“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, you see, we are trying something new, and you saw it in operation briefly in New York.

[...] It should be noted here that the dream book was rejected last week by the first publisher to see it, Doubleday; but oddly enough Jane feels the idea was at least partly sparked, for the new book, by this rejection.)

[...] The new book represents a sign of victory.

[...] The new book will be the reconciliation, and it will mark the beginning of Ruburt’s real work.

(9:30.) Now (underlined): When he dreamed—when he dreamed (underlined)—man actually returned to a state prior to waking, from which his physical life itself had emerged—only now he was a new creature, a new kind of consciousness, and so were all of the other species. [...]

Seth didn’t come through last Monday evening, New Year’s Eve. [...]

Happy New Year.

[...] Creatures relied upon inner senses while learning to operate the new, highly specific physical ones that pinpointed perception in time and place. [...]

[...] Dr. Gibson and a new colleague visited her briefly also. [...] When I got there at 1:10 this noon a new nurse—a “floater”—was hooking Jane up to her antibiotic, Kefzol. [...] She also had a friend—a Ms. Coleman—who had visited Jane from New York City 10 years ago.)

(2. What does Jane’ sinful self think of the proceedings these days—of Jane’s new resolve and decisions toward healing? [...]

[...] I look forward tomorrow to new signs. [...]

[...] He then discovers a newly-born puppy, fully alive, and this represents his finding and claiming the new spontaneous, creative portions of his being. He is on the way to register the puppy and claim it at a local police station, which means he was introducing this portion of himself to all other parts, and legitimizing it with the authorities—meaning that he was accepting it wholeheartedly under the auspices of the new authority of the self. [...]

(As soon as Carol left, Jane’s hands began to hurt and rotate in a new way at the same time, as if the palms were trying to turn up. [...] I hated to interrupt her new motions by turning her on her left side, but she was ready to go. [...]

[...] I was working on a new kind of greeting card that could, I think, actually be quite successful. [...]

[...] I thought the dream very positive, and showed that Jane was shedding old beliefs and starting anew with new ones. [...]

[...] She is doing well in the bathroom with the new chair, but still feels momentary panic when she has to move from her chair onto the bed; I help her do this. [...]

(I’ve picked up her new reading glasses at Jim Adams’s office, but she hasn’t been wearing them because they need adjusting. [...]

[...] This also applies to beneficial alterations in the ankles and toes, where additional fluids resulting in the swelling effect help cushion the new motion in particular of some joints, so there is no grating. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) In a way the material that Ruburt is receiving will also open new doorways even as far as our sessions are concerned. [...]

[...] All of the reunion participants live in the New York City and New Jersey area just across the Hudson River. In his letter Wendell does not name the town or city in which the reunion, at a restaurant, took place, but from following data Jane and I surmise it took place in New York City.

[...] Driving into New York City by tunnel from New Jersey, I remember a long curving tunnel lit by strings of lights. [...] If he drove to New York City by private car, he would presumably head south and take the first tunnel he met—the Lincoln.

[...] The envelope object is postmarked Ridgewood, NJ, which lies on the outer rim of the commuter towns attendant to New York City. The letter the object contained, however, was written by Wendell at his home in Edgewater, NJ, which is just across the Hudson from New York City. [...]

(Tunnels would also be involved going to New York City, but not as far as I know in travel on only the New Jersey side of the Hudson. [...]

[...] Your experience creates new questions in the same way that a painter creates new paintings.

Again, Ruburt and Joseph have moved to a new place. Each reader has also journeyed to a new position within the psyche, however. [...]

[...] I’ve said it before, I know, but this book started when we were thinking of moving, and now we’re settled in a new place, so that makes a good time to end it.”

[...] The unknown reality will become known to the extent that you form new questions, and forget the old frameworks in which answers and myths were automatically given in response. [...]

(After lunch Jane told me that she’d had a new catheter inserted at about 3:30 this morning. [...] But she needed the new one after the new girl on the floor had pulled it loose several times while taking care of her. [...]

It would be a good idea once or twice for him to remember the Jungle Gym (in Webster, New York where my younger brother Bill and his family live), and the first time he remembered faltering in a physical fashion. [...]

(Jane received her first intimation that something new might develop in the sessions when she was reading over last Wednesday’s session after supper tonight. [...]

[...] She was not particularly trying psychological time, yet she felt that she was familiarizing herself for a new development. [...]

(The session did begin in a new way. [...]

[...] It is simply a matter of new orientation, and doing without certain props that are basically unimportant, but practically extremely convenient; such props as the divisions of sensation, fenced in from each other by pickets of minutes.

[...] Reincarnational selves are like leaves that have left the plant, choosing a new medium of existence. [...] These selves, however, dropping from one branch of time, root themselves in another time and become new plants from which others will sprout.

(“Do you mean ‘new selves’ instead of ‘new plants’?”)

