“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To Sue and Ned:) I do have one point to make. The child (Sean) was a girl—1432—France—and at one time your sister—strong literary abilities—some interest in music—should not be pampered for the personality is already given to indulgence. There may be an allergy to wheat—early in life—was also known to this one here in Spain—the country now called Spain—in 801 as an uncle—then a warrior-type personality—but again given to indulgence. [...]

[...] I want you to seriously consider each one of the paintings and tell me which one is Bega! [...]

[...] I did indeed however stand in front of each one of you and looked into your faces and you did not see me. [...]

[...] A mole or mark on one of the feet—a possible weak point in the right elbow—given to high exuberance, quick moods—but not forgiving. [...]

It seemed to him that you were always going to leave your job one day and paint, but that day never came and the two of you were going to move one day, but that day never came, so he forced the one issue. [...]

[...] This individual, nameless to us, had built the elaborate shower in apartment five, which is one of the two apartments we have here.

[...] I did encourage you to move at one time.

[...] Ruburt does feel closed in; to some extent you also do —not free for example in the summer to take advantage of the yard—one minute example. [...]

[...] The Tone and Volume One controls are set as far to the left as possible during recording. [...] The entire recording is being made on Monaural One, Side One and Side Two.

[...] The recording was begun with the footage set at 000 prior to Jane’s introduction, on Monaural One, Side One.)

[...] The delivery ended with the footage registering 333 on the recorder, Mono One, Side One.

[...] Footage at break was 552, Mono One, Side One.

This sixth sense is one of the basic ones which makes use of the others possible. [...] It is merely the innate knowledge which makes manipulation of energy from one form to another possible, and you use it constantly. [...]

(A few days ago Jane and I had looked at another apartment, one much bigger than ours and also more expensive. [...] It belongs to one of Jane’s coworkers at the art gallery. [...]

[...] The solution hit upon is an excellent one, and I had nothing to do with it, having decided that I was much safer if I left such decisions to you from now on. All joking aside, this latest idea should really be an excellent one, and I would have suggested it myself except that I could not get through to Ruburt. [...]

Perhaps a rereading of the material on fifth dimension will help you here, and one of these days we will carry that discussion further. [...] Every place is one place. [...]

[...] You may have one, two or three preferred characteristics that correlate with your ideas, for example, but your concepts about age leave you no such freedom; for at one time or another all of you, “if you are lucky” in your terms, will approach old age.

[...] Usually one hemisphere is dominant. Each one is made up of areas, or lobes, which have specific roles. [...]

[...] Acting upon impulse while we were in the store, I bought one of those watches that gives not only the time of day but the day of the month. [...]

In that chart of belief, disease, poverty, femininity to some extent, non-Christian concepts, and a non-Caucasian racial heritage, are all considered wrong to one degree or another.

[...] 2, one of the plant’s two nuclear reactors, overheated, discharging radioactive water into the river, and began releasing small amounts of radioactive gases into the atmosphere. [...] If the meltdown takes place, spewing great clouds of radioactive materials into the atmosphere, several hundred thousand people could ultimately become casualties in one form or another.

[...] We’ve driven the much longer road distance comfortably enough in one day. “Strange,” I mused to Jane, “that of all the nuclear power plants in the world, we end up living that close to the one that goes wrong….”

[...] She’s worked each day at her third novel on the adventures of Oversoul Seven, and has heard often from Sue Watkins about Sue’s progress with her book on Jane’s ESP class: Conversations With Seth.¹ And with all of her other activities, Jane has held four sessions since the 14th: two personal ones, and two [842–43] on matters other than book dictation.

One is that because objects just originate in man’s imagination anyway, there’s always a strong connection between objects and man’s dreams. [...]

[...] I will work on one book one night and another one the next, if you prefer, or discuss private material or other questions of a general nature, or work twice a week on our present material—whatever suits your fine fancies.”

