“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Besides this, it seems to you that such encounters involve a simplification and distortion by their very nature as far as your work is concerned, along with a unique kind of psychological disclosure that could be humiliating, lacking the proper frame of understanding. [...]

At the same time you’ve felt a strong responsibility to perform publicly, to sell books, get your message across, let people see that—yes, the sessions do happen—there is no fraud involved. [...]

I would also suggest Joseph, that will all due respects, that within your crowded schedule you find time now and then for your psychological time experiments. [...]

[...] I do not speak in any of these matters as far as definite times and places are concerned, nor do I intend to. [...] The material will see wide circulation; and at a time when you are both able to handle such circumstances.

[...] Jane saw her at 3 PM, mail time. Jane has been picking up Miss Callahan’s mail as suggested, and also sometimes manages to look in on her at another time of day.

[...] Any so-called travel through time involves then a traveling through such intensities. [...]

[...] They feel that at any time they might be caused to face the greatest challenge, to rely upon their strongest resources, their greatest forbearance, and faced by a test of endurance. They use — or they often use — such a psychological and physical backdrop to keep those qualities alive within themselves, for they are the kind of people who like to feel pitted against a challenge. [...]

[...] At one time the males might have been drafted into the army, and, secretly exultant, gone looking for the period before full adulthood — where decisions would be made for them, where they could mark time, and where those who were not fully committed to life could leave it with a sense of honor and dignity.

(Through all of the mass and personal events referred to in the sessions and notes since she gave the 832nd session on January 29, Jane has occasionally written poetry and painted — and worked steadily at her third Seven novel: Oversoul Seven and the Museum of Time. [...]

[...] In historic terms as you understand them, this is the first time that all of the inhabitants of a country were to be legally considered equal citizens one with the other. [...]

(While trying psychological time on January 25 and January 27, Jane achieved her now customary state of lightness or “ecstasy” to a fair degree.

[...] This is the first time Willy has paid any attention to Jane for many sessions.

[...] There are various reasons, which I have not yet given you, that allow for the traveling of the self through physical space and time. [...]

This electrical pattern is the personality, with all the experiences of its earthly time. [...]

This is simply a matter of time and development. [...] Your material will come in a slightly different manner, and the psychological framework that develops about you will be of a somewhat different nature than that which exists between Ruburt and myself.

[...] The condition originating in one incident some time ago, and further aggravated by a second incident in more recent times. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Give us time here. (Long pause.) The condition leads at times to a bunching of muscles in the side of the neck in precisely this area (Jane touched the right side of her neck) that can occasionally appear almost as a hardish lump. [...]

Now give us time. [...] (My phonetic interpretation.) Perhaps letters from an Osburn at one time. [...]

The sessions imply contact with an emotional and psychological existence that has its reality outside of your physical laws. [...] The sessions themselves are like a vehicle that comes from beyond your time, yet you sit secure in your time—well strapped in, so to speak.

Now: I travel a long way in vital terms for our meetings, and those encounters have been going on for some time now.

[...] They are, however, the results of old hangovers, when he is reacting to conventional, quite limited knowledge filled with distortion, about the nature of the psyche, the nature of time—knowledge further polluted by methods of problem-solving that simply add to problems.

[...] New comprehensions are available at any time, new breakthroughs in any area, for those realities contain the sources of your world’s action.

[...] In it you have literally as much time as you need, to develop those potentials that you must develop, before leaving the reincarnational existences. [...]

[...] They then began with a psychological head start as they formed new primitive groupings. [...]

(9:28.) On your planet they were involved in three particular civilizations long before the time of Atlantis; when, in fact, your planet itself was in a somewhat different position.

The strength of this second civilization lay mainly in the areas now known as Africa and Australia, although at that time not only was the climate entirely different, but the land areas. [...]

(Jane has been back on a regular schedule of psychological time now for a while, on the restricted twenty-minute schedule set by Seth. [...]

[...] She said she felt like opening her eyes a couple of times, or rather that Seth did. Her voice was rather dry and hoarse at times but was not strained, and became no worse during the session. [...]

