“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

and within my head (pause)

head toward the grass,

[...] She made some motions with her head and shoulders off the bed, side to side, with noises and harder breathing. [...]

[...] Head and shoulders again. [...]

(Now from 4:21 to 4:30 Jane went through several more sequences of exercising with her head and shoulders, side to side, accompanied by grunts and groans, and with her left foot moving in a rather gentle rhythm also. [...]

[...] My dream character stood confidently facing the reader — except that I’d omitted drawing his head! My assistant had drawn the head, though, on a small separate piece of board, and protected it with a piece of tracing paper. 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. I also saw that the head was almost too youthful for the strong physique of the character I’d drawn, although I wasn’t critical of this. All that remained was for the printer to fit the head and the body together. [...]

[...] In the dream he sees himself returning to the comics, only the Sunday edition (special), and the superhero character is much more prominent than the comics would ordinarily have it; the smaller head representing, I think, the idea that the intellect’s place is smaller or of a lesser nature than he earlier supposed. At dream’s end Rob says that the head was almost too youthful for the body he’d drawn — maybe a reminder that the natural person is younger in ways than the intellectual self. I think that Rob is himself in the dream, represented by the super character as the magical self; and also that he is the assistant who had prepared the figure’s head.

[...] They provide a built-in faith that pervades each living creature, each snail, each hair on your head. [...]

[...] Ruburt tries to prove that he is reasonable, rational (underlined), where such people, he feels, have never learned to use their powers of reason, and instead trust every stray thought that comes into their heads. [...]

[...] Her head kept dipping down and I kept calling her, and she kept telling me that every time I did so I interrupted her when she was “getting something.” [...]

(Long pause, head down. [...]

[...] (Long pause, head down.) Read that last small group of sessions together, so that the material, both verbal and otherwise, stays with you—and again, you will be feeling the additional reassurance and confidence that comes from your individual and joint triumph, when such episodes are conquered. [...]

(After supper this evening Jane read some notes I’d written recently, in which I speculated about why I paint portraits — my “heads,” as I call them — out of my “imagination,” instead of using live models of “real people.” [...]

[...] Then, no sooner had we sat for the session than Jane asked me to write down what she was about to say, since she had the material available whether or not Seth got to it: “A new part, or chapter heading: ‘People Who Are Afraid of Themselves. [...]

(“Well, I think I felt that way last week, when I was working on my latest head. [...]

Now: The headings Ruburt gave: This [next] will be Part 3: “People Who are Frightened of Themselves.”

[...] I rubbed various spots on Jane’s neck and head—got good results with motions. [...]

[...] Exercises and heavy breathing—head and shoulders, left foot and right foot. [...]

[...] Jane could also turn her head to the right, on the column of her neck, to look towards me a bit, in a way she can’t usually do. [...]

[...] More head motions. [...]

Now: someone might fall down and badly jar the head or neck area, in which case you have an observable bruise, or wound or whatever. [...]

[...] The resulting release of muscular tension was definitely obvious to him, and reflected not only in the neck or head area, but also in the important knee areas, and traveling to the ankles.

[...] The head motion to the right was improved, the shoulder areas further released, the jaws also—and those releases pulled out, so to speak, to the hip areas. [...]

Ruburt’s main physical difficulty will be alleviated as the head area clears, so any improvements there are highly important. [...]

(As quickly as she could once she became aware of what was happening that Sunday morning, Jane typed a 3-page summary or outline of the contents for The Way Toward Health, including chapter headings, then wrote a very condensed statement about how the whole thing came to her. [...]

[...] Went to my study, got chapter headings and outline, more or less, but I don’t know yet how to get the rest of it; I feel almost that it’s a Seth book, that I need him to bring it in. [...]

(Now, after just a little organizing on my part, here are a few samples from the 35 chapter headings in Jane’s outline for The Way Toward Health. [...]

The Way Out of Illness?
A title or chapter heading? [...]

[...] The feeling of being full through the body—heavy—has a connection with the full-head feeling, initially, of sinus origin physically.

When he began clamping down on physical spontaneity, tensing of the head, neck and jaw areas was involved, leading to a sinus condition. [...]

The cold for example is also bringing in particular an increased blood flow through the head and neck area, and also to the extremities. [...]

