“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] But out of this work I expect our questions for Seth will come. [...]

[...] When the session began I half expected Seth to tell us to stay away from old deleted sessions, since as mentioned delving into the past can cause too intense a focus there, and reinforce problems, whatever they may be. [...]

I expect you to! And I expect that in all due seriousness. [...]

[...] I am plagued by fears whenever I consider any particular direction—perhaps even the fear that I will not be able to measure up to my expectations. [...]

My environment, as I mentioned earlier, is not one of a personality recently dead in your terms, but later I will describe what you can expect under those conditions. [...]

(Without necessarily expecting an answer this evening, I asked a question I thought Jane might want to consider if and when she wrote an introduction for this book: Could she dictate the whole book for Seth in, say, a month’s worth of daily sessions, or did she need a certain amount of day-by-day living and experience, over a period of months, perhaps, in order to be able to let the book come through?

Now: Your conscious ideas, expectations and beliefs direct the health and activity of the cells. [...]

[...] The cell does not need to be consciously aware of you in order to fulfill itself, even though your expectations of health largely influence its existence, but your recognition of the soul and entity can help you direct energies from these other dimensions into your daily life.

[...] You cannot expect such overall bodily changes, and not expect to feel them. [...]

[...] He expects himself to possess all of the qualities that his art tries to entice from human nature. [...]

[...] He expects himself to do such things, and the minute he gets better, he says, he will go thusly out into the world.

[...] If that is expected of him in line with both of your current beliefs in the body’s poor performance then he does not feel free to go at all.

You do not need to imagine him arising with your flexibility, nor should he at this point, but you should each expect continued improvement, and gradations of ever-growing freedom of mobility. [...]

(To group.) And all of you attend the classes of which you frequently remember your experiences, and I expect even more frequent memory on your part as time goes by. [...] And I even expect you (Ron) to remember the dream. [...]

[...] You cannot teach a boy to be “the strong silent male type,” and then expect him to excel either verbally or in social relationships. You cannot expect a girl to show “strong, logical thought development” when she is taught that a woman is intuitional — that the intuitions are opposed to logic, and that she must be feminine, or nonlogical, at all costs. [...]

[...] You clearly made it known that you expected him to behave in that one regard in a different manner. [...]

[...] This of course did the job that gravity would normally be expected to do. [...]

[...] If the beginning of movement in a piece of furniture is weird to start with, a refusal by the table to sit on the floor as one expects is much more so. [...]

(Pause, one of few, at 9:50.) I expect that by now my readers have at least begun to examine their beliefs, and perhaps obtained a glimpse of some invisible ones that had been accepted before as definite aspects of reality.

[...] Beginning at 10:45, Seth gave several pages of material for me; I’d hardly expected it. [...]

[...] She was of an indeterminate age in the dream, as I was, and I believe she was telling me what to expect out there. However, I also knew what to expect.

You must each expect improvement and look for it. [...]

1. When I wrote these notes on July 17, I hardly expected that several weeks later Seth would so effectively “put them in their place,” so to speak, as he enlarged upon his discussion of the magical approach:

[...] As to be expected, industry owners and operators maintain that their plants have little or nothing to do with the creation of the dead lakes in the Adirondacks in New York State, for example, or in certain Canadian provinces across the Great Lakes.

[...] I thought the head was too small, but well done, quite youthful with curly black hair and handsome features, as one would expect such a magical character to have. [...]

[...] One would expect the pages of the pad to be white, ready for drawing. [...]

[...] Certainly neither of us bad expected Seth to go into the affair involving the two houses in Sayre.

(We haven’t talked a great deal about the probable ramifications inherent in the whole house episode — rather, we expected such concepts to operate if the Seth material has any validity. [...]

[...] Going through Mr. Markle’s house was quite an experience — certainly I hadn’t expected to find myself doing so now, some 43 years after the last time I’d been in it. [...]

The recorder worked because you wanted the recorder to work, and expected it to work. [...]

[...] This is to be expected, but you will learn from your mistakes, as well as from your successes.

[...] You cannot expect however a steady and unchanging state of exuberant happiness. [...]

[...] The cat episode, my dear friend, (laugh) was not connected with either of your indispositions, except for your own negative expectations. [...]

[...] He expected some understanding mixed perhaps with mild exasperation.

[...] Many people spend hours, now and then, caressing each other’s bodies, massaging each other, or simply relaxing in such a way, whether or not a sexual encounter occurs or is expected.

[...] Do not expect the books to sell like novels, as I have told you. [...]

[...] You are not being treated like merchandise at Prentice, whatever Prentice’s faults might be, and you would be treated like merchandise by the high-powered agent, who would consider you a fine property, and expect you to act accordingly.
