“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(9:35.) However, there is no great reason for the vast separation that now exists between your waking and sleeping lives. [...]

Now, in physical terms it may take some time before your conscious mind accepts or recognizes a diagnosis given in a dream. [...]

Now — I bid you another most fond good afternoon.

[...] Now I may or may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I speak, but know that I am present and approachable.

Now: Good evening. [...]

End of dictation for now. [...]

[...] But now I felt that I really had to have a session each Monday and Wednesday evening, come hell or high water. [...] But now my idea of great defiance was to miss a session, to go out and get a beer and let the psychologist go stare at his old vase or ink spot or whatever he’d chosen for that night’s test.

[...] Now I wonder that Seth was able to do anything with me at all in those days, but most of the time he managed to do very well indeed.

[...] Now here are some about the page from which the object was taken. [...]

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

[...] I told her its obvious now that her body is filling itself in gradually, for it has a softer look. [...]

(I should note that when I say “I read her the prayer,” what I actually mean is that we read it aloud together—and have been doing so for some little time now. [...]

Now: Dictation.

Later we will discuss what this means to you, the individual person, but for now I want to stress the fact that while it may seem natural enough to consider disease as a threat, an adversary or an enemy, this is not the case.

We want to discuss “disease” as it exists apart from suffering for now, then. [...]

(10:44.) Now: in certain terms, past, present, and future are all compressed in any given moment of your experience.

[...] The events that you recognize as happening now are simply specific and objective, but the most minute element in any given moment’s experience is also symbolic of other events and other times.

Using emotion from the present, let him now imagine the event only defiantly, saying to hell with the feelings he had at that time about the dumb psychologist. [...]

(As of now, however, I’d say that she doesn’t have much inclination to do so. [...] Right now she’s working on the final draft of Chapter 5 of her own theoretical work on psychic matters, Adventures in Consciousness.

(Now, after just a little organizing on my part, here are a few samples from the 35 chapter headings in Jane’s outline for The Way Toward Health. [...]

Now: I bid you another fond good —

The ideas I have just mentioned are all prominent in your society, and now and then they return to darken your senses of joy and expectation.

[...] For now, often that recognition alone can clear your thoughts and mind.

[...] For now Jane wants the volume to contain some of the poetry she’s dedicated to me over the years since we met in February 1954. [...]

[...] Now, our country’s initial concern over the accident at TMI has grown to include deep questions about why we’ve built so many nuclear energy generating plants near large population centers; carrying out a mass evacuation in case of a serious accident at any of those sites seems to present a series of insurmountable challenges.

Now: In the beginning, there was not God the Father, Allah, Zoroaster, Zeus, or Buddha.¹

[...] (Pause.) The body consciousness is not “unconscious,” but for working purposes in your terms, [the body] possesses its own system of consciousness that to some extent, now (underlined), is separated from what you think of as your own normal consciousness. [...]

[...] As once it had formed the body consciousness, now it formed a physically attuned consciousness, a self whose desires and intents would be oriented in a way that, alone, the inner self could not be.

Now as you will see, all creatures, regardless of their degree, can and do choose, within their spheres of reality, those sensations that they will experience—but to one extent or another (underlined) all sensations are felt. [...]

Now: Dictation.

[...] I am speaking now of more or less normal experience. [...]

Now: Resume dictation.

[...] So though he hasn’t begun it as of this writing, two days later, surely he will start dictating Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment any day now. [...] Seth will say again, “Now: Dictation,” and Rob will make up a new title page for his notebook.

[...] The glass of wine on the coffee table before me, the cigarettes, and the mass-produced table itself, are all reminders that my most adventuresome journeys into other realities are rooted, for now at least, in the physical world of events that we all share together.

[...] My daily life is lived with the knowledge of that association, of course, and my normal routine now includes “turning into Seth” twice weekly, and has for years.

Now: Had you been following your natural impulses, your body cells would have picked up that message easily. [...]

[...] Now that chest discomfort immediately reminded you of your friend, and was meant, again, to tell you that he was in some difficulty. [...]

Now to a lesser degree, and in a different fashion, your cat (Billy) also reacted. [...]

[...] Now, I refused to go back out the window and down the wall, like a fly or an animal might. [...]

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

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

[...] To a large measure, the sensations of pain are also the results of your beliefs, so that even diseases that are indeed accompanied, now, by great pain, need not be. [...]

[...] Seth has also used the phrase in connection with a next work.⁴ Now it appears that he’s settled upon a formal title for his book — one that Jane has received from him several times lately: Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment.)

[...] Four centuries ago, it was carried to the Western Hemisphere by slaves, and is now found in certain areas of Mexico, south to Brazil.

[...] Yet he still expressed sorrow, and asked: “Why?” He’s troubled by the challenges of one who has to live with a so-called deformed wife—and now a child—each day. [...]

[...] Now: Man’s first encounter with physical reality in life is his experience with the state of his own consciousness.

[...] This means that now the session also serves as a connective—a very effective lure, say—between volumes 1 and 2. Indeed, in retrospect it also seems as though Seth, that “energy personality essence,” planned it that way! [...]

Now: the message is clear: fanaticism can lead to mass suicide and murder.

[...] They could not free their native abilities—many, now. [...]

[...] They are now coming into better motion. [...]

[...] Jane began speaking now while leaning back in her rocker, eyes closed, her voice again high, very clear but distant, very distinct but rather emotionless, ending sentences often again on the upbeat. [...]

[...] Now this is rather important. [...]

Now, the strong ego structure has been adopted as a necessary guard and protection to hold the abilities in check until the present personality learned to develop its abilities to a sufficient level. [...]

[...] I for one have long reached the point where I expect little else from Prentice-Hall except shoddy work, and I think that by now Jane more or less agrees. [...]

Now: by the standards your brother Richard once believed in, and by the standards that your sister-in-law once believed in, they are both relatively successful.

He is in a period where he is trying to release impulses, but one look at that situation—momentarily, now—panicked him, so that he began to wonder if any discipline was not worthwhile to prevent what he considered that kind of intuitional and intellectual sloth.
