“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(10:57.) These developments, with others, are already triggering changes in man’s behavior, and inspiring him toward further alterations of consciousness. He now needs a more expansive viewpoint of past and future in order to help him deal with the ramifications of the present as it has evolved through experience.

[...] Then: “It’s as though I feel a lot of concepts around me right now, and I’m letting him get them organized for me … But now I think I’m about ready….”

[...] When in historic terms mankind became aware of memory, and recalled his past as a past in your terms, it was possible for him to confuse past and present. [...]

[...] Had such data instantly appeared before him, however, man would have been deprived of the physical joys, endeavors, and challenges that were so basic to the experiment itself. [...]

[...] The result of the breakup of pattern giving him time to rest and utilize, through constructive habit, what he has learned.

The morning symptoms here represented in concentrated form the vanishing power of the illness that swept him through, the vanishing force of what was an all-day condition at one time. [...]

[...] (In the last session.) They are vanishing, in that they no longer have the power to frighten him in the same way that his physical symptoms had in the past. [...]

Often he wanted you to approach him in intimate terms, but felt unworthy because of his condition, and because he felt that you found it distasteful, and even degrading. [...]

[...] Make whatever suitable necessary adjustments in terms of providing nursing care, but all in all it will work out much better to Ruburt’s advantage, and your own, to get him home, with whatever promptness is achievable. [...]

[...] It hadn’t sounded like him—only her, speaking somewhat haltingly and not too clearly as she lay flat on her back in the hospital mud bed, with her broken right arm held snugly against her ribs and chest by the blue and white canvas sling. [...]

[...] At times I’ve even wondered if I recorded the dream accurately, since in it I didn’t see him having a heart attack, only rubbing his chest area with Margaret helping him, and myself there as only a witness. [...]

[...] He gets chemotherapy tomorrow, so I won’t see him until the next day. [...]

[...] The hints I have given him should clear him up within a matter of several days. [...]

He is receiving larger doses of energy due to the season, and his own natural reactions to it, but he is not acting or reacting with the spontaneity that is natural to him in early springtime. [...]

[...] I want him to do the best he can in that day, to refuse to worry about anything. [...] Instead of Star Trek’s “I will not kill today,” have him substitute “I will not worry today.” [...]

[...] Both of the suggestions that I gave him this evening will be most helpful if followed, for they will allow the physical processes of healing to continue with less strain.

[...] We’d taken him in as a stray kitten some four years ago. I buried him in the garden. [...]

[...] In the 44th session for April 15th, 1964, I find him saying, in part, “Growth in your camouflage [physical] universe involves the taking up of more space. [...]

[...] According to Seth, Emerson is one of the “Speakers” — personalities who, both in the physical state and out of it, speak to man through the ages, reminding him of inner knowledge so that it is never really forgotten. [...]

[...] Some of the songs are given to him when he sleeps. [...] Tell him the same applies to complete health. [...]

The Sumari language itself will help Ruburt by freeing his concepts, and release him from the almost automatic process of translating data into stereotyped English terms. [...]

The morning session involving the songs led him into a new kind of perceptive experience or trance state, in which he has not been before involved, and that will serve most beneficially in this and other areas and developments in the future.

He knows that his particular abilities are very well developed on a subconscious level, and actually fears that they might carry him away. Yet the intuitive qualities have made him a poet, and have always represented a strong and not weak part of his personality. They are actually well balanced in that they are not likely to sweep him off in any one direction willy-nilly, but could allow him a steady progression into various levels of direct experience.

[...] The whole problem lies here, but we are making strides, and we are making them despite some personal temporary setbacks, when Ruburt reads a book that makes him worry about these sessions. [...]

[...] For this small favor I thank him. [...]

[...] But we will progress and as a rule I prefer that Ruburt does not know many of my intentions, as he did not know during the incidents of telepathy with your John-Philip, since I do not want him to set up guards in advance.

[...] At times they overburden him. It was like him to leap from one life into another, with a change of sex.

[...] On the one hand it represented a quite natural subconscious fear that when the father-creator (hyphenated) vanished, his issue would go along with him. [...]

[...] When the infant is born he still hears these sounds and voices, but again they do not meet his physical needs nor bring him milk when he cries, and gradually he discards them, focusing upon that data which best serves his physical purposes.

