“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You exist, therefore, now within this reality as present and immediate as you are now—although, in my terms, more than fifty centuries of your time has elapsed since your seemingly present existence. [...]

[...] There has been energy present in this room, and strong energy, this evening. [...]

Know that within your physical atoms now the origins of all consciousness still sings and that all the human characteristics by which you know yourselves, still exist within the eye of all our consciousness, never diminished, but always present. [...]

(Present: Sue and Ned Watkins, Theodore Muldoon [banker], Sally Benson [librarian], Brad Lanton [artist], Rose Cafford [older, grandmotherly], Lydia Dobbs [candy store owner], Vera Muldoon, Florence McIntyre [school teacher], Rachel Clayton [secretary].)

[...] When you say “no,” or deny, you always do so because in your mind and feelings, a present situation, or a proposed one, falls far short of some ideal. [...] But never negate the present reality of yourself because you compare it to some idealized perfection.

[...] Affirmation is the acceptance of yourself in your present as the person that you are. [...]

In this vision, the potential is seen as present, and the distance between the practical and the ideal forms no contradiction, since they coexist.

[...] These included probabilities, geography, and unusual interactions involving the past, present and future. [...]

[...] The sixth presentation is from a session held for a student in which Seth mentioned the Speakers for the first time.

[...] These represent the greater source-selves out of which your present persons spring. [...]

When you realize this, then you can accept seeming setbacks, or seeming contradictions, with a calm detached air, realizing that such factors appear as they do only in the light of your present intellectual knowledge—a knowledge that must be limited to current events—and that in the larger picture known to you at other levels, such seeming contradictions, or seemingly unfortunate situations, or whatever, will be seen to be to your advantage. [...]

[...] Early man was in that same position, and his inventions—his tools, his artistry, and so forth—came into being from the inner, ever-present realm of the mind, triggered by his unconscious but quite real estimation of his position within the universe at large, and in regard to his own environment.

[...] The knower is of course always present, but the part of your culture that is built upon the notion that no such inner knowledge exists, and those foolish ideas of rational thought as the only provider of answers, therefore often limit your own use of inner abilities.

[...] For the present, and near future, they would work out well.

He should at present to some small extent decrease the salt in his diet. [...]

(Regarding the data on page 260: John said Seth’s description of an Andy Gump type fits a salesman in his company named John Winslow and that JW was present at the Rochester meeting three weeks ago, during which time the transformation took place in the features of John’s district supervisor. [...]

(John said Seth’s description of a younger man with a Slavic face and short prickly hair fits Bob Dineen, another salesman also present at the Rochester meeting. [...]

[...] Tam called her Friday; he’d received the James presentation, and was most enthusiastic, which cheered Jane a great deal. [...]

At your present “working level,” Ruburt goes through a series of beneficial physical changes, of posture, body alignment, release of muscles. [...]

[...] All of this applies in the terms in which you are now working—that is, in your present framework.

[...] I do not want you to suddenly expect in Framework 1 sudden, normal activity on Ruburt’s part, or to compare his present behavior against that standard. [...]

(From here on Seth’s material leads into more generalized information, so it’s presented as the 871st session. [...] An extra carbon of the notes describing that event are presented with the 871st session.)

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

[...] But the important thing is that that desire is now present, and will certainly bear results — good ones. [...]

(Long pause at 9:05.) He is presently encountering that kind of feeling, uncovering the reasons for it, and trying to recapture in a way the very young innocent self’s sense of faith. [...]

[...] In each person’s life, and in your own, at each and every point of your existence, the solutions to your problems, or the means of achieving those solutions, are always as apparent, or rather as present, within your days as is any given problem itself. [...]

[...] We are trying to not observe, as much as appreciate, the nature of your present existence; so those of you who are curious and willing about the nature of nonphysical reality then follow as far as you can, using the voice as a guideline into existence that has no reality in physical terms, that knows neither blood nor tissue, that knows not hand or finger or arm. [...]

You are playing games now, acting in plays that you call present times and you take your roles very seriously, but there are other dramas going on at the same time. [...]

