“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] and that can show joy, and show its existence and reality, that can call to you beyond space and time, that shows such energy, that shows you what energy can blow through such a small and slight frame... [...] For some time yet, you will need its familiarity. [...]

[...] When you immerse yourselves completely in physical reality, then you have no time for the inner voice. [...]

[...] You must realize that within this room, and within any room, at any time there are other personalities that you do not perceive. [...]

[...] and at one time your sister... [...]

[...] Basically that portion of the psyche is outside of space and time, while enabling you to operate in it.⁴ It deals intimately with probabilities — (louder:) the source of all predictable action.

[...] Unfortunately, science as it has developed in your time has resulted in a mistrust of the individual, and saddled him or her with a sense of powerlessness, subjectively, even while it has added a seeming sense of objective power. [...]

[...] Largely, it seems that your techniques work a good deal of the time. [...]

Again, many can thankfully praise a given doctor for discovering a disease condition “in time,” so that effective countering measures were taken and the disease was eliminated. [...]

(It took a long time to coax and command her out of her trance. [...] She would quickly correct this rolling each time. [...]

[...] First, Ruburt’s decision not to speak to Dr. Freudenberger’s class was a good one at this time (underlined). [...]

There are several points I would like to make concerning psychological identity. [...]

In terms again of the image set up earlier, there are various reference points where overlapping areas of the various circles penetrate each other; and as has been mentioned earlier, Ruburt’s personality presently is in such a psychological location.

[...] Even as we prepared this manuscript for the printer, two more of her works, Dialogues of the Soul and Mortal Self in Time, and Aspect Psychology, were contracted for publication by Prentice-Hall. [...]

(11:16 p.m. Jane’s final book delivery had been quiet most of the time, and steady as usual. She was both surprised — as she remarked several times — and a bit disconsolate now that Seth’s part of the long project was through. [...]

[...] You will always be asking others what to do, and at the same time resenting those from whom you seek such aid. [...]

[...] What information and knowledge I have I try to give to you through Ruburt and Joseph (pause), who are parts of me in your space and time. [...]

[...] She had been most of the day, and by supper time she’d even thought of skipping the session. [...]

Overall, whether or not you are conscious of it — for some of you are, and some of you are not — your lives do have a certain psychological shape. [...]

[...] On the other hand (pause), I feel a leaning toward psychology. [...]

These grids of perception “do not exist forever” in your dimension of time, for your dimension of time cannot hold anything that is outside it. Once a world exists, however, it becomes imprinted or stamped upon eternity, so that it exists in time and out of it “at once.”

[...] The patterns for worlds—the patterns—continue in your time dimension, though in that time dimension those worlds must disappear, again, to continue “their existence outside of time.” [...]

Now in a manner of speaking—though I see that little time has passed in this living room where I speak with Ruburt’s permission—we have transcended time to some extent this evening, for in what I have said there are indeed hints and illusions—cadences—that can, if you are ready, give you a feeling for existence as it is outside of time’s context. [...]

[...] Using your idea of time, I can only say that when the entire gestalt of consciousnesses that formed a particular earth have formed its reality to the best of their abilities, fulfilling their individual and mass capacities as far as possible, then they lovingly turn over that grid to others, and continue to take part in existences that are not physical in your terms. And that has happened many times.

(Pause at 9:35.) As I have said frequently, time as you think of it does not exist, yet in your terms, time’s true nature could be understood if the basic nature of the atom was ever made known to you. [...]

[...] The mind, which is the inner counterpart of the brain, can at times perceive the far greater dimensions of any given event through a burst of sudden intuition or comprehension that cannot be adequately described on a verbal level.

It seems as if an atom “exists” steadily for a certain amount of time. [...]

Now the same sort of behavior occurs on a deep, basic, secret, and unexplored psychological level. [...]

