“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] As I quoted myself in the opening notes for the 840th session: “What is the real relationship between the host organism and disease?” See Session 840 itself, and certain parts of Session 841.

[...] Some that involve relationships with others, you do not even have words for. [...]

(9:52.) I will give the beginning of an answer (to my question about the relationship between the host organism and disease). [...]

Though scientists might find “cancer cells,” and though it might seem that cancer is caused by a virus, cancer instead involves a relationship, say, between what you might think of as a host and parasite, in those terms — and to some extent the same applies to any disease, including smallpox, though the diseases themselves may appear to have different causes completely. [...]

[...] It includes other interweaving physical relationships that bind you with all others upon your planet at the same adjacent level of time. [...] You will have a far closer relationship with some than with others. [...]

(10:45.) Give us a moment … These may or may not be closer to you than family relationships, but psychically speaking they will share a certain kind of history with you. [...]

Actually, Seth has been describing in various ways the indissoluble relationship between consciousness and information (or consciousness and anything else), ever since Jane began holding the sessions over a decade ago. [...]

The reason that Dick has had the same father twice is simply that he died at such a young age, before the relationship could be worked out between the two. [...] They were attracted to each other at that time, and renewed that relationship in this existence.

I may add here that they chose to renew this relationship, that is, free will operating in this case as in all others. There are always varieties of personal problems to be worked out, but the time, place and relationship is left to choice. [...]

If your mother or father found continued life together completely unbearable, which incidentally they do not, then in all likelihood one of their entities would suggest through the inner senses that the relationship be discontinued. [...]

[...] The mind would contain all data having to do with past existences and intertwining purposes, problems and relationships, but it would only give such data to the brain as was necessary for its present existence.

Some difficulty lies in the inner psychological relationship between the husband and the wife—an inner issue she does not face, and reacts to the issue in physical terms. The issue itself is based partially in her own relationship to both her mother and father. That is, the issue is frightening subconsciously, because of peculiar and individual attitudes caused by her own relationship to her parents. [...]

[...] Many people, however, will find they have a natural knack for relationships with others, in which the known value cannot be easily judged, as it can, say, in the works of an artist or writer.

Instead, such people will indeed perform a kind of artistry of relationships, composing, say, symphonic, emotional compositions that indeed play as masterfully upon the emotions as the pianist upon the keys. [...]

[...] Your body is composed not only of the stuff within it that, say, X-rays or autopsies can reveal, but it also involves profound relationships, alliances and affiliations that nowhere physically show. [...]

1. In Note 1 for the 840th session I cited an insight we’d recently obtained into the relationship between Jane and Seth, and mentioned how we’re always on the lookout for such clues. [...]

[...] We are discussing now the outer ego in relation to the inner ego, and describing a situation in terms of relationships. Other relationships would show both the outer and inner egos in a different light. Relationships are also the result of tensions, and each action sets up a new tension.

Creative distortion, in its relationship with action, affects therefore the creation of thoughts. [...]

[...] I for one haven’t had any such feelings, since from the very beginning of our relationship I’ve always felt certain that in Jane I’d found the ideal mate—an achievement I’ve considered most fortunate, one I’d hardly dared dream I’d manage to do. [...] I want to see her able to manipulate like other people, of course, and to have her achievements also; that things haven’t worked out that way so far can’t but help have a profound effect upon my feelings, hers, and our relationship, which I’ve always taken absolutely as being as solid and enduring as the elements.)

[...] My own fears left me seeing visions of a drastically changed relationship between us, and a different life-style, one probably considerably less private if she needed nursing care, say, “What are you trying to do to me?” I demanded, and so forth. [...]

[...] He felt that many of his own characteristics were considered disadvantageous in a man-woman relationship. [...]

[...] New body relationships are taking place, and that activity gives him a sense of disorientation as muscles, released, practice their flexibility, and learn to synchronize it.

[...] To some extent then he felt even the safety of your relationship threatened when you became irritated, say, with Prentice. He became frightened in particular when he feared that his relationship with Prentice might make you ill.

