“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The first goes after the word mother on page 184 as marked after the word mother, as follows:)

[...] I believe that the wife’s mother will die first, but I do not want this sent to the son-in-law. If it is not the mother, then the aunt. [...]

[...] The event may involve the wife’s mother…. [...]

[...] This I believe a maternal connection, a relative on the mother’s side.

Her mother was not the Mother Superior. Her mother was a poor young woman who lived and came from the same town that you did, thirteen miles from Dublin. [...]

[...] Was her mother the Mother Superior before?”)

([Jason:] “Was Yvette or her mother this particular child?”)

The mother was the woman who had the illegitimate child. [...]

[...] You were on your mother’s lap, in their bedroom, and he said simply “goodbye”, to you both. [...] (Jane sat with her head down.) It had followed a quarrel with your mother. [...]

[...] In a sense he was more your passive mother than your father. [...]

Your mother is facing realities she would not face in the past, and seeing in physical terms the results of her own inner actions. [...]

[...] Because you cannot put your finger upon him does not mean that he does not exist, and that he has not helped you fulfill yourself, and that he has not helped teach the woman you know as your mother.

[...] He has not purchased shifts because of the old picture of his mother in the sun, wearing a dress you see. The loss of weight was partially a defense mechanism, for his mother grew stout. [...]

It was difficult in very early years for his mother to get about in the morning. [...]

[...] At his worse moments, he thought that he could not love a cripple, since he did not love his mother, so how could you.

[...] Not in order necessarily here; at one time he feared a wheelchair, and has a long-forgotten image of his mother in one, with bent arms. [...]

[...] Such a belief could originate from an overanxious mother, for instance. If such a mother’s imagination followed her belief — as of course it would — then she would immediately perceive a great potential danger to her child in the smallest threat. Both through the mother’s actions, and telepathically, the child would receive such a message and react according to those understood beliefs.

[...] The belief is that you do not communicate well with your mother.

[...] Remember that Jane and I had spent the weekend visiting my mother and brother, et al.)

So this evening you feel guilty in reaching others through transcribing the notes, when you believe that you could not reach your mother vocally. [...]

Now in a way your mother and Ruburt were counterparts; for Ruburt lives in a trust of individual abilities toward which your mother yearned; and Ruburt gives a love to you which your mother yearned to give — yet while retaining her identity — to a man. Your mother understood love’s purpose and felt its presence in Ruburt. [...]

6. From her viewpoint my mother was, indeed, quite baffled when I turned away from a well-paying career in commercial art toward a very risky one in “fine art,” or painting. [...] My mother was 61 years old, I was 34, and Jane was 24. [...]

7. And at various times through my early years, I understood how my mother used me (and my two brothers) as “weapons,” or tools or objects, against my father. “Weapons,” perhaps, is too strong a word, I think now, for I don’t remember my mother blatantly encouraging “her” children to defy their father. [...]

Your mother and father are alive, as are Ruburt’s parents,⁴ but their realities are not pinpointed to any given island, and they are forming alliances, but always from the standpoints of their own unique identities. [...]

A mother who… Dropped dead at 35, or something happened drastically to change her, no, died at number 35, or had a psychological tragedy. Seems to be Ruth’s mother.

Perhaps on mother’s side, a relative or great uncle, name Grayfus?

[...] Ruth’s mother died at 35, shortly after giving birth to Ruth.)

A mother who... [...] No, died at #35; or had a psychological tragedy, seems to be Rachel’s mother. [...]

Perhaps on mother’s side, a relative or great uncle, name Grayfus? [...]

[...] Rachel’s mother died at 35, shortly after giving birth to Rachel.) Also home in the country that seems to belong to your family or husbands. [...]

The idea of Mother’s Day made him half resentful and half sorrowful because of the poor relationship between him and his mother (long pause), and he had hoped for further improvements in time for his birthday.

The other reason for his discomfort has to do with his birthday, coupled with the idea of Mother’s Day, which is tomorrow.

[...] I saw the birthday/Mother’s Day hassle as only the latest wrinkle in a 20-year cycle of reasons for the symptoms. [...]

[...] Main purpose was with you for you had been mother. [...]

[...] The brother in this life was the blood father as you were blood mother. [...]

[...] They considered water “Mother of all Earth.” [...]

(When I approached the room in which I knew Marie lay in bed, crippled by arthritis, I heard Jane and her mother inside. [...] Marie was bedridden, but Jane was perfectly healthy, and had come to forgive her mother, or make up with her. [...]

[...] Next, Jake and I were walking down a street in a town, on our way to see Jane’s mother. [...]

[...] I seem to remember from old pendulum sessions, that my mother is involved with the shaky hand, although she wasn’t in this dream. [...]

