“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is a steady even flow in which conscious activity through the neurological structure brings about events, and a familiar pattern of reaction is established. [...]

[...] In the most intimate of terms, your past and future are modified by your present reactions. [...]

[...] Physically, you are overwhelming your body as it responds to a state of loneliness through chemical and hormonal reactions. [...]

[...] In some underground of sensation, however, the buried evidences of stimuli and reaction experienced during those numberless “past” afternoons still exist. [...]

You consciously give the signals for reaction. [...]

[...] Although a chemical change results in a new substance the total weight of the ingredients involved remains practically the same; in such ordinary reactions the amount of matter converted into heat is infinitesimal. [...]

[...] While legitimate in themselves he watches your reaction to them very closely.

[...] I wanted a word from Seth on what our reactions should, or could, be, in light of yesterday’s session about living in the moment.

This does not mean that you should not write a clear letter stating your own reaction against the cover, if you so choose.

[...] After I’d finished the session, especially the last portion and my notes about my own reactions, which upset Jane, she told me that yesterday she’d actually been very blue the last hour I was there. [...] I said it wasn’t what others said so much, as her reaction to what they said. [...]

[...] You simply do not think that you do and you do not connect your actions today with the information that you will perceive tomorrow and so your own reactions escape you. [...]

Now you are used, to some extent, to studying your dreams for precognitive information and checking dream events against future events, but you are not used to checking your reactions in the waking state today against the information that you learn tomorrow. [...]

[...] Your reactions occur in a multidimensional context whether or not you know it. [...]

[...] My own reaction, after doing a lot of work on them, was that it would be best to cut most of them out. [...]

This was largely the basis for your reaction this evening. [...]

[...] This also had something to do with this evening’s reaction. [...]

[...] Although your reactions at times may be different, and although you may not agree with me, still Ruburt will rarely be unrealistic in understanding or in utilizing methods that are highly practical, though neither of you may understand them as such.

He is well aware of your mother’s vitality, and she is well aware subconsciously that her vitality still goads him into a semblance of reaction. [...]

[...] They are the invisible formations resulting from reaction to any kind of stimuli. [...] Their relative “duration” depends upon the original intensity behind them — that is, behind the original thought, emotion, stimuli, or reaction that brought them into being.

[...] Some are indeed quite natural reactions, and others are learned reactions to certain events. [...]

[...] He does not have ambiguous feelings to supercharge his reactions in this particular area. [...]

[...] These are simply variations in reaction that you should both understand.

[...] Anyhow, the letter engendered immediate reactions in Jane of a very positive nature. [...]

[...] It then became evident that a lot of her poor feelings lately have been connected to worries over work, what Prentice-Hall would or wouldn’t publish, etc.—an old reaction that I should have been more prepared for, I guess, but had lost sight of in our day-to-day hassles. [...]

[...] My own reaction to the events in our lives over the years was that consciously we had reached limits, and that it was beholden upon the rest of the personality—Jane’s especially—that it recognize this and back off enough from its own goals so that the physical body could recover, at least enough to ensure survival and a working life in which it could deal with life’s daily goals, and arts, too. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The affair with the school psychologist, and the class here, infuriated him, and he hid his reaction. [...]

[...] Often in such situations he will hurt himself because he has an exaggerated (underlined) idea of the hurt any normal aggressive reaction, from a frown to a verbal one, can have.

[...] The child’s strength is nothing against the parent's. In Ruburt’s case such normal reactions were out of the question.

[...] I’d managed to shovel in the driveway twice, without reactions—a great relief. [...]

[...] If we needed preparation for any reactions after publication, etc.

[...] A nervous physical reaction—including my stomach and back upsets—to yesterday’s personal events, I thought. [...]

[...] Current events can trigger such reactions, therefore. [...]

(As we began to reread Monday’s session this morning, Jane said something that triggered a reaction on my part that I felt was based on material Seth gave in that session: “I tell my body every day that I trust it, that it can bear my weight when I go to the john, for example,” or words closely to that effect. [...]

[...] He looks for your approval and reaction, and your own responses have been excellent in that regard (leaning forward stiffly). [...]

[...] Such issues help place certain of Ruburt’s reactions in perspective. [...]

[...] In fact, his lecture tour of the United States turned out to be a failure because of the hostile press reaction.

[...] When she returned home she used the pendulum to learn that she had been repressing reactions to a statement of mine of the other day, to the effect that I didn’t think she’d be able to get around well enough to go on tour for Seth Speaks, if Prentice-Hall asked us to. [...]

(I remembered making the remarks, but hadn’t realized her reactions to them, although I had noticed her increased impairment walking. [...]

[...] He was also ashamed of himself for the reactions, and hence did not want to go out to be seen. [...]

[...] He could have been reassured by your reactions. [...]

Ruburt has been afraid of your reactions as Events and God of Jane meet the public world. [...]

Ruburt at his end performed in the same manner: how would he react to your reaction?—and again, regardless of what either of you may think at certain times. [...]

[...] I am not suggesting that you become inflexible in that regard, but that you understand your individual and joint reactions more clearly. [...]