There is quite a bit I can say involving both of your attitudes toward those poor people not as level-headed as yourselves (louder)—your beliefs about them, but that can wait until after dictation at our next session.

[...] Jane slowly came out of a good trance; she patted the top of her head as she did so, several times. “I keep trying to stuff all of myself back inside my head,” she said. [...]

[...] The pyramid effect seemed to make her hold her head quite still and even, as though performing a balancing act for the subjective pyramid. [...]

[...] Without warning Jane stopped speaking; her head fell back against the rocker. [...]

(Pause.) Separated from that — that is one heading — the next heading: “Your Multidimensional Reality in the Now of Your Being.”

[...] That is the heading.

[...] That is the heading.

[...] I simply wanted to give the heading and the direction.

(Jane was left with a page or so of fragmented notes and a couple of possible chapter headings. [...]

(“What’s going on with his head?” For the record: Jane’s head has been draining steadily most of the day; it had been bothering her even during the session.)

[...] In this case also healing energies are rushed to the sinus and head-neck areas, from which in Ruburt’s case, physically, the symptoms originated—through strain and tension.

[...] My head has its own rustlings inside, / shoulders are relaxing; drooping; / everything seems significant—waiting—yet happening at once... [...] Something—pressure in my head maybe keeps changing—the bottoms of my feet feel woozy; they throb gently; so does my neck; my breath deepens, ears feel funny—was going to walk around the house or do some other writing but for now at least I’ll have to go along with... [...]

[...] If you turn your head away for a moment and then look quickly back you can see only the wave. [...] Only by turning your head aside momentarily can you see what is beneath the seemingly solid pattern. [...]

[...] Jane started some motions with her left foot, then her torso and head, back and forth against the pillow. [...]

[...] Rather strong motions of her head and shoulders, side to side and up and down. [...]

[...] “Oh, oh, oh”—good motions of her head and torso, with noises, and feet alternating motions also. [...]

[...] Jane did some motions with her head and shoulders left leg and hip. [...] I rubbed several spots on her neck, forehead and the crown of her head, and she responded with strong motions of her head then. [...]

[...] He’s already talked to Andrew Fife and Mary Krebs, and visited the head of the local Blue Cross office, on the floor beneath his own office. [...]

[...] She said that next Tuesday at 1:00 PM one of the heads of placement at the Chemung County Infirmary a block away would be at 330 to interview Jane, with an assistant, and could I please be there too? [...]

[...] Jane sat with her head back, eyes closed, head nodding a little back and forth—an effect often noticed since last break. [...]

[...] Now after our talk Jane sat upright in the rocker, her eyes closed, head back, sitting quietly with her lips moving soundlessly as if experimenting, trying for just the right approach so that the other personality could make entry through her.

[...] But she said her head was clear. [...]

[...] Her eyes closed, and her head began to nod, her lips moving soundlessly. [...]

[...] I know this is silly, but felt scared that if lower part of body was dissolved; and all that was left was chest and shoulder and head region, then I would just fall down; a chest, shoulders, and head on street. Didn’t think I was going to do this; but the image popped into my head. [...]

(Then I was angry because I had been frightened but was still cautious and didn’t want to get in over my head. [...] Feeling of heat in head, shoulders, back of neck, and then cold in same places. [...]

[...] I shook my head, since she seemed to want to go on, and was not talking so fast that I had difficulty keeping up.)

[...] A few minutes later, this is most difficult to describe, I felt a quick definite and physical whoosh outward as if I was suddenly shooting or rushing out through my head, longwise—strong frightening sense of motion and being completely carried away. [...]

[...] Between one normal minute and the next, a fantastic avalanche of radical, new ideas burst into my head with tremendous force, as if my skull were some sort of receiving station, turned up to unbearable volume. [...]

[...] My body sat at the table, my hands furiously scribbling down the words and ideas that flashed through my head. [...]

[...] Rob and I were delighted, but somewhat appalled too, as we looked over the chapter headings I’d listed for the book: “A Do-It-Yourself Séance,” “Telepathy, Fact or Fiction?”, “How to Work the Ouija.”

[...] At the next session—our fourth with Seth—I heard the words in my head at a faster and faster rate, and not only sentences but whole paragraphs before they were spelled out.
