“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] One of them is that she may have associated punishment with physical motion — this idea stemming from her days at the Catholic home, where the youngsters were made to kneel for long periods of time as punishment for various “wrongs.” [...]

(At one time during breakfast when she became upset and panicky again, I repeated my use of suggestion/mild hypnosis as I had the other day. [...]

(One of the new nurses had her 20th birthday today. [...]

[...] In view of all of those early enjoyable events she’d had, I suggested she try focusing on them in times of stress, instead of the negative ones we usually talk about. [...]

[...] He was never imprisoned by believing that one personality existed within one form. [...]

Now some personalities from one system aid other personalities within other systems, but highly developed personalities, those in your terms so far advanced, will set for themselves the task of aiding an entire civilization; of assisting the development of a new system, and sometimes initiating the existence of that system.

You block out the realization of nontime, and accept your ideas of time along with the camouflage structure, for one is dependent upon the other. [...]

[...] (One minute pause.) You could not now navigate within such an environment. [...]

[...] You see him in but one stage of development. [...]

[...] There is one aspect here that I have not previously mentioned. [...]

[...] There are different kinds of creativity, then, to learn, and a specialization in energy is focus and feelings that emerge; elemental energy becoming conscious of itself, and aware of issues that did not exist for it earlier; millions of molecules momentarily united with the living consciousness (pause), filled with primal energy, now learning love, and forming highly sensitive psychic patterns, electrical charges that now form emotions instead of clouds; the innocent chaos of undifferentiated personality that exists behind the highly specified and truly sophisticated mechanism of one thought. [...]

This is some of the most important material that I have given you, for you have wondered about the purpose, and have been able often to see but one small speck of time and space.

[...] He can do one one day and one another if he chooses— but fifteen minutes minimum of any kind of exercising activity.

(Before the session I described to Jane my dream of Wednesday, December 6;and the second vision I had, of another painting, on the evening of Thursday November 30; the first painting vision being the one of Bill Gallagher on November 28,1967, and discussed by Seth in the 382rd session.

One has already been painted in this dimension in your future, I believe this is the first, mentioned somewhat earlier. [...]

[...] One is through exercise which flexes and moves the muscles so that they become relaxed. [...]

The “lovely young woman” phrase incidentally is an excellent one for him to use. (Jane was so addressed last night in ESP class by one of her students, a male.) He did idealize you in the early days of your relationship, and then made the transition that he mentioned. [...]

[...] Practically this is of great importance for it will help break the repressive habit on the one hand, and help end blockages that have been holding back positive and healthy charges of activity. You will be killing two birds with one stone.

[...] Looking at him, you can see that the condition, the problem, is a repressed one —the physical symptoms make this obvious. [...]

So in the beginning particularly you may be the one to take the initiative at times, for he may be reluctant, you see—a symptom of the habit. [...]

[...] I don’t believe that we can necessarily describe one in terms of another.

[...] Some people thought that I was trying to put Seth down, or deny them the aid of a super-being when at last they thought they’d found one.

[...] His existence may simply lie in a different order of events than the one we’re used to.

[...] Trying to define revelatory knowledge, or a Seth, in terms of our limited ideas about human personality is like trying to translate, say, a rose to the number 3, or trying to explain one in terms of the other.

(Long pause, one of many.) The challenges and problems of the species were different from those of others. [...] The more flexible mating pattern was one. [...]

[...] You are so used to one kind of explanation for childbirth, so familiar with one specific framework, that alternate explanations appear to be the height of nonsense. [...]

[...] A woman cannot father a child, nor can a male bear one. [...]

[...] Qualities of inventiveness, curiosity, ingenuity, could not be delegated to one sex alone. [...]

(“Did you know either one of us here on earth?”)

(“Can you give us the name of one of your children we might know?”)

(To date, this is one of but three answers Jane and I have received that seems to be gibberish. [...]

(“Which ones, then?”)

The atom is in itself a far more complicated system than you know, and in many aspects your own system is no more than one atom.

If you could go further however you would come, in one dimension, to matter again. [...]

I am speaking of one dimension only, for in other dimensions, and traveling through the same atom, you would come to kinds of matter with which you are not at all familiar, even in theory. [...]

Looking out at them, you view the future as much as you view the past, for as you know now, the future and the past are one, and all apparent separation or division is basically an illusion. [...]

