“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] To some extent each reader can initiate such private journeys. [...]

The 92nd session for September 28, 1964, was a basic one for information on dreams, and Jane quotes various portions of it in chapters 5 and 14, as listed above; I ask the reader to review that material especially (and in both books). [...]

[...] (I remind the reader to check Appendix 11.)

[...] For now, however, I would like each reader to consider the members of his or her family, so that in a more direct fashion the reader can find in private experience a realization of some ideas I want to present.

[...] In the remaining class excerpts, Seth answers questions that readers might also have in mind.

[...] And that is what I shall tell the readers of my book. [...]

[...] It may also strike you, my readers, as quite shocking when I tell you that there is no such thing, basically, as disease. [...]

Certainly, such ideas will sound like medical heresy to many readers, but the sooner you begin to look at health and “disease” in these new terms, the healthier and happier you will become. [...]

[...] I hope, therefore, not only to explain the multidimensional aspects of personality, but to give each reader some glimpse of that greater identity that is his own.

[...] She said she had the impression that the material from Seth was highly condensed and directed, aimed at the reader, that he was trying to get the ideas across as clearly and concisely as possible.

I can tell you, for example, that there is consciousness even within a nail, but few of my readers will take me seriously enough to stop in midsentence, and say good morning or good afternoon to the nearest nail they can find, stuck in a piece of wood.

[...] And that is what I shall tell the readers of my book.

[...] Seth obviously elaborated on that material here, but instead of quoting it in Appendix 18 also, I thought of letting the reader first come across it in this session; and so, to whatever tiny extent, this additional information now alters each reader’s present reality by changing his or her conception of that Jane-Ruburt-Seth relationship.

[...] I suggest the reader review that material at this time.

[...] And does not each of my readers possess the same innate capacity? [...]

[...] I thought many readers would come up with that question at the same time I did.)

[...] Any reader can easily discover this by examining the groups to which he or she belongs.

[...] To my readers these names mean nothing. [...]

[...] “Here I think the stuff is great, but then I worry about how the reader’s going to relate to it … I knew I was spelling out those names.”

[...] I’m sure that these excerpts from the material itself and some sample reincarnational readings will give most readers greater insights into their own personalities and the situations in which they find themselves. I hope that Seth’s theories on health will benefit all my readers, and that the material on personality will help each discover for himself the multidimensional reality that is his heritage.

[...] It served to introduce the students to Seth, and I will let a few excerpts from it serve the same purpose now, introducing Seth to those readers who have not heard of him:

[...] The reader will have to make his own judgments, but personally I do accept his theories as valid and significant.

(The same reader also sent us a copy of a chapter out of a book by a Dr. Ariola, who I think writes for New Realities magazine also on health foods and related topics. [...] Indeed, the reader response to Mass Events has been excellent, and possibly already heavier than on any of her previous books. [...]

(We thought her desire has been triggered by a book a reader had mailed so that we received it yesterday—Magical Child, by Joseph Chilton Pierce, copyright 1977. [...]

[...] The introduction applies to each reader, for I hope that you will now be able to meet yourself face to face with a greater understanding of who and what you are.

Certainly most of my readers, however, will have success with some of the suggested exercises. [...]

Each reader, however, should in one way or another sense his own vitality in a way quite new to him, and find avenues of expansion opening within himself of which he was earlier unaware. [...]

Dictation: Since this book was begun, Ruburt has been working with his beliefs, and using methods in his own way as every reader must.

The same kind of dilemma can arise in any reader’s experience whenever two strongly conflicting core beliefs meet. [...]

[...] Each reader can utilize the same method whether or not artistic achievement is also involved, through objectifying personal beliefs in a dialogue form. [...]

The same artificial need to vindicate being is present in many of my readers, and various core beliefs may be built up to hide this inner insecurity. [...]

There are very definite, excellent side-effects of growing older, that we will also discuss in this book — but here I want to assure the reader that basically speaking there are no diseases brought about by old age alone (intently).

[...] The subject of suicide will also be discussed in a different context, and when I invite my readers to start over, I want it understood that you can indeed start over regardless of your age or circumstances.

Now the same exercise for readers will be a part of the book in a later chapter dealing with that subject partially. [...]

[...] Things can get complicated, though, and at times while preparing these volumes I found myself wondering just how to make clear certain points of reference without leaving the reader confused by dates, session numbers, or other matter. Although I think my system of presentation has a kind of order, still it’ll take study at times, and I can only ask the reader to patiently go along. [...]

Since the sections themselves are of unequal length, for a while I contemplated trying a four-and-two division; but as Jane commented, “Three sections in one book are enough of a bite for the reader.” [...]

[...] Not only would the reader be constantly involved in looking up specific items, but we felt that the shorter notes especially would be too far removed from their intimate positions within the sessions; we wanted these to enhance individual sessions directly without getting in the way, so I worked out a compromise which offers some sort of orderly presentation without being too rigid.

[...] These pieces can be read at any time, but I prefer that the reader go over each one when it’s first mentioned in a footnote, just as he or she ought to check out all other reference material in order throughout both volumes.

[...] In his or her own way, each reader can easily utilize the method.

[...] Reading this book, for example, any reader might say, “My trouble is that I am too emotional.” [...]

[...] Now reading this, many readers will be taken back, for they believe that love is the impetus, and that love is opposed to aggression. [...]

[...] You need not worry about a Seth Reader. [...]

(Before the session I told Jane, half jokingly, that she should publish a Seth Reader, said volume to contain Seth material on many subjects, presented in a rather more simplified way.)

[...] This work, just beginning, gave rise to the idea for a Seth Reader, etc.)

[...] By then you — my readers — will be familiar enough with the unknown reality to understand answers given in a different context. [...]

[...] They intertwine, not only through the psychic organization that I have given to “Unknown” Reality, but because of the great uniting nature within the consciousness of each reader.

[...] Each reader has also journeyed to a new position within the psyche, however. [...]

Give us a moment… Some readers have brothers or sisters, or both. [...]

[...] We’re presenting that dream material here because it contains elements of general interest, and covers points some readers have touched upon in their letters to Jane [and Seth]. [...]

[...] Emir, however, is of an in-between length — shorter than a novel, far longer than most children’s books — and she wonders: Is that fact going to complicate Prentice-Hall’s presentation of Emir as a story for “readers of all ages”? [...]
