“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Some systems use methods of perception that cannot be explained, since they contain nothing that is familiar to you. Within most systems death as you know it, with the meaning you attach to it, has no importance. The advanced consciousness can focus within one in quotes “life” while already sending portions of itself into the next quote “life,” as for example you might in school take advanced calculus while still remaining in an elementary philosophy class. Do you understand?

Verbalization is not a basic method of communication for in quotes “higher” forms of consciousness, nor is it for lower forms of consciousness. It is only at your particular intermediate state that verbalization as such is so important. It is a main basis for your species. Because of its importance at your particular stage it is an excellent method for our purposes. In many other systems of reality it is never adopted, for it is in many ways restrictive.

These are not to be thought of as colored pictures however, for neither do they use that kind of imagery, and yet a high degree of preciseness is communicated. In your terms there would be, in quotes, “words” for all kinds of subtle emotional states for which you have no words.

The whole psychological structure is therefore entirely different. It is also more demanding. The emotions and intuitions are the basis of experience, and the means of getting knowledge in most other systems. They have their own in quotes “reasoning processes” of which you are little aware, since at your point of development you use the intellect as a rule in its place, and make a clear distinction between the two areas.

[...] When you think in terms of having (in quotes) “a certain amount of ability,” then you become concerned that you use every portion of it, when in greater terms no such “it” exists.

[...] Your own (in quotes) “psychic abilities” now give you easy (underlined) access to inspiration. [...]

[...] Do not harness yourself with the idea that you had (underlined) “so much” (in quotes) ability, and that you have not used it. [...]

Wheat fields for example, filled not only with the vitality of sun and growth but bristling with creativity that (in quotes) “destroyed” each part of itself in death, that was transformed instantaneously into a new spectacular form in which the creativity and destruction were always apparent, and yet one in which violence was necessarily turned into life.

Other speakers of different groups would “specialize” (in quotes) in the same way.

[...] There are some (in quotes) “defects” of Ruburt’s that are even hard for me to surmount, and in this particular case for a special reason. [...]

Such feeling-tone “words” (in quotes), with pantomime or the expressive body, can therefore come closer often than structured language to convey various levels of emotion, to explain levels of subjective feeling that are often distorted in recognizable words.

You also understand the nature of “truth” (in quotes) better than you did, and are beginning to allow it its mobility and ever-changing grace in your paintings and in our work.

Within your system, for the “first time”, in quotes, individualized consciousness is strongly-enough organized to do, in quotes, “good or evil.” [...]

[...] Now the first, quote “mass” entries do not give you war. [...] They do not realize the potential of their own energy, and it is not until they begin to realize it that they are, quote, “led into temptation.”

[...] Regardless of what you may think of their present performance at any given “time” in quotes, it is from this system that the greatest potentials emerge; for having dealt with it, consciousness undergoes one of the severest tests in learning to handle its own energy.

[...] Work is needed on both of their parts in that he is himself pushing for predictions, —whether he realizes this or not, and trying to bring more “across” in quotes, than the bridge can carry. [...]

“Later,” in quotes, he learns to become one or the other of those quote “future” selves by leapfrogging, so to speak, from one thread to the other.

[...] Actually “time,” in quotes, exists as the pulses leap the nerve ends. [...]

[...] Now your neurological system is physical but it is based upon your own inner capabilities as of, quote, “now.”

[...] Self A, now on thread A, would not be aware in his present, of the quote “future” selves on the other threads. [...]

The very point of my material is precisely that it goes beyond ideas conventionally held in most, quote, “mediumistic circles.” [...]

Now, the personalities that are reached under ordinary seance quote “conditions”, are not personalities such as mine. [...]

[...] He supposed he was being “good” in quotes, when he tried to follow the interpretation of others, and their idea of good. [...]

[...] Any of the leading psychic books of the day that were, again in quotes, “spiritualistically inclined”, for the term itself is misleading. [...]

[...] This is the kind of thing I have been speaking of—the avoidance of a direct confrontation with those (in quotes) “negative emotions” blocks out the one emotional (in quotes) “solution”: an emotional statement on your part that counters it—a meeting of emotions.

[...] It will be (in quotes) “constructed” in such a fashion that it allows the exploration of many different levels of reality. [...]

As you know, there is constant interaction going on within all portions of the montella, these possible because of the defining boundary (in quotes) “barrier.”

[...] The most (in quotes) “objective” montella is a symbol of course. [...]

[...] He did not want it (in quotes) “flooding the market,” used by people who would follow the techniques and then write for help.

[...] Even the (in quotes) “distortions” are necessary elements to their growth.

The units (electromagnetic) about which I have been speaking do not have any specific, regular, preordained “life,” in quotes. [...]

The “initial,” in quotes, originating emotional energy that sets any given unit into motion, and forms it, then causes the unit to become a highly charged electromagnetic field, with those characteristics of changing polarities just mentioned.

[...] (Gestures.) The “nucleus,” in quotes—now using a cell analogy—if these units were cells, which they are not, then it would be as if the nucleus were constantly changing position, flying off in all directions, dragging the rest of the cell along with it. [...]