As of last May, when she laid it aside to begin work on her own The God of Jane: A Psychic Manifesto, Jane had some 17 chapters in fairly good shape for her third Seven novel, Oversoul Seven and the Museum of Time. [...] Jane would especially like to do another book of poetry, since she published Dialogues of the Soul and Mortal Self in Time way back in 1975. [...] [Personally, I just wish I had more time to sit quietly and reread some of her poetry.]

(Actually, it’s taken me a long time—a little over three years—to round out these preliminary notes for the session that follows. [...] [Mitzi didn’t watch me this time.] Much has taken place in Jane’s and my lives since 1979, as it has for everyone else, but here in the light of the corner streetlight the scene outside our place was just as magical and mysterious as ever. [...] The cicadas and the katydids still sounded their hypnotic rhythms, I’ve heard geese often lately, moving south in noisy waves, and we’ve had deer in our driveway several times. [...]

[...] There are thousands of farm-bred animals, however [and have been], all throughout civilization, alive for a time, well-cared-for for a time—animals who in usual terms would not exist except for man’s “gluttonous” appetite for meat. [...]

[...] At the same time I’ll be taking Jane’s dictation for Dreams. [...]

(Jane said she thinks her practice with psychological time experiments had much to do with the ease with which she put herself into a good state, since she achieved it in about five minutes. [...]

Again, I recommend that you continue your walks, and that Ruburt put his psychological time experiments once more on a regular basis.

[...] Our Ruburt is indeed at times heavy-handed. At times he badgers you, but his remarks concerning the importance and indeed the strength of joy, should be well taken.

[...] It was late in the day before she discovered this, and she just had time to make the rounds of the stores, all of whom reported nothing found and turned in. [...]

[...] In your terms, by the time an individual is in his last physical life (pause), all portions of the personality are then familiar with it at the time of death. [...]

[...] The discrimination comes to bear upon the precision needed to enter your reality at the precise time, the precise point in time and space, upon which you are concentrated.

[...] This we hadn’t done, of course — partly because of time limitations; partly because Jane hadn’t wanted to be that involved consciously. [...]

[...] As the time passed, Jane said she thought she was somewhat uptight because of the questions; she had read them after supper. [...]

Usually a session runs for several hours, and the energy is used up by the time the session is over. [...] When it was cut short, all that energy was still available, and subjectively I was aware of its full strength for the first time.

[...] He projects part of his consciousness, at least at times, into mine. [...] Seth doesn’t have any great interest in taking over my body for any length of time, while I have an insatiable curiosity about the experience of getting out of mine.

[...] At a level beneath words, I knew that Seth was right: this was the time. [...]

[...] Hadn’t I alternately hoped that he would and been reluctant at the same time?

[...] Jane had also told me tonight that she’d particularly enjoyed last Sunday’s unscheduled session — both the time of week it had been held, and the time of day. [...]

[...] But I think the main portion of my enthusiasm stemmed from the frustration I often feel because much of Seth’s material will go unpublished at this time. [...]

(At the same time, I told Jane tonight, I wasn’t asking that she try for a fast book because I didn’t think she was ready for it, even though I knew that she — and Seth — could do it. [...]

[...] Yet there was of course a psychological fallout, and effects that will be felt throughout the land by people in all walks of life. [...]

[...] The people involved are quite aware of their activity at all times, but they behave in a fashion that is not continual — that is, the main personality does not seem to behave in a continual manner, but is broken up, or again, seemingly divided. This psychological ploy neatly prevents the so-called main personality from using all of its energy at any one time.

[...] It worked out well, but I lost time — and when I got to room 330 this afternoon, my legs were itching again. [...]

[...] It made us wonder about working in hospitals — it seemed everyone was sick at one time or another.

(Jane had no idea of the material for the session as time for it approached, but she was not nervous as she was last session. [...]

[...] To study psychology exclusively in terms of the brain’s effect upon the physical body is likewise hampering and limiting, for the brain is merely that portion of, that very small portion, of the mind which is apparent within matter. [...]

