History is written according to the present beliefs of a historian in his time. [...]

[...] You are everywhere presented with the evidence. [...]

[...] As long as you think that your physical information about the world, through newspapers and so forth, presents a fairly adequate, objective view of events, then all of the evidence to the contrary will literally be invisible, for you will continue to organize your view of the world in the old way. [...]

[...] There is no one present who can confirm the newspaper’s evidence. [...]

[...] They exist simultaneously with the present personality, but the present personality as a rule cannot pick them up, so to speak. [...]

[...] When the polarities are changed however in reverse fashion, the present ego follows its attraction to the subconscious, and the two are more or less united.

[...] Physical examination of them only discloses their condition in the present. [...]

[...] I believe this will be of benefit, at least for the present. [...]

[...] At first, there was a difficulty in separating the remembered image from the moment in the present. Man’s mind then struggled to contain many images — past, present, and future imagined ones — and was forced to correlate these in any given moment of time. [...]

The birth of imagination initiated the largest possibilities, and at the same time put great strain upon the biological creature whose entire corporeal structure would now react not only to present objective situations, but imaginative ones. [...]

You attempt then to further banish the characteristic enjoyment of your own creaturehood, denying the lusty spirituality of your flesh and the strong present corporeal leanings of your soul. [...]

The gradations of intensities are so minute that it would be impossible to measure them, and yet each field contains in coded form the actual living reality of endless eons; contains therefore what you would call the past, present and future of unnumbered universes; contains the actual coded data of any and every consciousness that has been or will be, in any universe; those that have appeared to vanish, and those which seemingly do not yet exist.

In our past sessions I have explained time distortions, and you are familiar with the spacious present. [...]

(See the 41st session for material on the spacious present.)

[...] Our present procedure is working out very well, and it is enabling me to discuss matters that were too complicated for our earlier method. [...]

You will be present and a member of the second meeting. You may or may not be a member of the caucus but you will be present at the caucus.

[...] The product is in the works, so to speak, but that is all at present.

[...] The present treatment being for a kidney or intestinal ailment. [...]

[...] With physical conditions already apparent in the present, you can at least realize that while these present you with a certain evidence, the evidence will indeed change—and can change, and is changing the minute that you realize that the evidence, while present, is not inevitably all the evidence available. [...]

[...] As I asked Jane the other day when she talked of resuming work on that project: “Can you stand any more complications?” I meant of course, that after 17 books, we’re at our present situation, so I have difficulty understanding how doing another book will suddenly, magically, turn anything around for us as long as we stay on the same old course. [...]

Now I want you all to know, and it will please you no end, that you have an authority present, for I was a pope in 300 AD. [...]

[...] The fact that it does only apply to your system need not presently concern you. [...]

[...] Any such intervention would only occur on the part of a personality who was, for the present time, physical. [...]

[...] A past pope is better than a present one. [...]

[...] They are expressed by many cultures and religions, esoteric groups and cults from the past, and continuing into the present. [...]

Your dream did indeed deal with changing the past and the past beliefs, and therefore with inserting a new present, and a newer future. [...]

I may or may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I speak, but know that I am present and approachable.

[...] She said she felt that Seth may have alluded to our improving our relations as a nation with Iran, though this may be hard to believe at present. [Actually, according to the dictionary, the present country of Afghanistan was part of the ancient Persian Empire.]

Now I may or may not return, according to those rhythms of which I speak, but I am present and approachable. [...]

[...] Presently you can reinforce each other’s lack of confidence. [...]

A past death does not bother them, but the contemplation of a future reincarnation implies the death within this present life, and is largely avoided.

[...] Those futures in your terms so affect the present, however, that vast confusion would result with any mass knowledge. [...]

[...] There were three witnesses present: Audrey Shepherd, Ruth Chatfield, and Venice McCullough. [...]

(The unique thing here is that this is Jane’s first session at which I was not present. [...]

[...] There were three witnesses present: Andrea Bergere, Rose Cafford and Florence McIntyre. [...]

([Rob]The unique thing here is that this is Jane’s first session at which I was not present. [...]