(Drawing in the air, Seth-Jane finished the list, then told me that I was to place a second one, with its own heading, opposite the first. [...]

[...] Now: Another one of the same kind:

[...] Note that Seth would give a complete list under one heading, then match its components item by item with their opposites — no small feat, I would say, considering the number of issues involved. [...]

Your given situation at birth, therefore, is one in which you cannot manipulate adequately in whatever way you have chosen. [...]

[...] You cannot regenerate a limb, or grow a new one. [...]

[...] One personal note….

[...] —answered one of the key questions I had in mind. [...]

[...] It is one mansion of uppermost importance. [...]

(Of course, the advice to take Jane home was exactly what she wanted herself, so one could say a bit bluntly that she was merely saying what she consciously wanted. [...]

(“Five plus one.” There are two combinations of numbers containing five and one on the back of the object: M-1065 in the upper left corner, and 14905, the ZIP code on the lower right.

[...] The delays themselves are normal ones, indeed a part of the trade. [...]

[...] One does not exist without the other. [...]

[...] (Jane was now gesturing often with the envelope, though still mainly holding it horizontally.) Five plus one. [...]

[...] It was as though a light within her focused upon one small area. She saw grease or wax from a candle, falling upon one of the robes and staining it. In the stall there were long oval bundles of straw, stacked one upon another “to keep it dry, pretty high up to the roof. [...]

[...] And the higher one gets in power, the harder it is to hide such things from one’s self.

[...] Each had a special sound, and a family could tell by the sound of the bell their own donkey from innumerable similar ones.

[...] The bells on donkeys belonging to the Zealots had upon them the symbol of an eye (Jane, as Seth, pointed to one of her eyes). [...]

[...] That’s the best way to use suggestion, I said: keep the goal in mind and let the unconscious mind see to those healing details necessary to get one where one wants to go.

[...] If I had time I’d make a dummy of one to show Jane how it works, for it utilizes two pieces of embossed paper and messages to deliver its import. [...]

[...] I thought the dream very positive, and showed that Jane was shedding old beliefs and starting anew with new ones. [...]

[...] When Jane resumed the session she got one word out—her shortest session on record. [...]

We come here also to one of the other causes of the dreaming state, beside those of which we have spoken in the past. [...]

[...] Jane as Seth was talking about a sale of her work, which has not even yet taken place: “A woman might have something to do with one sale, through influence. [...]

[...] If one thought were held forever, no other thoughts would follow, no action would follow, and no identity. [...]

[...] I have just told you that one thought must terminate before another thought can appear. [...]

[...] You were changing from old attitudes to ones that would allow you to enjoy financial abundance, without feeling guilty on the one hand, or resentful on the other; to a concentration upon abundance rather that what money the government might take away from you. [...]

(This is the first session held since the deleted one for November 12. [...]

[...] Now with today’s adventure, and a brief previous one, all of a sudden it seems the picture has vastly improved. [...]

So, when you change one (smiling) certain area of your lives into Framework 2’s account, you do not spend any time worrying about the relatively little interest you received before. [...]

[...] One of the shocks mentioned had to do with a death; one with an incident shortly before her marriage; marriage itself was a shock, and the third one.

[...] It was a very successful one. [...]

The mental attitude, the deep and true mental attitude, of everyone involved, should be altered if possible to one that is more hopeful. [...]

[...] I believe at one time she worked in a five and dime store, or store of that type. [...]

[...] I want to note that I have faith that all will work out, that I’m not running from one hope to another while deserting previous ones.)

[...] In wintertime that town is one of the coldest spots in the country. [...]

(I thought the dream was another very positive one, and meant that Jane and I have left behind the old dead beliefs represented by Del. [...]

[...] They do not think in terms of impediments, and when one is encountered they simply regard it as a challenge to be overcome, and then forgotten. [...]

[...] “I don’t care whether we have a book session or one on something else,” Jane said as we sat for the session at 8:50. [...]

It is not quite as simple a matter as just deciding what events you want to materialize as reality, since you have, in your terms, a body of probabilities of one kind or another already established as the raw materials for the coming year. [...]

[...] Except for those you settle upon, all of the others will remain psychologically peripheral, in the background of your conscious experience—but all of those possible versions will be connected in one way or another.

(To me:) Your mother did not simply choose to believe, in her old age, in a different past than the one that was accepted by the family—she effectively changed probabilities. [...]
