“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This retreat from pleasure begins to cut down upon normal activity, new encounters, or explorations that might in themselves help relieve the problem by opening up new options. [...]

[...] Under such conditions it seems only rational to look for the worm in the apple, so to speak, and to expect pain or danger in each new experience or encounter.

[...] The other is that at 4:27 Jane called my attention to a new motion of hers: She reached across her belly with her right hand and down to the bed on her left side, to pick up a smidgeon of tobacco or bread crust. [...]

[...] She told me that she’d had to counter negative suggestions given to her in hydro this morning by both Lottie and Georgia, relative to new bedsores breaking out beside the sits of old ones—in other words, she was always to have bedsores. [...]

[...] The large complex dealing with the development of the new drugs and so forth forms its own organization, so that the concentration is always upon more drugs, and the concept of any natural health is lost in the process. [...]

[...] Although one can say that her life is over in this reality, her lifework isn’t. Many have written that her books are new each time they read them — that they’re constantly finding new material in them. [...]

Energy or action is composed of an infinity of itself, and yet, forever acting upon itself, it forms forever new portions of itself. [...] Now until we have done more talking you will simply have to take my word, for the sake of our discussion—our one-way discussion—that any action or energy possesses consciousness seeking to know itself, therefore; and acting within itself it forms new consciousnesses that are individual and independent, and yet connected to every other consciousness.

—and our greetings to our new friend.

[...] They will have to do with our new friend. [...]

[...] (To Venice:) our new friend reminds me of the Jesuit when he first came to our sessions (Bill Gallagher)—watching, when break came, to see when Ruburt and I should fall apart from each other. [...]

[...] On other occasions the areas from the hips downward would stretch considerably, with much new activity in the knee joints and the ankles.

In between, there were periodic periods of new stability, where the newly activated portions moved and held. [...]

By yesterday several new and significant changes appeared. [...]

[...] At that point he immediately took it for granted, with a rush of self-disapproval, that this was a sign that he had learned nothing, and that his body was objecting to the whole idea of going out, and therefore challenging him—in other words, that his negative beliefs had risen to challenge new healthier attitudes.

[...] Only when the private nature of reality was emphasized sufficiently would I be ready to show how the magnification of individual reality combines and enlarges to form vast mass reactions — such as, say, the initiation of an obviously new historical and cultural period; the rise or overthrow of governments; the birth of a new religion that sweeps all others before it; mass conversions; mass murders in the form of wars; the sudden sweep of deadly epidemics; the scourge of earthquakes, floods, or other disasters; the inexplicable appearance of periods of great art or architecture or technology.

[...] There is a rush to develop a new inoculation against the newest virus. [...] Then as a preventative measure the populace is invited to the new inoculation.

[...] At the same time, Jane and I want each book to be complete in itself, so that the “new” reader can begin to understand what’s happening from the very beginning. [...]

[...] The two of you — for you are both involved — have not only initiated a new framework from which you and others can view the nature of reality more clearly, but you also had to start from scratch, so to speak, to get the material, learn to trust it, and then to apply it to your own lives — even while ‘the facts were not all in yet.’ At no point did you have all of the material to draw upon, as for example, your readers do at any given point. [...]

[...] Searle was facing stiff competition in a market that now favored the buyer, John said, and new methods and perhaps new personnel were called for to meet the problem.

As the physical atoms and molecules combine to form cells, and the cells to form physical organs, and as they do not lose their individuality in so doing, and as the atoms and molecules themselves actually gain and share in higher perceptions because of this gestalt, so do the basic components or fragments of an entity constantly form new and varied personalities; and these in turn form entities of their own.

There is indeed no contradiction, though it may appear so, in the fact that all entities existed before your planet was formed, and the fact that fragments form new entities. [...]

[...] Then it is no contradiction to say that entities existed before the birth of your planet, though in your time it seems that new ones are being brought to consciousness.

[...] Now I’m organizing my files for new work, doing some painting, and making a few picture frames for both of us, a very pleasant interlude for a change. [...]

[...] His cancer had reoccurred; he had taken a new series of treatments for it, and was again in a state of in-between, or perhaps remission. [...]

(As for myself, I have yet to add new questions to the list Seth suggested I make up, concerning his current material. [...]

It is possible that such a healing can automatically give the family as a whole a new set of beliefs. [...]

There were also some hints in it that you will use subconsciously, and from which new developments will grow. [...]

(Looking up the address of this publisher, she was further surprised to learn that it was at 386 Park Avenue South, New York City—the same address as Frederick Fell, the publisher of her ESP book. [...]

(When Jane and I visited F. Fell’ s office in New York City last July, we stood in the foyer of 386 Park Avenue South and scanned the list of tenants. [...]

[...] You need the time to correlate the new data. [...]

