“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Tell Ruburt I will begin book dictation again at our next session, including the material on “better and better pills.”

[...] I thought that tomorrow we could do something about that, then realized that Jim Baker, our optometrist, was due after 2:00 p.m. to deliver the two new pair of glasses he’d examined Jane for some time ago. [...]

(Just as I turned Jane on her side after the session, our neighbor Joe Bumbalo — who is very ill with cancer — called to invite me to share Chinese food and rhubarb pie with him and his wife, Margaret. [...]

Ever since she began studying Jane’s work fourteen years ago, my companion, Laurel Lee Davies, has been very conscious of the conflict between the rationalistic dominance so common in our culture, and the potential for greater development that she sensed within herself. [...]

[...] That news is already invisibly censored, and yet we’re supposed to live our lives in accordance with that official definition of experience.

So far, metaphysics has only been entertainment, a step-science of our culture; part of the extended family of science for the purposes of inspiration and ideas, but not given credit as scientific truth. [...]

(Sue Watkins has offered to help with the mail, but I don’t know what to do —guess I’m afraid that once it’s out of our house and hands the situation would turn into a mess. [...] One option we’ve considered is having a temporary postcard printed up referring to our hassles with Jane’s illness, that we can’t answer mail at this time except to say thanks, and that later we may be able to. I think that at the moment that’s our best way to go, even if it means broadcasting the fact of Jane’s troubles. [...]

(Yesterday marked the beginning of Jane’s third week home from the hospital, and lately I’ve been trying to gently encourage her to begin a series of private sessions in an effort to learn what we can about the whole hospital-health-establishment belief system, and our part in it through and with the Seth material. [...]

(The contradictory thing was, as I’d told her the other day, that I didn’t think we were going to get anywhere in solving our dilemmas until we tapped into the session routine again. [...]

(Tam Mossman and his fiancée Eve had been our guests over the past weekend, May 2—4; he had heartily approved the work Jane has completed on the Seth book and we thought that this belief might have something to do with Jane’s very relaxed state. [...]

[...] If our friend feels fully productive, exuberant and free to use his abilities, then he will be entirely healthy. [...]

Now if you will touch him affectionately, or speak in such a manner, when the two of you first awaken, this gentle reminder of our love and affection will be of great help. [...]

[...] For many months now our bed has been in an east-west position.)

(Once again the session was held in our quiet back room. [...]

We will take advantage of it by furthering several of our discussions.

[...] Our study of the dream state will take us into many other discussions, for you will learn much about the nature of uncamouflaged reality.

(We thought our feeling tired nothing unusual, nor had we been concerned at any effect the weather might have upon us. [...]

[...] It may very well be time to do something else with the balance of our lives. [...] I’ve felt that way for some time, now—that our understanding of what human beings are is minute at best. [...] Learning about our abilities and capabilities is a social and cultural affair, and you—anyone—need help. [...]

[...] The hearing trouble, a recent development comparatively, has already cut down on our mutual communication, for almost automatically I’ve stopped speaking to her unless we’re facing one another; and then I often have to repeat myself, so that our conversation becomes more episodic and the easy exchange is lost. [...]

[...] They will be something of a hodgepodge, not always in chronological order, and are intended only to summarize our discussion before the session.

[...] I saw that our conversation was taking up much more time before the session than I wanted to spend—but then I’d known it would, I suppose. [...]

Our own material has hinted in these directions very strongly. [...]

[...] You have both occasionally learned to take our waking consciousness into the dream state, and here Fox is correct, for you must start at this point.

When you reach adulthood, following our analogy, then you will learn to be successful in manipulating dream reality as you now manipulate objective reality. [...]

[...] However you had better take your break for our Instream material.

[...] At this time, in view of our own experiences, I seriously doubted that very many individuals in our reality were truly ready or equipped to handle such developments without a great struggle—chosen or no. [...]

[...] Creativity as you understand it is the three-dimensional aspect then of greater abilities that belong to our consciousness innately, whether it is consciously materialized or not (period).

[...] “It’s like you’ve been through a training period you didn’t even know you were going through—and now, in our terms,” she said with surprise, “it’s taken all that time. [...]

[...] You held back from many of the experiences that you could yourself encounter, and you are now ready to begin an acceleration of our own that will be largely interpreted through your work, if you allow it.

