“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I knew that he would give you a visit. He does not understand you as well as I do, but then he has not had my background. I can tell him, you see, “Well, I was there,” and he cannot say anything. [...]

[...] Our session is being witnessed by a student, a most intelligent young man (humorously). He also helps Ruburt with correspondence. Earlier tonight he wrote to a woman who has the same birthdate as Ruburt. [...]

[...] He’s a member of Jane’s ESP class, lives in New York City, and was in Elmira a day early to conduct some personal business.

[...] If it is to some extent affected by those conditions, then, it is because the effects follow in the same way that a painter is affected by the landscape that he has himself created. [...]

In an even larger context, difficult I know for you to follow, the son is the father of his father in quite as valid a way as he is the son, and vice versa.

[...] He may dislike it, but he will recognize it as a part of himself during whatever period it is assimilated. An ego which once accepted such an idea of violence, and knew it as a possibility of action, such an ego, if he then rejects the conception, can no longer afford, ever, to recognize this once acceptable emotion, for he is only too aware of the action that could have at one time developed.

Ruburt may now, if he wishes, work on his psychological time in the morning. I wanted that particular routine broken up for a while, but now if it is more convenient he may return to his old schedule; that is, that same time of day, but twenty minutes should still be the limit.

Willy likes to go out, but he is not used to being out all of the time. To an extent he feels banished. He simply picked up Ruburt’s feelings, now, which are strong, and Ruburt’s growing vehemence of intent. [...]

In an odd way, he is himself somewhat frightened of his behavior. Ruburt has decided to leave the house more often, and be free to go outside whenever he² wishes — not to spend so much time inside because of his work. Now he has sent Willy out as a testing device, and the cat does not know exactly what has happened.

[...] Seth hadn’t actually given us the material during Wednesday’s session, nor did he now — instead Jane verbalized it on her own to some extent. [...]

[...] Although we had a few shorter sessions on different matters during the holiday season, this is the first material Seth has given on his book since December 18 — and as he resumed dictation on Chapter Seven so easily, we were reminded that he’s impervious to our ideas of time.

[...] “He’s got a lot more there, all ready. I think he might talk about that book we bought last week, too — at least a little.”

[...] Recently Seth told us he’d dictate “a nice letter” that we could send to those who write along with any personal note we might add, but we haven’t obtained this yet.)

[...] [A note added later: But as things developed, he didn’t begin alluding to it until Chapter Ten.]

[...] The first very important change has been occurring; for he has progressed to a point where the knees’ positions have altered. [...]

He felt this today in certain positions, but that period is just about over, of discomfort.

I have another suggestion to make in the area of lovemaking—that you imagine yourself on occasion as your husband, and imagine what he must feel as he touches your body.

He is quite able to follow in these games, even to initiate them. [...]

In your particular case I would even suggest that you stay away from the normally accepted sexual areas for awhile, and enjoy instead of the content (?); i.e. when he kisses your hand, and you are aware of the sensation of lip against palm and vice versa—be aware of feeling also in your hand on his skin. [...]

[...] First of all, if you will forgive me, you would have no difficulty at all having orgasm with a man to whom you were deeply attracted if he were not your husband, and if you could get over the moral barriers that might prevent it—if you could convince yourself that it was all right.

[...] A man’s thoughts, then, are far more reaching than he knows. They exist in more dimensions, they affect worlds of which he is unaware. [...]

[...] In this electrical actuality they then exist independently of the dreamer, although he still applies the dream to himself. [...]

[...] The individual seems not to know where the thought comes from, because he does not recognize the characteristic mark of his brain upon it. [...]

[...] In his daily predictions he has begun to notice that one phrase seems to stand for more than one event in some cases.

[...] The man who has believed that he was evil may now see the world, or persons of another faith or political affiliation, as evil instead. He then feels rid of the problem itself but is quite ready to attack it in others, and with great self-righteousness and justification.

[...] Since she has written Ruburt several times, he was aware of the situation. [...]

[...] He suggested that Dineen find herself a job, stop seeing psychics, and assert her own individuality and her own responsibility for action. [...]

[...] For instance, the alcoholic is well acquainted with the battleground he or she has picked. [...]

