“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Concentrating upon your own camouflage universe, you are able to distinguish only the distortive pattern, and from this pattern you deduce your ideas of cause and effect, past, present and future, and ideas of an expanding universe that floats …

In his other main concern, “getting better,” he looks back upon past failures, and projects impediments into the future. [...]

[...] Just not worrying about it immediately began to give you some financial gain, for in Framework 2 conditions were reversed, and the imagined impediments were not projected into the future. [...]

[...] That help is blocked, if in Framework 1 you constantly imagine impediments or concentrate upon past poor performance, or project such performance into the future.

Now there is not time, in your terms, it is all simultaneous and yet, in your terms, you can become aware of what you would call a future self. No act of yours predisposes a future self to act or forces him or her to act in a particular manner. [...]

[...] In your terms you alter the past and the future. [...]

“I am the voice of your world in its past and its future, and because of that I am your own voice in its past and future. [...]

“And I show to you the castles of your past and your future, and the mental civilizations that are your heritage and your birthright. [...]

[...] Surely there’s no future in that for the personality, at least in mundane terms.

It took Ruburt some time to establish a certain kind of “equilibrium” for this evening’s session, but there will be no future difficulties in that direction. [...]

[...] Personal association, therefore, is highly involved with your personal bank of symbols, and it operates in the dream states precisely as in waking life — but with greater freedom, and drawing from the future, in your terms, as well as from the past.

Therefore, you have greater use of symbolism in the dream state, for you are aware of past and future symbols. [...]

[...] An “instant” recovery would have been too easy, in that he might have reasoned in the future that such a course was after all safe: he could always snap out of it at any time.

In the 256th session he said, “Because you are obsessed with the idea of past, present, and future, you are forced to think of reincarnations as strung out one before the other. [...] 145 B.C., A.D. 145, a thousand years in your past, and a thousand years in your future—all exist now.”

[...] We hope Seth will discuss this more thoroughly in the future.)

“There is no past, present, and future. [...]

[...] You are forming past, present, and future—simultaneously. [...]

[...] This is for the future, however, and again with your permission.

[...] On top of that, you projected worries into the future as well. [...]

[...] Problems that existed in the past will not be encountered in the future to anything like the same degree when Ruburt begins his encounter with the world again—for his and your feelings and beliefs have changed enough.

Up to now you both have been playing the illness game strongly, in your imagination both creating symptoms, imprisoning Ruburt within them in the present, seeing them in the future, and examining future events in the light of present symptoms.

Some night I will give you some pointers on practical matters having to do with letters you receive, the future of the material, and other matters. [...]

(To Sally.) I can show you the children you have had in the past, and those you will have in the present and in the future. For the present, past and the future are all present, but not when you hit the panic button when I come as you have done in the past. [...]

I expect you to form a new class reality and certain of you will be involved with a joint out-of-body experience and other experiences in the future. [...]

Now some individuals, some personalities, prefer a life organization bound about past, present, and future in a seemingly logical structure, and these persons usually choose reincarnation. [...]

[...] A few in your country are becoming aware on a very faint theoretical basis, when they consider the possibilities involved in the breaking down of physical components into basic energy forms, such theories being considered I believe along with a future space program. [...]

[...] Even in the distant future such realignments will involve costly, complicated and almost impossible achievements because you will be trying to approach the problem working from the outside inward. [...]

If at any time in the future there is even the necessity for a deeper trance on Ruburt’s part, I will let you know at the time and there will be nothing to worry about. [...]

[...] I hope to go into it in the future.

[...] This is a very important point, which will come up with us again in the future.

[...] Because a thought, as electric action, may exist both within your past and your present, this is not to say that it becomes two electric actions, one existing in the past and one existing in the future. [...]

— working on the interior patterns that will form the next day’s realities, and providing probable previews of future events. [...]

[...] When they sleep, the waking nations add the day’s events to the world memory, and work out future probabilities.

[...] Imagine it also in the future, and it will be in the future.

But do not imagine this in future terms, but in present terms. [...]

[...] Even in the dream state, any present expands into its own version of past and future; so in those terms the dream possesses its own background, its own kind (underlined) of historic past, the moment you construct it.

[...] The past and future ripple outward from any event, making it “thicker” than it appears to be.

[...] If you are alert and curious while dreaming (and you can learn to be), then you can catch yourself in the act of creating a dream’s past and future at once.

However, it seems to you that all action in the past is fixed and done, while behavior in the future alone is open to change — so the word “prediction” assumes future action. Basically, the past is as open to change as the future is. [...]

Paintings, sketches and drawings will be seen by millions of people as they appear—and will—in current and future books. [...]

[...] Your beliefs will affect your future life until you realize it is not true. [...]