Its intensity however can vary to amazing degrees, so that it could, relatively speaking, be too weak, or fall back (pause), not strong enough to form the basis for matter; but to project into another system perhaps where less intensity is required for “materialization,” in quotes. [...]

[...] Yet it is doubtful that without this “period” in quotes, of contracted yearning, that All That Is could concentrate its energy sufficiently enough to create the realities that existed in probable suspension within it.

[...] Later the unspecified nature of these “dreams,” in quotes, grew more particular and vivid. [...]

[...] However it also meant “losing”, in quotes, a portion of his own consciousness, for it was within that portion that they were held in bondage. [...]

All That Is therefore “lost,” in quotes, a portion (underlined) of itself in that creative endeavor. [...]

[...] Portions of the entity in quotes “arrive” before other portions, and send us communications that we can hardly understand. [...] It has seen the birth and death of many physical universes such as your own; and the entities within it, in quotes, “at one time” were the inhabitants of such universes. [...]

[...] The main nature of events, the majority of events, do not in quotes “solidify” until the last moment, in your terms. [...]

“Outside” in quotes of the realities of which I am aware and others are aware, there are systems that we cannot describe. [...]

[...] Dr. Carl Sagan of Cornell University was quoted in the article. Dr Sagan was also quoted in Otto’s article, regarding the ancient Sumerian-Akkadian legends and UFO’s, to our surprise. [...]

Your present civilization and the “old” (in quotes) Sumerian (spelled) civilization, exist at once, then, simultaneously, but to speak to you about these I must use a time sequence you understand. If it were understood that these civilizations exist at once then you would not be so surprised that they “were” (in quotes) able to build structures that you cannot build in your now.

[...] It contained an article by our friend Otto Binder, entitled “UFO’s Own Earth and All Mankind” This article touched upon many ideas we are interested in, and quoted astrophysicist Fred Hoyle, among others, re the ownership of the race idea. [...]

[...] Some warnings were misunderstood, then, as punishment by the gods for (in quotes) “moral misdoing.”

[...] Otherwise it is impossible to understand how for example, an 18th-century town, a 20th-century town, and an ancient village can all exist not merely at once, but also on occasion in the same (in quotes) “location.”

[...] These (in quotes) “divisions” of the self simply enable it to multiply its experience. [...]

[...] In the framework of three-dimensional reality in which reincarnation exists, the structure of the body itself requires (in quotes) “time” lapses. [...]

[...] The emphasis will be on an object’s “placement,” (in quotes) in title and space as you think of it, and on the ever-changing pattern of force that constantly alter relationships of any kind.

[...] They are groups of relationships that are then transposed upon (in quotes) “reality.” [...]

[...] Once you think of a “tree” (in quotes) as a tree, it takes great effort before you can see it freshly ever again, as a living individual entity. [...]

[...] One very small aspect of a cordella is sized upon and (in quotes) “frozen,” so to speak, its ordinary motion and the rhythm of its changes therefore unrecognized. [...]

One had to do with the in quotes “problem” of artistic creativity versus womanhood, and this along with personal background brought about a distrust of the feminine organs. [...]

[...] Now even after the initial causes of the mistrust no longer strongly operate, you are left with the results of in quotes “your faith,” in this case the faith in immobility. [...]

[...] The fact remains however that many individuals choose to “specialize” in quotes, learning for example how to translate creative thought into physical form, or into physical abundance, and relatively ignore other areas.

[...] There was no great connection with you, except that you visited her once, and the two of you were both involved in what you may call the in quotes “mystery” religions. [...]

He still believes that he must hold himself in reins, because he will (in quotes) “run wild.” [...]

[...] Some quotes for him to recognize in the future:

[...] I’ll quote a few lines from the closing passages for that session in order to lead into what follows for Jane.

[...] In addition to those concerns, on occasion I found myself rearranging the quoted discussions a bit — although really to a minor degree — for even greater brevity and clarity. [...]

[...] Since the excerpts are still more representative than complete, however, due to the accumulated mass of information available, my own choices enter in: ESP class data are quoted a number of times; included is material summarizing Jane’s own theories about the Seth phenomena, as she worked them out in her recently completed Adventures in Consciousness; but reincarnation, while mentioned often, isn’t stressed in terms of particulars — that is, I refer to Seth’s statements that he, Jane and I led closely involved lives in Denmark in the 1600’s, but those lives aren’t studied per se. [...]

[...] Why does he speak of Jane as a male — and so as “he” and “him?” In Note 6 for Session 679, in Volume 1, I quoted Seth from the 12th session for January 2, 1964:) Sex, regardless of all your fleshy tales, is a psychic phenomenon, merely certain qualities which you call male and female. [...]

(Sessions 12 through 15 are briefly quoted in Note 4 for the 680th session, in Volume 1; Seth remarked upon the impossibility of closed systems, his own senses [including something of their limits], his ability to visit other “planes” of reality, and his “incipient” man’s form.

[...] I’ve also developed the habit of repeating Seth’s quote from my own body, as he gave it in the deleted session for April 18: “You worry too much. [...]

[...] He’s indicated this kind of punctuation throughout the book, but is usually more concerned about words to be underlined, or put in quotes or parentheses. [...]
