“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It is the inner self, termed here the inner ego, that organizes, initiates, projects, controls the EE units of which we have been speaking lately, transforming energy into objects, into matter.

Write down here D A R... [...]

[...] (Emphatic.) Do you follow me here?

There are many matters here very difficult to express in words, for you are so afraid for your sense of identity that you resist the idea that the soul, for example, is an open spiritual system, a powerhouse of creativity that shoots out in all directions — and yet this is indeed the case.

(10:02.) For now, here is one quite effective but simple exercise. [...]

[...] I had no doubts that Seth could speak all night; the only limitations here were our own. [...]

[...] Most people settle for following authority—particularly in the professional aspects of their lives, the community affiliations, and so forth, while here and there insisting upon a kind of private creativity that does not threaten the larger beliefs of the structure.

Your friend—Professor “Crazies”—thought himself on the one hand very avant-garde to come here, and on the other he felt the need to protect himself, to maintain the stance of a professor. [...]

Again, that library material fits in excellently here. [...]

One aside here: while I am myself as you know me, I am also the other personality that sometimes speaks. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The fox is a strong connection here. [...]

(“Any connection here with the Edwards affair?”)

Now give us a moment here. [...]

Be reminded here that they are not concerned with moments in your terms. [...]

(Meaning the proposed visit here of Tam Mossman and Ray Van Over next Thursday.)

2. To consider: my feelings that people come here to see Seth, rather than me. [...]

[...] Vast differences of magnetic vibrations are concerned here, and projecting it will be difficult for you to maintain the steadiness necessary to hold to the necessary vibrations to which others, inhabitants of the systems, will be more or less automatically attuned. [...]

(The following two episodes are included here because they are dealt with by Seth in the next session, the 43rd.)

[...] Social organizations, clubs, and other frameworks of course to some extent apply here, and supply for many people frameworks in which certain relationships can be encountered that are specific—limited in some ways, perhaps, to certain specific interests, and yet they give a sense of belonging.

[...] Partially it was the belief that women were more vulnerable, and the social conditions—Darwinian and Freudian concepts—that led him to accept that position, and all the material I have given fits in here. [...]

[...] The television program you saw about monasteries and privacy to some extent applies here, for in the hurly-burly of medieval life there was no privacy for thought.

[...] Some of those experiences led you both to desire a certain privacy while remaining in the midst of a community, and here again Ruburt’s condition came into service, giving you a built-in reason for not going out into the world.

The dilemma was, here now, between truth—a literal translation of ancient records—or a creative approach which could lead to falsification, so he was highly suspicious of the creativity in himself. [...]

Now when you met Ruburt, and I will give you connecting points here, you recognized the strong creative abilities, and appreciated them, encouraged them. [...]

[...] Some other personal information that I gave you concerning your relationship with your father this time also fits in here.

Here Nebene within you rushed to your aid. [...]

[...] I have always been here in your terms as you have always been in other places and other times, and there is a great familiarity and wonder on our part that you are still involved in these endeavors which were begun in your terms so many centuries ago, and in ways that you cannot now presently comprehend. [...] There are cities that we have built that you have helped us build; there are wonders here, wonders in your own reality that we helped build in other sizes in your time. We have been here many times, and you have been where we are.

Now we are leading here into some personal and yet generally applied material.

We are speaking of course here of the ordinary physical environment. [...]

I hope you can follow me here. [...]

[...] Here various problems set for the entity are worked out, problems that either are too minor to be handled by a primary self on your plane, or problems that for one reason or another could simply not be solved by physical constructions.

[...] Here you see the self truly spills over, not only into what you would call notself, but into areas with which the conscious self is barely familiar. [...]

I would like to make a few points here in connection with the letter which you recently received from Dr. Instream.

We are dealing here with something rather unusual, in that we are attempting to permit two personalities to exist side by side, so to speak. [...]

(Here Seth refers to Bill and Peggy Gallagher, who have witnessed several sessions. [...]

Ruburt feels to some extent that there is a lack here.

[...] We would merely like to note here the appearance of an article in the New York Times for December 5,1965. [...]

[...] A drawing on the back doesn’t apply here. [...]

[...] Much of this is indeed personal, but is involved here. [...]

[...] Then we saw that it referred to a visit Jane and I made to visit Bill in Rochester last summer, for here “summer scene, and water” enters in. [...]

I have added here the addition of water to air, yet they are composed of the same elements. [...]

[...] There is so much to be said here, and you have so much to learn that sometimes I have to admit that I’m appalled.

[...] The camouflage here however in the matter of a statue is too much like a prison. [...]

[...] It was here that Jane, remarking about her fat hands, worked her ring back on. [...]

[...] On some other planes the mental enzymes are unnecessary, since the personality on a conscious level can work such transformations; and here again we run into an apparent contradiction, because while these transformations occur consciously on certain levels it is also true that the personalities concerned do not have to be conscious of the transformations. [...]

(Here a surprising thing happened. [...]

[...] Bits of it appear here and there, scattered, distorted and misleading. [...]

(Here Jane paused. [...]

[...] Here are those promised, very revealing passages. I presented their beginning in the notes for Session 931, in Chapter 9 of Dreams. I repeat that material here but add considerably more to it. [...]

[...] We decided to outline our story here instead, and to carry it through the hospital experience, since that was its logical outcome. [...]

[...] Here was no gentle lulling silence, for the absence of sound frightened me beyond anything I could remember. [...]

[...] There was more than a little irony and humor connected with my efforts here, though, for no sooner had I sealed the second letter than there was a knock on the front door of the hill house. [...]

I am doing two things here — but you can also have the material on any picture separately if you choose to.

[...] While he followed the framework, nothing could swerve him from it, and here (touching the photo) in this child’s picture, you already have the unswerving nature, the great spontaneity, looking for a structure that will allow it growth, and yet give the illusion of safety.

[...] The child here was convinced that statues of Christ moved. [...]

(Intently:) Ruburt here chose the writing structure, and has stuck to it as unswervingly as he once stuck to the church, yet always seeking a new framework. [...]

[...] The dream was quite long and involved but I can describe here only one small portion. [...]

[...] Not sure here, but that I hadn’t outgrown old religious beliefs and training or come to terms with my own energy or abilities.)
