“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, what would that extreme behavior consist of “at its worst?” He felt that if he were a person given to extremes, then to use his abilities he must apply due discipline so that his head was not turned, so that he did not become a victim of fame, as many other writers and artists did—or so it seemed. It certainly should be obvious to Ruburt now that his personality contains some quite conservative aspects—a marriage going into two decades and more does not exactly make one worry about promiscuity. [...]

(9:15.) Now. [...] Your own attitude has been excellent—I congratulate you on it, and I congratulate Ruburt on the mental changes of attitude that he is now in the process of setting up.

Now: I would like to clear up a few misconceptions. [...]

Now your closest environment, physically speaking, is your body. [...]

[...] Now, because this is known to us, we can change our environments and our own physical forms as we wish, and without confusion, for we perceive the reality that lies beneath.

[...] Now whenever you think emotionally of another person, you send out a counterpart of yourself, beneath the intensity of matter, but a definite form. [...]

Now. [...]

Now. [...]

You, as teacher in this love relationship now, can count oddly enough on the passivity of his nature, and play on this, for then assured, reassured, the super-conscientious self can allow the spontaneous self to emerge in the sex relationship.

Now (to me): You are creative, but you are a male — and one part of you considered creativity a feminine-like characteristic. [...] You would not take your art to the marketplace after you left commercial work, because then, in a manner of speaking, now, understand, you considered that the act of a prostitute — for your “feminine feelings” that you felt produced the paintings would then be sold for the sake of “the male’s role as provider and bringer of power.”

[...] “But right now I’m just waiting,” she said impatiently at 9:40, after we’d been ready for Seth to come through since 9:25. [...]

Your scientists are, generally now, intellectually oriented, believing in reason above the intuitions, taking it for granted that those qualities are opposites. [...]

(10:41 to 10:47.) Now: I will begin the next chapter, or you can have an early session if you prefer.

[...] As much as possible, for now, forget the normal familiar light in which you see yourself, and consider your identity.

[...] Out of these attributes, therefore, you chose what you now consider to be your hard-bed reality.

[...] The body now sees to it that it moves. [...]

[...] Ruburt would want to walk correctly now, of course, and then to have his arms straightened, or his posture gradually improved. [...]

Those vital but minute areas are now being taken care of. [...]

Now within certain boundaries, and taking certain circumstances for granted, Ruburt is more flexible than you may think he is. [...]

[...] Now he reacts you see by bothering you all the more, peeking in on you, to discover whether or not you are really upset, or rather, if his own imagination runs away with him.

[...] Now these changes affect the ways in which you perceive sense data. [...]

You have, even now, a greater financial mobility therefore. As far as beliefs are concerned, Ruburt is working directly now with the proper ones, in the correct area.

(11:41.) Now—In answer to your question: of course you are both involved. [...]

Financially, even now in embryo, your ideas are far different than they were. [...]

(Now Jane leaned over my desk to emphasize the following paragraph.)

[...] These two are those concerned with what we may call for now transportation. [...]

I have also slowed down now and then to enable you to write more comfortably. [...]

(That topic ties in with my idea that I mentioned to her this afternoon, about it hardly being a coincidence that many events in our lives are coming to a head at the same time: Our deep upset about Jane’s condition; the trouble with the disclaimer idea for Mass Events; Prentice-Hall’s reorganization into the General Publishing Division, in which all of their narrative books will be phased out, thus eliminating any real need for Tam and his job; indeed, Tam is looking at other job offers even now. [It’s been my position for some time now that Tam will end up leaving Prentice-Hall, or will be let go.] If and when he does go, we will be without our friend there, and will have to make decisions based on that departure. But we may be in the process of making such decisions even now, I suspect. [...]

(Putting off Dreams, it seemed to me, was a necessity at the moment because I now believed that the long interlude in her dictation was, again, a clear sign of resistance to the project on Jane’s part. [...] It seemed to me now that a clear course of hanging back had been displayed by Jane all though our psychic endeavors, and that it could be easily charted if we took the time to do so. [...]

[...] At least Jane now has some breathing space, and the cycle of resistance may be interrupted, say, if not reversed yet. We now have time for Framework 2 to operate. [...]

[...] Earlier today—as she reaffirmed now—she’d said more than once that she wanted to “get back to the sessions, no matter what,” or how she felt. [...] Her arms were longer, as they had been for some time now. [...]

[...] She hasn’t “walked” for weeks now—since last year—and the hip problems especially have persisted now for a number of months. [...]

[...] “We’ve got one half done now.” [...] After all, it was waiting now for us to get back to it.

Now. [...] The most important one is that Ruburt must make a conscious effort not only to alter his habits but to handle what he thinks of now as distractions by conscious effort, the changing of a pattern, rather than by unconscious limitations on the body. [...]

Now, good evening.

Now any other physical arena of that kind, opened, is highly beneficial because of that literal-mindedness, and each time this happens the predominating beliefs are to that extent weakened. [...]

[...] Then a bit later: “What I’m getting now are just disconnected things.” [...] Now I’m getting something over there [to her left] that’s entirely disconnected from what I was getting two minutes ago over here. [...]

(“But now where’s all that stuff I was picking up from Seth today?” she demanded. [...]

Now—

Now, good evening.

Now: While Ruburt is not a child he operates emotionally with a child’s simplicity, and is at his best in direct personal encounter with you or with his friends, for example. [...]

[...] Because you are only now learning to verbalize your feelings, this means that he felt, particularly in the past, that you dealt with him opaquely in an area in which he did not know how to cope.

In the early days when I first spoke to you, you would not have understood things that I tell you now. [...]

Now I regret that you must be so involved with note-taking that I cannot speak to you in a more conversational tone. [...]

Now. [...]

Now: Good evening.

Now: Give us a moment. [...]

(Long pause at 9:27.) Now: Give us a moment and we will resume dictation. [...]

[...] Now with the New Year we want to start up a schedule for the sessions, and stick to it for the most part. [...] Jane and I spent two hard weeks erasing most of the suggested changes in the manuscript, and it is now headed for the printer for page proofs. [...]

Now: I wish you a merry new year into which I hope you manage to insert a touch of lightheartedness now and then. [...]

(For the record: “Uknown,” it seems, appears to be one of those jobs that won’t go too smoothly, even though now we’re reaching the end of its cycle. [...]

(It was now 9:09. [...] The flame had now increased perhaps a quarter of an inch in height, and burned steadily at that level; this meant an increase from 3/4 of an inch to one inch.

(We were not sure that Seth would have any data on Peggy Gallagher during the session, since we thought it possible she had left Washington, DC by now.

Now. [...]

(Now Jane smiled broadly as she paced about.)

[...] Ruburt now can allow himself some additional freedom. [...]

This is one of the main reasons why I advised Ruburt at one time to discontinue certain particular experiments, which I believe he can now handle.

Now at various times you made those conscious choices. [...] Now do you have any questions?

[...] Later I will discuss greater aspects of the origin of ideas, but for now we will simply speak in terms of this life, the one you know.

[...] It is running quite wild now — not despite your ideas of guilt and punishment, but largely because of them. [...]
