“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] She also experienced the pyramid effect at this time but didn’t tell us until break.

[...] Eyes open at times after session underway.

[...] The entity had its beginning before the emergence of your time.

[...] Their material and messages will always be basically the same, though the circumstances and times and places of their communications may be colored accordingly.

[...] At the same time she’s been extremely creative, working on her God of Jane, and the introduction to Mass Events—producing many pages of excellent material for those works. [...] I’ve been expecting Seth to begin it at any time.

You identified primarily now, as a poet and an artist because those designations, up to that time, seemed most closely to fit your abilities and temperaments. [...]

[...] It seemed at different times since our sessions began that there were disruptive conflicts, for example: was Ruburt a writer or was he a psychic? [...]

[...] Ruburt has been a poet all of the time in the most profound meaning of that term. [...]

I will here again suggest that Ruburt return to a definite scheduled psychological time habit. [...]

[...] At times it will agree with our predictions and our interpretations. At times it will not agree with our interpretation of what it calls a valid prediction. And at times it will state that a prediction is valid, when we can see nothing during the following day’s events to tie to the prediction.)

[...] The pendulum also advised her against a trip to New York City at this time. [...] The upshot of all this was that by session time we had about decided to sign the contact.

[...] She drank some water, remarking that as far as she could remember this was the first time she had ever so interrupted a session. [...]

Reincarnation does not imply a recurring time system, nor does it imply an extension of time as it is normally considered. That is, reincarnation does not imply in a basic manner existence in one life after another, in your time of successive moments.

[...] Now to an observer whose time concept was still further segmented, and slowed down in comparison to your own, then theoretically within his time system the four personalities would indeed appear to be four separate existences in fact. In the same manner, you see, several manifestations of one identity appear to you to be stretched out in serial form within a successive time framework.

Because you are obsessed with the idea of time as past, present and future, you are forced to think of reincarnations as strung out one before the other, and indeed we speak of past lives simply because you are used to the time sequence concept. [...]

For one thing the self is usually thought of in terms of existence only within one particular time sequence pattern. [...]

[...] This was the second time Seth had given me the chance to ask a question after an experiment. [...] Because we had a witness I didn’t think we would spend too much time checking details. Earlier in the day I had wondered what would happen if I asked Seth/Jane to go over all of the data again; I supposed Jane would take this as a sign that the first data wasn’t much good, and at break Jane said this was her thought at the time.

The inverted time system recognizes the actual nature of time, however. [...]

[...] A connection with a ring, and with a time schedule.” [...] The time element is also apparent in the above material.

[...] The form of the material is a little different however this time, and involves John and his wife for the most part.

(“The trouble appears to be in the lower left groin or side, with ramifications at times in the left testicle. [...] Today, my stomach began bothering; I’ve taken baking soda three times, and that seemed to help, if temporarily, each time. [...]

[...] Pendulum tells me the side bothers because I’m not working on Mass Reality, which will get us money, whereas Through My Eyes is a less-certain project, would take longer, and the time I spend on it is time lost on Mass Reality. [...]

[...] It does not rest in either of you alone, but rises from joint psychological structures (intently) that you have formed together, each using what characteristics you could—psychological structures that you then can use to gain a viewpoint upon reality that is so unique. [...]

[...] You start thinking “How much time is available?” when the very creative thoughts themselves make more time available.

[...] The emotion will once again rush into the psychic space which is formed by elements in the personality’s psychological environment. The immediate emotion of any moment, therefore, forms the framework of your present time within the waking state. [...]

Because of the physical structure, experiences within your system have a slow-motion distortion which creates the appearance of time. Time as you know it, waking time, is intimately connected with the emotions and with emotional intensities. [...]

When you directly experience an emotional event, when you are at its heart, so to speak, then you do not seem to experience physical time. Only as you move to the outskirts of the experience does such time realization enter in. The dream experience however is always free of the realization of physical time, practically, for you experience dream events directly from the center of awareness.

[...] It seems to recede in time and to shrink in psychic space as the intensity of it begins to diminish. An intensive emotion will represent the present in time, a particular instant of now.

[...] Once again Jane spoke at a fast rate; several times I had to ask her to slow down. [...] Although her eyes remained closed for the whole session, her voice was loud and at times quite a bit deeper than usual. [...]

