“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now you used the energy that your classmate (Eleanor) was sending you for other overall purposes. While you did not want to hear, her energy could not force you to hear. Indeed, you would automatically put up a defense, because you considered not hearing to be important to your survival. The exercise that I just suggested to you will, if followed, now, help you open up sufficiently so that energy sent to you can be utilized for that specific difficulty. But while you refused to hear, you would consider energy sent to you particularly to make you hear also a threat to your survival, and would be determined to block it. You must realize that your survival depends upon enjoying all of your senses fully. Reading the session alone should help you realize that.

Now. You were disappointed, then, shortly after you made your move, and you began to retreat. Whether or not you are consciously aware of this, in your earlier life, when you became extremely nervous or upset or had a bad problem, you began to “shut down” stimuli. You did not hear as well. When you wanted to retreat from the world, you shut down on your hearing so that you were not distracted. The habit simply persisted, and you grasped upon it as the situation continued. Now. Because of some circumstances and conflicts with your husband in this life in the past, you did not want to hear what he had to say. You were finished listening to him, and therefore with him, particularly, you began to have trouble hearing.

There are several things that I will ask you to do. First, however, you must begin to love sound. You must not concentrate thinking: “I cannot hear.” “What is there to hear?” “What are they saying?” “How bad is my hearing today?” You must instead sensually enjoy those sounds that come to you, and even imagine sounds when you are alone. Now this will automatically set your inner self toward the anticipation of further sound. You must take at least an hour a day during which you do not think of loss of hearing, and I will give you some hints as to how to do this.

Regardless of your farm, you, in your own mind, feel “scattered”—that you are not doing enough in other directions, and you are not sure what those directions are. You feel blocked. You are doing two things with the ears, of course. You are telling yourself that you want to hear. The other part of you is saying: “I do not want to hear!” “I do not want to hear what you have to say.” You are, therefore, sending contradictory messages. This accounts for the decrease in hearing.

[...] You can hear me, and I will see to it that you do. [...] You need not imagine that you are hearing clearly. [...] When you try too hard to hear or see, you hear and see less. [...]

[...] It is only for you now to see and to hear. [...] You must relax and trust the inner self to see and to hear. [...]

[...] You know that it is, but you must think of what noise represents to you, and what it is that you do not want to hear, and why at this particular time you do not want to hear it. [...]

(To Juanita.) And I hope I scared you enough so that you will hear and see. [...]

[...] You simply forget how to hear properly, following your belief. All of the minute manipulations necessary to hearing are unconsciously repressed. [...]

[...] They can increase or diminish your hearing, or any sense function.

If, for example, you believe that after a certain time of life hearing will fade, then so it will. [...]

[...] Parallel with the belief that vision will fail, you may have the before-mentioned belief that hearing will dim, and these two ideas may be reinforced by a belief that age automatically makes you less a person, turning you into an individual who can no longer relate in the daily pattern of environment. [...]

I will ring my bell and awaken our friend and if you can hear it, then I can hear it and I will return if you promise to give Ruburt no more rumolade in candies. [...]

I have spoken to our Lady of Florence over there on several occasions, in the dream state, since she will not hear me any other way. [...]

Now you hear the words, but I am behind the words and highly creative activities must go on on both our parts, so that my thoughts can be translated into words that will make meaning and sense to you. [...]

[...] I speak to you all individually and individually you all know me, so while you all hear the same words individually they mean something different to each of you. [...]

[...] The elite did not hear those voices. [...] They learned techniques, but the techniques did not bring them magic, did not allow them to really hear and understand the voice of one leaf.

[...] Hear, again, because several of you liked those sounds so well, the insects creeping across the forests of Europe and Africa. But hear also the voices of acknowledgment of your living cells as they grope and grow in the sacred continents of your own physical beings. [...]

[...] In that moment can you hear the insects sweeping across the continents and the voices of the leaves speak, and feel their echoes in your blood — and that blood lives, beyond the time. [...]

[...] The rocks cannot speak words that you hear, and you do not listen when your cells speak to you, and so I speak humbly for them, and translate for you the archaeology of your own being.

