“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] (Pause.) In his thinking, in the quality of his thoughts, in their motion, he is indeed experimenting with a unique and a new kind of reality, forming other subjective worlds which will in their turn grow into consciousness and song, which will in their turn flower from a dream dimension into other ones. Man is learning to create new worlds. [...]

[...] Some of you have physical children as well—but you will all “one day” also be the mental parents of dream children who also waken in a new world, and look about them for the first time, feeling isolated and frightened and triumphant all at once. [...] All of your dreams somewhere waken, but when they do they waken with the desire for creativity themselves, and they are born of an innocent new intent. [...]

(A note added later: On my last New York State Visual Acuity Report, which he filled out in May 1983, John Smith wrote that I passed the test for driving without wearing glasses [combined Snellen test score 20/30]. However, when the postman delivered my new driver’s license—good for four years—that “x” was still there opposite “corrective lenses.” [...]

[...] Once John had assembled his pheropter, or lens unit, the test lenses making up the new prescription, my vision checked out at 20/15—better than the so-called normal 20/20. [...]

[...] Afternoon—all that hassle about the nutty bunch in New York call Tam—going to send him Bed. Got upset about the New York thing—forgot Seth’s “prime data” thing. [...]

You cannot see from New York to the west coast with your eyes. In those terms you have barely begun to pass through the state of New York in the mental journey the race has begun. [...]

[...] At the same time he forged a new kind of consciousness. That, combined with nature’s knowledge of itself, will lead to the new dimensions of experience necessary. [...]

[...] There are periods in history when this happened before, and a new kind of civilization resulted. [...]

[...] In the meantime, with the Cézanne material and the painting, he is opening up other areas that will make certain portions of my new book possible, for certain levels of understanding are acquired on his part.

(In the opening notes for last Wednesday’s session I described how Jane had started her new book, Psychic Politics, that same day while she had been immersed in a state of high creativity; I added that at the same time she’d become aware of a slightly different Jane in a psychic library from which, it seemed, she was to get much of the material for Politics. [...] I quote in part: “There are ever-changing models for physical reality, transforming themselves constantly in line with new equations instantly set up with each new stabilization…. We tune in to these models, and our intersections with them alter them at any given point, causing new dimensions of actuality that then reach out from that new focus.”²

[...] New concepts were thought of as intuitional or psychic, as opposed to the conventional duties of the intellect, so the two seemed separate. [...] This actually provided an excellent transitory working method, for what he thought of as intuitions would instantly come up with a new psychic construct in answer to what he thought of as intellectual scrutiny and skepticism. [...]

During these years, then, Ruburt’s position within his psyche has gradually shifted until he found a new, for him better, firmer point of basis. From this new framework he can more effectively handle different kinds of stimuli, and form these together to construct an understandable model of other realities. [...]

(As I drove east on Water Street, heading for the center of Elmira, Jane exclaimed again and again over the new beauty she was discovering in her world. [...]

[...] I had to go to the bank to get checks and money orders to pay taxes and bills, hook up the garden hose, and learn how to work the new sprinkler I’d bought to spray the flowers out back. [...]

[...] Innately, each person does realize that there is life after death, and in some instances such people realize that it is indeed time to move to another level of reality, to die and set out again with another brand-new world.

[...] The desire to die is considered cowardly, even evil, by some religions — and yet behind that desire lies all of the vitality of the will to life, which may already be seeking for new avenues of expression and meaning.

This does not mean that anyone consciously decides to get such-and-such a disease, but it does mean that some people instinctively realize that their own individual development and fulfillment does now demand another new framework of existence.

[...] When he announces to you a new bodily feeling of release, to him personally it is as if he discovered a new planet.

[...] This will affect Politics, and initiate new developments on Ruburt’s part. It will result in the initiation of new psychic experiences on your part.

I told you when Tam was here (last week) that the books would change the nature of physical reality, and they will—to whatever degree as they alter beliefs and lead others into new experiences. [...]

(Seth mentioned Powers of Mind here, I think, because I got mad just before the session when I found a full-page ad for it in yesterday’s [Sunday’s] New York Times Book Section. [...]

[...] In New York now, and across the country, it is difficult to find objective work that is not highly stylized or sentimentalized.

[...] This material refers to some remarks I had made earlier, about trying to list galleries in New York City that I thought might be interested in my type of art, judging from their advertisements.)

I do not mean that you will have this in mind particularly, but that you will be looking at fruit in a new way, and from different viewpoints. [...]

(I told Jane however that we should get some material on a matter broached to her by letter last week by Reverend Crosson, re a speaking engagement in New York City later this year. [...]

[...] The new songs are the first step in this procedure. The ancient songs will follow when the practice of the new ones is complete.

(Here Seth means books on the ancient Sumari songs and on the new.)

The morning session involving the songs led him into a new kind of perceptive experience or trance state, in which he has not been before involved, and that will serve most beneficially in this and other areas and developments in the future.

You have begun highly significant new endeavors, under my auspices (smile), and that auspices will continue. [...]

I sense a new note full and free

as a whole new world in some

a new book to emerge

yet forms new alphabets of life

[...] The sense of form incidentally will, mark my words, emerge in a new way for you, but even the information given that so upset you had its purpose in your whole plan.

You knew when you would be ready and your emotions, repressed until then, would then emerge as new to illuminate the forms and to fill them out.

Wheat fields for example, filled not only with the vitality of sun and growth but bristling with creativity that (in quotes) “destroyed” each part of itself in death, that was transformed instantaneously into a new spectacular form in which the creativity and destruction were always apparent, and yet one in which violence was necessarily turned into life.

