“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] This of course presupposes the fact that the symptoms are present to alarm him. [...]

[...] Often I could not get through to him, but now I will tell him that I will be present.

This evening’s present symptoms are the result of the fact that Friday is already thought of as a school day. [...]

Tonight’s session isn’t book dictation, but the large portions of it I’m presenting convey useful insights into our social behavior and social health—and as I show in Note 1, those states can include our interactions with animals.

[...] So some indispositions “caused by viruses” are accepted by the body as welcome triggers, to clean out that system, and this applies to your present indispositions.

“The viruses and infections were of course present. [...]

[...] Imagine the emotional reality of each person present, in the time that the photograph was taken. [...] When you are finished, try to get a glimpse of those intimate relationships that each person had with other persons not present in the picture, but contemporary. [...]

[...] At another level, your body and your experience is a far richer fulfillment, a living, presently experienced materialization. [...]

[...] In those terms life is a spoken element, while death is the unspoken but still-present element “beneath,” upon which life rides. Both are equally present.

[...] Present ones alter past ones. [...]

[...] By equating it with youth in your mind you deny it to yourself in your present, and therefore deny yourself energy that is (underlined three times) available to be used.

(This sounds very much like the use of what Seth calls the third, fourth and fifth inner senses: Perception of past, present, and future; the conceptual sense; cognitionof knowledgeable tissue. Material on these senses was presented in the 35-38th sessions.)

The individual was also bewildered however because he was able to perceive you in what you would call both your future and your past, as well as your present.

He perceived that a portion of you was bound, however, within your present time, and this was almost incomprehensible to him.

(The test results this evening present a case where two separate events are combined in the results, as will be explained a bit later. [...]

When the inverted time system is understood for what it is, then the individual is in contact simultaneously with the experience gained in the so-called past, and is also able to take advantage of events which have not yet occurred within your present. [...] He is constantly forming the events of the past, even as he forms the events of the present and future.

(Seth had the interesting comment to make that he had looked out at us from Jane’s eyes during the evening, along with Jane, and that he saw us as individuals instead of composite electromagnetic images embodying our pasts, presents, and futures. [...]

[...] As is often the case when witnesses are present she seemed to draw upon extra energy; her pace was fast from the start, and her voice stronger and somewhat deeper than usual.)

[...] During break we discussed John’s company, Searle Drug, which is in the throes of financial difficulties compounded by management problems; Seth has discussed this often when John has been present, and to date his statements have been accurate.

Individual life, or the life of the present individual, could be legitimately compared to the dream of an entity. [...]

The part that translates inner data sifts it down through the subconscious, which is a barrier and also a threshold to the present personality as it operates on the camouflage plane. [...]

There is also a corresponding, but lesser, self-consciousness that connects your present personalities with the dream world, which is aware of its origin and communicates data from you to it. [...]

[...] There is however one point along these lines I would like to make, and that is that your present father impeded his own inner development, and stunted it, through an unwillingness to face challenges in the outside world.

Nevertheless in his case an excess, fervent nature has always been in existence, and even now his enthusiasms are extremely fervent, and although a humorous exterior personality now shows its face, nevertheless the extremely authoritative and sometimes too rigid nature holds the personality presently in bounds.

There religious interests, therefore, are repeated in the present personality, but efforts are made to tie these ideas into the world of so-called reality. [...]

I have also said that space travel, so-called, will of necessity deviate from its present concern with vehicles. [...]

I have explained to you how the inner self is connected to the present personality, and how the emotions at your end change through the layers of the subconscious, begin in your plane as parts of the personality, and as part of your force field, and then are transformed and become the inner-sense connective that connects the outer ego to the inner self.

(Tonight’s unscheduled session is arbitrarily divided into two parts in order to present the envelope test data first. [...] The rest of the session material is presented in summary form in Part Two.

(Any trouble that developed would be the result of present trends involving Leonard, and at this time these trends were so general it was impossible to pinpoint future events with any certainty. If the present trends were changed, the personality of the future trouble would change also. [...]

