“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The individual would be called ill for thinking the world was against him, but the organization’s similar beliefs would be more unthinkingly accepted because of its sheer size and power in the society.

[...] If I hadn’t corrected him, Seth could have evidently interpreted the whole dream from that viewpoint, that of Mrs. Patterson, and the result would have been just as valid—different, maybe, but I’ll bet with a lot of similarities.” [...]

He still does not have all of the implications of the resolutions, but they will come to him. [...]

[...] She has made no decisions about rebirth yet, but is enjoying her freedom and keeping an eye out for her husband at the same time, thinking how enjoyable it will be for him to be lithe and free again.

[...] For this reason his abilities allow him to see what has been put before him. [...]

[...] If he will reread these sections the necessary changes will occur to him. [...]

[...] I am still working with Ruburt in an attempt to make the sessions more congenial, although necessarily it takes a while for him to become accustomed to our new method of delivery.

What I have been telling you this evening, and my discussions in all our sessions, all my comments, have been concerned with basic and simple facts, not alien to mankind’s nature, but more intimate to him than touch. [...]

[...] Science, if it bothered, might label him a fool, but fundamental religion could label him as evil, or claim his work was inspired by the devil in Christian terms, and so the old beliefs in the Sinful Self or evil self were activated. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) By the time Ruburt left the church, he thought that it had also lost its emotional pull upon him. [...]

[...] It made him more of a rebel. [...]

[...] You did extremely well in helping him with the day’s events. [...]

[...] Those who did not agree with him, he saw as moral enemies. Eventually it seemed to him that he was surrounded by the corrupt, and that any means at his disposal was justified to bring down those who would threaten the presidency or the state.

[...] She also picked up from him the heading of Chapter 8 for Mass Events: “Men, Molecules, Power, and Free Will.” [...]

[...] No matter how much power he achieved, it seemed to him that others had more — other people, other groups, other countries — but their power he saw as evil. [...]

[...] Those who followed him, in the Cabinet and so forth, possessed the same kinds of characteristics to some degree or another.

[...] Though Seth has appeared only once in a physical materialization, Rob has seen him clearly enough to paint a portrait of him that hangs in our living room (see the illustrated section). [...]

[...] It served to introduce the students to Seth, and I will let a few excerpts from it serve the same purpose now, introducing Seth to those readers who have not heard of him:

[...] Our files contain statements from two brothers in California, for example, asserting that Seth correctly described their home and neighborhood while I spoke for him in Elmira, New York, some three thousand miles away. [...]

[...] I would not tolerate Him as a friend. [...]

*Anyhow — after 20 years we heard from him in 1978 — from Alaska — skiing from Alaska Back Country — he mentions Alaska skiing today. [...] Rob joined him and that’s what he was doing when I met him (Rob).

So as I listened to our visitor (I’ll call him Larry) talk, I browsed through the letter. [...]

[...] In fact, I had offered him milk as I went over my predictions … I suddenly remembered something else. [...]

All of that came to mind this morning; not that it couldn’t have just been “coincidence” that later in the day I hear from Ed — after making three predictions that seemed to apply to him. [...]

He does not allow it the freedom that he should or set it to work for him as completely as he could. [...]

[...] So there was a good division set up between his intellectual-respectable-to-him masculine aspects, and his intuitive, feminine, private aspects.

In appearing on television he wore initially the pants suit to stress the masculine aspects, or tailored clothes, each stressing to him the more masculine, intellectual, respectable qualities of his nature. [...]

You gave him quite a lecture, but it was nothing like the lecture he gave himself, and it rearoused old fears of giving in spontaneously to impressions or psychic data. [...]

Tomorrow for example let him without guilt let the day be used to putter in the bedroom, play with poetry, do what comes naturally without a sense of guilt.

(“Okay, I’ll tell him.”)

[...] And Steve didn’t ask Jane if he could see me, so I didn’t hear from him. [...]

His recovery also follows his body’s own unique rhythms, which are as spontaneous as an infant’s. Let him know that his recovery is indeed a fact: he has only to recognize it as so in his mind. [...]

[...] His rather long letter dealt with Dr. Childers’ nightshade diet for arthritis; the writer claimed he had a close friend who had recovered completely from rheumatoid arthritis that had plagued him since childhood, by following this diet—no potatoes, paprika [peppers], tomatoes, and a few other common foods of the nightshade family. [...]

[...] We agreed on the location of the Crimson King red maple in the back yard; Frank is to plant it tomorrow afternoon, and bring the young fellow with him to mow the grass, which is some six inches high. [...]

First of all, a note to Ruburt: tell him not to put off free association in regard to his fear about his body’s performance, but to discuss this as openly as possible with you.

This does also allow you to give him some comfort, and help alleviate any feelings you have of not being able to help enough. [...]

That insecurity has largely prevented him from fully using his own abilities on his own behalf (intently). [...] Fears, however, have prevented him from fully trusting—or consistently trying—such avenues, not only fears, but the batteries of past beliefs, both on his part and yours, with their unfortunate patterns of behavior and conditioned responses. [...]

