“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Four: I will realize that the future is a probability. [...] Therefore I will plant accomplishments and successes, and I will do this by remembering that nothing can exist in the future that I do not want to be there.

[...] Briefly, immediately refuse to worry about the future or the past. Tell yourself you can worry another time if you want to — but for the moment you will not be concerned about the past or the future.

[...] In the analogy these future selves would dwell in other dimensions, and usually self one, or Jane, would be relatively unaware of their, existence or knowledge. [...]

[...] Again now, we are all independent with our own futures and pasts, in your terms. [...]

Suffice it so say also that in this analogy, self 6 is far more than simply a future self one. [...]

In those terms then, in some inconceivable future, Jane will not become me, nor grow into me. [...]

Often you are reacting to implied threats—either those you imagine in the future or remember from the past, so that you do not take the necessary comfort in the sense data of any given moment. [...]

You imagine what might happen to future books. [...]

[...] Sometimes Ruburt feels guilty at any improvement he feels on any given day because it seems too obvious that this is only a setup for a future disappointment. [...]

[...] Most likely it will be put out as one volume sometime in the future. [...]

[...] Played old Safe Universe Seth tape for them, was struck by Seth’s discussion strongly and saw how back in ‘75 he had the issues already organized for the future.... [...]

[...] The physical signs that he recognizes are definite indications of the body’s excellent response, and predictive of future ability. [...]

The appointment made but not kept refers to the fact that you all said you would get together again in the near future, and you did not.

The body beliefs, continuing their materialization, kept him discouraged, and promoted dire images of the future and so forth, that were quite in line with the beliefs involved. [...]

In terms of earthly life as you understand it, it is overly optimistic to imagine that eventually all illnesses will be conquered, all relationships be inevitably fulfilling, or to foresee a future in which all people on earth are treated with equality and respect. [...]

Within Seth’s concept of simultaneous time, the treasured images in this gallery are fine examples of how the “past” lives in the “present” and in the “future.”

In a distant future, even in your field, the limits of the so-called objective world will clearly be known and demonstrated, and a great freedom for mankind will result.

[...] The matter of this reality, of which you know so little, will be the basis for future discussions, and indeed your inner senses will aid you in the perception of some of its facets.

(I would like to add here a note that may or may not be of future interest.

[...] It is this very nearness that made you dissatisfied with what you had just finished, an inner comparison of this with work you will do in the very (underlined) near future; and no reflection on the leaf painting, except by future contrasts. [...]

In some respects he is a slightly future version of your mother, already having gained from her experiences. [...]

[...] I’m marking the photo with this session number, for possible future reference.)

Because of man’s great gift of imagination, however, the alarm signals not only invade a safe present moment, but go jangling into the next one and the one following, and are endlessly projected into the future. [...]

[...] Therefore, I entreat you not to behave as if man will destroy himself in some future — not to behave as if man is an imbecile, doomed to extinction, a dimwitted, half-crazy animal with a brain gone amuck.

When you are considering the future in your terms, constructive achievements are as realistic as destructive ones. [...]

[...] You only add to their unfortunate nature by negatively brooding upon what might happen in the future, and you destroy your own stance. [...]

The dog does not recall joyful appreciation of his own state of grace from a past, nor anticipate a recurrence in any future. [...]

[...] The punishment as an event, and the event for which you were being punished, exist at once; and since there is no past, present and future, you could just as well say that the punishment came first.

[...] You are still happening — but both present and future selves; and your past self is still undergoing what you think is done. [...]

Now: As I said before, also, when faced with the difficulty, the conventional, rational approach tells you to look at the problem, examine it thoroughly, project it into the future, and imagine its dire consequences — and so, faced with the idea of a disclaimer (for Mass Events), that is what you did to some extent, the two of you. You saw the disclaimer as fact, imagined it in your minds on the pages of our books, projected all of that onto future books, and for fine good measure you both imagined this famous disclaimer published in editions of all the books as well.

[...] In the meantime, of course, your nervous systems reacted to the implied threat against your work, a threat that now existed in the past, present, and future.

[...] 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. [...] You are bony structures momentarily looking out through eyes and seeing through pulses, yet you form the eyes and the pulses and the worlds that make them possible and the dramas that so intrigue you from the past and the present and the future, and yet in all of these there are doorways, there are beginnings. [...]

You had not wanted such a dog until you had room and a larger place, and in the past you had not gotten the dog because subconsciously you hoped you would have more land within a brief, foreseeable future. [...]

[...] You saw yourself in the future worse off. [...]

[...] You have the fears that this image can evoke, and you must be very on guard against projecting this idea or image into the future.

[...] Whenever you find yourself projecting failure in any sense into the future, even into tomorrow, stop yourself, remind yourself that your thoughts form reality.

And what about the future? [...] They never even enter our past, present, or future reference.

We are aware of past, present, and future—a series of moments strung out, it seems, one before the other. [...]

[...] Suppose, as Seth maintains, that past, present, and future are also artificial devices, divisions superimposed over a spacious moment in which all action is simultaneous.

[...] We can perceive portions of the future. [...]

[...] In other words, I am not now speaking of portions of yourself that exist in your so-called future.

Each probable self you see also has future selves. [...]

To one extent or another you can “pick up on” any personality living or dead, historically or in the future—but in any future, because in far more complicated ways each psyche contains within it the experience and knowledge of others. [...]

[...] I will tell you now that that leap is assured—for had it not been assured in what seems to be your future, I would not have emerged in your past (whispering.
