“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“Using that language, however, Seth’s intent is also clear: Individual identity comes before sexual affiliation. [...] Male and female also represent psychic and biological faces and a sexual stance. Through all of Seth’s books runs one common thread: Our sexual prejudice is the result of certain aspects of consciousness that we as a species long ago began stressing over others.”

[...] This prejudice appears most obviously in its sexual aspects: ‘Mankind’ for the species in general, and ‘he’ in referring to the individual member. [...]

[...] I felt deep affection for Jean, a strange and surprising longing mixed with a strong sexual awareness of her attractiveness. [...]

Jean Longwell then represented Frank’s feelings toward his daughter, and in a fashion you felt those as your own — a mixture of paternal love, sexuality, and sympathy. [...]

[...] Frank had been involved in one of those, too, in the dream state, and Seth had explained how I’d picked up his concerns about age and sexuality and worth, and so forth. [...]

[...] Your tempting him to eat, for example, and underline tempting, has strong sexual connotations to which he will respond, both sexually and through eating more.

[...] The sexual connotations are obvious, and added on. [...]

[...] The word tempt is important, for it implies on you part a willingness to have him taste and share with you both through food and sexual enjoyment. [...]

It is all there is black and white, including suggestions in the sexual area, why it would be advantageous, the various emotional points of resistance that would appear during such encounters, and their significance, and much more.

He felt that for all your talk you wanted him to discipline spontaneity in a way basically impossible for him, that to release it in physical terms would mean two dangers: You would find him unbearable; and his sexuality released, would then demand fulfillment. [...]

There are definite points—and check the old sessions—where emotional resistances will be reached and he will want to cry during the sexual encounter. [...]

[...] The closest you can come to the idea, and the feeling of true love is the sexual one and so you often interpret what you receive in sexual terms. [...]

Now our friend, Ruburt, is not about to go for all this sexual hanky-panky that is described in this precious book, but the man who wrote the book picked up his information from the inner self and then he made a story about it. [...]

([Gert:] “Then we have distorted the word love as being something simply sexual?”)

([Gert:] “If, in psy-time, you get a sexual stimulation, is that connected to psychic power?”)

(4:28.) The sexual aspects of the earlier episode indeed represented the toning-up of the sexual capacities and their pleasurable aspects. [...]

(Then she found herself in a tub of warm water, and she was filled with sexual sensual feelings, especially in the vaginal area. [...]

[...] Now it is true that withheld sexual energy can be diverted to creative aims, but in your cases it was the feeling of daily emotional nourishment that was sometimes lacking.

At the risk of repeating myself, your in quotes “role” to one extent was restrictive in the sexual and emotional area; you were the one who drew the line. [...]

You were therefore expected by him to keep the sessions from getting out of hand, to help in quotes “police” his spontaneous self here, as you did in the sexual area and in your personal relationship. [...]

[...] When you urged him onward then he felt that he might be on dangerous ground, for you had been counted upon in the personal area to stop spontaneity, emotionally and sexually.

Sexual behavior obviously will be considered depraved by those most afraid of their own sensual natures. [...] They will then project the greatest sexual license upon those groups they choose to represent their own repressed behavior. [...]

If the members of such a rigid group believe that youth is innocent, then they will deny sexual experience as having any place in childhood, and alter their own memories to fit their beliefs.

If a young adult believes that sex is good but old age is bad, then he or she will find it impossible to consider exuberant sexuality as a portion of an older person’s experience. [...]

[...] I spoke rather thoroughly in my last book (The Nature of the Psyche) about the sexuality of your species, but here I want to mention how some of those sexual beliefs affect your behavior.

(With amusement:) The male scientist considers the rocket his private symbol of sexual power. [...]

[...] Periods of heightened sexual activity of a strong and deep nature will help. However, periods of no sexual activity will also help. [...] On the other hand, and in the latter case, it is built up because psychic and sexual release has not been granted. [...]

[...] Periods of very little, unusually sparse, mental and psychic periods are often apt to result in projections—also however for the same reasons given concerning sexual activity.

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

[...] The father was also, with money now, sexually promiscuous, according to those beliefs.

To use his abilities freely and fully might therefore mean success, money, and sexual license. [...]

These conditions also occur in some varieties of religious cults, whether or not strict sexual segregation is enforced. [...]

[...] It is often considered scandalous to even imagine sexual activity after the age of even 40 or 50.

[...] Your sexual lives, despite what you may jointly think, did not suffer on the level in which both of you were working at one time. You were each agreeable to pouring sexual energy into your work.

[...] He does believe in communicating love verbally and through touch, whether or not sexual feelings specifically are involved.

[...] You did not know what to do with them, or whether or not they should lead to a sexual encounter. [...]

[...] Many people spend hours, now and then, caressing each other’s bodies, massaging each other, or simply relaxing in such a way, whether or not a sexual encounter occurs or is expected.

A good deal for the leg contraction has to do with inhibited sexual impulse. There will be some resistance on his part (touching leg) as you resume a normal sexual pattern, simply because of the pent-up frightened energy.

The sessions having to do with your sexual life are important, vitally so.

He also felt sexually that what you wanted least was true spontaneity, for that could lead him to forget himself enough to forget proper birth control methods. [...]

[...] Did Ruburt feel like making love during your working hours in earlier years, you actively discouraged him, and told him through actions and words that displays of innocent affection turned you on sexually, and disturbed you when you wanted to paint.

[...] He yearns for any sign of your approval, and sexual recognition.

Ruburt used his body as a symbol of the entire situation, and the symptoms as a way of maintaining privacy, and lack of distraction on both of your parts—again, inhibiting sexual freedom, spontaneous outings that threatened both of your ideas. [...]

Your ideas about the letter (to correspondents) are encouraging first motions toward what I am speaking of, as are Ruburt’s ideas about class, and your sexual advances. [...]

[...] He is a sexually responsive and expressive woman. [...] It is precisely because he is that the two of you together see to it that your sexual activity is minimal—and neither of you have regretted it on deeper levels. [...]

Now if you can understand that, and those reactions in the sexual area, then you can understand how Ruburt simply carried them further than you would; the same rationale applies. [...]

[...] The sexual encounters are also most valuable, and for you both from several viewpoints.
