“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] We are not speaking here of forced growth patterns, or of psychic or biological directions, impressed upon it so that any later divergence from them causes inevitable stress or pain. The fact remains that the child receives patterns of behavior, gently nudging it to grow in certain directions. [...] Beside this, however, certain general, learned patterns are biologically transmitted to the child through the genes. [...]

[...] Again, this would lead to a pattern too rigid for the development of the species, and give you too-specialized behavior patterns that would not allow you to cope as a species — particularly with the many varieties of social groupings possible.

The beliefs involving the son’s inherent rivalry with the father, and his need to overthrow him, follow instead patterns of culture and tradition, economic and social, rather than biological or psychological. [...]

Even your concepts of creativity are necessarily influenced by Framework 1 thinking, of course, so our sessions do indeed follow a larger pattern than that, giving you certain perspectives from different angles in book dictation, and in other material. To some extent the larger creative pattern of the material, which does exist and is sensed, is nevertheless not directly perceived, for you are bound to perceive it piecemeal.

[...] Those events each have their meaning in a larger pattern of activity. That pattern is not divorced from your reality, not thrust upon you, not apart from your experience. [...]

In those terms, using our analogy, the recognition of Framework 2 would bring you from that point to the production of great art, where words served to express not only the seen but the unseen — not simply facts but feelings and emotions — and where the words themselves escaped their consecutive patterns, sending the emotions into realms that quite defied both space and time.

[...] This outer pattern itself follows inner patterns of release, and inner realizations.

[...] The joyful and optimistic experiences however also bring about biological changes, and serve as imprints, patterns, for future physical improvement. [...]

The living vitality of a cordella rises out of the universe’s need to express and understand itself, to form in ever-changing patterns and take itself by surprise. Patterned language allows for no such surprises. [...]

Now the Sumari language will avoid specific, indelible, rigid pattern in much the same way. [...]

[...] The emphasis will be on an object’s “placement,” (in quotes) in title and space as you think of it, and on the ever-changing pattern of force that constantly alter relationships of any kind.

[...] You will no longer translate inner experience with the same automatic glibness into stereotyped verbal patterns of images, but will be far better able to experience it for itself.

[...] There is a pattern of sound beneath all languages, a bed of vocal communication that lies behind all language and alphabet. [...]

[...] More than this, intuitive information can be given through this method that quite escapes the limitations of logically structured verbal pattern. [...]

[...] You did help transmit the information also in highly stylized drawings, and to a much lesser extent through highly stylized voice patterns that were taught to students.

You have a sense of rhythm, and more conventional musical knowledge than Ruburt, yet rhythmic patterns are very strongly in his makeup, and appeared earlier, silently so to speak in his poetry. [...]

(“The impression of fine, finely patterned edges. [...] When Jane opened the double sealed envelopes, she found the pepper had settled in a loose line at the bottom of the inside envelope; thus it formed a fine patterned edge, which also consisted of black and lighter colored grains even though the pepper is called black, in actuality less than half of it seemed to be black, literally.

Now, there is an overall personality pattern that is characteristic of each whole self, of which the reincarnated selves each give evidence. [...]

[...] Unexplained tendencies and inclinations then are seen as part of an overall pattern.

A miscellany of united objects or images, of small patterns like dots but larger than small dots. [...]

[...] There are patterns of highly constructive change that never show, as far as your media is concerned. [...] There are compensating, creative earth patterns occurring in terms of energy, but these do not show.

[...] The news is invisibly organized to fit certain patterns, so that when you read or hear it, it carries the seemingly indelible mark, confirming the basic beliefs of the culture.

I am not speaking strictly of political parties or political newspapers, or of any specialized journals or magazines, but of the overall pattern displayed by all of your mass communications. [...]

[...] The newspaper world is, then, highly distorted, organized in such a manner that its data reinforce negative beliefs, and constantly give evidence only of negative patterns. [...]

In telepathic and clairvoyant experiences, the electromagnetic reality pattern is what is transmitted. It must then be transformed into a pattern that will be distinguished by ego awareness, if the individual is to be consciously aware of having received such a message.

The ego will become more of an organizer in general, letting in literally a barrage of experiences, and organizing them into meaningful patterns. Now the ego fears such experiences, and censors them and holds them out because it is not certain of its strength, or its ability to mold them into significant patterns.

[...] These electromagnetic changes form their own kind of pattern, which has mass but no weight, or weight so slight as to be indistinguishable.

[...] All of these are new electromagnetic patterns which are now indelibly a part of the race.

[...] (Pause.) In following this particular line of development, Ruburt for example will be taught to free inner cognition from the recognized verbal patterns enough so that any future work with speakers manuscripts will not be stereotyped out of all proportion. A recognizable verbal pattern must of course result, but use of the language itself will break up these personal associative processes that cling to recognized language symbols.

[...] The Sumari language in those terms will be used as a method of carrying you further into the nature of inner cognizance, and then allowing you to return again, retranslating what you have learned, not automatically into the stereotyped verbal pattern.

Therefore clear perception of inner data can freely use the whole structure of your own language for its flow if need be, but the stereotyped patterns will be broken.

[...] (Pause.) A certain amount of mental and psychic alertness is required on the one hand, and on the other alertness itself changes brain patterns in a most effective manner.

The alternate wake-sleep patterns of the world then, again, help pace the information. [...] The world mind, then, in your terms, could not be conscious all at one time, and the varying graduated waking-sleeping patterns—the overlapping between the extremes you mention—provide overall balance and allow for smooth communications of an inner kind.

(3. I asked that Seth continue his material on the waking-sleeping patterns of the species on a global scale. [...]

