“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Without getting involved in contradictions, have him remind himself that the entire process can be easy, and relatively effortless, and will be more so as his faith grows.

[...] The development of Ruburt’s abilities would, therefore, lead him away from comforting structures while he searched for others to sustain him …

[...] We’re no longer into that activity for a number of reasons; yet when the host for a Miami, Florida, radio show called Jane early this morning [September 30] about the possibility of a taped interview, she impulsively suggested to that rather startled individual that the tape be made then — and so for half an hour she exchanged with him a free, unrehearsed dialogue about her work for later airing.

[...] He has been studying the nature of his consciousness — using it as if it were apart from the rest of nature, and therefore seeing nature and the world in a particular light.⁶ That light has finally made him feel isolated, alone, and to some extent relatively powerless (intently).

10. This material immediately reminded me that before the session tonight Jane and I had discussed Seth’s promise to answer the two questions I’d posed for him before sessions 698–99, in Volume 1. The question of interest here (I summarized them both in the notes following the 699th session) had to do with my inability to comprehend an “unconscious” species state. [...]

The power of the water put each individual in touch with intimate recognition of his dependence upon nature, and made him question values taken for granted too long. Such a crisis automatically forces each person to examine values, to make instant choices that will provide him with recognitions to which he had been blind earlier.

[...] (Pause.) The more “civilized” man becomes, the more his social structures and practices separate him from intimate relationship with nature — and the more natural catastrophes there will be, because underneath he senses his great need for identification with nature; he will himself conjure it into earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods, so that he can once again feel not only their energy but his own.

([Theodore:] “If I have a thought some person has wronged me in some way, and I would like to slug him, am I doing that person harm in this reality or in another, and if so, how do I handle this responsibility?”)

[...] You are the one who will feel the pain in the guts in that case, and not him. [...]

[...] Then you can meet the same individual four years later when the situation is forgotten and react violently and hurt him, where harmlessly the feeling automatically and spontaneously would have been expressed. [...]

He knew there were many different ways of experiencing even the physical world, and so he rejected all concepts that told him otherwise. The very belief allowed him to use those abilities, and as muscles became more resilient with use, so do psychic and intuitive powers.

(“Right now I feel a BIG SETH around,” she smiled, “and I’m trying to get him down to session size. [...]

[...] He should indeed give himself suggestions that the necessary insights will come to him, and that the proper connections be made whether consciously or unconsciously. [...]

[...] Ruburt was not taught to love himself as a child, and thought of his talents as a way of justifying his existence — an existence of somewhat suspicious nature, he felt, since his mother told him often that he was responsible for her own poor health.

[...] It is (underlined) an excellent idea for him to write down any and all improvements he notes in each day. [...]

You can help by reminding him that there is no reason to be fearful in that regard. [...]

[...] Have him remember to relax the jaw.

(“I’m still trying to contact him consciously. [...]

[...] And you may tell Ruburt for me, Joseph (smile), that I thank him ... [...]

[...] Tell him that I shall see to it that he learns what he wants to know. [...]

(I’d just finished typing the last few pages for Monday night’s session, and I asked Jane what she thought of my final note: I’d speculated about any reincarnational connections that might tie her abilities to speak for Seth, without help of any modern kind, to the abilities ancient man had displayed, when, according to Seth, he’d been able to carry all of his history with him mentally. [...]

Ruburt translates what I give him without being consciously aware of receiving the material in usual terms, or of translating it. [...]

[...] I told Jane that I was somewhat surprised to hear from him so quickly, and by his evident interest.

[...] Have him tell you his fantasy today of the motel, and his thoughts about it. [...]

[...] To the child a parent seems like God and, therefore, a child feels guilty, feels afraid that the parent will cast him out, particularly the mother, so the child then feels he will be completely abandoned. [...]

Now, our educated friend over here knows full well and better than any of you that the table is made of atoms and molecules, but it does not forbid him from using the table very nicely as a prop, and so you can still use the prop with which you are familiar, but you must realize that is all they are. [...]

[...] “I don’t want to give him a break yet,” he added — the “him” stemming from Jane’s male entity name, Ruburt. [...]

[...] I didn’t know if he would bother her under the new circumstances, so I got up to put him in another room. [...]

As I told you, Seth as you know him will continue in the sessions. [...]

[...] Today Tam Mossman confirmed that Eve does ride to work at Prentice-Hall with a woman fitting Seth’s description, including the age given; he said eve would ride with him on the specified days in order to alter the probabilities.

Nor are the memories and emotions of an individual ever taken from him. [...]

[...] He has felt guilty over the thought of taking any space from you, and the guilt made him feel resentful.

Incidentally, I share Ruburt’s annoyance with your fat neighbor across the way, and I will tell you some tales about him before I am finished.

[...] These would enable him to enlarge upon his scope of awareness and activity, but at the same time impediments would be placed so that the web construction would no longer appear either as direct as far as its source is concerned, nor as spontaneous.

[...] Need I say that his corner in your room must be felt by him to be his own.

“There was something very contradictory about the affair: The soldier-self I saw atop the tower was a Roman — whereas, according to the little I know of those times, such a position should have been occupied by a native Jew, who was perhaps a lookout for the city behind him. [...]

[...] First I drew my Roman soldier standing half-visible behind the squared crenelations on top of the tower; then I drew him falling, poised face up against the tower wall.⁶

[...] Or I was the sentry’s enemy, who came up the steps and attacked him. [...]

[...] He’d related the entire affair to her some months ago; his original perceptions had taken place over seven years ago, long before Sue had introduced him to Jane and me in 1973. [...]

He is told the nature of those who participate with him. [...] They are not cardboard actors for him to simply push around at will. [...]

[...] I paid him.

[...] The salesman’s ability of Ruburt’s will serve him well in the children’s classes. [...] I would caution him to be very calm at the gallery during the next two weeks. [...]

[...] The individual uses the energy available to him in these constructions. [...]

[...] To “just” say that Seth’s ideas are true is to limit him and us.... [...]
