“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] In that one area of Ruburt’s condition, you focus upon the improvements that occur. You do not compare the present situation with a past one in a detrimental manner. [...]

(Today I read the deleted session for June 24, 1973—one of those in the 1973 deleted book that Seth suggested I read, in the last session. [...]

[...] In Personal Reality I stressed many of these points for our readers, but you yourselves forget to apply them in that one important area of your lives. [...]

To some extent the perspective one, two, three material is related to Frameworks 1 and 2, for the symbols of your mind grow in their own fashion, changing shape and form, but following the emotional content rather faithfully. [...]

At one time or another most people consider the possibility of their own death. [...] With some people, however, the idea of death seems to grow obsessive, so that it is felt to be the one escape from life’s problems. [...]

Starting over — changing one’s beliefs, is a bold endeavor. [...]

(3:28.) If we are talking about starting over, however, we may as well begin at one of the lowest points and work upward. [...]

[...] There are certain conditions, however, that promote suicidal activity, and the termination of one’s own life has been held in great disrepute by many religions and societies, though not in all.

[...] We have fear and rage on the part of the girl, for despite the children she is yet a girl, and a very nice one. [...]

[...] You must make an emotional bridge, for she will not understand an intellectual one. [...]

She fears, for one thing, that you could run the house more efficiently than she can, and basically that you do not need her. [...]

One of the children is suffering to some extent psychologically because of the dilemma, and you are too much the autocrat with this child, a female.

The explanation is a good possible one. However, it is the only one that your psychologists would consider, and at least two other possible explanations exist. [...]

[...] She was smoking, and opened her eyes but the one time to put out her cigarette. [...]

For one thing, association is not clearly understood by any means. [...]

[...] They continue to consider time as a series of moments, one following the other.

Measurements can be made of one so-called one physical object merely because inner communication is so exact and extensive. In our last session, during a break, Philip mentioned the television set as being one physical object, about which he believed you could all agree in any discussion of size, material, color and dimension.

In comparison with a human’s construction of your cat, for example, the bug creates a limited one, but one that is nevertheless efficient and valid for his own purposes. [...]

[...] Telepathy is one of the main binders in the world of constructions. The similarities, and there may be an almost endless number of constructions of what you might call one physical object, the similarities only seem so great because you see so little.

[...] This interaction is extremely important, and the balance continues to be a delicate and sometimes perilous one.

[...] Decubitus ulcers: one of the first terms we’d added to our rapidly growing medical vocabulary—and one of the more stubborn afflictions for a human being to get rid of once they’ve become established. [...]

[...] Then we sat quietly side by side at the round card table we’d placed at one end of our battered old couch in the living room. [...] The whole creative intimacy of our hill house was one that we’d enjoyed many times; we desperately wanted to return to that same ambience many more times.

[...] After answering approximately 50 letters one weekend, the next weekend I could barely hold a pen to write my name. [...] A few days later I wound up in the emergency room of one of our local hospitals—and there, all too quickly I became familiar with the medical profession’s battery of testing paraphernalia. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Some kind of white gum, or glue, had been rubbed into my scalp through my hair to improve the electrical contacts, and when the test was finished the attendant simply grabbed one area of the equipment and pulled the entire mess off my head in one motion—which felt like my entire scalp was coming off. [...]

[...] I’ve had several such “dreams,” and I know that they are completely different from ordinary ones. For one thing, the critical abilities are functioning and in normal dreams they are not. [...]

[...] He promised three some time ago, and we’d been on one. [...]

[...] His abilities have developed along the lines of psychic-vision, as explained in The Seth Material. His projections have been infrequent, and he never gained conscious awareness of any from the sleep state until this one. [...]

I was particularly aware of my lower astral legs, hovering above the physical ones, and took great pleasure in wiggling them about, enjoying the marvelous sense of freedom and lightness they possessed. [...]

(The session is quite unusual, in that all of it is devoted to experimental material of one kind or another. [...] The landlord data arose out of one of those rather small incidents that keep accumulating emotional charges when most of the people involved turn stubborn.

(Jimmy was one of perhaps a dozen children. As a child, one of his tasks was to pick coal along the railroad tracks in winter.)

[...] Finally one of the tenants threatened to move, after feelings had been bruised all around. [...]

(The session was held this evening with the chance that it might be interrupted. One of the tenants in the house had finally located a man with a plow, who was due to clear the area at 9 PM this evening. [...]

I am going to tie this in with material dealing with the differences that you seem to see in one particular object. [...] It is not to be explained by saying that one man sees a given object differently than another because of a particular mood that may assail him.

[...] There are at this time still two more physical Marks, one created by Ruburt, and one created by your cat.

[...] My personal feeling is that Seth’s enormous cranium in the drawings is a symbolic one—perhaps one pertaining to Bill’s feeling that Seth possesses greater or different knowledge than we do.

You will understand that it is completely erroneous to think in terms of one physical universe. [...] That is, in the apparent space of one room, you will understand that there are four rooms.

[...] If your perceptive mechanisms were primarily set up as a result of intuitive association rather than time sequence, then you would perceive all of these chairs at one time; or seeing one, you would be aware of the others. [...]

[...] Yours is no more legitimate than any other, but it is the only one that you perceive.

[...] If you were thinking in terms of physical reality, then this area could be likened to one immediately above the atmosphere of your earth. [...]

[...] You perceive its reality through one set of highly specialized senses. [...]

[...] Something strange about the suit, as if it is the only dark colored one close by, at least.

—Though there is a beach to the left and right, rather wide ones.

The name of one establishment has to do with twin, or two.

