“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] This afternoon I both heard and saw them, and called them to Jane’s attention—a wide, straggling, shifting, V-shaped flight vanishing over the valley holding the city just below us. [...]

[...] I hope that in other portions of this book certain mental exercises will allow you to leap over the tradition of time’s framework and sense with the united intellect and intuitions your own individual part in a spacious present that is large enough to contain all of time’s segments.

[...] But I did go over the whole story with Jane to some extent, so she’d know what I was concerned about. [...]

[...] I’d been concerned about my stewing over insurance, for I didn’t want to draw negative probabilities to us. [...]

[...] Of course, there has to be a physical cutting-off point somewhere along the line— but even then, I said, we may move into another life and begin all over in those terms. [...]

[...] I didn’t really mean it, since we’d thought sessions were over for the week on Thursday. [...]

[...] And I thought that years ago, [and with my own unwitting cooperation] Jane had given over control of her life in certain large ways to the Sinful Self through the symptoms—and yes, abjectly allowed it to exert such power and influence that now she finally found herself in the grip of a strong force, or set of beliefs. [...]

[...] It represents what is left over of Ruburt’s questioning and doubts, those unresolved areas that were emotionally charged not only because of, say, Church doctrine, but intensified because of emotional episodes with his mother, or other such issues. [...]

[...] That kind of situation will soon be over, for it is a reaction —quite natural—on the first reopening of that door into past feelings. [...]

[...] He counted its humiliations over and over in his mind, until his mind became an almost completely closed environment, in which only certain ideas were allowed entry.

(It’s almost as though there’s an unspoken agreement among Jane, Seth and me — but starting with the 846th session, which was held over a month ago [on April 4], Seth has been dictating material for Mass Events on Wednesday evenings only.)

[...] And while in the Jewish books [of The Old Testament] Jehovah now and then came through with great majesty to save his chosen people, he also allowed them to suffer great indignities over long periods of time, seeming to save them only at the last moment — and this time, so it seemed, he did not save them at all. [...]

[...] A certain amount of time spent assembling a certain product, performing the same motions over and over on an assembly line, will at the end of a certain period give you a certain number of assembled items. [...]

(After supper we discussed various attitudes about work, art, writing, and other subjects that we’d held over the years. [...]

[...] You both made many artificial divisions there, but over the years you became determined, both of you, to spend as much or more time at your work as our hypothetical working man in the factory.

You have used your own abilities, both of you, and done well with them despite your overly protective attitudes toward them, and despite methods you used, Ruburt in particular, to insure their use. [...]

[...] Ideally, sleeping five hours at a time, you gain the maximum benefit, and anything else over this time is not nearly as helpful. [...]

[...] In many cases it is too great a strain on the part of the returning consciousness to take over again the ailing mechanism.

[...] I want to make it plain, however, that anything over a six- to eight-hour continuous sleeping period works against you, and a ten-hour period for example can be quite disadvantageous. [...]

[...] Excess nervous energy takes over, and rouses the muscles to activity, because the body knows it has been inactive for too long and otherwise severe muscular cramps would result.

[...] He does not have to bend over more at certain stages to maintain balance, as has been suggested, and he has followed those suggestions except for the back. He has bent over, in other words. [...]

[...] This session will rid him of some debris, hanging over. [...]

1st life overly worldly.

Overly compensate now.

(“Frank Watts, do you have authority over you now?”)

I have also discussed reincarnation in terms of environment because many schools of thought over-emphasize the effects of reincarnational existences, so that often they explain present-life circumstances as a result of rigid and uncompromising patterns determined in a “past” life. You will feel relatively incompetent to handle present physical reality, to alter your environment, to affect and change your world, if you feel that you are at the mercy of conditions over which you have no control.

I had the feeling of something very heavy hanging over me. Was this to be translated into an object like, say, a heavy roof over my head, or to an emotional feeling that “hung over me”? [...]

[...] Then, with my eyes closed, I picked up the section from which the object had been taken, groped over to a floor-to-ceiling bookcase, and placed it on a high shelf where I would not see it.

[...] After the experiment was over, Jane opened the envelopes containing the test object; then I went back to the studio, and from the hidden section I picked out the page from which the object had been torn. [...]

For a minute this data stumped us when we went over the test results. [...]

