“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Do then remind him gently that he should not become impatient, while realizing that that is natural enough in its way. Held in bounds it helps, but it should not be allowed to gain sway.

[...] You use that area to give you, in your own fashion, a feeling of security: there you are relating in old ways, not only getting your checkups as you should, but seeing the dentist as more than that. [...]

[...] Yet overall I hadn’t been able to break the tooth-worry habit, while knowing I should.

Ruburt by now should be able to see a certain “sequence,” as previously hardened muscles begin to loosen. [...]

[...] He should be able to become aware of other such inward events.

[...] Ruburt should look over his dream material again, to find further correlations between it and the stages of his recovery, further correlations between the inward and outward sequence of events.

He should now be able to perceive the Sumari physicians, and to become more aware of inward dynamics that ordinarily escape notice. [...]

[...] The concentration should not be, again then, on the problems. It should not be on any accusations, but on the recognition of the communication itself, and to those specific issues mentioned. These should be given direct consideration. [...]

(Long pause.) The more stimuli, thoughts, desires and material of a diverse nature brought into the system—within reason—the greater the amount of material the inner self has to work with and put together in its own creative fashions—but do remember those sessions given that remind Ruburt that his body can indeed recover, that he can indeed trust his body’s processes, and that he should not compare his life with anyone else’s, but trust in the entire fabric of his existence, and you indeed should trust the entire fabric of your own. [...]

[...] Then, as much as possible (underlined), the situation should be dropped for a period, concentration purposely directed as much as possible elsewhere. [...]

[...] They are also held together by a sense of earnestness and duty (with a mock-severe frown)—quite misapplied, but still characteristics hardly foreign to the personality as a whole—so these are misunderstandings to be addressed and understood, and the main issue should be an understanding of those issues specifically mentioned, so that the issues are met in the open and aired on the part of the entire personality (all often with emphasis). [...]

[...] You should be able to go with him, and from his vantage point observe your own reality and situation, to see you and Ruburt and your lives for yourself from this different vantage point. You should find it exciting and most instructive.

You should see him visually either entirely objectified, or in an unusually vivid inner image. But more than this there should be an inner word communication between you that will actually be of telepathic origin. [...]

[...] He should be able to take you there in a projection, and from that point you should be able to look down into your own system, and in a series of flashes to see your life and Ruburt’s with greater clarity. [...]

[...] You should be able to see him rather clearly. [...]

[...] I should note here that Marian and Helen left us at 8:55, and that Helen lives just a block from us.)

[...] I do not intend, particularly, that this information should be passed on at all. [...]

[...] It should however be noted here that contact of this type, personal contact, does help. [...]

[...] On the other hand again, such experience is necessary and quite valid, and should be accepted certainly as a part of our work.

[...] But all information given tonight should be helpful too and if you follow the advice given, you should become aware of a sense of sexual freedom and joy that is novel.

[...] You have glorified what orgasm is—the unattainable, and therefore, the symbol of all the other qualities you want to achieve or think you should achieve, but do not have. [...]

[...] However, I suggest that you simply realize that your body is an important part of you that you have allowed to go begging—that its response can be perfectly adequate that you must release it from your own preconceptions—particularly from your idea of what an orgasm should be...that you allow yourself to feel freely.

Be aware of what your body feels without questioning—without wondering whether or not your body should feel more—allow yourself to feel your husband’s caresses in the same way a flower might feel the sun.

It should be noted however, that with the exception of several other circumstances the various levels of the subconscious can be found to fall within definite temperature ranges. [...] However, suggestion as to the effect that the subject’s temperature should rise or fall would tend to obscure the effect.

[...] Of course these matters should be handled as simply as possible.

[...] There are obviouslyconnections between the psychic and physical self, and there is no reason why you should not begin to investigate these for yourselves.

The physical circumstances which you may discover should never be interpreted as conditions in themselves, under which we operate with varying degrees of efficiency, again, but merely as interconnecting correlations between two sets of intangibles. [...]

[...] Later you believed that artists should be artists. The concentration in painting should be so intense—should be—that there would be no thought of any other occupation. [...]

[...] He believed (underlined) that he should devote all of his time to his work, and could hardly forgive himself for his regrettable lapses into writing—and he was writing, after all, not even for adults, and not for young males either.

[...] His creativity showed itself, however, when he allowed himself to play, when he forgot what he thought he should do, and did what he wanted to do. [...]

Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, for example, would have gone out of their minds, acting as it seems people sometimes believe that an artist should act. [...]

[...] The chests in the bathroom should be painted. [...] The chests should be covered as soon as possible to break up associations. Ruburt should change the arrangement of his clothes in those chests. The shoes should be kept in another place than the accustomed one.

[...] There are many matters to discuss here, you see, and reasons for your own behavior, which should be understood.

[...] It should not be used again. [...]

