“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The suggestions seemed to be good ones. [...]

(Jane’s head did not remain still however, but began to tip to one side at times; then she would right it again while seemingly making efforts to speak. [...]

[...] “This is Blanche,” was one of the first things she said, after I had deliberately called her Jane for reassurance, while thinking she had probably made contact with Blanche, and was somewhat unpleasantly involved in a sickroom episode.

[...] One of my concerns when Jane asked me to speak to Seth at the beginning of the session, was whether my speaking would bring on a regular Seth session, but this didn’t develop; and the method gave us both confidence for like experiments in the future. [...]

[...] Your physical reality is but one materialization of that inner organization. [...]

[...] I am emphasizing this dream connection, however, because the dream state is one familiar to each reader, and it represents your closest touchstone to the kind of subjective reality from which your physical world emerges. [...]

[...] They coexist with your own, and they are all in one way or another connected.

Each one carries hints and clues about the others. [...]

[...] Our perception allows us to tune into the particular fantasies that you perceive as one indivisible reality. [...] The small portion that you perceive is but one letter on a page. [...]

You have all been exercising your inner sense to one degree or another. You are to forget the idea that what you see physically is the only reality, and that what only one perceived must be an hallucination if it is not perceived by the others. [...]

[...] When some of you then begin to focus upon different points, then there is great confusion ...for it seems to you that one set of data must be right, and if this set is right then all other sets must be wrong or fantasy. [...]

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

There are several major root assumptions and many minor ones.

[...] One: Energy and action are basically the same, although neither must necessarily apply to physical motion.

[...] Yet you may be suddenly perceiving the street, and the field that existed before it, and the images may be transposed one upon the other.

[...] (Pause.) Jane shouted but no one was near. [...]

[...] Or my error re one of them—or both?) 9 years old. [...]

[...] The sister, who is your present mother, married one of the cousins and moved to France. [...]

(“Have we, or either one of us, had any other experiences with similar projections?”

[...] No one, and no one thought, is that powerful. [...]

One of the strongest general causes of depression, for example, is the belief that your conscious mind is powerless either in the face of exterior circumstances thrust upon you from without, or before strong emotional events that seem to be overwhelming from within.

Psychology, religion, science — in one way or another, all of these have added to the confusion by stripping the conscious mind of its directing qualities, and viewing it as a stepchild of the self. [...]

[...] But in one way or another objectify them.

Now the last dream looks for the causes behind the situation, and the main key to it is the needle symbol, which on the one hand is a symbol for the penis. But it is not a phallic symbol, which has wider and deeper symbolic and racial implications than this one.

(I then realized that I could go over the edge of the roof at the corner, where there was a drainpipe to use as a handhold, then reach down and save him by lifting him back up with one hand. [...]

(I believe that my own feeling was one of sadness that I wouldn’t be with her, more than anything else in the dream. [...]

[...] Now this is on one level, and for a few moments we shall speak about the dreams on this level only.

His intellect is a fine one, and should have no quarrel at all with our sessions. [...] But the picture of a white-robed spirit, with those connotations, is not one I have given him.

[...] This is perhaps one of the most important sentences in this evening’s session.

One of the main reasons for this was the old rigid childhood concepts, which were rearoused by his reading, not by our sessions. [...]

(“Which books are you referring to—recent ones that he’s been reading?”)

[...] This is one of the reasons why some projections are so confusing, particularly when the ego is taken along for the ride. [...]

[...] I should end the session here, and leave you with that one, but I will explain what I mean.

[...] The trance had been a deep one but Jane emerged easily. [...]

[...] One mountain we climbed from the stream bed to its summit was several hundred feet high, and steep, etc.)

[...] No one asked Seth to do so and, of course, all this time he was speaking through me in this voice of his. I think, though now it is difficult to recall, that I saw one rather long continuous blackboard, perhaps nearly across one whole wall. [...]

[...] One possibility here is that I do the projecting while Seth controls the physical body and uses the vocal cords to speak and to give verbal expression. [...]

[...] I mopped some of it before the old mop went to pieces, so I must buy a new one. [...]

[...] Her temperature is normal, and she’s down to the one antibiotic, Bactrim. [...]

You and Ruburt have had the feeling many times — but what we are trying to do is change over completely from one mode of operation to another, and to construct, say, new inner blocks of meaning that will give rise to the next era.

