“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] He said “You do indeed have control,” and his personal manner was such that he convinced them. [...]

This means that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with the person, which many of them have believed. [...]

The cured person becomes a convert to a new way of life. [...]

The body is amazingly capable of turning what seem to be toxic substances into beneficial ones, and any body carries within it quite harmlessly all kinds of seemingly deadly viruses that in a healthy person add to overall body balance and health.

I had some pertinent remarks to make this evening, and since Philip (Seth’s entity name for John Bradley) is indeed a friend, I shall feel free to make them, although they are somewhat of a personal nature, and directed to you and our reluctant medium.

[...] His personality is so constructed that he cannot give time, without conflict, to any matter to which he is not totally committed, or to any matter about which he has any serious doubt.

[...] As a whole personality now, Ruburt has found himself operating at prime efficiency in several late incidents, when the ego and intuitive self have worked in harmony. [...]

Again, he does not have to feel—and he should not feel—that ideally he should be a public personality, going abroad to sell our ideas. That kind of personality would not be the kind to get this particular kind of information, or this kind of particular session to begin with.

[...] A prudent understanding of the need for safety is wise, and built-in— but no animal or person can operate fully under constant implied threats. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Since your conscious beliefs determine those unconscious functions that bring about your personal experience, your first step is to enlarge those beliefs.

[...] You, as a personality, regardless of your health, wealth or circumstances, have a rich variety of probable experience from which to choose. [...]

(During the past few weeks Jane has had but a few sessions for her ESP class and a couple of personal ones for us. [...]

[...] If you are interested in the nature of your own reality, then it becomes a highly personal and pertinent matter.

You spoke about this plane, mentioning I believe the possibility that the plane had some specified but unknown end, after which the cycle began anew, with of course new personalities participating.

[...] There are cycles, but they are brought about individually and en masse by the personalities active on your plane.

[...] You mentioned that when and if you become an entity, and send forth personalities, that they would gain existence in the first periods of another such cycle; in another newer, say, fourth or fifth century.

[...] Therefore, such personalities that you would project are already projected, and only the veil of unawareness divides you, as only the veil of unawareness ever separates one field or plane from another.

(Long pause at 9:10.) The natural person is understood perhaps more clearly by considering any person as a child. [...]

[...] I also told Jane that her reactions were probably triggered at least in part because of her own vulnerable position, due to her personal challenges.

(Jane’s “walking” has improved much in the last week, especially, and overall since Seth began this series of personal sessions. [...]

[...] When I tell you to remember your own natural persons, I do then want to remind you not to identify with your intellects alone, but to enlarge your scopes of identity. [...]

(At my suggestion Jane has started a notebook in which to record experiences with her “beam of energy,” a concept I personally find most interesting, and with out-of-body trips, and other such adventures. [...]

[...] Examine your own personal experience with physical reality now and then when you have a moment (with irony), relying only upon your own experience. [...]

How many crimes have you each personally encountered? [...]

[...] I’m still surprised, I guess, that even after all his efforts, Seth can creatively come up with fresh approaches to try to help us—this time through our examining our worlds through our personal experiences. [...]

Now: we have a young man who felt himself to be unimportant, lacking in stature or ability—the kind of a person who would be lost in a crowd.

Any purpose is better than none, and any intended personalized threat is better than an existence in which no life is important enough to be individually threatened, so these imagined threats serve to convince our young man that his life must have meaning or purpose—otherwise others would not be so intent on destroying him. [...]

[...] The plot is left open, but in the deepest terms the whole self, through its personalities, probes deeply into the meaning of life in all of its manifestations. [...]

[...] He sees the oil company people out there with helicopters and sophisticated machinery that destroys people’s vital energy—simply a more colorful, exaggerated version of the same idea personally applied. [...]

[...] This led into a discussion about computers, and Bill Gallagher’s personal idea of studying up on them for future use in business. [...] He said Bill’s personal ideas were good ones; the inherent danger with them had to do with the type of salesman’s personality, the feeling of superiority and of having power over others, that might color the use of computers. [...]

[...] Seth now informed me that in the 180th session Jane distorted the information about the border of the photo into a border of flowers because of her personal childhood associations. [...]

[...] In the future I will expand enough to be able to include them in my awareness without fear of personal threat, which impedes me at the moment. [...]

[...] Commenting on Frank Watts, the personality Jane and I first contacted on the Ouija board to begin these sessions, Seth told me that there were records in town pertaining to Frank Watts, if we would stir ourselves to look for them.