[...] Bill thinks he remembers noticing a woman he thought was Cuban, with a baby.”)

(“Bill discussed this with a man we met, but he didn’t wear a coat or hat.”)

He is still gathering up his resources, and became quite panic-stricken at the situation in general. He is still working toward recovery, though the fear and panic did slow down that recovery considerably — and by recovery I mean simply the return to conditions just before this recent hang-up.

(3:27.) The session itself should reassure him enough to allow some of the panic to subside, so that he can begin to sense at least some return of composure. [...]

And do not pay any attention to Ruburt when he chews you all out. [...]

(To Ron L.) And our friend, Edgar, judges the self that he knows far too harshly and do not ask me what I mean by the statement. [...]

[...] He seemed to be an Oriental. He appeared to stand right over my left eye, so that I had to “look up” to see him. He carried some kind of notepad and said something like, “Now, if I may be permitted to do it like this....”

[...] Seth stated that this small symbol, with some initials, was on a rowboat at Provincetown, MA, and that Bill Macdonnel should have seen it while he spent some weeks there. [...]

[...] “I don’t know whether I should tell you this or not,” she said, “but for the last couple of days I’ve had the suspicion that he’s started another book. Maybe he didn’t want to tell me so I wouldn’t get upset about it. But when he says “comments” I figure he’s separating book material from stuff about me....” [...]

[...] As soon as Seth began talking about probabilities, I knew he was extending his material that he began in the session for December 21, in which he stated that unchosen probabilities may be quite changed by those chosen for activation. [...]

(“Sometimes,” Jane said, “I get or feel excited about what he’s saying—Seth—although you have nothing to show for it after the session. [...]

[...] Ruburt has always been cautious here, for when I tell him of the significance of the material, then he wonders about the aspect of his own personality. [...]

[...] I am more divorced from you than he is. [...]

[...] On many occasions I transmit information to your Seth and he then gives it to you. [...]

[...] He is therefore in a position to translate the information which I then impart. [...]

(I should also add that Jane’s Doctor K. wants her to return to the emergency room there this Friday to see Dr. Sobel from Ithaca—provided he’ll be there, of course. [...]

[...] The same sensations of discomfort can be felt at time in those areas, but those sensations are above all therapeutic, and “hurt” far less when he is not otherwise disturbed. [...]

(8:27.) He should have no trouble with the thyroid extract, but should begin to experience some sense of bodily accomplishment. [...]

[...] He should of course remind himself of the excellent results given on the nerve ends (the EKG) and through investigating other portions of the body through X-rays, for example. [...]

He understands what Ruburt has told him, and I am certain that he will explain it well to you. [...]

[...] For each individual has inner senses, whether or not he knows that he does, and these should be developed.

I have explained to your brother the reasons behind the Ferd prediction, and he will explain them to you. [...]

[...] I did not intend to be hard on Stephen, dear Julie, but it is very important that he understand what I say. [...]

[...] The “sinful-self syndrome” (long pause) was activated or heightened or highlighted in the last year or so in particular as you saw yourselves in a crisis situation (long pause), and to one extent or another Ruburt felt that he would be forced to ask for medical help if he did not further help himself. [...]

[...] He needed love’s expression on your part, and he spontaneously expressed his own love for you in words and action. [...]

[...] He is going to send her some suggestions for possible ways to go re recording material.

[...] The panic has to do with many issues involving Ruburt’s earlier experience, particularly with his mother and the church when he was a very young person, very determined to survive in life, and trying to learn what kinds of behavior added to or threatened that survival. [...]

The feelings should not be treated with disapproval, for it is, of course, because Ruburt disapproves of such feelings that he often keeps them hidden. [...]

[...] He may even refer to those feelings of distrust as a dear frightened part of himself, and then, again, address that part of the self sympathetically — telling it why it need no longer be frightened, and vocally and emotionally stressing the fact that the frightened portion of the self no longer needs defenses, but can now allow itself free and natural expression.

[...] I thought that tomorrow we could do something about that, then realized that Jim Baker, our optometrist, was due after 2:00 p.m. to deliver the two new pair of glasses he’d examined Jane for some time ago. [...]