The mass psyche was seeking for a change, an impetus, a flowering, a new organization. The idea of a redeemer was hardly new, but ancient in many traditions. As I stated before, that part of the world was filled with would-be messiahs, self-proclaimed prophets, and so forth, and in those terms it was only a matter of time before man’s great spiritual and psychic desires illuminated and filled up that psychological landscape, filling the prepared psychological patterns with a new urgency and intent. [...]

Jewish shepherds represented the placenta that was meant to be discarded, for it was Jewish tradition that nourished the new religion in its early stages before its birth. [...]

[...] At 9:23: “Now I can tell he’s got a new chapter heading…. [...]

Ruburt’s sense of disorientation is also partially the result of healing processes within his own body, and altering relationships—again, at intimate microscopic levels—which send their new “healing tremors” upward through the various formations of matter, so tell him to enjoy it.

[...] He’d stopped by on his way home to give me my old lenses, since he’d forgotten to do so at his office four days ago, when I’d had them replaced in my favorite old frames by the new, weaker lenses. [...]

[...] In Mass Events Seth told us: “Consciousness forms the genes, and not the other way around, and the about-to-be-born infant is the agency that adds new material through the chromosomal structure.” [...]

Now: in Ruburt’s story of Emir, he presents a theoretical new earth, yet in the truest meaning of that term, earth is ever-new, for fresh energy comes into the exterior world from an interior source.

[...] Literally, portions of your physical being are as new as at your birth. You have new skin. [...]

[...] Do not be concerned if his reading fluctuates, for the fluctuations are a necessary part of his improvement as various muscles try out their new facility. [...]

[...] As I did so she showed me a new motion with her right arm: now she could lift it higher from the shoulder as she lay on her back, and then reach farther across her body and up toward her left shoulder—something she hasn’t been able to do before today. [...]

(A note: I think that when he talked about the unchosen probabilities being changed by the one chosen, Seth might have at least hinted at something new in his material. [...]

SECOND ESSAY BY JANE ROBERTS: DREAMS FOR TWO AND SETH BEGINS A NEW PROJECT

There were several other themes floating about our lives … Sue Watkins’ new book Conversations with Seth about my E.S.P. classes was to appear in the fall. [...]

[...] I felt again that an entire new “package” of session material was coming our way — and I wanted to be able to put it to practical use. [...]

(Because of the press of other matters following the 753rd session — my work doing the notes for Seth’s “Unknown” Reality, Jane’s involvement in writing a new introduction for one of her own books that’s coming out in a new paperback edition, and a stream of unexpected visitors — we didn’t hold any sessions for several weeks. [...]

[...] They have moved to a new house. [...] Now it is quiet, with only the drone of Ruburt’s new refrigerator sounding like the deep purr of some mechanical animal.

[...] Then just before the session started, she said it would concern dictation on Seth’s new book.)

In this new book, therefore, I will sometimes provide my own “scene setting.” [...]

When you publish a paperback of ours, this is like publishing a new book for the first time. [...]

The paperbacks in the meantime are .picking up new readership that will broaden your base. [...]

[...] The new, sought-for natural stance has not yet been accomplished, but it is now actively in the process of being attained.

What can appear as disquieting, as for example his behavior on occasion at the garageway, is instead the body’s abandonment of past dependable but limited action, and its attempt to initiate new response. [...]

[...] (Pause.) By changing the names of objects you automatically look at them in a new fashion, yet certainly all objects will not be given names, for this would defeat our purpose. [...]

[...] By saying the words and opening your perception the meaning becomes clear in a way that cannot be stated in verbal terms, using your recognizable but rigid language pattern; so we will be dealing then with concepts as well as feelings, but seeking them through the use of a new method, and sometimes translating them back and forth for practice.

[...] As they surface they show the universe in a new light by the very nature of their relationships. [...]

[...] Then the cordella changes its nature, becomes another new emerging group of relationships, another lens in other words. [...]

(Through it all, however, we looked forward to our daily participation in Seth’s new book. [...] I encouraged her new free attitude.

These ancient aspects lie, now, deeply buried in the psyches of all species, and from them the individual patterns, the specific blueprints for new differentiations, emerge.

So does the human individual rise up in victorious distinctiveness from the ancient and yet ever-new fountains of its own soul. [...]

[...] Though you are not aware of it, this ego itself emerges, then falls back again into the unconscious, from which another ego then rises as a new bloom from the springtime earth.

[...] In between, while it may seem he is not being as creative, inner work is being done that will later appear in a new burst of creativity. [...]

[...] He will receive new insights and inspirations. [...]

[...] The new chair worked much better, but Jane had trouble keeping the cushion in place. [...]

[...] We tried the new contraption at noon when Jane got up, and it now works fairly well, well enough to be of consistent use. [...]

[...] Jane got blue over the hydro situation, the waiting, new people lifting her and not knowing how, etc. I met a couple of new nurses or aides myself. [...]

[...] At 3:36 a new nurse came in to take her temperature — 98.2. At 3:50 another nurse took her blood pressure.
