“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The relationship can indeed be begun again, but only under completely new terms, and only with self-knowledge on our friends part. Otherwise, the relationship will be continued and you will be no better off than you were before and worse. [...]

[...] On the psychological level, you need to know why the relationship between you and your wife continued as it was for so many years. [...]

([Florence;] “If we have relationships in our lives which are emotionally necessary—as Seth said was the case with Brad and his wife...”

Now, I asked our friend to question himself to discover why he felt it necessary to continue the relationship, and what emotional needs were being met. [...]

Philip would do well in his home relationships to be more open, for there is a possibility that his secretiveness could here cause serious difficulties. The home relationship is a strong basis for his inner security, and if he threatens it this will be seriously reflected in his other areas of activity.

As we mentioned in our last session, the personality cannot be considered alone, but it must be thought of in its relationship to action and to all those aspects of reality of which it is a part.

There was in the past disagreement as to his capability in the field of human relationships, as far as the ordinary person is concerned. [...]

There is an individual within the political organization who, all unwittingly, gives information to Philip’s superiors through a family in-law relationship. [...]

[...] In a book we must use words, but such analogies can, if you let them, conjure up within your imagination some feeling of your intimate relationship with all other reality. [...]

There is an obviously intimate relationship between each cell and another. [...]

[...] So is your relationship with your mate, your boss, and the kinds of events with which you are uniquely familiar.

Now Ruburt had only one parent available most of the time (long pause), and he did not feel secure in that relationship—a situation chosen ahead of time, now. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s relationship with his mother left much to be desired. [...]

[...] Such encounters provide an emotional support that cements feelings with your fellow beings, and that in a fashion helps minimize in the present some of the defects of Ruburt’s childhood relationship with his mother. [...]

[...] You enjoyed your relationship with each other, the relationship with friends, and you did also enjoy some financial success.

[...] Ruburt felt some guilt in expressing psychic abilities in such a marked fashion, when it seemed that the male of the relationship should be the most highly talented, and by far the most successful financially (intently). So your roles in that manner upset both of you at times.

In dreams this relationship often is revealed. The truth behind such relationships is inherent in all God-Man, God-Woman, Animal-Man, or Animal-Woman legends and mythology. [...]

It has been truthfully said that the “unconscious” is intimately aware of the most minute details of your health, state of mind, and relationships. [...]

[...] It is true that the ego’s responsibility is with the relationship between the self and the physical environment. [...]

This will then allow us to proceed into the relationship between the waking and sleeping personality, and discover the many ways in which the personality’s aims and goals are not only reflected but sometimes achieved in and through the dream condition.

[...] He recognizes the vast complexity that lies behind our relationship, and therefore is ever aware of psychological issues encountered by few other people, relatively speaking. His relationship with me, and mine with him, is bound to be interpreted in multitudinous ways by our readership, the public and so forth. [...]

[...] What it means in the context of tonight’s discussion is that he feels there is no established framework that he will accept to explain our relationship in, say, the public arena outside of the books, which allow him to make considered statements, and provide room for reasoned thought. [...]

[...] His beliefs about time are important in relationship to his work ideas. [...]

So the day became nothing more than a framework in which he must work, and in which all relationships had little value except as they were interpreted through work. [...]

He still does not completely understand the nature of what he calls Sumari time, in relationship with inspiration. [...]

Give us a moment … The complete physician would be a person who learned to understand the dynamics of being, the soul-body relationship — one who was healthy in his or her own body. [...]

[...] Your reality must be seen in its relationship to others. [...]

[...] In his material after 11:23 especially, Seth discusses the doctor-patient relationship, and the feelings of powerlessness that can beset the individual during times of illness.

[...] Our relationship, simply in these terms, is multidimensional. For you also react to me unknowingly on the basis of other relationships with me that you do not consciously recall.

Now within our relationship as a triangle, dimensions are open and constantly changing. [...]

[...] Ruburt tried to put his understanding to practical use in terms of daily life, your relationship, work, finances, his classes, yet he found himself with definite physical hassles. You have encountered them through your relationship with him. [...]

[...] And for some time he felt it to be a framework in which man could discover the truth about himself, and his relationship with the universe—but always there was the hope that some established system was there someplace. [...]

You have with all of this the natural need, again, to be accepted to some degree by your fellows, to find a point of relation, an accepted platform for relationships.

A relationship in this life can continue to develop along those terms, with some degree of success, but the issue is open. There are no reasons from the past that would more or less necessitate the relationship. If the relationship is not carried through, then with the probabilities as I see them now, another strong one will develop close to the end of three years from now, involving a woman with whom you will get along very well, although she was merely a third grand-nephew in the past.

I will not now go into a discussion concerning your father, since there are several matters here, and the relationship was a fairly long one. [...]

In these, and all situations, it should be remembered that the body is always trying to heal itself, and that even the most complicated relationships are trying to untangle.

[...] There are people who undergo a series of highly unsatisfactory relationships, for example, while another person might experience a series of recurrent diseases instead. [...]

[...] In later years however, and partially as a result of the relationship between the two of you, and your joint ideas, Ruburt became worried that he would not do his thing as a writer. [...]

[...] He felt this also in his relationship with you—that he could serve you best by writing and cutting out all other activities. [...]

[...] The peculiar relationship existing between you and Ruburt was also a prerequisite, and so your permission and acceptance was also needed.

[...] You have been connected with the same entity, though you have sprung apart from it, but the inner relationship adds to the power available. [...]

[...] You came back however with your former brother in a wife-husband relationship and the farm connection in your later life has to do with this earlier reincarnational existence, in your terms, in which you (Faith) were very closely involved. [...]

[...] (Jane was so addressed last night in ESP class by one of her students, a male.) He did idealize you in the early days of your relationship, and then made the transition that he mentioned. [...]

Later this will not be necessary, though it should be a frequent pattern in your relationship, and you should feel quite free to discuss your fears then also. [...]

[...] He can also give expression to a very deep concern about his fellow man, safely, since the family relationship is not involved.

THE STATE OF CHILDHOOD IN
RELATIONSHIP TO HEALTH, AND HINTS FOR PARENTS

We will begin the next chapter, which is to be called: “The State of Childhood in Relationship to Health, and Hints for Parents.”