(She’s also developed a strange hearing problem in recent weeks. In recent days I’ve finally realized that she often doesn’t hear me speak in an average voice—especially so when she isn’t looking at me. At first I thought the dry air in the house during the winter was responsible, since for a while I thought I was having trouble hearing her—but this doesn’t seem to really apply. [...] Jane cut out much of her dosage—and all of the Bufferin—and her hearing cleared up within a day or so. And for some reason, I can hear her better, too.

[...] And when you hear me speak, it is not only my vitality that you hear, but it is also your own vitality—for I am also a part of All That Is—and if I am ancient and new, so are you ancient and new. [...]

And then when you hear my voice, you hear your own. [...]

[...] And when you sleep, your vitality will still ring as my voice rings, though you may not hear the peal. [...]

Now the fetus also hears, and the same thing applies here while within the womb. He hears sounds from the physical environment, but also sounds within the available range of reality that you do not accept. When the infant is born, he still hears these sounds and voices, but again, they do not answer his physical needs, nor bring milk when he cries, and gradually he discards them.

[...] Nice to hear from you.”)

You will be hearing from me for some time. [...]

[...] However, it is no coincidence that you should hear me speak and that we have been drawn together. [...]

[...] You cannot afford to play overlong—to hide yourself in trivia—to become so busy that you cannot hear the truth that shouts within you. [...]

(10:12.) Now: Ruburt’s hearing is not impeded (long pause), meaning that he is not losing his hearing. That condition was also related to the telephone one, adding the extra difficulty of clearly hearing a television—or rather radio—program, and the hearing difficulty was aggravated along with the hands. [...]

[...] She said she’d have a session, after I explained that I was interested in Seth giving some information on her hearing, swollen feet, and what seemed to be some reactions she was having to our use of the DMSO. [...]

[...] I reminded her of the stories one hears about the chronically ill, who run from doctor to doctor with no intention of getting well, because their illness serves purposes in the present. [...]

[...] When he sold Avon he was hearing the questions that his own work would later try to answer. [...]

You hear, and you do not hear, and yet your inner selves listen and they hear. [...]

[...] She’s still on Darvoset and aspirin, and the two drugs are beginning to affect her hearing. I’ve noticed for the last week or so that she’s getting hard of hearing again — I have to speak louder, turn up the TV, and so forth.

[...] I read the session to her, and once again had to speak louder for her to hear me. [...]

[...] It is not easy, dear Stephen, at your age, nor indeed at any age, to hear words that you do not particularly want to hear.

[...] I could instead have told you what you wanted to hear. [...]

[...] I really have enjoyed hearing you, Seth, I think you are a real cool head.”)

I am indeed pleased to hear that I am a cool head.

(Jane had been much surprised at hearing her voice, as Seth, as it was taped Monday, July 19, for Dr. Instream. [...]

This will pass, but it is all to the good that he was able to hear the voice. [...]

[...] Have him imagine himself reading a session, or hearing you exclaim over how well he has read one. [...]

[...] And I couldn’t see her doing that, especially if often she never even sees the typed session, but hears me read it to her. [...]

[...] I mean by this that although the eyes are for seeing, the ears for hearing and so forth, the potentials of the physical body include the capacity to hear, for example, through any given portion of the bodily expanse.

You may see an automobile for example with your eyes, and hear its sound through your ears, but it is also within the human capacity, ideally speaking, to hear the sight of the car, and to see the sound of the car. [...]

[...] The therapist should make it clear that he understands that the client is not lying, in ordinary terms, when he reports hearing voices from the devil.

[...] The individual — convinced he or she is being pursued by some secretive organization — again, may hear the sirens on a very real police car. [...]

[...] I just wanted Jane to hear from you tonight so she can get an idea of what’s going on.)

[...] It was good to hear from you.”)

(“Will we hear from you, usually, each session?”)

(She said she remembered none of the material until “he” asked if we wanted to hear from Seth. [...]

[...] Listen where you hear nothing, and you will hear much that will amaze you. [...]

And through my voice you hear a very small echo of All That Is. [...]
