“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: it is not true—and I emphasize this strongly—that so-called unconscious material, given any freedom, will draw energy away from the egotistically organized self in a normal personality. [...]

[...] In a healthy personality, the inner self easily projects all experience into EE units, where they are translated into actuality. [...]

[...] Instead your physical form, your corporeal personal environment, is the physical materialization of your own thoughts, emotions, and interpretations.

[...] Now whenever you think emotionally of another person, you send out a counterpart of yourself, beneath the intensity of matter, but a definite form. [...]

[...] The two of you, now, chose that aspect of your lives together in this life, to help you understand the meaningful relationship between spontaneity as connected with the emotions and creativity, and discipline as connected with the intellectual: to feel and understand the creative tension that connects them both, to learn the personal aspects of emotional relationships as they affect others, and the reflection of the emotions into creative endeavor. [...]

[...] You knew that one of Ruburt’s purposes would be to insist upon the expression of your emotions to him personally. [...]

[...] Because you are involved in an intricate psychological gestalt such as this, and because the connections mentioned earlier do exist, you can avail yourself to some extent of abilities and knowledge possessed by these other probable portions of your personality.

(Seth then briefly answered a couple of personal questions.)

[...] If you did not have some trust in yourselves, some appreciation of your own characteristics, you would not have allowed yourselves to develop and use your abilities at all—or, for that matter, you would not have been able to form a vital long-term relationship with another person.

[...] You believed in the importance of developing your own abilities, because those abilities so naturally manifested themselves as strong elements of your personalities.

[...] It is your personal physical property. [...] It is like a splendid ship, the body, that you have chosen ahead of time for a splendid challenging adventure—a ship that you have personally appointed that is equipped to serve as much as possible as a physical manifestation of your personhood.

[...] The analogy may be a simple one, yet each person chooses the living vessel of the body, with his or her own intents and purposes in mind.

[...] In a manner of speaking, your slightest thought gives birth to worlds.”⁸ I also found an opportunity to insert the same lines in Chapter 10 of Personal Reality; see the 641st session.

In those terms each living person has other counterparts of himself or herself alive, generally speaking, at the same time, sharing the physical face of the earth. [...]

[...] Now she reminded me that she misses keeping up with Seth’s dictation — that she has trouble deciphering my personal shorthand, and that not knowing what Seth has been saying makes her feel “uneasy.” [...]

[...] Therefore the characteristic ways used by any given personality, in connection with his or her physical image, will also be used in the construction of dream images.

[...] You may follow whatever course you personally prefer, as circumstances warrant.

[...] A person, I believe a man, crosses below the terrace. [...]

[...] No more personal material was received. [...]

[...] And the perceiver must then be a person of strong psychic abilities, whether or not he realizes this. Or the projecting personality must be either driven by high emotional intensity to make himself known, or be of exceptional ability.

[...] This is good personal data as far as Jane is concerned, since from early childhood she has had a strong association between playgrounds and schools. [...]

[...] Jane said one interpretation could be that we know three other teachers personally; the fourth, separated, would be Mr. Clauss whom Jane met twice perhaps a couple of years ago. [...]

[...] I had the feeling when she spoke those opening words tonight that they constituted a blend of her own conscious desires plus those of the trance personality, whatever “its” status may eventually prove to be.)

[...] I must remind you again, however, that in the overall your activities are not all confined to that framework because of your creative interests and your personalities. [...]

You share Framework 1 activity with others, for that world largely surrounds you, but remember, I am speaking in analogies to make certain points, for every person’s life has its Framework-2 orientations. [...]

[...] At the same time she began casting her material in the third person. [...]

“Toward the end of the material (in the second statement) I briefly thought the Seth level might be involved, but the wording didn’t come through as automatically and smoothly as it does with Seth, and I didn’t feel his … personality. [...]

[...] I have personality characteristics by which those who have come to sessions can identify me. [...]

You may say if you wish that I am a dream image lacking even an image — but if so, then each individual whose life is changed by my words must question: “What is a dream?” In the same way that my personality exists without physical manifestation, so does your own. [...]

[...] If you want to call any one dream event a private event, then I would have to tell you that that private event actually was your personal contribution to a larger multisided dream event, many-layered, so that one level might deal with the interests of a group to which you belong—say your family, [or] your political or religious organization—reaching “outward” to the realm of national government and world affairs. [...]

[...] The various tribal members would have dreams in which the problem was considered, each dreamer tackling whatever aspect of the problem that best suited his or her abilities and personal intents. [...]

[...] They also involve you in the most productive of enterprises as you begin to play with versions of events that are being considered for physical actualization, as on a personal level you “view” the probable events which your family, tribe, organization, community and country will actualize.

(Long pause.) The most important aspects of individuality are those subjective characteristics that on the one hand distinguish each person from the other, and that on the other hand are each like sparkling psychological mosaics, giving separate, exquisite individual versions of that larger pattern from which mankind emerges. [...]

[...] There are gradations of suffering, of course, and each person will have his or her definitions of what suffering is. [...]

Each person seeks value fulfillment, and that means that they choose various lives in such a fashion that all of their abilities and capacities can be best developed, and in such a way that their world is also enriched. [...]

[...] It is Ruburt’s independent ego that is here a strong helpmate to us, for since we have taken it into consideration it allows us leeway while automatically keeping the whole personality in good balance.

[...] When the nature and behavior of energy as it is seen in action is understood, and when it is applied to the mobility of the human personality, then such sessions as ours will be taken for granted, though this I admit will take a while.

[...] I have not asked Seth about the discrepancy yet of course, but Jane feels they both represent different facets of the Seth entity or personality.)

They desire to be strong, then, while believing in a lack of personal strength. [...]

The child is a part of the loving universe, its name forever written there, where all personalities have their sweet freedom. [...]

[...] The information has to do with the nature of your own consciousness and with these personalities of which you have been speaking. [...]
