“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This material came through after Jane and I had watched a program yesterday and today called In Search Of — old reruns featuring Leonard Nimoy. [...]

I am mentioning this material because of the program you saw today, and also because I knew of your interest.

(4:55 p.m. “I should tell you,” Jane said as I lit a smoke for her, “but as soon as that program was over, I knew he was going to mention the Abominable Snowman. [...]

[...] So does her active dream-experience nightlife, still based upon, often, television programs. Jane had a “scary” dream episode last night, one that was quite unpleasant, she said, and involved her seeing herself in different time frames and three different programs or movies on TV at the same time. [...]

[...] You have been taught not to trust that energy, however, and in one way or another your social programs and your governments themselves are based upon the proposition that man must be protected from his own nature —a nature seen as unsavory at best.

[...] Ruburt has been using television programs and such cultural data as a basis for some of his own dreams. [...]

[...] Many millions of dollars, and much time and effort, have been and are being given to such research programs. [...] Even the economic factors become important: Beside the great sums involved in the “official” programs, for instance, many private radiologists have also found mammography screening to be quite profitable.

[...] Unfortunately, many of your public health programs, and commercial statements through the various media, provide you with mass meditations of a most deplorable kind. [...]

(11:30.) Such programs do indeed pick up the generalized fears of the nation, but they also represent folk dramas — disdained by the intelligentsia — in which the common man can portray heroic capabilities, act concisely toward a desired end, and triumph.

Those programs often portray your cultural world in exaggerated terms, and most resolution is indeed through violence. [...]

[...] They program you to interpret your dreams in a given manner.

People often program their waking memory in quite the same fashion. [...]

[...] There is no inner programming that says otherwise.

[...] Because of programming, many people refrain from natural reactions of a most harmless nature, and these are often given expression in the dream state. [...]

[...] I want you both to discuss together the ideas in the book, and to literally begin a program in which your purpose is to put those ideas to use where you need them. [...]

[...] Such a program will have effects in your life also, Joseph. [...]

[...] You saw the bodybuilding program (Pumping Iron). [...]

(After her lunch I read to Jane the same two sessions I’d read her yesterday — for February 1 and 5. I told her that my question for Seth is, why did the fever business start after her initiation of Day 1 of her new program? [...]

(I also reminded Jane that we hadn’t gotten an answer from Seth to my question about why all the fever business started right after Jane had put her Day 1, 2, 3 program into effect. [...]

(Long pause at 10:30.) There is another man who could share the program with him, the one mentioned in our earlier session (the 496th), that was thought not available. Ruburt would take the program away from Crosson quite without meaning to do so. [...]

[...] He needs it badly, and I have a note for Miss Taylor: it will hurt Jim Crosson badly if he does not have a part in the program. [...]

Ruburt will do much better on his own in a program, but should definitely not shunt Jim Crosson aside, for he is very vulnerable to slights. [...]

Again: Ruburt will address the group many times throughout the years, and so may I. (Humorously.) Ruburt and I together would need a full program.

When you and Ruburt begin such a program as the pendulum, for example, it is valuable because of your joint initiation of it, and it served several excellent purposes. [...]

[...] I want to suggest a different kind of program, that is, a version of what you have, and that will bring better results. [...]

[...] I am going to suggest a program, and regardless of what you think of it, the two of you, I would like you to try it, and urge you to do so. [...]

The program I have outlined should allow you to take more advantage of Framework 2, but you must both remind yourselves of the good intent of the body, and the power of your own intent. [...]

You do not seem to understand the importance of your organizations, particularly your habitual biological ones, for they dictate the ways in which you examine your reality, and they program also your biological reaction in very practical ways.

They program the interactions within the body, so that certain effects always appear inevitable, when such in basic terms is not always the case, necessarily. [...]

[...] Do not try to program the improvements. [...]

[...] In a way you program yourself, going about your daily duties as conscientiously and effectively as usual — but at the same time you discover an additional portion of your own reality. [...] These snapshots are usually interpreted in terms of your home program. [...]

[...] When you journey into other realities, or when your consciousness leaves your body, you can also rely upon guidebooks that program your activities ahead of time. [...]

[...] So there are psychic customs as there are physical ones, religious and psychic dogmas, guided tours of consciousness in which you are told to follow a certain line or a certain program. [...]

First of all, in your own world those travelers into unknown realms were considered outcasts, so to speak, as if they were picking up television programs that no one else saw.⁸ If their stories of their experiences did not jibe, who would believe them? [...]

He has used the materials of your culture—the television programs and so forth—to excellent advantage in the dream state and otherwise, so that messages of his own psyche come through. The TV programs become like dreams, and indeed they appear rewritten in the dream state also, as the psyche seizes upon different kinds of vehicles for its own therapeutic expression. [...]

(Since Seth mentions such episodes tonight, I’ll note here also that lately Jane has had a number of dreams involving television programs that we’ve seen—shows like Dallas, TV movies, etc. [...]

[...] These beliefs program the child from infancy, of course, so that it behaves in certain fashions in adulthood. [...]

[...] I am saying here that to some extent the child in the womb is aware of the mother’s beliefs and information, and that to some extent (underlined) it is “programmed” to behave in a certain fashion, or to grow in a certain fashion as a result.

Beliefs about the infant’s sexual nature are of course a part of its advance programming. [...]

(Since she had no session from yesterday to read, Jane tried to read the session for February 1 — the one that led to her Day 1, 2, 3 program. [...]

[...] Especially when we’ve seen the program before.” [...]

If your individuality was programmed by your biological sex, then it would be literally impossible for you to perform any action that was not sexually programmed. [...]

[...] Those that do are the result of programming, and are not inherent — even biologically — in the species itself.

[...] Is this in reference to the program we saw on TV this afternoon, about fire ants?”)

It is indeed, and to the questions that the program aroused in you. [...]

(We watched In Search Of from 2:30 to 3:00, and the program reminded me of a number of questions I’d thought of at various times. The program dealt with the atom-bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, and the after-effects, such as cancer. [...]

I simply want you to know that you are beginning well—for you are really beginning with a new resoluteness a program, a program on Ruburt’s part to trust the energy of his being, the motion, inspiration and vitality that gave him birth and continues to sustain him. [...]

[...] As we waited Jane said several times that she felt “a sense of reassurance” from Seth, that he was organizing some kind of material or program for her because of her physical situation. [...]

Our program of discussing Seth’s material, as well as our own ideas—which included our taping suggestions for Jane to listen to daily—had come out of those sessions for December 1 and 3. Obviously, we were trying to encourage Framework 2 activity. [...] “Rob and Seth started us on a new program and though we’ve hardly begun, I do feel some relieved more peaceful,” she typed in part on the morning of the 5th as she sat at her new low table, “yesterday i felt the place clicking about me. P.M. I did a little mail but didn’t really get into the notes which are to be a part of the program. [...]

“… certainly it must seem to you both that you begin many therapeutically designed programs only to have them disappear. There is a rhythm to such programs, however, and it is natural for the self to rouse at certain times, begin such activities, then apparently (underlined) discard them.

“I begin as best I can… read sessions,” Jane typed on December 7, as she recorded her efforts, and mine, at carrying out our program for her. [...]

[...] Once again Seth offered us material relative to our daily program—but that’s not the only reason I decided to present the full session in Note 7.

[...] I didnt spontaneously come up with impressions for example about switch programing...
