“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You might say that the varying portions of your own consciousness operate at several different speeds. Translations between one portion of consciousness and another goes on constantly, so that information is translated from one “speed” to another. Perhaps you can begin to understand, then, that the whole picture of health or illness must be considered from many more viewpoints than you might earlier have supposed. Many of you have been saturated by conventional, distorted ideas concerning health and illness in general. You might think, for example, of the body being invaded by viruses, or attacked by a particular disease, and these ideas, then, may make you question. You might well wonder why the body consciousness does not simply rise up and cast off any threatening diseases: why would the body allow certain cells to go berserk, or outgrow themselves? The very concept of the immunity system suggests, at least, the disease invader against which the body’s immunity system must or should surely defend itself.

[...] I do not feel invaded by the selves or identities that compose me, nor do they feel invaded by me — any more than the trees, rocks, and grass would resent the mountain shape (intently) into which they have grown.

[...] The table between Joseph and myself (Jane, in trance, sat with her feet upon our long narrow coffee table) does not feel invaded by the invisible particles that compose it. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Your body does not feel as if you invade it. [...]

(Long pause at 3:49.) Instead of the drama I just outlined, you may instead see invading armies, attacking home troops. In such a case, see the invaders being driven off. [...]

[...] There may be further complications, in which the person insists that phones were bugged, letters opened, and privacy was constantly invaded.

[...] He may be told that he has a virus, so that it seems his body itself was invaded despite his will. [...]

[...] He is usually convinced instead that his body has been invaded by a virus despite his own personal approval or disapproval — despite his own personal approval or disapproval (most emphatically). [...]

Now there were invading forces from the north and you moved ahead of them, warning the people; and sometimes because of your clairvoyant abilities you could tell just where the invading forces would be in a particular area. [...]

You think of viruses as evil, spreading perhaps from country to country, to “invade” scores of physical mechanisms. [...]

(Long pause.) People have been taught that their bodies are a kind of battleground, and that they must be in a constant state of readiness lest they be attacked or invaded by alien germs or viruses or diseases that can strike without warning.

[...] You can instead—anyone can, that is—allow unsynchronized material from probabilities to adversely affect prime natural data, so that the safety of the moment becomes invaded by events that in certain terms have no prime reality.

[...] If you overreact to unsynchronized events, then they can invade prime data—and a state of anxiety results.

[...] People who are afraid that their nation will be invaded by an enemy will often also consider viruses or diseases to be enemies, ever about to threaten their personal survival. [...]

[...] That reality invades no other. As in the analogy given this evening, the spirit of no island invaded any other, but looked momentarily and with permission through another’s picture of reality.

[...] These events must interact with each other on many levels: The revolution in Iran came to a head with a change of leadership in February 1979, after a ruler long favorable to the United States had been deposed; the accident at TMI took place in March 1979; the American hostages were taken in Iran in November 1979; Russia invaded Afghanistan at Christmastime 1979; and less than 10 months later Iraq invaded Iran. [...]

Just as the native mujahedin—resistance fighters—of Afghanistan consider it their religious duty to battle the Russian invaders (even while thousands of their countrymen take refuge in Pakistan to the east and in Iran to the west), so do the Iranian fundamentalists think it their religious duty to export their revolution until an Islamic empire extends from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf.

[...] Had I begun writing books, Ruburt would have been appalled, thinking that I was invading his province. [...]

Now Ruburt is not invaded when I speak. [...]

[...] They will not allow it to invade their world, even though they may say they seek such evidence. [...]

[...] Iraq invaded Iran on September 23; on November 4 also, the president of Iraq proclaimed that his country is prepared to fight a long war for the recognition of its “rights” by Iran.

[...] I don’t feel ‘possessed’ or ‘invaded’ during sessions. [...]

[...] A man is not an animal, then, nor does he invade, say, the body of one.

Selling door to door had to him the subjective advantage in that he was master of the situation, and was indeed the invader. [...]

[...] But citadels not only keep out invaders, they also prevent expansion and development.
