“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Some of this, then, will be in the nature of necessary review. [...]

[...] One of the things Ruburt resents most about your mother is her lack of understanding of the nature of your artistic abilities. [...]

[...] You go for them and for yourselves, this being the nature of creativity.

[...] Together you should have seen that under the circumstances they were “natural extensions” (in quotes) of past habit. [...]

[...] (Pause.) It seems to you that any naturally aborted fetus has no physical life at all, that such life has been denied to it for some reason. [...]

You grant soulhood only to your own species, as if souls had sizes that fit your own natures only. [...]

But all things have consciousness, and in those terms possess a soul-nature. [...]

Now: All of this may seem to have little to do with the nature of reincarnation, as you think of it, or with counterparts as I have explained them. [...]

[...] It is indeed in the nature of an impetus, an inner impetus that belongs to action, and is not some force separated from action, and acting upon it. This impetus is a natural and spontaneous movement that springs from within action itself. [...]

[...] The first prerequisite is that the ego understand both the nature of its dependence upon the whole personality, and the nature of its peculiar directive abilities in relation with the physical universe. [...]

[...] Nevertheless it is necessary that its basic nature be understood. [...]

[...] And here it is necessary that we discuss more thoroughly the nature or characteristics of constructive suggestions versus impeding ones, for one may turn into the other.

[...] When Ruburt forgot to worry because “he wasn’t working,” his natural playful creativity bubbled to the surface, and today he wrote poetry. [...]

However, if objective proof of that nature is considered the priority for facts, then as you know science cannot prove its version of the [universe’s] origin either. [...]

[...] There are all kinds of definite, even specific, subjective evidence for the nature of your own reality—evidence that is readily apparent once you really begin to look for it, particularly by comparing the world of your dreams with your daily life.

[...] The nature of the subjective mind, however, will never open itself to such tests, which represent, more than anything else, a kind of mechanical psychology, as if you could break down human values to a kind of logical alphabet of psychic atoms and molecules. [...]

[...] He hadn’t been delivering “Unknown” Reality for long, then, before I realized that I’d have to devise a system of presentation that would handle his material, my own notes (which I could see were going to be considerably longer than they are in Seth’s other books, Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal Reality), excerpts from Jane’s ESP classes, appendixes, and anything else that might be included.

“Jane Roberts’s experience to some extent hints at the multidimensional nature of the human psyche and gives clues as to the abilities that lie within each individual. [...]

[...] Your religions do not explain your greater reality, and your sciences leave you just as ignorant about the nature of the universe in which you dwell.

[...] They may appear esoteric or complicated, yet they are not beyond the reach of any person who is determined to understand the nature of the unknown elements of the self, and its greater world.”

[...] There in program two the table might be a flat natural plain, and the hat an oddly shaped structure upon it — a natural rather than a manufactured one. [...]

[...] When she began the sessions over 11 years ago, we requested advice and help from a few people,¹ but as we slowly began to understand the very personal nature of her gifts we realized that she’d have to find her own answers as she went along, with whatever help I could learn to offer.

[...] In terms of your psyche, each of your own thoughts and actions exist not only in the manner with which you are familiar with them, but also in many other forms that you do not perceive, colon: forms that may appear as natural events in a different dimension than your own, as dream images, and even as self-propelling energy. [...]

While all of this may sound quite esoteric, it is highly practical, and we are dealing with the nature of creativity itself.

He was bound and determined to explore the nature of reality. [...]

[...] At the same time he would be expressing the unreconciled portions of his own nature.

[...] Tell him that I can be trusted to monitor any and all of his experiences of a psychic nature. [...]

[...] He checks the impulses—now, he checks the natural impulse—to throw his arms out straight away. [...]

[...] Simply remind him that it is natural for his body to move. [...]

[...] He also interpreted a habit of “natural secrecy” (in quotes) on your part quite literally. [...]

Granted that our species’ best human understanding of “the mystery of life” and of the universe is exceedingly inadequate, still Jane and I do not think that nature is totally objective, indifferently cruel, or simply uncaring, as science would have us believe. (We also have deep reservations about the theory of evolution and its “survival of the fittest” dogmas, but this isn’t the place to go into those subjects.) Far more basic and satisfactory to us are the intuitive comprehensions that this “nature” we’ve helped create is a living manifestation of All That Is, and that someplace, somewhere within its grand panorama, each action has meaning and is truly redeemed. [...]

That all seeming divisions reflect portions of a unified whole is surely one of our oldest concepts, growing, in those terms, with us out of our prehistory as we struggled to grasp the “true” nature of reality. [...]

[...] (These theories are themselves quite incomplete, since at this time they incorporate only three of the four basic interactions in nature: electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. [...]

[...] If reincarnation is to be considered, their disturbed relationship this time might reflect past connections of a different yet analogous nature, and may also have important effects upon any future ones. [...]

