“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is material, buried in the files, that says clearly that our sessions began for many reasons—your joint desire to know, for example, and to probe together into the nature of reality. [...]

[...] It is dependent upon your own attitudes; how much publicity you want, and how you are jointly going to face the world.

So here’s to each one of us, willingly caught up as we are in the brilliance of this “now” even when we may think we’re not, exploring our individual and joint creation of reality in all of those uncountable variations that result in a seamless whole. [...]

The collection will include our family trees; my father’s journals and photographs; Jane’s and my own grade-school, high-school, college, and family data; our youthful creative efforts in writing and painting; the comic books and other commercial artwork I produced; our early published and unpublished short stories; my original notes for the sessions; session transcripts, whether published or unpublished, “regular,” private, or from ESP class; tapes, including those made in class of Jane speaking for Seth and/or singing in Sumari; our notes, dream records, journals, and manuscripts; our sketches and paintings; Jane’s extensive poetry; our business correspondence; books, contracts, and files; newsletters about the Seth material, published in the United States and abroad (independently of Jane and me); the greater number of letters from readers—in short, a mass of material showing how our separate beginnings flowed together and resulted in the production of a joint lifework.

If a practitioner who believed that Augustus was possessed then convinced Augustus of the “fact,” their joint charged beliefs might possibly work for a while. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The connection he did not get had to do with the television commercials on the Carson show; the pressure applied by the medical profession, telling you not to trust the body, and the man, Doc [Severinsen], who is the master of ceremonies in a big show—signifying nothing as per your joint overall interpretation of the show in particular. [...]

Again, it may seem too simple — but by applying the same methods to the body, the body’s health will be written with health and vitality, using blood and corpuscles, joints and ligaments and so forth instead of syllables, consonants, words and sentences.

[...] The feeling in the knees is most encouraging, and represents the new activity of joints coming to life again, as the result of the new responsiveness of those neck ligaments.

[...] Now later, but not in a distant future, your nap periods will be utilized for joint out-of-body work. [...]

[...] But through this, or because of it, a greater joint energy becomes possible in which all the abilities of your consciousnesses expand. [...]

[...] You can begin of course by free associating with any appropriate subject — his mother, his father, your relationship, your individual or joint sexual feelings, his ideas about his psychic material, his writing, or whatever — and I will also provide guidelines.

[...] You live in a joint reality. [...]

[...] He thought, or felt, that by taking on the symptoms of your joint problem, he could free you creatively, and was bewildered when it did not.

[...] I felt many reminders and remnants of the experience throughout the next day—Tuesday—especially in the arms and legs: They were often loose and floppy, with a peculiar lightness and ease of motion in the joints particularly. [...]

(Long pause.) The two of you mixed and matched your characteristics, and put them together in such a fashion that they would jointly form a completely new kind of creation, in terms of art and psychology, and this was bound to produce expansions of your consciousnesses, and stresses and strains, when you came across portions of your ideas that had not grown along with the rest of you. [...]

[...] On the other hand he resents the slightest inconvenience that is not connected with his goals, and rises up vehemently against even the slightest restraint that he considers beside the board, or aside from your joint and individual purposes.

[...] He felt you abandoned him as far as your joint concern with your work was concerned.

His symptoms would become then at times symbols of your joint lack of perfection, mainly in your works. His symptoms became a hanger upon which you could hang your joint dissatisfactions, his physical condition an easy mark to stand for what both of you considered inner imperfections; again, connected mainly with your creative endeavors.

[...] The flexing of the joints in her shoulders was especially noticeable—they moved like they were made of rubber, I told her, and she agreed that they felt fine doing this. [...]

Your love-making has been of benefit, and your continued attempts to jointly express love and affection verbally and physically is important —and to both of you particularly at this time. [...]

[...] Her lower legs swing back and forth perhaps four inches, so changes in the knee joints have occurred. [...]

[...] This also tightened ligaments, and inhibited joints, affecting of course even other areas. [...]

[...] It does not rest in either of you alone, but rises from joint psychological structures (intently) that you have formed together, each using what characteristics you could—psychological structures that you then can use to gain a viewpoint upon reality that is so unique. [...]

The experiences also kept him from becoming too embroiled in your mood at the time, and by giving him an experience of your own joint greater subjective reality. [...]

[...] But I ended up with the cold chills, and for the next week was in often severe pain in the joints and muscles. [...]