[...] At that time, neither Jane or I had seen John very many times.)

I will not give any further information this evening concerning these matters, but he may check with me from time to time if he so desires. [...]

[...] It must also be considered as an electrical reality, as a psychological reality, for any experience is automatically translated into all these systems.

[...] One in automatic writing and one in psychological time. [...]

[...] It is there all the time whether or not you realize it and it sustains you whether or not you realize it. [...]

[...] If the dilemma continued for any length of time, you could then develop a chronic ailment, though not of an incapacitating manner. [...]

The Sinful Self is “an artificial psychological construct”—thrust upon the natural self to some degree, and at one time it objected thoroughly against such conditioning, so with communication it will be glad to let those old beliefs go —as long as the entire affair is not allowed to go underground, of course. [...]

[...] For some time there was no direct challenge, however, made to the Sinful Self once Ruburt left the church. His creative abilities were growing and developing, his concepts enlarging, but he was for some time so convinced of science’s viewpoint that the ideas of the Sinful Self were looked upon as unworthy and superstitious. [...]

We will save that for another time. That will take some time. [...]

(At the same time, on the occasions when she’d come half awake, Jane told herself that she remembered Seth’s material on expressing previously buried fears, and made strong efforts to go along with it by letting the feelings surface where she could encounter them. [...]

(Jane is now trying psychological time for half an hour daily.)

[...] And it would seem from within those fields that time as you know it is involved. You know however that time is not involved. The appearance of this time is caused by the apparent changes or transformations of the action as it enters any given camouflage field.

[...] There will also be additional information concerning the concept of time, as the experience of time is strongly connected with the motion of mental acts, as they are projected outward from their center into the fields of various camouflage systems.

For all systems, so-called time is measured with the entrance or projection of any given mental action through this resistance barrier. [...] When it passes completely through a system, then within the system it appears that the mental action has ceased to be, and again time is marked.

[...] The subject had been brought up by severalvivid dreams and psychological time experiences Jane had had concerning her mother. While giving this 105th session, Seth had also had trouble getting the information through, ascribing the difficulty to Jane’s ego. [...]

[...] This account is written the next evening from memory, since I took no notes at the time.

[...] Jane has experienced this same phenomenon several times while reading this work, and it is dealt with in the 131st and 158th sessions.

[...] This is the first time he has given me any specific age, although in several previous sessions, among them the 149th and the 217th, he has mentioned my living to an old age. [...]

[...] And once again Jane wavered at times between waking and dozing. [...]

[...] Her delivery this evening had been as fast as that of last time, yet more subdued. [...]

[...] I reacted very badly at times, I’m afraid, alternating profound moods of despair with those of great tenderness, love, and compassion. [...]

[...] I, for one, was afraid that such an arrangement would not only demonstrate our acceptance of the fact that Jane was really caught in a terrible, permanent situation, but that it would end up destroying us psychologically and creatively.

Men in those times protected themselves against storms, and yet in the same way they did not begrudge the storm its victims. [...] Man did not fear the elements in those early times, as is now supposed.

[...] You could not live in your present world of time if your consciousness was as playful, curious, and creative as it was, for [then] time was also experienced far differently.

[...] He realized in those earlier times that illness, for instance, was initially as much the result of the imagination as health was, for he experienced far more directly the brilliant character of his own imagination. [...]

[...] You grant that the weather has an effect upon your moods, but any deeper psychic or psychological connections between you and the elements strikes most of you as quite impossible.

[...] One of my purposes is to enable you not only to recognize but experience this independent reality, and again the use of psychological time in a correct manner will be an invaluable aid.

And this is also an example of an instance where Ruburt would have blocked me, but this time he did not. My good afternoon instantly confused him since he was well aware of the time. [...]

The use of certain drugs has been experimented with at various times through the ages, but these provide merely an undisciplined, intriguing glimpse into what is possible; and for some time in your future they will not be either practical or in the main beneficial, for reasons that I shall go into after you take your break.

[...] It is true that focusing upon the inner reality at times requires a temporary lessening of outer focus, and this would sometimes give the appearance of letting go, but the inner concentration requires discipline and intent. It is quite possible to let the inner and the outer senses operate at the same time. [...]

