“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

To some extent, however, dream events are like physical ones a good deal of the time. [...] Experience does become broader, but it changes in quality so that, for example, one moment in your terms of such experience would provide the working material for five years of dreams.

[...] Quite to my surprise, since typing isn’t one of her favorite activities, Jane announced that she’s going to help me type the final copy for Volume 1 — so each of us spent most of the day at our respective machines.

(9:49.) At the same time Aunt Sarah, unbeknown to you, might pick up a blue vase, one that you had just seen in your mind as belonging on a shelf in her living room. [...]

Actually the three sets of events could easily occur to the three people at once, and if no normal communication happened no one would be the wiser. [...]

[...] We focus our attention upon a certain group of events—the “present” ones—and then drop them into the subconscious where they seem to fall away and become distant. If we could keep our attention on these past events and still concentrate on the present ones simultaneously, then our sense of present time would be immeasurably enlarged.

Rob asked Seth once if he was always available to us for a session, and Seth’s answer shows clearly that we have more than a simple one-to-one relationship. [...]

[...] I don’t like the phrase for one thing, and for another, I think that this is too easy an answer. In accepting one solution, we may be closing our minds to others that lie beneath. [...]

We are aware of past, present, and future—a series of moments strung out, it seems, one before the other. [...]

[...] It bore typing and writing on one side only. Perhaps the folding, giving the impression of a layer of markings on more than one side, was confusing to Seth. [...]

[...] We think the data from one of the experiments reinforces that of the other.

[...] In the first experiment in the 179th session, Seth came through with one accurate impression. [...]

(There follows from her dream notebook Jane’s account of one of the dreams she had on Tuesday, May 10,1966: “This whole dream was in images. [...]

One involved spectacular color. I lay down to try a projection one Friday afternoon last January — my last projection experiment for the winter. [...]

The tangerine, then, would be compared to a group of many systems, yet it would represent in itself but one portion of an unperceived whole. The tangerine would be but one segment of a larger system. [...]

[...] If you find a girl in a bathing suit standing on a wintery street, for example, one or the other has to go. [...]

[...] One of the root agreements upon which physical reality is based is the assumption that objects have a reality independent of any subjective cause and that these objects, within definite specified limitations, are permanent.

[...] It was the one I had used. [...]

The ego is only one layer of the self that has self-consciousness. [...]

[...] I get the numbers one eight eight eight, in connection with this.

[...] When the time for the envelope experiment arrived, I then had the idea the envelope contained another object, one I had thought of earlier in the day. [...]

(In short, Jane, the right leg is evidently to play a central role in your recovery — not only a physical one, but a vital one concerning changes in belief about the whole thing. [...]

(Yesterday’s session was mainly on the Sasquatch phenomenon, triggered I imagine by the program In Search Of, and I’ll probably take time off from Dreams one morning to get it done. [...]

[...] Or those extremes when entire families suffer patterns of tragedy so whole numbers are wiped out at one time.

(Then she revealed that more and more she’s worrying about why the right leg looks so much shorter than the left one. [...]

(Later talking to Bill Gallagher: He and Pat Norelli stood at one side of the table, exerting strong pressure to force third leg to floor. Never did get it down. Before they did, one of the 2 legs already on the floor, opposite them, gave way. [...]

[...] I believe a 1938 illness for that one (Dick). [...]

[...] There is such energy in each one of you. [...]

[...] A severe crisis will develop by 1970, involving a woman with the initials A L, an extremely difficult situation,and one involving someone with the initials F W, having to do with a past association awakened.

First of all, I think you will find your present decision, Joseph, to be a good one—that is, your outside work compromise.

[...] He gave voice to several loud cries and finally succeeded in anchoring himself upon one of Jane’s legs. [...]

[...] I am rather surprised that Ruburt hit upon this one at this time, as it is usually a rather difficult ability to attain. [...]

[...] I am also in hopes that our next session will be a full one.

[...] The publisher, Ariston Verlag, is actually located in Geneva, Switzerland; German is one of the four national languages of that country.

[...] So inserting this material puts off by one — at least — Seth’s first session for Chapter 8 of Mass Events.

[...] Nor do I want to wait an indefinite time before he may incorporate similar information in a book — even this one. [...]

[...] That one sentence is (underlined) meaningful because of its organization of letters, or if it is spoken, its organization of vowels and syllables. [...]

(9:13.) Kubler-Ross does not believe as deeply in the existence of evil forces, but is convinced of the importance and necessity of suffering in one way or another as an important means of achieving a good end. (Long pause.) Because your world is built around a certain charged acceptance of beliefs so thoroughly, it usually seems as if reality as you perceive it is the one that must be inevitably perceived, while all others have the status of hallucinatory visions at the very best. [...]

(One-minute pause at 8:52.) I did want to make some comments about the Sinful Self in general, and how it is perceived and assimilated in say, Castaneda’s work and in the belief structure of Kubler-Ross. [...]

[...] It goes without saying that the framework is male-oriented —but even then the male is really no adequate male unless he becomes a warrior, and pushes himself to perform against the powers of darkness, on the one hand, and against sloth on the other. [...]