[...] Some of the material was of course obtained while the Gallaghers were present, and was in actuality intermingled with the test data discussed in Part One. [...]

[...] The present trend would have to continue before trouble really was a possibility. [...]

[...] I am speaking in your terms of experience, for in each word spoken in your present, you evoke that past time, or you stimulate it into existence so that its reality and yours are coexistent.

In dreams even the past is in present tense. [...]

[...] If you become proficient in the use of the third Inner Sense [perception of past, present, and future] when cognition is more or less spontaneous, then you can utilize the conceptual sense with more freedom. [...]

[...] Bill and Peggy Gallagher were present, and Ann Diebler, and Don and Marilyn Wilbur. [...]

[...] We have now decided to present Seth’s hits and near misses only, plus Seth’s data on the Washington experiment, in one of the sessions falling due the week after this.

[...] A woman seems to be the main hostess, though a man is present with her.

Dr. Instream is present, in an absent-minded way. [...]

[...] But their reactions are entirely different, and Philip’s past life experiences prepared him for the nature of his present occupation, where he is dealing with medicinal matters.

(John Bradley has witnessed the following sessions: 37, 54, 63, 70, 95, 135, and 166, the present one. [...]

[...] It is presently a small firm, comparatively speaking, but it will expand drastically within a short time. [...]

If he uses his patience it will be for his best advantage, everything taken into consideration, to remain with his present company, and his impatience will not serve him well if he leaps too fast.

(The five dreams occurred on the evenings of October 27, November 19, December 1, December 3, and December 8. Since Seth deals only with dreams of November 19, December 1, and December 8, only these will be presented here from my dream notebook. Seth calls them dreams number 1, 2, and 3. The two dreams not given here are closely similar to the three presented below.

(Jane and I think the following material an excellent example of the way Seth interprets dreams, and it is presented in full. [...]

The first dream stated the situation as you saw it at present. [...]

[...] A previous inclination to gluttony had once led him to some slight gout, and in the present case there was a swelling of the feet.

[...] The knee symptoms were a later development in this present series of symptoms, his way of punishing himself for his previous lack of understanding. [...]

[...] Ruburt was often a male, and he sometimes attempts to manhandle the feminine aspects of his present personality, to inflict upon it literally qualities that go against its grain. [...]

[...] He mistrusted the most reliable portion of his present personality. [...]

[...] I do not mean to minimize the importance of your present personalities, nor of physical existence. [...]

[...] Your personality as you now know it will indeed persevere, and with its memories, but it is only a part of your entire identity, even as your childhood in this life is an extremely important part of your present personality, though now you are far more than a child.

(Pause at 10:56.) To your question: The book could be written on consecutive evenings, as well as with our present method. [...]

[...] They do not perceive all of the elements that are available even in three-dimensional experience, yet your present consciousness — seemingly so much more sophisticated — physically rests upon cellular awareness.

[...] Your own present identity contains the knowledge and “memory” of all those simultaneous existences, even as the cells in their way retain memory of all those physical structures which they (have) formed. [...]

In your terms, if you believe that you chose illness to compensate for a past-life deficiency, then it will help you to realize that you form your reality now in your present, and can therefore change it.

The Mafia dream (of March 16) based on the gangsters’ series, for example, served to bring into conscious awareness not just the information, but Ruburt’s feelings about the dominant male role in your present culture. [...]

Your own interest in (flower)seeds right now presents you with an excellent example of the natural person’s inclination to seek out fresh stimulation, and to ally itself, however innocently, with those forces of natural creativity. [...]

(Long pause.) I am trying to connect present and past here in a very important manner, so that Ruburt can understand his own psychic roots, for they are indeed the basic ones, and that understanding is as important to his development now as any other material that I might give. [...]

[...] Biologically you must live in the present.

Living each day at a time, you respond to the present, and you need not in one day protect yourself from a lifetime of projected distractions or threats to your time that must, in your day, be imaginary, since they are probable events from the future.

[...] Your beliefs in the power of the present, and in Ruburt’s recovery, as stated lately in these sessions, must, however, outbalance your doubts.