[...] If no major rearrangement is possible, minor changes should be made.

[...] If you decide to devote this time, energy and concentration to these endeavors consistently, then you should indeed meet with success. [...] This is a rather a weighty endeavor, therefore you should indeed realize what it requires of you. [...]

[...] But this is not a matter that you should go halfheartedly into. It should be studied with determination and dedication. [...]

My friend Ruburt has told you that you must read everything that you can, and so you should. [...]

[...] I want you to realize first of all that such endeavors involve steady application over a period of years, for you should decide whether or not you are willing to devote such energy. [...]

[...] He should finish my book, then begin it again, this time following the exercises as he needs them. [...] Beer in any quantity should now be avoided. [...]

These feelings will also be accompanied by sensations of warmth however, and so should be accepted and recognized as new signs of mobility and action. [...]

[...] The squatting he performed (last Friday night) should be repeated once daily at least, for it reinforces the idea of letting go with the body.

Badminton or pounding the pillow should definitely be started this week. [...]

[...] The quality of such material should show Ruburt by contrast the extent of his abilities, and he should not concern himself with any such matters, as far as worrying about them is concerned. [...]

The sore periods—and Ruburt should remember this, again—are of less intensity and duration. [...]

[...] When he feels that he is generally in such a mood for a day or so, he should definitely tell you about it. [...]

[...] I realize, again, that that is asking a bit much of you—yet if you continue even as you are there can and should be some very definite and tangible “proof.”

[...] Ruburt therefore should not attempt to disentangle the material from my personal characteristics. [...] But he should not present my ideas as if they come from thin air, for this is to rob the material.

To some extent this should be done for those people. [...]

[...] It should be obvious in the book that the material is not disembodied but sifted through the personality that is mine. [...]

[...] As any good writer should know, tell Ruburt he need not explain my characteristics; simply include excerpts that show them.

He should begin to write. He should not read and reread endlessly notes that he has made, for as he begins to work he will find himself writing.

I had one note: his jumpy-roping is good for him, and he should continue. He should seek motion. [...]

[...] The personality appeared briefly as it should be. [...]

This session should throw considerable light upon them. [...]

[...] More extensive changes, a change in working hours, for example, might frighten the ego and should be avoided.

[...] Spontaneity should be encouraged whenever possible in your daily activities, while still the overall stable conditions are maintained. [...]

[...] A session dealing with upsetting material should lead or be directed toward some immediate release. [...]

[...] Therapeutic dreams should be requested each night for now, as standard practice. [...]

[...] It should be followed through for it will open him to new developments. [...]

[...] He should then often give himself the following suggestion: “I will only react to constructive suggestions.” [...]

[...] When you find yourself facing such negative images in your mind and projecting them into the future, you should at once mentally wipe out that image and replace it with a constructive image, seeing yourself, for example, sitting in command of a well-ordered room.

[...] If you think that tomorrow Johnny F will misbehave in study hall, you should, in your mind, replace this with the image of Johnny F behaving very well. [...]

[...] I asked her now to dictate to me exactly what she wanted me to record: “Now he’s telling us that to take conscious control of your beliefs and life and everything does involve a new manipulation of consciousness, where I’d been knocking my guts out thinking it should be something you can do real easy. [...]

[...] In a way, Jack found it inconceivable that he should die. [...]

[...] You should both read tonight’s session, book dictation, with Ruburt’s situation in mind. [...]

[...] There should not be a concentration upon the problem—as a problem.

As one of you mentioned earlier the windows should be thrown open and the rooms thoroughly aired. [...]

[...] Ruburt should brush his animals; all of this for its symbolic meaning, but symbolism reinforced on the sense data level.

[...] That is one of the reasons that he seeks what you call offbeat positions, but he has made progress in this line, and should continue to do so. [...]

Now all of this should be taken with other material that I have given you, for all these reasons clicked together at the time. [...]

(Jane was afraid of others as a young girl, and even in college — that she wouldn’t get their approval — whereas, I said, the others should have been afraid that they wouldn’t get her approval, since her abilities transcended theirs. So why should she sink to the common denominator? [...]

(Long pause.) Ruburt felt that his writing, and writing abilities, justified his existence — that it, the ability to write should make up for all other deficiencies. [...]

[...] I said it’s easy to judge the past, whereas one should instead simply try to learn from it and understand it, and go on from there. [...]

(Even those at the writer’s conference in the summer of 1957, at Milford, Pennsylvania, told her she’d outgrow her urge to write — that she should have a baby. [...]

[...] To do all the things that he should do, to put in the writing hours that he should, inspired writing hours, then he must automatically be in good health, you see. [...]

[...] Our work should also show you how to enjoy your life. [...]

There is no reason now why your main problems should not dissipate. [...]

[...] You should frame it and put it on the wall.
