“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, first, Ruburt is having some success in turning the focus of his attention away from the symptoms, and if he continues and remembers, then his progress will be speedy. [...]

[...] There will be a time when Ruburt will project out of his body during sessions and remember what transpires while I speak through his body. [...]

[...] There are elements in it quite evocative of man camped about any lake, of his relationship with nature and with water, and with his sometimes seemingly contradictory desire to be apart from his fellows while still united somehow with a larger fellowship. [...]

[...] That is, the suffering person, to whatever degree, already mistrusts or distrusts the nature of his own abilities, but usually can and will accept such a loving attention from another family member, or even from a friend. [...]

[...] It seems he and his wife are buying a larger cottage close by their old one, which they plan to rent. [...]

[...] Now he may not approve of Ruburt’s habits, but then Ruburt does not approve of his, and that is between he and Ruburt. [...] There are distortions in his thought as there are distortions in all of your thoughts. [...] A man’s myths are like his clothing  they are his own affair. [...]

[...] There was also another person connected with the affair who telepathically knew what was going on, and in his own way helped bring about the events and communicated them to you. [...]

Right now I’d bet that man will most certainly try with all of his might every technique he can devise in order to prolong physical life as long as possible — so great is his conscious fear of death as the consummate extinction for all time to come. Through all of his recorded history, man has created that fear, that belief, with the greatest tenacity imaginable.

[...] Seth did so while discussing his CU’s, or units of consciousness, for instance. Albert Einstein, in his special theory of relativity, demonstrated that nothing else in the universe can quite reach — let alone surpass — the speed of light. [...]

[...] As in the case of his CU’s, Seth’s “subjective motions and activities,” his “simultaneous events,” would easily be the rule in the basic nonphysical universe.

[...] This time he jumped up into her lap, then positioned himself with his forelegs against her chest while examining her face. [...]

Ruburt did well to relax the last few days, and he will now find that he applies himself to his various endeavors with renewed energy. I am glad that he put his dream book aside for a while, merely because he will have much more data for it within a short time. He can be working out his ideas however in the meantime, as this will be most beneficial. Even though some of his ideas will change, he will still need these present ideas as a basis.

[...] He is always accompanied by his wife. Early Saturday evening, we saw Hack Rice and his wife dancing, and said hello as we usually do. [...]

Now, a turnabout for Dr. Instream of some sort, I believe professionally, or in his professional life. [...]

[...] Here again Seth leads Jane by his method of counting. [...]

[...] Ruburt should continue expressing his aggressive feelings—kicking as well as with the pillows and badminton. [...]

[...] There will now be a synthesis of dream and waking activity, and a greater physical release, but he must also work through his beliefs on Rich Bed and the material begun today. [...]

[...] This was made possible through changes in beliefs—the resolutions (given by Seth on January 1, 1979), and his own intent.

In certain positions, those areas hurt when his weight is on them in a certain way. [...]

[...] These rise up, you see however, in direct proportion to the degree of his independent accomplishments, so that he then fears the accumulated results, social results, of what he has done. It is therefore fairly natural that when this accomplishment is being exteriorized he would become frightened of the opinion of his brethren. [...]

[...] We speculate: Before leaving for Maine with his girl, Leonard talked often to us of marriage to her. Since his return he has not mentioned the subject, and as far as we know has not seen the girl. [...]

[...] He is not upset basically (Jane got up from her rocker and walked about the room as she spoke, looking for her cigarettes) believe it or not, with the delay in his book publication, though this is the conscious rationalization.

(Laugh.) He is concerned, you see, over the publication of his book, period. [...]

The impression Rob got from the voice, gestures, and manner was that of an energetic, educated gentleman of the “old school,” in his sixties perhaps, extraordinarily intelligent but aware of his own foibles—a man with a highly developed yet old-fashioned sense of humor. [...]

[...] Then he launched into his first discussion of the Inner Senses, a subject which was entirely new to us. [...]

[...] As Rob looked down to take his notes, he realized that a vocal metamorphosis of some kind was taking place. [...]

[...] They show his reaction rather clearly:

He would be a famous writer, on his own terms, (underlined) or he would not accept life joyfully. [...] He would be a novelist and a poet, as the conditions of his happy existence, of his joyful existence, or he would not operate naturally.

He would attempt to limit his abilities if they did not agree with his preconceived ideas. If he could not go his own way, he would not go, and so he slowed himself down.

[...] Pat enclosed with her letter a list of three questions from a friend, Roger, dealing with mathematical formulae and requesting also that Seth give his mother’s maiden name. [...]

I would let you know that Ruburt is now, finally accepting life on its terms, and this is the reason for his recovery. [...]

The individual therefore deprives himself of the use of much of his ability. He does not consider it his own, and is astounded when any others of his race display such superior qualities.

[...] The woman being created from his rib symbolized the necessary emergence, even from the new creature, of the intuitive forces that will always come forth — for without that development the race would not have attained self-consciousness in your terms.