[...] For what would seem to you to be eons, according to your time scale, men were in the dreaming state far more than they were in the waking one. [...] It was indeed a dreamlike world, but a highly charming and vital one, in which dreaming imaginations played rambunctiously with all the probabilities entailed in this new venture: imagining the various forms of language and communication possible, spinning great dream tales of future civilizations replete with their own built-in histories—building, because they were now allied with time, mental edifices that automatically created pasts as well as futures.

[...] Because of both scientific and religious ones, in Western civilization you believe that there are threats from within also. [...] People respond with illnesses of one kind or another, or through exaggerated [behavior].

(Jane called me early for the session, just to make sure she had one before she became too relaxed. [...]

My present existence is the most challenging one that I have known, and I have known many, both physical and nonphysical. There is not just one dimension in which nonphysical consciousness resides, any more than there is only one country on your planet or planet within your solar system.

My environment, now, is not the one in which you will find yourself immediately after death. [...]

[...] For one thing we do not think of space as you do, and we form whatever particular images we want to surround us.

[...] I use one portion of myself from many personalities that are available to my identity in these communications, and in this book. [...]

(Jane had some other insights into Seth’s multiple channels as she continued dictating Personal Reality after that session,¹ yet we continued to think of the new development as one of mostly theoretical interest. [...] Then on the morning of March 10 — the Sunday before last — we learned that we may have to rethink the idea of Seth-Jane producing more than one major work at a time; for on that day Jane received the outline for another book, along with the knowledge that she’d need Seth’s help in producing it. [...] She added that her experience in “getting it” was related not only to her ability to sense that sometimes more than one stream of material was available from Seth, but to the way that she herself had tuned into the information on neurological speeds late last month. [...]

The Need for an Organized Structure for Experience
If one vanishes, an illness may take its place while a new one forms.

(The following material is, in part, an outgrowth of certain effects described in Personal Reality; see my notes for the 616th session, bridging chapters 2 and 3. That session was held on September 20, 1972, and the notes I’m referring to concern a new development in Jane’s abilities: her initial realization that on at least some occasions she would have more than one channel of information available from Seth. [...]

[...] I feel caught between relaxation — want to lie down — and ambition, that if I just sit here the book will somehow clearly burst out in one way or another. [...]

[...] Simply for the sake of analogy, imagine the image, a humanoid one, of an entity giant-sized, spread out anywhere in your physical universe. [...] On one hand they are a part of the entity, as your cells are a portion of your body. [...]

(I said this because I feared the sepia explanation might be a lengthy one. [...]

[...] They are one. [...]

[...] Some personalities can be a part of more than one entity. [...]

(Since she had no session from yesterday to read, Jane tried to read the session for February 1 — the one that led to her Day 1, 2, 3 program. [...] To me this situation has always been a clear demonstration that one part of herself is still in opposition to another part, and that the fearful self is still dominant though perhaps to a somewhat lesser degree these days, for we have made progress.

[...] I’d sat alone in the office yesterday, the date of my original appointment, with no one ever showing up. [...]

[...] It’s the first one Jane has missed in weeks, literally.

[...] This experience follows, of course, the one I had for my last appointment, and which is on record — when I chipped a tooth and went to my dentist’s office the same day to see if he could fix it — and discovered that I had an appointment I’d forgotten about for that very same time on that same day. [...]

[...] The world that you know is one development in time, the one that you recognize. [...] (Long pause, one of many.) In the reckoning that you accept, the species in its infancy obviously experienced selfhood in different terms from your own. [...]

[...] Myths and tales are formed in which those who love communicate, though one is dead while the other lives. [...]

[...] Love indeed does have its own language — a basic nonverbal one with deep biological connotations. [...]

[...] You are rarely aware of such experiences because you do not believe them possible, and it seems that even consciousness, particularly when individualized, must be in one place or another.

The fact is that although no one taught him to see, he sees. The part of himself that did ‘teach’ him to see still guides his movements, still moves the muscles of his eyes, still becomes conscious despite him when he sleeps, still breathes for him without thanks or recognition and still carries on his task of transforming energy from an inner reality into an outer one. [...]

