“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] But all apparitions are not of this nature. [...]

[...] These classifications apply regardless of the basic nature of the consciousness that is to be materially formed. [...]

[...] You are always forming such constructions, and the methods by which this is accomplished are the same regardless of the nature of the consciousness which is to be perceived in physical terms. [...]

Now, your physical universe is obviously composed of shared perceptions, and mass dreams would of course be of the same nature. [...]

[...] The repressive nature of Christian thought in the Middle Ages, for example, is well known. [...]

[...] In that regard his natural expression must be closely guarded. [...]

[...] Many of those fears originated long before the sessions, of course, and before he realized that there was any alternative at all between, say, conventional religious beliefs and complete disbelief in any nature of divinity. [...]

[...] A very significant sentence:) The entire structure of fears, of course, is based upon a belief in the sinful self and the sinful nature of the self’s expression. [...]

[...] For investigation into the nature of space and time as they are experienced within the dream framework, will tell you more about the real nature of space and time then you can ever learn through studying their distorted appearances within physical reality. [...]

[...] It will even add to the beneficial nature of your own dreams. [...]

You can also tell yourselves when you wish that you will give special attention to the nature of time and space, as these appear within your dreams. [...]

As I mentioned, your psychological time experiences will also help you to investigate the nature of time and space to some degree.

[...] Ruburt acted as naturally as possible today, reminding himself to be spontaneous. Your natural way of dealing with the world is also one of trust (to me), but you also feel that the world might betray such trust. [...]

[...] His nature is open—basically trustful, and direct in its dealings with the world and others. [...]

The strong private nature leads to personal discoveries, and his basically direct way of dealing with the world means that he wants to share those discoveries. [...]

[...] He was bound to publish his work—any kind—but equally determined to protect his private nature. [...]

Because of the true nature of “time” the Lumanians still exist as they were in your terms. [...]

Because of the nature of probabilities there is also, of course, a system of reality in which the Lumanians succeeded in their experiment with nonviolence, and in which a completely different type of human being emerged.

[...] If you are interested in the nature of your own reality, then it becomes a highly personal and pertinent matter.

[...] As some of his other less auspicious ideas came into prominence, however, that natural healthy withdrawing tendency was also used to some extent (underlined) as a framework that was overextended. [...]

[...] He told himself that if he were using his abilities as he should, he would then naturally seek out their public expression. [...]

He took it for granted that, ideally speaking, he should do such public work, that it was his responsibility, but also that it represented a natural expression of abilities that he was denying because of his fears. [...]

[...] He writes his own books because writing is such a natural part of his expression. [...]

[...] All natural aggressive elements were denied in their natures, and any evidence of momentary hatred was considered evil and wrong. [...]

In its natural state, hatred has a powerful rousing characteristic that initiates change and action. [...]

[...] In your terms it is the build up of natural anger; in animals, say, it would lead to a face-to-face encounter, of battle stances in which each creature’s body language, motion, and ritual would serve to communicate a dangerous position. [...]

If you understood the nature of love you would be able to accept feelings of hatred. [...]

(Long pause.) His basic nature, again, has always insisted upon expressing its high exuberance, its natural abilities. [...]

[...] They are natural methods of perception that cannot be legislated away by governments, cannot be ripped out of people’s make-ups by religions or by sciences. [...]

The psychic abilities are (underlined) the creative abilities—natural extensions of what you think of as the creative abilities. [...]

[...] You know ahead of time the nature of the period into which you will be born. [...]

This afternoon we had a long discussion about the conflicts we often feel between our natural desires for creative privacy and the fact that our works go out into the world. [...] It took me some time after she’d started delivering the Seth material to realize that in spite of her outgoing, friendly nature, Jane is as much a private person as I am.)

[...] You make certain adjustments, perhaps altering particular details, but you step into and become part of the inner processes—affecting, say, the shape or size or nature of the event before it becomes a definite physical actuality.

[...] You help mold the nature and shape of events without realizing it, overlooking those occasions when the processes might show themselves.

[...] Later, some people more stubborn than others might try to “prove” that some events are definitely precognitively perceived—but the point is that all events are precognitively perceived (intently), and that you actually step into an event, become part of it, reject it, accept the certain version you have “picked up,” or exert yourself to make certain changes that affect the nature of the event itself.

As energy flows through your field and appears within it, it does so according to its own inherent nature. This nature of energy, believe it or not, includes individualization and consciousness. [...]

[...] Your cocktail party, however, I found immensely amusing, and at a later date I may give you some reasons for its rather explosive nature.

You may not be aware of the conscious nature of each atom in your body, or of the gestalt consciousness formed by those atoms as they build into cells, but it is not necessary for them, or for their own awareness of themselves, that you give them that recognition. [...]

[...] No one atom or molecule within the fetus will exist within the adult, and yet the bits of energy that have formed together to form the pattern of the fetus know the capacity and limits of their own nature, and know therefore the potentialities and limits of the pattern which they have made.

[...] You are, however, worried about the nature of your own reality and worried about how far you want to follow into the nature of your own feelings. [...]

[...] Then when you are doing well in class, you will be able to relate not only to some reincarnational selves but to the inner self and to its activities and use these activities to enrich your normal daily encounters and to increase the nature and extent of your perceptions. [...]

So admit to yourself both your fascination with the nature of reality, and your own search. [...]

