“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You hope, you dream, that your lives will be creative... (phrase left out) and that is why you are here. Others are not here. You are here because you want to learn, and understand the various dimensions of your own reality. You sense something of which you have not been told. I will be here again whether or not I speak to you. I am here this evening to tell you that when conditions are to our satisfaction, I will speak to you and answer your questions.

I am here to tell you that your joy [is] not dependent upon your youth, for I am hardly young. I am here to tell you that your joy is not dependent upon your physical body, for I have none. I am here to tell you that your joy is not dependent upon your nervous system or physical form, since I have none. I have what I have always had, the identity that is mine. It is never diminished. It grows and develops.

You can use your intellect and your emotions. One need not block out the others. The ideas in my material will open up your eyes, your inner eyes. You will begin to look at your universe as you have never looked at it before. The camouflage world is beautiful, but more exists that you do not see. Look where you see nothing with your physical eyes, and you shall find (much?) that will amaze you. Listen where you hear nothing, and you will hear much that will amaze you. Now my friend Ruburt may take a break or end the session as he prefers. I myself am delighted to speak to you. I have been here since you entered the room and I shall be here until you leave it. You know more than you realize, and your own inner knowledge will always propel you to find the answers that you seek... On some occasion I will speak in a less weighty manner. I am [restrained] by the vehicle through which I speak. I do indeed give you the blessings that are mine to give.

Though you cannot find me, you know that I am here. Though your own parents seem to disappear before your eyes and vanish into eternity forever, so it seems that all that you are will also disappear. I can assure you that your parents will live. I can assure you that death is another beginning, that when you are dead, you are not silenced. For is this silence? Is this presence that you sense here now within this room, death? I am more alive than many who walk the face of your planet now. More alive than some of your professors and friends, for aliveness is dependent upon the state of your consciousness, dependent upon your awareness, your ability to perceive and to feel.

I am here merely to show you I am here. I am not here to prove anything. I am here because you wish me to be here, and I am a kindly old gentleman. [...] If you were not, I would not be here this evening. [...]

[...] I am here, and because I am here I tell you that your own inner self does continue to exist, and as I teach others now, so shall you also be witnesses of the existence of All That Is. [...]

[...] It is because you want to know that I am here. [...]

Now (in a quieter voice) I am here this evening merely to tell you that I am here. I am not here to do wonders. I am here to tell you that I have survived physical death, and that you have survived physical death time and time again. [...]

I have said this before and I will indeed say it many times again: those of you who come here, come here for a reason. [...]

All of you were meant to come here and your lives have already been changed. [...] Before you came here you wondered. [...]

Subconsciously you all know this, and so you come here; and because you have come here do I speak to you. [...]

My friend here (Rachel) was ready to leave. [...] I could have waited until our friend here was at the front door, and yelled with Ruburt’s lungs to call her back. My keeper here would not permit it, however. [...]

I have been here, as Ruburt knows well, through your class this evening, and he has given me permission, for I would not dare peek into this class unless he told me that I could do so. [...] But Ruburt knew that I would be here before class was over, and I come to you with no great pronouncements. [...] And when you read the material, then indeed you know who it is that has given it, and if you hear a laugh behind the material as you read it, let there be no doubt in your mind that I am here. [...]

[...] I have been here emotionally, hardly hidden in the folds of the curtains. [...] I enjoy sitting here quietly, picking up your thoughts. [...]

We have here in the room unbeknown to all of you a perpetual motion machine (Rachel swinging her leg). This leg here. [...]

Now, (in a quieter voice) I am here this evening merely to tell you that I am here. I am not here to do wonders. I am here to tell you that I have survived physical death, and that you have survived physical death time and time again. [...]

I have said this before, and I will indeed say it many times again: Those of you who come here, come here for a reason.

All of you were meant to come here, and your lives have already been changed. [...] Before you came here you wondered. [...]

Subconsciously you all know this, and so you come here, and because you have come here do I speak to you.

We will have a session some evening for our friend here. (Virginia.) There is no particular benefit to your moving at this time, and the venture of which I have spoken would do best if begun here; and if it is begun here it would spread, but this would be its focal point and the point of overall management. [...]

A small committee is too turned-in upon itself, and you are at least partially involved here. [...] There seems to be a large loan, out already overlong, due, that is somehow involved here also.

[...] There is a public-service issue involved in here, and a way of squaring away old debts. It involves the creative use of money through diversification, and diversity is the key word here.

[...] This evening there are several remarks I want to address to our friends here, and some material that they should find helpful.

You are all here for a reason. You did not come here by chance. [...]

[...] The person you seek is here. He is with you here and has never parted from you. [...]

I come here to renew my acquaintance with one of you (Florence) and to introduce myself to two of you. [...]

[...] (several words lost here [see Rob’s version, p. 12]). [...]

[...] Shall I simply sit here and radiate or shall I speak? [...] I am here this evening to show you that death does not automatically change you into a somber long-faced ghost. I am here to show you that I am myself, and you shall be yourselves. [...]

