“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

For the worlds are so composed that each one is a part of each other one, and there is no disconnecting. There is no place or space, psychological, psychic, where those worlds exist apart from each other, so you cannot say that one is more highly evolved than another.

[...] Mitzi was chasing one of her paperfoil toys down the cellar stairs. …

(Pause, one of many.) I choose my words quite carefully at times, because I realize the various interpretations that can be placed upon them. [...]

[...] You may “speak” through art or music, through trance activities, but you will specialize in the use of the inner senses, and in translating the inner knowledge of the species, bringing it to whatever level of ordinary consciousness that is considered the official one.

[...] (Pause.) Ruburt is now far more willing to make certain changes in his life than he was earlier, and he sees himself more as one of a living congregation of creatures—less isolated than before, stripped down from the superperfect model, and therefore no more under the compulsion to live up to such a psychological bondage (all with some emphasis). [...] He found a mixed world—one hardly black or white, one with some considerable give-and-take, in which under even the most regrettable of circumstances there was (underlined) room for some action, for some improvement, for some decision, for some creative response. [...]

[...] It seems to me that it very neatly sums up the core of Jane’s difficulties—that one, along with a longer excerpt from the deleted session for January 26, 1981 just previous. That one concerns Jane’s fear of the spontaneous self, and how she regarded her immobility as a form of protection.

[...] I’d spent some little time trying to talk her into a short session to begin with, and she’d finally agreed to try for one. [...]

[...] “But it’ll be a real short one.” [...]

[...] One may be called “Life in the twelfth century A.D.” One may be called “Life in the eighteenth century,” or “in 500 B.C.,” or “in A.D. 3000.” [...]

[...] Consider your present self as an actor in a play; hardly a new analogy, but a suitable one. [...]

[...] You do not understand your own multidimensional reality; therefore it seems strange or unbelievable when I tell you that you live many existences at one time. [...]

[...] The assumptions are that time is a series of moments one after another; that an objective world exists quite independently of your own creation and perception of it; that you are bound within the physical bodies that you have donned; and that you are limited by time and space.

[...] Everything in it, while retaining its own size to my vision, became microscopically small and dear, like a child’s model of a world — but one that was real and living, with my rooms inside one of the innumerable toy houses. [...]

[...] Beginning Monday morning, however, Jane began experiencing another strongly surging burst of creative inspiration — a clearly transcendent one that lasted for several hours. [...]

sent out by other ones,

[...] With my inner sight I felt that one of those forms, sturdy and impossibly massive, might bend down and with his gigantic face peek into my kitchen window … though I was also aware that all of this was my interpretation of what I was receiving.

This will show you how the thoughts brought about the physical malady, and which ones were involved. [...] This may be perceived as bursts of dark or light colors in motion, or simply one particular emotion of great force may be felt. If it is very strong, one emotion may be felt in many such guises. [...]

[...] But one step away from this is another level of consciousness into which you all slip without knowing. [...]

[...] A-1 is a sidestep away, therefore, and yet an important one.

Any such physical clues can help you differentiate between this state of consciousness and the usual predominating one. [...]

Each channel will represent a portion of the self, each one existing in a different dimension, and yet all part of the whole self, or the whole tape. You can see that it would be highly ridiculous to say that the material on your Mono One was any more or any less valid than your material on Mono Two. Mono One and Mono Two could be compared then to self one and two; self one and two here, however, in the context of the ego as self one and the subconscious as you know it as self two. [...]

We will imagine then these various one and two, Mono One and Mono Two, multiplied, literally, an endless amount of times. [...]

[...] Two men, one taller than the other. Both of them here at one time or another.

(“Two men, one taller than the other. Both of them at one time or another.” This I felt to be a rather far-removed connection involving myself and the service manager of the Ford garage in town that keeps our car running. [...]

[...] The lines in the palm, indicated by black lines, are in actuality in white on the original print, so that the effect is the interesting one of a hand in reverse, or perhaps a map or plan printed in reverse. [...] This is but one of many prints I made that evening; I discovered it is not easy to obtain a full print that has good overall detail.

One of the other men mentioned has a mustache, a dark one, though he is not necessarily a young man, and pointed features. [...]

[...] There is nothing about this one to distinguish it from many of the others. [...]

[...] He is a part of, or a fragment of, my whole self, and an independent one.

He wants to know in what dimension dream locations have their reality, and indeed he has considered all of the possibilities save the correct one. The correct one is the most simple one.

[...] It isn’t necessary here to go into these points in detail one by one, either in the data on page 32, or on the envelope object. [...]

(“A miscellany of shapes that all point toward one direction.” This is one of Seth/Jane’s favorite ways to refer to writing, whether handwritten or printed. [...]

Each dream location is created by the individual precisely in the same way that I have explained to you; that is, they do not differ basically from physical locations, but in one degree. [...]

[...] The idea of interrelated fields comes closer, of course, yet even here you are simply changing one kind of term for one like it, only slightly different. [...]

[...] Reactions were excellent; she still receives an occasional call or letter about one of those shows in particular. [...]

