“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: for Ruburt: a major tension block has begun to release itself—one that physically was largely responsible for the difficulties on the right side, and the lack of true body alignment. [...]

[...] Some of this may have been due to her lack of a normal home environment, without a father, we said, yet I felt there were strong independent elements in her personality that encouraged such behavior anyhow. [...] Jane lacked a countering influence to the priests. [...]

[...] His abilities have been developing rather rapidly of late, and this shows a basic inner improvement—a lack of previous blockage, that will soon be more distinguishable in physical terms.

Now in some cases a physical illness is the best solution for various reasons having to do with reincarnational influences, and the inner lack of balance of the personality. [...]

[...] One of the things Ruburt resents most about your mother is her lack of understanding of the nature of your artistic abilities. [...]

You both still lacked the communication of your desires and fears. [...]

[...] Others recognize these qualities quite well in you, and their lack of them. [...]

There is a compassion, a jovial yet understanding one, that I can feel for such activities that is more difficult for you to experience, but in many cases the drama—the gods or devils who seem (underlined) to speak through the board, the sense of importance felt by the participators, the heightened emotional activity—all of these provide often, rich elements of experience otherwise lacking from a mundane daily existence.

[...] Nevertheless, that which is obvious to me is not obvious, often, to you, and it is not too difficult for me to see why at times you appear to be lacking in faith when such predictions are made.

[...] Whenever an action seems to have but one effect, then there is a lack in perceptive abilities.

Your own attitudes, for example — and beliefs — about foreigners, Prentice-Hall, people’s stupidity and lack of integrity, put you in correspondence with those same beliefs on the part of others, resulting in the translation fiasco.¹ An entirely different kind of behavior could have been elicited from those same people. [...]

(The theme of the dream had interested me pictorially from the beginning, I told her, but I’d almost lacked the nerve to try a rendition of it in paint. [...]

[...] To some extent your own do-it-yourself attitudes kept you from such experience, and as long as Ruburt lacked it, and as long as you lacked it (with much more emphasis than I’d heard Jane use as Seth in a long time), you would both still have doubts about the nature of our own work as applied to such matters—and this goes beyond the confines of our work in ways I will try to clear later. [...]

[...] To some extent, then, reasoning—again, as you are familiar with it (underlined)—is the result of a lack of available knowledge. [...]

[...] That “reasoning” is necessary, however, because of the lack of a larger, immediate field of knowledge. [...]

In a strange way, determinism has always seemed lacking as a concept to Jane and me—for if it means what it’s supposed to mean, then surely human beings set up the parameters within which determinism is said to operate. [...]

If an individual is hampered in that attempt strongly and persistently enough, then the dissatisfaction and frustration will be translated into a lack of physical exuberance and vitality. [...]

[...] If you have decided upon a situation in which a critical organic lack or disability is involved, and are born with a severe disease, for example, then that is the context in which you will experience this particular focus in corporeal reality. [...]

[...] This is not a lack of belief or optimism, but an honest response at a given moment, and one that allows the body a natural release from tension. [...]

Your psychic work has given both of your lives an impetus, direction, challenge, and opportunities for accomplishment that in certain terms at least would otherwise be lacking.

[...] Ruburt’s general uncertainty and fears with the progress of his improvements led him to over-compensate, in muscular terms, causing lacks of balances otherwise unnecessary as the large areas of the neck and jaws began to relax and release.

[...] Some people believe that homosexuals and lesbians are “evil,” that somehow they lack the true qualities of humanness [and therefore need not be treated with normal respect]. [...]

You must realize that fanatics always deal with grandiose ideals, while at the same time they believe in man’s sinful nature, and the individual’s lack of power. [...]

They desire to be strong, then, while believing in a lack of personal strength. [...]

[...] Now various kinds of lacks can show up in many ways... [...]

[...] or lack of it.

[...] Now various kinds of lacks can show up in many ways—in mental deficiencies—a man or a woman who has strong and definite mental deficiencies—who has strong negative habits—such a person has blocks in those areas. [...]

I do not want you to have the attitude, however, or make the implication, that your health or status in any way automatically, and alone, is an indication of your spiritual wealth—or lack of it. [...]

[...] But if you find poor health, a lack of meaningful work, a lack of abundance, a world of sorrow and evil, then assume that your beliefs are faulty and begin examining them.

(Slower pace.) Fuel difficulties; not a lack of fuel, but the fuel was not getting where it should get. [...]

Your mother’s “condition,” you believe, involves a lack of communication. [...] Now your quite conscious interpretation of an apt kind of self-punishment was a lack of hand motion. [...]

Hinged to this is the belief that this felt lack of communication is wrong, and that for anything wrong you should be punished. [...]