(One section of the session was missed by me entirely, since I had left the house thinking the session over. [...]

(Seth’s remark stemmed from the fact that Jane’s hair was continually falling over her forehead and eyes; she had taken to brushing it back often; usually her glasses would keep the hair out of her eyes, but as a rule she doesn’t wear glasses in trance.)

[...] I have worked very hard to help Ruburt condition himself to provide for the material’s integrity and cut down on distortions (Smile:) I would be appalled at going through that all over again.

[...] The brawl being over a woman. [...]

[...] It then became evident that a lot of her poor feelings lately have been connected to worries over work, what Prentice-Hall would or wouldn’t publish, etc.—an old reaction that I should have been more prepared for, I guess, but had lost sight of in our day-to-day hassles. “My body seems to be getting softer all over,” she said. [...]

[...] I thought she was charged-up enough over the letter to have a session. [...]

[...] My own reaction to the events in our lives over the years was that consciously we had reached limits, and that it was beholden upon the rest of the personality—Jane’s especially—that it recognize this and back off enough from its own goals so that the physical body could recover, at least enough to ensure survival and a working life in which it could deal with life’s daily goals, and arts, too. [...]

[...] Instead they seek to perpetuate their existence as surely as any other living organism does, and in certain senses come to appear to be irrational, in that they seem unable to understand that certain beneficial changes would perpetuate their own lives as well as that of their host, whom they are damaging overly much. [...]

[...] However there is no rule, then, saying that the reincarnating personality must take over the new form prepared for it either at the point of conception, in the very earliest months of the fetus’s growth, or even at the point of birth.

At birth, all of this is suddenly over, and [new] stimuli [are] introduced with a rapidity that the body consciousness has never to that point experienced.

(10:30.) On the other hand, if the personality finds that it has so over-identified with its present sex that its individuality is deeply threatened, then it may also bring to the fore the opposite picture, going so far as to identify again with a past personality of the opposite sex.

The hold of the personality over the body is tenuous in the early years, and grows stronger. [...]

[...] We went over the material on their return, but some time has passed now before they found time to go over it in detail. [...]

Over a period of time, then, certain portions of the body will habitually respond in any given overall positive or negative way. [...]

He should read over, however, some old sessions, given on work and spontaneity. [...]

[...] It is not time for them to appear as yet in the book proper, but any material not handled in normal conscious life, not grappled with, if it becomes overcharged or lasts over a period of time, will be unconsciously expressed. [...]

A good relationship between you frees repressed emotion on both of your parts, which then pours over into your work and illuminates all of your interior and exterior landscapes both symbolically and literally.

(The day was warm—over 45—and sunny. [...]

[...] His positive approach to the tape-business deal with Steve and Tracy answered some of our own questions, as well as those concerning possible conflicts over tape ownership. [...]

[...] It had featured the explosive growth of fire ants, up from Brazil in the 1930’s, and now threatening to spread over most of the United States. [...]

(Long pauses.) You do not have to worry in an overly strained way about putting the new principles of life into practical experience at once. You do not need to worry or deride yourselves for stupidity if it appears (very long pause, eyes closed, at 9:04), looking over the long annals of work that we have done together, that it should have been obvious that our ideas were leading in certain directions—for not only have I been trying to divest you of official ideas, but to prepare you for the acceptance of a new version of reality: A version that could be described in many fashions. [...]

[...] (Over a one-minute pause.) It is impossible for you to operate without beliefs in your present mode of existence (another minute), “for beyond” those glittering packages of beliefs, however, there exists the vast reservoir of sensation itself, the land that does indeed exist “beyond beliefs.” [...]

[...] I didn’t feel like hanging around the house until 9:45 — the service was at 10:00 — so I told Margaret Bumbalo I’d run down to the hospital to see Jane first, then walk over. [...]

(It was all part of the ritual, Jane said later as we went over the booklet together in 330. [...]

[...] Jane and I went over the booklet of burial rites after lunch. [...]

Our Lady from Venice over here is filled with questions that she would ask you. [...]

[...] I am speaking to our young merchant from Venice over here. [...]

[...] You will know that the ability is within yourself and you have used it—then you may hit me over the head with your crutches and I will laugh!

[...] Do not your ideas already leap over the fences and the fields? [...]
