“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] He was even more so when, on his return home, the voice initiated images that gave him the bulk of the book in three-dimensional form. [...] On his own Dick tried unsuccessfully to finish the manuscript. [...]

(The session was witnessed by writer Richard Bach and his editor, Eleanor Friede. [...]

[...] The rest of the session was given over to our guests; Seth’s manner became more jovial and his pace speeded up considerably. [...]

[...] He came across The Seth Material, saw similarities in Jane’s and his experiences, and came here to see if she or Seth could explain the phenomenon. [...]

[...] A man no longer need follow his father’s vocational footsteps. [...] The development of transportation opened up the country, so that an individual was no longer bound to his or her native town or region. [...]

[...] He also discussed such divergent topics as the wide variety of responses that his material generates in correspondents — and not all of those reactions are so favorable, I might add.

[...] And it seemed in the beginning that science delivered, for the world was changed from candlelight to electric light to neon in the flicker of an eye, and a man could travel in hours distances that to his father or grandfather took days on end.

[...] Such situations bothered the individual far more than the threat of nuclear disaster, for they involved his contact with daily life: the products that he bought, the medicines that he took.

[...] If I had all the abilities that you think I have, I would have his typewriter working for him automatically all the time. [...]

[...] His mind does not believe in demons, your unconscious mind does. [...]

[...] The program’s host and his cameraman stayed to film Jane’s ESP class that night. Seth came through during class, as he often does, and was at his jovial — and serious — best. [...]

(I thought it very interesting that Seth had talked about subatomic waves and particles in the last paragraph of his delivery tonight. [...] As noted in the last session, Jane had attempted to read Einstein’s book on his theories of relativity earlier that day. [...]

My first example concerns the development of biofeedback machines in the 1960’s. With one of these devices the individual was to learn to control, when necessary, his or her own blood pressure, or any of certain other involuntary body functions. Doubtlessly such self monitoring is an example of the “loving technology” that Seth mentioned in his final delivery for the last Session; yet we now understand that the early claims for biofeedback were considerably exaggerated. [...]

[...] (Pause, during an intent delivery.) Unless man also identifies himself with the other kinds of life with which he shares the world, no technology will ever help him understand his experience. [...]

Remind Ruburt that the difficulty now connected with his bedsore is temporary. [...] Do his energy exercises again once or twice a day, and the two of you in the morning. [...]

(Very long pause.) You use the hospital experience to press against, Ruburt even more than you because of his position physically, but you are both beginning to understand issues—or rather, you are beginning to accept issues—much more wholeheartedly than you were before, and that acceptance is the key. [...]

[...] I told Jane that the material made me speculate about Joe Bumbalo: He’s had many operations in his life, and has been shot full of drugs often. Could such repeated dosages have anything to do with his having cancer now? [...] He’s losing his hair, I believe.

I am speaking generally here, for remember that your individual beliefs, thoughts, and emotions cause your reality, so no person dies ahead of his or her time. [...]

[...] Laughing, looking younger than his years, he did so. [...]

[...] In his own mind, Ruburt calls these ideas, taken together, “The New Way.”

[...] You correctly interpreted the affair between Ruburt and his mother — an excellent omen, by the way.

(Again at his request, I read back to Seth the sentence he’d just given.)

[...] During his nap, further important release took place, but it was accompanied by uncomfortable sensations with his eyes. [...]

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

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

[...] One is given to reading books, though he does not carry a portable bar in his car.

[...] His father is a musician.

[...] His brother-in-law, who is an industrial engineer for a plywood concern, either is now, or will soon be, in Hawaii for a month.

(John said he did not give his missive to Philadelphia the same interpretation as Seth, when he wrote it; but that Seth’s interpretation could be correct, and therefore the results could very well be as Seth predicts.

Some of this will appear quite clearly later, that is, certainly Ruburt felt (underlined) at times that his mother hated him. When Ruburt fell in love with you, his vigor, strength, and expression rose to the surface. He needed love’s expression on your part, and he spontaneously expressed his own love for you in words and action. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The panic Ruburt senses is of course the feeling that is behind all of his symptoms—and you must remember as we continue that such situations are not unusual in your world. [...]

