“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] His theories and teachings could be interpreted in many ways; they stood for kernels that man could sow as he wished. [...] Other portions of his teachings did not follow the main line of Christian thought, and were buried.

[...] The ancient mother-goddess concept became “unconscious”; the male, purposely forgetting the great natural aggressive thrust of birth, took physical aggression and force as his prerogative — for this came to represent the quality of ego consciousness in its need to physically manipulate its environment.

The church ignored Christ’s physical birth, for example, and made his mother an immaculate virgin, which meant that the consciousness of the species would for a longer time ignore its relationship with nature and its feminine aspects. [...]

[...] Probable man is emerging now, but also in relationship with his entire natural environment, in which cooperation is a main force. [...]

(Jane’s expressions of long sound and her sensations of massiveness are of course directly related to the multidimensional neurological activity, the “sidepools” of consciousness, that she described in Appendix 4 of Volume 1. Seth also mentioned neurological pulses and/or speeds in various sessions in Volume 1. In the opening delivery for Session 686, for example, see his information on our species’ selection of one “official” series of neurological pulses for physical reality, and, at 12:19 A.M., his remarks on prejudiced perception. [...]

[...] Most of that material hasn’t been published, although in Chapter 17 of The Seth Material Jane described Seth Two to some extent, including “his, hers, or its” intimate connections with Seth: the subjective pyramid or cone effects she experiences just above her head when contacting Seth Two; and the great energy she feels at such times. [...]

(These two ideas from Seth, which came through in connection with his data on moment points, are to me very suggestive of the concept of long sound. [...]

[...] His last sentence before break was: “I will have something to say concerning Ruburt’s experience the other evening….” [...]

[...] My friend has his problems and I would not want him put out of his comfortable shelter so that I would have to speak from the middle of a rainy field. [...]

[...] In Framework 1 his recovery is coming along, and yet the ease and quickness of that recovery, again—and again—could be increased, and should be, by greater activity in Framework 2. Once that is begun it accelerates.

Any and all of his doubts can be alleviated by the complete realization that he can indeed trust the physician within, and the ancient wisdom of the body. [...]

[...] She told Rob that our work with Seth was a lifetime project, that we would publish his manuscripts, and help spread his ideas. [...]

[...] I’ll ask him to comment, if he doesn’t on his own.”

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

[...] He also carried on with his discussion of the ego and health, giving an excellent analysis of the ego’s relationship to the personality as a whole. [...]

[...] Half crouching in the middle of the room, he looked all around with his eyes round and his ears drawn halfway back; it is a pose we have often seen him take when on the alert.

One of these nights Ruburt will get his because I will alternate a few sessions of regular material with a few sessions having to do with his present family.

When your friend Philip innocently asked at what point human consciousness entered the picture, his question was not pertinent. [...]

Well, you will do well to give our peppery Ruburt his old divider or whatever up front but otherwise you are free as far as I am concerned.

7. Naturally, Seth’s discussion since break reflects much of his material throughout Personal Reality. Then in Volume 1, see his comments just before 11:26 for Session 687: “I am saying that the individual self must become consciously aware of far more reality … Your species is in a time of change. [...]

[...] Ruburt imagined his classes being held there. [...]

[...] Some see the end of the world coming as a greater disaster, or envision man finally ruining his planet. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) In that probable reality, to which each of you can belong to some extent, each person will recognize his or her inherent power of action and decision, and feel an individual sense of belonging with the physical world that springs up in response to individual desire and belief.⁷

[...] In your terms only, I could be referred to — and I have told Ruburt this — as a sixth self of his in his future; but this is only to get the idea across, for he will not become what I am. [...]

[...] I evolved along my own ways and he evolved along his. [...]

[...] Now, I am speaking to our friend over here (Art O., an engineer) because he may perhaps have a comprehension of what I am trying to explain, because of his background.

(Now Seth moved from his own book to this new subject — Jane’s The World View of Paul Cézanne — with ease and obvious zest. [...] He didn’t finish his work for Cézanne tonight, though.

[...] In very important terms this is quite a legitimate feeling, for no one else can experience the world from any other viewpoint except from his or her own, or affect it except through private action. [...]

