“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I said she had to put the past in its place if ever she was to be free. [...]

[...] In other words, I said, we’d been approaching the problem backwards: Jane wasn’t sick so much because of her past as she was because of what we were doing every day in present reality—reinforcing and/or perpetuating the symptoms because they served a number of beliefs about present-day reality. [...]

[...] In the immediate past I would have automatically been against—or at least not in favor of—such a session for relative strangers on short notice. [...]

[...] As I have told you in the past, the individual does indeed survive physical death, but there is a reorganization of psychological elements that compose the personality. [...]

I do not need therefore to adopt a past ego. [...]

[...] Your mother and he, beneath all of their difficulties in this life and in others past, have a deep relationship. [...]

[...] Loren in particular, in spite of past male lives, is strongly feminine, and your sister-in-law is undergoing her first female incarnation.

Right now our friend Sue Watkins, who lives better than an hour’s drive upstate, is well past the 15th chapter of Conversations With Seth, the book she’s writing about the ESP classes Jane held from September 1967 to February 1975. [...]

[...] The night was warm, heavily overcast, and mysterious: The streetlight down at the corner of our lot cast long shadows up the road running past the house and into the woods. [...]

You have forgotten, conveniently, how much you learned from all of the animals, as I have mentioned in past sessions. [...]

[...] In the warm evening the silent road still ran uphill past the house and into the woods. [...]

[...] I will give you the opportunity to ask the correct questions, for in the past you have not known enough to know what they are. [...]

[...] As I have said before, according to psychology and science, you are a living conglomeration of elements and chemicals, spawned by a universe without purpose, itself accidentally formed, and you are given a life in which all the “primitive and animalistic” drives of your evolutionary past ever lurk within you, awaiting expression and undermining your control.

[...] In the past you treated the land in your country as if your species, being the “fittest,” had the right to survive at the expense of all other species, and at the expense of the land itself. [...]

The new psychology shut off mobility after death, while giving each individual an unsavory primitive past heritage — a heritage genetically carried, that led finally only to the grave. [...]

You also, however, had connections in past lives, very strong ones. [...]

[...] You had moved so often in the past you were afraid of making a false move, and so you chose to make no move at all. [...]

[...] In Asia Minor, and fragments of a past civilization were then there. [...]

[...] I do not know if it is a history book, but it deals either with events in the past, or with ideas of the past.

A mention of a much-maligned historical figure, also I believe from the past. [...]

9. Seth prepared the way for these statements by declaring in the 684th session, in Volume 1: “It is truer to say that heredity operates from the future backward into the past, than it is to say that it operates from the past into the present. Neither statement would be precisely correct in any case, because your present is a poised balance affected as much by the probable future as the probable past.”

17. These excerpts from Seth’s material in the 690th session, for Volume 1, furnish a close analogy to the sort of “time” available to molecular consciousness: “… biological precognition is firmly based in the chromosomes and genes, and reflected in the cells … The cells’ practically felt ‘Now’ includes, then, what you think of as past and future, as simple conditions of Nowness. [...] There is a constant give-and-take of communication between the cell as you know it in present time, and the cell as it ‘was’ in the past, or ‘will be.’”

In thinking in terms of consecutive time, however, evolution does not march from the past into the future. [...]

[...] In atomic physics, for example, no special meaning or place is given to any particular moment, and fundamentally the past and future all but merge in the interactions of elementary particles — thus at least approaching Seth’s simultaneous time.¹⁰ At that level there’s change, or value fulfillment, but no evolution. [...]

The interrelationships of your personalities in past lives is quite legitimate. [...]

[...] A department initiated by you, and a relatively new service in this area—I believe it has been adopted and sometimes discarded in other areas—but it is not an ordinary issue, and it is something that you have considered yourself in the past, though not seriously.

[...] He remembered in the past how he felt withdrawing money from the bank. [...]

[...] Anything I said concerning Jane and jobs referred to past experiences, which hadn’t worked out, etc.

He is an acquaintance of the messenger and he is superficially friendly with the messenger, and he may (underlined) have warned you against him in the past. [...]

[...] He plans to go over these paragraph by paragraph and make his comments on the accuracy of Seth’s data over the past few years, regarding John and Searle. [...]

[...] But with his limited knowledge he did not see that this unconscious would exist outside of your three-dimensional system entirely, holding future as well as past, nor that it has such a cohesive effect upon humanity as a whole. [...]

[...] He’d sent some home-canned jars of fruits and vegetables at Christmas time; for the past year he’d also written a string of long letters signed “me,” meaning I couldn’t answer him to say thanks for the stuff. [...]

(This course of action has been reminding me, of course, of Seth’s assertion that Jane’s thyroid has regenerated itself in the past. [...]
