“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] He did not want book dictation on the one hand, for that reason. [...]

[...] Science’s reasons are given as the only true statements of reality, with which no student is expected to quarrel. [...]

(9:36.) This is the reason why some scientists who either write or read science fiction, are the most incensed over any suggestion that some such ideas represent a quite valid alternate conception of reality. [...]

(Pause.) Our books are read also more often that it seems, for they are borrowed from others, and from libraries, by people who would not buy them in a store—not for financial reasons necessarily. [...]

[...] When you are annoyed, if possible state your annoyance to the person involved, reasonably, (underlined) but at the time of the annoyance. [...]

[...] That would be a healthy and reasonable response. [...]

[...] I am speaking now of reasonable reactions. [...]

[...] To begin a program of reasonable adequate response, to annoying stimuli, is your best insurance against overreaction and repression.

You have had a schism, in which reason and emotion seemed to be opposites. Revelation and reason seemed to be enemies. [...]

[...] There were, however, other reasons also—to do the church some small justice (amused). [...]

[...] Man has indeed forgotten how to interpret his revelations—but more importantly, he has forgotten how to receive them, and then how to perfect them in reason’s light.

[...]

The reasons do indeed have to do with electromagnetic realities which we have mentioned earlier. [...]

In the particular instances when Ruburt heard me, I simply do not know whether or not you would have heard me, and there are several reasons for this. [...]

[...] The reason is simply that conscious knowledge of such an effect would inhibit him, regardless of his best intentions, and the energy used would block the action or effect that I was trying to deliver.

A panic reaction could be set off without the reasons for it known. This leads to ego confusion since the personality, trying hard to act in what it thinks is a reasonable manner, cannot understand the vehemence of its rebellion.

I am rather surprised that this much came through, but it should at least clear the reasons for the basic conflict for you.

[...] Although I am not suggesting a return to this for various reasons.

I am doing my best to help clear the basic situation so that at least you will know the reasons behind it, and perhaps you can help Ruburt make a decision accordingly. [...]

[...] Whenever he fights what you want, or believe necessary, there is a very strong reason, and you had both better inquire into it, for he does not cross you lightly. [...]

For various reasons, the men in his family, his grandfather on his father’s side, whom he did not know, his maternal grandfather and his father, were highly independent, insisting upon working for themselves. [...]

The need for money, and the fear of being dependent then, led him to seek money through a method which, once acceptable, was now highly and critically unacceptable for the reasons given.

He felt his own respect and yours, he must take a job, and a regular one— and for the reasons given this had highly unpleasant repercussions that led to symptoms of immobility. [...]

[...] There is no reason for him to feel stupid or inferior because he chose a challenge for himself that few would take. [...]

[...] He was afraid of using his own power completely for that reason; and then he became afraid that it would not work if he did.

[...] For various reasons you have not really focused on solving the problem, but you have focused upon the problem, and there is a vast difference. [...]

[...] You were jealous of his rather limited projection attempts, and he stopped them for this reason.

[...] While you asked Ruburt to let me give you help for Ruburt’s condition, for some time the symptoms’ continuation was important to you for the reasons you now understand.

[...] There are many matters to discuss here, you see, and reasons for your own behavior, which should be understood.

[...] Frequent changes, as I told you, are beneficial for that reason.

[...] There are also reasons why the deep subconscious has allowed such difficulties to come about, and in most cases the basic reason here is a lack of understanding and communication between the various portions of the self, so that seemingly the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.

[...] The reason for this is that the data that would connect such a study to all other fields of interest is not recognized. [...]

[...] Yet this inner self, this inner vitality, is one of the main clues which man refuses to recognize, calling it an unreasonable assumption, but not willing to examine it for those characteristics which show it to be the most reasonable and logical of phenomena.

Existence within any field is more complicated than you dream either possible or reasonable. [...]

It is for this reason that such a rich diversity in such symbols is possible, and it is for this reason that one symbol can have various meanings to different levels of the personality. [...]

There is no reason to blame yourselves if you occasionally miss a session. [...]

[...] The reason being that the subconscious is not divided into neat levels, but is made up of many interconnecting and complicated corridors, rooms, etc.

[...] Also for economy and for the reason given above, symbols may stand for more than one physical reality, and so may they in some of the earlier predictions given in this material.

[...] The intuitions know first, but there is no reason why your intellects cannot follow. None of you in this room use 50% of your intellect and there is no reason why you cannot use it. None of you use 50% of your intuitional abilities, and there is no reason why you cannot use the abilities. [...]

[...] There is every reason in the world why using your abilities in such a manner should be fun. [...]

