“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Sometimes it is difficult to identify idealists, because they wear such pessimistic clothing that all you can see are the patterns of a sardonic nature, or of irony. [...]

[...] That energy could have sustained him far more than it has, however, had he counted on his natural interests and chosen one of those for his life’s work. [...]

[...] The satisfaction of performance leads [her] to more expansive creativity, and to her natural sense of personal power. [...]

[...] The reactor hasn’t reached an ideal “cold shutdown,” however, when it will be on a natural circulation of water at atmospheric pressure; that situation will come about when an independent backup cooling system is completed several weeks from now.

[...] Now each of these selves experience time in their own manner, and as you should see by now this only means that they build their own realities according to the nature of their own perceptions. But the nature of their own perceptions is not chaotic. [...]

There are many implications here, and now perhaps you can understand why I gave you the information on the nature of action before I introduced you to the inverted time system. [...]

[...] Experience here therefore is of a plastic nature. [...]

[...] This is difficult, but listen: in these portions of the self it is the subconscious that carries the burden of identity, and it is the ego whose experiences are of a dreamlike, plastic nature. [...]

[...] To some extent you determine their “good health” within the framework of their nature. [...]

[...] As cells multiply and grow — within their own nature and the physical framework — so do selves “evolve” in terms of value fulfillment.⁴

[...] Your Life as Your Most Intimate Work of Art, and the Nature of Creativity as It Applies to Your Personal Experience.”

(A rereading of Chapter Six in Seth Speaks, “The Soul and the Nature of its Perception,” helped remind us of the truly unlimited attributes of the soul.)

[...] They were very unpleasant—frightening—and we thought that they were supposed to be therapeutic in nature, in line with Seth’s recent material. [...]

[...] At the same time, for many reasons, he had the idea that he was expected to be not merely a well-adapted natural person, but a kind of superself, solving other people’s problems, being a public personality, a psychic performer, and so forth. [...]

The symptoms were the result of strain placed upon the personality by the conflicting pulls of various beliefs—beliefs that did not fit the basic natural makeup of his personality or temperament. [...]

[...] At the same time, of course, to some extent he blocked his own natural motion (underlined), which followed directly from his own motivations and abilities, his own desires and instincts. [...]

[...] He expects himself to possess all of the qualities that his art tries to entice from human nature. If man can be a natural healer, and he says so, then he personally should heal others and himself. [...]

[...] In a way it reaches higher than the person, in that it expresses dimensions of imagination or inspiration that are heroic, and often by nature it speaks of capacities that cannot be fully expressed except through art.

[...] You do not realize the exhilarating nature, again, of your own endeavors in comparison to those of, say, the majority.

[...] He began in his own way to form his own theory concerning the nature of God and reality at a young age. [...]

Our sessions began, really, as an extension, a natural enough development, the results of a personal search. [...]

[...] Those fears are then not admitted, for he thinks that they must indeed be beneath a person whose entire life work is devoted to a search for the nature of reality, and therefore a person who must possess, or try to possess, the answers to all of the questions.

[...] The idea behind the question does of course spring partially from your private, practical concerns right now, and yet it also springs from Ruburt’s and your great natural curiosity.

[...] The spontaneity of Ruburt’s nature otherwise would have nearly dried up, and you as well as Ruburt would have sorely missed it. [...]

[...] Often what passed as spontaneity and emotionalism were often unrelated acts of instinctive nature. [...]

[...] For some time he confused true spontaneity with acts caused by blind propulsion, so he could not trust his spontaneous nature. [...]

[...] In his gallery work experience he did his best to disguise his spontaneous nature, out of his own fear and also as a result of your attitude at that time.

[...] It is nevertheless in a constant state of pulsation, and because of the nature of energy and its construction, the body is actually blinking off and on.

Other portions of yourself, therefore, of which you are not consciously aware, do inhabit what you could call a supersystem of reality in which consciousness learns to handle and perceive much stronger concentrations of energy, and to construct “forms” of a different nature indeed.

[...] You projected it unknowingly, but through quite natural laws. [...]

[...] You will follow your own lines of development, and through means far too difficult to explain here, you add to the experience of the superself and also then extend the nature of its reality. [...]

[...] He was naturally expressive and open with people. [...]

[...] Ruburt, incidentally, had a natural abortion because the message was already in the body, and all of his worries and concerns were unnecessary. [...]

[...] They fit in with nature’s plans, and with the psychological plans of the personalities involved. [...]

[...] While you happily worked and caroused quite innocently, you also began half unconsciously to further question the nature, not necessarily of society, but of the individual lives you met within it. [...]