With the natural structures formed and maintained, other secondary physical properties—secondary constructions—are projected. The deepest, most basic and abiding subjective experience is translated, however, into those natural elements: the ample landscape that sustains physical life. [...]

Having determined upon physical reality as a dimension in which it will express itself, the inner self, first of all, takes care to form and maintain the physical basis upon which all else must depend—the properties of earth that can be called natural ones. [...]

[...] There is also something in the nature of those who practice psychology: a fascination, in many cases, already predisposed to fear the “unconscious” in direct proportion to its attraction for them.

This is not meant to dilute the function or natural abilities of reasoning awareness, for its powers allow you to focus experience in a highly specific manner, and to direct energy with great purposeful attention. (Pause.) In your terms, this action is in the process of automatically changing the nature of rational consciousness — which is, as you think of it, in a state of evolution.

[...] As you do learn, you will automatically begin to appreciate the multidimensional nature of not only your own species but of others as well. [...]

During certain stages in sleep states you short-circuit the neurological structures, and perceive experiences of a multidimensional nature that you then attempt to translate, as best you can, into stimuli that can be physically assimilated — hence you often convert these into symbolic images that can be understood, and to some extent reacted to, by your bodily structure.

There is nothing to my knowledge of a new nature. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s energy has an explosive nature. [...]

[...] A partial loyalty of this nature is not a part of his makeup. [...]

[...] There is an interaction, naturally. [...]

You may be convinced that human nature is evil, or that no one is safe from another’s aggression, or that people are motivated mainly by greed. [...] However the two of you are necessary if a crime of that nature is, or is to be, committed.

You do not understand the communications between your selves and pets, for example, where in their own way they interpret and react to your beliefs.¹ They mirror your ideas, then, and so become vulnerable as they would not be in their natural circumstances. In greater terms their relationship with you is natural, of course, but their innate realization that the creature’s point of power is in the present is to some degree undermined by their own receptivity and translation of your beliefs. [...]

[...] If you understand the nature of probabilities, you will not need to pretend to ignore your present situation. [...]

What I have been telling you this evening, and my discussions in all our sessions, all my comments, have been concerned with basic and simple facts, not alien to mankind’s nature, but more intimate to him than touch. The very fact that over one hundred and thirty sessions have been devoted to such ABC’s is, in itself, adequate proof of how mankind has indeed divorced itself from the nature of its own spirit.

During our next session we will go more deeply into those pyramid gestalts of which we have spoken in the past, and perhaps consider from another viewpoint entirely the scope and nature that make up the idea of gods. Within certain frameworks these pyramid gestalts do have an electrical reality, but their existence goes beyond not the range but the nature of electrical reality. [...]

I am always amused and somewhat agitated at talk of so-called spirituality, when barriers have been effectively set up, cutting the nature of man into halves, and I will effectively deal with any such criticism. [...]

[...] Science does not stress the cooperative forces of nature. [...] Therefore, when I speak of the natural person being also the magical person, it is easy to transpose even that idea into more isolated terms than I intend.

[...] You interact with nature differently. [...]

In The Nature of Personal Reality, Seth deals extensively with the point of power, its exercises and meanings and benefits. [...]

[...] Laurel began writing to Jane and me in 1980 — while Seth was dictating The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events and Jane was writing her God of Jane. [...]

[...] Beliefs are strong ideas about the nature of reality. [...]

Basically it understands its source and its nature. [...]

[...] (Voice stronger for emphasis:) It can also look in both directions. It makes judgments about the nature of reality in relationship to its and your needs. [...]

[...] Due to the organizing structure of your own psychological nature, similar beliefs congregate, and you will readily accept those with which you already agree.

[...] Dreams are an example of the inner self’s basically independent nature.

[...] The muscles are lax because activity of a physical nature is not required for the physical organism. [...]

[...] Your scientists would learn more about the nature of dreams if they would but train themselves to recall their own dreams, and then study them in relation to their own normal activities and physical events.

[...] (Pause.) Something rather neutral, rather than of intimate personal nature. [...]

[...] They tempered others, but now he should become aware of his own natural flow, and follow it.

Tomorrow for example let him without guilt let the day be used to putter in the bedroom, play with poetry, do what comes naturally without a sense of guilt.

[...] Other beliefs are not allowed to intrude, and even those who are firm believers, but not fanatics, naturally prefer the company of their own kind.

[...] Men always form some kind of group, in which respect is given of one kind or another to their own species, and to nature. [...]

[...] As of now, of course, you live in a survivor’s world, for all of the catastrophes of a worldwide nature that could have happened thus far, have not. [...]

[...] The poetry was always a part of the psychic nature.

[...] The personality could not approach its own promise until the poetic nature led to the psychic development. [...]

This trick was this: it pretended to accept the psychic nature as part of itself and began a campaign ostensibly aimed at living up to its image, of adapting it. [...]

[...] The symptoms therefore were therapeutic in nature, in that their purpose was the solving of the dilemma.
