“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Not only this, but he needs other interests to refresh him. [...] He need not always be so serious. [...]

Ruburt need not spend 24 hours a day thinking about his work. [...]

He has felt the need of sleep because he has been overly anxious to set things right. [...]

[...] (Humor.) Now that he is “good,” in quotes, he need not make a saint of himself overnight. [...]

He always needed approval, desperately. [...]

I need freedom and agility of thought, where he tends to repress me unless I conform to definite ideas of good and wrong. [...]

[...] There is a great division of energy, as there is in all creators, but in his case between the need for spontaneity and discipline, safety and freedom, and these are clearly seen in the body’s condition right now.

[...] Part of this was caused by this need for approval.

[...] The fact is, you were not able to give your dog that added emotional vitality at a time when he needed it most. There is no need to blame yourselves. [...]

This afternoon Jane said she’d learned from Seth that we’d come down with those indispositions because we wanted to use our bodies’ immune systems; those structures needed the workouts, in other words. [...]

[...] Any steady use of vitamins is not to your overall benefit, for you give the body what it needs too easily, and its ability to produce such material on its own becomes sluggish. [...]

[...] In the case of the first cat, you were able to reinforce its strength and maintain its health for quite a while, and then you needed your energies for yourselves. [...]

He told you he thought you both needed help in getting him into the car, which would necessitate motions quite difficult for him at that point in time—but he went along with your opinion, feeling again that negative suggestion alone was responsible for his own feelings. The body simply knew it did not need that extra stress in a time of stress. [...]

(After tonight’s session, and echoing my own ideas of how adamant Jane was becoming about the medical scene, I said that it would be ironic indeed if her encounters with the medical establishment furnished the final great impetus she needed to divest herself of the symptoms and inflate recovery; anything to get away from the massively negative pronouncement of the doctors, to dump old ideas, to set the body free to heal itself. [...]

Ruburt needed some time to rest, and so did you. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Your massage today, for example (after Hal Williams), was an excellent translation of love and comfort, felt directly at one level of your own being, to the level within Ruburt where it was most needed. [...]

You will accept your present position, whatever it is, as being a part of that direction, and realize that from it can come all the creative elements that you need. [...]

[...] They may need to be restructured rather than denied.

For a while the new adults often feel themselves to be invincible, beyond the boundaries of creaturehood, even; this belief, again, endows them with the strength and energy they need to begin a life for themselves and to form their own mass world. [...]

[...] This may be quite beneficial for the person involved at a given time, to provide the needed impetus for development and the necessary independence in which the ability can grow. [...]

Psychologists often speak of the needs of man. [...] It is not so much that man or nature seeks to satisfy needs, but to exuberantly, rambunctiously seek pleasure—and through following its pleasure each organism finds and satisfies its needs as well. Far more is involved in the experience of life, however, than the satisfaction of bare needs, for life is everywhere possessed with a desire toward quality—a quality that acknowledges the affirming characteristics of pleasure itself.

[...] Oftentimes much of the material did not need to become conscious: It was “unconsciously” acted upon, turned directly into action. Now such dreams simply act as backup systems, rising to the fore whenever they are needed. [...]

[...] The dreamers would travel out-of-body in various directions to see the extent of drought conditions, and to ascertain the best direction for the tribe to take in any needed migration.

[...] The body has been calling for more food and nourishment, and quite unconsciously he has been consuming a larger amount of peanut butter, which is giving him several nutriments that he needs.

The fact is of course that he doesn’t need any of the symptoms, but in the interrelationship of his beliefs the cold results as a method of understanding, and of bringing about certain necessary physical changes.

[...] He needed to see how he himself in a relatively harmless (underlined) incident in miniature, so to speak, could create such conditions as the cold, and in growing out of it see how he can grow out of the other symptoms.

[...] He needed to know that people saw and recognized the symptoms of a cold so that when he was rid of it he could see for himself that they no longer perceived those symptoms in him.

[...] Needs are met. [...]

In the group, you may suddenly cease to provide for the others a need that you satisfied earlier. [...]

[...] There may be those who need the old framework, and someone, if not you, to play the part you played before. [...]

[...] The old beliefs served a purpose and fulfilled a need.

[...] Besides, that would put an unnecessary burden on the reader, who might feel he or she needed a particular vocabulary. [...] Although most people might need to work at it to understand the material, there’d be no automatic difficulties with words.”

[...] I need you to coach me, to ask, ‘What’s happening now?’ to keep me focused on one channel…. [...]

[...] There had been a number of developments in the past few days, and the session that follows outlines some of those as they apply to Jane’s condition, so there’s little need to repeat them here.

[...] Practically, he is indeed experiencing more discomfort than he needs to.

