“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Dr. Instream being one, I believe. [...] One other man is along in years. One is much younger. [...]

[...] One man may be bald in the center of his head, and one may have a mustache, or if not he is not cleanly shaven.

[...] One of the main reasons why this is possible within the dream state, rather than in the waking state, is that survival necessities have usually been satisfied.

Such a change of focus demands a concentration in one area to the exclusion, as a rule, of other areas. [...]

[...] Each time we pushed the table down, it rose up again at one edge. The feeling given by this maverick or opposite pressure was quite similar to the feeling one gets from playing with magnets, when they are so aligned that one repels the other. [...]

[...] (Saturday, October 21, 1967, at a table-tipping session.) I told you that Ruburt’s abilities were developing along several new lines, and this is the beginning of one of them.

[...] (Jane pointed to the large heavy green table up by the living room windows.) He does not need my help with the small one, and the time and circumstances were not good on the other occasion when he requested my aid.

[...] However, stronger ones must be made. [...]

[...] A one-minute pause.) As you dwell in one particular city or town or village, you presently “live” in one small area of the psyche’s inner planet. [...]

(I told her that I didn’t care if the book was short, medium, or long — or whether it took six months to produce, or a year, or five years: If she held one or two sessions a week, or one a month, it would still give her a book in the works, and she would have that comforting knowledge. [...]

[...] And I’m not ready for either of the books Seth has mentioned doing — the Christ book, or the one he talked about last month, on cultural reality. So what could a new one possibly be about?”

[...] Emphatically.) I am not, on the one hand, an easy author to deal with, because I speak from a different level of consciousness than the one with which you are familiar. [...]

[...] Sexuality represents one aspect, and an important one. [...]

[...] You imagine that sexual expression is the only one natural to love. Love, in other words, must it seems express itself exclusively through the exploration (humorously and deeper), in one way or another, of the beloved’s sexual portions.

[...] There are innumerable books written with instructions, each proclaiming the said methods to be the proper ones. [...] There are other taboos, involving racial restrictions, or cultural, social, and economic ones. [...]

[...] Quite simply, you cannot have one or two or twenty officially-designated natural regions in which you observe animal activity, and expect to find anything more than the current adaptation of those creatures — an adaptation that is superimposed upon their “natural” reactions.

(9:14.) There are no magical methods, only natural ones that you use all of the time, although in some cases you use them for beliefs that you take for truths, when instead they are quite defective assumptions. A small example — one, incidentally, that Ruburt finally realized; but it is a beautiful instance of natural methods. [...]

[...] The session had been a relatively short one after all. [...] the one in which I’m kneeling at the kitchen storm door and thrusting my hand through the glass to touch Gus, the dog who belongs to our neighbors across the street. [...]

[...]

[...] He began the session very quietly, and took many pauses, including a number of long ones, as the session progressed.)

(February 7, Sunday, 10:45 PM approx.: While trying our seance with Lee and Judy Wright, I had a quick impression that a man stood to one side of me. [...] When I turned quickly to look there was no one there. No one else saw it, upon my questioning.

[...] Our idea was that our receptive state might make it possible for one of us to speak for another personality should one be present, or for another level of the self. [...]

There was difficulty with the left foot at one time. There was at one time difficulty with the forefinger of the left hand.

[...] Seth’s use of the phrase “at one time,” could refer, we suppose, to either a past life of Lee’s, or an earlier period in his present one.

[...] At one time John attempted to join various divergent groups together as one brotherhood, but he failed. [...]

Now, number one is an attempt to get at number two, which was simply a sign of a copy made, a distorted or doctored copy. The middle one, (three), was a mark made for a much less distorted copy, and the last mark, (five), was for an undoctored record.

[...] All of us expected an easygoing session — one that might touch upon current events involving the three of us, from a very ill feline, say, to our impromptu Friday evening “reincarnational dramas.” [...]

I should frighten you by saying, “Chapter One,” but I will not. [...]

[...] You form your corner of the universe, which is itself a part of another one. Within this the actions and beliefs of one affect all.

(Today Jane wrote two poems — one of them several pages long — that, she said, fit into the scheme of her potential book of poetry, Dialogues of the Speakers. [...]

(Long pause at 9:50.) A death is but one night to the soul. [...]

(A one-minute pause at 9:55.) Give us time….

