“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Jane had had an emotional reaction, I’d noticed, when she read that line aloud yesterday, and it set me thinking.

(4:36 p.m. “It’s me,” Jane said. [...]

(Carla, the aide who used to help Jane call me late at night, has been on vacation. [...] Maybe when she can call me again, Jane will feel better.)

[...] Now, this is the heart of the matter, and he would not let me give it earlier. [...]

He has blocked me several times when the cat lover and Jesuit were here, and the circumstances were good for a spontaneous session, particularly good, in fact. [...]

[...] Maude wants to ask the readers of RC to help Jane and me pay for certain very large medical bills not covered by insurance. A most humbling suggestion for my wife and me — we’ve always prided ourselves on making our own way.

[...] Do you follow me?

(I have been definitely under the weather since the day after this session was held, and my pendulum tells me that I’ve felt this way because of my reactions to this session. [...]

[...] The mouth spoke the words “Oh now please, please bear with me,” or words to that effect. [...]

[...] I wonder whether the mouth was a more or less conscious creation to explain the vigorous feeling sweeping through me.)

[...] The thought had come to me clearly.

[...] She had not consciously been thinking of visiting them when she left me. [...]

(Jane quoted this to me immediately after the session ended, and I include it here without change. [...]

[...] Your original purpose did not involve gaining the respect of those authorities, and it is, if you will forgive me, overall shortsighted to worry about the approval of such people in your time. [...]

Do you want me to go on the Johnny Carson show?

[...] You set yourselves, if you will forgive me, eternal goals. [...]

[...] I said any place was okay with me, as long as we were together, working the way we wanted to. [...]

[...] Peggy brought me some homemade corn bread. [...]

[...] If memory serves me correctly Ray Van Over said some of the effects she described were effects experienced by other mediums also.

(After reading these notes Jane reminded me that during the session Seth also told R. Van Over that one of the sponsors or members of his new research society would pull out—that this person was somewhat of a disrupting influence, etc. [...]

[...] Now will you take them gently from me, please? [...]

([Gert:] “Well, the physical says the bull you may come into my pasture, but you may not come in this one area and you may not touch me.”)

[...] They are given me for a reason.

[...] Such a simple understanding did not come to me that I remember, nor to my brothers—both of whom I think still have primitive ideas concerning father especially. [...]

(“Do you want to give me the years on that?”

[...] My kindest regards to Ruburt and yourself, and my regards to the man who asked that the questions be given to me. [...]

[...] Shortly before 7 PM Jane told me that she felt herself to be in an excellent mood of pleasant anticipation; she thought she might be trying to receive information, but did not know how to go about it.

(Jane began by telling me that “Several of us are much older than you are. [...]

(I’ll add that both Seth and quantum theory predict the spontaneous creation of particles of matter out of or in “empty” space—events that, it seems to me, go against some of the laws of conservation. [...]

Some of our readers, sending us recent books and copies of articles written by scientists working on these subjects, have noted that it must be nice for Jane and me to have concepts that Seth has been discussing for years “corroborated” by the establishment (often we already had the material on file, by the way). [...]

To me, consciousness or All That Is is an omnipresent, really indescribable awareness that to us human beings has no limits, “one” containing not only the attributes of time and space and of all feeling, thought, and objectivity, but numberless other properties, manifestations, and probabilities that lie outside our very limited interior and exterior perceptions. [...]

[...] This, to me, is an example of the way a course of probable activity can be agreed upon by all involved.

(During this session, while Seth was advising me he suggested that it would give me a great deal of satisfaction to pursue a hobby in electronics, a ham radio was his choice. [...]

[...] Such practicality doesn’t seem very practical to me.

[...] Practically you would find your ability minimized, and do you speak to me about practicality?

You may consult me when you wish. [...]

[...] By this time of course recriminations were beginning to fly back and forth by phone, although this did not involve Jane and me. [...]

Give me a moment, please.

Do you have a test for me?

One part of his whole personality is able to help me very much at times, but other portions simply cannot. [...]

(Which reminds me that when Jane and I lived at 317 South Elmer in Sayre, PA, I kept telling myself that by the time I reached 40 I would decide which I wanted to pursue. [...]

[...] First of all, you must realize it is futile to say “Why does understanding take so much time?” Or “Why have we been so opaque?” Or in your case “Why has it taken me so long to be a good painter?”

Prentice represented, to you (me), the world you had to protect yourself from, and be on guard against in the business world that had never understood your father—the unartistic, ever out to ruin the artistic product through ignorance, and lack of sensitivity.

[...] While you smile at me, you still think that you must protect yourself against distractions, as if they are purposely lined up like enemies against you. [...]

7. Seth’s material on trees reminded me of his 18th session for January 22, 1964. It made a lasting impression upon me. [...]

(And in answer to my second question of the evening, Seth told me that he wanted the word “formed” used in the last sentence, just as he’d given it.)

[...] The idea of trying to reach a future self has been with me for some three and a half years, though, or since I first encountered Nebene, that male personality who inhabits a distant niche in my psychic past.

[...] You are pleased enough with our results so that you both are easier with me now... [...]

[...] This operates with you both and Ruburt, and of course with me. [...]

[...] The idea “came” to me one day and I painted the portrait without a model. [...]

[...] I am more interested in that you are like Joseph, always trying to lead me on... [...]

[...] Now if you listen without listening too hard, in any intimate moment you can hear your molecules shout, if you will forgive me, with their own optimism. [...] I say what I say and I say more than you hear and yet you hear me silently. [...]

(Seth:) Now I love you and all of you, and I know that you love me. [...]

[...] To me it just seems like a waste to become pregnant when all along, whenever you just thought of becoming pregnant, to have an abortion. [...]
