“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Our two sessions should always be maintained, with the class sessions added as long as they do not drain Ruburt’s resources. [...]

Yet Buddhist belief, for instance, maintains that our perception of the world is not fundamental, but an illusion; our “ignorance” of this basic undifferentiated “suchness” then results in the division of reality into objects and ideas. [...]

In any case, such a situation could not be maintained indefinitely. [...]

(The larger Seth voice maintained its high, thin, clear and distant quality throughout.)

[...] Once they were meant to promote your psychological understanding, but now they can only impede your progress; and you are also slightly resentful at Ruburt, feeling that he is somewhat responsible, by still maintaining his symptoms, for your own.

[...] Because of the multitudinous courses open to the species, not only did the highly specific nature of many kinds of animalistic instinct no longer apply, but a curious balance had to be maintained. [...]

If, as Seth maintains, we have probable selves and if, besides all this, we live various existences on this planet, what happens to the concept of a single soul?

“The ego maintains much of its stability by looking backward into a ‘past’ and finding something of itself there. [...]

[...] Cellular structure maintains brilliant effectiveness in the body’s present reality, but knows itself free of it. [...]

Give us a moment … In the body certain cells “kill” others, and in so doing the body’s living integrity is maintained. [...]

[...] You would need another self, able to hold both lines of consciousness at once, lost in neither but maintaining footing in each. [...]

[...] Even now in some “tribal societies,” for example, the self is experienced far differently; so that, while so-called individuality as you understand it is maintained, each self is also experienced as a part of others in the tribe, and the natural environment. [...]

With Ruburt’s limited vocabulary, this is rather difficult to explain, but it would be as if the positions of your north and south poles changed constantly while maintaining the same relative distance from each other, and by their change in polarity upsetting the stability (pause) of the planet—except that because of the greater comparative strength at the poles of the units (gestures, attempts to draw diagrams in the air), a newer stability is almost immediately achieved after each shifting. [...]

[...] The system also provides practice in the methods of transforming energy into form, and of maintaining intensities, of manipulating energy in various aspects.

[...] I mention this because there should be no divisions, and in trying to maintain balance, now, Ruburt has a tendency to think “Now I should try to be physical,” or “Now I should work,” where the two flow effortlessly together, and you can help him see this.

[...] She began dictating in a rather quiet voice, at a brisk pace, and maintained this attitude more or less for the whole session. [...]

There is a delicate balance to be maintained, but energy will come to you. [...]

(10:17.) Now give us a moment … As the cells operate with the knowledge of probable actions and still maintain the physical body in your chosen system, so the psyche, operating in the same way, “seeds” itself in many different probabilities. [...]

[...] It has, however, literally endless probabilities to choose from, to fulfill its abilities while maintaining a workable selfhood.⁶ Consciousness chooses the best overall conditions available for its own purposes of growth. [...]

[...] He has done very well, actually, in maintaining fairly decent equilibrium.

[...] While the overall stability of working hours and arrangements should be largely maintained, he should make an effort to vary his activities and routine. [...]

[...] I had interpreted Seth’s material as indicating that Jane saw the apparition only while dreaming, and not in the waking state, as she has maintained all along.

The twenty minutes of psycho-cybernetics should be particularly maintained when he is not feeling well, for in themselves they help him change his mood and give a breathing spell. [...]

On your return I expect you to concentrate your energies in both of your works, then in maintaining communication. [...]

(Pause at 10:20.) Now in terms of psychology as you understand it, the soul could be considered as a prime identity that is in itself a gestalt of many other individual consciousnesses — an unlimited self that is yet able to express itself in many ways and forms and yet maintain its own identity, its own “I am-ness,” even while it is aware that its I am-ness may be part of another I am-ness.
