“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I mentioned in your last session that your scientists do not realize that man has, indeed, evolved since the development of the brain. For it has learned to form millions of new connections, meanings and concepts, new gestalts that have made man something different than he was. [...]

On February 12, 1966, I dreamed that I was on a bed, with Rob on one side of me and another man nearby. [...]

From this, I went into a long dream sequence that involved the death of a young Italian man who was somehow connected with our landlord and another about the death of someone close to a student, Lanna Crosby. [...]

The following day, we learned that a young Italian man had died — a former neighbor who had lived in this apartment house some time before; hence, the connection with our landlord in the dream. [...]

You have been taught for centuries in one way or another that repression, generally speaking, now, was all in all a natural, good, social and moral requirement, that expression was dangerous and must be harnessed and channeled because it was believed so thoroughly that man’s natural capacities led him toward destructive rather than positive behavior. [...]

[...] Through all of man’s religions and philosophies that line of thought has been most prominent; those who had the most energy suffered from it the most, of course. [...]

[...] You have been taught not to trust that energy, however, and in one way or another your social programs and your governments themselves are based upon the proposition that man must be protected from his own nature —a nature seen as unsavory at best.

[...] Her dream was also fairly accurate concerning the magazine’s cover painting for the piece: a montage featuring “a bird that was somehow a part of a man’s head, or face,” as she described it. [...]

(9:29.) A man believing he has heart trouble will finally, through his own anxiety, affect the functioning of his “involuntary” system until his heart is definitely harmed if the belief goes unchecked. [...]

[...] “Man, have I been out,” she said, trying to keep her eyes open. [...]

As far as what you consider the race of man to be, unsuspected value fulfillments and progress will follow after this mass recognition. [...]

[...] Value fulfillment would not be achieved in some important directions if man ceased killing because he knew death did not exist. [...]

[...] When you look at the state of your world therefore, as a sign of man’s condition, then also consider the stability, in your terms, and the bounty, that is also a sign of inner vitality. [...]

[...] Or Man Aupault. [...]

[...] Doris was smart enough to see this, but each time she was certain that there was something about the new man that made him more eligible—or at least more liable to accept her advances. [...]

[...] So you are afraid to ‘come under a man’s thumb’ or domination. [...]

[...] He’s manly enough” she said. [...]

[...] This is perhaps no easy task in usual terms, yet he is indeed learning on his own part to use his consciousness in a different fashion than the one prescribed by man in one way or another for centuries. [...]

[...] They remind themselves that the planet is overpopulated, and project into the future the most dire of disasters, man-made and natural.

[...] They are also painting a highly prejudiced view of reality, leaving out all matters concerning man’s heroism, love of his fellow creatures, his wonder, sympathy, and the great redeeming qualities of the natural world itself. [...]

[...] Without the use of this sense, however, no man would ever come close to understanding another.” [...]

A serious and humble consideration of the man’s problems, which are very difficult indeed, should help clear up the envy.

[...] To imagine yourself enviously (underline) as the owner of another man’s property is harmful.

[...] Subconsciously your reasoning went like this: “If I were any shape of a man, the hand would bring me what I wanted.” [...]

[...] A connection with your mother, in that you feel that she never considered your father a true, straight man because he did not do well financially.

[...] There are reasons, which I will discuss later, why the painting, that is the physical pattern of a painting, may seem to, and often does, exist longer than the man who paints it.

[...] It is not the material that composes man, that gives him his identity. [...]

[...] Then, I became aware that I was watching and listening to a man in a light gray business suit. [...]

[...] The man replied, without turning around, that it was Daniel Murphy. [...]

Of late, I hear more and more from you both in your private discussions, in which you voice opinions to the effect that overall man can hope to learn little—that the individual can only do so much, that you can at best glimpse the most minute portion of knowledge. [...]

Many concepts, advancements and practical inventions simply wait in abeyance in the world of dreams until some man accepts them as possibilities within his frame of reality. Imagination is waking man’s connection with the world of dreams. [...]

The Ascension of Christ is … also a contribution of the world of dreams to your own universe, representing knowledge within the dream system that man was independent of physical matter. [...]

[...] … Nevertheless, every man intuitively knows his involvement here. [...]

No man can find
Where he has been,
Or follow in flesh
Where the self tread,
Or keep the self in
Though doors are closed,
For the self moves through
Wood and stone.

[...] The slight motion of one grain of sand causes a corresponding alteration in the distribution of the stars and in all matter’s fabric, from an atom in a man’s skull down to the slightest variation in a microbe’s action.

[...] With man, the opposite becomes true. [...]

[...] But memory produced another dimension in the animal and man carried it further. [...]

[...] And with his focused memory at his command, man’s ego was born, which could follow its own identity through the maze of blazing impulses that beset him, could recognize itself through the pattern of continuing constructions and could separate itself from its action in the physical world. [...]

(I saw the feet of a man walking along a flat dusty reddish road. [...] I could not see the man’s head or shoulders, or even his waist. [...]

[...] The vision involved a man walking down a road.

(The cobbler was an old man. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The switch of course, again, can never become total, but science—and medical science in particular—almost managed to divorce man from his natural feeling of trust in his own capacities, so that it seems for example that medical science per se knows more about any given individual’s body than the individual does himself. [...]

[...] Man, for example, exhibited natural psychic activity long before the birth of science —and for that matter before the initiation of formal religion. [...]

(Long pause at 9:56.) The entire dynamics of civilization to a large extent is related directly to man’s individual and mass psychic experience, and he ever receives fresh information from those inner sources. [...]

[...] All of those beliefs existed along with many unfortunate ones that were sexually oriented — those that dictated, for example, the traditional roles of man and wife, or man and woman. [...]

[...] These same ideas also had involvements with psychology, dealing with “the norm,” the average man, and so forth. [...]

[...] A man who loses memory of past events feels insecure and lost, but other types of personality gestalts operate far differently. [...]

[...] As far as your own system is concerned, I have told you that the past ever changes, and here we enter the realm of probabilities; for at any point in any man’s life, where a decision was made, the other probable alternative actions were also taken.

They also emerge within realities, and can attain consciousness superior, in further developments, than that presently known by man.

(Not long after the session was over I told Jane I meant to ask Seth to comment on the vivid dream I’d had last night about the Gallaghers and an unkempt young man who was living with them. [...] And that, maybe, the young man they’d taken in represented me as I’d used to be, or a perpetuation of their belief systems into later generations. [...]

The name simply seemed to stand for all of man’s agonizing reach for greatness, and yet for the anguish that always seemed to separate himself. [...]

[...] (long pause).... that the tale of Israel, with all of its wars and so forth, and its historical and biblical past, represents some ancient brilliant knowledge that man once had, of the self being so diverse as to behave as a nation of a million individuals, each looking for their homeland. [...]

[...] See the interpretation of the “two women and a man” data at the bottom of page 120. [...] My thought was that the two women and a man Seth referred to were Marjorie Buck, Ruth Gridley, and Roy Fox, all connected directly to The Art Shop, which furnished the bill used as envelope object. [...]

[...] A man with short gray hair, somewhat portly, but with a boyish-type face. [...]

[...] Or the pilot is connected with a man who in 1936 conceived ideas not used until this plane’s construction.

Connection with an old house; with another location; with two women and a man in particular. [...]