[...] I am here and I have been here often in your classes. [...]

[...] Now I am here in a fairly undistorted form and you will recognize me and remember me when I come here again, and I will know you. [...]

Now, I have been here listening. [...]

[...] The gulf here is more narrow, or there is an island here. [...]

(It was perhaps our hottest and muggiest night to date here this summer, and Jane was not at her best. [...]

[...] We had to have windows open, and traffic was a problem, as is usual here in the summer. [...]

[...] All I have here are the letters (spelled out) D E L. Someone connected with him has a sister in Spokane. [...]

Now the grass is growing here but it is turning brown. [...] It is ringed in by trees and the historical and psychic connections here are not good, having to do with sacrifices. [...]

My heartiest wishes to all here present. [...]

An A here. [...]

[...] The initials T B are here somewhere connected. [...]

Now it is well and good for me to come here. [...] It is fine and well for me to come here and talk to you, but you are not taking time from your daily activities to develop your own abilities, not to look inward, and you (Theodore) need not be included here. [...]

[...] My vitality is here, and it was not drawn here by long faces nor by sorrow. [...]

[...] But I have been here this evening and I will be here a while longer. [...]

Now if I were coming here for fun, I would indeed enjoy smiles and light and conversation. [...]

[...] “How did you get here?” he asked Fred. [...] “This is difficult to explain briefly, but he came here from Denver, he said, and he has no money, and nowhere to go when he leaves here. [...]

[...] I am speaking through Fred Conyers, who flew all the way here from Denver just to see you and Jane. I have here the Christ Book, as well as another Seth book, The Rules of Love: A Seth Book. [...]

[...] “Tell me, how did you get here? [...] Where are you going when you leave here?”

[...] I came here from Denver, Colorado. I don’t know where I’m going when I leave here. [...]

[...] I am here whether or not I speak, you see, and often I inspire Ruburt, so that when he speaks himself, he speaks for me. [...] I do admit my voice, as it came through here, may not be as melodious. [...] Nevertheless, there is a point here that my friend Ruburt would do well to take to mind. [...]

This one here has come some long way and rides herself rather hard, because I am behind her with the whip. [...] It is not often that we have this one here with us. [...]

I am here most seriously because I am pleased with your interest in the material and because book 1 is here now and completed. [...]

Now, I bid you good evening and welcome here. [...]

My heartiest wishes to all here present. [...]

An A here. [...]

[...] The initials T, B, A, here somewhere connected. [...]

(Voice very slow and slurred all through here and many pauses.)

Now, I have been here all evening, and I shall be here until the door is closed. [...]

Now, I am here to welcome back a certain member of our group who had to leave the group for several reasons—and read me correctly in this particular instance where my friend Ruburt did not read me correctly (addressed to Rachel). [...]

I wanted you to know that I was here; but, more than that, I wanted you to know that you are ready for more information. [...]

We will have journeys here, in class. [...]

[...] I get, Theodore, that anything involving Syracuse would, with you directly up there I guess, be definitely more confining than down here no matter what it looked like ahead of time. [...] And that there are still expansions down here—and that at least one of them could emerge or appear more clearly within a fairly short time now, say ninety days. That its outlines for this would start to make sense and emerge, but thatthere would still be something else here. And that two things would actually emerge from what seems like one thing down here. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Give us time here. [...] The same exercises will help here. [...]

[...] I believe a mole here (Jane touched her right cheek); though it may not be a mole but some facial characteristic here, you see. [...]

[...] I do not know here. [...] We are speaking of the woman’s husband, or father here. [...]

There is some resentment here, a smoldering one. [...] (Pause.) There are also other-life connections that enter in here. [...]

Now we have here, for all of your benefit, some examples, both here (Davey) and here (Mary Ellen) and here (Joel) of one particular phenomena. [...]

Now over here we have great energy, and because I am aware of your conversations, strong power that is being withheld out of caution and fear. [...]

(To Mary Ellen.) Now of the three cases mentioned, the greatest sense of stability and peace has been reached over here. [...]

(To Davey.) Now here we have a too early blooming of abilities before the overall personality was able to handle them, and we also have a great contrast in attitude for we have on one hand the determination to show up all fraud, and on the other hand, the fear underneath that our own experiences could somehow be fraudulent. [...]

There is always an imbalance here that may of itself be termed action. [...] For here it is allowed the freedom of itself. Here you have also the inner vitality that has not been materialized within the realm of material camouflage. [...]

[...] Identities exist within dreams also, and here the same nature of identities applies, as those given earlier. The laws of action also apply here in the dream reality.

[...] A rereading of sessions dealing with the nature of matter will help you here. [...]

There is no separate outside identity or force, such as “force;” the two words here are being used with different meanings. [...]

Our young friend here has many questions. [...]

[...] Not only fire is involved here, however. [...]

Now there is a tendency here emphasized because of youth. [...]

We are getting something here that is not clear: a small instrument used that seems to be the size of a thimble, but with (pause) something that resembles a slide rule on the top. [...]