[...] He felt a sense of accomplishment, and some delight with himself when he walked to the end of the room and back without needing the chair. [...]

[...] According to the day, the situation, you may then want to work with the pendulum, considering some specific event or issue from that day—but this need not be a lengthy session at all. [...]

There are other dream episodes that Ruburt has forgotten, and help that he has received, that does not need to become conscious. All that is primarily needed is trust in those healing processes, and particularly in the body’s relaxation. [...]

[...] There is no need saying, “What a ridiculous way to feel” —not an attempt to disinherit the feelings, but to accept them as one’s own, and compassionately explain the mitigating circumstances and new knowledge that alter the initial circumstances that stimulated the feelings to begin with. [...]

In other words, the psychic development is a part of his natural growth (long pause), a reaffirmation and restructuring of inner information that in one fashion or another was always available to him, but needed to find a conscious format, a conscious expression, a way to pierce the seemingly opaque habits of knowledge of the cultural world. [...]

[...] Actually I had many questions, but decided to forgo them since Seth had remarked earlier that Jane needed time to assimilate the material he’s already given.)

We will continue along the lines begun, since (humorously) you seem to need this particular material now.

[...] Soon you will be able to do this automatically, but in the beginning conscious effort is needed.

“I am free to stand or kneel, to run expectantly forward, for there is nothing ahead of me that I need fear, and the way ahead of me is clear and open. [...]

[...] I will need to give you more specific directions however, and for these I will wait until your next session.

[...] Now (smiling:) You do not need to put in my first now’s. (But I had already done so.)

[...] It needed the existence of a sophisticated memory system in which new situations and experiences could be judged against recalled ones, and evaluations made in an in-between moment of reflection.

(Long pause at 9:56.) So controls were needed lest the conscious mind, denied full use of the animals’ innate taboos, run away with itself. [...]

[...] Conscious killing beyond the needs of sustenance is a violation.

[...] You have directed it for example in health better, but you still need to get the feel of it. [...]

[...] You each need that refreshment.

[...] Your financial needs are now being more than satisfied, and there will also be breakthroughs, so that you are contributing. [...]

[...] He did not understand that the spontaneous self knows its own order (gently), or that the spontaneous creative self had any notion of his conscious needs and desires. [...]

[...] You do not need your body then to make such a statement for you. [...]

[...] (Pause.) When you see yourselves as being primarily in direct opposition to the ideas of the world (pause), then Ruburt feels the need also to overprotect himself from it. [...]

The upsurge of fundamental religion in the Arab world (meaning Iran) has a certain correlation with the upsurges of fundamental Christianity in your country, and will indeed serve as a needed reminder around the world of the exaggerated nature that religion can take when it is allied with government. [...]

[...] For physical reasons of course you need that camouflage interpretation, but you also need to learn the difference between it and inner cognizance.

Your remark earlier to him to relax in the moment is indeed an important key, and he needs that reminder. [...]

[...] A thorough knowledge of form was needed so that it could be represented by line or color. [...]

The living vitality of a cordella rises out of the universe’s need to express and understand itself, to form in ever-changing patterns and take itself by surprise. [...]

[...] There will be, at some time, those interested in a study in depth of the material; and as Ruburt’s students have seen to it that their need is satisfied, so will these people see to it. [...]

[...] As any good writer should know, tell Ruburt he need not explain my characteristics; simply include excerpts that show them.

In other words the repressed emotionalism will only carry you so far before you need to be refreshed in Ruburt’s reality; and through approaching his reality you also gain, in a different manner than you usually know it, refreshment from the natural world.

[...] His need of you on the other hand also keeps him from plunging, as he did in his past life, too deeply and emotionally into other realities without the brakes that the intellect usually applies. [...]

[...] I thought of Jane confining her replies to correspondents via postcard only, or at least only rarely sending out the letters with a longer reply to someone truly in need. [...]

[...] No need then to carry it further. [...]

(Long pause.) Ruburt has at times gone overboard in a feeling of responsibility toward those who write in need. [...]

(Pause.) The feeling of responsibility to help those in desperate need is but one facet, however, for he has felt a responsibility (underlined) to get our material to the people as soon as possible—a responsibility to appear on television or otherwise, to promote our ideas, or to present them to the world—a responsibility that I have not encouraged. [...]

[...] I am behind you in the dark and I give you a push when it is needed—not a hard push—a nudge. [...]

[...] There is no need for you to concentrate so avidly and exclusively upon the physical paths. [...]

[...] The barriers that you erect are no longer needed. [...]

[...] You do not need to raise your hand. [...]

[...] That knowledge is all, now, that he needs.

[...] All he needs to know, however, and he is nearly there, is that the body is not restrained by past beliefs. [...]
