“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] In fact, and this is a rather important point, the ears ordinarily hear sounds outside the body more readily than sounds inside the body itself. [...]

I am sure that you realize these points yourself. [...]

I want you to take a break but first I want to make one other point, and that is this: The mind contains the conscious and the subconscious, but the conscious and the subconscious are fluid. [...]

[...] Though in some cases it may fall down, overall it will make my point.

[...] I do not know if it was merely a dream or not at this point. [...]

[...] In the following material I will underline a few of the points of emphasis she made.)

[...] Strangely I had never asked Seth for an explanation, so now I made it a point to remark that I hoped he would deal with it this evening. [...]

You will find that we have covered some excellent points here this evening, that will be most helpful in further discussions. [...]

[...] The body’s ability now to cure itself is the important point, however.

[...] From your point of view these might appear alien, and yet they are as much a part of your psyche as your motherland is a portion of the earth.

[...] The reality of your own being cannot be defined by anyone but you, and then your own definition must be understood as a reference point at best. [...]

[...] We have been chasing a point—you and I—and it is my feeling that at the level at which we have been chasing it, it is not possible for me to really understand the point and moreover that at the level at which I should like to understand the point, there is indeed nothing to discuss. [...]

[...] May we pursue that point a bit? [...]

[...] However (pause), in its purest form a unit of consciousness can be in all places at the same time (forcefully). It becomes beside the point, then, to say that when it operates as a wave a unit of consciousness is precognitive, or clairvoyant, since it has the capacity to be in all places and all times simultaneously.

[...] Metaphysically, they can be thought of as the point at which All That Is acts to form [your] world—the immediate contact of a never-ending creative inspiration, coming into mental focus, the metamorphosis of certainly divine origin that brings the physical world into existence from the greater reality of divine fact. [...]

(Pause at 10:02.) There is a point here that I want to emphasize before we go too far, and it is this: The dream world is not an aimless, nonlogical, unintellectual field of activity. [...]

[...] The hostage crisis in Iran is a case in point. [...]

[...] In all the visitors we’ve had, this one went the furthest, I thought, to the point I’d often wondered about: actually calling the police for help in handling someone. [...] Whoever I talked to had evidently been questioned by someone also looking for us—if not Fred himself —but his description of the person, as being older and with white hair, didn’t match Fred’s appearance at all, so I didn’t press the point. [...]

[...] I could see that his pointed shoes looked rather worn. [...]

[...] He’s given us those books and manuscripts” —I pointed to them, stacked up on the picnic table—“and he wants my wife to read them. [...]

[...] At one point he tried to insist upon the dominance of the conscious mind, and became pedantic. [...]

[...] Nevertheless, the point has now been reached where he does realize that the basic self is good, and the abilities are being put to good purpose. [...]

[...] Using Richard as a case in point, Ruburt sees what happens when full consent is given. [...]

[...] I have a small point here, in that Hitler represented as a bleedthrough from a probable reality—extremely interesting. [...]

[...] To get back however to the original point I wish to make, there is a point beyond which the most suggestible personality will be beyond reach, no matter what the circumstances are. [...]

[...] I do want to mention one little point with which you might be concerned or pleased. You are both experiencing at this point, and have experienced in the past, the distorted time element, or so-called foreshortened time that you read about in your books on hypnotism. [...]

[...] And as far as suggestion is concerned, since you both have been reading along these lines, there is a point where the most suggestible of persons is beyond reach.

[...] I am making this point because I want it made plain—this, dear Joseph, is a pun—that when I speak of science on another plane I may not speak of the plain old science that you know.

[...] This is an extremely important point.

[...] All of these points are extremely important, and if I speak slowly it is to insure words as nearly correct as possible. [...]

[...] Here again consideration of dreams in terms of action should make this point fairly clear.

(Jane began to cry when she recounted the time at home a few years ago when she couldn’t get up and on her feet — finally reaching that point of helplessness. I got mad at her and yelled, saying I’d leave her sitting there if she didn’t get up — thus displaying my own deep fears that we had reached a sad and desperate point in the course of the symptoms. [...]

