“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Certain integers belie their own position, and cast shadows into other dimensions.

[...] The positives are scattered.

[...] (Jane now sat with her head back, eyes closed; the position seemed to make it more difficult for her to speak.) Untold miseries over the authorship. [...]

[...] He sat in the chair now, without shifting its position; when he rocked back and forth the floor creaked.

(Once again—by 8:47—Jane was very uncomfortable, trying again and again to find a tolerable position in her chair so that she could hold the session. [...]

[...] The intellect (long pause, eyes closed) disapproves of certain feelings and emotions because the intellect, allied with (pause) the social aspects of reality, thinks in terms of a public face, or respectability, of its position with other adults in the world. [...]

[...] He thinks he fears relaxing because then he will do nothing—but instead he is afraid of letting go because he fears he will go too far, and put himself in an unsafe position in the world. [...]

(Long pause at 9:55.) Because the two of you are so involved, your own position is bound to change, and in years previous—to some extent, now—you also felt that certain portions of Ruburt’s personality should indeed be held in protective custody. [...]

[...] The symptoms served to slow him down psychically, while he mentally considered his position.

[...] Neither of you have really wanted to be free to go on trips, to be in a position where you must decide whether or not you wanted to speak here or there. [...]

[...] In still greater terms, each life experience is unique so that it is literally impossible to put labels, such as “positive” or “negative” upon any aspect of experience, so keep this in mind also.

You must start from your present position, of course, but there is no person who cannot better his or her position to a considerable degree, if the effort is made to follow through with the kind of new hypotheses that we will here suggest. [...]

Ruburt can start at his present position, as each person must begin with the situation at hand. [...]

[...] His position was a poor one, yet its freedoms and limitations were known, and his value, whatever it was, was accepted as his station in life. [...]

[...] What they did was establish equal starting lines for an incredible race in which each began with an equal position and then tried to outdo the other, freed of the class distinctions that had previously hampered them. [...]

In many past societies, soothsayers, dream experts, poets and artists were the most revered members, for they constantly replenished man’s creative abilities, allowed him to see his position within society and in the natural world with fresh eyes. [...]

[...] Then what an outrage do you work against yourself when you try to justify your position in terms of money or worth according to the most parochial limits and social expectations of your time. [...]

[...] I wanted him to leave before he was offered the position. It may not, the position may not really mean much to him, but its acceptance by him was taken as a sign of his willingness to accept conditions at the gallery, and his resignation will not be as understandable to those there as it would have been earlier.

[...] The figure inside represented the actuality; that is, what seemed to be an opportunity would instead end up as a dead end, a threatening and stagnant position. The male figure represented the director, who offered the new position. [...]

[...] The position was threatening because it represented a possible dilution of his energies from his main objective of writing, into a superficial ego satisfaction, which would have left him basically not only unsatisfied but personally betrayed.

So after getting to the position that yes, these ideas are factual (or even, larger than facts) is okay, good—but only part of the picture, and the premise could actually be misleading and limiting.... [...]

[...] The Seth material is supposed to put us in a different psychic position where the problems are solved automatically or are at least diminished or do not apply.... [...]

[...] Three months before a proper position. [...]

[...] I assume that this is the connection with the building mentioned and the three months prior to a proper position. [...]

If you hold out your position will be strengthened. [...] He is not in a position to, and his own position has changed. [...]

[...] (Pause.) He is no longer in a position to hinder you. [...]

[...] People will not be personally hurt if you honestly state your position. In fact, your ambiguity puts them in an odd position, for you say one thing and mean another. [...]

The ligaments do their utmost, releasing spasmodically to the utmost at times in an exercising capacity, then go back to a position that is operationally practical, while representing an improvement over an earlier position. [...]

In your position, then, Friday night could be a time when your friends know you are available, free, and looking forward to sociability. [...]

[...] I am simply asking that you not give the subconscious too many issues to deal with at once, and the last part of each session should always reinforce any positive steps you have made and end with a few, very brief, clear positive suggestions.

Then he feels that he is in at best an ambiguous position, for the world continues doing as it will, and his correspondents, solving one problem, immediately write with another. [...]

It was important that Ruburt state his position, for example, by saying clearly that the symptoms threatened him, and that they threatened him more than any scorn, and important also that he state that the symptoms inhibited his writing. [...]

[...] The North-South position is still the best body position, though other positions may be used. [...]

[...] You saw no one in this position (in the chair), and physically not even a chair was here. At another level however Ruburt was projecting a portion of his psyche outward, and from his own position viewing us at least to some extent.

[...] Following this in a period of usual activity (the same evening), he sensed his own image speaking for me and sitting across the couch from him in our (Seth’s) accustomed position. [...]

[...] He believes in communicating through words, and he believes particularly in communicating “in a positive manner.” [...]

It is legitimate enough, but whatever other feelings you might have had of a more positive nature you did not express, and so your day began on that note. [...]

Now: use of the chair is important because it does increase his mobility in this stage; but also because it exercises the knees while the rest of the body is in a comparatively normal position, with the back, shoulders, and head fairly upright. [...]

[...] Part of this becomes more noticeable as he looks upward more, say, in the cupboard, and as he changes the positions of his neck far more often.

Before, relatively speaking, each portion of the body reinforced the position of each other portion in such a manner that little leeway was possible. Ruburt now is at the stage where each portion of the body takes a more positive, active position, and gently nudges each other part to greater freedom. [...]

[...] In his particular case, as mentioned, the knees and legs are allowed far greater exercise than before, while the body is in a more or less normal position.

[...] (In the area of my condition we aren’t creative, daring,or innovative.) Improvements should not be considered against absolutes, but in the light of my position. [...]

[...] Jane’s Seth voice was stronger and more positive than usual, I thought, with considerable emphasis at times.)

[...] I thought it contained very positive and hopeful material — for some reason it really hit home. [...]

All practical healing deals with the insertion of positive suggestions and the removal of negative ones. [...] In other words, they are literally implanted with positive suggestions, biologically nurtured, so to that extent it is true to say that in a certain fashion negative suggestions are unnatural, leading away from life’s primary goals. [...]

[...] A certain number of birds shuttled back and forth within the formation at any one moment, changing their positions for reasons unknown to us, “talking” all the while. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The consciousness that you know can indeed now emerge into even greater realization of itself, but not by obsessively defending its old position. [...]

You have put yourselves in a position where your consciousness must now become aware of the probable pasts and probable futures, in order to form for yourselves a sane, fulfilling, and creative present.

[...] You are in a position where your private experience of yourself does not correlate with what you are told by your societies, churches, sciences, archaeologies, or other disciplines. [...]

[...] Certainly the events were healthy and positive, compared to our earlier ways of thinking and reacting. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s position has been conciliatory, and encouraged protection above expression.

[...] In certain terms, such new understanding can also bring its own stresses and strains, simply because such individuals must of necessity find themselves ahead of their times, and in a different position than they were in before with their normal accepted reality.

[...] He should, again, perhaps with your help, now write a new list of his accomplishments, and also of his positive characteristics, so that he keeps self-approval in mind, and your compliments when he does look well are always helpful.
