“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The second question: Did Seth intend to title Part One and Part Two of his book, as he had his chapters? [...]

(I had two questions for our portion of the session, and we expected that Seth’s answers would be included in the Appendix of his book. [...]

(And although I was getting weary, it was apparent that Seth could easily shift into a state where his energy would seem inexhaustible.)

(While we had a quick snack I asked her if she thought the recent strange behavior of our cat, Willy, could stem from his reactions to our own psychic states. [...] Our other cat, Rooney, had always seemed to be immune to us in such matters, and even now was conducting himself in his usual leisurely fashion.

[...] “Seth comes through on his book from here, on this channel.” [...]

[...] Now I have to pick the right channel to get Seth back on his book; and it almost seems that if someone else came here now and mentioned a subject, I’d have that information all ready too.

[...] Christianity saw it as heaven, inhabited by God the Father, His angels, the saints, and [the] deceased faithful.

[...] Earlier in his own experience Ruburt described that framework (in Psychic Politics) as the heroic dimension. [...]

Late in the last century some very ingenious experiments failed to scientifically prove the existence of the ether, however, and the theory was finally dispensed with for good following Albert Einstein’s publication of his special theory of relativity in 1905.

I think the idea of the ether is an excellent example of how man has always attempted to posit or visualize in physical reality his innate knowledge of Framework 2.

His appearance then reminded you of his appearance in hay fever season, and reinforced your own symptoms until they became a symbol of virility, since they were your father’s, and also a symbol of how a man could cry. [...]

[...] Dr. Martin and his wife visited your parents. [...]

[...] The pattern was set earlier in his childhood. [...]

She did not comfort him as his mother had. [...]

4. I thought that in his last sentence especially Seth was flirting with the principle of uncertainty, or indeterminacy, as postulated in 1927 by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg. [...] She hadn’t; nor did she understand his work, as best I could explain it to her.

7. As an artist, my intuitive reaction to Seth’s remark that an atom can move in more than one direction at once was to associate that ability with his notions of simultaneous time and probabilities. [...] At the same time he realizes that from his artistic viewpoint he may not be able to understand the paradox of “contradictory” motions.

His probable brain can translate only so much of this at one time.

(Jane has often told me that usually on such nighttime occasions she doesn’t feel Seth’s presence or hear his voice. [...]

[...] Jane and I like him, but doubted his availability very often. [...]

I would definitely speak to this Father Martin before approaching anyone else, simply because his attitude would enable him to work well with us, I believe that he may be available, though not for any long period. [...]

I am picking up his emotional feeling toward them, the circumstances. [...]

I believe Dr. Instream is in a room that is not his own, a different room than he has been in any other time during our appointments. [...]

(In the ESP class session of February 9, 1971, Seth gave an excellent account of the particular aspect of his perceptions that I was referring to now. Ever since then I’ve wanted to ask him to say more about this in his own book. [...]

[...] The characteristic interest and abilities of the personality involved will have much to do with his recognition of the realities within this layer of consciousness.

[...] The person encountering these has only to turn his attention away to “deactivate” the phenomenon. [...]

The “stuff” of the environment will have its origin in the mind of the projectionist, being symbolic of his idea, for example, of life after death. [...]

[...] The field of reality for any given personality must and does include all these areas of activity, for they give form and dimension to his existence. [...]

[...] Nevertheless one man’s dreams affect another’s, and that man is in turn affected by the dreams of his neighbor.

[...] A man is affected by the dreams of his fellows in quite definite, realistic and practical ways. [...]

[...] A telephone may be ringing at this moment (pause, at 10:10) in his immediate environment.

Ruburt spread his physical problem around more, bodywise; in such a way, he thought he could endure longer, you see, rather than attacking a critical organ.

[...] Seth now resumed dictation on his book. [...]

[...] Indeed, as Ruburt became aware of the little that is known, he wondered at his own daring. [...]

(Seth continued:) He also began to see two poles in society one highly conventional and closed, in which he would appear as a charlatan; and another, yearning but gullible, willing to believe anything if only it offered hope, in which his activities would be misinterpreted, and to him [would be] fraudulent … There was a middle ground that he would have to make for himself … to make a bridge to those intellectuals who doubted, and yet maintain some freedom and spontaneity in order to reach those at the other end. [...]

“When we make contact, his consciousness and personality in concentrated form make a journey—in your terms, like a speck in space—the consciousness reduced to its essence. And from his experience we let him fall back into the physical system. [...]

[...] … You and he must see to it that Ruburt does not color his experiences through reading material that is distorted. [...]

