“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now I want you all to ease up and realize that you are also your entities now. The deeper self wants you to become familiar with its own identity. The reincarnational material is excellent, but many of you have been overemphasizing it so that it serves to set up separations within you, and you think in terms of separate selves and this is not the case. That is why I want you to be more open this week. To listen uncritically. To not set the bands or questions of any specific nature but to listen as you go about your day. To listen to the day.

All plants have minds. They may not have physical brains but they all have minds of their own as you would interpret it, and they are highly active. There are many more experiments that you can do, and I hope that you will, with the nature of plant activity and consciousness. It will help you all to get out of yourselves to some extent and for the following week for regular students there is something that I want you to do, and it is this. For one week stop asking questions of the universe and simply listen to what it has to say to you. As soon as you ask questions, you are necessarily directing information in a certain manner which is all right, but for counterpoint this week simply listen.

Now the universe speaks in many voices, and it can indeed speak through a leaf if you have the wits to listen. Then you can learn much. It can speak in the silence of a room if you have the wits to realize that beneath sound there is what our friend, the physicist over here, might call antisound. That beneath the sounds that you hear there are other sounds, and I do not simply mean beneath the range of your hearing. At times you fill the atmosphere, as you think of it, with questions and with noise and you demand answers. Yet all the time far more important messages are there for you if you would once forget your questions and simply listen. Concepts that you have not thought of are there for you.

It is not beyond the range of the readers and none of them are beyond Ruburt’s students either, and now I will listen and see how you did on your assignment. I listened to you this evening. You do not listen to me. [...]

Listen to the silence between words and feel the feelings that are between your own thoughts and recognize the difference between what you feel and what you tell yourselves you feel and then you can begin to proceed. [...]

Now you learned as much this evening listening to each other speak as you would have learned from what I had to say. [...]

[...] Be still—listen—listen to the voices within you that you have not listened to. [...] You have gained much wisdom, but you do not listen. [...]

[...] Be still and listen to your inner voice. [...]

[...] You must look inward and listen. [...]

“I saw last week as Bill started to speak, the class swerved, and everybody looked and listened to the new teacher, hoping that he would have the new answers; that if you couched your questions differently he would give you the answers. [...] You listen and it sounds great, but you ignore it to some extent or another. [...]

[...] But as far as thinking that I could learn any more by listening to him than I could from coming here, or just listening to myself  because if Joel is capable of doing this, so am I. If he can look in, so can I.”

When you listen, do not only listen but feel and within the energy of this voice feel, therefore, the energy within yourselves, within your spirits and your tissues, for you are now presently dwelling within tissue which you have also formed. [...]

Then listen well. [...] Now, give us a moment, and listen. [...]

[...] In a conversation—now listen to me—In a conversation that you now decide sounds boring when you enter it, you can catch yourself thinking: “This is boring. I will not bother to listen. [...]

Now, listen. [...] You are not listening to me so much as thinking of your next question and what you want to say.

I told you once (to Florence)—and I tell you all—in your quiet moments to say “Who am I?” And listen—listen then. [...] But listen. [...]

[...] And it would do you all well to listen! [...]

[...] Listen to the knowledge within the cells of your fingers and they will teach your intellect what joy is—and from this your intellect can learn to sing! [...]

[...] Now you do not properly listen to what I say and if the proofreaders were reading that sentence they would change it to “you do not listen properly to what I say,” but I mean you do not properly listen and there is indeed a difference. [...]

Close your bones and listen to the timbre that creaks through your (word lost). [...] Listen with the part of you that does not know sight or sound. Listen with the part of you who knows... [...]

Now this time, if it is not asking too much, listen to the sounds that you will hear without questioning, accept them as you do the paintings and the walls and the lights and the other people in the room as things that are and perceive them in your own way, but let them come to you as the lights come to you. [...]

But (to Ned) never look forward to listening to anyone above listening to your own inner self. [...]

Now listen. [...]

[...] She will listen to you.”)

Now let our guardian of the portals over there close the door and this time, once again, listen to the chanting and I will not give you any instructions. [...]

This time I want you to listen and I want you to close your eyes and to experience what you feel. [...]

Listen. [...] Listen. [...]

([Rachel:]“I’ll listen.”)

[...] So listen. [...]

Listen to what is being said, and to what is not being said. Now give us a moment and listen to what is being said and to what is not being said and remember what I just told you. [...] Now listen to what is said and to what is not being said. [...]

[...] She  also explained a drawing Phil had made while listening to Jane and Rob’s session. [...]

[...] There are consciousness, groups of consciousness, that try to communicate and you cannot listen because you insist that they have a language. [...]

[...] Within you this knowledge is apparent and speaks to you if  you would listen. [...]

[...] There are physical repercussions in your own bodies that occur if you would but listen to your bodies and feel them when the songs go on, for there is language beneath words. [...]

[...] I can only encourage you to open yourselves to them, to listen; to be, to experience your own being. [...]

[...] He came back to tell you there was no death—you would not listen, hear or believe. [...] This time you are listening. [...]

[...] In the meantime it is an excellent tool but the true wisdom within you, once again, allows your body to spontaneously breathe as you listen to me, refreshes yourselves as you listen to me, collects from realities that you do not perceive, infinite potentials of energy that fill your being as you listen to me. [...]

[...] You are not to come here each week simply to listen to my deathless prose, for it is not deathless you know, and Ruburt wonders if it is prose. [...]

I use words because presently they make sense to you but hopefully behind the words that I speak, you sense the inner vitality which has no need for them and hopefully listening to me, you sense, if only dimly, the wisdom of the self within each of you that is triumphant in its own wisdom, its own spontaneous freewheeling wisdom upon which your intellect rests. [...]

[...] The days are finished when you can just listen. [...]

I enjoy being quiet and listening to your thoughts, which are like locusts. [...]

Those of you who would change your world, then I tell you, listen: for if you would change your world you must listen to the voice within yourself. [...]

[...] As you sit listening to my voice, you are all subconsciously forming the physical environment of your classroom. [...]

You are, in some respects, more awake when you sleep than you are when you sit in your classroom and listen to my voice. [...]

[...] He came back to tell you there was no death—you would not listen, hear or believe. [...] This time you are listening. [...]

What I am telling you has been told throughout the centuries and the people have not listened. It is up to you now (Sue and Ned) whether or not you listen. [...]

[...] If they listen to you like sheep, then how can you look to them with respect? [...]

[...] You trust an adversary because you cannot move him; and you think, there is a man, he will not listen to me, therefore, he must really be great, and you also feared him, and that is why you trust your enemies in a strange fashion for they convince you that a portion of the race is worth saving. [...]

[...] I have also, however, been one of the ignorant masses, in your terms, who listened to the ringing through the centuries. [...]

When your precious psychologists walk out of their bodies and tell me what is in California, then I will listen to their theories of personality and when your psychologists put on the type of personality performance that I can put on—then I will listen to them when they tell me about the ego and subconscious. When their theories are broad enough to explain telepathy and clairvoyance and out-of-body realities, then I will listen to them and to their theories. [...]

Now that I have pointed out what I do not like about the recording, if you still choose to go ahead with it, you may indeed, but I shall interrupt again if I do not like what you are listening to. [...]

[...] and when you are ready to listen, and when you can accept what I have to say without these characteristics, which you find so familiar and assuring, then your education may begin and Ruburt’s also. [...]