[...] Biology has made many strides, but it must finally be concerned with that intangible which is behind all organisms, and it will be forced to the initiation of an entirely new field, along the lines of basic organic psychology. [...]

[...] And at the same time the laying down of these intangible paths serve as the inner framework over which or upon which future physical lines or structures will be laid.

You block out the realization of nontime, and accept your ideas of time along with the camouflage structure, for one is dependent upon the other. Once you accept physical matter as you know it, then the time system is indispensable. In those projections still within your system, you are still bound by a time relationship, in that it seems to you that perception operates as usual.

[...] In your time system the growth of mass seems to be dependent upon continuity of moments. Time has nothing to do with form, however.

Time is useful only as a method of organizing perceptions. Perception itself does not require time. [...]

[...] All of this does not mean that personalities within other systems do not construct their own kind of time structures, but in all of these cases the personalities realize quite well that the structures are adapted for the sake of organization of experience.

A disease of course is not brought about at any particular point in time, but is latent, and merely becomes perceivable enough to cause danger at what approximates a particular point in time. Psychologically there exists within a given individual the latent leaning toward a multitudinous variety of so-called diseases, these tendencies being picked up through early conditioning and environment.

I am pleased that Ruburt has begun his psychological time experiments again. [...]

(She was still upset as session time approached, and had been unable to take her nap before the session. She wrote out a list of half a dozen questions concerning the nodule, and left it lying on the table as session time came. She began on time, again without her glasses, and at a normal speed with some pauses. [...]

[...] In it he said that although he was not sure, he thought Jane’s schoolgirl friend, Marie Tubbs, now living in Florida, may have been in childbirth at the time of Jane’s dream, with a possibility that the water bag had broken during birth. [...]

The idea of a time sequence (pause), is a psychological method of separating such experience for practical purposes at a given level of development. The idea of time sequence is intimately connected, again, with the structure of physical matter as you perceive it, a way of separating and correlating experience so that it can be physically processed and correlated.

It creates then the times, the events, and the places. [...] While you are creating the physical reality and time that you know, other portions of the self are therefore creating their own times and places. [...]

[...] In the framework of three-dimensional reality in which reincarnation exists, the structure of the body itself requires (in quotes) “time” lapses. [...] It can perceive without time lapses. [...]

[...] It can be said that such an undertaking wasn’t expected by us at this time, seeing as how we have just finished proofreading the galleys for Seth’s first book last month.

[...] You spend all your time examining this one small stream, so that you become hypnotized by its flow, and entranced by its motion. [...]

[...] You may at times for example, hear words, or see images that appear out of context with your own thoughts. [...]

[...] In the dream state you are much more aware of them, although there is a final process of dreaming that often masks intense psychological and psychic experience, and unfortunately what you usually recall is this final dream version.

At the same time, you make this information available to all these other portions of your identity, who dwell in entirely different realities, and you receive from them comparable information. [...]

In dreams you can recognize yourself even though the usual space and time references may be quite different than the ones with which you are familiar in the waking state. [...]

You might find yourself in a completely different body, or in a different time, or of course in a different perspective of relationships—but you are your own reference point. [...]

The same applies to all “psychological” particles, to units of consciousness, and to their affiliations within personality. [...]

I referred to that, I thought, in my preliminary statement about time references—that you recognize yourself in a dream even if the other references do not agree with known reality. [...]

Even the first had its psychological applications, for the uncle at that time was dissatisfied with existence and with his accomplishments, and the carelessness that helped result in his accident was also partially his own. [...]

At one time you and the child were also brothers. He was impatient with you at times for he remembered you as a companion in male pursuits, and bitterly resented your femininity.

[...] You were from a side of the family with French connections and at that time flighty, easily upset, with some ability as a musician in piano, but without the discipline or drive to use the ability,

[...] You never forgave yourself, and now in your first reincarnation as a woman since that time, you decided to be the vehicle through which he could enter physical reality again, and so became his mother in physical terms.