Again, the alternate waking-sleeping patterns keep the traffic signals clear, so to speak. [...]

[...] In a manner of speaking, the mind sends out electromagnetic patterns that are used almost like aerial bridges, upon which the signals of consciousness travel invisibly through your world. [...]

The breaking up of patterns is also beneficial, and is of course one of the reasons I suggest your vacation.

The vacation falling between and breaking up, you see, the nursery school pattern and the remainder of the summer, will be most beneficial. [...]

The breaking up of patterns in this respect is most important. [...]

[...] The same sort of activity last summer could have broken Ruburt’s pattern sufficiently enough to prevent the severity of the past difficulties. [...]

[...] At best your scientists will only discover more of these camouflage patterns, but the entire system will simply not be perceived by any one species, and you will never perceive camouflage patterns outside of your own patterns. [...]

[...] Your outer senses are equipped to perceive your own camouflage patterns. They are not equipped to deal with other camouflage patterns.

[...] There is a difference between the physical chromosome pattern, and the mental gene code, in that the chromosomes carry translated inner instructions in condensed physical form, for the physical cells to follow.

Now, although your space vehicles are not as apparently connected to the ground, they are indeed connected to the ground of your camouflage patterns in a most meaningful manner, since they are themselves camouflage. [...]

[...] Your camouflage patterns can be likened to the patterns cast by sun and shadow upon the ever-moving waves. As long as you keep the pattern in mind, you create it, and it is there. [...] Only by turning your head away for a moment can you see what is beneath the seemingly solid pattern. [...]

Concentrating upon your own camouflage universe, you are able to distinguish only the distortive pattern, and from this pattern you deduce your ideas of cause and effect, past, present and future, and ideas of an expanding universe that bloats. [...] The camouflage patterns that seem to enclose consciousness are temporary, for short term only, and for limited but necessary purpose.

[...] The inner senses inhabit directly the atmosphere of our value climate; and they see through the evervarying camouflage patterns, and the flux and flow of apparent change. [...]

Yet even these camouflage patterns must follow the basic rules of the inner universe, and reflect them even if in a distortive manner. [...]

(Long pause.) Since these offshoots or life-tracings each come from your entity, they are connected psychologically and in terms of electromagnetic energy patterns. [...]

[...] However, the normal experience-patterns of your temporal being prevent any comprehensive view of all of those lives in creature terms.

[...] You follow a one-line pattern of history, pursuing certain actions as reality and identifying with these so completely that they are all you perceive. [...]

[...] There are individual variations and yet mass patterns. [...]

[...] In turn these thoughts or emotions, as electric actions, can affect other actions; and influence patterns can be set up, and are set up. [...]

[...] If the thought or emotion is similar to those usually accepted, then this will take time, for new electrical patterns must be set up. [...]

Its manifestations are greatly concentrated, and its patterns attract mass, but in different terms in the electric field. [...]

[...] Dreams, also being electric actualities, depend upon an electric system of patterns to communicate their data to the various levels or areas of the inner self.

[...] Before he simply acquiesced to then, and was not able to perceive them as troublesome habitual patterns. These patterns lead quite predictably to moods of powerlessness and restriction.

[...] It is important that when he recognizes such patterns now, as he is beginning to, that he communicate them to you (as Jane did after supper tonight), until he gets used to handling them alone. [...]

The set of habitual patterned thoughts, then, that he recognized today, ultimately work against creativity, for they destroy the sense of being peaceful and free within the moment.

This requires alterations of patterns of sleep, that take time to change, but it can be done without completely changing from a day to night system. [...]

[...] The patterns for worlds—the patterns—continue in your time dimension, though in that time dimension those worlds must disappear, again, to continue “their existence outside of time.” The patterns are filled out again.

[...] The large classifications of mammals, fish, birds, men, reptiles, plants, and so forth, are [each] an integral part of that larger perceptive pattern—and that pattern (underlined) in those terms had to be complete even in the beginning of your time.

(9:42.) The large classifications of life give you the patterns into which consciousness forms itself, and because those patterns seem relatively stable it is easy to miss the fact that they are filled out, so to speak, in each moment with new energy. [...]

He became afraid of trying again to disrupt the old patterns. [...] This prevents him of course from breaking the patterns.

Those memories exist as patterns. [...]

The patterns for the earth and for its creatures were as real before their physical appearances, and far more real than, say, the plan for a painting that you might have in your mind. [...] The patterns for all of the species always existed without any before or after arrangement.

[...] (Pause.) Impulses also provide the natural impetus toward those patterns of behavior that serve you best, so that while certain impulses may bunch up toward physical activity, say, others, seemingly contradictory, will lead toward quiet contemplation, so that overall certain balances are maintained.

[...] What you have in your physical species are the manifestations of inner species of being, or creative groupings originated by consciousness as material patterns into which consciousness then flows. [...]

In the terms that you can understand (underlined), all species that you are aware of (underlined) appeared more or less at once, because the mental patterns had peaked (gesturing). [...]

[...] As far as Ruburt’s physical condition is concerned this was the pattern, as once or twice I believe he mentioned, by the way. [...] However, the pattern was thusly: in rhythmic patterns of activity, the entire body, part by part, stretched itself from head to toe. [...]

[...] That pattern began strongly enough for you to notice changes in Ruburt’s height several weeks ago. [...]

[...] You then made a remark, voicing his own fears as well as your own, saying that you would not let him get away with it, meaning you would not let him get away with not going out as a pattern. [...]

The disapproval forces you to make a pattern in which the improvements become insignificant rather than significant. [...]