The image therefore of yourself standing with the knowledge of the unspoken, the unexpressed, on the verge of new expression. [...]

[...] Throughout history the downtrodden have often risen into power, using force, rebelling against their oppressors; and yet, learning little from that experience, they turn and become the new elite, the new power-holders. [...] Yet in retaliation they strike out, forming a new class of downtrodden who must in their turn rise and retaliate.

(As can be seen by Seth’s comments about the mass world mind-brain, he was all ready to launch into some new material. And though he mentioned a new book, Jane and I had no idea that he’d begin one within a few weeks’ time — yet that’s exactly what happened.

[...] You are both indeed beginning a new, more productive, surprisingly pleasant and somewhat extraordinary period of your lives. [...]

[...] I mopped some of it before the old mop went to pieces, so I must buy a new one. [...]

(After her lunch I read to Jane the same two sessions I’d read her yesterday — for February 1 and 5. I told her that my question for Seth is, why did the fever business start after her initiation of Day 1 of her new program? [...]

You and Ruburt have had the feeling many times — but what we are trying to do is change over completely from one mode of operation to another, and to construct, say, new inner blocks of meaning that will give rise to the next era.

(Long pause at 4:44.) What you are involved in then is really, of course, a completely new educational procedure, so that you are at least able to distinguish one style of thought from another, and therefore be freer to make choices.

[...] It was new, maybe; it would involve concepts that by themselves went against the grain of usual conscious thought, which wants to go consecutively. It’s as though my consciousness is trying to use a new kind of organization — for me, for it — and so there’s a kind of unfamiliarity. [...]

(She laughed again.) “I also have an awful feeling that I’m going to get some kind of instructions from Seth about what I’m to do physically in order to get this material, and so compensate for this new way of receiving things … but don’t put that in the notes …

(Once new developments in Jane’s psychic abilities begin to show themselves, one can start backtracking to find possible origins. [...]

He should remind himself to look for new signs, however small, of a new ease, for those signs will indeed now be making themselves known.

(One of the new nurses had her 20th birthday today. [...]

[...] She came up with a number of memories new to me — like going to the youth center on Saratoga Springs’ lower Broadway on weekend evenings to dance and socialize, and so forth. [...]

Once again, your help has been invaluable, rising also from a new sense of peace and power that is emerging in your psyche.

[...] He was reacting to new stimuli, as is natural for the body. He stretched just about every muscle in a new way, and made new demands upon the body, that the body quite agreeably tried to meet.

He tried out new motions, getting up and down from the stool, for example, without his table, and Saturday he reaped certain benefits, getting up surprisingly easy often, and gaining some new confidence.

[...] He was unhappy with some attempts he had made in the kitchen, and after some due consideration decided in this new mood of openness to discuss his feelings. [...]

The pendulum should be used to uncover feelings, to allow feedback between portions of the self, but mostly as a way of implanting new knowledge and constructive suggestions and feelings of safety to the “subconscious.”

[...] Physically, rooms in the house have opened to him, as with the kitchen, and the table (just delivered by Leonard) in the new room. Those represent the opening of inner rooms, of course, and will further trigger the opening of still new intuitive areas.

(Our exploration of “flamboyance” came about through Seth’s use of “extravagant” in this session, as I scanned the original notes this morning while coming up with some new questions. [...] But she reported “new things” releasing in her head area, and the back of the neck, that had been “tight as a fist.” [...]

[...] New intuitional insights grow while he is not thinking in those terms, and if he trusted his nature more fully he could enjoy the painting more while also realizing that other levels of the self had their own reasons. [...]

[...] Her new release began this morning as we worked with the pendulum, and she can attach her report to this session if she wants to. [...]

[...] Looking back, I’m sure that I sniffed danger as surely as any animal who senses something strange and new in his environment — or as any adult when threatened by a change in the status quo. [...]

[...] Exultation and comprehension, new ideas, sensations, novel groupings of images and words rushed through me so quickly there was no time to call out. [...]

[...] They seemed charged with a fierce vitality that leads me to consider the ambiguous nature of creativity, for if those ideas and the experience itself initiated a new kind of consciousness in me, they also possessed an explosive force powerful enough to considerably dismantle the previous frameworks of my thoughts and ideas. [...]

[...] I discovered later that many of them have appeared in “esoteric” manuscripts throughout the centuries, though to me they were not only completely new but also were accompanied by such intense certainty that I would never be able to doubt their validity.

[...] Its action, its attempts at outward materialization, however, must result in the creation of new inner vitality, for this is the stuff of which it is composed. And this new inner vitality will then seek materialization, and so the cycle is never completed.

[...] And each inward action forms a new dimension that must, again, be thrust outward toward utilization.

Yet each outward thrust turns again inward; and of itself, because of the nature of action, is the creation of new action.

[...] Therefore each action would create a new reality. [...]

[...] The funny thing is, I told her, with all of this I think I’m just beginning to glimpse the possibilities in this new way of thinking about life. It’s at once absurdly simple and hidden—until you acquire certain new habits. [...] “That’s the key to our new method of living,” I said, quite enthusiastically. [...]

[...] The latest talk now is that new patients will be coming in later this week, to bring the census back up. [...]

Now because of these feelings he was afraid of setting himself up as a new authority for people to follow blindly. [...]

[...] It might come up with something new. [...]

[...] He feels free to move, and that symbolically and literally means a new “place.” [...]

[...] Ruburt can make no new bargain that says “Now I change my mind. [...]
