“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Most individuals, for example, develop intellectually or emotionally or physically, ignoring to a large degree the body’s and the mind’s full potential. [...]

[...] You rarely find a person who is a great intellect, a great athlete, and also a person of deep emotional and spiritual understanding — an ideal prototype of what it seems mankind could produce.

[...] Anything apparent to whatever degree in your system is developed in another.

[...] The petal of a flower, for example, is not more developed than the root. [...]

He also felt that you had already disapproved of Seth Speaks, not understanding the Nebene connection. [...]

[...] And while there have been severe conflicts, understandings on all levels have occurred, and development.

Understanding then, you can use the abilities as you want. [...]

[...] The suggestions given, all of them, followed consistently—and none of them were—would have led you through channels of understanding culminating in Ruburt’s recovery. [...]

[...] We are attempting to develop Ruburt’s abilities. They are not fully developed by any means.

[...] Perhaps such a meeting would facilitate mutual understanding, without which such a venture has little hope of success.

[...] However, this is a rather permissive relationship in many respects, and one of my primary concerns has been to allow both of you to recognize and develop your own abilities.

My interest is in the development of the abilities. [...]

[...] The camouflage is necessary at this stage of development, intricate, complicated, various and beyond understanding of the outer senses which are the perceptors of camouflage itself, peculiarly adapted to see under particular circumstances. [...]

[...] But when you decipher one phenomena in terms of another you always lose sight of whatever glimmer of understanding may have reached you.

[...] On your plane the brain is extremely important, and for your information many animals have a highly developed mind though their brains may be small.

I will go into this sort of development at a later time. [...]

Looking back, it is obvious that I had unknowingly reached a crisis of development — a crisis that comes to each of us in our early adulthood. [...] Either we grow to a new understanding of the meaningfulness of existence, or we lose much of the force and purpose with which our youth automatically endows us.

I’m including in this chapter a few poems as notes of a subjective autobiography, to show what events triggered this first release of unconscious material on my part, opening the doors to the interior universe; for now I believe that certain personal conditions are characteristic prerequisites for such developments, that the channels of intuitive knowledge are opened according to the intensity of individual need. [...]

[...] However, she also began to occasionally manifest an upsetting new development—a slight tremor in her voice. [...] Jane was concerned and not concerned, and once again I saw in her that innocent acceptance of the reality she was creating—the one I often had such trouble understanding [as well as my own participation in creating it!]. [...]

“The sessions on the magical approach… can serve as valuable springboards to release from your own creative areas new triggers for inspiration and understanding, and hence for therapeutic development. [...]

Those branches of probabilities act like remote sensors, seeking out those conditions that will be suited to the seed’s best value fulfillment and development. [...]

[...] Such understanding is often experienced or sensed, however, sometimes as you are listening to music or when you are deeply stirred by emotion, and when you do not place a great distance between it and yourself.

[...] In terms of time, lapses had to occur as various species physically matured and developed. [...]

[...] In them she discussed the development of her Sumari “language.”

[...] Your cultural world view does not have any clear understanding of the nature of dreams, so that their direct, clear expression is not recalled often in the morning. [...]

In a way, the one-line kind of consciousness that you have developed can be correlated with your use of any one language. [...]

[...] She has solved the problems that she set, and brought forth in her husband compassion and understanding—qualities that greatly help in his own development. [...]

There would have been all kinds of complications as a result of the Friday episode had it not been for your combined prayer activities and new understanding. [...]

[...] They are not [as a rule] as developed as you are, as you are not as developed as your entity is. [...]

[...] As Ruburt told you, I was here at the regular hour last night and aware of the happenings, and perfectly willing to let the session go, understanding the circumstances.

[...] The consciousness of being human was fully developed in the caveman, of course, but the human conception was alive in the fish.

[...] They are always paramount in evolutionary development, being the impetus behind the physical formations. … The inner senses themselves, through the use of mental enzymes, imprint the data contained in the mental genes onto the physical camouflage material.

In the present personality we have abilities developed in past lives, and ability to paint for example that should be made more use of now. [...]

There were other personalities of course who were fairly developed but these were resting. [...]

It is in many ways the fault of personalities themselves as to which lands are developed or underdeveloped in various ways. [...]