[...] A completely different kind of focus was presented, in which the ancestors were understood to contribute to the “new” experience of the living; one in which the physically focused consciousness clearly saw itself as perceiving the world for itself, but also for all of those who had gone before — (gradually louder for emphasis:) while realizing that in those terms he or she would contribute as well as the generations past.

[...] The characteristics of the animals were understood to continue “life,” adding their qualities to the experience of the self in a new way.³ You had better put “life” in quotes in that last sentence.

[...] Looking back from my position within the framework of simultaneous time, I’m amazed to see that another ten years passed before the publication of this little book by Amber-Allen/New World Library. [...] Janet Mills, the publisher and editor for the new editions of Jane’s books, suggested that I write a bit about the situation. [...]

[...] Later, she helped me proofread the new editions of Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal Reality that Amber-Allen/New World Library has published. [...]

[...] At the same time, I wondered often if it was of any use to try publishing Seth books, old or new — why do so, if sales were falling? [...]

[...] For she “found” Janet Mills and Amber-Allen/New World Library. [...]

[...] Each day brings something new. [...] It’s part of the rhythmic healing process going on in her body, as Seth described it recently, moving through different areas successively, followed each time by new releases. [...]

[...] The new viewpoint, with its new attractions—helping with work, helping with house chores—these automatically take his mind elsewhere, and act as further stimuli. [...]

[...] The ankles and feet are beginning to respond to the new requirements, and the knee joints themselves, now, are increasing their lubrication, and gently beginning new motion.

The weekend brought new activity in that neck area, bringing discomfort, but also new releases to the shoulders and the rib portions, loosening the stomach muscles. [...]

[...] The new bath towels, incidentally, these are an excellent idea. Ruburt was strongly attracted to your new rug because of the contrast, this in itself allows steady and harmonious expression of his own personality.

The birth principle is also here on your parts, not mine, in that the sessions involve a projection into a reality that is largely new, and a birth on your parts, you see. Out of the womb of earth into a new dimension. [...]

[...] Inner knowledge is reflected in new physical ways. [...]

[...] Ruburt is still slightly distrustful of the new conditions, asking will they last. [...]

11 AM–12:30: (Sheri calls about New York Post centerfold.)

Breezeway PM: Response right knee new, left forefinger healing all over—talked to parent of my being. [...]

(After Seth had answered questions from some of the others present, Jane came out of trance and we discussed what had been said … eventually getting into the question of whether or not Seth’s ideas were “old” or “new.” [...] Others thought it was new, or at least totally original with the Seth material as such.¹⁰ Then Seth returned:)

Now, the material is new, as you yourselves are new. [...]

[...] You are never repeated, and what you know is always new. [...] And ancient and new.

[...] — there are points, again speaking simply and in your terms, where probabilities meet: intersections with space and time that occur in your minds while you change directions, where new probabilities that once lay latent suddenly emerge.⁹ And in terms of your civilization and your time, such a time is now.

[...] This noon Paul O’Neill left me at the house Jane’s new lower teeth, so I could take them to her. [...]

(Jane tried the new teeth before lunch, after I’d turned her. [...]

[...] Jane began reading yesterday’s session, and did very well, considering the new teeth. [...]

(Jane had a new catheter inserted this morning, by the way, and now she had some spasms and gas while reading the session. [...]

[...] Action divides itself into various selves, and then explores the moment points of experience, for each new self is indeed a new action, an original act.

[...] Physical offspring are originally projections, but these originate new acts despite the original idea behind them. That is, the parents wish to project themselves, you see, but instead are the participators of a new personality.

[...] On the other hand it is an entrance into unknown possibilities and new dimensions. [...]

[...] When B receives the thought, it is already a new thought, bearing great resemblance to the original, but it is not the identical thought.

[...] The original thought is used as a pattern, therefore, for the creation of a new electrical reality, which may or may not be directed at any given receiver. [...]

[...] These include, to begin with, the original intensity of the thought as A possesses it, A’s ability to duplicate the thought as far as possible, the relative stability of the electrical thought unit as it is formed by A, the familiarity or unfamiliarity of the range of frequencies that compose the new thought to any intended receiver.

[...] He interprets its meaning, and forms a new thought identity.

[...] In a way she wants to be free of the house of life that she has literally formed, to find a new endeavor … to begin anew. [...] She also wants to begin a new life.

New paragraph: While your beliefs do structure much of your dream activity, other issues are also involved simply because the focus of your awareness is not acutely directed toward physical reality, but is only opaquely concerned with it.

[...] You may therefore accept new beliefs initially in the dream state, and the intellectual or emotional realization may only come “later.” [...]

New paragraph: In somewhat the same manner, your physical brain is a doorway that triggers activity in your mind. [...]

[...] My pendulum confirms my new attitudes. I plan to reinforce the new suggestions daily for some time with the pendulum and without—but I already feel that a change has taken place.

[...] That represents the one physical area concerning health in which you are not fully relying upon yourself, or new beliefs. [...]

(A note for the record: Late this afternoon—Tuesday, ESP class day—Jane and I were filmed for a New York City TV show. [...]