You brought yourselves together for a reason. [...]

[...] There was a reason for this.

[...] They came together precisely to give birth to the family, and for no other main reason as far as their joint reality was concerned. [...]

[...] An offshoot probable self might leave your reality at age 13, say, but could intersect with you again at age 30 for a variety of reasons — where to you, you suddenly change a profession, or become aware of a talent you thought you had forgotten, and find yourself developing it with amazing ease.

[...] Your birth, and that of your youngest brother (Richard) were highly charged for her — yours for the reasons just given, and your brother’s because it represented the time of your mother’s hysterectomy in that other reality. [...]

Now all of this should be taken with other material that I have given you, for all these reasons clicked together at the time. [...] But because he felt at this time unworthy, for the reasons given, then he must punish himself for its success, artistically speaking. [...]

[...] As long as you understand the reason behind these actions, you see, you will not overestimate them.

The reasons for this misguided activity have been given to some extent. [...]

[...] That is one of the reasons that he seeks what you call offbeat positions, but he has made progress in this line, and should continue to do so. [...]

[...] The reasons were obvious, I thought: This morning she’d awakened with her neck, back, and so forth in a very rigid state—so I wanted to know what had happened yesterday, or recently, to bring about this state of affairs when we’d thought we were making at least a modest kind of progress. [...]

(We had attempted to find reasons for her rigidity this morning through using the pendulum, with some success, we thought, but as the day passed there was little response physically on Jane’s part.

[...] I doubt if I for one will ever be able to fully comprehend that kind of reasoning—whether from Seth or anyone else—since I think that as the body —any body—recovers, its range of activities expands correspondingly instead of shrinking. [...]

Now yesterday Ruburt told Frank that he would see him every other week, and he told a white lie to cover the real reason. [...]

When you let yourselves alone, you are spontaneously reasonable, but because of your beliefs it seems that reason and spontaneity make poor bedfellows.

[...] (Pause.) Impulses are spontaneous, and you have been taught not to trust the spontaneous portions of your being, but to rely upon your reason and your intellect — which (amused) both operate, incidentally, quite spontaneously, by the way.

[...] It seems to many of you that impulses are unpredictable, contradictory, without reason, the result of erratic mixtures of body chemicals, and that they must be squashed with as much deadly intent as some of you might when you spray a mosquito with insecticide.

[...] Thus, he blocks his reason as fanatically as earlier he blocked his intuitions. [...]

It is far more important that you understand this than that you become overly concerned with labyrinthian “past reasons,” for you can get so lost in a negative approach that you forget that these beliefs can be changed in the present. For various reasons, you hold beliefs that you can alter at any time. [...]

[...] But whatever beliefs you accept, for whatever reasons, your point of power is in the present.

(10:09.) On quite a different level, riots often serve the same purpose, where the release of energy, for whatever reasons, introduces a group of individuals to the intimate recognition that highly concentrated vitality exists. [...]

(10:27.) There are as many reasons then for “earth illnesses” as there are for body illnesses. [...]

[...] Regardless of their reasons, beliefs can be changed.

Altering the beliefs automatically changes the reasons. [...]

[...] (Seth has said more than once that in those terms it’s even older than the evolutionists believe.) The reasons given for this young age seem reasonable enough, though I hardly have the background knowledge to know how good they’d sound to an evolutionary geologist, say….

“I’d say that both the creation and evolution models suffer from logical and emotional sloppiness, and that neither one presents a reasonable view of man’s origins. [...]

“In a magazine on parapsychology I recently read an article containing ideas that I think are at least a little more reasonable than those of creationism or evolutionism: Though the writer did take evolution for granted, he also put consciousness within matter.”

But why, I asked Jane, haven’t our best minds—at least those who have operated throughout the centuries of our recorded history—been able to arrive at some sort of reasonable consensus about the “origin” of our universe (if it had one), its processes, and our human place in it? [...]

[...] You have come here for your own reasons and though you should know what your reasons are, someday I will tell you. [...]

[...] You have more staying power than you know and you (Amelia) should realize that you are also here for a reason and that you build more that garden roads. [...]

There is no reason to fear your inner selves. [...]

[...] If all illness has been adopted by a personality for a particular reason in this life, then it has been adopted so that the personality involved will understand the illness as a materialized symbol for a challenge or problem that the personality has set. [...]

Now I understand that to one closely and daily involved with the woman, it is difficult to see purpose or reason in the condition. [...]

[...] He decides to take the role for various reasons of his own, and the inner self knows that the role was chosen.

[...] Others also respond, and are in this drama for their own reasons. [...]
