“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pause.) I told you some time ago that miracles were simply nature unimpeded, and Ruburt is learning to give his nature freedom, so that it can follow the greater ways of its own knowledge —therefore freeing his body so that it can behave in a more natural and normal fashion. [...]

Certain strains were involved that were in one way as natural as growing pains. This has nothing to do with so-called psychic phenomena, but the natural growth and development of a personality whenever it tries to go beyond its space and time context, and takes a challenge of such a nature.

[...] It is quite natural for children to play creatively with the various states of their own consciousnesses, to explore the “us-ness” of a seemingly single identity. [...]

[...] In such a way the child actively participates in the consciousness of nature—and I am not speaking of an imaginative or symbolic participation alone, but of an awareness of the multiplicity within itself and of other creatures. [...]

[...] (Pause at 9:32.) The children participate in their own dimensions of natural divinity to a large-enough extent that they feel themselves automatically supported within the presence of an ever-acting comprehensive trust and love. [...]

Your civilization has decided upon certain beliefs of a quite contradictory nature, however. [...]

[...] You must stop reinforcing the negative suggestion, and instead when you leave your desk tell yourself that when you return you will pick up your work where you left off easily and naturally.

[...] Yet a refusal to worry as such will often show remarkable results by freeing the creative mechanisms, relaxing the body, and therefore allowing solutions and resolutions to occur naturally. [...]

People can become quite frightened, then, of any kind of experiences of a personal nature that imply reincarnational life, for they are then faced with the taboos of science, or perhaps by the distorted explanations of some religions or cults. You therefore protect yourselves from many quite natural upthrusts that would on their own give you experience with your own reincarnational existences, and you are often denied psychological comfort in times of stress that you might otherwise receive.

[...] Perhaps I should have stressed her nature more throughout Dreams. I never took that essential quality of hers for granted during those times, but instead accepted it so easily that I lost conscious stress upon it. She doesn’t use the word in connection with herself, yet I think that Jane’s mystical nature, which is so at odds with the realities most people create for themselves, actually offers the only real framework for understanding her physical condition, her choices, in our probable reality.

[...] Such feelings can then for a while override his natural inclinations, his natural enjoyment and excitement with which he otherwise views our sessions.

“He began to search actually from childhood in a natural fashion toward some larger framework that would offer an explanation for reality, that bore at least some resemblance to the natural vision of his best poetry. [...]

[...] Now in the meantime there are a few points I would like to make that have not been given in this particular manner; connections that are important, between the nature of matter, your perception of it, and reincarnational existence. [...]

[...] All of this must be understood along with the nature of physical matter to begin with. [...]

[...] The inner core of the self has no difficulty in uniting and correlating the outward experience of its many personalities, but the subject of reincarnation cannot be understood without a knowledge of the nature of matter.

Reincarnation, so-called, cannot adequately be considered then as a phenomenon apart from the nature of personality either, for it is a direct result of the inner self’s attempt to project its personality characteristics outward into a world of physical actuality.

[...] You schooled yourself not to display emotion of a warm, spontaneous, happy nature, and he needs that kind of display.

[...] He is not looking for an endless adolescent love affair, but in his terms (underlined) the simple emotional creature love, support, that he felt you must, because of your nature, largely withhold.

To compensate he realized that you gave all you could, that you were his partner in work, in seriousness and in important endeavors (underlined), but he wanted touches, and because of his nature reassurances.

The reincarnational material given in the bedroom over there one night was also a statement of that nature—the night in which Ruburt related to you as the priestess-prostitute you visited.

The solutions lie in the conscious mind — I cannot emphasize this too strongly — and in those beliefs that you accept about the nature of reality and, specifically, about the nature of your being.

[...] Jane and I figure that from now on they’ll probably be held irregularly into January, 1973; partly because of our holiday activities, which we enjoy, but also because this seems to be a natural time of rest for us — although Jane plans to keep her ESP and writing classes going as usual.

[...] In all cases of this nature involving Augustus-type episodes, the problem is one of unassimilated beliefs. [...]

Briefly—for I have said this before—all of your disciplines have seen the natural self as unsavory in its basic character. [...]

People generally in your society find little opportunity to work with the natural self, to explore its characteristics, much less be convinced of its good intent. [...]

Tonight Ruburt has evidence for the good intent of his natural self. [...]

[...] What he is feeling now is the natural energy that comes through his physical being.

She is devoid of possessions of a physical nature, signifying that she does not reach out toward such possessions, but reaches with inner hands (pause) for other fruits. [...]

I have just interpreted for Joseph a dream of his, in which he was able to express emotions of a rather profound nature, and I want to stress here that you are above all an expressive (underlined) species.

Such systems distort the very nature of idealism by placing the ideal in such an exalted position that it can never be attained, for by giving up the self you have you are to attain instead a wholly pure, wholly loving, idealized, spiritual self. [...]

[...] They stress love of mankind, while at the same time cutting down on strong personal affiliations of a loving nature, so that love itself cannot seek its expression in concrete terms. [...]

Ruburt’s way of forgetting past books is a natural and good one for him. It conflicts with your natural way. [...]

[...] It is natural enough when he begins such activity if ambiguous feelings emerge. [...]