[...] After his return home, the sinful self was threatened even further, it felt. [...]

[...] The panic has to do with many issues involving Ruburt’s earlier experience, particularly with his mother and the church when he was a very young person, very determined to survive in life, and trying to learn what kinds of behavior added to or threatened that survival. [...]

[...] Yesterday, on two occasions, he was quite surprised, but mildly so, to find strong phlegm in his throat. [...] Now he worked with his pendulum and discovered one reason for the phlegm and the cough when he was speaking to you, having to do with the fact that his own writing hours were not done. [...] Instead, you see, yesterday on two occasions he picked up the fact of his father-in-law’s illness, the phlegm in the father-in-law’s lungs and eschewing heart difficulties. [...]

Sending energy in his direction will help but he is doing very well on his own. [...]

[...] After his death, the second wife went to California to live with the stepson and his family, a fact that further upset Malba.

(And in the next (nineteenth) session on January 17, 1964, Seth did carry his discussion on the inner sense further, and he gave us additional clues as to how we could use them. As you’ll see, we were shortly to put his methods to work. [...]

This sense would permit our man to feel the basic sensations felt by the tree, so that instead of looking at it, his consciousness would expand to contain the experience of what it is to be a tree. According to his proficiency, he would feel in like manner the experience of being the grass and so forth. [...]

[...] Malba didn’t know where the daughter was, but she did know that her son now had two boys of his own. [...]

Dream 1—I was looking at some weird contraption, maybe mechanical, that my father had made, to leave me some money after his death; money was supposed to come out of it. A nice old man, sort of a kindly bum, came by and told me father had made it two hours before his death so that I’d have some inheritance; and the old man might have had a key that worked it; I’m not sure; but there was something about a key.... [...]

(11:12.) Ruburt is learning about the unknown reality, and in his own way he is making such a journey as the one suggested in this book. [...]

[...] He has quite properly trusted himself as he never did before in his life—in this life—and the results are making themselves known.

[...] Take his coffee to the yard, for example. His idea of seeking out motion is a good one. [...]

(Just as I turned Jane on her side after the session, our neighbor Joe Bumbalo — who is very ill with cancer — called to invite me to share Chinese food and rhubarb pie with him and his wife, Margaret. [...] Joe, lying on his couch, saw me trying to swallow, and called Margaret from the kitchen. [...]

It will help considerably if Ruburt discusses his mistrust of the body with you — thus expressing those feelings within the framework of your relationship.

[...] Ruburt should look over his dream material again, to find further correlations between it and the stages of his recovery, further correlations between the inward and outward sequence of events.

I have heard each of you say, at one time or another, that you did not know if you would do it over again—if you knew that Ruburt would have developed his physical difficulties. [...]

[...] These class excerpts, which I’ve rearranged somewhat for easy reference, may be used when considered with book material still to come, since Seth will occasionally use the class format to supplement his dictation in our “regular” sessions. The quotations also lead us back to the circumstances surrounding Seth’s delivery of his first session on the Sumari.)

[...] After Jane and I married a few years later we occasionally visited her father in various parts of the country — but still, we hadn’t seen him for several years before his death. [...]

[...] Each individual, creating, say, his version of any given chair, uses entirely different atoms and molecules in his subconscious construction of it.

He sees or perceives only his own construction. [...]

[...] The thought, the original thought, is retained by A. A, however, forms a thought as nearly identical as his possibilities allow it to be. [...]

By slowing down his perception of action, man imagines that he lengthens time. [...]

I would like to explain more clearly a few ideas that came to Ruburt concerning certain kinds of correspondents, and to explain more clearly some important issues regarding his own situation that also began to come into his mind. [...]

Now these are powerful and “magical” statements, and as Ruburt made them mentally he could psychologically feel his agreement with any given one, and also the degree with which in the past he had not wholeheartedly accepted those abilities, but had set up certain restrictions about them—so a new flash in communication was set up, and new recognition came into his conscious mind. [...]

[...] The person recognizes the restrictions and changes his or her ways accordingly, opening the doorway not into death but to further life and action in this space and time. [...]