Overall, it is short-sighted to say that one kind of such perception is truer than the other or more or less factual than the other. [...]

[...] Five approaches to one place here, one central place (pause) of interest. [...]

[...] Our relationship will be a steady and enduring one. [...]

[...] The dashes indicate either two words used together, or one word separated by a silence in the middle.

[...] Unfortunately, for many reasons, he chose a hard road, rather than an easier one.

[...] There is one good benefit however: He rested the full amount specified (one hour) this time because he felt it necessary.

[...] It will be a short one considering, but a good one. [...]

[...] One point to our friend. [...]

[...] Now the present characteristics usually overshadow the past ones. [...]

[...] If he does not have his teeth out, he will probably lose two more that are very loose—but not for one or two years. [...] One tooth is in the back and probably would not bother him, since no one can see it anyhow. [...]

[...] The unlucky ones had to have them pulled, by the most torturous of processes. Lucky ones like Ruburt went on chomping merrily with the teeth that were kept, and with the gums between that became quite adequate for the necessary procedures.

Now: it may seem to most people that an exuberant, always-vital, energetic, healthy body would indeed be one of the greatest gifts of all—a body that never worried or showed signs of any disorder, a body that went ahead on its own, so to speak, propelled by feelings of strength and vigor. [...]

[...] It’s one of the very few times the pendulum didn’t help. [...]

I guess I think that all disease, to one extent or another, anyway, is fear (pause), and I felt a few minutes ago my neck doing some odd things. [...] And I visually and mentally saw the one in the back side of my neck that went down my neck and shoulder relax and straighten out, so that the blood began to go down easier and quicker. And I felt the same thing happening down toward the arms, and that there was one long tube in particular in my left arm that had been bent and twisted, like a portion of a rubber hose —and that also had to do with the release of wrist and elbow motion, and that that was releasing, getting straighter and unbending. [...]

[...] Dr. K. said this treatment had to be balanced against the added risk of infection of Jane’s one open bedsore on her coccyx, for the Persantine reduced the body’s ability to fight infection to some degree. [...] In other words, one would be better off not smoking. [...]

But at different time as it did so it would kink up in one corner and then another, and that that would cause a temporary impairment, such as happened in this one finger. [...]

(I made only one false turn driving to the emergency room at St. Joe’s, since we’d never been there before, but found the entrance easily. [...]

Before your marriage, you and he, _______, stood against the world in a relationship that you considered intimate and isolated, one of its kind. After your marriage, because of your interpretation and attitude, it seemed you became one of others, or two amongst many.

[...] Some of this can be immediately negated if you do one thing.

(Jane [Ruburt] said something to me on the tape about having a strong feeling of resistance on my part—as though in spite of all I said about wanting to have orgasm, I really didn’t want to—that it was a strong protective measure, as though my survival in one way depends on it.

There is something in here also having to do with your feelings about yourself as a rebel—as one who does not conform, who stands apart. [...]

The book jacket is indeed one to be proud of, and the book will be a book to be proud of. [...]

[...] One is the psychological book. [...]

[...] Several issues are involved: Ruburt’s own mood at the time, for one thing. [...]

[...] This is one of the keynotes of his personality, and rather obviously this has to do with his early life and his mother.

This does not mean that every one in your present acquaintanceship has been known to you, and it certainly does not imply a boring record played over and over again, for each encounter is a new one in its own way. [...]

[...] Let me tell you that he who hates an evil merely creates another one.

Then you are free, and the reaction is a good one. [...]

[...] The thoughts you think today will in one way or another become the fabric of your next existence. [...]

[...] She produced the first very short one, given below, yesterday. [...]

Dictation (quietly): To explore the unknown reality you must venture within your own psyche, travel inward through invisible roads as you journey outward on physical ones.

[...] It is automatically experienced in whatever form is familiar and natural to the one who holds it. [...]

(Pause, one of many, at 9:49.) There are levels within dreams, highly pertinent but mainly personal, in that they reflect your own private intents and purposes. [...]

[...] There is nothing to keep that kind of energy in one compartment only. [...]

(I added that Seth’s remark about using the same energy for healing that she’d used to produce Rembrandt was another excellent example of obvious insights—once one was aware of it. [...]

[...] I also noticed that the skin on her right elbow—the only one I could see—looked much more normal in texture and color than it had, as though a deeper rejuvenation was taking place; that transparent, fragile look was disappearing. [...]

(Jane told me this afternoon that she wasn’t uncomfortable after giving yesterday’s session—the first time she’s felt good following one. [...]

[...] One of the reasons why they have not been discovered is precisely because they are so cleverly camouflaged within all structures. Being just beyond the range of matter, having a structure but a nonphysical one, and being of a pulsating nature, they can expand or contract. [...]

I will try to clear this later, but the air is the result of these units’ existence, formed by the interrelationship of the units in their positions and relative distance one from the other, and by what you could call the relative velocity of their motion. [...]

(The rest of the session was devoted to Seth’s interpretation of one of my dreams—Robert Butts.)
