“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I might also add that we recently learned of other people hearing Seth’s strong voice during the unscheduled 190th session. [...] A couple of days ago Jane and I learned that other people in our apartment house heard the voice, and were quite curious.

(This afternoon Jane called her publisher, Frederick Fell, and was pleased to learn that he liked her ESP book very much. [...]

(The next day, January 28, after some debate, Jane called Ace in an effort to learn the status of the dream book. [...]

(Don was delighted to learn about the sale of the Seth material to Prentice-Hall, and urged Jane to stress this sale to the dream book editor, Evelyn Grippo, in the letter he suggested Jane write.

I’m not saying that we shouldn’t apply what we learn to the ordinary world. [...]

I’m learning that both elements are important in my work and in Seth’s. And perhaps my own refusal to accept pat answers leads me to search so intensely, and is responsible to some degree for my “bringing in” a Seth instead of a Mad Hatter.

[...] I believe now that they are among those usually present at unconscious levels; but in order to expand the potentials for the creative act as much as possible, I would like to see others learn to cultivate such visions and perceptions on a deliberate, conscious basis. [...] There is much to be learned here.

[...] That intuitive faculty will then illuminate the intellect so that it learns to question in a broader, more exciting and productive manner than perhaps it did before.

[...] You must learn more about the slant of your own consciousness before you are in a position to ask truly pertinent questions about the reality that you perceive.

[...] He no longer merged his awareness, so that he learned to look at a tree as one object, where before he would have joined with it, and perhaps viewed his own standing body from the tree’s vantage point. [...]

Now he began to draw and sketch, and to learn how to build images in the mind that were connected to real exterior objects in the presently accepted manner. [...]

[...] We want our country and the world to benefit from those lessons, but at the same time we’re terribly afraid and concerned that our species won’t learn quickly enough. [...]

[...] The sacrifice of, say, thousands of lives in a nuclear accident almost becomes justified in their minds if it is a means toward the grandiose goal of learning how to ‘triumph over nature.’ Again, this intent automatically turns them into mechanics.

[...] You will still learn to give yourself, your intuitions, the upper hand in your work, Joseph, so that the form and the technique, so beautifully plastered, is secondary, and flows automatically from the idea.

[...] He will learn to operate within this new trance state quickly. [...]

“Later,” in quotes, he learns to become one or the other of those quote “future” selves by leapfrogging, so to speak, from one thread to the other.

This is the lesson that All That Is had to learn, and that could not be taught. [...]

[...] But that’s not right either,” she added, meaning there was much more to be learned.)

You are learning. [...]

[...] It has resulted in a greater freedom in our sessions because the two of you together discussed your conscious beliefs about sessions, and Ruburt learned that many of his previous beliefs here were limited.

Those of you who cannot practically make any alterations in sleeping habits can still obtain some benefits by changing your beliefs in the areas discussed, learning to recall your dreams and resting briefly when you can, and immediately afterward recording those impressions that you retain.

[...] You must learn to believe in the goodness of your being. [...]

(Pause at 8:30.) His fears have to a strong extent come out into the open: the fear that he will not be able to go ahead or of blockage, that fear being physically translated—but again, it stands for an inner fear that he has creatively blocked, or psychically blocked, that he has learned—that his own fears stand in his own way and cannot be resolved, or that he is at an impasse. [...]

[...] The fears and difficulties may be deeply ingrained, but they are largely learned. [...]

[...] Learning is always possible. [...] These sessions are certainly speeding up your learning process, and they are in themselves naturally the result of your inner expectations.

[...] Once you learn, you will express your emotions freely as you go about your day.

[...] The Sumari language in those terms will be used as a method of carrying you further into the nature of inner cognizance, and then allowing you to return again, retranslating what you have learned, not automatically into the stereotyped verbal pattern.

1. I want to note here that at the same time Jane and I decided to buy the hill house, we learned that the house next door, to the west, would soon be for sale; because of a job transfer its owner would be moving with his family to California this summer. [...]

[...] Then on Thursday we learned that he’d bought the place across the street from the hill house. [...]

(I learned that “evolution” can mean many things.¹ Like variations on a theme, it can be progressive or relatively sudden, convergent or divergent. I also learned that once I began to study it, a great amount of material presented itself seemingly without effort on my part, the information ranged all the way from paleontological studies to current biological research on recombinant DNA, and I found it in newspapers, scientific journals and popular magazines, in books and even on television. [...]

[...] This is what your civilization is learning that you cannot rape your planet, that life did not begin as some isolated [substance] that in the great probabilities of existence met another [similar substance], and another, and then another, until a chain of molecules could be made and selves formed. [...]

[...] They are a by-product of the learning process, created by you, in themselves quite neutral … Illness and suffering are the results of the misdirection of creative energy. [...]

I have mentioned before that everyone within your system is learning to handle this creative energy; and since you are still in the process of doing so, you will often misdirect it. [...]

(Pause.) I told you some time ago that miracles were simply nature unimpeded, and Ruburt is learning to give his nature freedom, so that it can follow the greater ways of its own knowledge —therefore freeing his body so that it can behave in a more natural and normal fashion. [...]

From their parents they learn to pare down the dimensions of their own practically accepted personhood. [...]
