“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Naturally. [...]

[...] It is somewhat fashionable to place feelings above conscious thoughts, the idea being that emotions are more basic and natural than conscious reasoning is. [...]

[...] There is much written about the nature of healing, and there will be material in this book dealing with it, but there is also healing-in-reverse, in which case an individual loses a belief in his or her health and accepts instead the idea of personal illness.

These chemical excesses are a natural byproduct of consciousness that is bound up in physical materialization. [...]

[...] Although this necessary chemical fuel is generated through intense activity of a mental or psychic nature, it is released, making projections possible in alternating periods of quietude and rest.

[...] Periods of heightened sexual activity of a strong and deep nature will help. [...]

I find myself trying to instruct you both again in the true nature of practicality.

[...] The existence of each of the species is dependent upon trust, indeed a biological optimism, in which each species feels the freedom to develop the potentials of its members in relative safety, within the natural frameworks of existence. Each species comes into being not merely feeling a natural built-in trust in its own validity, but is literally propelled by exuberance in its ability to cope with its environment. [...]

You have genetic systems, then, carrying (long pause) information that is literally incalculatable.¹ Now: Through your technologies, through your physical experience, you are also surrounded by an immense array of communication and information of an exterior nature. [...]

If there is no life after life,
then what a lack
of cosmic economy,
for nature strings one molecule
on to another so craftily
that each seed can grow a tree,
and contains the properties
of an entire forest,
while multiplications
are hidden everywhere.

[...] Several sessions ago we got into a conversation about the nature of the way you perceive this reality although we didn’t get into your own particular...”)

[...] In other words, if you had made kind of a nebulous statement about the nature of your perceptivity, if you had said something...”)

I am making statements about the nature of my perceptivity and your own. [...]

[...] Now those who have come open-mindedly to class have found their proofs; and proofs that were not dependent upon cards or showy tricks, but strong proof in that the nature of their reality changed. [...]

As you and your brothers or sisters might belong to the same physical family, so generally are you and your counterparts part of the same psychic group of consciousness.¹ Remember, however, that these psychic groups are like natural formations into which consciousness seems to flow. [...]

[...] They believe in the creativity of change, naturally occurring.

(9:55.) If you begin to look into the nature of yourself, and feel intuitively that you are a Sumari, then you should look for a position in which you can use your inventiveness. [...]

[...] In other words, this is not an undifferentiated consciousness that addresses you now, but one that understands the nature of its own identity.

[...] (Jane briefly picked up the material mentioned before the start of the session.) Since you are naturally interested in your own physical system, we will deal thoroughly with the methods by which reality turns itself into camouflage. Also, we will deal with other methods to be used by you, that will allow you to perceive more clearly the basic nature of reality (pause), in quotes “showing through” physical camouflage. [...]

[...] Jane’s trance was now deeper, her delivery more emphatic and a little stronger.) We will want to deal overall with the nature of reality as it exists within your camouflage system, as it exists in other systems, and with the overall characteristics that pertain to it, regardless of any given manifestation. [...]

We will maintain some sort of sensible consecutive nature here in the material, though the separation is of course arbitrary. [...]

[...] The physical senses allow you to perceive the three-dimensional world, and yet by their very nature they can inhibit the perception of other equally valid dimensions. [...]

[...] Nor has its true nature been recognized.

If you have a limited conception of the nature of reality, then your ego will do its best to keep you in the small enclosed area of your accepted reality. [...]

At the basis of almost all problems of any nature there is a point where value fulfillment is being denied. [...]

[...] They unite and stimulate his creative abilities so that he does what comes naturally, easily and vitally to him, searching out his own view of reality—but in certain areas the intellect and the emotions begin to separate in their visions of the picture of the world. [...]

[...] Ruburt will naturally seek your aid, however, and your helpful hand, as he moves out of those limited corridors of activity—and so he is. [...]

You must understand the nature of reality before you manipulate within it intelligently and well. [...]