[...] I’d typed a letter to our lawyer, regarding our taxes, and mailed it this noon. [...]

(Next, Jane said she was trying to find a radio and recorder here at our hill house in Elmira so that Sue Watkins, who lives an hour’s drive to the north, could borrow it. [...]

[...] I laughed, telling her her behavior reminded me of our cats this morning, when it was so cold: Both Billy and Mitzi had barely stepped out onto the picnic table from the kitchen window, when they reversed themselves and hopped right back into the house. [...]

[...] Asks our friend for help. [...] Our friend leaves the monastery without leave. [...] However, I suggest a rest in pure sympathy for our notetaker.)

([Gene]: “Could you tell us something about ours?”)

(I described my dream of the other day, which I’d already told Jane about: I’d been sitting on our couch with Jane and our neighbor, Joe Bumbalo. [...]

[...] Within the context of our society, it’s extreme …”

(I told Jane I didn’t expect that anybody was going to give us a million, but I did think it was a dream that meant well for our future …)

[...] In midlife you were presented with our sessions — or [the two of] you presented yourselves with them, if you prefer. You recognized the overall vitality of our material (long pause) — but again, you did not realize that it meant a complete reorientation of your attitudes. [...]

[...] Toward the end of our present book (Dreams), we will be discussing how our ideas can be applied by the individual in terms of value fulfillment, so that individuals can begin to reclaim those dimensions of experience that are indeed your rightful heritage.

[...] They will also be indirectly a help in our sessions.

Now, give us a moment, please, and we shall give our Instream material now. [...]

(Long pause.)I hope to finish our book regardless of your publishing plans and so forth, and at this general point that will be beneficial to our friend as he sees some daily accomplishment made in that area. [...]

[...] Our material on such points is not fiction. [...]

[...] You have worked so hard recording our sessions. [...]

[...] And, to some extent, our friend over here is correct in that you can use sensitivity sessions themselves as simply another mask, in which case you never show yourself. [...]

Now, you (to Garrett) had your strongest sense of immediacy with our friend over here, and he encountered each of you according to his own light, at the moment, as he met you. [...]

[...] With our method it is recognized, imaginatively plucked out as being undesirable, and replaced by the thought of peace and constructive energy.

[...] Last week’s poetry served to refresh his creative energies, and in commitment to the book and to our work, and with your prayer activities. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Do you have questions on our present discussion?

The following is for our friend.

[...] Our individual comes down with indigestion, or a headache. Lo and behold—for while everything seems so poorly, our friend’s life is being saved, for he misses his plane.

[...] Our friend wanted to live and had faith that he would. [...]

If our friend learned of the plane crash, he saw this only too well. [...]

[...] The small instance of Ruburt’s doing the dishes this morning is a case in point – and that emerged as the result of those abilities mentioned in our last session.

[...] Our original understanding was that the eye condition would pass rather quickly once Jane began to loosen up—but now it appears to be another fixed state in the general scheme of our lives. [...]

(I was also puzzled about our problems because, as I told Jane before the session, I couldn’t see where as individuals we were doing anything so terribly wrong. [...] I concluded by saying that I did think we had plenty of insight into our own actions—far more than most people did —so why the extreme reactions?)

Forget ideas of good and evil for our discussion. [...]

[...] You have, far more than you realize, utilized our ideas in your daily lives, both to insure financial comfort—but more, to achieve the satisfaction that you are indeed reaching others, helping to change their lives for the better. [...]

The class sessions incidentally, served to keep the spontaneity available, for the spontaneity of our own sessions suffers when your own relationship is less than the both of you accept. [...] So that that flow does not dry up when it does not operate as fully as it ordinarily can in our own sessions, then it shoots up and appears in class sessions, as a precaution and simply because the fountainhead as such will not dry up, but seeks its natural release. [...]

[...] Excerpts from it, or references to it, may eventually be found in our Reincarnation notebook however.

I like our new environment, and I have some comments of a personal nature.

If you realize that unconsciously you both knew of our work from childhood and before, then some of your characteristics will fall into place like mosaic. [...]

You have noticed in our own work that oftentimes information will be perceived by Ruburt in terms of visual images. [...]

[...] All of our material follows from this, and any other information contained in the material follows and flows out of this primary statement.

You may take a break before our Instream material.

Now, our object. [...]
