“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] (Long pause.) Some is difficult to explain clearly, because Ruburt wanted to make sure of the validity of the sessions from the start, and because of other material given in the past, he did not fully accept the sessions or his own psychic abilities as an integral part of his personality—since they appeared relatively late in life, where the poetry, for example, had always more or less been apparent. [...]

[...] Those areas include the psychic one, the creative one, the financial one, and the mental one. [...]

[...] I will deal with the situations involved, but I will also try to elicit the creative use of your own psychic and mental abilities, so that they can be directed specifically toward clearing up such issues—and I am of course willing to have daily sessions at your request. [...]

This psychic startled the couple by correctly identifying some specific elements of their experiences, so there was some kind of psychic connection also. [...]

[...] This real estate couple had been forced to spend a night at the same resort due to poor weather, at a time when a psychic was featured as an entertainer.

“Life as we know it is excitement; highly organized—excitement at all levels, microscopic, macroscopic, psychic. It is the result of the relationship between balance and imbalance, between organization and ‘chaos.’ It is excitement ever in a state of flux, forming psychic and material knots. [...] The emotions themselves can sense this when we let them, and grasping that sense of excitement can show us a glimpse of the even greater freedom of our own psychic existence, which flows into us as individuals and then bursts apart that short-lived form into another, as the excitement of individuation leaps from life to life.”

[...] The episode reminded us once again that many of our visitors are seeking help of one kind or another, and that we hadn’t had the remotest idea that this would be the case when Jane began her psychic development late in 1963. Sometimes we’re not sure whether the people are simply rebelling against the help offered by establishment disciplines [especially when that “help” is partially or wholly ineffective], or are more aware than most that some individuals, like Jane, have other “psychic” dimensions of personality that can be asked for information. [...]

[...] The patterns are seen in an exaggerated fashion, so that in some such cases at least you can gain glimpses of mental, emotional, and psychic processes that usually remain psychologically invisible beneath the more polished or “finished” social personality of the usual individual.

[...] There are different kinds of creativity, then, to learn, and a specialization in energy is focus and feelings that emerge; elemental energy becoming conscious of itself, and aware of issues that did not exist for it earlier; millions of molecules momentarily united with the living consciousness (pause), filled with primal energy, now learning love, and forming highly sensitive psychic patterns, electrical charges that now form emotions instead of clouds; the innocent chaos of undifferentiated personality that exists behind the highly specified and truly sophisticated mechanism of one thought. [...]

Little wonder that psychic battles wage, and yet beyond your system there are refinements impossible to describe, and further developments more miraculous than those that have gone before. [...]

[...] A change of balance — a vital but usually-hidden psychic action that instantly changed me and the afternoon.

[...] At the threshold of my mind those “psychic gears” turned. [...]

These EE units, then, are the psychic building blocks of matter. [...]

[...] Yet you consider yourselves quite independent, and not thrust-off second-handed selves; so dogs and other animals are not simply the manifestation of stray psychic energy on the part of human beings.

[...] You must remember that you are wandering through a mental or psychic landscape. [...]

[...] [I plan to soon explain these rather cryptic references.] In the meantime, my little psychic adventures continue to flow. [...]

[...] Instead, Seth devoted it to “strings of consciousness” — explaining why Jane “picked up” the “William James” material, which is discussed in her book, Psychic Politics. [...]

[...] Man’s initial curiosity did not involve seeing, feeling, or touching the object’s nature as much as it involved a joyful psychic exploration in which he plunged his consciousness, rather than, say, his foot into the stream — though he did both.

(“Are you trying to spell out psychic phenomena?”)

(“Well, for instance from the reviewers of works on psychic phenomena.”)

[...] A rather classic example of the progress followed by many psychically-endowed, but in poor control of their personalities and abilities.

[...] The personality in the past used psychic abilities for the wrong purposes. [...]

It is a materialization of an inner framework, an inner psychic framework. Many other personality structures do not need a materialized perceptive framework, such as this, but an inner psychic organization is always present. [...]

[...] If changes are to occur, they must be mental and psychic changes. [...]

[...] Seth calls this man “the Dean,” with affectionate humor, because he’s one of my best students, and the others listen to his psychic adventures with a good deal of interest. [...]

[...] In the following excerpts from a private session, he explains the biological and psychic elements of pain and consciousness and also states that illness itself is sometimes a purposeful activity.

[...] [See how this ties in with Seth’s advice to the students on the value of spontaneity and the difficulties of repression.] These impediments [illnesses] may sometimes then preserve the integrity of the whole psychological system and point out the existence of inner psychic problems. [...]

One of my students, Sue Watkins, is very gifted psychically and quite expert in her use of dreams. [...]

In this particular session, Seth is describing illness as a part of action, but, as he makes clear, this is not meant to imply any negation of psychological or psychic values. [...]

[...] The most meaningful level was one in which the many rooms and apartments represented psychic areas of development, endless possibilities that continually open, but possibilities that were based on previous life experiences. [...]

[...] One night, in the early days of our psychic experience, I dreamed I saw Rob standing by the kitchen sink. [...]

I may or may not return again, according to those rhythms of which I have spoken—but I do want to mention that the psychic structure we have formed strengthens not only each day but each moment, and again, I am present whether or not I am speaking. [...]

[...] Neither of us were ever interested in turning out a series of just “psychic books” per se, devoid of all of those human and intimate details that are piling up during our lifetimes, enriching the moments and the days, the weeks and the years, creating the seamless wholes of our lives. [...]

[...] The vehicle of so-called space travel is mental and psychic mobility, in terms of psychic transformation of energy, enabling spontaneous and instantaneous mobility through the spacious present.

[...] I see the office of your precious Psychic Society, and your director, but Ruburt fears to make a mistake, and he blocks me.

[...] She felt Seth was ready to talk about the American Society for Psychic Research; but she was so afraid of making a mistake that she couldn’t let the material come through yet.

(See Appendix 10 for a summary of Jane’s psychic work in connection with “the affair of the missing person,” as we came to call it. [...]

[...] I wanted him to enlarge upon the statement he’d made at 11:29 in the 690th session: “Further developments in your concepts will lead to greater activation in portions of the brain now not nearly utilized, and these in turn will trigger expansions in both psychic and biological terms.” [...]

Sue Watkins is gifted psychically and as a writer. [...]

[...] And it was through reading this old poetry that I found clues that showed me the points of continuity between my life before my psychic initiation and after it.

The poems show my attitude toward life in general just before my psychic experiences began. [...]

[...] That is, a certain psychic framework is set up through which an individual decides “ahead of time” to experience an entire life situation. [...]

This experienced present also represents your psychic touchstone to all of your other existences. [...]

[...] The psychic explosions that have been fairly regular with him in the past, have been minimized to some considerable degree since our sessions began. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s psychic state is much improved over his usual late winter state, and this seasonal susceptibility is also somewhat responsible for his occasional, really deep feelings of discouragement.
