“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The beliefs were necessary to his development. They tempered others, but now he should become aware of his own natural flow, and follow it.

[...] He needs your enthusiasm, and you need to work on your beliefs concerning his condition. [...]

[...] His enthusiasm for a program is important. [...]

[...] In his value system, Seagull, etc., had to occur, or something like it. [...]

[...] During break John gave us some information; briefly, it has to do with his restlessness in his job, his wife’s reactions, his wife’s parents, his own strong need to assert his independence, etc. [...] He is an excellent medical representative for Searle Drug, but feels he is not being extended enough in his work; he wants more challenge. [...]

[...] It was brought about because John began talking about his family relationships; the subject came up when we discussed some of the sessions John has witnessed, and the data Seth has given in them pertaining to John, his family, his job, etc. [...]

(John Bradley said that as far as he knew Seth was correct in his analysis of his wife’s parents, and correct concerning the relationship between John and his wife.

[...] He verified that a situation does arise on Wednesdays in his home. Every other week a cleaning woman works at his home on Wednesdays, helping his wife with heavier chores. [...]

His recovery also follows his body’s own unique rhythms, which are as spontaneous as an infant’s. Let him know that his recovery is indeed a fact: he has only to recognize it as so in his mind. [...]

(Resume at 4:16.) It is also a good idea for Ruburt to remind himself that he knows well that these concepts are true, and that they will lead inevitably toward his recovery—or rather, to his recovery—for they follow the innate laws of nature as it exists in its own state, apart from men’s ideas about it. [...]

His imagery in hosing down your present house is excellent. [...]

(Long pause at 4:20.) In review, it seems that the most vital ideas for his current situation have been given in this session, where they can be referred to easily. [...]

Through observing his creations he learns how to use these abilities better. He checks on his inner progress by seeing the physical materialization of his work. [...]

[...] In your own case mankind is forming his reality through the use of these gifts. [...] They form the basis of his reality. [...]

[...] The artist is using his abilities. In the same way, man is using his abilities, and they are apparent when he creates a real war.

[...] Ultimately a completed or finished God, or All That Is, would end up smothering His creation. [...]

[...] His vision problems had little to do with his eyes, for example, but with the way he was using the ligaments in his neck, and with his posture. [...]

[...] His performance is better there. His sitting down is far easier. Some of his gestures are quicker. [...]

One day in the bathroom Ruburt found his knees and toes impulsively moving rather quickly together, up and down, elevating him with some spontaneous ease. [...] On other occasions portions of his body will move with nearly normal speed—another sign of the body’s intent.

[...] His teeth are very loose on the tops. [...]

The beloved monster lost weight, looked neglected, lost his luster, became listless unless forced into activity, looked older. Now, he was suddenly deprived of his position. [...] He also became in his own way obstinate.

Now your remark, not verbatim, “Come on, Hon, get with it,” worked to some extent, for it roused his desire to give you a good day, not to spoil it, and his spirits rose to some degree. [...]

[...] He is also worried because of his own nature that women find him unattractive, because of age, and because of a feeling for the other sex. [...] For this reason his comments and manner grow more “out of bounds” as he grows older and becomes more frightened.

[...] When your intimate situation improves, so will his eating habits. But oddly enough the reverse also applies—when his eating habits improve so will your intimate lives. [...]

[...] The bodybuilder does not think he is inhibiting his expression if he chooses to focus on his bodybuilding to the exclusion of distractions that may be quite real but detrimental to his purpose. [...]

[...] Ruburt enjoys your combing his hair, because then you are touching him. [...] He was unhappy with some attempts he had made in the kitchen, and after some due consideration decided in this new mood of openness to discuss his feelings. [...]

[...] He needs the verbal expression of love and affection, not only in regard to his work, which he appreciates immensely, but in terms of his person. [...]

He tried out new motions, getting up and down from the stool, for example, without his table, and Saturday he reaped certain benefits, getting up surprisingly easy often, and gaining some new confidence.

A word about what Ruburt calls his “helper.” In the past he drained his reserves. [...]

Now Ruburt is literally floating free from his difficulties. [...]

[...] His late feelings of joy and release and the refreshment he is finding in nature, released him from private circles of nervousness, and opened channels through which positive energy did accumulate.

It is indeed the opposite version of his black thing.

[...] Hitler’s daydreams became more and more grandiose, and in their light, the plight of his country seemed worsened with each day’s events. He counted its humiliations over and over in his mind, until his mind became an almost completely closed environment, in which only certain ideas were allowed entry.

[...] [Adolf] Hitler pursued his version of “the good” with undeviating fanatical intent. [...] In his grandiose, idealized version of reality, he saw that race “set in its proper place,” as natural master of mankind.¹

[...] It was because Hitler was so convinced of the existence of evil in the individual psyche, that he set up all of his rules and regulations to build up and preserve “Aryan purity.” [...] And while in the Jewish books [of The Old Testament] Jehovah now and then came through with great majesty to save his chosen people, he also allowed them to suffer great indignities over long periods of time, seeming to save them only at the last moment — and this time, so it seemed, he did not save them at all. [...]

[...] He yearned for destruction, for in saner moments even he recognized the twisted distortions of his earlier ideals. This meant that he often sabotaged his own efforts, and several important Allied victories were the result of such sabotaging. [...]

[...] His determination to use his body is helping in this area. [...]

You can direct his anticipation for example of vacation along positive lines. [...] The ones that he has are not severe ones, regarding the wisdom of your move for example, but are negative projections on his part.

