“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] When you continue to think of events—and publishing is one—as multidimensional creativity, involving many people instead of one, then you have some leverage to help you understand. [...] I have given you a good deal of material explaining how information is communicated both on a cellular basis and on a mental one—how it is communicated through the dream state, and I have explained the importance of impulses as direct nudges from Framework 2.

[...] You do not have to contact them one by one in Framework 2. The book itself is like a magnet—any book. [...] To brood or worry, or become resentful, is as regrettable as it would be if you, say, painted a big X over one of your paintings because you were dissatisfied with a detail or two. [...]

[...] How events happen is perhaps one of the greatest “mysteries” that you will encounter in physical life. [...]

[...] There is only one person involved. [...]

[...] There is not one small vestige within your physical body at this moment that was within it eight years ago. [...] And so if you change your physical form without knowing it as the years go by, why should it surprise you that at one time you leave the present form that you call your own for another. [...]

[...] I’m trying to make one basic point and the point is that energy and being are not sober, that the personality continues to exist, that those characteristics of mine which I considered mine, in your terms, at one time still continue to exist, and that your personality will also continue to exist. [...]

[...] You worry and all of you worry at one time or another about that which you do not know consciously. Yet you do not know consciously how you breathe and if you did you would be dead, because you could not consciously handle the millions of manipulations that must take place in order to assure one breath. [...]

It is indeed and he has assignments and his class is one of his assignments and he is one of my assignments. [...]

Now: at one point or another, your private reality becomes to some extent a public one, to one degree or another, as it is viewed by and participated in by others.

[...] It was one in which she was attempting to follow in a still-life some of the techniques I’d showed her a few days ago, when I repainted another still-life composition she’d started, and showed her how to get more opaque effects for variety; a demonstration, then, for she’d asked for “a lesson.” [...] But interestingly, she ran into conflicts between her old method, in which she used mostly transparent color, and the new one, which, she complained in her frustration, was “muddy, and lacking vitality. [...]

(10:35.) Such dreams on Ruburt’s part bring one vital message: that he can walk normally, and that this can be easily (underlined) brought about. [...] In waking life, however, you have both been literally hypnotized by the idea that such a recovery is one of the hardest things in the world to achieve (intently). [...]

[...] He digs into it, this present one, concentrates. [...]

(10:31 P.M. Seth’s last remark, which I took to be rather humorous, reflected one of the reasons for Jane’s upset before the session: the conflict she feels between having just book sessions versus obtaining Seth material on at least a few of the other subjects we always have in mind. Currently these include topics like Jonestown, Iran, Frameworks 1 and 2—and one I initiated earlier this year about human reproduction, called “the community of sperm.” [...] I also wanted to know about the deep biological communication that must go on among all of the sperm in a man’s body at any given time, and why one of the “fittest” sperm in a particular ejaculate evidently doesn’t always fertilize the egg. [...]

(9:48.) Units of consciousness (CU’s), transforming themselves into EE units, formed the environment and all of its inhabitants in the same process, in what you might call a circular manner rather than a serial one. [...] In those terms (underlined), each portion of physically oriented consciousness sees reality and experience from its own privileged viewpoint, about which it seems all else revolves, even though this may involve a larger generalized field than your own, or a smaller one.

[...] Any one such particle can be where it “is,” be what it is, and be when it is only because the positions, relative positions, and situations of all other such particles are known.

[...] Your dream forms are quite as real as your physical ones. [...]

(Long pause.) Seth Two is familiar with an entirely different set of symbols and meanings, so that, in this case, two translations are being given — one by me and one by Ruburt.

[...] These minglings of reality and experience, these messages from one system to another, occur in various ways continually, emerging in your world in one guise or another — as inspiration of many kinds. [...]

[...] The “personality” who originated the paragraphs you have just read is such a one.

As mentioned, there is the same kind of connection between that personality and myself as the one that exists between Ruburt and myself. [...]

[...] You have been told simple tales, and they are delightful ones; but if you were not ready to hear more you would not be in this room.

Also, your actions now can affect the future personality as well as the past one. [...]

[...] I am no poet, but as in one of Ruburt’s poems, think of the brain as a web you form about the inner self. [...]

[...] Are they developing as one?”)

One of my students, a businessman, always gets worried when Seth speaks about spontaneity. [...] Seth calls this man “the Dean,” with affectionate humor, because he’s one of my best students, and the others listen to his psychic adventures with a good deal of interest. [...]