[...] He could not early accept the idea of having a mission in life outside of the simple one to write, which always propelled him. [...]

Even there you have learned, of course, and Ruburt’s knowledge and yours has helped you both in your health in many ways—but you have not used your abilities in that direction in the same fashion that you have otherwise, and in the newest attempt to help set him free (deeper), I hope to lean you in those directions. [...]

[...] It was to bring the situation out into the open, as indeed the feelings of panic also served to make him consciously aware of the difficulty—a difficulty that basically has to do with psychological motion and growth. [...]

[...] He needed your strength, and when you leave it up to him to act as the so-called tower of strength, you overtax him to some extent.

[...] But then we had never told him these sessions began on a borrowed board. [...]

[...] The inner senses provided him with much, but nevertheless the ideas contained represented an achievement of the conscious mind. [...]

You, Joseph, were necessary, but we had to have this particular sort of intuitive intellect that could also deal expertly with words before we could actually begin; and it took Ruburt a long time to achieve this state because his conscious problems, and family relations and preoccupation with them, held him back.

[...] For a moment the power frightened him, for it sounded like a radio turned up to an incredible degree — louder than thunder. [...] It shocked him because he is used to hearing my words from within his head — he had never before been aware of my voice as existing apart from him. In the dream state he has heard me giving him information. [...]

Through him I am aware of the nature and condition of your world, and offer from my viewpoint comments meant to help you. [...] I exist apart from him, as he exists apart from me, yet we are together a part of the same entity — and that simply carries the idea of the psyche further.

[...] He would have to alter his native focus and turn it in a direction that was foreign to him. [...]

[...] Not that I could repeat him now, word for word….”

[...] Marian told him about the session. Jimmy then wondered aloud if Seth could tell him about “anything significant” that was going to happen to him within the next six months. [...]

[...] Both Jane and I thought this a good description of the little plastic viewer and the transparencies my brother brought with him to show us. [...]

[...] Either this is a reference to two, above, or possibly to the fact that my brother brought transparencies with him to show Jane and me. [...]

[...] As stated the object is related to transparencies, in that Doug’s father Loren brought his camera and transparencies with him. [...]

[...] Nevertheless, I still maintain that it becomes imperative for him to live alone, or the condition will continue. [...] This is by no means meant to alarm, but to help him evade such a difficulty.

[...] It is not to be explained by saying that one man sees a given object differently than another because of a particular mood that may assail him.

[...] Since we have here this evening such an elegant and welcome guest, let us then perceive him in terms of a slight discussion of matter, in which he shall be our guinea pig.

[...] Willy behaved in quite a scary fashion, looking all about him.

[...] He sees himself at such times in an inferior physical situation, so that it seems to him that physically “he is not a good specimen,” but obviously flawed. So it seems to him that he does not see people because he is ashamed of his physical condition.

[...] Any new such experiences give him not only new confidence, but allow for a give-and-take with other portions of the self, which will be quite aware of the changed status, so all of that is important.

[...] A feeling of peace filled him as he enjoyed the evening, and he forgot his physical problems. [...]

[...] His consciousness left his body only after he was in the throes of what seemed to him to be inspiration of almost unbearable intensity. Had his habits instead led him, say, to regular prayer, then that framework could also have been used. [...]

To the extent that he is true to his own vision, possibilities of expansion are available to him that he could hardly have achieved otherwise. [...]

[...] The energy has been directed, and the individual has had enough time to realize that the accepted frameworks and answers make little sense to him.

The going-ahead involved him (long pause) with my ideas of the god concept. [...]

The fact is, he sees although no one taught him how to see. And the part of himself that did teach him to see still guides his movements, still moves the muscles of his eyes, still becomes conscious despite him when he sleeps, still breathes for him without thanks, without recognition, and still carries on his task of transforming energy from an inner reality to an outer camouflage.

If man does not know who breathes within him, and if man does not know who dreams within him, it is not because there is one who acts in the physical world and one completely separate who dreams and breathes. [...]

[...] He looks for gods, anything at all, to explain perfectly natural functions that belong to him. This beautifully absolves him in his own eyes from all responsibility, but it does not. [...]

[...] But does this help him in his dilemma? [...]

(11:12.) I gave him helpful information, but this could only be used by him as he felt it for himself and traveled through his own system of beliefs. [...]

[...] He became especially beautiful, Jane told me; when she stroked him his fur felt marvelously smooth and alive. [...]

[...] I will use him here as an example to some extent, to show how a bridge belief appeared to assimilate what seemed to be diametrically opposed ideas. [...]

With the initiation of psychic experience, he found himself wanting to write about what happened to him, and to use the material creatively. [...]

You can also be of aid, both of you, as far as your brother Bill is concerned, Joseph, and I suggest that you take steps to speak with him, and if necessary we will hold a session, if the circumstances are correct for our purposes.

[...] He made so many good points that I asked him to write them down for the record. [...]

The inquiring mind of our Jesuit member is indeed refreshing, and the very inquiry does him good. [...]

(It is of interest here to note that in the 134th session Seth also announced that I had painted a likeness of him. [...]
