“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Taken for granted also is a life relationship with another, and a determination to work out problems within that context; again, a loyalty and love that many have not yet attained. For all of your problems, each of you take your life relationship and your life journey as your lot, accepting the loyalty of the other without question.

[...] His life is his “work.” This includes his particular, unique, extraordinary abilities; but these spring out of his life, and even out of his relationship with you.

[...] Ruburt has been trying to dam his spontaneity to make sure it flows only through his work, and in doing so has hampered both his life and his work.

[...] Others should be left to their own devices in life, etc., etc....)

The session had been an impromptu one, and developed on our last night in Marathon because we’d been worrying about our goals in life, and how significant a part the Seth material might play in our affairs. We’d felt strong attractions toward what seemed to be a simpler, more open and pleasant life in the Keys, where the weather was excellent all year, and living in a trailer was an accepted way of life. [...]

[...] A generalized fear and suspicion is generated, and life too often becomes stripped of any heroic qualities. [...]

[...] You cannot disconnect one area of life from another. [...]

Earth life is seen as murky, a dim translation of greater existence, rather than portrayed as the unique, creative, living experience that it should be. [...]

[...] How many uncounted quadrillions of times has that transference from “life” to “nonlife” taken place just on our planet alone? And I don’t believe that anyone has tried to cope with questions of life and death any more valiantly than Jane did.

[...] Now I enlarge upon that idea by stating that such processes should be studied amid the earth’s even larger life-and-death cycles — those making up that “flickering gentle glow” my mythical observer would see from space. I think that eventually we’ll regard all life upon our planet — or upon any other — in such terms, that we’ll be led to do so by our own needs and creative curiosity. [...]

Without taking into account here the essences of other life forms, do I think the human personality survives physical death? [...]

[...] I cannot believe that in matters of life and death my psyche would be so foolish as to indulge in wish fulfillment, relaying to me only those ideas it “thinks” I want to consciously know. [...]

[...] The great — the greatest creative force — that force that is the origin for all physical life — did not suddenly appear once in some distant past, sparking the birth of your reality, endowing it with an energy that could only then run down, or dissipate. [...]

[...] While there is indeed pain in the world, it is the miraculous principle of pleasure that propels life itself.

The whole idea was developed in the most mechanistic of terms, stressing competition among all aspects of life, pitting one life form against another, and using physical strength and dexterity, swiftness and efficiency, as the prime conditions for the survival of any individual or species.

The magnetism is both from past life experiences, and set up ahead of time in this life, so that the both of you would be drawn together and held together, despite the fact of no personal family, no children as a common interest.

[...] Because of your past-life connections—and I will see to it that you get this material—he chose to put all his eggs in one basket, so to speak, as you did. But he also chose to divest himself of any distracting family references in later life, as far as his own parents were concerned.

As I will tell you, these goals have strong connections in past lives, and in this life you each gave yourselves powerful psychological charges to insure that these goals would be followed through. [...]

[...] Both of you decided that you would have no children, not only because this fit in with the first goal, but because the energy connected with family life would go into your creative productions, would be saved and available when you began to embark upon the psychic work for which you had also planned.

[...] The ideas I have given you will bring that form to free life, however, if you use them. Your emotional life has already been enriched of late with the interactions with Ruburt. [...]

[...] In your early life you learned the discipline of form, most necessary. [...]

Wheat fields for example, filled not only with the vitality of sun and growth but bristling with creativity that (in quotes) “destroyed” each part of itself in death, that was transformed instantaneously into a new spectacular form in which the creativity and destruction were always apparent, and yet one in which violence was necessarily turned into life.

In the life of the psyche a dream is no more or less “true,” whether or not it is duplicated in waking life. [...]

Some of you may try to remember your dreams, but none of you have to relate to dream reality as you must to physical life.

You take dreaming for granted, yet it is the result of a characteristic ability that is responsible for the very subjective feeling that you call conscious life. [...]

[...] It demands much more of its people, however, for in a large manner each must pick and choose from amid a variety of life-styles and beliefs his and her own platform for daily life and action.

[...] They become fanatics when they ignore the rights of others, and when they defile life in a misguided attempt to understand it (see Session 850, with Note 3).

[...] To some extent capital punishment is the act of a fanatical society: The taking of the murderer’s life does not bring back the victim’s, and it does not prevent other men from [committing] such crimes. [...]

[...] In a last life she died fairly early, and she would not face life, she did not want to hold on. [...]

They, your parents, are done with each other, your mother being more honest than your father in this respect. (Long pause.) Her rage, you must understand, is the other face of life, vitality and love, and she will not give up her demands. [...]

[...] Your kind of life would drive her mad. [...]

[...] Your intimate life and his biological periods will also improve now, but he must continue what he has been doing in connection with your parents. [...]

