“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The remark of mine to be discussed was one I had made around supper time, and I was now rather surprised to see it crop up in the material.)

[...] Therefore, such personalities that you would project are already projected, and only the veil of unawareness divides you, as only the veil of unawareness ever separates one field or plane from another.

[...] He never expected any financial rewards from poetry, and it occurred to him that in his recent neglect of it he may have been cheating himself in more ways than one.

Rather frequent informal relationships are more practical than occasional formal ones, and Ruburt is already involving himself, again, in the satisfying for him diversified household chores, which are also a break from strict mental work. [...]

In the meantime I will tell you about your Miss Grippo (the editor in question at Ace), and the name is an apt one. [...]

[...] Now astrology has its merits, and many good ones. [...]

[...] Now this was not an astral plane, but a lower one.

[...] Any “thing” in quotes so created entirely of fears, would be frightened, and particularly angry at its creator, and it could do nothing else but attack; in one way to protect what reality it had, for it knew Ruburt created it only to slay it if possible.

[...] There is more than one adulthood in one life. [...]

[...] When one person comes to the door, personal acquaintance or stranger, it is the world knocking. [...]

[...] In fact, your ambiguity puts them in an odd position, for you say one thing and mean another. [...]

It does not matter that Friday night in particular is the time, or that one or two nights, or four nights, in a month are given to social behavior, but that you clearly differentiate, and make that clear.

You see, now, more clearly than you have, that your problems are the results of unfortunate personal reactions and interactions, that two are involved here rather than one.

[...] Now then: on the one hand you attempted to be virile by identifying with your father, yet he was also to you the symbol of a failure. [...]

[...] This is one of the main reasons that he suffers from strong feelings of disloyalty whenever he allows himself to wish that you were more successful in your work, artistically or financially.

[...] (One minute please.)

[...] There is one point I would like to mention here: In all cases, the individual creates his experience. [...]

[...] Any problems that were not faced in this life will, however, be faced in another one. [...]

(10:25.) A strong belief in such opposing forces is highly detrimental, however, for it prevents an understanding of the facts — the facts of inner unity and of oneness, of interconnections and of cooperation. [...]

There are some individuals who have never experienced during physical life that sense of harmony and oneness in which such opposing factors merge. [...]

[...] In this case two distinct notions, one factual and one philosophical, helped keep me at ease.

(First, during that 10-week break Seth-Jane held a series of 18 sessions — excellent ones — that once again did not constitute dictation for Mass Events. Second, if one keeps in mind Seth’s ideas about simultaneous time, that basically all happens at once [even considering Seth’s own acknowledgment that time “…is therefore still a reality of some kind to me”], then it hardly matters how long a break transpires between particular sessions; there is no real separation; dictation on any subject or project can be resumed whenever all involved — Jane, Seth, and myself — choose, and it will be as though the break never existed. [...]

[...] Our hypothetical director will know which actors are free, which actors prefer character roles, which ones are heroes or heroines, and which smiling Don Juan always gets the girl — and in general who plays the good guys and the bad guys.

[...] Following our analogy, the technicians, the actors, the writers all assemble — only in this case the result will be a live event rather than a televised one. [...]

[...] Hence the late starting hour for this one.

[...] Seth on various occasions has claimed this painting, along with one other, to be likenesses of him. [...]

[...] Peggy drinks one as a habit. [...]

[...] He did say that Don would leave his present job because it offered no opportunities for advancement, and that he would try three other positions before he settled into one he really liked. [...]

[...] I am not speaking here of a one-sided expansion, in which so-called occult tendencies are emphasized at all, but in an overall reeducation of consciousness, in which the operational self becomes aware of areas that have been considered taboo.

[...] We are contributors, and important ones. [...]

[...] A wrist is not held frozen because of one belief only, but because of a belief that is composed of many small components. [...]

[...] You and Ruburt should be willing to express your emotions to each other even more than you have, for they have a quickening element, and are highly important in moving you from one state of awareness into another. [...]

(Pause.) You will not feel the need, say, to “justify your existence” by exaggerating a particular gift, setting up the performance of one particular feat or art as a rigid ideal, when in fact you may be pleasantly gifted but not greatly enough endowed with a certain ability to give you the outstanding praise you think you might deserve.

On the other hand, there are many highly gifted people who continually put down their abilities, and are afraid to take one small step toward their expression. [...]

[...] This may involve a lengthy journey for some of you, with your belief systems, for many of your impulses now are the result of the pressure caused by perfectly normal unacknowledged ones in the past. [...]