[...] The definite improvements are therefore the result of Ruburt’s determination, and your support, but also of the body’s resiliency when it is allowed to follow its natural impulses.

Following his natural impulses automatically brings issues out into the open, so that today he worried about not writing, and so was consciously aware of the conflict and of its reasons. [...]

[...] Besides this, it seems to you that such encounters involve a simplification and distortion by their very nature as far as your work is concerned, along with a unique kind of psychological disclosure that could be humiliating, lacking the proper frame of understanding. [...]

[...] The very phrasing of the question and the word, responsible, shows its loaded nature. [...]

[...] The thoughts, for example, of All that Is were not simply thoughts as you might have, but multidimensional mental events of superlative nature. [...] Yet they had yearned before the beginning for other experiences, and even for fulfillments of a different nature. [...]

Value fulfillment itself is most difficult to describe, for it combines (pause) the nature of a loving presence—a presence with the innate knowledge of its own divine complexity—with a creative ability of infinite proportions that seeks to bring to fulfillment even the slightest, most distant portion of its own inverted complexity. [...]

—and I enjoy the cozy specific nature of your den (Jane’s writing room) in its hillside house, nestled in its physical nest, the specific streets and small city. [...]

[...] What a heretical thought from the scientific viewpoint!) But each atom of whatever element is an amazingly complicated, finely balanced assemblage of forces and particles woven together in exquisite detail—one of the more basic examples of the unending and stupendous creativity, order, and design of nature, or consciousness, or All That Is.

[...] Not that Seth claims any kind of omnipotence, because he doesn’t. His material, however, is clearly providing such translations of unconscious knowledge, and intuitive disclosures; disclosures, according to Seth, no more remarkable than those available in nature itself, but we have forgotten how to read nature’s messages; disclosures no more mysterious than those available in our own states of inspiration, but we’ve forgotten how to decipher those communications too. [...]

While Seth was dictating The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, for example, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred; and had the affair turned into a disaster, our Chemung County would have been used to house refugees. [...]

[...] In Mass Events, though, Seth goes further, maintaining that our private impulses are meant to provide the impetus for the development of our own abilities in a way that will also contribute to the best interests of the species and the natural world as well. [...]

[...] Seth answers those questions and many more, until as we read his explanations we wonder how we could have so misread our own nature as to distrust the very messages meant to lead us toward our own spiritual growth and that of the species as well.

You should desire good health because it is a natural state of your being. [...] Health is a natural state of your being. [...]

[...] [Tom:] “My interpretation of what he said is that (1) good health is a natural part of ourselves, and so we should naturally desire it, and (2) good health in itself is not the objective at all. [...]

[...] Therefore, now you must learn the nature of your thoughts and how to handle energy.

You should desire good health because it is a natural state of your being. [...] Health is a natural state of your being. [...]

[...] [Theodore:] “My interpretation of what he said is that (1) good health is a natural part of ourselves, and so we should naturally desire it, and (2) good health in itself is not the objective at all. [...]

[...] Therefore, now you must learn the nature of your thoughts and how to handle energy. [...]

[...] Through various exercises in this book, I hope to acquaint each of you with the inherent oneness of the inside and outside realities, to give you a glimpse of your own infinite nature even within the bounds of your creaturehood — to help you see the god-stuff in the man-stuff. [...] I would like to change your ideas of human nature. [...]

[...] Man, being a part of that inner world by reason of the nature of his own psyche, automatically has a hand in the creation of those blueprints which at another level he uses as guides.

[...] They may appear throughout your lifetime as recurring dreams of a certain nature — dreams of illumination; and even if you do not remember them you will awaken with your purposes strengthened and suddenly clear.

“Obviously, Seth’s purpose is to explain what he can within the framework of that language, rather than to change the language itself — as would be necessary, for example, to escape its often prejudiced nature. [...]

To offset this, regard again (puzzled expression), the full nature of your integers and remember their relation to the factor known as p. Underscoring this is the problem of cohesives. The unifying nature (pause) underlying the principle of P S I (spelled) group together in a conciliatory fashion. [...] The seemingly erratic nature(s) of the integers then join. [...]

[...] Our questions will have to do with the nature of this source, why this particular data came through in this fashion, etc. [...]

You force stability upon them, but you cannot predict their action (puzzled again), when you cross them (pause), in the nature of a pi. [...]

[...] Nature without its clothes on, ha, ha, ha. [...]

[...] In other words, I think that ESP abilities are natural ones that we have denied because they seem to contradict our ideas of reality.

Yet I really believe that the facts are clear to anyone broad-minded enough to look into the field of parapsychology, or bold enough to do his own experimentation into the nature of consciousness. [...]

[...] We know little about our own psychology and less about the nature of consciousness. [...]

[...] I think that the Seth Material contains insights and information concerning the nature of reality that are sorely needed. [...]

[...] The human personality is naturally a seeker of value fulfillment and creativity. [...]

In the old system also, any physical problem is seen as naturally remaining or worsening. [...]

[...] If you will forgive me, the excellent material means automatically, however, that many people with excellent intellects are naturally drawn to it, and some of the minds that will be important in following years are already acquainted with the material, or will be. [...]
