“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(By now Jane and I were very curious, since this was the first time we had ever had the chance to resume with a contact made previously on the board. [...]

(“Frank Watts, do you recall all of your previous lives, where you are now?”)

(Goe No) Gone now.

[...] He explained that in a given period of say, thirty days, the suggestions on perhaps but three or four days within that period would be really effective, and that as of now we have no way of knowing the best days. [...]

Now, we shall say what we shall say in our own good time. [...]

(Jane now took a pause that lasted a full minute, sitting quietly with her eyes closed.)

(Saturday, also, the nurses told us that it’s now been decided by administration that all the people who were moved out of Surgical 3 are now to be moved back first of the week. [...]

Now: I bid you another fond good afternoon. [...]

[...] “The body doesn’t want to do that right now....” [...]

Now you see, we must turn this energy outward in constructive ways, and in an exuberant fashion.

[...] There is a need in him for excitement, but because of the maturity of the personality, the excitement now must in some manner be purposeful.

The intuitive self is now freed enough to make this possible, and provide the way, you see. [...]

Now: another fond good evening.

That is simply because everything is now scheduled in a fashion, with the time available. [...]

[...] The official line of consciousness is really the “worrier,” because it recognizes that it can only go so far, and usually it is not educated enough to realize it is itself sustained and supported — and now I bid you a fond good afternoon, and I do indeed adjust those coordinates that do quicken Ruburt’s healing processes.

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

Now. [...]

Now. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Now. [...]

[...] Now a whole new uniting principle has been realized by the spontaneous self, but little attempt was made to enlarge the definitions of good on the part of the overly conscientious self.

Now. [...]

Now: We will resume dictation, and later I will have a few words for you.

[...] Now with reflection you could connect these with their origin, but usually they would pass you by.

Now even as you go about your day, your consciousness fluctuates, and you can catch yourself “symbolizing” in these different ways if you get in the habit of observing but not interpreting the state of your mind. [...]

[...] I put the word “good” in quotes for now because of your misconceptions about the nature of good and evil, which we will discuss somewhat later.²

[...] And I’ve got that feeling again, that more time should have passed while I was under: I think it should be a lot later now than it is. [...]

[...] Your reasoning as you now use it, however, deals primarily with reality by dividing it into categories, forming distinctions, following the “laws” of cause and effect — and largely its realm is the examination of events already perceived. [...]

[...] In the waking state he is able, now, to alter the direction of his focus precisely enough to bring about a condition in which he perceives both realities simultaneously. [...] He is, however, aware of it now in the back of his mind more or less constantly. [...]

(Now here are some excerpts from Jane’s notes, as I’ve put them together. [...]

[...] It’s like the old world but infinitely richer, more ‘now,’ built better, and with much greater depth.

[...] Now, however, it should be remembered that the muscles can easily accustom themselves to any new motions without anything but a minimum of discomfort.

[...] Now, however, the idea that motion can be easy should be implanted—that it can be easier to move. [...]

[...] “I’m getting two things: The session’s going to be book dictation, which surprises me, but it’s also going to be on what’s happening to me now…. [...]

[...] She fell quiet now after reassuring me that she was all right. [...]

Now in a sense the physical body does this always — that is, it sits astride realities, containing within itself dimensions of time and being that cannot be even verbally described. [...]

We will now end our session. [...] I would give it now, but I imagine that you are weary.

[...] Her pace however was now quite fast, her voice stronger, and she was quite restless. [...]

(We were now due for the material on the Gallaghers in Puerto Rico. [...]

Now, good evening.

Now I have been speaking about psychological structures that are far more complicated than those with which you are familiar. [...]

[...] In your system it is now fashionable to refer to this as the ego. [...]

(Now another event took place in October 1978 that is most important to Jane and me: Sue Watkins received the go-ahead from Tam Mossman to write a book on the ESP classes that Jane had conducted for some seven and a half years, from the fall of 1967 to February 1975. [...]

(“Looking over those nine-and-a-half months of sessions now, it’s fairly obvious what Seth was up to. [...]

[...] And then, on the very night when she told me that she thought Seth would resume book dictation, Sue Watkins called with news that it was all official now: Today she’d signed her contract with Prentice-Hall for the publication of Conversations With Seth.)

Now. [...]

[...] Now she kicked off her shoes. [...]

We shall leave this discussion for now, however, and return to a study of projections.

Now: I bid you another fond good afternoon —

[...] Do not bother now, but when you are momentarily “down,” it is then particularly important that Ruburt look in the mirror, apply the lipstick, and smile in whatever fashion. [...]

Now, I may nor may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I speak — but know that I am present and approachable.

[...] I told Jane now that I understood the course of action each of us had chosen to make physical, or “real” in our terms. [...] By now, did those photographs actually depict the immature images of us, the Jane and Rob we knew and had always been, or from our standpoint did they show a probable Jane, a probable Rob — two individuals who long ago had set out upon their own journeys through other realities? [...]

Now: Let us briefly, for now, attend to this.

[...] I might add that Mansfield is only 35 miles below Elmira, N.Y., where Jane and I live now.

[...] Now, I do not believe they will be necessary. [...] He is now ready to accept this rather than brood, and this will be of help, for the brooding drained his energy. [...] The creative energy, properly used, will drain away the energy that is now forming the symptoms.

[...] The outer ego is now familiar with the whole self, or the entire identity, and has available to it strength of which it was not previously aware. [...]

Now. [...]

Now: Drawing of that nature flourishes in your times in an entirely different fashion, divorced to some extent from its beginnings—in, for example, the highly complicated plans of engineers; the unity of, say, precise sketching and mathematics, necessary in certain sciences, [with] the sketching [being] required for all of the inventions that are now a part of your world. [...]

Now there are several “house connections” here, involving David, the Steffanses, and ourselves. [...]

Her relative, David told us now, had informed him that Mrs. Steffans had suffered bouts of deep depression while living in the hill house. [...]
