“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Very long pause.) People often react to their beliefs about the kinds of persons they should be, and to imagined events. [...] A person may see himself or herself, say, as a daring explorer, an inventor, an opera star or whatever, and react against such images. [...]

[...] He depends upon creativity, for example, as you do, to provide a more or less steady source of enjoyment, excitement, personal accomplishment—not to mention livelihood —and as per last evening’s session, creativity operates in ways that may appear uncertain. [...]

[...] Nor should such decisions be made through the auspices of personal fear. [...]

[...] Ruburt set out, of course, to handle his own purposes and challenges, but he chose those in the context of your world, so that in encountering them personally he would encounter them for your society as well. [...]

[...] When you seem to suffer in contrast to the development or situation of any other specific or generalized persons, it is when you are trying to live up to artificial pictures of yourselves—of people who should have been as knowledgeable years ago as they are now, and who therefore now should be at much greater stages of development. [...]

The blandness, comparatively speaking, in previous paintings of your apartment did not overall reflect Ruburt’s personality, which is given to contrasts. [...]

[...] Ruburt was strongly attracted to your new rug because of the contrast, this in itself allows steady and harmonious expression of his own personality.

In my book—the next one—I am going to discuss more about the nature of personal beliefs. [...]

The psychic work will also enlarge his personal creative endeavors. [...]

[...] At our next session we can have some theoretical material, and I shall add any other personal information that I think necessary. It is a good idea however for you to request such personal information.

[...] A reference to Augustus in Chapter 6 of Personal Reality.)

Now, seven years later, I realize that this was an excellent example of the ways in which the inner self can suddenly regenerate and revitalize the personality, open up new methods of perception, shatter barriers and flood the personality with energy that sets it right, reorganizing it in more meaningful directions. [...]

Personality is the individual’s overall responses to ideas received and constructed. [...]

[...] Only enough energy is used to keep the personal image construction in existence. [...]

(There are actually 6 personal names on the back of the object: Leonard, John, Jane and myself, Lincoln, and the photographer who took the pictures used on the front of the postcard, Don Sieburg.

[...] And as stated earlier there are 6 personal names there also.

[...] There are a total of six personal names on the object, the other two, Don Sieburg and Lincoln, being printed.

[...] Once again, there are six personal names on the object, and five of them are male.)

(Seth then went on to say that the bridge personality would be dispensed with eventually, because it would no longer be needed. [...]

[...] These result in the formation of “personalities” or entities who are aware of their own identities by following different pathways than your own, while also in their way contributing to the formation of your universe even as you do.

[...] It seems to you now that such personalities (long pause) are not physically perceivable, but at one time you could bring them into the range of your perception.

“I will have more to say on this subject in a personal context at our next session. [...]

We will begin with personal material, and the continuation of your own sessions. [...]

Each day became a battle to turn play into work, structure it, and make it personally and socially acceptable. [...]

[...] You personally do not think of the dream state as work time, and therefore inhibit very definite inspirations. [...]

[...] In this life, however, you used [the elements of] your personal environment as tools for the artist. [...]

[...] A peculiar set of abilities and interests is required for work like this to be even partially successful, or accepted by the personalities involved. [...]

(With a smile:) “Your particular conscious and subconscious viewpoints are fluent enough so that they do not hamper the basic material, or cover it with the rock of dogmatism so that it becomes impossible to find … Actually, what I needed were personalities who were not fanatics along any line — including scientific fanatics who would object as forcibly to the reincarnational data as religious fanatics would object to some of the other material.

[...] I told her, feeling that only good could come out of such a dialogue between parts of the overall self or personality. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s forgotten dream was a clear psychological statement in which all of the elements in his personality momentarily joined not only for a discussion, so to speak, but blended their forces, exerted their energies, and set up a firm intent to clarify the entire situation, and to exert all of their energies in a successful healing venture. [...]

[...] All of this simply means that you became aware of larger portions of the whole personality, and were consciously able to use these abilities, conscious and subconscious being, of course, artificial terms.

If possible he should make a strong effort to recall his previous sense of flexibility and not identify his personal image with the condition of his physical body during his difficulties.

[...] The more middlemen that I entertained between my physical condition and my personal beliefs, the more confused I thought I’d be.

[...] And in her introduction to Seth Speaks (1972), she quoted Seth from the 510th session for January 19, 1970: “While my communications will come exclusively through Ruburt (Jane) at all times, to protect the integrity of the material, I will invite the reader to become aware of me as a personality….”

[...] To some extent it is everywhere apparent in each person’s private experience, and it is obviously stated in the very existence of your world itself. [...]

Give us a moment… Your world, then, is the result of a multidimensional creative venture, a work of art in terms almost impossible for you to presently understand, in which each person and creature, and each particle, plays a living part. [...]

The exterior dimensions are replicas of interior personal ones. [...]

Because of the personal material given in late sessions, Ruburt has the habit of worrying—protecting the idea of time and ability as described, so that in one day he will worry about what distractions may arise the next day, and this puts him on guard. [...]

[...] He is reaching beyond his own personal subconscious, for while the personal subconscious does have definite knowledge unknown to the conscious mind, it also has definite limits.

[...] It is difficult for Ruburt to maintain steadily that particular reception of frequency, and within certain limits there is sometimes a slipping in and out, so that now and then Ruburt’s personal subconscious is allowed to intrude. [...]

[...] You may call this the dreaming personality if you prefer, but it amounts to another self. [...]