[...] And the way is to begin the journey, as Ruburt told you, into the nature of your own consciousness for the answers are within you and not out from you... [...]

[...] and yet in that one particular life I learned more about the nature of spontaneity and joy than in many of my ponderous intellectual existences.

I will give you more on the sinful self (long pause), and I myself like to have our material smoothly flowing in your directions, so that the sinful self material will naturally come when it is most naturally meant and needed. [...]

[...] Your natural health and creativity and motion will be expressed at all levels of your experience. [...]

You must understand the nature of reality before you can manipulate within it intelligently and well. [...]

[...] And the way is to begin the journey, as Ruburt told you, into the nature of your own consciousness for the answers are within you andnot out from you—and no one can tell you the answers. [...]

[...] And yet I will tell you, that as a frivolous female who loved to play with a ball in the bright afternoon and had no chores to perform, seemingly an idle life and seemingly a quite useless personality—I was not burdened with intellect—and yet in that one particular life I learned more about the nature of spontaneity and joy than in many of my ponderous intellectual existences. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) There is a definite connection, then, with the nature of such images and the way in which your body itself is composed.

[...] There’s a great kind of fulfilling sense of triumph, doing it, like you’re pulling stuff out of the secret nature of things. [...]

(“The needs and desires of others naturally enter in,” Seth continued, “and some energy must be used to close them out. [...]

These were all exterior versions of his inner spiritual journeys, for he now looked to nature for support, sustenance, and strength. He looked to nature’s virtues. [...]

Emerson, Whitman, to some extent Thoreau—these were men who spoke of self-reliance, either in the natural or the spiritual world, or both. [...]

“… you are a part of nature, and that is your saving grace—that no matter how you try to leave that framework you exist within it, so that you communicate with earth at other levels, even if you refuse to be aware of that communication. [...]

What we want is an altered approach to life itself, to one that follows the kind of natural approach to living that children unerringly possess, but to one that is also enriched with experience that a child does not possess. [...]

It is Ruburt’s nature you see to accept heartily or to disagree heartily, to plunge headlong into, or to run from, and the psychic developments made it impossible for him to do either; or rather his reactions made wholehearted acceptance or rejection impossible. [...]

Periods of belief would be followed by periods of skepticism, and the wavering nature makes it most difficult for me to give him the very assurance that he needs. [...]

I cannot stress too strongly the fact that any investigation into the nature of the human personality must indeed follow the lines which have been here given. The nature of reality, uncamouflaged, can be glimpsed to some degree as you study the personality in the dream state, where awareness does not operate in an ego-directed manner.

Its nature becomes known, for the personality, again, is not an object, nor is it an unchanging unit. [...]

Again, the nature of space and time is glimpsed more clearly as it appears to the sleeping self, for in the dream state reality is to a large measure uncamouflaged, and the personality appears in a freer state. [...]

It is natural then that such a study will involve us in many allied matters. [...]

[...] You want to feel free to give of your own nature, not when it is demanded by contract. [...]

[...] The fear under those circumstances of letting go, and yet the fear has to do with the deeper fear involving the nature of your own inner faith—thoughts, of course, of being annihilated, not however by the emotions of another, but by your own.

[...] In the spontaneous, normal natural feelings you have, you always question: How far am I going, how much am I giving? [...]

[...] I am saying that the rebellious streak in your nature seems male to you.

And speaking of matter, I am aware that Ruburt picked up a book on the nature of matter, which is to the good. [...]

We have much yet to cover about various topics only lightly touched upon so far, including the nature of matter, the process involved in its continual creation and manipulation, and the truly astounding cooperation involved, as all living things contribute their energy to keep the physical universe in any kind of permanent, coherent form.

[...] Yet even the appearance of this physical material, though it seems more or less permanent by its nature, is not permanent, and is only cohesive enough to give the appearance of relative permanence to the senses that perceive it.

The nature of matter is an extremely difficult sore point in your scientific circles. [...]
