“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I thought the remarks would bring forth some response from Seth, but since a shorter session had been announced I didn’t think such a lengthy response would materialize.

[...] For seeing that he creates his own reality now, he will understand that he also helped form the environment in which he grew, and that his mother was not entirely responsible.

[...] Ruburt need not bear the weight of the world upon his shoulders (humorously throughout), nor take the responsibility of the universe. [...]

On the one hand, our work and yours is largely devoted to poking holes into the official one-line consciousness, and on the other you find yourself financially responsible to contribute to its policies.

Your joint ideas of the ideal, its expression, and feared closure, was in the past also largely responsible for your joint embarrassment over Ruburt’s physical condition, your joint shame over his appearance.

There are those who make a practice of seeking aid from others, however, using this as a means of avoiding responsibility. [...]

[...] The conscious knowledge alone will trigger intuitional responses within the inner self so that you will receive helpful information through dreams, impulses, and ordinary thought patterns.

Now: An open fire elicits certain responses from the cells⁴ that, for instance, a furnace does not. [...]

4. Seth’s material here reminded me of a remark he made in the 504th session, which is presented in the Appendix of The Seth Material; he was discussing the perceptions of the fetus as mediated by electromagnetic energy (EE) units: “Cells are not just responsive to light because this is the order of things, but because an emotional desire to perceive light is present.”

(There was no response from Seth to this. [...]

(Humorously.) I am overjoyed to be the self that you know (smile), and I do indeed take pleasure in that existence, and in meeting its responsibilities. [...]

This to some slight degree was responsible for added symptoms. [...]

[...] You are approaching some excellent periods in your lives, periods that would not have been possible had Ruburt not fully accepted, as he now has, the emergence of his abilities and his responsibility to develop them.

Now with the various people at Prentice, you will have such tendencies often appearing separately, so that one person will be highly conventional and dislike changes, while another might be responsive to work that was emotionally exciting, avant garde. [...]

[...] It never happened: For all of our worries, those in charge at Prentice-Hall did not decide to use disclaimers of responsibility in any of Jane’s other books.

[...] If I do, then I’ll start worrying about my responsibility again and forget what Seth says about having the sessions because they’re fun. [...]

It’s impossible, of course, for us not to have a sense of responsibility about the sessions. [...]

[...] The unsounded intervals would also be events, of course, cues for action, triggers for response.

The session was also partially in response to some questions that Ruburt had in mind. [...]

[...] They are built up in response to emotional intensity. [...]

[...] Cells are not just responsive to light because this is the order of things, but because an emotional desire to perceive light is present.

[...] You may hold God or the devil responsible, or you may simply say, “That is life,” and accept the negative experience as a necessary portion of your lot.

[...] Only when it refuses responsibility does it finally find itself at the seeming mercy of events over which it appears to have no control.

[...] He also discussed such divergent topics as the wide variety of responses that his material generates in correspondents — and not all of those reactions are so favorable, I might add.

(Seth’s reference to her material on plants concerned some short humorous essays she’d started writing for her own amusement a couple of days ago, in response to some new ideas. [...]

In Ruburt’s particular case, tense states of mind have been primarily responsible for his physical difficulty. [...]

[...] As unfortunate as a drought might seem, it is in its way responsible for the balanced proportion of moisture of the entire planet’s surface. [...]

[...] These sensed changes of course are responsible for the fact that he felt like trying the stairs to begin with.

[...] Much of the response to her work that Jane receives by mail and telephone indicates this is happening. (That response, incidentally, will be discussed briefly at the end of these notes, when Seth’s letter to correspondents is presented.)

[...] (We prepared such a list in answer to many requests, and it’s being continually updated, of course.) Yet the form letters aren’t really a satisfactory answer for the correspondent who’d like a personal response from Jane and/or Seth; given our characteristics, they merely represent the best we can do within the time we have available. [...]

[...] Many people liked that letter (they still do) — and some wrote back in response to it! Because of this, Jane and I suggest that Seth’s earlier letter be read in conjunction with the one below, for as Jane says, the two complement and reinforce each other. [...]

All mail does not come from the postman, so each of you should have your own kind of inner response from me whatever letter you have sent by mail. [...]

[...] You both have the responsibility to use all of your abilities, and this is perhaps the one thing that is required of you.

[...] You are both becoming therefore more responsible as a result of your successes.

A very bland response. It will not be ignored, but the response will be so bland that it will seem your communication was not understood.

[...] You can, and you have, helped him by reminding him that this is safe, that the body’s protection and his own lies precisely in the body’s agility and quick response.

[...] This state, added to his physical condition, is responsible for his feelings. [...]