[...] It is one that I now use with my beginning students though then, of course, it was new to us. [...]

[...] Finally I tried to reach out and envelop the feeling of the houses and trees on either side of me — to sense them as if by inner touch, as I passed each one by.

[...] The session, the twenty-second, was one of our first spontaneous sessions. [...]

Again, it is your comparatively one-lined perspective that makes you think in terms of one particular beginning. [...]

You, any man, participates in more varied perspectives than he knows consciously, and appears in one way or another in more dimensions than he knows. [...] Since all parts were ultimately interconnected, it is impossible to give any one part an origin in terms that could be comprehended by anyone who inhabited a particular unit within.

[...] This is but one simple example. [...] That is, a concept may be brilliantly alive in the dream universe but unexpressed physically, or for one reason or another an intellectual comprehension in the physical universe may not find expression in the dream universe. [...]

[...] You construct dreams automatically, so to speak, with one level of your being in the main, whether you wake or sleep, and whether you are aware of the dreams or not. [...]

[...] The system is basically a good one but the flaw, one in particular, is a tragic one. [...]

(The 303rd session, held Saturday evening, November 26, with Eugene and Sarah Bernard, was a long and active one. The whole week had been a very busy one for Jane and me, and we were left somewhat short of sleep.

[...] It is true that in one sense you have never left this self. [...] Your have purposefully explored other systems as you explore this one.

[...] On one level then it is true that death, like life as you know it, is an illusion. [...]

[...] I think it is a therapeutic one; I have been requesting one from the subconscious. It involves some projection, I think, and is one of those dreams where I was now and then aware of my dreaming condition. [...]

The whole self of which Ruburt is a part is an extremely elastic one. [...] Therefore this whole self surrounds many more moment points simultaneously, using one moment point in particular as a reference or entry point.

Translations, and faithful ones, of my communications are constantly made by a certain portion of his inner self. Nor is your capacity here a passive one. [...]

[...] At home that evening she questioned her subconscious with the old pendulum technique, and learned she had left the package in the dressing room of a certain store—one which had already said no package had been found.

[...] Her pace was a good one, though not as fast as last session’s.)

[...] You are deliberating that this represents one stage of your feelings. [...] You have only taken one aspect and dramatized it for yourself. [...]

[...] The episode was not a traumatic one. It was simply an emotional one, a trivial incident, however, that you picked up telepathically. [...]

[...] You want to be cautious, yet you want to find out what there is about the nature of reality and in this implied bargain you are the one who will make the inroads or seem to go ahead to have the freedom and spontaneity to do so. [...] Now at this time, it seems too much to bear both at the same, and so our friend here is being the critical one for you and then you can free yourself for this trance work knowing that any questions of a critical nature that you might have will be asked by her and, therefore, you will feel free to go ahead. [...]

(To Valerie.) This one was here last night and I was here and I spoke to you because I am such a friendly fellow and you do not remember. [...]

(As is usually the case in our private sessions, Jane’s Seth voice was only a little deeper than her own regular one. [...] I often think it bears traces of a European heritage — but one that’s impossible to pinpoint by country. [...]

[...] Each one is highly related to each of the others. Nothing happens in one such kingdom that does not affect the others. [...]

(One of the events we’ve been preparing for is the visit tomorrow of Tam Mossman, Jane’s editor at Prentice-Hall, Inc. [...]

[...] One species might use another, for instance. [...]

[...] If he had set out, and he didn’t, to plan a process that would enable him to use his abilities to the fullest in his writing and other fields in which he is interested, and yet to discipline himself so that he did not scatter his abilities, if he had set out on a plan toward maturity, and to set definite controls upon his sometimes too fast, out-of-proportion responses, he could not have found a better path than the one which he is now following.

[...] This fear of authority is one of the reasons for his admirable independence of mind and spirit.

In earlier years such a situation was faced by Ruburt in a blind panic run from one end of the continent to another. [...]

[...] If authority says spell a word one way, Ruburt defiantly spells it another.
