“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In the last period of time Ruburt has also produced his material on Speaker manuscripts, for example, when his mood has been on an entirely different nature, when he was immersed in creativity, and he felt a sense of accomplishment. [...]

[...] It represents what is left over of Ruburt’s questioning and doubts, those unresolved areas that were emotionally charged not only because of, say, Church doctrine, but intensified because of emotional episodes with his mother, or other such issues. [...]

[...] They often represent humiliations, most often at his mother’s hands—humiliations that convinced him that he was indeed unlovable and bound for trouble. [...]

[...] He is not as healthy as he would like to be, because his physical mobility is impaired. [...] He does this by mentally changing over his account (emphatically) from Framework 1, where he is indeed improving through effort, trial and error and determination—but improving at a far slower rate than he would like. [...]

He changes his health account to Framework 2, where he need expend no more effort than he is now, but the results, or the interest, will be far more than doubled. [...]

When either of you concentrates upon your dissatisfactions with Prentice, or number its particular failings, or picture covers you did not like, or whatever, it is like Ruburt concentrating upon his symptoms. [...]

(I should add that at 2:30 I called to see if Andrew Fife was in his office at billing, since I wanted to show him the claim-denial reports I’d received from the insurance company the day before Christmas. [...]

(Today when I called his office, I found out that Andrew Fife was on vacation until January 3, so I’ll see him then. [...]

[...] I said to Jane, that in my hand I held the best man could do about understanding his origins at this time. [...]

(I said that Seth may have already begun his next book, and if so, fine. [...]

(We’re presenting his material for me because it has good general application: If Seth deals with my own painted images without even mentioning the words reincarnation or counterparts, still he does reveal how such “residents of the mind” make up part of each person’s innate knowledge of his or her own greater — or larger — self.

1. In Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality Seth began developing his theory of counterparts — that the larger psychological self, or entity, of each of us manifests not just one physical life in any given century, say, but several, so as to gain that much more experience in a variety of roles involving different ages, nationalities and languages, sexual orientations, family roles, and so forth. As I understand the counterparts thesis, the individual may or may not meet at least some of his or her counterparts, scattered as they can be among earth’s different countries and cultures. [...]

[...] The dark-haired young man was trying to talk me into displaying some of my smaller paintings in the room in his funeral home where guests were seated for viewings, etc. [...] I replied that his policy meant people would think the paintings were his, and not for sale. [...]

[...] (The crying.) His arms also showed additional freedom—and in many instances portions of his body moved with the same kind of ease that you experienced in your dream of last evening, as you painted the large portraits—

His egotistical decisions therefore now more faithfully reflect the whole self, or the whole personality. [...] It is for this reason that his suggestions are taking hold so well, for they do not conflict with other layers of the self.

The suggestion was given that he have an abundance of energy, and that he would focus and discipline the energy so that he could use it in his writing and in his psychic work. [...]

[...] (Pause.) It is his own (pause), and he concentrates upon it.

[...] He must of course make his own choice as to the extent to which he wants to commit himself to our work. His feelings in all directions bearing on these issues should be aired, acknowledged, discussed, and then action taken in line with what he discovers.

I will have Ruburt put out his cigarette, and continue.

(Is he still concerned about me, resulting in a slowdown of movement on his part?

The pressure put upon him by himself, and discussed by you, having to do with his own work. [...]

He told his students that he felt as if he were between worlds, and he was. The answer in this case was not given in words, and at first he did not realize that his experience was as much of an answer as he could be given now.

[...] It is only because of his own abilities that he was able to translate the information for himself to any degree.

Ruburt is intrigued by the extension of his inner senses at this point. [...]

(I also wanted to ask Seth just how we would know the presence of his entity, but did not interrupt since Seth seemed to want to keep speaking.)

Third, we were involved in vigorous subjective activity as we began to experiment with Seth’s psy-time regularly and to follow his suggestions concerning dream investigation, recall and utilization. [...] Though Seth told us that the experiments in dream recall would automatically make our consciousness more flexible, his real meaning didn’t come through to me until I found myself manipulating dreams and later having out-of-body experiences from the dream state.

