“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, putting these two statements together, you see that an individual will perceive basic reality, in the main, only from his own reference point, and through his outer sense apparatus. [...]

These incidents in the past, that appear as the original initiation of an illness, they represent points, or kinks, where energy is not smoothly used, but tends to bunch up because of a resistance. [...]

[...] The point of resistance becomes woven into the personality framework, the problem being not of the subconscious, but again of the ego’s denial or attempt to deny a portion of its own reality.

He was certainly encouraged, and by his mother, to pursue the ways of inward intellectual freedoms, up to a point; but he was early inculcated with the expectation that the outside world meant danger at the least, and tragedy more probably.

[...] Another small point. [...]

This sort of experience is much more practical when used before you are really driven to it, and you are not at that point by any means. [...]

[...] I simply wanted to make the point, as an aside.

[...] What good does it do to go out?” before you have allowed enough time, and without even acknowledging that Ruburt has lost his fear, which is the most important point of all (and which I haven’t realized)—for from that all else will follow.

You withdraw your support at that point, you find all kinds of reasons, rationalizations, and you withdraw all enthusiasm, so that you effectively inhibit his enthusiasm, so hard won. [...]

Instead you get to the point where the emotion barely surfaces and you say “Oh, yes, that came from such and such.” [...]

Make it a point then to encourage your own expression of emotion, and Ruburt’s. Do you want a break?

[...] Jane advanced to the point where she was able to translate some of this as we went along and the end product, in part, was some excellent poetry.

[...] There are a few lapses, but overall he is changing that habit—and the point of power has helped him considerably there. [...] There is a line in the point of power material to that regard.

[...] He is very touchy on that point, and yet he becomes very angry if people try to make truth too practical. [...]

I want to make these points because Ruburt’s physical condition in part was the result of his feelings that left alone, in good condition, he might resort to “extreme behavior.”

[...] There will be no problem with the walking, and in a short time these complete processes will be at a point where he will consistently want to do more walking on a day-by-day basis. [...]

The dream was meant to do two things: point out the fears that were still present, and to show you that though present, they were groundless. [...]

[...] A triangle with a feeling of height, or the apex or high point of an episode.” As stated, Jane felt this referred to her election as president of the Day Students Council—the high point of her college tenure as far as honors went. [...]

I was after this mountain shape, which seemed to be triangular, a triangle with the feeling of height, or the apex or high point of an episode.

[...] Jane pointed out that, as in the case of McFarland, bear could be derived from the name of one of the girls mentioned on the front of the object: Orlyn Barron. [...]

[...] Other times, they are the results of your own ignorance at any given point and basically unnecessary. [...] Now, if you learn from these, then from your standpoint, this is a point of growth and you progress. [...]

Now, briefly last evening, in a chapter of my own book, we were discussing probabilities and I want you to understand a few points along these lines. [...]

[...] It has gotten to the point now where, I get up there and I am already to say, ‘God bless you’ at the end of the service, and I’m almost ready to say  ‘such blessings as I have to give’ and I really have begun to see now, how absurd the whole practice, not that specifically, but the whole rigmarole had been over the years. [...]

[...] In this envelope experiment Seth again used the actual object as a jumping-off point for some of his data, and this is a case in point. [...]

[...] Remember some of the main points I gave you on probabilities. [...]

You must remember the material I gave you concerning moment points, and the nature of action. [...]

Not only are you blind beyond a certain arbitrary point, so that the straight line seems cut off and the action completed, but you are blind to all the other directions, you see, that our ball could and does take.

[...] It appeared that this session would be another of the kind wherein Seth tries very hard to make accurate points; they usually leave Jane quite tired. [...]

This will be a vital point in later discussions. [...]

It still, however, merely represents the base point of achievement, a necessary first step along the way. [...]

No point.

We asked Seth about these points in a later session, and got some very interesting answers: “A portion is always connected to the whole of which it is part,” he said. [...]

[...] (According to Rob’s notes, I pointed to one of my own closed eyes. [...]

Up to this point the impressions had come through with no concern on my part. [...]

[...] I didn’t know—and at that point I couldn’t figure it out. [...]

[...] … When he asked it, he was referring to the point at which self-consciousness entered into so-called inert form. You know, now, that all form has consciousness, and so there was no point at which self-consciousness entered with the sound of trumpets, so to speak. [...]

While there was no specific entry point as far as human consciousness was concerned, there was a point (in your terms) where it did not seem to exist. [...]

[...] What I am trying to point out here is this supreme egotistical presumption that self-consciousness must of necessity involve humanity per se. [...]

[...] The point remains, however, that man became so fascinated with it that he has ignored the parts of himself that make the ego possible, and he ignores those portions of himself that give to the ego the very powers of which he is so consciously proud. [...]

(I found Jane very blue—even to the point of a few tears—when I got to 330 this afternoon. [...]

(“That’s a good point to keep in mind,” I said, “about sitting on the edge of the bed.” [...]

[...] She’d become upset as the time passed, for our conversations more and more stressed the fact, without our overtly laboring the point, that our situation is, in our minds at least, rather hopeless. [...]

[...] The point is that the healing we want, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, has to come from a deeper understanding and encounter with those powerful forces that brought about the situation to begin with.

[...] The most important point is to arouse such a person’s beliefs in his or her strength and power. [...]

If the image of a landscape appears instead, then ask for a series of such images, that will again somehow point the way toward recovery, or toward the resolution of the problem. [...]

[...] I do want to point out that all fetuses do not necessarily intend to develop into normal babies, and that if medical science, through its techniques, ends up in directing a normal birth, the consciousness of the child may never feel normally allied with physical experience.

I am not advising that malformed infants be killed, but I do want to point out that even in those most severe cases there is meaning in such conditions, and the consciousness involved then chooses another kind of experience.

Some point over the spending of nine dollars in particular, a five and four ones, something outrageously priced. [...]

[...] She felt as if she were projecting through time, rather than through space at the last; re: Seth’s moment points. [...]

[...] Now in the meantime there are a few points I would like to make that have not been given in this particular manner; connections that are important, between the nature of matter, your perception of it, and reincarnational existence. [...]

There are points of correlation between the two of which the conscious brain is not aware, and perceptions that do not consciously register. [...]

[...] I hesitate to point this out, or rather Ruburt is hesitating about letting me point this out, but your present father’s personality would not have been half as hampered had he allowed it such contact. [...]

[...] It is true at this point, under ordinary circumstances—that is ordinary for you—you cannot “see”—in quotes—my structure. [...]

[...] This should relieve your minds on this point.

(“What’s the point of ectoplasmic manifestations, anyway? [...]

[...] This presentation shows Seth’s way of weaving one subject through another as he inserts new discussions and information while building on past sessions, and points up his method of using Rob’s and my own daily experiences as a launching pad for his own material.

[...] I wasn’t sure of the word Seth or Jane used and didn’t press the point beyond one question which wasn’t answered …)

The evening’s material has come to a natural breaking-off point, but we have also reached some subjects that we have not discussed in previous sessions, and tonight’s session can serve as a preparation for later information. [...]
