“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Before this your psychological world was a flat one, and discoveries can now be made, and new reference points be recognized, that would have been impossible before.

[...] The fifteen-minute limit for psychological time experiments should be kept until our next session, at which time I will give other directions according to the situation.

(The following are from Jane’s psychological time notebook:

(The following are from my psychological time notebook:

(Jane has been practicing psychological time regularly. [...]

(It will be remembered that in the 140th session Seth suggested Jane avoid psychological time for a while, after she had unwittingly gone too far, too fast. [...]

[...] However in his psychological time experiments he is trying too hard. [...]

[...] In his psychological time experiments lately, he has concentrated with his will, though he did not realize he was doing so. [...]

(After the very short 53rd session tonight I tried psychological time. [...]

[...] While trying psychological time, Jane again experienced the feeling she has likened to ecstasy, and described so thoroughly on page 66. [...]

(While trying psychological time I had the following experiences:

“It should be obvious that the psychological frameworks must be different when the time-experience is different. You can see for yourself the psychological variations that exist simply between the conscious and subconscious, for example. [...]

[...] Over the next few weeks he did psychological time exercises suggested by Seth, and tried to be intuitively alert to anything out of the ordinary. [...]

[...] Seth told Rob again that contact could be facilitated by the Psychological Time exercises. [...]

[...] In other words, it is this portion of the psychological structure that carries the burden of identity, and it is the ego whose experiences are of a dreamlike nature.”

Art of any kind is extremely important as a way of paying off debts, that is psychological debts. [...] Now like Joseph and Ruburt, you give away parts of yourself, fragments of yourself, made more or less into living psychological forms that according to your ability are free from not only time, but free from many of the defects of your own present personality.

(At 8:00 PM Jane and I both tried psychological time, before taking a brief nap. [...]

[...] I would suggest that Mark also exercise himself in the use of psychological time. [...]

The impulsiveness on Mark’s part is in many ways an excellent and usable quality that can be built upon, but discipline of a mental and psychological nature must be used to give him direction, purpose, and a sense of continuity. [...]

[...] It represents the vaster psychological reality in which your own subjective life resides.

Once scientists theorized the ether as the medium in which the physical universe existed.¹ Framework 2 is the psychological medium in which the consciousness of the world exists. [...]

[...] There must be a psychological chamber between these two portions of the self, however — these seemingly undifferentiated areas, in which back-and-forth translations can occur. [...]

(10:14.) In those terms the undifferentiated area is actually filled with motion as psychological transitions and translations are made, until in dreams the two egos often merge into each other — so that sometimes you waken briefly with a sense of elation, or a feeling that in dreams you have met an old and valued friend.

[...] It involves great sweeping psychological attitudes on the part of many, and meets the needs and desires of those involved — needs which, in your terms, arise in a framework of religious, psychological and cultural realities that cannot be isolated from biological results.

[...] His culture, his religion, his psychologies, and his psychological nature together form the context within which both private and mass events occur. [...]

A person’s private experience happens in the context of his psychological and biological status, and basically cannot be separated from his religious and philosophical beliefs and sentiments, and his cultural environment and political framework —

The vine of experience in this analogy is formed in quite a natural fashion from “psychic” elements that are as necessary to psychological experience as sun, air, and water are to plants. [...]

There is less differentiation, in your terms, in notime, but far more differentiation in terms of consciousness, and psychological experience. [...]

[...] You, Joseph, at the least several times a week, should make an effort to embark upon more psychological time exercises, for your own abilities have also grown; but you have not realized it.

[...] It has appeared in your psychological climate, rather than in specific instances. [...]

Now these symbols are those that I believe you will find suitable for you, and some of the information should help you interpret information received in psychological time. [...]

[...] Secondary personalities are caused by repressed emotions on a psychological basis that attempts to maintain an ascendancy. Your ulcer is indeed the same sort of growth, but on a physical and not on a psychological level.

[...] There are here indeed other psychological and surface reasons for the illness, and also deeper reasons for the tendency toward this particular type of illness.

[...] I would like to make it plain here, however, that on a surface psychological level, the personality plunges into activity, and it is for the present this portion of the personality with whom we must deal. [...]

[...] It is hardly worth it, for the personality must be led to see that it itself has created the ulcer, both psychologically and physically, in most actual terms, and that it itself can indeed cast it out.

[...] During break she mentioned that she wanted to know if she could resume practicing psychological time for half an hour a day, instead of fifteen minutes. [...]

[...] Ruburt may try a half-hour psychological time experiment tomorrow and Wednesday, if he chooses, and then we will see. [...]