One (name) has to do with a cluster of things, and a group or a group like a nest for example.

(9:05.) One person’s dreams, therefore, while his or her own, will still fit into an important notch in the dreams of a given family. One person might, because of his or her own interests, seek largely from dreams warnings of difficulty or trouble, and therefore be the family’s dream watchguard—the one who has, say, the nightmares for everyone else. [...]

[...] This is a highly important point, for “the technological world out there” was at one time the world of dreams. The discoveries and inventions that made the industrial world possible were always latent in man’s mind, and represented an inner glittering landscape of probability that he brought into actualization through the use of dreams—the intuitive and the conscious manipulation of material that was at one time latent.

[...] The person interested most in herbs and plant life would also find that nightly dreams mirrored that daytime preoccupation, so that nightly dream excursions might find the dreamer examining strange herbs in another location than the native one. [...]

[...] There is an entire global dream network, in other words, that goes quite unrecognized—one of spectacular organization in which exchanges of information occur that give you the basis for the formation of recognized physical events.

(Within 15 minutes of finishing her statement, Jane spontaneously began writing a second, longer one. She produced it in an altered state of consciousness — albeit a sort of grudging one, as her subsequent notes show. [...]

(Here in the last paragraph, then, is a pertinent clue, and one that Jane arrived at without asking Seth: She’s experienced such translation challenges often since beginning “Unknown” Reality — hence her talk before many of these sessions [from the 679th on] about attaining that “certain clear focus,” or “the one clearest place in consciousness,” before she began speaking for Seth.

“Usual memory is as much a sifting process as it is anything else, in which experience’s intensity varies — sometimes ‘alive’ neurologically and sometimes not — just to focus our consciousness in one probable action or series. [...]

[...] Past motion and acts still go on, not recurring — it’s hard to explain — but those past actions are still exploring other probabilities, while our nervous structure focuses us in the one (physical) probable reality we’ve chosen. [...]

[...] But if this energy can be put into a specific form, one pimple, one pain, one ulcer, at least the problem is recognized, localized, and can be treated with somewhat less difficulty.

[...] An automobile means one thing to you and one thing to Ruburt. [...]

It does not matter whether the car is old or new, as long as he has one, and it is for this reason that he fights any of your suggestions that you do without one. [...]

First of all, to give you a rest, Joseph, you may tape any sessions that you prefer, say, tape one week’s sessions during which Ruburt could then transcribe the notes to give you some extra time for yourself. [...]

[...] With disentanglement, the inner self disengages itself from one particular camouflage before it either adopts another set smoothly or dispenses with camouflage entirely. This is accomplished through what you might call a changing of frequencies or vibrations: a transformation of vitality from one particular pattern or aspect to another. [...]

[...] Only in one small episode, mentioned earlier, when I felt bodiless and formless, like conscious air, have I ever approached using it.

[...] An ego who can, and has at one time or another accepted as part of itself a violent and unruly desire to kill, for example, will not automatically reject the emotion of hatred. [...] An ego which once accepted such an idea of violence, and knew it as a possibility of action, such an ego, if he then rejects the conception, can no longer afford, ever, to recognize this once acceptable emotion, for he is only too aware of the action that could have at one time developed.

I am not one to say I told you so necessarily. [...]

[...] That is, the fifth dimension appeared infinite in its complexity, but you see that it is but one dimension within an infinite number of dimensions. [...]

[...] Here we have a coming together of actions, a joining and an immersion of one action within another: the action of the subconscious in answering questions put to it by the conscious mind, (use brain rather than mind), and the acceptance, which is itself action on the part of consciousness, of the answers received.

One has to do with a cluster of things, and a group or a group like a nest, for example. One to do with green.

[...] Otherwise, one disappears to be replaced by another.

[...] Something strange about the suit, as if it is the only dark-colored one close by, at least.

[...] Rather wide ones.

[...] By one of those curious coincidences that are not coincidences at all, another dramatic rendition of that same Watergate saga was simultaneously showing on another channel — this one depicting the second spiritual birth of one of the President’s finest cohorts.

(Pause.) No one is as fanatical, and no one can be more cruel, than the self-righteous. It is very easy for such persons “to become [religiously] converted” after such episodes (as Watergate), lining themselves up once more on the side of good, searching for “the power of fellowship,” turning to church rather than government, hearing in one way or another the voice of God.

[...] Scary stories abound about our nuclear dilemmas, ranging from tales of poorly designed plants, control rooms, and instruments, to the failure to promptly report potentially serious accidents, to the fact that in 1978 every one of the country’s more than 70 nuclear power plants had at least one unexpected shutdown because of procedural errors, mechanical failures, or both. [...]

[...] The criteria are actually the ones given in the chapter. [...]

(It will be remembered that in the 33rd session, page 262 [in Volume One}, Seth suggested the date, April 15, 1964, as a significant one for Miss Callahan. [...]

On one level they could be said not to exist, and yet they do exist. [...]

This tinge of time is an attribute of the physical camouflage form only, and even then the relationship between time and ideas, and time and dreams, is a nebulous one. [...]

[...] It is one of the most powerful principles behind or within the vitality that itself composes from itself all other phenomena.

On the contrary, an understanding of the rule of expectation is the one truly practical step you can take whenever any change in physical circumstances is desired. You must replace the negative images you have with positive ones. The negative ones are being faithfully reproduced in physical terms, and this is hardly to your advantage.

[...] The resistance is allowing you to cheat yourself in more areas than one. While you are somewhat better about this, there has been no profound change in your attitudes in this one particular area.

Our own physical climate is a poor one for a session, however. [...]