[...] Satan represents — in the terms of the story — the part of All That Is, or God, who stepped outside of Himself, so to speak, and became earthbound with His creatures, offering them the free will and choice that “previously” had not been available.

[...] There is always a give and take between the individual and the mass system of beliefs in which he has chosen his environment.

(Long pause.) The more stimuli, thoughts, desires and material of a diverse nature brought into the system—within reason—the greater the amount of material the inner self has to work with and put together in its own creative fashions—but do remember those sessions given that remind Ruburt that his body can indeed recover, that he can indeed trust his body’s processes, and that he should not compare his life with anyone else’s, but trust in the entire fabric of his existence, and you indeed should trust the entire fabric of your own. [...]

He does need to be generally aware of his own beliefs, however. The so-called Sinful Self is actually giving him a more or less handy list of stubborn older beliefs that clash with his new ones—beliefs that often go underground —and the “Sinful Self” is giving the rationale behind such beliefs. [...]

First of all, some of the ideas in the Magical Child book are excellent, and though he has not read the book thoroughly by any means, some new understandings have been reached through the use of those ideas and his own recent experiences by Ruburt.

[...] Ruburt’s relationship with his mother left much to be desired. [...]

In any case the “troublesome” material remained (long pause), relatively inactive more or less—unless and until certain situations arose, unless and until his curiosity and ability led him to actively challenge those ideas while also in a situation where the natural fear of abandonment might be implied or suggested. [...]

[...] Our material, and his own abilities, represented various kinds of trials, development and growth, and also implied various kinds of threats of different strengths throughout the years. [...]

[...] The artist was an important part of his society.

[...] The impetus to help you is a built-in one, also meant as a further stimulus to Ruburt in his work and in our work. [...]

[...] The yoga is good, a confrontation of Ruburt with his body, leading to a reconciliation. [...]

[...] Christ knew them, but they were thrown away by his followers. [...]

[...] It is very important that Ruburt, here, change his attitude toward his physical body – his own image of it.

Now it will help him to some important degree if he considers his arms and his hands in the following manner.

If Ruburt has the full plan for a book in his head, then this is real. [...]

[...] “Ruburt,” Seth commented, “is just beginning his own dream endeavors, which could not seriously start until he learned to have faith in his own being.” [...]

[...] He familiarizes himself with the symbolism of his own dreams, and sees how these do or do not correlate with the exterior symbols that appear in the waking life that he shares with others. [...]

(1. At the end of the paragraph of material begun at 10:35, where Seth touched upon the “withinness of consciousness”: I thought his data there echoed Jane’s own, as she recorded it in The Wonderworks.

(2. Then almost immediately after 10:39, when Seth referred to “chaos”: His rather sly emphasis on the word didn’t escape me. [...]

(I’d been commenting on her call tonight to a psychiatrist—Dr. Beahrs—who’d written her recently from Washington state, and of his informing her that another doctor out there is also using the Seth material ideas in dealing with her patients. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s “overly conscientious self” was indeed built up in response to his belief that he was, to begin with, overly enthusiastic, overly impulsive, overly spontaneous. [...]

[...] Very seldom did he yell back at his mother. [...]

[...] Ruburt, incidentally, had a natural abortion because the message was already in the body, and all of his worries and concerns were unnecessary. [...]

Ruburt in his Dialogues has an excellent example, in the way in which he allowed his feelings to arise, though he was initially frightened of them. Everyone cannot write poetry, but each person is creative in his or her own way, and can follow the emotions as Ruburt did whether or not a poem results.

(During the last few days, Jane has felt that she’s been picking up “advance” material from Seth on his book. [...]

[...] Some advance material was given to him for his own use ahead of time, so to speak.

As in the material that Ruburt received ahead of time for his own use, natural aggression is cleansing and highly creative — the thrust behind all emotions.

Mankind’s most majestic experiences, and his most unfortunate, still come from that same great creative force. [...] His brain and fingers are able to produce a painting because they are themselves formed of love. [...]

Without consciously knowing how his body performs such manipulations, he trusts it—the hands to hold the brush, the fingers to type or whatever, and the idea becomes reality. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The main, driving, clear, emotional intent in such a project is the author’s. The book is his baby. [...]

(A note: I think Seth inserted his remark about the books being in so many homes because our mail has rather strikingly reminded us lately of that fact; we’ve been talking about it.)

(David has told his parents of his yearnings toward this person, he said, and his father responded by telling him it was “all in his head.” [...]

(In our first talk I’d suggested to David that he write us a letter describing his attraction to this woman, and he called today to say that he was mailing such a missive, after rewriting it a couple of times. [...]

[...] I’d immediately suspected that he called us because he needed help that he wasn’t getting from his parents, but didn’t say this to him. [...]

[...] I didn’t really know whether his attraction to the woman involved had become obsessive, but did think elements of such a state were possibly involved. [...]
