“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Any normal home life is denied him; and along with the overall concentration upon the problem at hand, all other stimuli is purposely held to a minimum. [...]

[...] As long as power is equated with violence, then you will feel it necessary to regulate normal aggression in your behavior; and considering power as violent, you will be afraid to act to some extent. [...]

[...] The male in your society is taught to personify aggressiveness with all of those antisocial attitudes that he cannot normally demonstrate. [...]

[...] The enforced incarceration of violent men often leads to a riot, and the private closeting of normal aggression often brings psychological rioting and outbursts of physical symptoms.

Ruburt has been feeling new, strong surges of desire — desire for normal health, normal motion, energy, and strength. [...]

Again, have him almost as nonchalantly as possible imagine himself behaving as normally as possible in the future. [...]

[...] You were correct, therefore: he must believe that he can indeed be normally flexible. [...]

[...] While the main challenge is his, you can help by reviving your own beliefs that he can indeed return to normal physical behavior.

Now separately: I want each of you to imagine operating normally in a light manner, to look again for improvements—not setbacks, and to structure your days in that manner. [...]

[...] It is not time for them to appear as yet in the book proper, but any material not handled in normal conscious life, not grappled with, if it becomes overcharged or lasts over a period of time, will be unconsciously expressed. [...] It is when you give up facing them on a normal daily level that you abdicate your responsibility, so to speak.

[...] I told her both her hands looked better than they had yesterday, even, with the skin coloring more normal instead of being so taut and tight. [...]

(After everybody had made their rounds concerning her vitals, which were all normal, Jane said she might try for a short session. [...]

You are correct: the body itself wants to move normally, and becomes more and more able to do so. [...]

[...] But the skin of her elbow looked much improved, much more normal. [...]

[...] She also raised her arms above her head in a perfectly normal way as she wet her hair while standing up, she said. [...]

[...] The small but vivid “dream” is an example of a mental spontaneous exercise that in its fashion is every bit as effective as a physical exercise—and such spontaneous normal motion points the way toward the body’s further physical activity. [...]

Ruburt is beginning from his own position, and he is seeking the normal, free motion of his body. [...] The body has not been used, however, in a normal manner. [...]

[...] Its most important benefit, however, was that it freed Ruburt from mentally seeing himself in only one corner of one room, and immediately aroused his normal leanings toward love of whatever home you share.

Moving the chair backward some is also excellent, for it moves different ligaments than he normally uses. [...]

In normal terms in life, while the conditions for life are given, the nature of physical time means that practically speaking life will be full of surprises, for in usual terms you do not know what will happen tomorrow. [...]

[...] This was her best effort yet: she marched right along in a perfectly normal way. [...]

[...] Performance may be uneven in the meantime, however—until finally the most auspicious improvements do indeed become the normal, natural state of affairs. [...]

[...] I thought the dream meant that she was just investigating past events when she had normal freedom of movement, with the idea of bringing them into the future. [...]

[...] Everything seemed perfectly normal. [...] Yet I’d gone to bed to experiment, I knew, and to make sure I decided to take it for granted that I really was dreaming, despite the semblance of normality.

But often, after doing all this, I would simply fall back to sleep again, dream normally until morning, and lose the clear memory of my experiences. [...]

At physical death, after the last reincarnation, then the normal form is the dream body, and excursions are made from this point. [...]

[...] This was not their normal house in daily life, though, and I was aware of this. [...]

On your part also then there was a reluctance to react to annoyance in a normal natural manner, and this is why the situation built up. [...] By reacting normally you would indeed teach her respect for the regards of others, and she would have felt your reaction quite justified.

[...] Soon automatically the system becomes adjusted to normal action, and the process becomes automatic again. [...]

Any one of these various layers of consciousness can be used as the normal acting consciousness, reality being viewed from that specific standpoint.

[...] Since many of them are unaware of your idea of time, they would find it difficult to understand that you perceive events with intervals between, and would not perceive the inner organization that you thrust upon your normal environment. [...]

Quite frankly, I believe that normal dreams are the outside shell of deeper inside experience. [...]

[...] Clues as to our creativity and the nature of our existence can be found there and from it emerges the organizational qualities of normal consciousness as we know it.

[...] The conscious withdrawal of mental life during life makes normally conscious experience possible. In the same way there must, of course, be a rhythm of physical death, so that the experience of normal physical life is possible. It goes without saying that without death and disease — for the two go hand in hand — then normal corporeal existence would be impossible.

[...] The experience was quite vivid, obviously not a dream, yet not a normal waking event. [...]

[...] He was that portion as the normal waking self, the focus personality.

[...] His main consciousness was merged with mine in the session format; while in the waking experience his consciousness was in the normal image, which sensed the projected one. [...]

Ruburt can regain normal flexibility, normal responsiveness; I wish that I could automatically impart to you the quite simple knowledge that lies behind those sentences, so that you could accept them without quibble. [...]

[...] His reading is coming back to normal, though there are still some momentary lapses. [...]

[...] His brother did not know that the urban renewal gentleman was in that particular restaurant where the two might meet, and until the meeting did occur nothing showed in Framework 1, though much was occurring in Framework 2. The creative potential knows exactly what changes must occur in Ruburt’s body so that he can walk normally. [...]

[...] The intent is to walk normally—not just to improve. [...]

[...] The constant activity however prepares the body for normal walking, and exercises necessary portions, then stretches them further, so that while Ruburt is not walking more noticeably upright, he is indeed taller, particularly when standing; different portions are exercised when he is sitting or standing, so that each change can be counted upon for the next alteration in posture.

Ruburt’s desire to walk normally for that matter comes from Framework 2, for it is a natural desire, in harmony with his basic being, that would flow into actuality on its own—had he not put impeding beliefs and contradictions in the way, so that the desire itself was buried beneath, say, debris.

[...] Jane’s fingers, normally long and graceful, had shrunken to stubby appendages, or so it appeared. The glow suffused the palm, eliminating the shadows normally to be seen there, so that it did not seem that the fingers were merely folded over.

“Slowly the hand regained normal shape. [...]

[...] Gradually the hand returned to normal, and Seth instructed us to take a rest period.

[...] After all, that’s a normal enough reaction—usually when you look into a mirror, it gives a faithful reproduction, and no woman is going to be pleased to see a weird-looking apparition staring back.

[...] Jane’s hands felt normal to her when she began dictating again, in a normal voice. [...]

(Jane dictated in a voice just a bit stronger than normal; she paced at an average rate, her eyes darkened as usual. [...]

[...] Her voice was normal, her delivery slow. [...]

[...] Both came off easily, normally. [...]

Those dreams reactivate Ruburt’s conscious memory of walking normally, and also serve to reawaken nerves and muscles that are connected with normal walking. [...]

(Jane had also described some excellent, very positive dreams she’d had last night, containing clear instances in which she’d been walking normally. [...]

What Seth is alluding to is that the practice of Psy-Time does stretch normal consciousness. [...]

[...] This state can occur whether you are normally awake, “awake” in the sleep condition, or in a trance. [...]