[...] You correctly interpreted the affair between Ruburt and his mother — an excellent omen, by the way.

[...] Now, for example: so as not to bother you, Ruburt made it a point of conscience to speak to your mother on the phone for you, and not call you, when he did not want to do so. Very seldom was he even aware of his true feelings here, and when he was he was ashamed of them, and was 10 times nicer to your mother to cover up the feelings from all of you.

Besides this he felt highly inadequate because he knew that all the time your mother of course would have preferred two minutes with you to ten with him, so then he felt unappreciated. [...]

In his own way he is fond of your mother at the same time, you see, but also terrified of her because the repressions cause him to exaggerate the hidden fears. [...]

There are some connections here with his mother being in bed and in pain, that frighten him. [...]

You do to some extent identify with your mother, in terms of a husband rather than a son, now that the king, father, has been removed. Ruburt feels that the mother acts as a center from which you will not move, but feels guilty of this feeling. To some extent out of misguided loyalty, all of the men in your mother’s life have kept her from using her own strength.

[...] He has always thought that you were used, mainly by your mother, but he was afraid that his statements would be misinterpreted because of his own relationship with his parents.

[...] Here you associate him with your mother, and Ruburt feels this unfair. [...]

[...] Main purpose was with you for you had been Mother. [...]

[...] The brother in this life was the blood father as you were blood mother. [...]

[...] They considered water “Mother of All Earth”. [...]

[...] He was after all Ruburt’s mother’s father, and therefore the source out of which Ruburt’s mother came—the higher power, so to speak. [...] In other terms the past was altered, in that Ruburt now experienced the yearned-for mother love that was warm in its animal female understanding, supportive and strong enough to easily bear a child’s small ragings and hatreds.

The ape on one level represented the animal instincts feared by Ruburt’s mother and grandfather as well, so Ruburt learned to look upon them askance. [...]

He also identified with his grandfather as a child, seeking protection from his mother in someone who seemed to love him more. [...]

[...] When he became important at all in world terms, he could no longer be a pygmy, and therefore lost a part of that identification that he felt had protected him against his mother and the feared spontaneity or instincts. [...]

[...] He was afraid of his mother’s wrath. [...]

The Nebene characteristics, now creatively used, then also mitigated against Ruburt’s easy expression of such feelings, and he did tie up some characteristics of Nebene with his mother’s scorn. [...]

We are bringing some beliefs out in to the open, yours as well as Ruburt’s. You identified in many respects with your father, though often you felt forced to take your mother’s part. [...]

You would not be shunted aside as your mother shunted your father. [...]

[...] He is not jealous of his father’s love for the mother, for he understands quite well that her love for him is just as strong. He does not wish to possess his mother sexually in the way that adults currently suppose. [...]

[...] I am saying here that to some extent the child in the womb is aware of the mother’s beliefs and information, and that to some extent (underlined) it is “programmed” to behave in a certain fashion, or to grow in a certain fashion as a result.

Basically the species is relatively so freewheeling, with so many potentials, that it is necessary that the mother’s beliefs provide a kind of framework in the beginning, allowing the child to focus its abilities in desired directions. [...]

The mother also provides the same kind of information to a male offspring. [...]

He has no reason (long pause) to feel guilty, or to punish himself for his mother’s situation. [...] He is not his mother’s murderer, then, in any fashion, nor responsible for the breakup of his parents’ marriage.

Let Ruburt remind himself that his birth was not responsible for his mother’s incapacity. [...]

(“Well,” I said several times, wherever she is now, I sure hope your mother understands what she did to you. [...]

There is no reason either, to blame his mother, or to hold any grudge against her, for in no way did Marie understand the issues.

He thought that he was such a bad person that he drove his parents apart, perhaps caused his mother’s illness, perhaps his grandmother’s death—for which his mother did indeed several times blame him—and that the classical idea of the Sinful Self was individually interpreted in that manner in Ruburt’s personal early life. [...]

[...] Some of Ruburt’s ideas along those lines were highly reinforced by his mother as well as by the church, and later in its way by the very pronouncements of science. [...]

In personal terms, he feared that his father abandoned him for that reason, that his mother disliked him for that reason, for each person will interpret the belief in his or her own life according to circumstances. [...]

[...] Are you actually saying that he feels that his mother and father both thought of him as evil—that now he thinks he’s that evil?”)

He is not responsible for the fact that his father left his mother. Now he did contribute, but no more than many others, and the main circumstances were chosen by the mother and the father.

[...] He had nothing to do with making his mother a cripple, nor does his fear, hatred or scorn of her keep her in that condition.

Ruburt’s birth did not cause his mother to become an invalid. [...]

Ruburt did not therefore destroy his mother, break up her marriage. [...]