[...] But once development begins to occur it is swift.

[...] You continue to develop your abilities, but you continue to develop them in dimensions of reality that you do not understand now and so in this existence of mine I am a teacher and I visit other dimensions of actuality such as your own. [...]

[...] It should be a new development and one that was inherent from the beginning for you. [...]

[...] You develop the abilities that are yours, the best you can, within physical reality. [...]

[...] Soon I will not feel the need for such feelings for understanding will change my emotional makeup. [...]

[...] The full development of his creative abilities however needed the psychic development. [...]

(At a quick scan I thought the ideas answered all the questions we’d had about the symptoms over the years—explaining, for instance, their onset before the psychic developments, etc. [...]

[...] This could not have developed in the beginning, however.

[...] This has not proven true, for many reasons, some having to do with development.

[...] It seemed to Ruburt, with his understanding, that if his information was coming from a paranormal source, and that source was good, then it must also prove itself to be infallible, or he was a false prophet. [...]

[...] The session contains more than is apparent, and there are developments that can arise from it as a direct result of concentration being directed elsewhere, a release of energy seeking new outlets in other words.

[...] For Ruburt to make money, to become known, puts this same kind of burden upon them, you see, of understanding.

[...] Perhaps Seth will develop it in another work. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) It depends upon conscious thinking, problem-solving methods, and it is a natural human blossoming, a spectacular mental development in its own framework of activity.

[...] He brings to bear his own understanding, compassion, artistry, and if he is a good actor, or if she is, then when the play is over the actor is a better person for having played the role.

[...] Your work is still developing. [...]

(Long pause.) I am not simply saying that genetic activity can be changed, for example, through something like a nuclear accident, but that highly beneficial alterations can also take place in genetic behavior, as in your terms the genetic structure not only prepares the species for any contingency, but also prepares it by triggering those characteristics and abilities that are needed by the species at any given time, and also by making allowances for such future developments (all quite forcefully).

[...] (Pause.) That is, the reasoning mind, as you have used it, considers that only reasoning creatures are capable of understanding life’s values. [...]

Ruburt read an article about the development of a strain of mice without thymus [glands]. [...]

[...] (Jean Baptiste de Monet de Lamarck [1744–1829] was a French naturalist who advocated that certain modifications of an organism’s structure and function could develop in response to environmental factors, and that these “acquired characters” could be inherited. [...]

[...] The best was probably the opening of fluent communication between the two of you, and Ruburt’s understanding that you would go full steam ahead to help him recover—his understanding that you did indeed want him to recover. [...]

[...] There had been a number of developments in the past few days, and the session that follows outlines some of those as they apply to Jane’s condition, so there’s little need to repeat them here.

[...] And yet I feel that only a portion of his consciousness is here during sessions — the part expressed through me — so that whatever the nature of Seth’s native experience, his performance in our world only hints of a psychological complexity quite beyond our present understanding.

And in all of this, as always, Seth stresses probabilities as playing a vital role in the development of the individual and the species, and as representing the basis for free will. [...]

[...] Now we will include usual session notes, but the reader will have to keep track of the development of the theories or correlate them with previous Seth books at his or her leisure.

[...] The delivery of the material itself has helped him to develop the necessary flexibility for his latest pursuits.

Clear understanding or effective exploration of the unknown reality can be achieved only when you are able to leave behind you many “facts” that you have accepted as criteria of experience. [...]

The development freed Ruburt from many old limitations, and allowed him to at last have practical experience with the unknown reality in intimate terms. [...]

[...] These interests will be like an avocation to you, adding great understanding and depth to your experience.

It is only when a schism develops that the overly conscientious self becomes quite unreasoning in its demands and expectations. [...]

[...] The problem is somewhat one of definition and understanding.

[...] Seth, here, adds to our understanding of Jane’s reactions to some of the challenges she took up 11 years ago. [...]

[...] This has nothing to do with so-called psychic phenomena, but the natural growth and development of a personality whenever it tries to go beyond its space and time context, and takes on challenges of such a nature.

[...] Often a situation of unbalance is set up that would not exist had the personality not accepted the challenges and, hence, the potentials for an even greater development.

[...] These methods may seem to lead to great distortions, particularly in contrast with the sensed possibilities of development. [...]
