“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(9:36.) Initially, your conscious life followed the light of day. Now with artificial light this need not be the case. [...]

As many light snacks would actually be much better than three large meals a day, so short naps rather than such an extended period would also be more effective. [...]

In earlier periods of time, even though there were no electric lights for example, sleep was not long and continuous at night, for sleeping quarters were not as secure. [...]

What magicians we all are,
turning darkness into light,
transforming invisible atoms
into the dazzling theater
of the world,
pulling objects,
(people as well
as rabbits)
out of secret
microscopic closets,
turning winter into summer,
making a palmful of moments
disappear through time’s trap door.

Today is tomorrow, and present, past,
Nothing exists and everything will last.
There is no beginning, there was no end,
No depth to fall, no height to ascend.
There is only this moment, this flicker of light,
That illuminates nothing, but oh! [...]

[...] I suggested that you both use your creativity in that regard—again, a suggestion not lightly made. [...]

[...] All of those things are lost in the light of new achievement. [...]

[...] Some of that material will bring the reasons for his panic into clearer light, however, and so then will make even more sense than it might have a month ago. [...]

I am still in the process of trying to reassure him, of course, but in a fashion we are indeed dealing with a kind of biological logic that will stand up in its own light—that will produce its own evidence as you learn to accept the rightness of your bodies (pause), and their abilities, for they are natural healing mechanisms. [...]

[...] Last Saturday I bought over $30.00 worth of flower seeds, and I’m slowly trying them out in a variety of pots and containers to see which flowers do best under what circumstances—artificial light, natural light, etc. [...]

[...] It is important, however, that he remember what I said about inner motion in our last session: some return to light psychic experiences—the opportunity set aside for them. [...]

[...] He did perceive such a light (as I sensed)—the light of understanding.

[...] My hands felt very light and so did my shoulders. Light, then as if they were not there at all.

[...] All I saw was what you could expect — lights and reflections and things. [...]

[...] My body then was very light — weightless to me, anyway. [...]

[...] To me they were as light as air. [...]

[...] He was a light, and a light to you, and the light was not extinguished. The light will lead you into knowledge that you would not have known otherwise, nor would you have sought it as vigorously.

The child had no problems of his own to work out in this existence, but because of love and past relationships he came to act as a light to you both. [...]

2. Seth and Jane have both referred to faster-than-light effects in earlier books. [...] Albert Einstein, in his special theory of relativity, demonstrated that nothing else in the universe can quite reach — let alone surpass — the speed of light. Some physicists have theorized about certain faster-than-light “particles,” however, that by some unknown process are created traveling at such enormous velocities; thus in that way they try to get around the limits set by Einstein. There have also been recent astronomical observations of several far-distant objects that appear to be “superluminous,” or traveling considerably faster than the speed of light. [...]

[...] Intuitions deal with immediate experience of the most intimate nature, with subjective motions and activities that in your terms move far quicker than the speed of light, and with simultaneous events that your cause-and-effect level is far too slow to perceive.²

(“A string, as of lights, or pearls, in a string of succession, of items in succession.” We interpreted this as a possible reference to street lights at first, or a theater marquee, since the reunion was held at night, and nighttime travel would involve lights, etc. [...]

[...] She held it to her forehead in a horizontal position, lightly, without attempting to determine its contents by obvious feel, etc. [...]

[...] (Pause.) A string, as of lights, or pearls, in a string of succession, of items in succession.

[...] Driving into New York City by tunnel from New Jersey, I remember a long curving tunnel lit by strings of lights. [...]

(Jane had no idea of the material for the session as the time for it approached, although she said her arms felt a “little light” from the state she had achieved at 8:15 and later. [...]

[...] She held a lighted cigarette in the other hand.

(Jane was quite intrigued because she had no conception of darkness or light while delivering material. [...]

(December 29, Tuesday, 11:30 AM: Achieved a terrific sense of well-being, of suspension and lightness. [...]

[...] You should discuss them together in the light of the sessions, and with understanding. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) You have each of late allowed yourselves to see the situation in its poorest light—and that of course is part of the problem. [...]

[...] Use that suggestion in the meantime—with a light hand. [...]

(When I got to 330 today I found that the call light in Jane’s room hadn’t been working properly this morning, and now saw that it hung out of its fixture, half dismantled. [...]

(A repairman finally came to fix the call light, which meant Jane had to be covered while he was in the room. [...]

(“A connection with light.” [...] The Kecks brought special equipment to the Arnot with them to examine the gallery’s paintings; among this equipment was a certain kind of light. [...]

A connection with light. [...]

[...] The object is printed on card stock with a light cream tint, but not yellow. [...]

[...] The object is a rectangular item, of heavy paper or light card stock. [...]

3. As of several months later, though, Jane hasn’t remembered any dreams about the light….

This is from an artist who always used siennas for initial flesh tones, with a suggestion very lightly of violets. [...] The top complexion tone lay on this lightly, as if a wind could blow it away, and of course he suggests this. [...]

[...] The opaques can be used effectively to suggest the form, superimposed lightly over the transparent energy, but never with a heavy hand.

[...] While opaques may be used to suggest physical heaviness, transparents should be used also to show that in actuality rocks are as light as air, and to hint at the ever-mobile energy that forms them.

Now, pretend that you are on a lighted stage, the stage being the room in which you now sit. Close your eyes and pretend that the lights have gone out, the setting has disappeared and you are alone.

[...] Jane’s trance had been relatively light. [...]

[...] “I got that thing with the light again,” she said as soon as she finished by 3:00—meaning her vision was better, the colors brighter again. [...]

Out of the reservoir of light and darkness

[...] If you live in one country, you often consider natives in other areas of the world as foreigners, while of course they see you in the same light. [...]

[...] The watch itself might change shape, or turn heavy as a rock, or as light as a gas, so that you could not read the time at all. [...]