She was a strong reality to him afterward, in any case, and he wondered if he should have married her instead. [...]

The paragraph he read concerning your enduring love for him this evening struck him deeply. [...]

(Jim Adams visited today with some sample black frames for her reading glasses, and repeated to Jane what I’d quoted him as saying his friend Dr. Werner had said about Jim’s description of Jane’s condition. [...]

[...] It seemed to offer a dependable framework to keep him from going too far in one direction or the other (intently), and was used as a cushion against the other uncertainties in your lives. [...]

All of the issues I have mentioned—love-making, the energy exercises, poetry and so forth—lead toward a therapeutic situation (pause), toward the realization that expression itself is safe, and serve to remind him that creativity’s uncertainty is itself highly creative, providing its own safety within a context of exuberant expression. [...]

The Lord of Righteousness, so called, was such a person, but his over-zealous nature held him back.

[...] The interpretation of scanty records, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, has given rise to debate, but it appears he was either Menahem ben Judah, who was killed in A.D. 66 in Jerusalem, or a nephew, who survived and succeeded him.)

[...] He felt that Christ was a kind of devil who pursued him in his sleep.

[...] Both of us were surprised to hear him declare a connection between Paul and the Zealots. [...]

[...] His wife is anxious for him, and the engagement will give him new impetus that would carry him for several years. [...]

I suggest, if I may then, that Miss Taylor so inform him.

(Long pause at 10:30.) There is another man who could share the program with him, the one mentioned in our earlier session (the 496th), that was thought not available. [...]

The divorce was a distortion (pause), not of memory but of interpretation, representing a psychic separation that occurred between you, not in 1964 but later, when Ruburt became ill—and to some extent (underlined) you did hold him back, as you know from the work with the pendulum that you did. [...]

He will do all right, even if I do rib him now and then.

[...] I had originally suggested the day after his birthday to end his smoking habit, simply because it would be relatively easy for him at that time. [...]

He is stubborn, as we have discovered, you and I, and this stubbornness will also work for him. [...]

He began to take steps that will serve us well in the future, and you will learn when to question him and when to remain silent.

When specific details are mentioned under such circumstances you may gently probe: “Is there more?” or “Do you see more?” or “Are you there?” These are general permissive questions that allow him leeway. [...]

Sitters as a rule are indeed a benefit, in that the emotional impetus causes him to allow me greater freedom. [...]

Ruburt’s students upset him considerably yesterday. [...]

Ruburt was quite instantly aware of his own reaction, and the several hours it took him to regain some sense of confidence. [...]

[...] The resulting release of muscular tension was definitely obvious to him, and reflected not only in the neck or head area, but also in the important knee areas, and traveling to the ankles.

[...] And that is the result of the very releases that for example during his nap so frightened him.

I do not seem to find him at home, and I think of water, and of his walking near the water. (Pause.) In the back, behind his place of residence, and another person with him, I believe a male, though I am not certain of this. [...]

For all my humor concerning the particular communication to Philip, I wanted him to be conscious of hearing me. [...]

The volume in Ruburt’s case was caused by proximity, among other things, and if I set up a small sound very close to him, so that it has an explosive and loud effect; but it was directed in such a manner that it was in a large measure closed off. [...]

(During the 68th session Seth stated that eventually, as Jane’s abilities grow, it should be possible for him to speak to us from different locations in the room, independent of Jane’s position, and that it might also develop that he could speak to us from his own apparition. [...]

For example, the main character in a religious historical drama may or may not consciously be aware of the ways in which such information is given to him. And yet it may seem to him that he does know, for the nature of a dogma’s origin will be explained in terms that this main character can understand. [...]

His was the portion that was to deal with physical reality and manipulation, and so these qualities were strong in him. To some extent they overruled him. [...]

[...] It was given to him to set up a framework. [...]

[...] He was “converted” in an intense personal experience — a fact that was meant to impress upon him the personal and not organizational aspects. [...]

[...] The social weight of other people’s beliefs about him and his impending death, dissolved.

[...] Your thoughts about him to some extent also changed, and telepathically he becomes aware of that alteration.

[...] This was an intuitive breakthrough on your part, and highly encouraged him. [...]

[...] Tell him to stick to it. [...]
