“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This afternoon Jane said she’d learned from Seth that we’d come down with those indispositions because we wanted to use our bodies’ immune systems; those structures needed the workouts, in other words. [...]

[...] (The kittens had the same mother, but had come from successive litters.) I was 44 and Jane was 34, and in conventional terms both of us were still struggling—not only to learn about ourselves and the world, but to find our creative ways in that world. [...]

[...] Nor, in the dream, do I recall learning Teresa was going to give birth, even though I didn’t see her in it. [...]

(11:27.) You simply have not learned to use the rules in that level of your experience. [...]

(8:25.) Ruburt also learned more or less of the ambiguous results of the blood tests held previously (last week). [...]

[...] You certainly used it as a learning experience. [...]

[...] In certain terms, however, “at one time” you had to learn how to do these things that you are not now consciously concerned with. [...]

[...] To some extent you can learn to speak yourself with an accent, so to speak — say that I smiled — in which case, still being yourself, you allow yourself to take on some of the attributes of another “language.”

[...] It can hardly be a coincidence that this “opportunity” materialized shortly after we began our new program suggested by Seth, and what we’ve learned about our attitudes toward publicity, scorn and criticism, and go forth. [...]

Ruburt’s creativity not only involves that kind of behavior, but the mystic elements of the personality, meaning that the inner activity is very intense, so that Ruburt learned from a young age to develop a certain kind of secrecy. [...]

Traveling from one shore of it to another becomes a vast learning adventure, in which both sea and sky are observed in all of their moods and nuances while you are safely ensconced all of the while. [...]

[...] You have learned to venture forth into the physical universe. You have not learned to venture forth from an arbitrarily designated selfhood, into an extended environment that knows no space or time. [...]

[...] You will learn that it is possible, through no physical act (and underline that, through no physical act), to relinquish the physical body, expand the self, using atoms and molecules as stepping stones to a given destination, and reforming the physical body at the other end.

[...] The self begins learning its arbitrary limitations at the same time that it tries expansion in childhood. [...]

[...] Many of you are not ready to meet those kinds of data … for a certain kind of finesse is required — a balance that you are learning. [...]

[...] You are born into different races, into different cultures, with different — but the same — desires … There are many things that you are learning. [...]

[...] At the same time, the self would learn and be changed through the challenges and struggles of its human portions.

[...] Checking backward through past sessions and Jane’s poetry, I soon learned that her intuitive grasp of the term had always been truer than mine, for I’d carried the idea that “counterpart” implied a status of opposites rather than the complementary one it really does. [...]

[...] We are learning that our confusion stems from the unexpected and sometimes far-reaching turns that such connections can take.

[...] We will have to learn to be more selective.

(It would be a great help if I could learn to talk with my parents in a conversational way, about inconsequential things.

(This past week Jane learned the editor of Topper magazine that they had bought a short story of hers, The Mission. [...]

Frank (Longwell) is far more open-minded than most chiropractors or doctors, and he has learned much. [...]

[...] He learned to do this habitually. [...]

[...] What they learn they can tell others. [...]

[...] He controls such movements by not seeming to control them, and succeeds when certain inner disciplines that have been learned are given free rein.

You have no idea of the bulk of the material on the inner senses that is still to be covered, and until you have learned much more about them we cannot even begin any real discussion of many other units of activity, because it would be incomprehensible.

[...] I would suggest that you both learn to listen and to watch in a detached fashion that will allow the inner senses to operate in a beneficial fashion.

You have both used the material I have given you, and what you have learned on your own through that material very well—some of it so smoothly that you are not even aware of your accomplishments. [...]

(10:25.) A note: the two of you—for you are both involved since 1964—have not only initiated a new framework from which others, as well as yourselves, can view the nature of reality more clearly, but you also had to start from scratch, so to speak, to get the material, learn to trust it, and then to apply it to your own lives—even while “the facts were not all in yet.” [...]

[...] We have been aware of its relation to sound, since we soon learned while in the state that any sound, be it of running water somewhere in the house, or a robin’s call, would momentarily impart an upsurge to the sensation within the body. [...]

[...] It is the learning process that conditions you to translate a given stimuli into data that will be picked up by a given physical sense; that is, translations always occur in any case.

[...] The inhibition of physical motion obviously took place little by little, until he began to learn the truth — that human beings are meant to express all of their abilities, mental and physical, and that life is an arena of expression. [...]

[...] Then he began to learn the lessons that were needed — that life is expression, and that it is safe for him to move mentally and physically, using both his psychic, creative, mental and physical abilities to their fullest.

[...] Helping people who have died, in your terms, speaking to others who are quite alive, in the dream state, learning to understand and manipulate subjective realities. [...]

[...] Because you are learning then to become acquainted with the whole, or in your terms, to become acquainted with the entire reality of the soul as it has meaning to you. [...]

(10:41.) They learned quickly, and education was an exciting process, because this multisensuous facility automatically impressed information upon them not simply through one sense channel at a time but utilizing many simultaneously. [...] The inability to face up to violence and learn to conquer it meant, of course, that they also severely hampered a certain thrusting-out characteristic. [...]

[...] There’s no reason, now, to think we won’t learn of more. [...]

[...] With what he has learned, and with that emotional touchstone, he has indeed made good strides, which are quite obvious for both of you to see. [...]

[...] The therapist can help the client learn to question his or her personal interpretation of such events.

[...] I think it’s very dangerous to take too hard a position on anything we think we’ve learned as a species, for I can’t imagine that in future millennia we’ll ever cling to very much of it. [...] Learning about our abilities is a social and cultural affair, and you—anyone—need help. [...] Only where do you get the help while trying to learn a few things?

[...] I even agree that our challenges may well be successfully handled in one or more other probable realities, that in those terms that’s an entirely acceptable way for us to learn. [...] We have much to learn.

“To some extent tonight’s relatively brief session should remove senses of urgency on your parts, or of self-criticism, that make you question when or how [you] can ‘learn to make’ the magical approach work in any specific way—that is, why you cannot learn to make the approach work in, say, helping Ruburt’s condition in a faster, more effective fashion.”

9. In Psychic Politics, which Prentice-Hall published in 1976, Jane describes in detail how she learned about the many aspects of her psychic library.
