“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Either way, here’s what she wrote down:

[...] I can’t describe Jane’s reactions too well from the observer’s viewpoint, except to approximate them here. [...]

[...] Jane has withdrawn Emir from consideration at Prentice-Hall, and in back of that decision lies a story too complicated to recite in detail here. [...]

Now (humorously), I am here, more or less in a recording or in the original, whenever you want me—but I do want to reassure you both that you are indeed doing well.

[...] Here are the notes for the session itself:

[...] Even when I did find the poem I became sad, then frightened, then more hopeful as I read it, and I knew at once that I’d have to insert it here in Dreams. For Jane had been depressed when she wrote her poem. [...]

[...] In order to save space here, however, in each stanza I’m “running together” her characteristically short lines, separating them with the diagonals, or virgules, that are standard in this kind of presentation:

Sometimes there is / no reply at all, as if /
my voice itself / turns into mist / or is lost in /
the waves pounding / until it seems / I am indeed /
abandoned, / separated from / some forgotten self /
who has gone elsewhere / without me, / so that the gulf /
between us / is so distant / that messages sent back /
and forth / now take so long / to reach me /
that only future / generations / of myself /
would be here to / catch their meaning.

[...] Here are some examples that should be quite familiar to many people. [...]

[...] You want to keep your beliefs yet change your reality—I am not referring to you personally here now—but this is impossible.

[...] Here is an account from his own notes:

Here, we took a break. [...]

[...] As I sit here writing these notes, I feel it nibbling away — a bit in my back, on my cheeks and mouth, in my torso. [...]

[...] As Seth has already indicated, there is a wealth of information here waiting to be acquired. [...]

The times and names and dates are not nearly as important as the experiences, and they are too numerous to list here. [...]

Perhaps you will see an analogy here when you compare the situation with age regression under hypnosis. [...]

I have just interpreted for Joseph a dream of his, in which he was able to express emotions of a rather profound nature, and I want to stress here that you are above all an expressive (underlined) species.

[...] I will use my own definition of a cult here, saying that a cult exists whenever a group forms a closed, emotionally charged mental environment in which the foundations of individuality are systematically and purposefully undermined.

We have mentioned reincarnation hardly at all (but see the 631st session in Chapter Seven), yet here let me state that the theory is a conscious-mind interpretation in linear terms. [...]

[...] We return once more to that moment of reflection, for it is here that both causes and effects first appear. [...]

[...] The Catholic idea of penance was mixed in here. [...]

(Here is the session for May 18, 1984:)

[...] I am hinting here of connections with astrology, though certainly not with the astrology currently known.

[...] That is not a particularly important point, but given here simply to give you an idea of other issues that operate, having to do with a personality’s natural leanings toward certain seasonal conditions.

[...] In fact, material on Three Mile Island developed in the session this afternoon—which is the main reason we decided to give these excerpts here.

In the terms in which I am speaking here and tonight, it is a delusion to believe that you should be other than you are in any important manners. [...]

(“Why were animals here on earth for so long before man?”)

[...] Now here are the insights I picked up starting at 11:20 this morning, as I went about daily business:

[...] (With some ironic humor:) I am laying it on here. [...]

The service station is significant on many levels, being used here as a particularly American symbol of the mechanical age, and also one that refers to a pursuit that is utilitarian and also provides service (as Jane said this morning): You deal directly with the public. [...]

If those abilities did lie in other directions, he would have felt strong impulses to hold sessions on the behalf of others, and would long ago have taken that course, so here again there are misunderstandings. [...]

[...] I am not speaking of stance here, but of those invisible relationships mentioned earlier, for he felt earlier as if he were literally a self divided, so that one part shouted discipline, and one shouted spontaneity. [...]

[...] I will go into the other material at our next session, because I want to emphasize a few points here. [...]

[...] I give this information here because it crops up in the session tonight.

[...] I am speaking here of you both. [...]

[...] I know that she is very upset by the time element involved here, and now I’m not at all sure that I know what I’m doing on the project any more. [...]

[...] I am not going into the physical reasons here, but this will be most beneficial. [...]

[...] You have been brought up to accept that as a criteria for existence and yet each of you instinctively knows that you are far more than this, and those of you here realize it quite well and so you are driven to other than physical means. [...]

[...] You are not to come here each week simply to listen to my deathless prose, for it is not deathless you know, and Ruburt wonders if it is prose. [...]
