“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: when you write a book, you see it through to completion. [...]

[...] The Sinful Self, so-called, now, is only too willing to accept such responsibility, for it believes to some extent that such responsibility is a kind of penance for its own shortcomings. [...]

(Long pause at 9:22.) Now nothing is all that simple, so there would be changes in his attitudes: He would tell himself, for example, that television or whatever would fritter away his time, or at other occasions other fears would rise so that the Sinful Self would think “Suppose such activity succeeded only too well, leading whole groups of people away from established systems of belief?” (Long pause.) There seemed to be little resolution. [...]

I will now wish you a fond good evening. [...] And now, good evening.

[...] Nevertheless the more modern look it now had did not appeal to us as much, and the first night we were there Jane remarked that she didn’t like it as well. [...]

(I like the part-time arrangement I now have at Artistic very much. [...]

(Jane now took a long pause. [...]

Now. [...]

(Jane’s pace was now very slow, as slow as it has ever been, I believe. [...]

(“I don’t know if it’s done or not,” Jane said now. “Right now it’s quiet.” [...]

[...] What followed was surprising to us in several ways, and raised many questions that we will now search out answers for.

[...] Now I seem to be getting:

[...] Each physical body — in its own way, now, following its own individual peculiarities — would develop whatever skills it chose and found comfortable. [...] Physical endurance of the kind now considered extraordinary would be the norm. [...]

[...] Now: In other terms, your own greater personhood exists before you do in the same way. [...]

Now: I am not saying that the human personality is “as significant as a cell — no more and no less.”

[...] Although now I’m not so sure I do....)

[...] Now. [...]

(Since my hand phenomena had disappeared by now, I was curious to check the measurements of my fingers now against those Bill had made earlier. [...] My second finger, wherein I had been most strongly aware of the feeling of enlargement, had measured 2 ” at the time; its circumference now checked out at 2 ”, for a shrinkage of th of an inch.

[...] At the same time, Jane said that she thought she felt Seth stirring about, since all of us had talked about him constantly for some time now. [...]

[...] However the society with which he was involved was of course seeped in its own ignorance, as your society is seeped in its now.

[...] Jane was now a little concerned at having a session away from home and in daylight. [...]

I will indeed see what experiments can be made, working within the limitations that are, unfortunately, what we now have to deal with. [...]

[...] We need have no worries concerning the personality with whom I work, since there is by now some sort of a rapport that will work for us. [...]

Now. [...]

Now to some extant Ruburt’s ego wanted to stay where it was also: hence, comparatively speaking, the frozen motion.

[...] Now there is always an imprinting process within the personality, belonging to past experience. [...]

Now: Dictation. [...]

(Pause at 10:11.) I am speaking generally now about the war under discussion, for there were certainly exceptions, yet most of the men involved in it learned something from their experiences. [...]

Now: Love is also a great inciter to action, and utilizes dynamos of energy.

(Jane now told me she thought the “two people” referred to by Seth in the 2nd envelope test in the 180th session, were Dr. Instream and his wife Judy. [...] We now know, of course, that Dr. Instream and his wife were in York Beach on the night of the 180th session.

(Jane’s eyes now opened. [...]

I will now suggest your break.

[...] I had the question partly because of something she’d said herself before the last session—and which I’ve now forgotten—and partly because I didn’t believe that most people were able to deal with such procedures in their daily lives. [...]

[...] The back porch door was wide open in the gathering dusk; even though we’ve passed the longest day of the year now, it was still not dark.)

Now—good evening. [...]

Now, good evening.

Now your own physical image is the materialization of your idea of yourself within the properties of matter. [...]

[...] There were others that were perceived, but not by you, and there are other such dramas existing now.

[...] “It’s sure funny: I can feel a whole lot more right there now, waiting to be given — but before the session, nothing. [...]

Now: You manufacture articles. [...]

Now: That is the end of dictation. [...]

(Jane has just finished the final typing of her own The World View of Paul Cézanne, and now I’m ready to type the finished version of Volume I of Seth’s “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] Touching the vase, your Aunt Sarah might think of the person who gave it to her, now on the other side of the continent. [...]

Now: There is no such thing, basically, as random motion. [...]

[...] The self that you are, in a basic sense, is the self that you were in past instances within this existence, the self or series of selves that you were in previous existences within the physical field, and also the myriad selves that you are now, in various perception experiences unknown to the ego.

[...] We come now close to a definition finally for the entity, which cannot really be defined, because in your terms it escapes definition. [...]

[...] Now. [...]

[...] We will have some long sessions dealing with this matter, but I tell you all now—no good will come of violence. [...]

[...] It is up to you now (Sue and Ned) whether or not you listen. [...]

Defend any psychic energy that you have now. [...]

[...] You have taught yourselves to respond to certain neural patterns, and to ignore alternate ones that now simply operate as background activity. [...] Those other background stimuli are now quite difficult for you to identify, but they are always there in the [hinterland] of your waking consciousness, like dream chatter way beneath your usual associations.

[...] Now Seth gave a few paragraphs for Jane, then said good night at 10:10 P.M. Even with the many pauses she’d used this evening—most of which I didn’t indicate—Jane’s delivery had often been quite intent and meaningful. [...]

Framework 2 begins to open doors in all areas, and only you and Ruburt can possibly stand in the way of excellent developments that have begun now in all avenues, including Ruburt’s condition. [...] A little extra effort on both of your parts can help you not only to recognize the feelings, which you do, but to decide to suspend them for now. [...]

Now: I have a little to say, for that notebook contains important insights.

Now, good evening.

And now I have an assignment for you, and the opportunity to participate in my book. [...]

[...] For some reason I felt uneasy now; perhaps I thought it might not be a good idea to interrupt the flow of the book in such a manner.
