“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] She called to tell Ruburt that she had lost her job this morning; but more than this, that she was involved in a week of very negative circumstances and emotional encounters. [...] All of her other encounters of late had seemed to follow the same pattern. [...]

[...] The dream experience would be cast into the dream landscape and encountered there. [...]

[...] In your dreams you might then encounter such personages. [...]

[...] I’ll describe the latest of the many courses of action we’ve found ourselves considering over the years as we work with the Seth material, while trying to keep a balance between the realities we’ve created for ourselves and the possibilities we constantly encounter in the “outside” world.

[...] Also involved would be the instant criticisms we’d encounter. [...]

[...] He was not a passive receptor however, the cat, and he even learned from his encounters with Jack Wall. [...]

[...] We live in a world slung between our dearest hopes and greatest fears, while seldom encountering either in their pure form.

[...] While this one contained elements similar to those described in earlier encounters, new ideas and questions were generated also. [...]

Someone else may choose to focus upon intellectual achievement to such a degree that he shuts out all true closeness, and though he can accept a permanent relationship, he will not experience the emotional richness that others may derive from a much briefer encounter. [...]

The difficulty at the drinking establishment was due mainly to the encounter with the college girl, who is connected with the nursery school. [...]

[...] He was in excellent condition before the encounter.

[...] You simply recognize each other, and you come together as old friends have a habit of doing, and you have a great pretense that you have not known each other before, and that the encounter is a new one. [...]

[...] You have it in your mind that there is some dam or wall that you must encounter before you are free to leave your body, and such is not the case. [...]

[...] I fell asleep again briefly after encountering the impasse posed by the closed door. [...]

[...] They have to do, however, with experiences that you will not normally encounter in your particular system, that lie latent. [...]

We will here encounter no such difficulties as were encountered in the past. [...]

[...] I’m afraid that the encounter was typical of others we’ve had with the members of academia, and once again we were rather taken by surprise. [...]

(By way of reactions, we thought of improving our behavior in any such future encounters, insistently if necessary, and of preparing for them by informing would-be visitors that they’d have to read a selected list of books beforehand. [...]

(The whole experience was obviously very therapeutic, and to me it seemed like an excellent sign of encountering beliefs that had helped create her Sinful Self. [...]

(Long pause.) “The church” was not a hypothetical entity, but was encountered through Ruburt’s experience with the priests who visited, their effect upon his life and his poetry, and with the entire fabric of a young intense daily life. [...]

[...] The ideas are best promoted through these sessions, and books—and not by hasty encounters on television, where answers must be simplified and ideas diluted, but in the reasoned writings that build in their own way, tell Ruburt, resting upon the great framework of the intuitions’ knowledge. [...]

[...] The glasses came up cleansed, but together again, and the frames were updated—so that Ruburt’s fears, encountered as he is doing of late, actually allow him to see better and clear his vision. [...]

[...] They were intense encounters with good and evil as you understood them at the time and when you acted, you acted according to your terms of good and evil. [...]

[...] And so as all things that have come and gone already begun and in their beginning they change and alter, creativity once more arises and you play your part in it and you find yourselves embarked in a new world, in new sensations, in new encounters with self, even though the sense even now passes away and you know where the future is behind you and the past that is yet to come for the past is forever as new as the future and in all things are there beginnings without endings and even your ideas of endings rouse themselves and can never pass away. [...]

[...] Those poor people will build up for themselves a logical sequence of events, in which the most innocent encounter is turned into a frightening threat. They will project that fear outward until they seem to meet it in each person they encounter.

[...] If you were your father’s son, you were somewhere your father’s daughter, and it was at that point of reference that you encountered the dream situation. [...]

If he reminds himself then he will have memory of some of these encounters, and this will be of help. [...]

[...] Never think that perhaps you would be better off without it, or that it presents more difficulties than those encountered by other men. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s initial experience represented such an encounter. [...]

[...] Jane said that when the session began she had a tiny hint of first encountering Seth’s personality, and then of going beyond this to the other.

[...] The exterior universe with its galaxies — as you understand it, and on that level of activity — can be encountered on certain rigid space-time coordinates. [...]

[...] In her notes at the beginning of the 710th session, Jane described how she’d heard Seth’s very powerful voice in her sleep state during the night of October 5. I can write now that she has yet to have any subsequent, similar kind of encounter with Seth or his voice.)

[...] There are too many variables in measurement and interpretation, including the difficulties the human mind encounters when it attempts to grasp the enormous spans of time and space involved.

[...] I made a verbatim record of her first encounter with slow, or long, sound in the 612th session for September 6, 1972, just about a year after she’d finished Seth Speaks. Since the material in that session wasn’t covered in Personal Reality or Adventures, we’re publishing most of it as an appendix for this volume.* Not only will it illuminate these notes; it will also link, if loosely, Seth’s reality, Seth Two, and some other “rapid” effects. [...]

[...] All however would appear as superhuman in contrast to those civilizations that encountered them. [...]

Out-of-body encounters were used as a matter of course. [...]

(9:36.) The whole moral code idea was originally tailored for the current scene as it was encountered, told in terms that the natives could understand.