For a start you will acknowledge your existence in the framework of nature, and to do that you must recognize the vast cooperative processes that connect each species with each other one. [...]

(We’ve held only three private, or deleted, sessions since Seth came through with the last regular one [the 885th] almost six weeks ago. [...]

[...] But Jane doesn’t yet have one she likes.

[...] Quite awesome creative abilities on our part, I’d say, and ones that unknowingly we take for granted. [...]

The physical senses are the extensions of inner senses ³ that are, in one way or another, a part of each physical species regardless of its degree. [...]

[...] Pause.) There is no basic contradiction between the man’s ideas and those orthodox ones followed by his wife. The difference is only an apparent one. [...]

(Pause, one of many here.) This woman has made that decision. The woman is one for whom the wife feels strong emotional attachment. [...]

[...] (Pause; one of many.) There seems to be some other important event that will intervene or happen first. [...]

(Pause, one of many.)

[...] Jane came out of trance quickly enough, though it had been a good one. [...]

[...] It would look like one single unit—say, it is of circular form—so it would appear like a small globe with the poles lined up as in your earth.

If this large unit were then attracted to another larger one, circular, with the poles running east and west, in your terms, then the first unit would change its own polarity, and all of the units within it would do the same. [...]

[...] She wrote one verse of a poem this morning, but isn’t very pleased with it. [...]

It may seem that the question of services (like the lawn) is a mundane one, yet it is connected of course with your attitudes toward work and daily life. [...]

(Frank had an idea about placing one of our old chairs on rollers so Jane could be wheeled right beside the john to slide over onto it while she was having walking difficulties. [...]

[...] I may try a slicker covering for the cushion if one can be found. [...]

You do not simply have, say, one past self, or one future self, but many— for your consciousness shoots out, so to speak, in all directions “faster than the speed of light.”

[...] To our considerable surprise, much in the essays has turned out to be not what one might expect, and Jane disagrees with a number of points therein. [...]

[...] The problem is, again, that while you are focused in the world of matter, you are allied with only one aspect of your entire consciousness. [...]

[...] I was surprised that she said she’d have one: “I don’t know whether I can do this, Bob, or how far I’ll get, but I’m going to try …”

[...] Jane had talked about how much she loved nature, and how she wanted to see the house one more time, and the cats. [...]

[...] This is actually an improvement for her, for since around July 4 she hasn’t taken in any solid food with very few exceptions — and then only a crust, one might say. [...]

(I’d like to add that while there’s life there’s hope, and that as Seth has said many times, one who doesn’t want to die — as Jane said the other day she didn’t — won’t for any reason. [...]

[...] Dr. George Instream is an upstanding and upright man, and a very cautious one. [...]

[...] The series of tests, held twice weekly, ran for one year.)

[...] Such a visit therefore will allow an examination of the material, if a brief one. [...]

The relative stability of the physical system in sleep is one of the reasons why extrasensory perceptions so often make themselves known then. [...]

One woman, another follower, for Ruburt is the leader of this group, pushes a landscape of yours across the floor ahead of her—preserving, you see, your art as well as Ruburt’s. Finally one of the women objects strenuously and decides to stand up and show herself. [...]

[...] One portion of himself is a character, male, with bound hands, and Ruburt must help this person over barriers, of course because his hands are tied symbolically behind his back.

[...] There will also be an improving of company prestige, and this development hinges, believe it or not, one man who is at present considered relatively innocuous and unimportant. [...]

[...] I believe that a forementioned death will result in a change of policy in one respect, and a change in policy will help quicken the advent of the new product. [...]

[...] If there was a chance of this it would be a remote one, and unexpected.

(But while we were eating those portions, another new development in Jane’s progress occurred —and an important one. [...]

[...] He did not specify anything in particular, and so left open the doorway so that his creative intelligence could choose unimpeded by too much conscious coloring—hence his first excellent attempt at holding a plate and feeding himself, even if the plate was a paper one. [...]

[...] For each of you are involved in changing your reality for a more beneficial one. [...]

[...] Feel the kernel of your consciousness rise as one of your seeds, higher beyond the knowledge of seasons, beyond the feeling of your days or moments, beyond the relationships of blood, beyond all those kinships which you take for granted. [...]

[...] Your image was an excellent one and in your terms it represents the characteristics of space as you might relate to it and also to those black pockets of which the physicists are speaking where all realities swooped into these, so to speak. [...]

Now I am doing this to help Ruburt all the way down and also to give you some information for that symbol was a good one (to Joel). [...]