[...] It’s true that my patience has been sorely tested of late, and, as I told her, I feel that I’ve done a lot during our relationship to help her and go along with her ideas. [...]

No doubt here of jumbled relationships as far as the personality is concerned. [...]

It will be found in some important respects that the dream universe, which began even then, has somewhat the same relationships to the physical universe, but on a psychic level, that the physical universe has to the universe of negative matter. [...]

[...] You do not see here a sort of partnership that applies to your relationship in general, the reason also for his technical inability in painting, and his technical ability in writing.

[...] Seth deals with this fact to some extent as far as his relationship to Jane is concerned. [...]

[...] Now the relationship that did not take place in this reality took place in another and in that reality the two of you are connected and this accounts for the feelings that you have had toward our friend here (Sue). [...]

Now this is our first example in class of a relationship existing in a probable system so take note of it. [...]

[...] I am saying that you have a good working relationship that will change and be flexible in time. [...]

([Joel:] “Does it look like a good relationship to that extent?”)

[...] Left to themselves they know their own joy and are aware of such intimate relationships.

Before marriage, in the context of your relationship, however, this did not apply. [...]

Before your marriage, you and he, _______, stood against the world in a relationship that you considered intimate and isolated, one of its kind. [...]

[...] The children were born because others would by implication share in the knowledge of relationship involved. [...]

[...] Seth’s information on the Foster Avenue place, and our present and potential relationships with it, was very illuminating. [...] Some of those present and potential relationships, incidentally, actually stem from our childhood days.

[...] One Sumari may have many deeply rewarding personal relationships. [...]

[...] Again, the relationship with others is good, generally speaking. [...]

[...] There are habitual patterns of behavior that operate, as you more or less stabilize your picture of yourself in relationship with families and friends. [...]

Many illnesses are physically experienced facades that are meant to alter the person’s relationship with the world. [...]

[...] To do so he must change his own reality, alter his feeling of relationship with himself, and between himself and others. [...]

[...] As solid as it seems to you, there are constant chemical reactions between it and the world, electromagnetic adjustments, alterations of balance, changes of relationships—alterations that occur between the body and its relationship with every other physical event, from the position of the planets and moon and the sun, to the position of the smallest grain of sand, to the tiniest microbe in anyone’s intestine (intently).

[...] The same relationships, however, do not only exist between human bodies, of course, but between man and the animals and the plants in the environment, and is part of the unending biological communication that overall produces the vitality of physical experience.

[...] In such a way one tree in a forest knows of the entire environment and its relationship in it. [...]

[...] The idealized earth version is not meant to mean a perfect self in flesh at all; instead, it represents a psychic reality in which your own abilities fulfill themselves in relationship with your earthly environment to the fullest extent possible, within the time and place you have already chosen.

[...] The earth-god concept can be consciously used, but only to your greatest advantage if you understand the purposes of your conscious mind and its relationship with your biological nature.

[...] That is, the private person is here seen as interacting with others because there is, beneath our awareness, an inner “person-to-person” relationship connecting each individual with his or her physical counterparts, though they may well be living in other parts of the globe while sharing the same historical period. It follows, then, that one may or may not ever meet a counterpart “in the flesh” — may or may not even suspect the existence of such relationships.

(“Well,” I said to Jane after class, as we discussed the Chinese-American situation cited by Seth, “I don’t know about counterpart relationships in other kinds of realities, but it’s certainly obvious that at least some physical counterparts can hate each other …” So the larger self, I thought, would be quite capable of seeking experience through its parts in every way imaginable. [...]

[...] The nations of the world would benefit greatly from even a small improvement in their relationships with each other. [...]

[...] It took me a while to recognize that this had simply been my way of groping toward the realization that Seth, Jane, and I did have a strong psychic relationship. [...]

[...] You have changed the relationships existing within the immediate physical environment, and you perceive the change physically.

[...] In psychic terms also there is something that can be loosely explained in terms of spatial relationships, but having to do with intensities. [...]

[...] By all means continue your sexual relationship. [...]
