“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You affect matter all the time, of course, including the matter of your bodies. [...]

[...] (Uri) Geller is important, because your civilization believes so in the integrity of physical matter. [...]

Some night I will give you some pointers on practical matters having to do with letters you receive, the future of the material, and other matters. [...]

[...] You do not dwell on the matter however; it hardly overbalances your greater feelings of trust, and so while granting that thieves live, you go unbothered.

What you call suggestion, to return to our present subject matter, is but a projection into the physical universe of data that operates constantly, as a basis for, and within, action. [...]

There are indeed methods by which the flow of action can be turned back, away from the impeding channels, and we will discuss that matter in some detail.

[...] It is the communication between the very areas of the self which is so important here, as in many other matters. [...]

The book will not require any additional work on Ruburt’s part, taken from his own, except for the final putting together, which will be simply a matter, I suppose, of typing. [...]

I have tried to explain the God concept in many ways, using different vocabularies, speaking very simply; and yet because of the subject matter I see that it is not understood. [...]

In other terms, you will leave this system for others, but there will be a portion of you yet, no matter how many eons pass, that remembers a spring evening and a smell of autumn air; and those things will always be with you when you want them. [...]

Now that is one level, and on another level you think, “I am of the earth and strong and vital, and those who rely upon such thin, high, intellectual matter do not know what they are talking about. [...]

[...] The particular relationships in the context do not matter for there are those who have had none in that particular respect. [...]

[...] The inner senses experience directly the reality of which your matter is composed.

I will continue on this matter after you take a brief break, and again, save the pieces. [...]

[...] Your existence, and mine for that matter, on any particular level is predetermined by complete concentration or focus of inner selves upon the particular universe in question. [...]

Material matters may seem extremely practical to you. [...]

[...] In dreams you journey through inner realities as actually as you walk physically through the matter of the physical world. [...]

Three: Permanence is not a matter of time. [...]

[...] At the same time, as the book’s criticism has a good import, so is the disclaimer in its fashion a creative example, again, of the book’s premise, and also would serve for that matter in a way that may not have been anticipated: with the disclaimer the book may well sell more copies by far than it would otherwise (humorously), for people will be curious about what such a volume might contain that will be dangerous to the public good. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) In the overall cultural picture (long pause), “psychic matters” are no longer as easy to dismiss as they used to be. [...]

[...] Mass Events was supposed to come out on March 13, but this date is evidently in error, since we’ve just learned we won’t see front-matter proofs until next week. [...]

[...] They possess signs of greatness (matter-of-factly. [...]

[...] “When I saw what time it was, I almost didn’t want to do it—but I still wanted to try, no matter what.” [...]

[...] To some extent your own do-it-yourself attitudes kept you from such experience, and as long as Ruburt lacked it, and as long as you lacked it (with much more emphasis than I’d heard Jane use as Seth in a long time), you would both still have doubts about the nature of our own work as applied to such matters—and this goes beyond the confines of our work in ways I will try to clear later. [...]

[...] Women were inferiors, and in matters of religion and philosophy most of all, for there their creativity could be most disruptive. [...]

[...] Yet he felt that women were inferior, and that his very abilities made him vulnerable, that he would be ridiculed by others, that women were not taken seriously as profound thinkers, or innovators in philosophical matters.

[...] Friends do not always talk of high and weighty matters. … Previously we have been too concerned with other matters for any emotional interchange. [...]

As a result of Seth’s instructions, both of us began to have some clairvoyant experiences on our own, and we thought we should write to someone who knew more about such matters than we did. [...]

[...] The concern over the matter becomes far more an impediment than any actual loss of his teeth. [...]

Darwin’s theories, and Freud’s for that matter, will in the future be seen as any other antiquated, outmoded system—yet from their ashes will rise new ways of interpreting and experiencing reality. [...]

[...] Your preoccupation with such matters has certainly hampered your creativity.

You attend to matters that seem to have practical value. [...]

[...] (In parentheses: I am speaking in your terms of time.) Watching television, you are aware of events that occur on the other side of the earth, so your consciousness necessarily becomes less parochial.⁸ As this has happened the whole matter (smiling) of probabilities has begun to assume a more practical cast. [...]

[...] In the 565th session at 9:30, for Chapter 16, he used the example of one’s possible responses to a telephone call to show how all “probable actions are equally valid,” no matter which one of them is physically actualized.

[...] The interpretation is his own, colored by subconscious prejudice, and largely a matter of vocabulary. [...]

[...] In our own material usually, I can deal with matters more as I would prefer.

[...] Does this clear the matter?

[...] This idea also came back, reading a book on William James Peggy G. gave me for Xmas—his attitudes and mine so often seem similar—that he was determined to be daring, press ahead no matter what, explore consciousness—while at the same time being attracted to safety, disliking controversy, wanting peace, etc. [...]

[...] In one sense you are not divided or separated and you will gain from his added development for he will telepathically let you understand matters that you have never understood before. [...]

[...] Her choice of subject matter there was quite natural: She’d given her third session in that series two days earlier.

2. When Jane and I married on December 27, 1954, we promised each other that neither one of us would interfere with the other’s creative approach to life, no matter what resulted from the actions we individually chose. [...]

[...] In that regard, Ruburt’s response before such a session is natural, and to an extent magical, because he knows that no matter what he has been taught, he must to some degree (underlined) forget the questions and the mood that accompanies them with one level of his consciousness, in order to create the proper kind of atmosphere at another level of consciousness—one that allows the answers to come even though they may be presented in a different way than that expected by the rational mind.

[...] When I asked Jane about this tonight, at first she rather matter-of-factly said that she didn’t know. [...]

[...] It is so sure of its dominance in all matters. [...]

I am not going to go into this particular matter to any great degree. [...]

[...] Once more: Data received by the inner senses is as vivid, and in fact more vivid, than any other data you will ever receive, and the ironic part of the whole matter is that you actually receive this inner data constantly. [...]

[...] Once the personality realizes that even in life on your plane he is not always bound by physical data, and that even in physical life the most real portion of him is independent of physical matter, and in a personal way, then he will not fear death as a personal ending.

The same thing with variations happened with your own race, and for that matter is happening. [...]

[...] These units of consciousness are within all physical matter, containing their own memories. [...]

[...] From them EE units are formed, and the first roots sent out into the world of physical matter. [...]
