“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] While artists all use the same “material” — the human experience — it is still the brilliant uniqueness or individuality pointing out and riding upon that shared human performance that makes a work “great.” Afterward the critics may point out patterns, assign the work to a certain school, connect the images or symbols to those in other paintings — and then make the mistake of believing the symbols to be general, always apt, meaning the same thing wherever they are found. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Mental “diseases” often point out the nature of your beliefs as they agree or conflict with those held by others. [...] There are crisis points here as with many physical illnesses, and left alone an individual may well work through to his own solution.

Now: There is one point here that I would like to make. [...]

Your discussion this evening was beneficial and showed a point in progress on both of your parts. [...]

A point, if you do not want a break now: Concentration must not be on Ruburt’s symptoms. [...]

A point now that I want you to heed in advance: In the past, because of joint negative attitudes, I have given the reasons for some of these. [...]

[...] It gave you practice, but beyond the point that you pursued it, it could have frozen your abilities. [...]

[...] The deeper portions of the self do not have to take the ego’s idea of time into consideration, so these portions of the self also deal with data that would ordinarily escape the ego’s perception, perhaps until a certain “point” of ego time was reached.

(Seth’s clever, somewhat humorous stresses in the above paragraph were intended to make certain points to me personally while he continued work on his book. [...]

[...] Reading this book, you may be able to point at friends or acquaintances and see clearly that their ideas are invisible beliefs which limit their experience — and yet be blind to your own invisible beliefs, which you take so readily as truth or characteristics of reality.

From all the available physical data of newspapers, television, letters and private communication, he or she will concentrate only upon those issues that “prove” that point. [...]

In the diagram for example, each star would represent a moment point in another system. [...] You perceive but the lowest point of its reality, so I will tell you now that the various stars and planets and heavenly bodies that you observe in your universe do indeed exist as such, but only within your system.

[...] He was shown a multidimensional diagram of reality as it exists in terms of the spacious present, and in terms of qualities that represent dimensional points.

[...] These heavenly bodies represent moment points in other systems. [...]

(See the 149-152nd sessions for material on moment points, and sessions 246-250, and 254, for material on quasars.)

The physical body image that seems to die at a particular point, and seems to enter your physical universe at a particular point, does neither. [...]

[...] You are simply blocked in the pursuit of knowledge beyond a certain point as long as your scientists persist in the lines of their present development.

[...] During breaks, we had been trying to fill Jim Tennant in on some of the basic points of the material. [...]

[...] However, this evening I did not attempt to answer your guest’s two questions, not because I disapproved, merely because at this point the material is the important thing, and I didn’t want to be sidetracked.

I want you, in other words, to make tangible evidence of your own good points and accomplishments, so that when you are lost in periods of depression and negative thinking there will be something that you can look at. And you can say, “I am a person with good points and accomplishments, and here they are listed for me.” [...]

[...] Your friend (Dr. Holloway) did not mention the most important point of all. [...]

[...] Most of all you need to know yourself as an individual, with your good points and your failings. [...]

[...] This is what I want you to do: I want you to make a list of your good points, of your abilities. [...]

I will return the class either to Ruburt, or to our fine technicians but I wanted to make that point. [...]

[...] It is a good point of housewifery prudence and spiritual prudence as well, but you would not have given had not this authority figure of the Pope done so ahead of you which means that presently you are looking for direction and hoping to find it and also that you are not going to give to any red-hooded beggars who knock at your side door. [...]

[...] You should also have a series of dreams that work out various aspects of the same problem for this is but one isolated point of your feelings. [...]

Anything that you perceive with your senses, for the point of our discussion, you can call material, but you only perceive certain ranges of material as you only perceive certain ranges of an entire spectrum of light. [...]

The points I have mentioned were highly effective, and they were the most easily and naturally accomplished. [...] The impetus further led him around the kitchen, usually in the chair, but often to take steps in a different way from one point to another. [...]

[...] The things that paid off, the things that were indeed quite effective, were these: again, your chair suggestion —remind me to return to that, for I have not mentioned some other reasons why I would like it stressed—it being the chair; the table in the kitchen, with all of the implications of additional cooking and involvement; your remark (last week) that Ruburt’s face looked much better than it did in those old photographs; your bringing in the flowers; your lovemaking, which I will discuss; and Ruburt’s point-of-power exercises. [...]

[...] It is Ruburt’s nature to yell at the cat, but he feels the noise upsets you—a small point, but important.

One additional point: Ruburt can indeed recover. [...]