[...] She blinked several times without closing her eyes for any length of time, then she was out of her trance.

These cannot be recounted, again, in one evening; nor would such a performance serve any purpose at this time; listed, so to speak. [...]

(Following Seth’s recent okay, Jane has begun trying psychological time on a fifteen-minute basis, either in the afternoons or evenings. [...]

[...] A moment point basically consists not of any particular given time division, but is within your system a convenient term that expresses or represents the range of reality that can be conveniently embraced without undue strain.

[...] I had originally suggested the day after his birthday to end his smoking habit, simply because it would be relatively easy for him at that time. [...]

[...] All time structures within them represent the range of action which can be conveniently perceived.

Some of this material will take some getting used to but I wanted to give it to you now; and perhaps you will see how important the use of psychological time can be to you. [...] There is more I will say later along these lines, but your experience with psychological time will to some degree help you to see through the walls of past and future. [...]

For the same reason you are also obsessed with the idea of cause and effect, with the illusion of successive time bringing forth the other. Here we have two of your most basic idea camouflage structures: your conception of time as a succession, and your idea of cause and effect.

Any time, any one time, that you can behave in a manner that suggests that one of your cherished limited laws of the universe does not exist, then you can be certain that the so-called law does not exist, at least not in any basic manner.

In your terms, the rate at which you discover the facets and realities of the spacious present becomes your camouflage time. [...]

[...] Otherwise, however, no specific psychological characteristics of any kind are attached to that biological functioning. I am quite aware that in your experience definite physical and psychological differences do exist. [...]

[...] At the same time, you consider the intuitive elements rather frightening, as if they can explode to disrupt known patterns, dash — in unknown ways.

Now: In direct opposition to current theories about the past, there was far less sexual specialization, say, in the time of the caveman than now.

[...] There were children of various ages in such a band all the time. [...]

In the beginning CU’s, then, units of consciousness, existing within a divine psychological gestalt, endowed with the unimaginable creativity of that sublime identity, began themselves to create, to explore, and to fulfill those innate values by which they were characterized. Operating both as waves and particles, directed in part by their own creative restlessness, and directed in part by the unquenchable creativity of All That Is, they embarked upon the project that brought time and space and your entire [universe] into being. [...]

(Long pause.) In your terms of time, however, we will speak of a beginning, and in that beginning it was early man’s dreams that allowed him to cope with physical reality. [...] In times of drought he would dream of the location of water. In times of famine he would dream of the location of food. [...] He would not waste time in the trial-and-error procedures that you now take for granted. [...]

[...] However (pause), in its purest form a unit of consciousness can be in all places at the same time (forcefully). It becomes beside the point, then, to say that when it operates as a wave a unit of consciousness is precognitive, or clairvoyant, since it has the capacity to be in all places and all times simultaneously.

[...] The ground has been bare of snow most of the time—so far!

At the same time I can’t remember the events connected with the nightmare that gave rise to the feelings.... [...] A psychological force who wanted me to understand the danger of such a course, and when I went back to sleep somehow the entire thing would happen again.... [...]

[...] All I know is that I awakened myself crying, my body very sore, sat on the side of the bed and made the following connections from my feelings at the time:

[...] Because of the true nature of time, and the interrelationships of consciousness, a future life affects a past one, for in actuality all of these existences happen simultaneously. All systems are open-ended, particularly psychological ones. [...]

(I’ve made good use of the time. [...] I’ve paid bills and actually feel like I can relax and draw a deep breath at times, when I consider the improving state of our finances, work, insurance problems, and so forth.

(On March 29, last Thursday, I failed to get to the hospital to see Jane for the first time since she was admitted last April 20. [...]

[...] While I did she had some thoughts of her own — that a person can choose illness, for example, in order to explore that reality, and to exert certain effects upon others around the ill person: thoughts I have had many times — my old idea of consciousness getting to know itself in as many ways as possible.

This prospect has already aroused much opposition—it’s another example of the psychological stress placed upon the population of southeastern Pennsylvania. Studies involving the psychology of the fear of nuclear power, irrational and otherwise, are growing, so once again consciousness proliferates and explores itself in new ways: When will a meltdown happen? [...]