“For one thing, while pain is unpleasant, it is also a method of familiarizing the self against the edges of quickened consciousness. [...] Even when the stimulus may be humiliatingly unpleasant, certain portions of the psychological structure accept it indiscriminately because it is a sensation, and a vivid one.”

Over and over again Seth tells us that physical symptoms are communications from the inner self, indications that we are making mental errors of one kind or another. He compares the body in one session to a sculpture “never really completed, the inner self trying out various techniques on its test piece. [...]

“Men and women have joyfully honored the evening and the dawn and listened to the heart pulse within them with a blessing and a joy, who have not had one hundredth of your blessings or one-third the reason to look forward to another day, and they have fulfilled themselves and brought joy to others. [...]

[...] If you want to call any one dream event a private event, then I would have to tell you that that private event actually was your personal contribution to a larger multisided dream event, many-layered, so that one level might deal with the interests of a group to which you belong—say your family, [or] your political or religious organization—reaching “outward” to the realm of national government and world affairs. (Pause.) As your private conscious life is lived in a community setting of one kind or another as a rule, so do your dreams take place in the same context, so that as you dream for yourself, to some extent you also dream for your own family, for your community, and for the world.

[...] They also accused Iraq, with whom Iran is at war, but it’s almost certain that one of the dozen or more Iranian underground revolutionary groups is responsible. [The most powerful one, the Mujahedin-e Khalq, for example, is a Marxist-based guerrilla organization of “People’s Crusaders” that espouses its own brand of radical Islamic republicanism.] The mass killing resulted in an immediate increase in the government’s campaign to eliminate opponents of clerical [Shiite] rule in Iran. [...]

Jane and I think that the psychological effects of the accident at TMI are at least as important as the physical ones—and that eventually they will be much more so around the world. [...]

In all of this—the bombings and persecutions and killings—I thought of great, loose groups of consciousnesses swirling in angry revolt, with each consciousness “working” individually and collectively for and against others, each one seeking to know new creative aspects of itself within the framework of a chosen national structure.²

[...] He did not have to examine each one minutely, for his abilities, after some familiarization, left him with the knowledge of their merits. The stated discernible hypotheses of the various systems are one thing—but their invisible root assumptions are something else. [...]

(Jane said she thought the idea a good one. She also said that she felt our method to date had been “a very necessary one” for us—notes and all. [...]

[...] He climbed through belief systems with an unerring sense of direction, but as he toppled one there was always another. [...]

[...] So while he rebelled against any given framework he was also certain that one did exist.

[...] Yours is simply not one that I have pursued, and one of the purposes of my appearance at these sessions is to acquaint the one you call Ruburt with inner travel, for he must leave the system as you know it, and in doing so set up habits and paths that can be used to advantage.

[...] Jane’s trance was a good one but she came out of it easily enough after I spoke to her. [...] She whispered: “The other one is around here.” [...]

(When she could finally talk Jane revealed that she had been experiencing a concept to accompany the personality’s words; this she has done before when speaking for Seth’s entity, and we have been told before that this is one of the reasons or purposes for her speaking for this new personality. But this one was a rough trip, Jane said. [...]

[...] You would think that one of me would be sufficient.

[...] I believe they were identical to each other, with the same people in each one and the same resolution: a decision I reached in a new house on a hillside. [...] I had no sense of one dream being inside the other one, as in what I call the conventional double dream.”)

Your technological communication system is a conscious construct—a magnificent one—but one that is based upon your innate knowledge of the inner, cellular communication between all species. [...]

[...] And each of your actions, however inconsequential, becomes connected in one way or another—in one way or another—to each other reality and each other world (all with much emphasis).

(“In a session I’m working with now for Mass Events—the 837th, about the death of our cat, Billy One, a year ago—you said there wasn’t any such thing as a cat consciousness, per se.”³ Seth nodded. “Tonight’s session reminds me of that one. [...]

(4th Question: What’s that four plus one? “Four plus one life. [...] Vito is one of the sons in the D’Andreano family and was married a couple of years ago. [...]

[...] Once again, the D’Andreano wedding data, involving the present one concerning Louie, and the distant one concerning my brother Dick, is called up by Jane’s associations, because of the marriage talk between Barbara and Dick on the evening of July 3,1966, when Jane wrote the poem used as object.