[...] Chicken pox, measles, and other like diseases in childhood in their own way “naturally inoculate” the body, so that it is able to handle other elements that are a part of the body and the body’s environment.

When civilized children are medically inoculated against such diseases, however, they usually do not show the same symptoms, and to an important extent the natural protective processes are impeded. [...]

[...] This does not mean that they are necessarily contagious at all, but that they do bear an overall relationship to the give-and-take between individuals and their social and natural frameworks.

(This led rather naturally into a discussion of ages. [...]

[...] This naturally surprised us. [...]

[...] In view of earlier material I remembered, I thought the 67th- year information was a distortion, and that such a distortion was natural enough when one talked about one’s own passing. [...]

[...] The responsibility of dealing with manipulation within the physical universe remains, but in some respects the nature of this manipulation changes. [...]

[...] This is the inner nature of action. [...]

[...] Now to some degree you have a root nature, then, and many of your dreams will be similar. [...]

[...] I thought that was perfectly natural, but extending those feelings for the next 30 years would seem to be too much in nature’s scheme—as I’ve said before, it doesn’t seem to me that nature necessarily wants things to work that way, while making perfectly possible the fact that they can, if one chooses. [...]

[...] You see me in the poetry, the psychic developments, and Sumari, but I have been forced to follow certain lines, as you suspected, despite my nature. Far more than Ruburt suspects from the beginning, his natural creative drives were also used to their ends, both religious, social, and as a way of gaining approval.

Quite unwittingly because of your own nature, you tilted the balance for a while. [...]

[...] These come from her childhood, her religious upbringing, her own strong moralistic and literal nature, plus probably reincarnational data about which we know very little. [...]

(I told Jane today that when a fear is expressed, it takes its natural place in the scheme of things and no longer grows unseen. [...]

This applies particularly to color; and also it responds strongly in a positive or negative manner to natural fabrics, such as wools and cottons.

[...] It is the intuitive, spontaneous and psychically exuberant nature of Ruburt’s whole entity, for one thing, that makes it possible for me to communicate with you both.

It is, as a rule, lack of knowledge on the part of the ego as to the nature of reality, and its part in it, and the resulting fear, that often prevents a personality from accepting spontaneous expression of emotions in general. [...]

[...] The desire to set yourself apart from emotion, and coolly appraise it, is merely an indication of the ego’s characteristic nature. [...]

[...] In greater terms, however, mutant life would emerge — mutant only by your standards — but life quite natural to itself.

[...] Those cells that now compose your own bodies have combined and discombined many times to form other portions of the natural environment.

This inner and yet physical transmigration of consciousness has always been extremely important, and represents a natural method of communication, uniting all species and all physical life. [...]

[...] Its impetus, however, comes from within the nature of consciousness itself. [...]

[...] The molecular structure of the projecting self is of a different nature than that of the physical body. There is no change in the physical nature of the door, for example. [...]

It may be that the frog could have learned more by exploring his own frogness, and, certainly, I felt rather superior to the frog and the nature of his search — that’s implied in the poem. [...]

The experience of “coming to life during dreams” with any consistency, having some critical awareness, some rational control, some glimpse of other-dimensional reality — these events in the overall are bound to transform ordinary concepts regarding the nature of consciousness.

[...] But if you do not will it to disappear or realize its nature, then you must deal with it.

“You must still be able to experience any one of these illusions, knowing they are illusory, with full knowledge of their nature, and still know that the basic reality is yourself. [...] You must be free enough to explore the nature and experience of each living thing within your own system, knowing that it is yourself, and then leave your system. [...]

[...] I’ve never been one to accept other people’s word about the nature of things, even though at times I have accepted more than I should have. [...]

[...] It certainly seemed to give some kind of evidence for Seth’s independent nature, unless Phil hallucinated the voice and Seth took advantage of the fact and claimed it as his own. [...]

[...] We also accept Seth’s statements as meaningful, significant explanations of the nature of reality and mankind’s position within it. [...]

[...] It doesn’t seem right, or natural, that an individual might have to spend say fifty years suffering in life for things that happened to him when he was a child, say; I don’t think nature would arrange things that way—it’s too self-defeating....” [...]

[...] To some extent you both felt guilty that a certain kind of clear knowledge seemed so naturally and clearly available. [...]

[...] Ruburt was astonished, and became more so at the spontaneous nature of his own and my creativity. [...]

These involved large vital issues regarding the nature of suffering. [...]

(In Session 725 Seth discussed the spiritual aspects of our biological nature, and in Note 4 for that session I presented brief excerpts from the material he’d given in ESP class the night before, on the truly limitless “ceilings to the self” or identity.

(In that same class, however, Seth also brought our biological nature “down to earth” in most literal terms. [...]
