“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now I will let our friend continue with his class, and I welcome those of you who are here for the first time in all of your new revelance. [...]

Now during the week here is a little assignment for you. [...]

[...] You sit here feeling isolated within your skins and for no reason for you, yourselves, enclose yourselves. [...]

[...] But all of you sit here very nicely, very spontaneously, very alive, very conscious and none of you know, egotistically, how you do so or what make your thoughts work. [...]

[...] I’m not writing here about rationalizing the existence of one or more probable selves to account for personal shortcomings in this reality, however, but of simply using the idea to enlarge our basic notions of the human potential. [...]

(Here’s Seth to me in that January session:) You, for example, could have excelled at certain sports, where Ruburt had no such inclinations. [...]

[...] I am using here three only to show you how those primary aspects of your personality operate now in your present condition …

(And here again, Seth in the above paragraph immediately set about answering the questions that came to my mind.)

If Ruburt will permit me one small note here. [...]

(Here Jane laughed.)

The one exception here would be taking down verbatim the words of someone who Ruburt was convinced had superior creative ability or knowledge.

[...] These are excerpts from succeeding impressions as a group, and are given here because Jane thinks the bending over idea here derived from the way the wings of the eagle bend in and down toward each other; they are together, or close, at the base, and in the center of the object.

[...] Bear with me, for some new background material is necessary here. [...]

We are making some simplified statements here to make the idea clear. [...]

[...] Seth refers to three here because Bill Macdonnel was a witness to the session.)

(Both impressions here are valid. [...] The interesting bit of information here is that a deliberate effort was made to spread the blanket on a grassy spot near the picnic tables, so that a softer bed would be furnished.

[...] Our discussion concerning the nature of matter is important here, for I explained the pulsations that occur in atoms. [...]

[...] For various reasons the intervals here, you see, are to some extent recalled.

[...] Jane had one of her images here, seeing mentally two small objects in a space resembling the usual envelopes; she saw no detail however.

[...] There should be no involvement here of any kind.

[...] I am speaking here of something else which we have not yet discussed.

[...] The bottom of the house has been closed for too long, but there is no great difficulty here. [...]

[...] You will find that a very small pond arrangement, of the artificial purchased sort, a basin arrangement where water drips through rocks, behind the glass windows in the rear, here with a very simple grouping of rocks and flowers, would serve you to great benefit: as a place of inner contemplation, in which the inner senses would greatly expand their reach.

Even for example, levitation is involved with camouflage to a large degree, in that the camouflage physical body itself rises, but we are still here using the camouflage physical form. [...] Here you are traveling however through camouflage space. It is very difficult on your level to do without any camouflage, and yet it can be done; and here again the use of psychological time is extremely important, since when psychological time is utilized to its fullest extent, then camouflage becomes lessened to an almost astounding degree.

Even here there are gradations. [...]

(Here, Jane tapped on my desk for emphasis. [...]

[...] There is so much here that I am impatient to tell you, and so little that you can understand now. [...]

[...] In the other sequence you were a woman and our friend over here (Natalie) was a very unfaithful suitor and you believed him implicitly and he left you, as the saying goes, in the lurch. [...] And you are also getting back at our friend over here by coming as a couple to class while she now comes alone. [...]

[...] Maybe I’m alone in my interest here, for even Jane doesn’t express any great curiosity about the time she has invested in the Seth material; she just delivers it. [...] (In Section 3 of this volume, Note 2 for Session 692 contains information on another way by which we can move closer to Seth’s idea of simultaneity from our physical reality, but that method grows out of material not discussed here.)

[...] Yet Jane isn’t particularly turned on by dates, session numbers, information about footnotes, and some of the other material I’ll be discussing here.

[...] Here in “Unknown” Reality the individual excerpt or session in an appendix, with whatever notes it may have, is usually pretty complete in itself. [...]

[...] Originally I hadn’t planned on dealing with such material in these notes, but after talking it over, Jane and I agreed that it should be given here after all. [...]

Here we have a system of belief in which it is wrong to be white, American, or wealthy, or even at all well-off in financial terms. [...] Here, though, wealth and a white skin are not only bad, but obvious symptoms of moral deterioration. [...]

Now: Any intrusion of other beliefs here will be considered threatening. [...]