[...] For they apply whether or not you understand them, and whether or not the wish is one that you really want fulfilled.

[...] The ink has a symbolic association for you personally, a healing one you see, and its presence, according to my recommendation, has the effect of a mood tonic.

The hill is a friendly and not threatening one, and in other seasons the setting is more open than it is now. The psychic attributes of the house are good ones. It is one of many locations which you would find very suitable, and which if I may say so, would seem almost to be made to order.

[...] The house offered privacy but seemed to raise as many questions as it answered, one of them being that it was situated on a hillside and was accessible only by a very steep dirt road that was not maintained by either state or county.

[...] Jane then stated that she felt Seth’s presence and that we could have a session if we wanted one. [...]

[...] I am glad that you noticed that my prediction concerning a scandal was no idle one, and I would seriously recommend that you avoid any business transactions or personal transactions of any kind with Mr. Marvin, who I believe owns a schoolhouse which you were looking at this afternoon.

(When no one spoke up:) Give me a moment. (To Bill:) Now. [...] Three men seem to be involved, and one you cannot trust. [...] You can seem to be accommodating while holding your own on the one main issue... And do not back down on that one issue. [...]

[...] A group of 4 people; he and a woman are one... Bill’s one; a female relative the other one.”

He seems to be either a relative or a very close associate to one near the very top of your firm. [...] He has been dissatisfied of late, and there will be suggestions made concerning a change in organizational structure in one particular area, and this will affect you indirectly but definitely.

[...] There will be another development, and a good one for him.

[...] She asked me to take some of it home so no one could tell she hadn’t eaten much, but I told her no one checks the trays; there are no names on them, for one thing. [...] Mitzi is going through one of her affectionate stages these days.)

[...] I asked him to see if the latest brand of liquid vitamins my wife is taking could be switched back to her old one, for she dislikes the new ones intensely. [...]

[...] No one knows why the feet turned blotchy, although I think we do. [...]

[...] Their problem therefore is a distortive one. [...] The reality, however, is much more distorted than usual, and this is one of the main problems.

[...] In many cases the individual who is called mentally unbalanced is simply one whose individual reality is so composed that it is impossible for others to find in his expression of it any similarity with their own. The error is one of inadequate idea construction.

[...] His perception of basic reality in one way does not change the nature of that reality or of that action, as it exists independently of his field of reference. [...]

[...] Those whose actions set them apart drastically from others within your system, and who seem in one way or another mentally unbalanced, are often told that they must relate themselves more clearly with reality as it exists.

[...] I even remembered reading at various times that when projecting one knows the difference between that state and a dreaming one. [...]

(“Number fifty-five: This question comes from the answer you gave to number eleven, when I asked you about the training Jane would need in order to deliver one of the ancient Speaker manuscripts. [...] I’m just curious to see if she could approximate one of the Speaker languages.”)

(The bathroom is in the center of our apartment; the living room is on one side of it, the bedroom and my studio on the other. [...]

[...] In some fashion I was aware of my legs especially, suspended above my physical ones. [...]

[...] You must also realize that while I use terms like “soul” or “entity,” “inner self,” and “present personality,” I do so only for the sake of convenience, for one is a part of the other; there is no point where one begins and another ends.

[...] What seems subconscious in one instant may be conscious the next. An unconscious motive may also be conscious at one point. [...]

[...] It is, nevertheless, only one aspect of your soul. [...]

It continues to grow and develop, but its growth and development is highly dependent upon its realization that while it is distinct and individual, it is also but one manifestation of the soul. [...]

In answer to one of your questions. [...] One who tries, an apprentice. [...] Two children, one with a name like Gina (spelled); a relative in Schenectady, New York. [...]

Both of us are obviously then portions of a larger self, and manifestations of it, but one does not end in the other, and one’s purpose is not to become the other. [...]

[...] The class was also a rather large one.

There is one difference of course. [...]

[...] There are, therefore, probable gods, each one reflecting in its way the multidimensional aspects of a prime identity so great and dazzling that no one reality form or particular kind of existence could contain it.

[...] One is through the realization that this prime moving force is within everything that you can perceive with your senses. [...]

[...] On the contrary he will be swept along in a gestalt of comprehension in which he realizes his own oneness with All That Is.

[...] [This is usually the case when I don’t take notes.] One such point had to do with Seth’s statement that whenever a person thinks strongly about another person, a portion of the “thinker” goes out to the “thought-subject,” etc.