(Note: Jane tried psychological time for half an hour in both the above instances. [...]

(For December 1 and 2 I tried psychological time also, but have nothing to report beyond a few minor sensations in the hands.)

[...] Now to some extent it was that poor, unhappy Sinful Self, a psychological structure formed by beliefs and feelings, that was also seeking its own redemption, since even it had outgrown the framework that so defined it. [...]

(Long pause.) Ruburt broke through both psychically and creatively—that is, the sessions almost immediately provided him with new creative inspiration and expression and with the expansions needed psychologically that would help fulfill his promise as a writer and as a mature personality. [...]

[...] At the same time he believed he was the Sinful Self, and that expression was highly dangerous—so between those two frameworks, the psychological organization, he operated as best he could, still seeking toward the natural value fulfillment that was his natural heritage. [...]

The creative abilities, again, can help provide the necessary psychological motion and direction—they have in a large regard in the past, but they have not gone far enough. [...]

(Jane has been practicing psychological time regularly, but reports that she has achieved little besides her usual excellent state. [...]

A particularly vivid dream is every bit as real to the inner self as a vivid psychological experience that occurs within the waking state. [...]

When this solution fails the impeding action will then materialize as a physical illness, or as an undesirable psychological condition. [...]

[...] Psychologically however the experience would be completely valid, and the dependency therefore expressed.

Psychologically there is no identity, although some aspects are shared. [...] That parallel self would not be recognized by you, as psychologically identical, and is indeed quite independent, and a by-product. [...]

[...] This time, you know intuitively, has no psychological inner relationship to the dream experience.

Imagine the analogy psychologically again, using the physical universe as the ego, with the dream universe in one direction and the entity on the other.

[...] Psychologically, dear friends, you do not. [...]

(Tuesday, May 26, 9:00 PM: While trying psychological time I had a few instances of my thrilling sensation. [...]

(Jane, while trying psychological time on Tuesday, 5/26 at 11:15 AM, tried to project herself to Bill Macdonnel’s hospital room. [...]

I am giving you various material along certain lines in preparation for a discussion of some of your own experiments with psychological time. [...]

[...] The self in nonphysical terms, in psychological, psychic and philosophic terms is not limited theoretically.

(I have yet to resume a planned study of psychological time, but as noted previously I continue to have small experiences almost daily. [...]

[...] Seth stated that he did not realize Jane would achieve this focusing of inner energy so early in her studies with psychological time, and furthermore said that it could have unpleasant effects if it was unwittingly directed toward someone else. [...]

I am of the opinion that your psychological time experiences will shortly become more vivid, Joseph; and also Ruburt’s. The inner spontaneity is coming back to Ruburt, after he tried too hard during the last of the summer.

[...] The change in the direction of the bed will also aid in psychological time experiments, when tried there.

[...] Habit, then, has not only a psychological, but an electrical and psychological nature and implication.

(While trying psychological time on January 19 and January 20, Jane achieved excellent states of “ecstasy” both times.

Many psychological intangibles, including dreams, have such an electric reality, and do exist as electric actions. [...]

(Here Seth refers to an article by Donald Hebb, a Canadian psychologist, who wrote in Psychology Today for November, 1978 about the decline in his own cognitive abilities. [...]

[...] You should also remember that each person is also immersed in Framework 2. The good intent and the creativity that individuals may at times be unable to express adequately, still exists and enriches the psychological atmosphere.

[...] And now he dons the psychological garb of a prince of the church.

(Another point I want to mention in connection with Seth’s material earlier in the session on psychology: His reference on page 3 to “evolutionary science” stems probably from our reading lately an article on Robert Jastrow, an astronomer connected with NASA. [...]

There are purposes not nearly as easy to describe, however, intents of a psychological nature, yearnings toward satisfactions not so easily categorized. [...]

[...] When we are speaking of the psychological role of destinations, however, there is more to consider.

[...] Your psychological intents instantly mobilize your energies on a psychic level. [...]

[...] Psychological experience is one such indisputable reality. [...]

They move through psychological time. [...]

[...] The impact of any given dream has physical, chemical, electromagnetic, psychological and psychic repercussions. [...]

(The following data are from Jane’s psychological time notebook:

(Jane has begun her psychological time experiments, though she is still not on a regular day-to-day basis. [...]

[...] Both of us have experienced it in varying degrees during psychological time, sometimes intensely. [...]

Ruburt experienced this in his psychological time experiment this afternoon, and it reminded me that more material definitely was needed here.

From your odor, an animal instantly builds up an image of the state of your psychological condition.
