“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pause.) In your terms, the rhythm of some kinds of consciousness would seem exceedingly slow, so that a century might pass between one perception and the next. Other variations might seem amazingly quick — the perceptions following each other so swiftly that they would indeed escape your (underlined) perception entirely; yet in the wondrous marvels of inner nature, all of these rhythms are connected one to the others, and in a matter of speaking — excuse the pun (amused) — they each balance each other.

It is not so much the actual rhythms that are manifested that make the difference in perception, but the absence of certain other rhythms (intently), upon which perceptions ride.

Now I may or may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I have just spoken.

[...] Ruburt’s natural person is highly spontaneous, creative, imaginative, with an excellent intellect, natural habits of working with a spontaneous rhythm—a rhythm that follows its own internal, logical and intuitive order. [...]

[...] I want him, again, to try and sense the natural rhythms within him, of work and play, to continue his notes, to write for now four hours a day, with one hour for poetry, to think of the ideas of his book instead of thinking about the contracts, or of a book as a book, or as work as work; and tune into the library. [...]

Many people’s natural rhythms, then, still do incline in those directions, and they are always kept operable as alternate rhythms for the species as a whole.

(9:44 in a fast delivery.) Give us a moment… .(Long pause.) To some extent Ruburt’s dissatisfaction with laying down after dinner also means that he is learning more about his own natural rhythms, for he does feel accelerated at that time, and by the evening, as you do. [...]

The natural, magical flows of your own rhythms are more often broken up in the daytime. [...]

[...] It was agriculture that turned him more into a daytime rhythm, and for some time many beliefs lingered that resulted from earlier nighttime agricultural practices.

[...] But there are also fluctuations in normal waking consciousness, rhythms of intense activity followed by a much less active period of consciousness.

[...] These blend one into the other so that the rhythm often goes unnoticed. [...]

(10:28.) Because of your habits of an extended sleep period, followed by an extended waking period, you do not take advantage of these rhythms of consciousness. [...]

(10:33.) The suggestions given earlier in this chapter, concerning sleeping habits, will result in a natural use of these rhythms. [...]

[...] I may or may not return, according to those rhythms of which I have spoken—but in an important regard I am indeed present from the time of my first greeting in an afternoon until the time that you leave. [...]

[...] She said she was beginning to sense a rhythm to the sessions in the afternoon. [...]

[...] Then her feet began to move in rhythm—”Just like I’m on a bicycle,” she said. [...]

Now I may or may not return—again, according to those rhythms which Ruburt is now beginning to sense. [...]

These serve as points of unity, wherein all the various simultaneous selves meet; and certain seasonal rhythms are involved here in physical terms.

As your spaceships to the moon must wait for the most effective overall conditions before taking off, so in other terms are there rhythms having to do with energy. [...]

[...] These are simply rhythms depicting the greatest impact of spirit as it intersects with flesh and time.

[...] These rhythms are minutely but perfectly reflected in other ways. [...]

There are rhythms that exist, as I have mentioned before, and over a period of time, had you the time to check your records you would see that overall we have about the same number of sessions over a yearly period. [...]

[...] As for example a sea captain might use the rhythm of the waves for his journeys. [...]

[...] These rhythms can vary somewhat, and are best thought of as areas of activity. [...]

[...] For no matter which brain rhythm may predominate at any time, that state is certainly an altered one in relation to the other three. [...]

It is possible, then, for a brain to register all of the known patterns at once, though your machines would note only the predominating rhythm.

[...] In sleep the beta waves are not turned off — the “conscious” part of you, with its beta rhythms, is elsewhere.

The shifting of polarity occurs in rhythm with changing emotional intensities, or emotional energies, if you prefer. [...] There is a rhythm that underlies all of this changing polarity and changing intensities that occur constantly. But the rhythms have to do with the nature of emotional energy itself, and not with the laws of matter.

Without an understanding of these rhythms, the activity of the units would appear haphazard, chaotic, and there would seem to be nothing to hold the units together. [...]

[...] Then her head began to turn upon the column of her neck upon her shoulders as they moved in rhythm. [...]

[...] I may or may not return as I explore those rhythms of which I have spoken. [...]

[...] According to the rhythms of which I have spoken. [...]

[...] There is a rhythm that underlies all of this changing polarity and changing intensities that occur constantly. But the rhythms have to do with the nature of emotional energy itself, and not with the laws of physical matter.

Without an understanding of these rhythms the activity of the units would appear haphazard, chaotic, and there would seem to be nothing to hold the units together. [...]

[...] Then rather dramatically but beautifully I tell her that: “Poetry is your characteristic method of expression, your way of translating the data into physical reality and that even its rhythm is the rhythm of your heartbeat.” [...]

[...] But his own rhythm can now assert itself, and when he is puttering he is also psychically thinking and creating.

Now your rhythms of work may not always agree. [...]

[...] Following your inclinations, you would discover your own prime working creative rhythm.

[...] There are hidden rhythms of creativity that you do not take advantage of, and I am not speaking here to you (RFB) alone. [...]

It means trusting yourself, following your own rhythms, riding the thrust, the aggressive and joyful thrust of your creativity full blast, so to speak. [...]

(3:54.Jane lifted her left leg again, then her upper body—both moving in rhythm with each other. [...]

I may or may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I have spoken. [...]

[...] The feet moved in rhythm. [...]

For now, however, I may or may not return, according to those rhythms of which I speak. [...]

(Now from 4:21 to 4:30 Jane went through several more sequences of exercising with her head and shoulders, side to side, accompanied by grunts and groans, and with her left foot moving in a rather gentle rhythm also. [...]

[...] In other terms, the night and day represent the innate rhythms of your consciousness physically materialized through natural phenomena, for you are not yet equipped to perceive longer-duration days. Your nervous system would find great difficulty in a rhythm in which a day was stretched out to be three or four times as long, for instance.

(10:44.) The rhythms of your body and of your consciousness follow the patterns of your planet. [...]

[...] Overall weather patterns follow deeper inner rhythms of emotion.

[...] At the same time her feet began to move in a distinct rhythm with the sideways head movements. [...]

Again, I may or may not return, according to those rhythms of which I have spoken (pause). [...]

[...] Now you may take a break, and I will return or not return according to your desires, and according to those rhythms of which I have often now spoken. [...]

[...] To some extent, then, language is as dependent upon the unspoken as the spoken, and the rhythm of silence as well as of sound. [...] Language is meaningful only because of the rhythm of the silence upon which it rides.

[...] These are also connected to rhythms in the body itself.

[...] The flow of breath is obviously important, regulating the rhythm and the spacing of the words. [...]

[...] Indeed, a dance is executed of great symmetry and rhythm. [...]

[...] I may or may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I speak, et cetera, but I do indeed accelerate those coordinates that quicken Ruburt’s healing processes. [...]
