“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] That species has as many offshoots and developments as you have privately. As there are probable selves in private terms, there are probable selves in terms of the species. [...]

[...] No matter how private the experience seems, someone else will have a connection with it. [...]

[...] Yet each location is as unique as the habitat of any animal — as private, as shared, as significant in terms of the individual and the species of which that individual is a part. [...]

(I think tonight’s private material came through, at least in part, because I reminded Jane today of Seth’s references to her in recent private sessions. [...]

[...] The discomfort in the groin/testicle area is much less, at times absent altogether, and I believe that my steady rereading of Seth’s recent private material for me has helped a great deal here. [...]

In time’s reference, the private purposes of each individual appear also in the larger historical context, so that each person forms his corner of his civilization—and all individuals within a given time period have private and overall purposes, challenges that are set, probable actions that they will try to place within history’s context.

[...] Those serve to organize individual action in a world where an infinite number of probable roads are open—and here again, private impulses are basically meant to guide each individual toward avenues of expression and probable activities suited best to his or her development. [...]

You live in private yet joint realities. [...]

[...] Thoughts of buying a house throw both of you into a quandary because they directly come in conflict with your private ideas about your work and purposes, and your places in the world.

[...] I bid you a fond good evening, but unless you do what I have said, and until you do, we will not have another private session, for you will not be ready for it.

You form your own reality privately, yet one cannot enforce a joint reality upon the other. I suggest therefore that each of you, privately or together, open your pathways to Framework 2, requesting simply that further insights will be given you—and so they will be.

“These institutions and disciplines are composed of individuals, each restrained by limiting ideas about their own private reality; and so it is with private reality that we will begin and always return. [...] The ideas in this book are meant to expand the private reality of each reader. [...]

Section 3: “The Private Probable Man, the Private Probable Woman, the Species in Probabilities, and Blueprints for Realities” — Nine sessions devoted to the importance of dreams in the creation of “concrete” events from probable ones. [...]

[...] I also want to present a few passages from both regular and private (or “deleted”) sessions that were held before, during, or after Seth-Jane’s actual production of “Unknown” Reality in its entirety. [...]

Section 1: “You and the ‘Unknown’ Reality” — Nine sessions describing how probabilities merge with the events of our private lives.

Private events of tragedy seem in a smaller context to happen without man’s knowledge or without his consent. [...] The world with its wars or disasters, its illnesses or poverty, its mass or private tragedies, seems to be thrust upon man or to happen—again without his consent.

[...] Man then understood that he did form his own reality in all of its aspects, both privately and en masse, and in terms of natural earth events, as well as for example the events of his society. [...]

If in your private subjective reality you label yourself, unthinkingly now, in too-limited a fashion, then you can see yourself for example as the isolated artist at the brunt of society, the misunderstood poet that must be protected from the world’s ways—mythic material that falls short. [...]

[...] These dramas are also privately worked out in the dream state. [...]

[...] In private dreams, men then related to the main figures in the drama, and in the dream state they recognized its true import.

[...] He literally was made flesh to dwell among you, for he forms your flesh in that he is responsible for the energy that gives vitality and validity to your private multidimensional self, which in turn forms your image in accordance with your own ideas.

This private multidimensional self, or the soul, has then an eternal validity. [...]

[...] Those involved have private reasons, however. The reasons, of course, vary from one individual to another, yet all involved “want their death to serve a purpose” beyond private concerns. [...]

[...] Why one in the family will die and another survive — for in this mass venture, the individual still forms his or her private reality.

[...] Your private mental states en masse bring about the mass cultural stance of your civilization. [...]

[...] During our private and book sessions Seth’s voice effects are usually quite conversational in tone and emphasis, and he speaks slowly enough so that I can comfortably take notes. [...]

(I’ll begin the private material with a paragraph that’s not strictly private, in order to set the scene—although actually Seth says little enough to me.

(Both of us were looking forward to some private material we’d asked for earlier today; Jane already “knew” that Seth would give it tonight, but first she wanted some dictation on Chapter Twenty. [...]

[...] As I mentioned earlier (in the 652nd session in Chapter Thirteen, for instance), the division is largely the result of your mass and private beliefs in the nature of reality, and in the habits the race has acquired of separating “objective” data from subjective.

They know, the animals, in a way that you cannot, that their private existences have a direct impact upon the nature of reality. [...]

When you believe in a universe accidentally formed, and when you think you are a member of a species accidentally spawned, then private life seems devoid of meaning, and events can seem chaotic. [...]

And as for books, early in August I returned to our publisher, Prentice-Hall, the page proofs Jane had corrected for her book of poetry: If We Live Again: Or, Public Magic and Private Love. Ordinarily that event would have delighted us, since it meant that before the year was out she’d have another work published. [...] Jane held a few widely scattered sessions for Dreams, and a number of private ones as fall came, then winter. [...] Finally, early in December 1981 I told Jane I was on the verge of refusing to sit with her for any sessions at all, regular or private, for I’d become deeply afraid that the more sessions she held the worse she’d get. [...]

[...] The entire issue had been going on for some time, and the argument—the argument being somewhat in the nature of a soul facing its own legislature, or perhaps standing as a jury before itself, setting its own case in a kind of private yet public psychic trial. [...]

(9:18.) The arthritis situation is as I gave it (in a number of private sessions), but you are still faced with the medical interpretation of that situation, so that it is up to Ruburt to set it aside. [...]

[...] And as he spoke of the beginnings of the world, I began to play with the idea of quietly ending my own private sphere of existence. [...]

(In mentioning my “sportsman self,” Seth referred to information he’d given about three of my probable selves in a private session on January 30, 1974 — just a few days before starting “Unknown” Reality. [...]

Your father’s creativity, as mentioned [in earlier, unpublished sessions] had its side of secrecy, privacy and aloneness … you identified creatively with his private nature. [...]

[...] There are enough instances of it, known and tabulated, to make an excellent case; and beside this there is evidence that remains psychologically invisible in your private lives, because you have been taught not to concentrate in that direction.

[...] (With amusement:) Few people have seen a black hole, to make the most generous statement possible, while countless people have had private reincarnational experiences, or encounters that suggest the survival of the personality beyond death.

[...] Therefore, dreams will be considered throughout the book in various capacities as they are related through genetics, reincarnation, culture, and private life. [...]

[...] Let it be known that anyone who wants to attend private sessions must then arrange so in advance. [...]

The back room idea, however, will serve to reinforce the private nature of the sessions in your own minds. [...]

[...] I am not saying that you should not allow certain specific individuals at times to attend private sessions. [...]

(Here is the private material Seth has given for Jane in the last two sessions:

Your private nature makes you wonder if that involves too much disclosure, particularly where family members are concerned. [...]

You understand that private experience, imperfect but creative, underlies the points in “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] The spontaneous self, of course, represents your closest private touch with the universe, with your origins, and with your relationship to All That Is. Your impulses, intuitions, and creative abilities have always innately provided open channels of communication through which man was guided toward those probable actions most beneficial to his private reality—and those actions would automatically, again, add to the best probable reality for the species as well. [...]

[...] (Pause.) In a definite manner of speaking, spontaneity, being apart from time while operating in time, is aware of, say, private abilities before they show themselves in time. [...]

[...] After our meal I’d reread some of these late private sessions, and had planned to go over some of those from 1973, but various distractions prevented me from doing the latter. [...]

(As we sat waiting I read to Jane pages 4 and 5 of the private session for October 22, 1973—excellent material concerning the contrasts displayed by Jane’s parents. [...]

[...] The contrast represented his own interpretation of his private reality, of course—yet they also represent the main issues involved right now in your society at large. [...]
