“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(And, of course, recording the thousands of pages of the Seth material in my meticulous way for over 20 years surely reflects a large portion of the Nebene psyche: keeping his own “purified” translations of ancient records.)

[...] Now at times his own overly-conscientious portions would agree quite heartily with Nebene’s dictates. [...]

[...] Ruburt therefore felt that you were accusing him again of a poor performance, and for other reasons also felt that in your eyes these faults took precedence over the book’s obvious merit. [...]

[...] He was certain that given the chance Ruburt would throw the sessions over gladly. [...]

[...] It (The “sinful self” May 10, 1982) is basically an overgrown and almost cancerous super-conscience that applied brakes in the past to some extent, and now has largely taken over.

[...] Since the old Ford—1955—was in the garage with gas tank trouble over the weekend, we were given a ride to Sayre and back from Elmira by the Crowders in their Cadillac. [...]

[...] The development of abilities and the ESP book represented an effort by the spontaneous self to express itself, for this other portion of the personality was ready then to take over, and it then retaliated with the beginning of symptoms.

[...] The overly conscientious self however is also the teacher, and in the classes the two elements do to some extent combine with some overall benefit. [...]

(After this session I went over the 3 previous Seth sessions with her, to reinforce all the good things they contain. [...]

[...] I still use the visionary technique I came up with when these sessions started: I envision a large sponge with which I go over her entire body, every inch of it, and soak up all the stiffness and pain and immobility. [...]

[...] They have healed over in those areas. [...]

[...] Now he is beginning to have some energy left over again, so to speak. [...]

[...] Her eyes closed, Jane sat quite still for over a minute.)

[...] (Long pause.) If you are over forty, for instance, you may tell yourself that age is meaningless, that you enjoy much younger people, that you think young thoughts. [...]

over repression’s frosty land,

and speeding over the countryside,

At once our Ruburt is like a porcupine, feeling trapped and prickling all over, eyes glaring, and attitude more prickly than a porcupine’s quills. [...]

[...] The brooding, resentful inner mulling over of gallery problems is a tip-off that the panic bomb has been set off. [...]

Privately, your director can see no reason why anyone who is educated cannot spell properly, but he has bent over backward not to give this impression. [...]

If he is not able to see himself at all times as a successful, earning writer, then he feels like a fool in other areas also, and is suddenly enraged over situations at the gallery which, while not the best, hardly bother him at all when he is selling his writing.

[...] Now Ruburt’s ego had been hit over the head, so to speak, so many times in his childhood that it became very sensitive, developing a rigidity out of self-protection.

Now regardless of the nature of our sessions, their legitimacy and my own reality, only certain peculiarly gifted personalities would be able to make consistent contact, to obtain such information over a period of time. [...]

[...] I was quite upset by the material given, even though we had already talked a lot of it over before the session. [...]

Legitimate response, legitimate aggressive—(It is interesting to note that Jane stumbled over the word aggressive, even speaking as Seth)—response, is no problem, for there is no buildup behind it. [...]

I told her to come over, and Rob came out from his studio to take notes. [...] The other personality took over rather completely, and Rob was actually concerned for my physical safety. [...]

[...] She and her husband were distraught, she said, and a friend of theirs, Ray Van Over, a parapsychologist in New York, had suggested she call me.

[...] It had been in the back of my mind all the time I talked to Ann Linden over the phone.

[...] Over wine they told us about their son. [...]

[...] Later we were to read that above paragraph over many times when—as you’ll see shortly—I found myself almost “in over my head.”

When the session was over, Rob and I sat up talking. [...] “When we have a usual Seth session, I sort of feel Seth take over, though I don’t like that term. [...]

[...] I got the feeling that a cone came down just over my head. [...]

[...] I think we were afraid that our regular Seth sessions were over, and that the new ones would take their place. [...]

[...] It may be a potential form like any potential object—a played-over-and-over-again record of a form.

[...] You gloss over what you do not understand.

(Following those items, I wanted Seth to comment on question 2, having to do with the good things we’ve accomplished over the years.

[...] Last Saturday I bought over $30.00 worth of flower seeds, and I’m slowly trying them out in a variety of pots and containers to see which flowers do best under what circumstances—artificial light, natural light, etc. [...]

[...] But we’re still uneasy over the whole Mass Events affair —the disclaimer question, Jane’s reaction to the book itself since Seth started giving it, etc.—and any delay only serves to make us more suspicious, I’m afraid. [...]

Now Ruburt’s ego, so hard to win over, is now up in arms because it regards me as its exclusive property. [...]

[...] I want to read this over first.”)

[...] I do not for example completely take over. [...]

[...] I have had awareness of this occurrence a few times, and puzzled over it, seeing effects in finished work that I wanted, without knowing how I had achieved them. [...]

[...] As an experiment, with a complete palette set up, then almost automatically let your hand drift over the palette and choose its own colors in turn. [...]

This is also excellent therapy whenever you feel you are overly concerned consciously, and will open the doors to inspiration.

[...] I use terms like the overly conscientious self to help you. And then of course you want to know why it does not know when to stop in overly protective devices. [...]

[...] Before tonight’s session Jane read over the questions I’ve written out, derived from my reading of the 367th session. [...]

(The day was warmer — over 50 degrees as I drove down to 330. [...]

(5:09.) When people become ill, worried or fearful, one of the first symptoms of trouble is a lack of pleasure, a gradual discontinuance of playful action, and an over-concentration upon personal problems. [...]

[...] She began reading over again the session from the day before yesterday. [...]

[...] This makes it easier to triumph over such concepts. [...]

[...] Ruburt is often afraid he has little control over the situation. [...]

You tell yourself you have little control over his actions, or that your feelings make little difference in the face of his actions, but that is the other side of the same coin. [...]

And if you get various kinds of hangups then you’ll get over them. [...] And I’m saying good night for Seth and that means class is over. [...]

[...] And know that you will return to the room, that the physical image is still within it, but allow yourself the freedom to travel between dimensions, to accept what comes to you gladly, even our Lady of Florence over there in the corner; to open up joyfully and follow, (to Florence) and you close your eyes. [...]

(To Dee G.) And I would like our friend over here, the Lady of the Initials, invited in, on these dream adventures. [...]

[...] Although one can say that her life is over in this reality, her lifework isn’t. Many have written that her books are new each time they read them — that they’re constantly finding new material in them. [...]

Over the years Jane’s and my work led to our receiving many thousands of letters, not only from this country but from abroad, too. [...]
