“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In the other probability, you would have pursued the same goals but you would have done it to prove the reality within physical matter. [...]

[...] For before you have a firm foundation of trust these matters must be both faced and settled. [...]

I think it very likely that aborted fetuses and those infants who die early in “life” — say within a few months after birth, especially — never intended to stay long within camouflage (physical) reality to begin with; the consciousnesses within those small human structures came just to momentarily sample our world of matter, whether from inside the womb or out of it. [...]

[...] Within the overriding constancy of the speed of light, all phenomena in our camouflage reality — motion, velocity, mass, matter, time, space, gravitation, and so forth — are seen as relative to each other. [...]

[...] They may work on assembly lines, for that matter, but if so they will be healers by intent or temperament.

[...] These persons, for instance, may be utterly unknown, and usually are, for as a rule they care not a bit about explaining their interior activities to others — nor, for that matter, even to themselves. [...]

[...] Yet all are in the same overall composition, in “time,” so that time itself serves as the scale (gesturing) in which the [musical] number is written — chosen as a matter of organization, focus, and framework.

[...] The delay doesn’t matter in this case, though. [...]

[...] Use your psychic abilities to ascertain the house’s atmosphere, by all means — and no matter how fine it seems, do not buy it if you do not feel comfortable inside. [...]

[...] The idea of creative play, no matter how futile the idea may sometimes appear, is excellent, and can be used, again, when you both remember to assert your creative playful selves. [...]

Now, he would like me to say something concerning some other matters, and so I shall.

Your wife’s back trouble is a matter of tension, and a chiropractic adjustment will doubtless help. [...]

[...] Psychic matters weren’t stressed, and counterpart ideas weren’t even mentioned. [...]

[...] For that matter, the preciseness of your ordinary sense perception rests firmly upon this greater inner flexibility, which gives you a broad base from which to form your secure focus.

Jane’s connections and challenges with religion across lifetimes are obvious among her dream of being a nun, the “nightmarish experience”⁸ she had two nights later, and the subject matter of the private session she gave on the evening of March 11. [...]

[...] So the book was out in Spanish, we saw—but we were so preoccupied with Jane’s symptoms and related matters that we let the photocopies lie on a shelf. [...]

[...] No matter how it must reason or react, that self has to be concerned about its own survival—but in what ways, and based upon what knowledge and reasons? [...]

2. At times after Jane began to really show her physical symptoms, my awareness of the fact that basically she’s a mystic became submerged beneath many other more “practical” matters. [...]

[...] His intentions were of the best, but I suppose that I must now feel obligated—and I do—to go into the matter of mental and emotional stability and any dangers to such stability that might be involved here.

[...] At this point I’d been speaking as Seth for about forty minutes, and he recommended a rest period, saying: “Sometime between now and twenty-five years of laying your doubts at rest, I would like to go into some other matters that I have been trying to tackle for several sessions. [...]

[...] 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 — an atmosphere that allows the answers to come even though they may be presented in a different way than that expected by the rational mind.

[...] With creative people strongly gifted, as in your cases, the natural person is very prominent, no matter what you do. [...]

[...] It is simply a matter of applying them correctly. [...]

[...] One thought alone seems to matter little, and yet it is part of a characteristic pattern of inner behavior, and as such has its place either in bringing you freedom and abundance, or in denying you freedom and abundance.

[...] There is no such thing as intrusion for that matter. [...]

The board is a matter of formality, actually exceedingly important in that it renews contact in a familiar manner, and also I have always been partial to formality to some extent. [...]

Jane worked less and less as the holiday season approached, although on December 15 she gave her fourth private session; its most evocative subject matter—art and child psychology—is separate from our themes for Dreams. [...]

[...] Space itself already speaks of a creation “begun,” for no matter how empty space may seem to be it simply appears like a vast cathedral, or tent or pyramid of form, for the moment perhaps vacant inside, with walls so distant that they go unperceived.

Some of this evening’s material will only have meaning to you in the dream state, for that matter, and the words of the book may stir some of those meanings into your attention. [...]

[...] Expression is far preferred, of course, to repression—but more than this, the matter of repression cannot be solved by adding further repression as a therapeutic measure. [...]

[...] And once again I felt that it was up to me to take the initiative in such matters.

As a matter of fact, our own test was a fairly good one. [...]

[...] Any time that you wish a longer session for any reason, simply request it; or a shorter session for that matter.

[...] It would seem minute, a matter of only a few degrees in measurements, but highly significant.

[...] In that respect at least you are no different than I. Consciousness is the force behind matter, and it forms many other realities beside the physical one. [...]

(However, neither of us had the slightest idea that Seth himself would use the account—which Jane hadn’t read, don’t forget—as the subject matter for his first delivery tonight. [...]

[...] A true realistic exploration of the nature of experience would automatically study that kind of emotional interrelationship, but while your society delineates the inner particles of matter, it avoids the inner psychological “particles” that form the most intimate experiences of your lives.

The salve is a different matter. [...]