[...] At one time, then, in your father’s past as you think of it, having met Stella, he did not marry her after all. [...] Whole regroupings of energy occurred, psychological and psychic implosions, so that two equally valid personalities were aware in a world in which only one could live at a time.

From the 15th session for January 13: “Imagination allows you to enter into these planes … Pretend that you not only understand your cat’s concept of time to some degree, but could also experience his sense of time through the cat [Willy] himself. [...]

[...] At the time we understood little of what happened; yet the event represented a key episode at the very beginning of our psychic education; for in a crowded, smoky hotel barroom Jane and I unknowingly created physical “personality fragments” of ourselves — then came face to face with them. [...] (Naturally, the more Seth told us about the human ability to generate such forms, the more questions we had!) In that 9th session Seth also used his term, “probable self,” for the first time.

[...] Each of your parents had their strongest reality, this time, and in your terms, in a probable system of reality — and here (in this reality) they were offshoots. [...]

You recall I have told you that the intensity of an experience, rather than its duration in time, determines its effect. [...] The experience is perceived simultaneously by the inner senses, but it will be translated in terms of physical time.

There is always a time scramble, for the inner senses deal with basic data in the spacious present. Then the data must be interpreted in the time scheme of physical existence. [...]

[...] However, because of your own basic assumptions such experiences, perceived by the inner senses, are played back in such a manner that a traveling through intensities results in a journey through time within your own dimension.

[...] (One minute pause, eyes closed.) The girl’s emotional condition the other evening acted indeed like a psychological bridge, over which Ruburt could pass. [...]

[...] I do suggest that on session nights Ruburt find some time to relax. Also that whenever possible you both read our material, and that you do continue now with psychological time, following the directions which I have given you.

(Jane and I have not as yet resumed the study of psychological time.

[...] She began dictating on time, in a normal voice and at a regular rate. [...]

[...] They will be discussed under their own headings when the time is ready.

[...] This has to do with immediate psychological associations of a camp in the woods. [...]

Now the red hoods had a peculiar significance, subconsciously speaking, to you because the red subconsciously meant violence and the idea in the back of your mind that religions through the ages have often resulted in violence and also Cardinals, you see, wear red hats at times. [...]

([Molly:] “They were still outside all the time.”)

[...] I do not know if she is there now, but she was at that time and you met her in the hallway. [...]

[...] As an example, I’ll continue with the subject of time — but Seth’s time now — and couple it with his notions of a durability that is at the same time spontaneous and simultaneous, as he’s explained to us more than once. [...] Part of my paragraph of commentary following the 724th session, in Volume 2, fits in here: “As he [Seth] quite humorously commented in the 14th session for January 8, 1964, ‘… for you have no idea of the difficulties involved in explaining time to someone who must take time to understand the explanation.’ Yet Seth’s simultaneous time isn’t an absolute, for, as he also told us in that session: ‘While I am not affected by time on your plane, I am affected by something resembling time on my plane … To me time can be manipulated, used at leisure and examined. To me your time is a vehicle, one of several by which I can enter your awareness. [...]

I averaged 40 of the sessions, just the parts devoted to dictation, for two things: the time Jane spent in trance only, and her trance time plus relevant break times. [...] For she completed the two volumes of “Unknown” Reality in a total trance time of 90:35 hours, or a total trance-plus-break time of 131:30 hours (sums which translate roughly into times of 45 hours and 65 hours per book). [...]

Every so often I’ve thought of averaging Jane’s dictation time for Seth Speaks and Personal Reality in the same way, but haven’t done so. I’m somewhat puzzled to note, however, that her very short working times for the Seth books seem to be either ignored or taken for granted by practically everyone — or, perhaps, those factors just aren’t understood in terms of ordinary linear time. Maybe I’m alone in my interest here, for even Jane doesn’t express any great curiosity about the time she has invested in the Seth material; she just delivers it. But given her abilities, I think her speed of production is a close physical approach to, or translation of, Seth’s idea that basically all exists at once — that really there is no time, and that the Seth books, for example, are “there” to be had in final form for just the tuning in. [...]

[...] Usually I have little idea of time. [...] These are almost impossible to explain, but the state isn’t always the same — it has peaks and valleys, psychological colorations and intensities that mark its nature.