[...] Each person constructs that glass in terms of his own personal perspective.

(Jane and I have been waiting without effort, yet with anticipation, for Seth to get to our personal experiments with psychological time. [...]

Theoretically, this even personal environment reaches indefinitely. [...]

If ten people seemingly observe this glass, you have ten personal perspectives that actually exist, ten space continuums, and ten actual glasses. [...]

[...] Looking at your parents, you decided early that you would have a certain kind of relationship with a woman—a closeness that your father did not have with your mother—one that involved many facets of your own personality and with its purposes. [...]

[...] Had he not delved into deeper questions, he could very well have been the novelist, going no further than a novelist can into the nature of personality or motivation.

[...] The two of you together through these sessions help to spread certain ideas, yet many people not personally involved actually can use the material at times better—but they could not produce it—a very important point, and so in that area of freedom you are so ahead of the game that ordinary behavior by contrast is sadly lacking. [...]

[...] Jane soon decided to end it, saying that she had that “sick feeling” she sometimes gets when the material has been very personal. [...]

Now: While Ruburt is not a child he operates emotionally with a child’s simplicity, and is at his best in direct personal encounter with you or with his friends, for example. [...]

[...] Beside the personality differences, however, work was also involved. [...]

[...] (?) If you let the personal sessions go then there are reasons why you each let them go. [...]

[...] It had to justify the lack of spontaneity in personal areas, and the same always applied to you. [...]

[...] In The Nature of Personal Reality I tried to extend the practical boundaries of individual existence as it is usually experienced. [...]

(A minute later:) In the psychic areas, all patterns for knowledge, cultures, civilizations, personal and mass accomplishments, sciences, religions, technologies and arts, exist in the same fashion.

[...] You may personally have the ability to be a fine athlete, for example. [...]

This does not mean that any person, spontaneously, with no instruction, can suddenly become a great artist or writer or scientist. [...]

[...] Touching the vase, your Aunt Sarah might think of the person who gave it to her, now on the other side of the continent. That person, perhaps thinking of buying a present for someone, might settle upon a vase in a flash of inspiration, or suddenly begin humming a song with the name “Sarah” in the title, or possibly even think of your aunt. [...]

[...] These are like charged emotional patterns, formed of your own highly personal emotions and intents.

[...] In doing so, to some extent you multiply the creative possibilities of the universe, forming from it a personal reality that would otherwise be absent, in those terms; and in so doing you also add in an immeasurable fashion to the reality of all other consciousness by increasing the bank of reality from which all consciousness draws.

[...] That is, changing the world for the better is not your personal responsibility. [...]

If you think that it is your personal responsibility alone to change the world, then you are always bound to feel a burdening sense of failure. [...]

[...] The star in the medical theater is the absent one, and that applied to his personal situation. [...]

[...] The other portions of the personality need translation and interpretation. [...]

[...] The person that you seek is here, but he is with you, and has never parted from you, and even though he continues his existence in another dimension you are not divided nor separated; and you will gain from his added development, for he will telepathically let you understand matters that you did not understand before.

[...] The other portions of the personality need translation and interpretation. [...]

[...] The person that you seek is here, but he is with you, and has never parted from you, and even though he continues his existence in another dimension you are not divided nor separated; and you will gain from his added development, for he will telepathically let you understand matters that you did not understand before. [...]

The other night you were talking to a portion of the personality who called itself the creator. [...]

[...] I am far more resilient, pliable, flexible and daring then other elements of his personality, which are fear-ridden. [...]

(9:15.) He felt for some time that you were intrigued by the spontaneous parts of his personality, as long as they could be controlled, kept proper and in their place. [...]

(9:37.) One of the best influences on him are the few pages in a book by a psychologist about the creative personality. [...]

[...] In most instances, or at least in many instances, I do not see the particular physical image of a witness to a session; but indeed as you described it, I see what you may call a composite image, an energy reality that is composed of past personalities, and in many cases also of future personalities that will be adopted by the inner self.

Unknown characters within the dream action, persons unknown to you in everyday life, should be given careful attention also, and the roles which they play within the dream drama. [...]

And added to this, the training will give you valuable information regarding the nature of dreams in general, the stages of the subconscious, and the inner life of the personality when it is dissociated from its physical environment to some considerable extent.

[...] This is obviously still very much in the future, but it is well within the abilities of human personality, and within the realms of your own abilities.
