“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It was as though the break between sessions didn’t exist for him.

(I meant to quiz him about this tonight, but regretfully never did so. [...]

[...] He walked over to Peg; I picked him up and deposited him in another room. [...]

[...] The lady told Peg and Bill a good deal about the workings of Dr. Rhine’s department; and how, now that he is past 70, the mandatory college retirement age, arrangements have been made for him to continue his work in parapsychology through a foundation which is apparently connected to or with the college.

[...] Seth told Bill that he took his problems with him on vacation, especially the ulcer, and Bill heartily agreed. [...]

[...] Now and then I do indeed look down at him from my painting. [...]

[...] A simple procedure, and one I hope others don’t pick up from him. [...] We ended up in a rather acrimonious conversation in which I hoped I’d alienated him enough so he’d not bother my wife or me.

[...] He’d sent some home-canned jars of fruits and vegetables at Christmas time; for the past year he’d also written a string of long letters signed “me,” meaning I couldn’t answer him to say thanks for the stuff. [...]

(He had lots of energy, which I could sense, but seemed to me to be contradictory in many ways, and I took him up on several points. [...]

Please do lovingly remind him (Jane sneezed) to trust his body and its processes. [...]

[...] Now when you believe that, Joseph, then assure him of your belief. [...] Have him read the sessions on work and spontaneity. [...]

(At break tonight I’d explained to Jane that I still thought the 14th session contained some excellent material on Seth’s awareness of “something resembling time” to him—and that it was “still a reality of some kind” to him. [...]

[...] In the physical flexibility area, however, you are operating in Framework 2 yourself, and so you can be of great help by catching Ruburt when he projects negatively on the one hand, and on the other by leading him toward the more creative habits of thought that are your own about your body.

[...] This session should help him, so that he can begin to mentally minimize impediments, and then they will be minimized.

So in our change of method, have him try as best he can to forget such details. [...]

[...] To some extent you punish him for his past attitudes by not appearing as attractively as you could. You think: “It serves him right! What does he expect?” At the same time, you are afraid that if you do appear as attractively as you can, that you will be hurt again by him, and you are unwilling to take the chance.

[...] Because of previous conflicts, that can be resolved, you did not enjoy having him around all of the time as you supposed that you did. [...] You thought that you would welcome his cooperation and aid, and because, now, of other conflicts with him, in the east, in this life, instead, you resented his help. [...]

[...] You were finished listening to him, and therefore with him, particularly, you began to have trouble hearing.

[...] This confirms your feeling that you dare not display strong emotions with him, and you feel all the more rejected. When you light the candle, you are testing him to see how far he will go with you, and when he makes the fire remark, you take it as a rejection of the entire romantic self, and the romantic situation. [...]

[...] He said we had chosen a poor method of experimentation, if we did not want to contact him, since Jane has been conditioned to respond through him when we sought contact with discarnate entities. [...]

[...] For his own development he chose to make up, because of a past lack of sensitivity, because of a certain exhilaration felt in those days in cruelty, and because in those days his emotions held no sway, but what he considered cold reason led him on. But this reasoning, divorced from emotions led him into his own betrayal.

[...] I cannot make him move about as I would move now. [...]

[...] I am doing very well with him, however, and your two guests are doing very well themselves, considering the circumstances.

[...] He is one rung of the ladder, yet he is also part of the rung above him, and the rung below. Because you cannot put your finger upon him does not mean that he does not exist, and that he has not helped you fulfill yourself, and that he has not helped teach the woman you know as your mother.

[...] Your mother was originally the spark that made him relate at all to physical reality, and that is why he resented her, why he fought her, and why she could not respect him. [...]

[...] (Long pause, eyes closed, head down.) He left for your young brother a sense (smile) of sweetness, an innocent, untouched quality that will always sustain him.

He left for your middle brother (smile) a stubborn persistence that will help him if he uses it correctly. [...]

Ruburt’s body is completely reorienting itself according to his new beliefs, so remind him not to become impatient.

[...] He has made an extraordinary leap, and it is freeing him physically. [...]

[...] You can help most by reminding him of our resolutions when, say, he feels blue—for when he remembers them he does not need the reminder (with amusement)—and simply by reassuring him of his body’s good intent, and in its ability to follow through.

[...] He felt that mail awaited him, that the letter was from his district manager, and that it concerned a raise for him. [...]

