“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Obviously, then, the affected individual was thought to be speaking for God when he gave orders or directives. [...]

Again, however, even in far simpler cases, the constructive personage will often make predictions that, incidentally, do not predict — and almost always give orders and directives that are to be followed without question.

(“Impulses have a life-serving, life-promoting, creative basis, and possess a spontaneous order—though as we will see, that order may not be immediately apparent since the orderly pattern is larger than our conscious span of events.” [...]

(“The authority of the self has been eroded by religion, science, and psychology itself, so that impulses are equated with anti-social behavior, considered synonymous with it, or with individual expression at the expense of social order.”

[...] I stopped at the bank to buy a check and a money order for Blue Cross and the monthly hospital payment on our old bill. [...]

[...] He understands so little about the eyes’ operation to begin with, that he does not bother to figure out, or try to figure out, the order that such improvements should take, or how they should happen.

It is a good idea for now not to concentrate upon that leg, or what it must do eventually in order for walking to take place. [...]

[...] Spontaneity knows its own order.

[...] He equated, again, the writer or poet as highly gifted but emotionally not stable, so that he thought he had to set himself against his own nature in order to produce.

[...] He felt he needed financial freedom in order to work, but in those terms work was equated with the Protestant work ethics, where spontaneity was frowned upon. [...]

I want Ruburt, again, to encourage spontaneity in all areas, and to trust that the spontaneity is the result of quite orderly sequences in Framework 2, and of larger patterns of creativity that are not yet consciously apparent. [...]

[...] In order to explore that experience, you direct your attention to it and use all of your other (nonphysical) abilities as corollaries, adjuncts, additions. [...]

[...] A change of wording may be in order. [...]

“Wonderworks — inner experiences just beneath usual consciousness — contain different orders of events.¹ Literally the stuff of all creativity (in miniature).

“Other species of consciousness gain their experience at different ‘levels’; often we encounter such consciousnesses in the dream state, then interpret their actions in the wrong order of events … according to our own camouflage³ system … Our bodies are the focuses for only the physical part of our consciousnesses … My latest dreams are giving me a picture of the nonphysical inner wonderworks …”

[...] The staff people had had a lunch of chicken wings and pizza, which I’d told them to order, treat on me. [...]

[...] As I have said many times, spontaneity knows its own order. [...]

[...] “But the publisher would want it organized according to subject matter, or presented in some orderly way,” I replied, whereupon she wrinkled her face at the work this might involve: “But you could do all that after we got the material....”

In those terms, the male-oriented intellect wants to order the universe, name its parts, and so forth. [...]

[...] When the passages were written, the species had come to various states of order, achieving certain powers and organizations, and it wanted to maintain the status quo. [...]

[...] But generally speaking high energy is needed in order to maintain overall stability, and in order that the ego is not overstrained. [...]

[...] It is not necessary, basically speaking, that you notice some small incongruous detail in order to realize while dreaming that you are dreaming. [...]

Do not insist that it be published in chronological order, in other words. Now, large portions of it will be published in chronological order, but not if you insist upon this now. (Pause.) It is in one way the natural order of the material, but also your own development was my beginning point. [...]

Thoughts of your own next birthday, for instance, may instantly lead you to think of past ones, or a series of birthday pictures may come to mind of your own twelfth birthday, your third, your seventh, in an order uniquely your own. That order will be determined by emotional associations — the same kind followed by the dreaming self.

Dictation: You experience yourself in a certain way topside, so to speak, and so in order to take advantage of information at other levels of awareness, you must learn to experience those other organizational systems with which you are usually unfamiliar.

[...] Often, however, your own stream of consciousness leads you to think of events outside of their usual order. [...]

[...] The police usually stand for discipline, the puppy stands for spontaneity, and that spontaneity and order are united. [...]

[...] I said I hoped Seth would go into my question of yesterday, about not wanting my own suggestions for Jane’s improvement to come into conflict with her body’s own innate and spontaneous order of healing itself. [...]

Now: you cannot really go wrong with your suggestions at this stage of the game, as long as you allow the body’s wisdom freedom, so that it automatically lets its own order predominate. [...]

[...] They can permit you to become acquainted with other inward orders of events, and the rich bed of probabilities from which your physical existence emerges.

[...] Healings can take place in the dream state, where events at another order of existence alter the cells themselves. [...]

4. Seth discussed the basic unpredictability from which significances arise in sessions 681–82, in Section 1. After break at 11:47 in the 681st session, he incorporated this line in his material: “From the ‘chaotic’ bed of your dreams springs your ordered daily organized action.”

[...] but that there were 10,000 back orders for Events, so I’d say that my dream probably gave me that indication, that something was held up. [...]

[...] This one began, generally speaking, when the species tried to step apart from nature in order to develop the unique kind of consciousness that is presently your own. [...]

Religious, scientific, medical, and cultural communications stress the existence of danger, minimize the purpose of the species or of any individual member of it, or see mankind as the one erratic, half-insane member of an otherwise orderly realm of nature. [...]

[...] I now have my dream notebook in full swing, and since I had more dreams on the order of the two already discussed by Seth, I had my dream notebook open on the table as session time approached, in case these dreams were used in the material.

I will not say that there was, simply in order to make the material appear more logical, since only appearances can be made logical because they deal with, that is appearances deal with, data that you are physically equipped to handle.

An effort is involved here, as concepts of rather complicated nature must be broken into words between us for the first time, and this involves a discrimination most difficult, in order that the most evocative phrases be used while taking care that as many distortions as possible be avoided in word translation.

You must know enough to speak nearly as an equal with your inner self in order to do this. [...]

[...] The conscious intellectual faculties had to realize what was operating in order that they themselves be fulfilled. [...]

[...] It seemed obvious that Seth used this extreme in order to get the material through tonight without distortion. [...]

(Seth-Jane’s delivery soon had me writing along at a very brisk pace in order to keep up.)

[...] They pass beneath your notice simply because they do not fit the ordered sequence with which you are familiar. [...] They make no sense, particularly in the ordered scheme of reality generally recognized.

[...] In certain terms his mother will feel vindicated if Joseph buys that house, but the choice is still his and Ruburt’s. If you pay more attention to what you think of as coincidences, you will discover another kind of order that underlies the recognized order you follow. [...]

The neurologically unrecognized orders can show themselves once you recognize their reality. [...]

[...] As you began to bring your own physical reality into harder, clearer focus, you stopped with your own view of human consciousness, shutting off completely and rather arbitrarily those other elements in order to more clearly frame and define the boundaries of physical order. [...]

(Long pause.) The entire picture of physical life as you understand it must be of course experienced from your own viewpoint, but its complexity, its order and magnificence of structure and design should be understood as composing but one example of the infinite number of realities, each constructed by the propensities and characteristics of its own nature and the nature of its own consciousness.

[...] Scientists do not know how many species exist on earth—only that they total in the billions.) If you read it sideways, so to speak, you would still end up with an orderly universe, but one in which the nature of identity would be read completely differently, stressing adjacent subjective communications of a conscious kind that form other kinds or patterns of subjectivity and psychological continuity.
