“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When I come in this class I do so so that you realize the knowledge that is in the material comes through a personality, and that I am not some “ditto.” I have been here emotionally, hardly hidden in the folds of the curtains. I want you to realize that the material has been sifted through my experience. That the words are not dead, as indeed I am far from dead. A livelier spirit you have never encountered! The material, in other words, is given by me, a living personality, to you, and you are living personalities. We dwell in different dimensions but vitality and personality dwell in all dimensions. This room is saturated with my presence as if you had sprinkled it with that heady wine, aged wine. Indeed, I do not find it remarkable that you consider me a personality since, indeed that is what I am. Nor do I find it remarkable that you were not frightened. I do not consider myself a frightening phenomenon. Indeed, I find some of you much more frightening. I enjoy sitting here quietly, picking up your thoughts.

There is some understandable confusion there. Now, to end the suspense I will indeed shortly say good evening to you (after each previous trance we wondered if Seth would be back, since he hadn’t said good night, and he always says good night). Well, I am here, indeed I am here, and if you want to think of me as some UFO (earlier talking about someone mailing a card to Robbie, Jane and Seth, what or how would they address it), that is your privilege. When Ruburt receives my energy, often he does not know what to do with it. It radiates out from that small frame. He thinks that the energy collects about him until it could shatter the walls of the room. I can see the timbers falling upon your heads. A timberhead.

He is learning to contain and focus the energy that is mine. Would you prefer that I be as silent and solitary and quiet as a tiny pin that sits upon the blue rug? I can prick you all indeed and cut you up. Only because I make you think, do not ever believe that I would have you forget your banking [sic] intellect, for this is not the case, and if there is much I have not said to you, it is because you know already what I would say to you. I want you to realize that all personality exists beyond what you call the grave, and that what I am has been here in many guises, as indeed, so have you. And that the personal characteristics by which I have been known continue.

I should be a bishop, for the looks upon your faces, the reverence and the quiet and the awed expression. I am indeed honored. I feel, and I do indeed feel, as you with the perpetual motion leg will know, like a friend to all of you this evening and hardly like a bishop. Nor would I think of shattering a window to prove so paltry a point as the existence of my own unlimited vitality and energy. For my friend Ruburt would never allow it. However, my thoughts are strong. My only point in such unseeming [sic] and undignified, unbusinesslike and unconventional demonstration—I would make a poor bank president—my only point is to let you know that existence knows no barriers and a breeze and ease through blood and bone are born [sic]. I could and I would—and I would—enjoy speaking in such a manner until dawn, but you could never take it, and Ruburt would hide in the cellar for three days following.

The ego is indeed but one part of the self that speaks for the other portions of the self, but when it tries to speak for itself only, then indeed its words become meaningless, and the words become threats to the rest of the self. [...]

However, we have among us this evening indeed a secondary personality, a strong and savage one. [...] It is hardly worth it, for the personality must be led to see that it itself has created the ulcer, both psychologically and physically, in most actual terms, and that it itself can indeed cast it out.

I find myself once more literally blackmailed by your human limitations, since I could indeed go on much longer. But I am indeed in sympathy with your precious fingers, and the fatigue of the present group. [...]

For with such witnesses we can indeed do very well. I remember most regretfully your worries the other evening, and I will therefore endeavor (louder) not to give any demonstrations that may be embarrassing to you personally, or indeed that will cause you any uneasiness.

[...] I could indeed go on, myself, like this for hours but I shall take into consideration your human failings and I know you need such things as sleep. I am indeed coming through very well this evening, very well, however, and if I may say so I am in somewhat of a frisky mood. [...] You must realize that basic reality is joyful and that the way of life upon which I hope you shall embark is joyful, and if my actions and communication can show you this then I have done well indeed. [...]

[...] May I say that I do indeed enjoy this situation, now being indeed the only gentleman present. [...]

I offer my heartiest regards and I do indeed offer those blessings which are mine to give. [...] I will not forget you for now I feel I know you all very well indeed. [...]

Your idea of reality will indeed begin to change and you must learn to manipulate within the new system as you learn of it for the old rules will no longer apply. [...]

[...] And if I took time out for this discussion, it is indeed because for once I have grown impatient. For much of this on Ruburt’s part is indeed pretense—not conscious pretense, but pretense. He knows full well not only the importance of the sessions, personally, but he knows the far-reaching consequences of these sessions, and he is indeed quite able to deal with the consequences.

I must here express my gratitude indeed that Ruburt deign to allow this unscheduled session, particularly since we missed our own last scheduled one. But I shall not badger him, as I believe indeed he badgers himself enough. [...]

[...] And I would also like to mention the fact that indeed the woman in our gathering, Aniac, does indeed have abilities that are not being used, and possibilities for energy focus which she would do well to explore.