[...] As soon as she’d read that passage on Tuesday, she’d begun to talk about it, to question me, so I knew it had struck a sticky point. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s message from “The Sinful Self” is a case in point, for it represents a response both to my material and to a question of your own. [...]

[...] They serve as focal points of his interest, of course, and initiate various physical and psychological responses. [...]

[...] Such a period is then followed again by perhaps more pointed activity. [...]

[...] I merely wanted to point out these matters this evening.

There are points of correspondence you see between people that can be used to set up constructive communications and bring about constructive events. [...]

[...] That is one point. [...]

Now I am giving you an apartment-by-apartment version simply to make my point. [...]

This session can indeed be a turning point, if you accept it as such. The point of power is in the present. Understand that, for this session can indeed be a turning point, and you can both determine that this be so. [...]

[...] It contains Seth’s material on the present point of power; I came across it while checking out a reference for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality. [...]

Point one—end of sentence.

This brings me to a particular point—difficult to describe. [...]

[...] What I said earlier still applies on that point.

[...] He is ready for another leap in understanding, that brings him to another “higher” point.

[...] This is an excellent point.)

[...] He should not overestimate the poor points of his condition. [...]

[...] These are small but important points. [...]

The concentration away from the self is the most important point I can give him now. [...]

[...] I do want to make the point that that state of mind should be applied whenever possible to all areas of your lives. [...]

[...] One important point: he gobbles experience, emphasizes it, studies it—and that quality also means that his bodily sensations are treated in the same manner. [...]

[...] Except for the point of power, he has not actively promoted his desire to walk normally, and this was relatively wise, for as he begins to let go of effort he was not tempted to think of contradictions, as he might have had he more actively encouraged those desires.

[...] I tried to cover the most important points.

(Again, during the break the point that “the answers are within us” was being discussed and the further point that these answers were evolved emotionally rather than wholly rationally. [...]

[...] And when you look at the world you know you can say, “Look, this is what I have created!” And if you do not like what you see, then there is no point in ripping apart the painting or ripping apart the framework of your life. [...]

[...] There is a point where you are so imprisoned within yourself that you cannot feel the reality of others. [...]

The point is: You should dream! [...]

[...] I am simply pointing out one probability that exists. [...] There are ancient maps drawn from a 200-mile-or-more vantage point — these meticulously completed on return from such journeys.

[...] I am not suggesting that their use is futile, however — merely pointing out the limitations inherently involved.

[...] Otherwise, with your ideas of applied science and technology, the gadgets will be the pivoting point, and the ideas of manipulation will be stressed. [...]

1. Once again (as in Note 7 for the last session), I quote Seth from the 45th session: “Any investigation of the basic inner universe, which is the only real universe, must be done as much as possible from a point outside your own distortions … To get outside your own universe, you must travel inward … Your so-called scientific, so-called objective experiments can continue for an eternity, but they will only probe further and further with camouflage [physical] instruments into a camouflage universe … The subconscious, it is true, has elements of its own distortions, but these are easier to escape than the tons of distortive camouflage atmosphere that weigh your scientific experiments down.”

(Jane pointed to John.) At times our friend has sensed this portion of the self. [...]

I did want to make the point however that you are now aware in practical terms of a conscious part of the personality that appears to be independent of the ego and aware of the ego’s activities.

I made those points clear in a recent session, and they are important. [...]

[...] In the session he also touched upon several other points I’d raised very recently, including the nature of Jane’s symptoms. [...]

[...] As I turned on a couple of additional lights in the living room, to see to write by, our friends in the fireplace began to sound off —adding a new sort of whistling or crying sound—and Jane made what may be a good point: light may leak past the closed damper enough that the raccoons respond to that stimulus. [...]

I meant to point out at our last session the multitudinous ways in which our sessions are related to the events of the world. [...]

You wrote recently that to some extent or another your daily reality was being changed by your dream recall—an excellent point. [...]

[...] Preparing Oversoul Seven gives him a good point of concentration, yet beyond that he should allow himself the leisure and pleasure of playing with concepts, with poetry, and even with painting. [...]

[...] The whole personality of the father did not need to be involved after a certain point however, and withdrew. [...]

At such a crisis point as is now reached, there is great activity on the part of the whole personality of which the fragment is a part. [...]

You are being of strong practical help now, though it may not appear so, by refusing to accept at this point the role that your mother wants you to take. [...]

This refusal also in many ways represents your own salvation, or the release at least of several important problems at this point. [...]