Ultimately your use of instruments, and your preoccupation with them as tools to study the greater nature of reality, will teach you one important lesson: The instruments are useful only in measuring the level of reality in which they themselves exist.¹ Period.

[...] Even as a means, objective science is only helpful for a while, because it will constantly run up against deeper inner realities that are necessarily shunted aside and ignored simply because of its method and attitude.² No objective science or splendid technology alone will keep even one man or woman alive, for example, if that individual has decided to leave the flesh, or finds no joy in daily life.

[...] He knows what ones I mean. [...]

(“Do you want to say something about Jane’s dream about her mother, on Monday—the one that upset him?”)

He saw his mother, but the image was a projected one. [...]

[...] She said that Seth didn’t mention one part of the dream: that after it she became aware of herself saying “You’ll have to say goodbye to your cats.” [...]

A war is one kind of natural event brought about as feelings and beliefs interact on one level. [...]

Now: Dictation: There is a constant give and take between each individual and his or her society; the divisions and characteristics of any particular civilization will be a perfect exterior representation of the overall attributes of the people within it, as they relate to one another and as they see themselves.

The exterior dimensions are replicas of interior personal ones. [...]

Because of the personal material given in late sessions, Ruburt has the habit of worrying—protecting the idea of time and ability as described, so that in one day he will worry about what distractions may arise the next day, and this puts him on guard. [...]

[...] His mental habits however often prevent hint from such oneness with the moment. [...]

[...] You desperately want Ruburt to improve significantly, yet you are afraid when some improvement shows, lest it will be a “false one” that will not last.

[...] In creative time one adds to the other.

[...] It seems that we also got our signals crossed, for I learned today that she’d been ready for a session; but because I didn’t come out of the writing room and ask her if she wanted one, she thought I didn’t want one....

[...] The original prerogative is the creative one, from which all benefits automatically flow.

[...] He did not want book dictation on the one hand, for that reason. [...]

(I should have asked whether Seth was referring to last night’s missed session, or to this one.)

One thing you should know: action cannot stop. [...] Individuality is a direct result of the overall oneness of this action. Action is also a direct result of individual identities, for without these psychological dimensions, oneness could not multiply itself.

Your psychologists are dealing with one-dimensional psychology at their best. [...]

[...] Yet all of you are a part of one self, you see, in a multidimensional psychological structure.

These make up the basic identity structure of one whole self. [...]

Now during the dream drama the inner self may focus at various, or at one of various subconscious areas which it uses as a point of departure. This area, whichever one it may be, will be the one in which the main dream sequence originates and in which the dream activity occurs.

Hypnosis is one method of examining dreams. Our method is perhaps the best one. [...]

[...] Because of the originating area of the dream, you chose the Potter lad’s mother, and she was the connecting image from one area to another. Even in your dream, she carried you in a car from one location to another.

[...] She said that while she was delivering the above material on one level, she also received the thought from Seth “on another level” that she should sleep for three-quarters of an hour after supper on session nights. She has reported this dual reception on a few occasions before, and as before she said she was able to give voice to but one level at a time.

[...] As a rule you will usually have such experiences to begin with through one inner sense. You are not adept enough yet to recognize inner data from more than one direction at a time.

[...] You remember, Joseph, the rather frightening sensation you felt during one instance of your use of one inner sense, when you translated inner data into the almost nightmare picture of open mouths that could not scream. [...]

[...] With a power saw one man cut into the base of the tree; pulling on a rope thrown over a higher branch, two other men pulled it down. [...]

[...] If you were to have it or one like it, it would seem as if a door suddenly for no reason opened and then just as abruptly closed. [...]

One and One

One and one makes nothing.
Arithmetic destroys us all.
Subtraction is the answer
To our hypothesis.

Morning makes sense
To any animal,
And each one feels
Death’s decimal.

I remember writing this poem on one of a series of dreary afternoons in which it seemed that life in general had little meaning.

Now: Dictation: Ruburt and Joseph (as Seth calls Jane and me) have always seen themselves in a one-to-one relationship with nature and with the universe. [...]

[...] The one-to-one feeling of involvement with nature operated strongly here; they would take their chances then on individual bases. [...]

[...] In one manner of speaking, however, Ruburt and Joseph were quite prepared. [...]

[...] For one thing, of course, they lived (and still do) on the second floor. [...]

[...] An open mind is by far one of the best advantages that you can possess. [...] One belief, for example, may seem to negate another belief. [...]

Your suggestions this evening were good ones. [...]

In your cases, at the very least one weekend a month should be set aside for sensuous immersion in the patterns of nature, when usual practical considerations are dispensed with. [...]

This has been lacking with Mark, for one, presently away. [...]

[...] I am yanking them out of their bodies one by one, you see, and this one yells and at the last moment pulls back. [...]

In one evening it is impossible to go into the complications of that existence, or for that matter, of this one. [...]

[...] You do not have all of your reincarnational backgrounds and one life in particular may surprise you considerably. [...]

[...] Now, you were a fine Irishman at one time. [...]