[...] He does indeed give acquiescence for these sessions, and I am indeed fond of you both. [...]

The other man was not involved with any of you in past lives, nor do I see him indeed at all in England in any era. Instead the Mediterranean area in the 1500’s, and it is from this period that his present speech impediment indeed originated.

[...] A sense of guilt enduring psychologically since the 1500’s is indeed carrying conscience just a bit too far. He has more than made up for the original offense, which was indeed understandable under the circumstances.

Since I will not give a session simply to give a session, and because I will not let Ruburt parade me as part of his precious subconscious, I will indeed here speak for myself, but in terms that will help another and for the benefit of that other. And despite our anxious Ruburt’s furious attempts to block me, I will indeed say that the person who was once betrayed by the personality involved was the present father of the personality, and he knows it—

[...] He returned to reassure himself that he had indeed paid this subconscious debt, as indeed he had. [...]

[...] He is a part of who he says he is, as indeed I am. [...] I am coming in very quietly indeed, so that I do not startle or frighten Ruburt. [...]

Rightness is indeed pleasure, yes. All pleasure—all true pleasure—is indeed right. [...]

[...] I would prefer some lively conversation and I am indeed open to any questions that you might have.

It is indeed.

Indeed, I should not be harsh, and I do not mean to be. [...] Ruburt, who cooperates with me so well, still is not certain that I am I. So indeed, how shall I blame others? I am hampered indeed, for whenever I speak in tones of ordinary conversation, then indeed I cause these poor people hours of notetaking. [...]

[...] There are some things that I can indeed do, and I will do what I can. Nevertheless the fact remains that I am indeed extending myself, and my dear doctor it is science which is not extending itself, and it is science that will not meet reality halfway.

[...] You wanted a voice display, and so indeed shall you have it. And what indeed will such a display show? [...]

[...] You will indeed live many years yet, before we meet face to face. And when we do meet face to face then indeed, if you will most respectfully forgive me, there will be hell to pay.

[...] I am no poet but then thinking of one of Ruburt’s poems, then think of the brain, indeed, as a web you form about the inner self. A web works to help you manipulate in a world of space and time which is, indeed, as nebulous and as precarious, and as delicate, as any spider’s web, and hangs indeed in as precarious a balance. [...]

(To Theodore) And sometime, for example, you will be able to travel through your tapestry and realize they are illustrations, as indeed you do, but realize it more vividly so you can experience the reality behind them. [...]

[...] We brought spices up to Denmark, and we had delightful trips, indeed. [...]

[...] The atoms and molecules have a pulsating nature that you do not usually perceive so what seems to you to be a continuous atom or molecule is, indeed, a series of pulsations that you cannot keep track of. [...]

[...] It is indeed true that you find yourself by losing yourself. You are indeed a part of All That Is. When you attempt to concentrate on the tiny I that you imagine yourself, then indeed you do not know where you are and you cannot find yourself. [...]

[...] There is indeed a complication arising in part from past-life connections, but also in the early background of the woman involved. [...] I will also go into another matter of which you have spoken, and it was I indeed who gave Ruburt the insight today into a certain aspect of that problem. [...]

We were, indeed. Our slight friend Ruburt here was indeed upon occasion, a rather lecherous old fellow, and I was a saintly type. [...]

Now I am coming to you briefly for a very simple reason—to let you know you are indeed welcome here and that you do not bother our friend Ruburt. [...]

[...] Instead you were indeed perceiving in your own fashion what was happening here for the entire evening. You are well aware of any changes that occur as far as Ruburt’s own abilities are concerned, or any offshoots, say, from our sessions or work; and so though you were not here physically, you did indeed participate.

They have indeed. They have indeed. [...]

Indeed. (Humorously.) And a very high lieutenant indeed, I will have you know.

She was indeed Sumari. (To Rob:) And the information that you were discussing at suppertime will indeed be given, and in altered fashion. [...]

[...] Eyes wide, Jane smiled.) And because it is April Fool’s Day, then indeed I give you all a special greeting, and I know that you will not take offense. It is only because of my great esteem for you, and my feeling toward your problems, that I do not allow myself full freedom this evening, for the matter of the voice could indeed be quite unrestrained.

[...] (Pause; smile.) I feel indeed like a merry old gentleman, sitting here with his cronies. Ruburt’s trance state has improved indeed, but having opened the door, oftentimes he does not know how to close it. [...]

You were indeed.

(John went over the points covered so far, and did indeed agree on many of them. [...]

[...] And to believe that you have done such a thing is indeed pitiful. To bring yourself to do such a thing, when this is what you believe, is indeed pitiful. [...] For Dr. King indeed exists. [...]

[...] You are indeed in very strong respects within a dream. [...] You have focused so strongly upon physical reality that it has become, indeed, reality. [...]

