“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session was held in apartment 4, across the hall from our living room. [...]

You also understand the nature of “truth” (in quotes) better than you did, and are beginning to allow it its mobility and ever-changing grace in your paintings and in our work.

[...] Our apartment was quite chilly in actuality, as it has often been since the June flood; both of us had been cold all day. [...]

[...] Now the tenant in the apartment above our living room began to play rock music very loudly, but Jane seemed undisturbed as she talked to me. [...]

[...] He has largely learned however to avoid this, particularly since our session that the feeling he is repressing is the problem, and if that is allowed release the physical aspects will vanish.

[...] He used some of our material as an excuse to further shove his fears beneath, overexaggerating certain remarks that I had made. [...]

[...] Most scientists believe they exist on the edge of our observable universe. [...]

[...] Some of these occasions occurred fairly early in our sessions, when Ruburt was worried about spontaneous trances, so after making my presence known to him, I acquiesced to his decision at the time. [...]

[...] As I told Jane at our first break, the knowledge that time is actually simultaneous is sometimes confounding when one asks certain types of questions; this knowledge half answers the question, yet we want the rest of the question considered.)

We will save that for our religious chapter. [...]

(“Well, I know you said in the last session [just before 10:33] that from her nonphysical reality my mother isn’t trying to coerce Jane and me into buying Mr. Markle’s house — yet I keep wondering what others will think about the idea of influence being felt in our reality from ‘the other side,’ you might say — ”)

[...] She is quite aware, therefore, of his decision not to buy the [Markle] house.⁵ In her level of reality, she was aware of the fact that Joseph wanted the house strongly; that one portion of him thought of possessing a large home, even though this would require upkeep and attention that another part of him did not want to provide because he felt it would take too much time from his painting and our work.

[...] Granted that Seth’s material may “only” be bringing into our conscious awareness knowledge we already possess and use on other levels, still it’s a fine thing that his material makes us aware of that inner comprehension — and so new dimensions of consciousness become available to us. [...]

[...] This little affair is a typical example of how something good can get lost in the constantly growing mass of Seth material; even with our attempts at indexing, it’s very difficult to keep track of single paragraphs like this:

[...] At one of our favorite spots we met the Gallaghers, Bill and Peggy. It ended up that the four of us returned to our apartment by about 11:15 PM. [...]

[...] Jane and I sat facing each other with the board on our laps, hands on the pointer but asking no questions. [...]

[...] This was also our longest answer so far.

[...] This morning I finished the final statements for our 1983 taxes. [...]

[...] I plan to send their proposal and letter to Lynne Lumsden, our editor at Prentice-Hall.

(10:38.) Now: for our friend....

[...] We don’t know of anyone in our personal circle who has recently died, for instance, or who is close to death as far as we can tell.)

7. Just a week ago, in the 686th session, I asked Seth to comment on our ancient origins, but without getting an answer. At this writing, then, we still don’t know what period in our past he’s referring to. [...]

3. This little note fits in here for two reasons: Jane’s pause, and Seth’s discussion of our kind of time. [...]

[...] And last night, as usual, she’d had some dreams bearing upon our currents efforts to help her. [...]

(Our raccoon friends were stirring in the fireplace behind me. [...]

You will find that we have gone somewhat ahead this evening in our material. [...]

My most dear friends, I will now close our session, and may I say to Ruburt, if he will let me: Be of good cheer, for there are lights where you think there is darkness. [...]

Now this material has important psychological implications that I will follow up, and it is also connected with our material on perception. [...] Our Jesuit will not see the problem, even to that extent, and so it is buried even physically within him.

Your attitudes before—and after—our last session, about Ruburt’s condition, can be equated however with precisely such uncreative and cowed frames of mind. [...]

[...] In the past his doubts about his body have greatly outweighed his self-confidence, and that is the reason for this material and that given in our last session.

[...] During break I made several remarks about the poor quality of the pen I was trying to take notes with, and of our difficulties lately finding the brand pen we had been used to using, and which worked so well. [...]

(“Why did our landlord sell this house?”)

(1. Seth’s reference, after 9:27 in the 697th session, to our race as “a conscious species. “I wanted to get his comments as to how, in our terms at least, we could be in a state other than a “conscious” one. [...]