[...] Now you need not close your eyes but if you listen to your own inner voice, and if you allow yourself the freedom, and if you understand the nature of probabilities, then as I speak and as you listen you can indeed, to some extent, perceive the other reality, the specific reality of which I am speaking in which you also exist as a group. [...]

(Pause at 10:43.) Now often the ego acts as a dam, to hold back other perceptions — not because it was meant to, or because it is in the nature of an ego to behave in such a fashion, or even because it is a main function of an ego, but simply because you have been taught that the purpose of an ego is restrictive rather than expanding. You actually imagine that the ego is a very weak portion of the self, that it must defend itself against other areas of the self that are far stronger and more persuasive and indeed more dangerous; and so you have trained it to wear blinders, and quite against its natural inclinations.

[...] All dreams are not of this nature. [...]

[...] Then because it is inflexible you say that this is the natural function and characteristic of the ego.

[...] Seth explained how Jane’s poetry had always been “a creative offshoot of her desire to understand the nature of existence and reality, her way of probing psychically… into other realms… a method of investigation and a method of exploring the results.”

[...] They are given various kinds of treatment of a psychic nature, and told that the condition of that body is being brought about by the nature of their own beliefs.

[...] Now what your senses tell you about the nature of matter is entirely erroneous, and what they tell you about space is equally wrong — wrong in terms of basic reality, but quite in keeping of course with three-dimensional concepts. [...] And in such episodes, therefore, the true nature of time and space becomes more apparent. [...]

[...] In these the nature of reality is explained in accordance with an individual’s ability to understand and perceive it. [...]

It is the result of your own misinterpretations of the nature of reality. [...]

In a way it seems that “artificial” or synthetic fabrics are not natural. [...] Yet your world is composed of quite natural products, objects that emerge, almost miraculously when you think of it, from the inside of the earth.

[...] They met with varying degrees of success in their attempts to understand the nature of reality, and it is true that their overall goals were different than yours. [...]

[...] In your terms, then, other civilizations considered art as a fine science, and used it in such a way that it painted a very clear-cut picture of the nature of reality — a picture in which human emotion and motivation played a grand role.

To some extent, a natural talent is a prerequisite for such a true dream-art scientist. [...]

You were presented—or rather you presented yourself—with a prime example of the abilities of the natural person. I said something once to the effect that so-called miracles were simply the result of nature unimpeded, and certainly that is the case. [...]

[...] Science says that there is no will, yet it assigns to nature the will to survive—or rather, a will-less instinct to survive. [...]

[...] The senses did not fade in their effectiveness, and it is quite possible biologically for all kinds of regenerations of that nature to occur.

[...] You cannot content the aged entirely with hobbies any more than you can the young, but meaningful work means work that also has the exuberance of play, and it is that playful quality that contains within itself great propensities of a healing and creative nature.

[...] They will begin to take their natural places within your world. [...]

[...] Many people, long before the time of printing or reading, learned to read nature very well, to observe the seasons, to feel out “the seasons of the soul.” [...]

(Much slower after a long pause at 9:10:) Such considerations should naturally spark within you far vaster and yet far more intimate insights—insights in whose light the hazy rhetoric of [...]

[...] Each spoon that you touch, each flower that you rearrange, each syllable that you speak, each room you attend to, automatically brings you in touch with your natural feeling for the universe—for each object, however homey or mundane, is alive with changes and comprehension.

[...] They have an inbred sense of self-satisfaction and self-appreciation, and they instinctively feel that it is natural and good for them to explore and develop their capabilities.

[...] These take it for granted that any stressful situation will worsen, that communication with others is dangerous, that self-fulfillment brings about the envy and vengeance of others, and that as individuals they live in an unsafe society, set down in the middle of a natural world that is itself savage, cruel, and caring only for its own survival at any cost.

[...] We hope to show how most natural health-promoting beliefs can be applied to all mental, physical, or emotional illnesses or difficulties. [...]

Again, because of the simultaneous nature of time, beliefs can be changed in the present moment.

[...] (Long pause.) If the nature of perception were clearly understood then the nature of reality as you know it would also be understood much more clearly. [...]

[...] Its perceptions are of a different nature, varying particularly in scope and depth. [...]

As long as scientists insist upon considering the perceiver and the perceived event as entirely separate, then the true nature of perception will not be understood.

Resuming on the nature of perception on Monday.

[...] Most of the dreams that you recall are of this nature.

[...] These will not be exact or near translations of the experience, but rather of the nature of dream parables — an entirely different thing, you see.

[...] If you had a more thorough understanding of the nature of identity you would not, for example, fear telepathy, for behind this concern is the worry that your identity will be swept away by the suggestions or thoughts of others.

Now this is the true nature of the psychological being of which you are part. [...]

There is also a natural tension, then, between sexes that is based on far deeper causes than physical ones. The tension results from the nature of your consciousness that arises from the anima, but depends for its continuation upon the “aggressiveness” of the animus. [...]

The projection of the man’s anima, or hidden female self, upon [his] relations is quite natural, and allows him not only to understand them better but to relate with the other female existences of his own. [...]

[...] The anima and the animus, therefore, are embedded deeply with their necessary complementary but apparently opposed tendencies, and they are highly important in maintaining the very nature of your human consciousness.

(Long pause at 10:12.) Now there are many matters concerning the nature of conception that should be discussed here. [...]