[...] Yet these limits themselves were set, or if you prefer, chosen, by the entity itself for any given present personality; and at the entity level free choice or free will is much more extensive, and really has much more meaning.

[...] Her explanation had sounded better than mine, and tallied closely with Seth’s presentation above. [...]

[...] This certainly should not be strange to you, since you know that even your present personalities can to some extent escape from clock time through the use of psychological time. [...]

You use abilities, and so does Joseph, that cannot be used effectively at this present stage simultaneously with outer egotistical intellectual judgments. [...]

(Now that idea, I thought as I went into the kitchen to get Jane some wine for the session, made sense—it could account for the perpetuation of her symptoms on a daily, present-life basis, and made a lot more sense than thinking she was suffering now because of something that happened to her when she was perhaps eight years old or whatever. In other words, I said, we’d been approaching the problem backwards: Jane wasn’t sick so much because of her past as she was because of what we were doing every day in present reality—reinforcing and/or perpetuating the symptoms because they served a number of beliefs about present-day reality. [...]

[...] I reminded her of the stories one hears about the chronically ill, who run from doctor to doctor with no intention of getting well, because their illness serves purposes in the present. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) In the meantime, all of the issues we have mentioned as being connected with Ruburt’s symptoms of course were present to one extent or another, in abeyance. [...]

(I added another thought—that often lately I’ve reminded myself that I’m 10 years older than she is; at 62 I’ve managed during the last decade to say “the hell with it” to a lot of things that I used to pay a lot of attention to when I was 52, Jane’s present age. [...]

[...] No one with those initials for instance was present on the evening the object was shown about. [...] The Wilburs and Gallaghers being present that Friday night, November 25,1966.

As I have mentioned many times, at present you focus your attentions and consciousness within the physical system. [...]

[...] It must become a part of the organization of the whole present identity, you see.

[...] The Gallaghers were also present. [...]

[...] The first was on Friday evening, December 23,1966, at the home of the Gallaghers, with the four of us present. Seth presented some very interesting material on flying saucers, time, other systems, etc. [...]

(The second session was held at our apartment Friday evening, December 30, with Jane and me, Wesley Swan, Bill Macdonnel, Pat Norelli and Claire Crittenden present. [...]

[...] For the present, the following substitutes or changes of diet are recommended for him.

[...] The drawing of the pigeon was among a group I had exhibited at the gallery at the time the Kecks were present; they saw it and admired it. [...]

[...] This means that you are far better able to utilize unconscious knowledge, and also to acquaint the unconscious with your present physical situation.

As your present situation with all of its challenges, joys and problems is contained in condensed form within each of your days, so the same applies to your life. [...]

MY PRESENT ENVIRONMENT,
WORK, AND ACTIVITIES

My present existence is the most challenging one that I have known, and I have known many, both physical and nonphysical. [...]

My work in this environment provides far more challenge than any of you know, and it also necessitates the manipulation of creative materials that are nearly beyond your present comprehension. [...]

[...] Jane began speaking as Seth at 11:45 PM, continued until about 12:15 AM, took a break during which the Gallaghers left, then resumed briefly, from about 12:30 to 12:45 AM with the Wilburs present. [...]

[...] Don never did see about the job he was thinking of, in December, because his present employment kept him too busy during the winter months. [...]

[...] He did say that Don would leave his present job because it offered no opportunities for advancement, and that he would try three other positions before he settled into one he really liked. [...]

[...] As stated, two sets of witnesses had been present. [...]

[...] These concepts alone do alter your present consciousness, and change it in degree. The present idea of the soul, you see, is a “primitive” idea that can scarcely begin to explain the creativity or reality from which mankind’s being comes. [...]

[...] The limited I-structure that you presently identify with selfhood is simply not capable of fully using all of those characteristics.

Your idea of one soul, one self, forms a significance and a selectivity that blinds you to these other realities that are as much “here and now” as your present self. [...]

[...] Your consciousness straddles those existences, and even the atoms and molecules within your present body contain the coded knowledge of those other (really simultaneous) forms. [...]