I came this evening because we had a guest and also because you would know that I had not indeed deserted you. [...] Now, I do indeed give you my heartiest regards and wishes, and were it not for Ruburt’s wishes and the lateness of the hour and his concerns about the neighbors, I would continue. [...]

[...] I should not joke about him for he is indeed as he said earlier, delighted. [...]

[...] And wherefore does it come, and how, indeed, do these elements reach into my beings and down into my roots? [...] But if it is a fancy tale, it would behoove you to listen, for the moment that the flower says, “I deny, therefore, I deny the sunlight or the rain,” then the flower, indeed, would deny the grace of existence. [...]

The painting, indeed, did help. She wanted to make herself known, and through the painting you let her know that, indeed, she had. [...]

[...] You have been doing very well and you have, indeed, learned and put into application some of the things that were told to you in class. [...]

Now, in the winter time our poor idiotic flower seems, indeed, to be dead. [...]

More energy indeed can be held in the personal subconscious in such a manner than can be used in studying other areas of the inner self, for it is in the personal subconscious that energy blockage most frequently occurs. [...] I would indeed suggest however that this half- hour schedule not include your weekends.

I am speaking now of the basic nature of reality, and not of any particular action, for particular actions can indeed be altered by other actions, and no given action occurs in a solitary manner.

[...] They are indeed relating to that reality very well. [...]

[...] Your trouble of yesterday and today does indeed originate because you have not been painting, but one of the reasons that you have not been painting is that energy has been used as a searchlight into the past, searching for certain origins.

I am indeed glad to see that you are all in such high spirits. For a spirit I am indeed in a rather high mood myself.

All layers of the personality are indeed conscious layers. [...] As a rule when you are awake you do not know your sleeping self; you know your neighbors far better, so your sleeping self appears mysterious indeed. [...]

[...] We shall indeed have you, Joseph and Ruburt, working in your sleep, as Ruburt earlier remarked, and you shall be glad of it. [...]

Now there are indeed connections between these two conditions. [...]

[...] There is one question however that I will indeed answer now, and it has to do with the delight with which he views fire.

[...] I shall indeed answer some of your questions myself. [...]

That was a small yes indeed. [...]

I am indeed.

[...] The ego is indeed many things. [...] In relationship to action, and moment points, the ego is indeed that portion of the self which stands at the apex of the moment point, and is limited by the moment point. [...]

Your whole concept of time is built about your own capacity for perceiving action; as this capacity for perceiving action grows, so indeed do the dimensions of time grow. Conceivably therefore one moment of your time would indeed be experienced by the whole self as centuries.

A note here: Ruburt may try the psychological time experiments twenty minutes daily; and indeed yes, the time of the day should be uniform. [...] And indeed, for your own edification your life in general will be much more comfortable within what I would call a short time; though to you this may be two years, before a noticeable change is apparent.

There is much to be explained along many lines which we have only begun to touch upon, for all things are correlated; and there is indeed a correlation between our moment points of which we have spoken, the spacious present, and that portion of the whole self which you call the subconscious.

[...] Now every nail is indeed in its own way responsive to stimuli. [...] A nail may not choose to jump down from a window still and dance about the room, but a nail is indeed aware of the room, of the window sill, and aware of the temperature on both sides of the window. [...] Indeed, a dance is executed of great symmetry and rhythm. The nail, then, is indeed filled with its own sense of self-approval.

[...] I may or may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I speak, et cetera, but I do indeed accelerate those coordinates that quicken Ruburt’s healing processes. [...]

[...] It seems I must be saying something very horrible to put you all on edge for you seem so solemn, indeed. [...] It would lead me to believe that to be alive must be a dreadful state indeed! [...]

It is indeed, but what you do not understand is that your so-called subconscious is highly conscious, you simply are not aware of it consciously. [...] You have been told that you cannot know what happens to you when your body sleeps, but you can, indeed. [...]

[...] It takes a while to understand who and what you are, and while you are learning it is often very handy to have someone else tell you and say you are this and so, you can do this and this and this and this is good and this is bad, as you indeed tell children. [...]

Now, if there is one thing I try to do in these sessions, again through my personality as I show you, and that is an old (words lost)is to show you that spontaneity is important and that death is not the ending that you suppose, and that no hobblegoblins are waiting to get you when you die, and that you are going to be very busy when you are finished with this existence as indeed I am still busy. [...]

It is indeed quite time for us to discuss the true nature and reality of what is so loosely called suggestion. We have indeed spoken much concerning the focus of energy, and a sufferer is truly entranced with the idea of his illness, and it is only this which basically allows the illness to continue. [...]

I know that indeed our last session so involved you, Joseph, in lengthy notetaking, and typing chores. [...]

The ulcer problem can indeed be solved by the personality himself. [...]

Now indeed we will overcome our Ruburt’s poor suggestions.