[...] Again a snag develops, which may or may not yet appear to him. There is something that holds him back, that he knows but does not realize that he knows.

[...] As you know I make no attempt to regulate Ruburt’s activities, and I should find it highly hilarious to find him in such a position, or positions. [...] This does not mean however that I would go so far as to caution him against it.

His familiarity with our sessions has made it possible for him to become more aware of the constant communication that exists between the inner and the outer selves.

[...] Later his ideas of responsibility told him he should be working—not because he wanted to be working, but because he should be. At the same time those same worldly concerns led him to wonder about the validity of his own “messages”—and how responsible he was to the world for them—so the symptoms also served to give him a greater sense of caution, to temper creativity, for all the reasons stated in the Sinful-Self material. [...]

[...] I’ve wished, often that I’d asked him to elaborate at the time—or at least marked the session so that I could find the remark later. [...]

[...] Those ideas come to him constantly, of course, or those suggestions, through the mail, the expectations of others, or his observation. [...]

Ruburt began to feel a pressure as the books became better known to carry out a kind of responsibility, not simply to sell books, for example, but to get the message out into the world, to help others—all considerations that seemed to be—he thought—the acceptance of adult behavior on his part: actions that would be more or less expected of him. [...]

[...] “Well, I vaguely feel him around,” she finally said at 9:19.

He did pick up our next chapter heading (six): “Genetic Heritage and Reincarnational Predilections,” and I am trying to give him this other material at different levels. [...]

Ruburt’s sense of disorientation is also partially the result of healing processes within his own body, and altering relationships—again, at intimate microscopic levels—which send their new “healing tremors” upward through the various formations of matter, so tell him to enjoy it.

(9:42 P.M. Seth’s references to my facial changes while sleeping touched upon a subject Jane and I had meant to ask him about several times; she’d referred to it again today. [...]

[...] It allowed him to release aggression in a much less violent manner than he would have in the past. It also, however, allowed him to see the picture of his own aggression as it existed on a subconscious level of his mind. [...]

I told him to give up cigarettes a long time ago, but it is his mark of independence that he is not letting any spirit tell him what to do. [...]

[...] It represented, to him, something quite different than the Christian fish you wear around your neck (to Joel). [...]

[...] However, the dream taught him that the violence within himself was not big and threatening and did not need to be feared. [...]

[...] His own interests propel him in this direction, and because of the way in which we are working together, it is advantageous for him to become acquainted with as much knowledge in a number of fields as he is capable of assimilating. [...]

[...] Ruburt is now more refreshed, and when a certain session begins to deplete him I will help him out.

[...] I then told him my name, and he repeated it. After this I believe I asked him to contact me, but this becomes fuzzy and vague. [...]

[...] It is not the material that composes man, that gives him his identity. [...]

[...] Moses and Allah were to fight for him. He could not rid himself of the idea of force, though he had died by force, and nothing could persuade him to accept any kind of peace or contentment, or any rest, until some kind of battle was wrought.

[...] Before I got back inside the apartment our paperboy arrived; by the time I finished paying him Jane was out of trance. [...]

[...] He will see no continuity at all, and feel himself flung without rhyme or reason from one experience to another, never realizing that his own thoughts are propelling him quite literally.

(10:00.) The Arab was a very interesting character, by the way, and to illustrate some of the difficulties involved, I will tell you about him. [...]

[...] We talked to him for at least a couple of hours. [...] Jane gave him our unlisted phone number. [...]

[...] But Jane says she trusts him, and I’m willing to go along with her feelings on the matter.)

[...] He did not like the public aspects that he felt confronted him. [...]

[...] His own abilities, again, kept working through all of the frameworks, however, and none of them could content him.

[...] One man appears to have the advantage, but another will take it from him, and your best interests will lie with this second man. [...]

([John:] “To somewhat save him?”)

(John corroborated much of what Seth had given, and added that he felt that only his own lack of specific knowledge prevented him from corroborating much more of the data. [...]

The man in California remembers you as you remember him, and he will speak of you. [...]

This is responsible for the altered feel of Ruburt’s flesh to him as it becomes softer and more flexible, so that it can stretch with the new mobility. [...]

[...] Tell him to be patient with his own natural impatience —to have a relaxed attitude even about that.

I leave healing energy with him.

[...] This has frightened him. [...]

[...] Have him try walking to the couch, as yesterday, to begin with, but these changes definitely mean that the important alterations in the knees are happening.
