“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He must project that same sense of freedom and understanding into the physical situation, and fly as freely in the face of that situation. [...]

[...] Is want you, together, to do the suggestions again; but more, to assert individually and jointly, against what seems to be the physical evidence of Ruburt’s senses.

[...] I want him to concentrate, now, upon those beliefs that are working for him, to quite consciously build up the sense of his own worth by listing the uses to which he has put his abilities. [...]

[...] Seemed no effort at all to walk, completely effortless, as if there was no resistance at all to overcome; no sense of muscular motion for example. Fabulous sense of well-being; of floating along the street. [...]

[...] That is, while Ruburt drinks socially to some quite limited extent really, the fine balance of dissociation that allows our sessions to begin would not be possible, if for example our Ruburt drank more some evening than good sense would ordinarily permit.

[...] A few minutes later, this is most difficult to describe, I felt a quick definite and physical whoosh outward as if I was suddenly shooting or rushing out through my head, longwise—strong frightening sense of motion and being completely carried away. [...]

[...] Sense of expanded radius inside closed eyelids. [...]

[...] Ruburt senses some of these. [...]

[...] But a sense of spontaneity is most important, and indeed a momentary lapse of critical attention. [...]

[...] Ruburt displayed good sense Sunday evening, in following your advice not to try to continue, but stopping where you did. [...]

[...] Twice during the seance Lee obtained effects or results which seem to fit in with Seth’s description of some of the inner senses and their use. [...]

In a sense any color or quality of that nature could be considered a mental enzyme. [...]

[...] There is distortion present, but still I put down something that my obvious senses can perceive. [...]

(The ink sketch I did more than a year ago represents man bound by his senses, yet peering out through the wires trying to see more.

[...] The supraself can be sensed at times, almost as you might sense another presence. [...]

[...] Only by the use of the inner senses can you obtain a viewpoint that is to some extent free of your own system. [...]

The inner senses allow you to follow some of these actions into other realities. [...]

[...] You deny yourself their help and aid because you do not recognize your own abilities as such in the true sense of the word.

(9:27.) When you feel that way, you deepen a sense of isolation, while at the same time robbing yourselves of the true pleasures of accomplishment and creativity that a light isolation provides. [...]

Conflicting beliefs about the nature of reality can bring about dilemmas in almost any form, for the individual will always try to make sense out of his or her surroundings, and try to at least see the world as a cohesive whole.

[...] Their problem will seem so gigantic that only some interference from an outside source will be sufficient to give the individual a sense of wholeness and sanity. [...]

[...] Yet you do not deny the existence of a psychological experience, though you cannot rip it apart from yourself and examine it with the physical senses. [...] So also are there other realities that cannot be examined through the use of the physical senses, realities so close to the self that they cannot be separated from it and objectified.

[...] Now, even in his scientific studies he discovers that his senses have often misled him, his precious solid objects for example found to be solid only to his senses, an appearance given by the limitations of his sensual perceptions.

It is not that the senses are not to be trusted, merely that they are trustworthy only within the framework of certain definite limitations.

[...] You are all in trances, however, for you believe in this improbable physical existence and therefore I must couch all my language so that it makes sense to you, who believe in this fantasy in which you now live. [...]

[...] Simply on a physical level the animals have sometimes more sense than you do. [...]

[...] However, you will use war as an instrument, [a] way of solving your population problem, if you will not have sense to control it otherwise. [...]

I like your sense of humor!! [...]

[...] Not because it is mine but because truth can be sensed within it. [...]

[...] His students perfectly sensed his attitudes, and while he led them with his right hand, he cautioned them to hold back with the other. [...]

[...] Now in this state I am indeed very close, although it will be more difficult for you to sense my presence.

When this method is thoroughly learned and Ruburt allows me greater control, then you shall notice a greater sense of immediacy and vitality. [...]

[...] As we waited Jane said several times that she felt “a sense of reassurance” from Seth, that he was organizing some kind of material or program for her because of her physical situation. [...]

[...] You sense the overall shape of the book, often clearly, but because of the workings of functional consciousness, when you must focus upon a particular passage, that focus necessarily precludes the overall vision at the same time.

[...] He is barely, again, beginning to sense that feeling of freedom, and the body is always ready to respond. [...]

Morning makes sense
To any animal,
And each one feels
Death’s decimal.

This next is not as good a poem, aesthetically, as the others, but it was written to Rob and clearly shows the growing sense of panic with which I viewed the passing years. [...]

[...] This automatically presents the material in order, preserving the sense of continuity, and serves as a progressive, subjective journal of dream experiences as Rob and I, and later my students, followed Seth’s suggestions. [...]

[...] Because your sense experience follows a time pattern that you can understand, then you take it for granted that a cell, for example, is the result of its past, and that its present condition arises from the past.⁴ The fetus grows into an adult, not because it is programmed from the past, but because it is to some extent precognitively aware of its probabilities, and from the “future” then imprints this information into the past structure.

[...] From your platform of poised now-experience, you alter both the past and the future, and that alteration, that change, that action, causes your point of immediate sense life.⁵

[...] The senses may be utilized to clarify the message. [...]

[...] A sense of purpose steadily applied, the continuity of feeling and work, the steady application over a period of years, these are not the marks of an extremist.

When the psychic development began, Ruburt was triumphant, for his abilities were flowering, and intuitively he sensed that direction, but the part of him that also dealt with the world was somewhat appalled, for again, such behavior was not conventional, and it was not particularly “the way to make friends and influence people.”

[...] Ruburt is definitely building up a good and dependable sense of trust with the body, and under conditions that were admittedly not of the best. [...]

[...] To the world of the intellect, a glass door must be considered solid, as it is in the world of physical senses. [...]

[...] The intellect does try to order experience, to make sense out of perception. [...]

It understands, for example, that clairvoyant material is a part of the personality’s overall characteristics, so it is not afraid of perceiving it — and it is able to separate such information confusion from present physical sense perception. [...]

[...] The trouble is that the rational view of life has separated man from a sense of his own power source. [...]
