“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] That was some 18 months ago, but actually to one degree or another I’ve been involved with “Unknown” Reality for four years now; I think that temporarily I’ve simply grown tired and overly concerned about the whole project, even while I still have a considerable way to go to finish certain notes and appendixes for Volume 2. Not that I haven’t worked on a number of other things at the same time, of course — but my labors on those two books represent the prolonged, intense focus I always search for in my creative life, and without which I feel incomplete. [...]

(So in one day Jane was able to mentally sort out my material and start to delineate the flow necessary to make the Introductory Notes successful, and she intends to do the same thing with the Epilogue. [...]

[...] (With many pauses:) The main myth through which you interpret your experiences, however, is the one that tells you that all perception and knowledge must come to you through the physical senses.

[...] Those undifferentiated areas are involved in the constant translation of one kind of consciousness into the other, and with energy transferences. [...]

You are presently within one system of reality, one probable reality, the reality that you now know and form physically. Now within that one reality you have reincarnational selves, they belong within the concept of that existence. [...]

Indeed, if, however, one portion of your personality has not learned from the experience, other portions may well, indeed, learn. And while one portion of your personality is in a period of deep depression, other portions may be highly creative of which you may not be aware in the present, in your terms. [...]

[...] Now I am speaking now of any given particular issue, not for example, of an entire mental life style, but beneath the humility a stubbornness; an attention to detail; a freedom of thought on the one hand, but an attention to detail having to do also, with this life when you took care of a sacristy and attended to altar veils and the placement of candles, missals and statues in specific and given places. Also, then, you were one who took care of a church calendar where each given saint had his day and for you, at that time, each day then took on the character of its saint for you believed in this implicitly. [...]

You know one of these brothers in this existence, as a woman. [...] And do not let her put one over on you. [...]

[...] There is nothing wrong with concepts at all as long as you do not use them as hiding places or as steps of security from which you will not leap, one into the other. [...] Within you concepts and actions are one, and you recognize this, and your inner lives are based upon it, but your mental lives are often based upon ideas, until recently, have been considered very modern and very in, such as the idea of evolution. [...] There is not one steady stream of progress. [...]

[...] But, then, no one asked me about the nature of evolution before until recently when our friend, Joseph, read a book. [...]

([Sue:] “Can one entity have two personalities at once in this system of reincarnation?”)

It can, indeed, and I was wondering when you were going to come up with that one. [...]

(“A four plus one”, No connections in particular, although there are several fours and ones on the envelope object. [...]

He should go to the gallery two half-days if necessary, not one full day you see.

[...] Just this one exercise will sharpen your control greatly. [...]

[...] Jane knew that I would have one tonight.

Ruburt has changed since then, and so have I. And yet we are bound together, and no invasion occurs because in one way of speaking our psychic territory is the same. [...] My own emotional feeling, you see, goes outward, which is away from Ruburt often, since basically we are tempted to think of ourselves as one, though actually our roots are merely the same.

The old analogy, rather trite I’m afraid, is still a good one. [...] You are walking so to speak along one narrow path, but there are many paths. [...]

[...] I suggest your break, and keep in mind that I will speak more on the construction of the entity, the tree analogy being a good one, because all of our imaginary seeds do not develop into trees. This does not necessarily mean, either, that there is a deficiency; merely that the consciousness involved does not choose for one reason or another to materialize fully in a particular form, or to develop any given abilities along certain lines. [...]

[...] Ruburt is not myself now, in his present life; he is nevertheless an extension and materialization of the Seth that I was at one time.

[...] As I can note the next day, however, one did develop—so I’m skipping the typing of the sessions for November 8—the second one for that day—and November 9, in order to get right to work on this one. [...]

[...] This one was more extensive. [...] At one time Jane thought she was on the commode in the bedroom, and began to pull up her blouse. [...]

[...] I said you’d get one. You’ll get one.” [...]

[...] The movie on TV’s channel 2 was a bloody tale of youths being killed one by one by wicked, deranged men, near monsters, in dark summer woods. [...]

(Part one of the session began at 10:10 and ended at 10:20. [...]

[...] Five men in a group and one woman. [...]

[...] My friend as referred to in the session is the one I plan to marry in September. [...]

(Ibelieve Janet was the one who is referred to in this note. [...]

[...] Not one. Also one son and four daughters.

I am going to give you some more material concerning our discussion of matter, but first I would like to make one comment.

We will now continue with a discussion that we have begun concerning the nature of matter, and bringing up in particular one point I wish to make clear.

[...] I am not the nervous one. [...]

[...] And a man or a woman who is aware of only one of his or her own egos will be considered an idiot, indeed. [...]

[...] It took courage to set yourself the particular problems that you did for this existence, otherwise you would have tackled so many at one time, so to speak. [...]

[...] Now you follow them but you (Rose) will not remember; and you (Sally) follow them sometimes; and you (Rachel) follow them sometimes; and you (Amelia) are beginning to put one foot upon the path; and you (Brad) have not as yet allowed yourself to remember any of your dream encounters. [...]

I do not need sweaters—I have no body to put one on (to Rachel knitting a sweater). [...]

[...] And a so-called future personality will step in and help you along your weary way, but also, your actions now can also affect the future personality as well as the past one. [...]

