“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It contains within it the knowledge of the present male’s past female histories, and the intuitive understanding of all the female qualities with which the personality is innately endowed.

[...] The priestess, the mother, the young witch, the wife, and the old wise woman — these general types are archetypes, simply because they are “root elements” representing, symbolically, the various kinds of so-called female qualities and the various kinds of female lives that have been lived by males.

[...] You have a gift for bringing out the spontaneity from others, for calling from them qualities of giving and letting go, and in so doing you ride the spontaneity of others also—you can go along with it. [...]

[...] You have glorified what orgasm is—the unattainable, and therefore, the symbol of all the other qualities you want to achieve or think you should achieve, but do not have. [...]

But when these qualities are demanded of you, in your mind, or when you believe you must perform them, you become frozen. [...]

[...] Each kind of life has its own qualities that cannot be compared with those of others, and that often cannot be communicated.

[...] It is instead an undefinable quality. [...]

Of course, these ideas would apply to any form of life as we ordinarily think of that quality. [...]

Your scientists are generally, now, intellectually oriented, believing in reason above the intuitions, taking it for granted that those qualities are opposites. [...]

[...] In Ruburt’s case the fear was greater, until it seemed sometimes that if he succeeded in his work he would succeed at some peril: you might be put in an unpleasant light, or he might become a fanatic, displaying those despicable, feminine hysterical qualities. [...]

[...] Again, remember the two of you have very strong do-it-yourself qualities, exhibited long before the sessions began. [...]

[...] I think that my appreciation of wildlife has grown considerably since we’ve encountered so much trouble physically in our own lives: the sheer ability to move with nature’s grace and skill has gradually become very important, and to me the animals express this quality perfectly: the ‘coons, the deer, the dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, chipmunks; the birds, and yes, even the insects....)

[...] This ego that so behaved was then simply a group of particular qualities belonging to Ruburt, that were given control for a while to meet particular circumstances, and then stubbornly refused to return to the whole personality.

[...] The qualities thrown up to the surface were those in the past most capable to handle highly difficult situations, and in some of these stubbornness was, comparatively speaking, a virtue.

[...] Ruburt was often a male, and he sometimes attempts to manhandle the feminine aspects of his present personality, to inflict upon it literally qualities that go against its grain. [...]

These are recommendations given yesterday, of course, but their life-giving qualities can be taken advantage of now. [...]

[...] It was not given the unifying qualities of intent and purpose. In the helper, you see, you find a binding quality, where the deepest drives of the personality for good are freed, actually, released in another realm of activity to continue the personality’s main intents.

[...] Far more is involved in the experience of life, however, than the satisfaction of bare needs, for life is everywhere possessed with a desire toward quality—a quality that acknowledges the affirming characteristics of pleasure itself.

(Long pause at 9:00.) One of the main purposes of dreaming, therefore, is to increase man’s pleasure, which means to increase the quality of living itself. [...]

[...] Now, her already acute hearing began to magnify sounds — the rustle of cellophane as she opened a pack of cigarettes, the quality of my voice as I talked to our cat, Willy, the noise of my handling the newspaper. [...]

[...] By now her voice had acquired a hard-to-define richer quality, joyous but subdued.

[...] You will, however, emphasize one certain quality above all others — your athletic nature, your spiritual bent, whatever it may be.

[...] When Jane did begin speaking in trance, her voice was peculiarly gentle in quality—lighter than the usual stronger and heavier Seth voice by a good bit, almost as though she was proceeding somewhat cautiously. [...]

[...] Jane’s voice still persisted in the light, gentle, almost lilting quality, quite different from the usual deeper Seth voice.) The Seth personality has been an intermediary, and a legitimate one. [...]

[...] Seth as you then thought of him, was far more than a delivery boy however, for it was his peculiar personality, and his particular qualities, which gave the material life for you.

Now, each whole self, or multidimensional personality, has its own purposes, missions, and creative endeavors that are initial and basic parts of itself and that determine those qualities that make it eternally valid and eternally seeking. [...]

[...] I believe, for example, that all creativity and consciousness is born in the quality of play, as opposed to work, in the quickened intuitional spontaneity that I see as a constant through all my own existences, and in the experience of those I know.

[...] The same qualities and spirit that you bring to your work should be extended to your life pattern, for they are correct for you both, and you operate at prime efficiency then.

Otherwise you utilize some qualities at the expense of others and do not as quickly attain your goals. [...]

[...] Pu²³⁸, a high-quality isotope consumed in commercial nuclear reactors, has a half-life of about 88 years. [A bomb-quality isotope, Pu²³⁹, has a half-life of around 24,400 years.])

[...] Probably that there is no such thing in nature as perfection, and that although we think we can conceive of such a quality, we really cannot—hence the way is left open for such messy manifestations as “life,” etc.)

[...] (Long pause.) The nature of creativity, regardless of any given specific manifestation, is shown in an overall generalized fashion that automatically increases the quality of life, and such benefits are definite regardless of what other conditions also become apparent. [...]

[...] The body, as explained in this chapter, also has “invisible” counterparts composed of the electromagnetic properties and the interior sound and light qualities.

[...] (Pause.) Many of you for your own reasons pursue courses that do not involve an even development of abilities, an overall balanced picture, for example, but choose to express and experiment with certain qualities to the exclusion of others. [...]

[...] Up until the present, science has consistently tried to do without the so-called feminine qualities. [...]

Generally, reason and intellect are then considered male qualities, and the frameworks for civilization, science, and an organized world. [...]

[...] Because of his psychic abilities he picked up these qualities quite accurately. [...]

Both of them have some qualities in common, therefore. [...]

The emotional qualities will also help your own work, of course. [...]

[...] You draw to yourself in this existence and in all others those qualities upon which you concentrate your attention. [...]

[...] Only true compassion and love will lead to an understanding of the nature of good, and only these qualities will serve to annihilate the erroneous and distortive concepts of evil.

Now: If you expand your sense of love, of health, and existence, then you are drawn in this life and in others toward those qualities; again, because they are those upon which you concentrate. [...]

[...] The stubborn qualities will later serve us well. [...]

There is a quality in the oil, an extract from the peanuts, that is immediately dissolved through the skin, that lubricates and eases both the joints and muscles. [...]