[...] He sees himself suddenly, in a leap of comprehension, as existing for the first time not only apart from the environment, but apart from all of earth’s other creatures.

[...] By the time the Biblical legend came into being, however, historical events and social beliefs were transformed into the Adam and Eve version of events.

[...] Some stimuli were to be sought out, and others avoided, and so over a period of time he translated the pleasant and the unpleasant into rough versions of good and evil.

[...] In your conception of the centuries, then, there are other counterparts of yourself living at the same time and in different places — all creative versions of the original self. There is a great intimate cooperation that exists biologically and spiritually between all of the beings on your planet “at any given time.” [...]

[...] They merge together beautifully to form an inner picture of the world at any given “time,” even while that picture is ever-changing. In greater terms, the picture of your world at any given time can be compared to the position, behavior, and characteristics of an invisible particle as it is “caught” intruding into your reality.

Give us a moment … (Humorously, to me:) You are the living version of yourself in space and time, around which your world revolves.¹¹ The great potentiality that exists in the unknown self, however, also actualizes other such focuses, and in the same space-time framework. [...]

[...] Mental impressions of any kind therefore are not simply imprinted, or written, as it were, in a medium of space and time. [...]

This time reference is perhaps the most important within earth experience, and the one that most influences all creatures. In experience or existence outside of time (pause), there is no necessity to make certain kinds of judgments. In an out-of-time reference, theoretically speaking now, an infinite number of directions can be followed at once. Earth’s time reference, however, brought to experience a new brilliant focus—and in the press of time, again, certain activities would be relatively more necessary than others, relatively more pleasant or unpleasant than others. [...]

[...] I think I’ve got psychological jet leg,” she said—a great phrase. [...] You can’t believe the time when you get back, sometimes, but you couldn’t have gotten the information any other way. [...]

[...] He can only move, and he can only choose therefore to move, physically speaking, in certain directions in space and time. That time reference, however, gives (underlined) his free will meaning and a context in which to operate. [...]

[...] Time organizes the available choices that are to be made. The awakening mentioned earlier, then, found man rousing from his initial “dreaming condition,” faced suddenly with the need for action in a world of space and time, a world in which choices became inevitable, a world in which he must choose among probable actions—and from an infinite variety of those choose which events he would physically actualize. [...]

[...] I thought that tomorrow we could do something about that, then realized that Jim Baker, our optometrist, was due after 2:00 p.m. to deliver the two new pair of glasses he’d examined Jane for some time ago. That was prime time for us to try free association, yet Jane had to have the glasses.

[...] I’m having more and more trouble getting free time to concentrate upon getting Dreams done.

[...] I didn’t take the time to use the pendulum to learn more.)

[...] Then I thought that perhaps I wasn’t amazed at all — that such things could be old stuff to therapists following various psychological disciplines. [...]

[...] As mentioned (in Chapter One), the ego, while a portion of the whole self, can be defined as a psychological “structure,” composed of characteristics belonging to the personality as a whole, organized together to form a surface identity.

[...] It is the portion of the mind, then, that looks out upon physical reality and surveys it in relation to those characteristics of which it is composed at any given time. [...]

(11:17.) These are but a few samples of the ways in which your own quite conscious ideas may be invisible to you while being available all the time, and limiting your experience.

The ego tries to organize all material coming into the conscious mind, for its purposes — the ego’s — are those that have come to the surface at any given time in the self’s overall encounter with physical reality. [...]

[...] In the dreaming state, when the ego is released from its idea of time as a series of moments, then other portions of the self can travel through these moment points, and you have here a journey through depths that have nothing to do with your (underline your) concept of time or space.

[...] We were ready to go back to work, although Jane confessed to some feeling of nervousness as session time approached. [...]

I am ready to resume our previous discussion, and look forward to a most effective year, in your time one.

[...] If you are thinking in terms of Dunne’s theories, then start out with this moment point as it is seen in time one by self one.