[...] The free association is valuable because it helps to point out those conflicting feelings and beliefs, brings them into consciousness, and into the present moment, where they can indeed be understood in the light of knowledge that has been acquired since — but not been allowed to act upon the old conflicting beliefs.

[...] Nor would I think of shattering a window to prove so paltry a point as the existence of my own unlimited vitality and energy. [...] My only point in such unseeming [sic] and undignified, unbusinesslike and unconventional demonstration—I would make a poor bank president—my only point is to let you know that existence knows no barriers and a breeze and ease through blood and bone are born [sic]. [...]

[...] Those episodes, however, represent one of the ways in which man can actively seek suffering as a means to another end, and it is beside the point to say that such activity is not natural, since it exists within nature’s framework.

[...] I have but one more point to make: Each person’s experience of a painful nature is also registered on the part of what we will call the world’s mind. [...]

[...] We had great fun, and used to play such games to the point of exhaustion.

On the one hand, man did indeed feel that he had fallen from a high estate, because he remembered that earlier freedom of dream reality—a reality in which the other creatures were still to some degree (underlined) immersed.³ Man’s mind, incidentally, at that point had all the abilities that you now assign to it: the great capacity for contrast of imagination and intellect, the drive for objectivity and for subjectivity (softly), the full capacity for the development of language—a keen mind that was as brilliant in any caveman, say, as it is in any man on a modern street.

[...] He instantly began to explore (pause), to categorize, to point out and to name the other creatures of the earth as they came to his attention.

[...] I’ll try to remember to ask Seth to elaborate upon this point, although I also think he alludes to it later in this session.

[...] I was constantly appalled and amazed that she’d let her seemingly hopeless condition and situation drag on day after day, until such a crisis point as we now faced was reached, where we now had little room to maneuver. [...]

(I got a horrified reaction from Jane in the bedroom this morning when I’d mentioned the hospital to her, and that I was reaching a turning point in my struggles to care for her myself. [...]

(Her statement represented an important point, one that I wasn’t too sharp in appreciating at the moment, so poor was my own outlook. [...]

(Jane had a call from Tam Mossman at Prentice-Hall today, during which we obtained some confirmation on points made by Seth in a recent session. [...]

[...] The main events of a civilization are chosen by its people, but because a course is begun this does not mean that it cannot at any point be changed.

[...] was unavailable, the point being that Prentice-Hall would like a name to do the intro. [...]

[...] I saw only a forest of helmets and spears pointing upward, with light glinting dully on metal here and there. [...]

[...] I feel (as Seth mentioned in the 721st session) that I wasn’t Nebene, or two different Roman soldiers per se, but rather that my whole self chose to manifest such personalities together; that I, too, am such a manifestation at a “later” time, then, and that from my own vantage point I can tune in to those other lives. [...]

[...] He also cleared up a few points for me. [...]

[...] I’ll close this appendix with two more queries that psychically are much more personal and very intriguing: Had Peter Smith viewed the same events on that tower in Jerusalem from the vantage point of the soldier who killed my soldier? [...]

(The session was a long one and will not be described in detail here, except for a couple of points I would note for possible future reference. [...]

[...] Marian’s concern over her approaching operation entered in here, and Seth used this concern to make his main points of the evening. [...]

(After lunch I reminded Jane that a very important point to remember is the return, the beginning, of a number of her automatic gestures and impulses that she’d let go years ago. [...]

[...] It was also one of those occasions where I wondered why I hadn’t seen the obvious—obvious only when it was pointed out by another.... [...]

[...] The main point of the dream, however, was that a portion of you was reminding you of abilities that you had. [...]

[...] That you form the universe as you know it en masse and individually from the focal point of this moment, from the focus of this moment that all of your selves exist now and are not done and finished anymore than you are done and finished. [...]