Peg and Bill Gallagher, friends of ours, attended the next session in which Seth continued with his suggestions for our dream experiments. [...] Of course, I welcome our Jesuit and cat-lover, as always. (Seth always referred to Bill as “The Jesuit” because of his quick, inquiring mind and to Peg as “the cat-lover,” humorously, because of her strong dislike for cats.) After a few more personal remarks, he launched into the discussion.

[...] At the same time, Seth began to send me on out-of-body journeys during some sessions and to offer, on his own, other instances of “paranormal” activity.

[...] Seth has always emphasized that all true knowledge must be directly experienced; therefore, I will include throughout this book his instructions and suggestions for dream recall, investigation and manipulation.

It may be that the frog could have learned more by exploring his own frogness, and, certainly, I felt rather superior to the frog and the nature of his search — that’s implied in the poem. [...]

[...] A newspaper man, a colleague of hers, told Peg that, though he didn’t know me at all, he awakened in the middle of the night convinced that I was in his room. [...] His experience happened the same night that I tried to get to Gallaghers — and he lives in the same area.

[...] So even space-wise, there seems to be a connection between those earlier sessions and the present ones in which Seth is dictating his own book.

So the frog spent all his life
Trying to understand.
While he grew old and feeble
The watch ticked on in the sand.

[...] Our President’s main challengers for his office haven’t publicly criticized him, but neither have they defended him from foreign and domestic censure—and today our Secretary of State resigned in protest of the rescue mission. [...]

[...] Whatever man’s conscious beliefs, on a biological level his genetic structure is intimately related to the genetic structure of all other species.

[...] There are gradations of suffering, of course, and each person will have his or her definitions of what suffering is. [...]

[...] Tell Ruburt the end does not justify the means (with humor) in his particular situation, any more than in any other. [...]

[...] This will not work to our disadvantage however, for his cautiousness in these matters acts as a strong balancing mechanism, so that he learns to deal with inner perceptions stage by stage. His personality is not overwhelmed therefore. We have taken his ego into consideration at all times, so that he can consciously assimilate what he has learned, as is preferable. [...]

The boy either 12 or 22 years old, with a farm somehow connected with his family or the message.

[...] While Seth was giving his data on the photograph, she said, she was also aware of several images of her own. [...]

Ruburt will be in fine fettle by Saturday in regards to financial matters, and his kitchen. [...]

[...] I could see even using his answer as a footnote for that session in Dreams, though the dates wouldn’t fit. [...]

(Pause.) Units of consciousness do help form different kinds of physical realities—as indeed Ruburt has himself hinted in some of his poetry. [...]

Ruburt is continuing his improvements. [...]

Ruburt continues his improvements, and overall his strength grows daily. [...]

(I said I was most curious that Seth comment, since what the movie showed was so at odds with his material on early man in Dreams. [...]

(Our dear friend, Frank Longwell, who has been a great help to us for many years, visited while I had lunch today; he’s made his first sale of a hearing aid. [...] Steve was also talking about the phases of the moon having influence on his behavior and actions, Jane said she didn’t believe in that. [...]

(“What was that reaction he had when I rubbed his left temple?”)

[...] Leonard, a school teacher, knows Miss Callahan, and his apartment abuts hers on the south. But in order to make room for the divan, Leonard first had to get rid of his old one. A friend helped him move it out to the garage; then on Monday, May 18, I helped him move Miss Callahan’s divan into his apartment.

(“Can you tell me how my husband made his living?”)

(“How long does it take for a person to realize his death, usually?”)

[...] Is he left alone to find his own way, greeted by others, or what?”)

[...] Rob sticks his head in doorway, says money is “there”; he’s busy, difficult for me to turn to see where “There” is; he has to say “on cabinet.” Kid tries door; it’s locked; I don’t think I can unlock it and get out of his way quickly enough without asking him to wait for me to move, feel humiliated again, know Rob is busy with the book and why can’t I handle it? [...]

His increased energy will show as his increased and increasing motions become more apparent. [...]

[...] LD or his secretary will write. [...]

[...] Had I begun writing books, Ruburt would have been appalled, thinking that I was invading his province. [...]

(To me:)Your body wanted relaxation, but you believed that relaxation was, under the circumstances, wrong, and often when your body began to relax in the past you automatically tightened it, as another might straighten his tie to be more presentable. [...]

[...] After supper she’d felt Seth material on his book, the latter, and personal stuff, she said—all before the call from Yale. [...]
