“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I will go further and shock you thoroughly, by mentioning that your regular seeds that do not develop, do not fail as a rule because of a lack of the necessary environmental ingredients, but simply because, for various reasons during a particular arbitrary point, they do not choose to so develop.

[...] I suggest your break, and keep in mind that I will speak more on the construction of the entity, the tree analogy being a good one, because all of our imaginary seeds do not develop into trees. This does not necessarily mean, either, that there is a deficiency; merely that the consciousness involved does not choose for one reason or another to materialize fully in a particular form, or to develop any given abilities along certain lines. [...]

[...] For practical purposes you may say, in truth on your own terms, that entities simply have had time to develop further personalities. [...]

[...] We are dealing here with a psychic tree however, and the seeds or personalities that do not develop into entities, do not because they do not choose to do so.

(It’s interesting to note, however, the way in which Seth “takes off” from material like Jung’s, developing it to include his own ideas and interpretations, as he does in this chapter.

[...] It contains within it the knowledge of the present male’s past female histories, and the intuitive understanding of all the female qualities with which the personality is innately endowed.

[...] Now I do not want to tell you all the answers to the Sumari development, for some of the answers you are to find out for yourselves and some of the answers cannot happen unless you discover them for yourselves. [...]

[...] And all of you have only to relax and let yourselves realize what you know and follow the Sumari development when our friends here are not physically with you. [...]

[...]  There is good without evil and this is simply the state of your understanding at this time. [...]

It will also be developed on your part as you let it develop, Joseph, and in your own work. [...]

[...] The turn however is a result of development on your parts, and the development will accelerate now that it has reached a certain level, with of course continued application on your parts.

[...] It developed that some of this material was distorted.)

For that matter, some intuitive understanding of the inverted time system can be achieved through a study of time as it appears to the dreamer.

All children exercise, though relatively few end up, say, as specialists in sports, so the end result of such physical play is the future development of a healthy, strong body. [...]

[...] It is also, like physical exercise, an energizing phenomena, one that expands and extends the mental and psychic properties as surely as physical exercise develops the body’s being. [...]

But the conflicts can dissolve in a synthesis of understanding, in which case the problems do indeed vanish. [...]

[...] I don’t think those events directly led Seth into beginning his new material, but in retrospect Jane and I agree that they certainly played some considerable part in establishing a foundation, or impetus, for such a development.

(And separately: Over the weekend Jane remarked more than once that “Unknown” Reality might prove to be so long that it could go into two volumes — a probable development I hardly took seriously. [...]

[...] In the dream state you set it free and see what will happen to it, how it will develop, where it will go.

At the same time, in the same world and in the same century, Joseph was an aggressive, adventurous, relatively insensitive Roman officer, who would have little understanding of manuscripts or records — yet who also followed authority without question.¹²

[...] You must learn to recognize, develop, and use these Inner Senses. [...]

Generally, though, this first Inner Sense can be extremely valuable, leading to expansion of experience, greater understanding, and compassion. [...]

The camouflage is necessary at this stage of development — intricate, complicated, various and beyond the understanding of the outer senses, which are the perceptors of the camouflage itself, peculiarly adapted to see under particular circumstances … It is only the inner senses that will give you any evidence at all of the basic nature of life.

[...] I mentioned this experience briefly in How To Develop Your ESP Power, but here I’m including Rob’s notes which provide a fuller version of the event and our attitude toward it at the time.

[...] … When you decipher one phenomena in terms of another, you always lose sight of whatever glimmer of understanding that may have reached you.

[...] (Intently:) Because of the particular kind of ego-orientation that the race decided upon, however, many probabilities of development inherent in the species have been latent. [...] This does not mean the development of dual personality, by the way. [...]

[...] I wanted him to enlarge upon the statement he’d made at 11:29 in the 690th session: “Further developments in your concepts will lead to greater activation in portions of the brain now not nearly utilized, and these in turn will trigger expansions in both psychic and biological terms.” [...]

[...] Without understanding or training, you would have to “lose” your own consciousness in order to perceive the “other-consciousness.”

[...] She decided to see what developed. [...]

Nevertheless at such times the old wounds are opened without the present personality’s understanding or awareness. [...]

(Jane is developing the habit of pacing back and forth as she dictates. [...]

However the human element must not be ignored, and whatever personal help and inner understanding this material brings to others will incite their intellectual curiosity, and this is all to the good. [...]

[...] I do not suggest, you see, that he do this on purpose daily, lest it develop psychologically into a self-sacrificial ritual. [...]

[...] It is only when aggressions are unexpressed that they are dangerous, and the repressed rage will hold back the desired psychic development. [...]

[...] There was no friendship developing however, nor any time for one. [...]

[...] The expansion of consciousness automatically leads you to understanding and compassion.

[...] Our young friend was developing his own intuitive abilities.

[...] He does not allow the development of his concepts or beliefs, for example. [...]

[...] Their understanding goes so far at this time. [...]

Over the years he developed patterns of behavior to deal with threatful situations. [...]

[...] For instance, when I tell you that the second inner sense is like your sense of time, this does give you some understanding of what psychological time is like, but you are apt to compare the two too closely.

[...] He developed at a lopsided level. [...]

[...] As you can experience days or hours within its framework in the dream state and not age for the comparable amount of physical time, so as you develop, you will be able to rest and be refreshed within psychological time even when you are awake. [...]

[...] Jane stopped talking and we waited quietly to see what might develop. [...]

You are beginning a new time in your lives, of greater understanding, compassion for yourselves and others, so hold with it. [...]

[...] Last week a rather mild infection had developed in the open area that had been infected last August. [...]

[...] I said that most “successful?” poetry and fiction might not penetrate very deeply into the human condition, compared with the understanding her own psychic gifts offered, but it would have been safe and accepted by her peers. [...]

Now in Mass Events and God of Jane he courageously went still further, letting it all hang out, as they say—a necessary part of his own growth and development. [...]

A focus upon natural inspiration, spontaneous creativity, psychic exploration, will automatically help relieve the physical situation, if this is done with some understanding. [...]

[...] We were discussing the material Seth had given after 11:38 in the last [712th] session; he’d talked about some of the strains Jane had experienced while serving “the first portion of her apprenticeship” in the development of her psychic abilities. [...]

[...] For whatever reasons since holding the 709th session, she hasn’t had to wait for that certain, more “difficult” kind of trance to develop before launching into Seth’s book material; see the note at 10:55 for that session. [...]

[...] At the same time you were determined to set yourself apart from the world to some extent, while still maintaining and developing an emotional contact with a mate that would be unlike any in your earlier experience. [...]

[...] The point of power is in the present;¹³ this kind of material and its understanding [by Ruburt and others] is more important than “past” causes.

The decision is your own according to your understanding. [...] Each of your personalities are free to accept and develop, from the miraculous banks of reality, those experiences and emotions that you want, and to reject those you do not want.

[...] ‘You’ll go on and develop your own way in this probability system,’ I say. [...]

[...] They will learn how to use it and develop their own abilities in their own way. [...]

[...] What do they have to do with the development of personality as we think of it? [...]

[...] Without it, no further development of consciousness can occur. [...]

[...] “And it’ll be on the book … I’m not used to being so relaxed beforehand, though …” What developed was a very short session, and contrary to her expectations, Seth devoted half of it to Jane herself. [...]

[...] The conscious art of creating, understanding, and using dreams has been largely lost; and the intimate relationship between daily life, world events, and dreams almost completely ignored. [...]