Here the exotic is romanticized, the foreign held up, the picturesque seen as the real. [...]

[...] In older age, however, no one is interested, and yet it is here, as in adolescence, that the greatest creativity may emerge but go unrecognized. [...]

[...] He knows this, but with your encouragement, active but playful, you can accomplish very much here. [...]

Give us a moment here. [...]

[...] His body is ready to be released, even areas such as the elbows, and dispersion has taken place here. [...]

(About two pages of personal material are deleted here.

(“Let’s take another look at that house up here on the hill,” I said and our car began the long steady climb toward a certain dead-end road … So we looked at the hill house again — if from the outside only — but this time we really looked at it. [...]

[...] Looking down at the town gives the kind of perspective that each of you enjoys — as here (in the apartment house) you look down from the second story.

[...] All in all, I thought she was “recovering” quite easily from Seth’s data, and that she was helped here because we’d revisited the hill house today. [...]

[...] The whole difference here is the quality of nature as it surrounds both places. [...]

[...] There was much here, including some generalized locations and descriptions, that is not recorded. [...]

[...] I believe approximately 55 feet, and some boulders beneath here. [...]

(Note the confusion here with the words cove and cave. [...]

(Here, Jane gestured to show that she meant a long flat level of land under water.)

[...] In the dreaming state, when the ego is released from its idea of time as a series of moments, then other portions of the self can travel through these moment points, and you have here a journey through depths that have nothing to do with your (underline your) concept of time or space.

(Besides the sessions on moment points, see those on the electrical field and on action—too numerous to list here.)

I pick up once more a connection with boxes, but here in this room. [...]

[...] Either he has been given one, or he has purchased one; but there is a connection with a pipe here.

[...] And here we see his translation of this rather natural occurrence into tragic forebodings. [...]

(Here Jane laughed, then took a long pause as she paced about the room. [...]

[...] And that is that there is also a quite valid inner sense of guilt here, in that he has neglected his poetry.

We should have a balance here, and he must allow room for spontaneity. [...]

[...] It went right through here.”

(So, since there was some kind of discrepancy here between what Seth at least considered a possibility, and the fact that Marie had not been giving birth, we naturally wondered what was correct, and hoped the session tonight would deal with it.

The precise interpretation had to do with information in the dream pertaining to the cruise, the tub, here again, being interpreted in terms of a ship. [...]

A note here, pertaining to a different matter. [...]

Our friend back here (Paul W.) could well appear, you see, as a UFO in another aspect of reality, and frighten the inhabitants. [...]

[...] We have to get up and get to work here.’ Would being honest with him at that level have prevented these charges?”)

(Jim H.: “The first night I was here you said, ‘We will see more of you.’ You were quite definitive about it. [...]

Because I knew why you had come here, and I knew your wife would come also. [...]

There was also a rather humorous translation here. [...]

[...] You are hardly in any difficulties here, nor will there be any.

I am speaking again of quite practical connections here, for as energy forms matter, matter and energy are inseparable and objects obtain their character from their owners, and from the circumstances surrounding them.

I wanted to make a note here, that the tape recorder should work very well as Ruburt plans to use it in connection with collecting dream data.

[...] You should know better than to cower when you come here. [...] I am leading up to certain issues here. [...]

[...] The very fact that you are here this evening, the very fact that you are trying as hard as you have been shows that you are indeed developing and that you are indeed learning. There must be an open-minded, an openhearted attitude here. [...]

[...] I am not too clear here, but he hurt you, physically, I believe. [...] The symbolism here is obvious. [...]

[...] You feel that you must be successful or he will punish you, that you must be perfect; therefore you become panic stricken at any sense of failure within you, and you overexaggerate your failings so that you came here tonight to me as if you were two and a half years old. [...] Give me a moment here.

As soon as I realized that Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment was going to be so long that it would require publication in two volumes, I began to think about how I was going to summarize here all of the material that Jane, Seth, and I had contributed to Volume 1. I developed the hilarious notion that if I did the job the way I really wanted to, this introduction would be as long as that first volume is itself! [...]

Second, here’s the closing paragraph of my last note for Volume 1:

I do feel that part of that enrichment involves a worldwide (and possibly universal) healing action, contributed to by each living form—that here on earth, at least, this vital force of our own creation sustains us in an unending grand synthesis of regeneration. [...]