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

(During break Rachel Clayton asked if past, present and future are all one.)

([Rachel:] “In other words, the entity has many parts all helping to evolve as one?”)

At the risk of repeating myself, your in quotes “role” to one extent was restrictive in the sexual and emotional area; you were the one who drew the line. [...]

[...] You can put up with noncontact comparatively speaking far better than Ruburt, and will be the first one to draw the line here. As in the other areas mentioned, the more personal ones.

[...] This will put the concentration of attention in constructive areas, upon warmth and mutual understanding rather than putting the burden of the relationship first on one and then on the other.

[...] It should be flexible enough now for both of you, and not the formation of one rigid point. [...]

On their return home the code of behavior changed back to one suited to civilian life, and they clamped down upon themselves again as hard as they could. [...]

[...] (I, Robert Butts, was one of the believers.) The lie did not become truth but it became more nearly so, for despite their failures the ex-servicemen managed to bring up children who would not go to war willingly, who would question its premise.

In an odd way this made it even more difficult for those who did go into the next two, less extensive wars, for the country was not behind either one. [...]

[...] One animal or the other would simply back down. [...]

[...] The word ‘truth’ is a heavy one, and the more times it is repeated the more distant and inaccessible it seems. [...] I consider myself an exuberant psychological explorer, finding myself, at my own request, happily set adrift among universes, able to shout with a loud hearty voice from the hypothetical shore of one to another, news of what I have found and am still finding.”

[...] It is not just that thoughts influence the body, as of course they do; but each one of them represents a triggering stimulus, bringing about hormonal changes and altering the entire physical situation at any given time.

[...] After discussing several other matters, Seth ended the session at 10:05 P.M. One of those “other matters,” however, led to Note 1.)

[...] Jane had come up with that one, stressing her personal reactions. [...]

[...] No one can be adequately (underlined) helped in one or two sessions, and it is not his responsibility, or mine, to answer personally the millions of people who need help, or even the relatively few who write him.

Ruburt’s personality is not one that can be held down to specific instances, but (is one) to evolve theories that can be used by many.

[...] True.) The idea of mobility in one direction, and of moving, would cause all of your other ideas to move.

(I was quite surprised the other day when Jane told me that our two apartments were okay to her if she was a writer, but not all right for a psychic—especially one who was becoming well known and was visited by all kinds of people, etc. [...]

[...] To you it would appear that the life was a past one, finished. [...] You follow a one-line pattern of history, pursuing certain actions as reality and identifying with these so completely that they are all you perceive. Other probable actions are always occurring, however, and are quite as valid as the ones which you happen to choose and thus experience.

[...] When you think in terms of reincarnation it seems that one tracing exists before the other, but the entire “chart” exists at once, with all the individual life-tracings.

[...] If you see these reincarnational selves as one entity, then this becomes quite natural. [...]

[...] These too serve as practical ideals, but in a different kind of context, for you have other centuries to play with and many existences instead of one.

One symbol will be meaningful to many portions of the personality. [...] In the breaking-down process the intensities are separated into the most minute values, each value an electrical impulse representing any one of many references. [...]

(Due to the work involved in hanging my first one-man show of paintings, at Harris Hill Inn, last night’s regularly scheduled session was not held.

It is also constant, but simultaneous, and not continuous in terms of one event following the other.

It is for this reason that such a rich diversity in such symbols is possible, and it is for this reason that one symbol can have various meanings to different levels of the personality. [...]

When I speak of the electrical universe, indeed this represents but one more facet of reality. But all of these universes are indeed one. [...]

[...] I now had at least one answer: Her body jumped in her chair, and her eyes popped open as though from shock. [...]

[...] In one sense anything that you can see or feel or touch is not real, and yet in another sense it is the nature of all reality.

[...] But your divisions do not affect the nature of these gestalts, as my discussion speaks of separate universes without affecting the nature of any universe one whit.

An eleven, or one one one designation. [...]

[...] So to speak, the last ones vanishing first you see. [...]

These portions operate almost like a secondary personality, sometimes in actual conflict with the dominant one. [...]

[...] They are now being erased, the latest ones the first to go.

(Smile.) You need not paint one neck with ten heads, but the one portrait can be made to suggest previous structures and characteristics that have merged to produce the present head. [...]

[...] And so the landscape, not one but many landscapes in one, for while it is unique in a given moment, still it is a composite in your terms of the pasts that have formed it, and the futures that act upon it even now.

In one way you are the steps leading up to yourself, or the spirals leading in to yourself. [...]

[...] When you have achieved this oneness with your own center, then you automatically free additional energy and vitality into your life.

[...] For one thing, while I realize the importance of specific terms, I do not want you as a reader to become so dependent upon terms that coming across one you have read before, you instantly categorize it. [...]

[...] All That Is disperses itself, therefore, so that it is on the one hand “a massive” subjective entity, a psychological structure—and on the other hand, it also disperses itself into the phenomenal world. [...] All That Is has no one image, but is within all images—and in parentheses: (whether or not they are manifest). [...]

(The first session in the Preface for Volume 1 of Dreams is a private one that Jane delivered on September 13, 1979. [...]

Remember, again, the manifest [universe] emerges from a subjective reality, one that is implied in the very nature of your world itself. [...]