[...] At one level, then (underlined), any person contacting his or her own psyche can theoretically contact any other psyche. [...]

[...] I spoke to Seth, asking for both his help and reassurance, his protection, and that he help Jane reach Blanche.

[...] Jane asked Seth for signs of his presence; Seth had talked about giving such signs, soon, in the last session. [...]

(From 6-7 PM this evening Jane and I attended a cocktail party given by Leonard Yaudes in his apartment downstairs. [...]

[...] They reminded man of his past. [...]

The Sumari language itself will help Ruburt by freeing his concepts, and release him from the almost automatic process of translating data into stereotyped English terms. [...]

(“What was the image our friend Bill Macdonnel saw in the rocking chair, in his bedroom in Niagara Falls, in December of 1961?”)

Was fragment of his own entity, a past personality regaining momentary independence on visual plane. [...]

(Jane had the qualifying thought that Seth was more amused in his reply than angry.

[...] There were also conflicts of direction, as to who would “rule the roost”, and you resented his “taking over”, or what it seemed to you to be. [...] You thought that you would welcome his cooperation and aid, and because, now, of other conflicts with him, in the east, in this life, instead, you resented his help. [...]

[...] You interpret his remark about the candle to mean that he is rejecting deep, romantic feelings of yours, and needs; and also that the fire means that these needs are dangerous—his fear of fire being a symbol for “Danger!”. [...]

[...] To some extent you punish him for his past attitudes by not appearing as attractively as you could. [...]

He is much more open in that regard now than he was, and he understands his own emotional behavior better, as well as yours.

(A short unscheduled session was held on this date, with Bill Macdonnel and his friend Joanie Gilbert as witnesses. [...]

[...] Here we have a legitimate occasion, in which Ruburt projected to your room, and I acted as his guide. [...]

[...] Otherwise, have him forget his vision as much as possible, and it will indeed right itself.

[...] I told Jane that his promise of giving more material doesn’t usually work out — I’m aware of a number of such references he’s made in this series of sessions. [...]

[...] His response there was excellent for him, as you said. [...] To you, far more acceptable, of course, than his way.

On the house: now Ruburt could quite cleverly see Dr. Sam as he tried to shut nature out, and be at the same time relatively opaque in understanding his feelings toward the Foster Street house—his own feelings.

[...] He strongly feels his responsibility to you, to advise you well. [...]

He is not responsible for other people’s realities, but he is responsible for his own. [...] The ill woman’s reality does not threaten his own in any way. [...]

New sentence: In your historical past, when man identified his identity with the soul, he actually gave himself greater leeway in terms of psychological mobility, but eventually the concept of the soul as held resulted in a distrust of the intellect. [...]

[...] He is only aware of those moments when creative activity surges into his conscious awareness, and by then much of the “work” has already been done.

(10:07 P.M. I told Jane that if Seth hadn’t gone into it on his own, I’d have asked him to comment on her mail reactions. [...]

[...] As I went through a double revolving door I caught a glimpse of a young man, say in his mid-twenties, who was an exact duplicate of my own son, who I knew was not in the mall, but was away on business of some kind. [...] Either I followed him to his car, then talked to him, or followed him to where he lived with his parents — but he bore an uncanny resemblance to my own son.

[...] I want Ruburt to apply all of this to his own situation, both in terms of creative endeavors and his physical situation, so that he begins to understand that he can start to react in the present to a future recovery.

[...] The inexperienced diver cannot really control his body or his movements by willing to control them. [...]

[...] Since Ruburt seems to have such limited use of his regular eyes we shall have to see what we can do with his inner sight.

[...] For a brief moment he “saw” (in quotes) as clearly without opening his eyes as he would ordinarily see by using them. [...]

[...] Unknowingly he requested the desired information, that is the time, from his own subconscious, and free from impediments the subconscious delivered.

The scientist’s (Truzzi’s) letter had some good results, in crystallizing your attitudes in Ruburt’s poetry, and in passages for his book. [...]

[...] Have him imagine shrugging his shoulders. [...]

[...] The star in the medical theater is the absent one, and that applied to his personal situation. [...]
