“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: I want to begin by mentioning one of the most important and vital messages in your glass-door dream (of two days ago),¹for its truth applies to the magical approach as well.

[...] To some degree historically speaking, that sort of situation operated in the past when — comparatively speaking, now — people realized that there was indeed an inner world of complexity and richness that could be approached in certain fashions, one that existed alongside with the physical world, so that the two intersected. [...]

Now in your dream, you were quite clearly seeing the threshold between physical reality and the magical dimension in which that physical reality has its source. [...]

[...] Before our experiments began, I used to think that dreams were relatively chaotic productions, with a few subconscious insights thrown in for good measure, now and then — a nightly retreat into idiocy for the tired brain. [...]

[...] It goes without saying now that all dream events should be checked against physical reality so that any clairvoyant elements are clearly checked and recorded. [...]

Now, there is something else to be considered. [...]

[...] She had an excellent reputation as a teacher, and now and then she was visited by former students to whom she served tea. [...]

[...] Only now and then did it nag at me with its disquieting connotations. [...]

[...] That night I sat down to write poetry for an hour as usual, and, suddenly, the small rift that had opened so slightly with the first dream now yawned wide open.

Now: Good evening —

Now when you leave your home station and alter your consciousness, you are always a tourist if you take your own baggage of ideas along with you, and interpret your experiences through your own personal, cultural beliefs. [...]

[...] Now in your mind see that image walking out of the snapshot, onto the desk or table. [...]

(Seth told us the Seth book which is now at Jane’s publisher would be published, and that her dream book would also. [...]

[...] Now, and S and a G, and there will be physical signs for dear Ruburt, when the time comes for physical signs.

[...] Again you made many mistakes, and forgot them as with delight you now wrote separate words. [...]

It is self-defeating, therefore, to blame yourself for mistakes, so-called, simply because in the light of your present development they are seen as less-developed acts than those to which you now aspire. [...]

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

[...] I bid you now a fond good evening; again, I may or may not return, according to those rhythms of which I speak, but I am present and available. [...]

[...] I opened the curtains—it was now approaching dusk—and turned on the blower. [...]

(The strange thing is, I’d had very similar thoughts this morning when typing Session 890 for Dreams, I told Jane now. [...]

Now: another fond good afternoon. [...]

Now, I may or may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I speak—but I am in any case, once again, present and approachable. [...]

These particular events began Friday though now Monday afternoon I’ve nearly forgotten what Friday was really like. [...] I didn’t want to be bothered; now that I’d recently agreed to do some such shows, everyone it seemed would start calling. [...]

[...] and now even that sensation felt like an exaggerated or aggravated.... [...]

[...] “I suppose he’ll write to Camper now,” Jane said. [...]

Quite apart from that, however, there is what we will call for now the collective unconscious of all of the electrons that compose the entire seemingly separate event of the scientists observing the electron. [...]

In the beginning, physical space had the qualities that dream space has to you now. [...]

Now: Dictation (on The Nature of the Psyche: Its Human Expression): As the earth is composed of many environments, so is the psyche. [...]

[...] Now, if time suddenly ran backward you would notice it. [...]

Now (elaborately and quietly): Obviously your physical body has capacities that few of you use to full advantage. [...]

[...] She’s written the first drafts for many of the chapters of the book by now, and has planned most of the rest of them — although she may change any of her work at any time. Now she reminded me that “a lot of God of Jane is written as my own response to stuff Seth gives in Mass Events.” [...]

[...] That is, the living room in the hill house is now her writing room, and her one-time writing room at the back, north side of the house has become the living room — or call it the den-and-television room. [...]

(Long pause at 10:13.) Give us a moment… You must encounter the selves that you are now. [...]

Such thoughts are like, now (underline “like, now”), electrical patterns that form their own magnets. [...]

(With an elaborate smile:) Now, good evening.

You have genetic systems, then, carrying (long pause) information that is literally incalculatable.¹ Now: Through your technologies, through your physical experience, you are also surrounded by an immense array of communication and information of an exterior nature. [...]

[...] You are in the spacious present now. [...]

[...] Willy lay sleeping now on the divan. [...]

These idea camouflage patterns represent important if nonmaterial structures, and we will refer to them as idea camouflage structures from now on, since they are basic frameworks that control the actual physical camouflage patterns, and even supervise for you the extent to which such physical patterns can be constructed.

[...] I’m in enough adversarial positions now, what with insurance companies, doctors, infirmaries, and so forth. [...]

[...] “I don’t see how you do what you’re doing now,” he said. [...]

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

[...] (We didn’t have nearly enough money, but could qualify for adequate insurance by fulfilling the terms of an 11-month waiting period.) But regardless of cost, one orthopedist saw me staying right in the hospital—now that I was there—until the entire procedure was finished. [...]

[...] Her body began to slowly lean against the right arm of her chair in what has become a characteristic pose, for both her thyroid activity, and therefore her energy, are still below par even though she’s been out of the hospital for 24 days now. [...]

[...] “Now that was just on the operation thing—”

[...] The difficulty with walking, physically now, is caused by the head and neck areas, which are being released. Physically now, tension causes the head and neck difficulty. [...]

Now: you know generally how associations work in your own mind, seemingly bringing memories or images to you out of context—that is, not following the usual patterns of time or cause and effect.

[...] Events that before seemed impossible first of all seem perhaps possible, or you can see that they can indeed be carried out right now to some extent, in perhaps a limited fashion. [...]

Dictation (whispering). Now, if you take a physical camera with you today and snap pictures as you go about your chores, walk, or talk with friends, then you will have preserved scenes from the day’s activities.

Now, using an analogy only, let me explain that your thoughts and feelings also give off shadows (intently) that we will here call hallucinations.² They are quite valid. [...]

Now: If you are honest with your thoughts and feelings, then you will express them in your waking life, and they will not cast disturbing shadows in your dreams.

[...] “I’ve got the nostalgic, uneasy feeling that he’s going to wind up the book soon,” she said, “especially after listening to that material just before the Atlantis stuff: I didn’t feel that way when I had the session, but I do now. 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.”

(“Well, I’m just waiting now,” she said finally. [...]

Now: I will answer your questions on Wednesday. [...]

Now: In direct opposition to current theories about the past, there was far less sexual specialization, say, in the time of the caveman than now.

Now: Distorted ideas about sexuality prevent many people from attaining any close connection with the inner experience that continually stirs beneath ordinary consciousness. [...]

Now: Historically speaking, early man in his way understood those connections far better than you do, and used language as he developed it to express first of all this miracle of birth. [...]