The more he does physically also the more his body needs and will ask for food. [...] This has resulted to his adding more to your evening meals. [...]

[...] The air if you are outside will also help his appetite. [...]

[...] I dreamed he was taken very ill with heart trouble — that all he wanted to do was lay on his back in bed — I think in a trailer environment. His wife Margaret was there, and myself. [...]

[...] His had just frozen up due to unsuspected overheating; he had to be at the Chemung County airport at 2:30 to pick up his sister Judy, flying in from the Midwest, then again at 5:30 to pick up Margaret and Joe. [...]

(Joe, John said, has been taken very ill — pains throughout his body, in the bones, but also in the heart area. [...] His diabetes is out of control. [...]

Your own knowledge, desire, purpose and intent tuned you into some such communications, so your concern for Joe Bumbalo (our next-door neighbor on Pinnacle Road) tuned you into his physical and emotional state at that time.

[...] The individual becomes a victim of chance insofar as his birth, the events of his life, and his death are concerned. Illness becomes his most direct encounter with the seeming meaninglessness of personal existence (all quite intently).

David let Jane use his telephone to call our publisher when we couldn’t afford a phone ourselves. He gave us his magazines and newspapers—a practice he continues to this day during his school year. [...]

In March 1975 Jane and I purchased the hill house just outside Elmira, and within a few weeks David acquired his own place not far from us in the valley below. We didn’t see each other as often as we used to, but one morning each week, on his way to school, David left his magazines and newspapers at our back porch door, whether or not we were up, or saw him.

[...] I’m presenting excerpts from the generalized part of his material, but none about David himself. We have no idea of pressing Seth’s personal information upon David; doing that would be an invasion of his privacy. [...]

You hope to cast understanding upon man’s soul, his body, and alter his concepts of his cultural reality. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s interpretation of last night’s dream was correct, and his dream experience will show greater depth and variety now that he has stated his intent by beginning his (dream) notebook.

Ruburt’s body is undergoing profound beneficial alterations, for his desire and intent seemingly have changed overnight, relatively speaking. [...]

The word combines all of his goals—physical and creative—into one clear focus in which there is no ambiguity. [...]

[...] There is Ruburt’s ego, and his subconscious, as you know. There are also other areas or levels that are part of his whole personality. [...]

There is often at his end a final tug and pull, so that the vocal mechanism will finally speak the correct interpretation. Of course Ruburt’s own associations are used by me, with his consent, up to a certain point, to enable me to lead him to the proper subject or image.

Then when we are successful there is a divergence from his associations so that he says the correct word, even though the correct word, for him personally, would be the wrong word as far as his personal associations are concerned.

[...] I will use his associations until I am certain that he has the concept of the word water, but precisely where he is about to say the ocean for example, and after having made use of his associations to get him to this point, I must suddenly make him say a glass of water.

He became very alarmed over your own symptoms, though he did well enough in maintaining his own there. His work on his own book now is helping to put certain matters in perspective, and his eyesight is also improving in certain areas. [...]

[...] JA also seemed surprised, and double-checked his data to make sure he was correct. Moreover, when the new lenses were assembled in his machine for me to check my vision, I was able to read 15-20 [or 20-15?], another improvement over the normal 20-20.

[...] I left his office feeling surprised and pleased. [...]

time since he’d had his bypass heart surgery. [...]

Your dream represents Ruburt’s more healthy attitude toward his eyes and their vision. It also represents his growing faith in his own psychic vision, and hence his return to his own natural rhythms and motion.

[...] She was with Ronald Reagan and one of his daughters. She talked him out of his nuclear-arms policies, and out of the devil — and evil — idea. [...]

[...] I heard his voice clearly. [...]

[...] By themselves they can act to unlock additional energy, vitality, and quicken his sense of purpose.

Ruburt’s predictions and his dream records will again improve. To some degree he was tied up in knots, although his condition is far superior to what it would have been under the same circumstances at any time in the past. [...]

[...] At this point however, it will be to his advantage to leave matters as they are.

[...] Also a lively concern shown by Ruburt in his letters as to publicity matters and promotion, with mention later of other books in the field that he plans.

[...] His letter, however, did make an impression upon Mr. Fell. [...]

[...] I suggest therefore that he make an attempt to express his moods, both joyful and sorrowful, in physical terms through body motion. [...]

[...] When his legs bother him, they do want activity. [...]

[...] He should not overestimate the poor points of his condition. [...]

[...] This is his end of the picture right now, and what he should do.

[...] He is being as creative when he contemplates the kitchen table in his own fashion, and is enjoying then a state of consciousness that is to some extent uniquely his own. The creative state of mind cannot be shut off and on, yet Ruburt has approached it only as it related to his ideas of work.

[...] He may or may not sell his paintings, but the difference between the artist and other people is his or her way of being—a difference in the style of existence. [...]

[...] As given in some old sessions, certain difficulties began when Ruburt tried to make his creativity fit the conventional work patterns. [...]

[...] For some insights in this area I would like to come through his own experience of direct feelings. [...]

[...] Wiping his eyes when filling the shaker, he jabbed his eye. [...] He had vainly daydreamed that his father might send unexpected money, with which he could complete that set of dishes to which the pepper shaker belongs.

Tell Ruburt to call on me before he sleeps, and we shall see what we can do for his comfort. [...] Were it not for the benefit of his nature, and as a result of his nature, it would not have been necessary at all.

[...] Ruburt thinks of an old photograph of himself, with his dog. And connects this with his father.
