“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If you “read yourselves” sideways in such a manner, you would discover portions of your own consciousness stretching out across the entire fabric of the earth as you understand it — becoming a part of the earth’s material, even as those materials become part of the self that you recognize. [...]

[...] You would not feel imprisoned as you often do within one corporal form, for you would understand that the body itself maintains its relative stability because of its constant give-and-take with the materials of the earth that are themselves possessed of consciousness.

[...] The animals must relate to the earth, and so must man. As the animal must play, mate, hunt his prey or eat his berries within the physical context of sun, ground, trees, snow, hail and wind, so in a different way man must pursue his ideas by clothing them in the elemental realities of earth, by perceiving them as events.

[...] Not only did they have no wrong intent, but the overall condition corrected the earth’s balance.

[...] It offers comfort, creativity, and inspiration that you only impede if you allow secondary experience to supersede your daily moment-to-moment encounter with the physical earth.

I am aware of your questions involving the sleeping and waking portions of life on the earth. [...]

[...] An onion comes up from the earth and the growth principle is within it; and imagine our poor onion in the earth. [...]

[...] When your species squatted in the cliff caves and when they ran in terror across the face of the earth pursued by wolves and imagined that demons lurked in the shadows, when with ghost memories were great contrast to the world that they saw and know, and so they weaved a story from their memories. [...]

Because there are millions of people upon the earth who would rather have someone speak and tell them what to do, rather than do it for themselves, that is why. [...]

[...] All of the earth’s languages, however, are united because of characteristic pauses and hesitations upon which the different sounds ride.

[...] Each person alive is a part of the living God, supported in life by the magnificent power of nature, which is God translated into the elements of the earth and the universe.

[...] It is obvious, of course, that the overall physical stability of the earth is possible because of the ever-occurring storms, “natural disasters,” and other seeming calamities. Yet such events promote the earth’s great, bountiful food supplies, and serve to redistribute the planet’s resources. [...]

[...] There is a cellular communication between or among all of earth’s living cells, as if the earth itself were one large physical body.

Dawn is breaking.
Why should I lie in bed
worrying about my body or the world?
Before time was recorded
dawn has followed dusk
and all the creatures of the earth
have been couched
in the loving context
of their times.

“For a long time these varieties of ancient men shared our earth and history, in varying terms. [...]

[...] At the same time a great give-and-take was occurring at all levels — including vegetation, for example — so that together the creatures and the earth worked out the kind of stability best suited for the particular kind of developments that were to emerge.

[...] The earth emerges. [...]

[...] So in many ways the stories of a God are myths, but you are still left with a bag of toys on one hand, and the luxurious earth on the other, so the question still remains.

My answer is that the myths in their own way try to hint at answers that are basically nonverbal, and at concepts that are themselves the fountainhead from which the earth and all existence springs.

True spirituality is a thing of joy and of the earth and has nothing to do with fake adult dignity. [...]

[...] The seed goes into the earth, however, and in the wintertime in any of your suburban gardens here beneath the snow are all these seeds. [...] Our seed, however, who does not have this fine intellect that sits so nicely beneath your hair and within your skull, our seed without the intellect, rests joyfully within the earth knowing it is in the midst of creativity and that from within it, again, another flower will spring. And it does not deny the earth that gives it birth. [...]

[...] For the scientist, if he would heed the call and if he would take a spade and dig in the middle of February perhaps down into the earth to find our seed, would find simply a shell. [...]

In your terms, your histories were not written by the people who worked the earth. [...] Those histories never spoke of the vast, massive emotions and needs of the human beings involved, who listened, because their hearts and survival depended upon their doing so, to the voices that speak within the earth that your instruments even now cannot perceive. [...]

And so those people lifted up their minds and hearts and heard the voices of the earth speak to them, as they still do. [...]

It did not serve your species’ purposes at this time to work with the mind — with telepathy, with the feeling for the earth that you could have developed.

(“Oh… What do you think of the remark Jane made the other day—that the earth represents our subconscious?)

[...] For the basic earth that gives you sustenance is formed from your own vitality. [...]

(Jane made the remark about the earth representing our unconscious last weekend while we were driving through the countryside.

True spirituality is a thing of joy and of the earth, and has nothing to do with fake adult dignity. [...]

[...] The body knows how to handle “natural” drugs coming directly from the earth — whether ground or boiled, minced or steamed. [...]

It is natural to live after death, and natural to return the body to earth and [then to] form another. [...]

[...] When you journey on the earth you move around the outside of it. [...] Earth trips, however, are made with the recognition of their surface nature.² When you think in terms of traveling to other planets or to other galaxies, though, the same kind of surface travel is involved. [...]

(10:09.) If Ruburt had tried to visit the woman by plane he would have followed the curve of the earth, but in those terms the energy went through in the “straightest” way.⁷

(“But not through the earth?” I asked. [...]

You imagine that your own earth is mapped out, and all frontiers known, but the linear aspects of your planet’s life represent a most minute portion of its reality.

[...] You are planning earthly reincarnations. [...] When your eyes close therefore, you bring realities to earth, and when your eyes open you also thrust them out into actuality.

[...] In certain terms these are built up using the medium at hand — the biological properties of the earth. [...]

[...] The races are alive together at any given time on your earth in varying proportions, so there are physical organizations, biologically speaking, that you recognize. [...]

In those terms each living person has other counterparts of himself or herself alive, generally speaking, at the same time, sharing the physical face of the earth. [...]

[...] In such a way mental abilities and propensities are given a greater range, and distributed about the earth.

[...] The earthly characteristics often appear as he is depicted in animal form, for he was also of course connected with the intuitive terrestrial attributes from which the new human consciousness would spring.

[...] In whatever terms, the devotee is told that there is something wrong with earthly experience. [...]

Here in different context is the same denial of the worth and integrity of earth experience. [...]

[...] The twelve, therefore, plus Christ as you know him (the one figure composed of the three) represented an individual earthly personality — the inner self — and twelve main characteristics connected with the egotistical self. [...]