(Long pause at 4:44.) What you are involved in then is really, of course, a completely new educational procedure, so that you are at least able to distinguish one style of thought from another, and therefore be freer to make choices.

[...] The geese looked very vulnerable against the massive roll of the earth beneath them, but this was an illusion: Like every other entity on earth, each one of those birds knew very well what it was doing. [...]

I finished typing last Monday night’s session a few minutes before we sat for this one, and Jane just had time to read it before she felt Seth around: “Okay, I’m ready….”)

(Pause, one of many.) Even though this book is being dictated within time’s tradition, therefore, I must remind you that basically (underlined) that tradition is not mine—and more, basically (underlined), it is not yours either.

(At 8:55 PM Jane was still sitting out on the front steps; it had been a very hot day, and a busy one for us. [...]

When we get to that discussion it will be a major one, like the material on material, and some of the discussion about matter will be used as background. [...]

[...] They do not however have to be picked up directly from one mind, that is, there does not have to be direct communication.

I am not going to hold a full session because of the extra one. [...]

[...] In the 152nd session he stated: “The whole self of which Ruburt is a part is an extremely elastic one. [...] Through one of these, Seth added in a very simplified explanation, he could enter within the limits of Jane’s “psychic comprehension.”

[...] Abilities focused upon in one life may be recognized as your own now, for example, but not strongly utilized.

[...] In its own way, the twenty-four hour period represents both an entire lifetime and many lives in one. [...]

[...] “That was one of the few times in all of these sessions,” Jane said, “when I was not even in trance.” [...]

Identities are never constant, as you yourselves are not the same consciously or unconsciously from one moment to another. [...]

I will add a word here, only to remind you once more to read those sessions regarding inner vitality and the initial appearance of physical matter, for that discussion will help you with this one.

[...] It is a state of perception she hadn’t attained before, perhaps until as recently as the last session and this one.

[...] And here we have also the reason, or one of the reasons why, inner vitality can never achieve complete materialization. [...]

[...] That is one of the reasons that he seeks what you call offbeat positions, but he has made progress in this line, and should continue to do so. At one time only a freelance selling position, you see, would have been an acceptable compromise.

As one of you mentioned earlier the windows should be thrown open and the rooms thoroughly aired. [...]

The ideas initiated this evening are good ones. [...]

[...] His book was a good one and he was proud of it. [...]

I get quite carried away for one thing, and our material has been coming over so well that I quite forgot that a rest period has been due. [...]

[...] There may be the possibility, if you request it, of one session off during the Christmas holidays, but only at your request.

[...] It would be quite difficult for me to let you go completely for one whole week. [...]

I should certainly get a present of some sort, or perhaps I should give you one. [...]

[...] In one regard, this is a projection from a molecular standpoint. What is not understood is that worlds exist between one molecule and another, and worlds that you do not understand. [...]

[...] There are dimensions in which you are completely incapable, and if through some molecular disturbance you fell into one of these it is possible that you could not find your way back. [...]

Very vaguely indeed, this could be compared to a voice from one station suddenly being captured by another. [...]

[...] The drugs now given allow experience in one main direction only. [...]

[...] We’d found it to be an exceedingly difficult one for a number of reasons. [...] Jane herself was displaying a stoicism (I’m afraid to write “acceptance”) regarding her condition that I’d have found unendurable were I the one experiencing it. [...] For now I understood that freedom of motion was at least one true reflection of an individual’s creative potential.

[...] There was no doubt as far as I was concerned that every one of our standard explanations for life (pause) were relatively useless now, regardless of how much they might have helped or hindered us in the past.

[...] I, for one, was afraid that such an arrangement would not only demonstrate our acceptance of the fact that Jane was really caught in a terrible, permanent situation, but that it would end up destroying us psychologically and creatively.

[...] Since you have already been through one monologue this evening (humorously), I will not keep you overlong with mine.

[...] When you do not respond in this manner the annoyance builds up and you are then tempted to respond to one incident as if many were involved, because the others were not responded to adequately at the time.

When reactions seem emotionally out of proportion to one event then it is usually because of inadequate reactions to the same kind of event in the past. [...]

[...] It is only when you overload the nervous system by such repressed action that it then begins a cycle of overreaction to what seems to be one event.