Sometimes you blame others, your own background, or a previous life — if you accept reincarnation. You may hold God or the devil responsible, or you may simply say, “That is life,” and accept the negative experience as a necessary portion of your lot.

[...] You are so intimately connected with the physical events composing your life experience that often you cannot distinguish between the seemingly material occurrences and the thoughts, expectations and desires that gave them birth.

If there are strongly negative characteristics present in your most intimate thoughts, if these actually form bars between you and a more full life, still you often look through the bars, not seeing them. [...]

[...] They will also challenge you, and bring into your life expansion and alterations of consciousness of a most rewarding nature.

A core belief is invisible only when you think of it as a fact of life, and not as a belief about life; only when you identify with it so completely that you automatically focus your perceptions along that specific line.

[...] (Pause.) Core beliefs are those about which you build your life. [...]

[...] You may narrow your life still further, all information of any kind finally becoming relatively invisible to you unless it touches upon your parental reality.

[...] This in itself forces you to concentrate your attention in one direction only, and discourages you from perceiving the events in your life in other fashions.

[...] What do you think of yourself, your daily life, your body, your relationship with others? [...]

[...] You can then realize that you have cowered before contradictory beliefs for years, rise up in anger against them, and quite literally begin a new life of freedom. [...]

[...] Aggressiveness leads to action, to creativity and to life. [...]

[...] He spends his life trying to hide what he thinks of as aggressive — violent — behavior, and trying to be understanding and kind instead. [...]

[...] One life was in a country close to what you now call Palestine, I believe approximately 832 A.D., and in this life the accident occurred.

[...] There were two children then, and he is in this life closely acquainted with three individuals who were close to him in the past existence.

[...] 1872, a very brief life as a woman, dying at age 33 in childbirth. [...]

[...] The nearest I can come now is that one life was concerned with the occupation of a boatsman, of rather small craft, skirting near the shores of the Mediterranean.

[...] All else in life would flow from that balanced creative free state of being. [...] Then decisions can be easily made about what activities to pursue in daily life: what books to write, how to deal with the public, etc.” [...]

(Pause.) In later life the trend continued, as per many examples at 458 (and as we have discussed today). [...]

[...] The idea of a public life—to some extent, now—has hung over his head, so to speak, almost like a threat. [...]

[...] You both felt a sense of schism between Ruburt’s physical condition and a hypothetical image of Ruburt as someone getting my material and ideally embodying it, so that if not perfect at least the main aspects of the life were smoothed out without contrasts. [...]

[...] The movie (on television last night), about cloning and Nazi atrocities, had made you wonder about the nature of life once again, and man’s immortality. [...] The lights connected life and death, then. [...]

(Pause at 9:06.) So-called empty spaces, either in your living room between objects, or the seemingly empty spaces between stars, are physical representations—or misrepresentations—for all of space is filled with the units of consciousness, alive with a light from which the very fires of life are lit.

Instead of the test, you are greeted with a vision of the shimmering glass with its glowing colors and prisms, rich and intricate, representing the true source of life and sexuality itself—the vast multidimensional mosaic of which sexuality is but one facet. [...]

[...] You add on to, or build up your own reality, in other dimensions throughout your physical life.

[...] It was seen in human terms as inhumane: life without reason, life with no purpose except its own repetition, life in which the individual was dispensable. [...] The individual shouts that his life does indeed have meaning, while the scientists until now have vehemently stated otherwise. [...]

[...] Life was not trusted. [...]

Now when either of you, or both of you, feel that there might be something wrong in spending your time thinking, writing, painting, or worse, daydreaming, you feel that way because your way of life meets some conflict from old Darwinian and Freudian beliefs: you should be out there in the world—active, competing, or even just riding bicycles. [...]

And when you realize that you form the events of your life, in the same way that you form the events of a dream, then you learn to grasp a hold of your entire consciousness and to take a hold of the life that is your own in whatever aspect it shows itself. [...]

[...] For if you believe you exist only within the context of this life, that you are born only to death and annihilation, then you will not use your freedoms in this existence, and you deny their abilities when they show themselves, and no one forces this bondage upon you but yourself. [...]

[...] Whether or not you remember your dreams, for example, a certain portion of you, under hypnosis, could remember every dream that you ever had in your life and so a certain portion of you remembers those nonmoments when you are not focused in physical reality, when your existence is in another dimension of actuality entirely and you were perceiving what I call, in your terms of reference, pardon me, nonintervals. [...]

[...] Have I, in a past life, died by water?”)

(After a serious discussion of the search for truth, life after death, religious backgrounds, etc. [...]

[...] There was a Spanish life in the 17th century and one in what is now California in the early 1800’s. You have been twice a woman and three times a man. [...]

[...] Your beliefs will affect your future life until you realize it is not true. [...]

[...] Life and consciousness are joyful. [...]