At this point, Rob became aware of the new and rather odd energy in Seth’s voice as his delivery grew more powerful. [...]

[...] Seth’s deep tones, his gestures and characteristic way of using words—these were absent.

Now: Ruburt’s mind is far more aware of other realities than his brain is, but he consciously believes in the greater reality of himself and his perceptions. [...]

[...] The affirmation involved is one of transcendence, in which for a time a person affirms his reality in flesh and at the same time states his independence from it (smile) — and realizes that both of these conditions exist simultaneously. [...]

[...] If he came through like he is now, his voice would be so strong it would drown out everything else in the world. [...]

[...] He has always emphasized his own unique creative and intuitive processes. [...]

(“Is ‘life’ the word you want used there?” This is one of the few times I’ve interrupted Seth during his presentation of “Unknown” Reality.)

[...] You will seem to view finished reincarnational existences, even as from his present the geologist will discover only inanimate fossils embedded in rock. [...]

In Appendix 12 and its notes there are a number of passages from Seth (as well as a few of my own) that supplement his remarks, in this 727th session, on present form responding to a future time. [...]

[...] Much of his material in that session applies here: “It is truer to say that heredity operates from the future backward into the past….”

[...] As I watched my father grow older, with an accompanying progressive loss of memory and function, I used to wonder why he didn’t consciously revise his response to life — and why I never saw any indication that he wanted to. I clearly sensed that it was possible for him to improve his beliefs about life, and that the benefits from such a course of action would be great. [...]

[...] The most secluded recluse must still depend upon the biological sociability of not only his own body cells, but of the natural world with all of its creatures. [...]

[...] Man’s abilities in this respect are far more complicated, for in his imagination he deals with probabilities. [...]

The body, responding to his thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, has much more data to deal with, therefore, and must have a clear area in which concise action is possible.

[...] “ His presence was advanced as a possible reason for the quietness of the class.)

Our other friend (Brad) is playing with his crutches—tossing them in the air a bit—practicing a two-step without them. [...]

I use Ruburt’s body, with his permission, because he is a friend of mine. [...]

[...] Now in one way, each individual will find his own answer—and yet all answers, in another way, are one. [...]

(9:29.) A man believing he has heart trouble will finally, through his own anxiety, affect the functioning of his “involuntary” system until his heart is definitely harmed if the belief goes unchecked. [...]

(Yesterday Jane and I read the Time magazine cover story for November 13, 1972, featuring Richard Bach and his book, Jonathan Livingston Seagull. [...]

[...] When he is operating at his best he remembers his dreams very easily, and this can be a guide point for you both.

It did Ruburt good to talk with his friend, for he has been concentrating with too much vigor of late.

[...] Unless he narrows his focus and concentration to concentrate upon the present individual during a session, Seth told us he sees a composite image, an energy reality that is composed of past personalities, and in many cases also of future personalities that will be adopted by the inner self.)

[...] When he does not do so he tries too hard, and the very attempt throws him back on his own nervous energy.

[...] Your artistic ability does not belong to your ego, dear Joseph, though I understand as I speak that anyone on your plane identifies himself with his ego, and when he says “I am,” he means he is his ego, or his ego is.

[...] It was to his class that Jane spoke on censorship in art and writing—and also ran into “a Frank Watts in poet’s clothing,” as Seth called him, in the form of another guest speaker.

[...] You could not have maintained his health for many long years in any case. [...]

[...] It was impossible, Joseph, for your parents to even be decent when you returned from Florida for the same reason that you and Ruburt were unable to help your Mischa in his time of need. [...]

[...] Ruburt fixed it so that he could only sit at his desk—and for all your protests, my dear friend, you acquiesced. [...] But he also needed your help, because while the main method was his, your intents were in unison and the same—to protect yourselves and your creativity from an unsafe universe. [...]

[...] To some extent Ruburt’s symptoms served to keep the unsafe world at bay; while this was his private construction, you also took advantage of it, in that at least it served certain purposes.

[...] If Ruburt becomes so spontaneous, then you must be able to make money from your painting, for he might not spend sufficient time at his work.

[...] This has to do with Ruburt’s symptoms, for he felt that he must be at his desk so many hours, whatever the number, and you became so obsessed with the amount of physical hours that you had to devote to painting that you began to divide up your psyche in terms of time.

[...] Ruburt has been using his energy in his book, and I do not begrudge it.

[...] I believe a doctor told me it was cancer—not very dangerous, could be removed in his office. [...]

[...] I cannot get it clearly, something like Tom Tucker with his thumb, and the next line had to do with a plum. [...]

Ruburt will do well on the rest of his book. [...]