The records would show one reign of one pope; but one, two, or even three different men may have filled the position. [...]

[...] Sometimes the name of one man would be given as a reign covering a span of years.

[...] Your “future” personalities are as real as your past ones. [...]

Since all lives are simultaneous, all happening at once, then any separation is a psychological one. [...]

(Very forcefully:) One sentence repeated is not the same sentence that it was before! One breath is not another! [...] Because you know it, and because you are the one who knows it, it is never what another one knows. [...]

3. The session given in last Tuesday’s class (for January 29, 1974) had indeed been one of Seth’s best. It was also a long one; the typewritten transcript ran to five and a half single-spaced pages. Seth discussed many of his basic concepts, the wedding of the intellect and the intuitions, his reality and our camouflage physical one, Seth Two, language, myth, and so forth. [...]

[...] Thirteen of us had gathered in our living room for one of the weekly get-togethers that Jane and I enjoy so much. Some of those present were members of Jane’s ESP class; all had heard Seth speak at one time or another.

(A group of us — Alex, Warren,² and others — had come over to Jane and Rob’s for a casual get-together, and also to talk about that week’s class, which seemed to be one of the “milestone” classes that happen occasionally.³ During the conversation, Alex said that the rise of literacy in the world would spread Seth’s ideas on a scale that had never previously been possible. [...]

[...] Those areas include the psychic one, the creative one, the financial one, and the mental one. [...]

As far as dilemmas go, he feels one as far as Prentice is concerned, since he sees Prentice as a vehicle (underlined) that moves his work out into the public arena, and he feels that that vehicle is at best presently stalled, while no other one is in immediate practical sight. [...]

[...] They are, however, the exterior picture of the inner one—to go ahead or to retreat. [...] Instead the situation is a stalled one. [...]

(This was one of the spots where I felt like interrupting Seth to protest that I for one—and Jane. [...]

[...] There are two triangles which have merged into one, for one is involved with the present, and one with the future. [...]

[...] One man is more prominent. I interpret this to mean that two men are involved beside Philip, and that one is more prominent or much stronger than the other. [...]

[...] One man is white-haired, one is sandy-haired. [...]

One is a Presbyterian or an Episcopalian, and the weak man either has no particular religion or no strong questions or doubts regarding existence. [...] Now I have the letters R and J. Whether these are initials of one man, or the first letters of two men’s names, I do not know.

(But with a new insight growing out of this month’s series of private sessions, I explained, I now felt that one could more directly get at the heart of one’s challenges, instead of trying to cajole the body into behaving differently—after all, the body’s condition was the result of certain ways of thinking, not the cause of the trouble. [...] One might better address the fears of being the public person, for example, rather than trying to futilely patch up a body that was only faithfully following mirroring habits of deep and long standing.

As far as physical therapy is concerned, if you gave hot water packs—plain towels, or Frank’s gadget—either one—the same or even half the attention you gave the cold water baths, this would now be of excellent immediate benefit. There are reasons why the body might at one time respond to the cold, then the hot water. [...]

[...] Those early autumn sessions, and the late summer ones, are of help here to balance what we are doing now, for they remind Ruburt of the magical framework and its operation, and assure him that relaxation is one of the best methods that release Framework 2 and its creativity. [...]

[...] Again, certain suggestions couched one way will work at one time, according to the circumstances, while the same group may be rather adverse to fit other circumstances. [...]

[...] One was a painting purchased by Carl and Sue Watkins (which, half jokingly, we had called Moses); one, the portrait of me (pause); and one that you have not completed — that the Dean (Seth’s friendly title for Tom M., one of the members of ESP class) asked about recently, of a woman. [...]

The boy has been in several locations, with one stop, a brief one, in a hospital. [...]

[...] (Pause.) He had one job, in what seems to be a factory location, in a rather dark environment, with rows of what I assume to be machinery and large windows, treated so that the sunlight did not shine through brightly.

[...] Also he sent a telegram I believe, either to someone, or he will send one to his mother.

The headings can only hint at the mass of material behind each one, of course. But as Jane enthusiastically put it when we were discussing where to divide the six sections of “Unknown” Reality, Volume One, provides the general background and information upon which the exercises and methods in Volume 2 depend.” [...]