(She added that her situation this evening was like the one mentioned by her in the material presented in Appendix 5. She was open to my suggestions: If I prompted her, she could go right into a session and get the information. [...]

[...] But then, for some years Seth has been reiterating that even in our terms there is no well-defined evolutionary path leading from our ancient state to our present one.)

That is, not only would they be aware of what seems to you to be past, present and future within your system, but they would be aware of several other systems and be able to function within them simultaneously, gaining and creating experience within all of these systems, even while maintaining overall identity. [...] This is as far as we can carry this at present.

[...] Infinity contains all that will ever be known, and, of course, all that will ever be known is known within the spacious present.

[...] Karma presents the opportunity for development; to make use of opportunities that were not taken advantage of, to fill in gaps of ignorance, to enlarge understanding through experience, to do what should be done.

Through the change of roles, Peg now gains insight on the past failures, and also helps her present husband, indeed, to become more contemplative, and to seek for answers to questions that he would not have asked otherwise. [...]

Such a situation allows John’s present wife to telescope the experience needed into one life-situation, to delve deeply, and face at once problems that could otherwise take several existences.

[...] The same material presented fictionally would not bother him at all. [...]

The difference is this: he was not presenting the poetry as truth for people to follow.

Many ideas are being presented in Oversoul Seven to get around that difficulty. [...]

[...] At least Seth wasn’t overtly present. [...] [The material itself is presented as Appendix 6.]

[...] The picture can be from the past or the present, but try to see it as a snapshot of a self poised in perfect focus, emerging from an underneath dimension in which other probable pictures could have been taken. [...]

[...] Somehow, immersed in all of that minutiae of the past, I revive it so that it becomes part of the present once more — and that coexistence then reminds me of Seth’s idea of simultaneous time; perhaps, outside of dreaming, it’s the best approximation I can make of the paradoxical notion that all exists at once, and that all changes together, for each time I regard one of my past moments from the present, I change both that past and the present.

[...] But except for such minor alterations, or in the case of personal information, which we may delete, Seth’s material is presented as received, and we never arbitrarily eliminate any of it — occasionally to the pain of others, I’m afraid. We think it important that these sessions be given just as Jane delivers them, for after all the manner of that presentation, and its organization, are vital parts of the whole Seth phenomenon. [...]

[...] According to him, these “entity names” mean only that in our present lives we identify more with the male aspects of our entities, or whole selves — which in themselves are neither male or female, but contain within them a number of other selves [of both sexes] to whom we’re related, or a part of, reincarnationally and otherwise.

That progression in Jane’s endeavors (and in my own to a lesser degree) may reflect her strong writing and psychic abilities, but it also reveals the way we constantly work with her work, and how we go about presenting it in the form of physical books so that we can show others what we’ve been up to.

[...] I even have the chapter presentations; and if I mention my friends you may or may not recognize yourselves, for I shall present you through my own eyes and not through Ruburt’s.

Then you would understand more about your present inner attitudes ... [...]

[...] Then the present...”

[...] In your terms therefore, I see both your present and future selves, though probabilities operate.

[...] He was, she said, having a hard time presenting it. [...]

[...] Portions of it do deal with camouflage patterns, with the personal past of the present personality, with racial camouflage memories; and the greater portion belongs to the inner world, and as data comes into it from the inner world, so can it reach far into the inner world itself.

[...] The camouflage is simply not present.

[...] And for the present I am using Ruburt’s voice, making no effort to superimpose my own. [...]

[...] There are two triangles which have merged into one, for one is involved with the present, and one with the future. The present triangle concerns the interpretation which you have made, and your immediate superior is the man who falls.

[...] In your present there is the immediate triangle of which I have spoken. In your present there is also a triangle symbolizing those now at the top of the structure, and there is movement there also, and a man will fall. [...]

[...] All of this is dependent upon the initial triangle in the present, that I have described.

[...] For the present at least I bid you a fond good afternoon. [...]

[...] “So that in itself is something spectacular,” I said, meaning her present developments.
