“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] There is a bitterness picked up from your family, working here. [...]

[...] Perhaps six months involved here. [...]

(Within that deleted information were a few lines I’d like to present here for the record. [...]

3. Seth’s material here reminded me of what Jane had told me last week about her own objectified perception of information; see her quoted notes prefacing the 694th session for May 1.

[...] Yet here I am, writing my third book of nonfiction.

Here are a few quotes from that manuscript:

I’d also like to mention here that I believe psychic ability itself is an outcropping or extension of creative abilities, inherent in each of us, and therefore normal rather than supranormal. [...]

Here are a few examples. [...]

[...] “Boy, if it’s still here, I’ve had it,” I thought. [...]

[...] In all cases, it is the intangible element [aggressiveness, here] that is the problem, and not the person against whom the individual may want to vent it.

[...] Here’s what Seth has to say: “You think that you are conscious only when you are awake. [...]

Seth is not saying here that the Crucifixion was “just a dream.” [...]

[...] And again, it is a story, and though I have never used this term before, in class or in our sessions, and though I do not want our friend over here in the elegant outfit to become angry with me (to Sue), I will tell you that reincarnation, in its own way, is also a parable. [...]

Here for the moment we finish with the immediate personal subconscious.

[...] But no information may be gathered here that was unknown to the particular previous personality as a rule. [...]

[...] It is his inner ego which is intuitional and gives his critical ego the material from which his books are written; and I expect naturally that his ego, and yours, will critically appraise what we have done here, what we will do, and beyond doubt any suggestions to you that I might make. [...]

[...] Here was Eleanor again, saying, “Save me Bed,” and even speaking of Dialogues while in no position to accept them. Here again, more strongly, were hints that Eleanor could do more than Prentice.

Immediately the plans for the last trip here were made. [...]

[...] Without going into Seth’s ideas that time is simultaneous, or that any endeavor is creative, the kinds of origins I’m discussing here wouldn’t have any beginning or end. [...]

[...] I’ve slightly rearranged excerpts from that session for presentation here:)

[...] No matter whether it’s natural or not …” Rather reluctantly, she agreed to let me present that personal material here; but only, I think, because she understood my desire to give what I consider to be pertinent background material for the Seth books. [...]

(Here’s a summary of the free association material we discussed on Sunday afternoon, April 29:

[...] It can serve well as a basis for self-hypnosis, but I also plan to help my wife here, and we can see what we can accomplish in the afternoons.

To a certain extent, I must travel from those realities into your comprehension, wrest myself free in order to form an ever-changing, ever-moving, ever-on-the-move entity that can speak here and be there at the same time. [...]

[...] Here are her opening lines from the first essay, “Poetry and the Magical Approach to Life”:

[...] I mean to make clear here that regardless of any complications that may seem only too apparent to you, in the production and distribution of my last book, and Ruburt’s, Mass Events—the benefits far outweigh any disadvantages. [...]

[...] In all cases, however, therapeutic benefits “pile up” at other levels, so on occasion only one small trigger here may then release or make effective the very therapeutic benefits that have not shown themselves in practical terms to that point (intently). [...]

[...] [She told Jane she’s had five operations herself.] Jane got so that when Eleanor was here she was constantly saying “no, no, no” to herself as the nurse talked, in order to protect herself from that steady barrage.

[...] I’m of the opinion that her thyroid status is closely involved here.

[...] There is no condition that love cannot provide—and I mean here love of self and so forth, as well as love of another person. [...]

[...] I would like to deviate from the session notes here, and comment that sometimes typing this material several days after it’s been given isn’t easy: One’s ideas change, to such a degree even that opinions and feelings of even a few days ago can seem mightily out of place. [...]

[...] Health as a means to excellent performance in fields that are important to him; health as a means to use those abilities with which he has been honored; health as a means to bring joy to himself and hence to others; health as a source of strength that is available always to help him use those abilities and to fulfill his destiny here, now...

[...] They seeped down into the personal subconscious layer, causing blockages here that prevented even deeper areas of the self (pause) from giving necessary help.

[...] Do you follow me here?

[...] (Pause.) There is more here that I am trying to get at. [...]

[...] Few would agree, however, that you can learn more about the nature of the universe by examining your own creativity than you can by examining the world through instruments — and here is exquisite irony, for you create the instruments of creativity, even while at the same time you often spout theories that deny to man all but the most mechanical of reactions.

I want to be very careful here, for I am speaking of natural interplay among the animals. [...]

[...] The weather has also a connection here, and your moods are affected by both. [...]

One point should be made here. [...]

(I should note here that SN was evidently born in 1883, and that WJ died in 1910—which leaves a period of some 27 years during which their physical lives overlapped. So either Seth is in error here, or his words carry a symbolic meaning. [...]

[...] I am (underlined) generalizing here to make a point: a largely postcard land, in which social clichés pass for communication, in which social ceremonies take the place of private communications—a land in which beliefs must be like landmarks, unchanging, utterly dependable, always there to be used for touchstones lest the puritanical Protestant stray from worthy goals. [...]

(“The only thing I might have asked,” I said, after having had a few moments to think it over, “was why I would choose to pick on myself here.” [...]

[...] Here’s a copy of the notes she wrote for me:

Ruburt’s almost instant reaction following the G.I. notice was, here, excellent. [...]

There is much leeway here. [...]

[...] You could have made a much less painful transition between complete commercialism and painting than you did, but here at a crucial moment was starry-eyed Ruburt, with his ideas of the poverty-stricken artist; and you can carry on from there.