[...] Seth’s information and my own notes detail the interdependent, yet spontaneous, psychic and physical relationships within which each of us elects to move; they reveal how a conscious understanding of such factors, some of which may reach back into one’s childhood, can help greatly in practical daily living. As Seth comments in the 742nd session for April 16, 1975, in Section 6: “It is obvious that when you move from one place to another you make an alteration in space — but you alter time as well, and you set into motion a certain psychological impetus that reaches out to affect everyone you know … Such messages are often encountered in the dream state. [...]

In Section 4, then, Seth has more to say about CU and EE units, cellular consciousness, ancient man, evolution, space travel, and other seemingly disparate subjects as he continues to develop his thesis that “biologically the species is equipped to deal with different sequences of time while still manipulating within one particular time scheme.” [...]

One of Jane’s earlier travels through an altered state of consciousness, in September, 1972, resulted in the first session on her unique “slow” and “fast” sounds, then led into information on faster-than-light particles, black holes, white holes, and “dead” holes. [...]

One half-hour a day is more than sufficient, considering these sessions. And also, I am at present against these fairly frequent sessions where, on the one hand, Ruburt pretends that he is merely resting; that is, he pretends to himself, but actually he is expanding his energies, and expending them just as quickly, for this amounts to more than one psychological time experiment daily.

[...] Once in a while Jane and I have discussed extra sessions, but usually we do not have the time, particularly when other experiments like the one involving Father Trainor crop up. [...] Also one involving questions and answers.)

[...] The experience concerning the poetry was a legitimate one. [...]

[...] In one respect I do agree with Ruburt, in that any future experiments with friends would be of better advantage carried out using chairs at a table, and actually making as few suggestions as possible.

[...] Try to be aware of all of them at once, so that one adds to the others. If you find yourself being more concerned with one particular perception, then make an attempt to bring the ignored ones to the same clear focus. [...]

(Pause.) The unknown reality is a variation of the one that you know, so that many of its features are latent rather than predominant in your own private and mass experience. [...] Your consciousness must learn to organize itself in more than one fashion — or rather, you must be willing to allow your consciousness to use itself more fully. [...]

One of the simplest exercises is hardly an original one, but it is of great benefit.

The first journey from one home station to another, unfamiliar one may bring you in contact with various kinds of bleed-throughs, distortions, or static. [...]

Suggestion is therefore one of the characteristics of action. The term suggestion is a poor one. [...] Nevertheless, expectation is only one phase, for the same kind of inner directive activity is pertinent within all forms of action.

[...] This also implies that some part of the personality does the choosing, and is capable of distinguishing a constructive suggestion from an impeding one. And here it is necessary that we discuss more thoroughly the nature or characteristics of constructive suggestions versus impeding ones, for one may turn into the other.

The inner self here, through intuitive insight, can usually recognize whether an action is an impeding or a constructive one for the purposes of the personality involved. Even an action which appears blatantly as an impeding action, may temporarily serve as a constructive one. [...]

For all actions merge one into the other, and none are truly independent; and all units merge one into the other, and all boundaries shift, and are arbitrarily chosen. [...]

[...] I’d also forgotten to type that one, and for the same reason, evidently. I believe that’s the first time in well over a thousand sessions that I’ve forgotten to type one. [...]

[...] The entire idea, or fear, that Ruburt had at one time of leading other people down the garden path, was based upon those old beliefs. [...] You are approaching a state of mind, individually and jointly, that represents far more closely one that is natural, with which the natural person is innately equipped.

[...] Generally speaking, for the purposes of this discussion, there are two kinds of education — one focused toward teaching the child to deal with the natural world, and one focused toward teaching the child how to deal with the cultural world. [...]

[...] A private search was one thing — but one publicly followed was something else (intently).

[...] According to him the consciousness, the individual consciousness of time one, becomes something else at physical death, and the consciousness that is part of time two in physical life becomes dominant in the next existence. There is one large difference here between us however, and I believe an important one. Priestley’s individual, after death, with his dominant time two consciousness, has available to him what was time one during physical life.

But when you leave time one behind, or because you leave time one behind at death, this is no reason to imagine that time one exists separate and apart from basic time. [...] You are merged with the life force now, and no one can deny that you are individualistic.

[...] Sometimes one of them is accurate on one point, and the other one completely off, and sometimes they are both wrong.

[...] But this individual as seen by Priestley at this particular point is somewhat limited, still, by this time one. Time one is available to him, though not necessarily as a series of moments, one after another. [...]
