“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It was getting late in the afternoon and I told her she should turn over on her side soon, to get off her back for an hour before supper. [...]

The hows and wherefores cannot be handled by the conscious mind, however, but should be taken care of by the creative intelligence within his subconscious mind. [...]

Each improvement should be definitely noticed, and as each improvement shows itself, so again the doors to future beneficial probabilities are opened. [...]

(In regard to Seth’s remark, above, that our creative energies would be enhanced with the onset of these latest sessions, here’s the earlier reference he referred to, in the very first session for October 9, 1983: “Your joint creative abilities should also be more aroused because of this session, so that you will have more intuitive breakthroughs on your own, and jointly, that will benefit you both in many ways.” [...]

[...] Feelings of hopelessness should also be verbalized. [...] Improvements should be noted however. You should discuss plans in Ruburt’s terms with each other.

[...] Often it seems to you that you have learned little, that your mental, psychic, spiritual and physical situation should be far better.

Now he adjusted very well to these, but an inner portion of his self, you see, is thoroughly outraged, considering all parents enemies from whom one should and must legitimately run. [...]

[...] He gave little expression to his feelings toward your mother, in a mad rush to get to the respectable and responsible attitude he thought he should have.

Some of that understanding should flower this week, so that he grabs more fully a hold of that creative stimulus that can greatly accelerate his improvements. [...] He made the necessary distinctions in that paper, and he should use it as a basis for whatever work he decides to do with suggestion, whether it is alone or with you.

If Maltz is followed, and our last two sessions, a deeper state of relaxation should be possible regardless, this coming from inner peace. We should like to work it from both angles, however. [...]

Ruburt should read more in his Maltz book, definitely, and concentrate on achieving relaxation, not only in periods set aside, but in his normal daily hours at work or whatever.

[...] Maltz’s telephone episode should be imagined by him in place of all unpleasant stimulus. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The exercises you see should have a joyful, gamelike atmosphere, or a nonchalance. [...]

[...] You do not need to worry or deride yourselves for stupidity if it appears (very long pause, eyes closed, at 9:04), looking over the long annals of work that we have done together, that it should have been obvious that our ideas were leading in certain directions—for not only have I been trying to divest you of official ideas, but to prepare you for the acceptance of a new version of reality: A version that could be described in many fashions. [...]

[...] Theoretically at least, the magical approach should be used because it represents the most harmonious method of life (underlined). [...]

To some extent tonight’s relatively brief session should remove senses of urgency on your parts, or of self-criticism, that make you question when or how can you “learn to make” the magical approach work in any specific way—that is, why can you not learn to make the approach work in, say, helping Ruburt’s condition in a faster, more effective fashion? [...]

(9:24.) You should understand that the approach is the best one to use in life, generally speaking, but it will improve all conditions, even if you still have difficulties in certain areas (pause), and that its use cannot help but promote the overall quality of your lives. [...]

[...] The idea should be communicated when you are not emotionally upset, and you should not adopt the tone of a parent speaking to a child.

[...] There is considerable strength to it, and he should recognize this. [...]

[...] Obviously there are reasons for her behavior, and changes also that she can and should make, but I am speaking to you and not to her.

[...] I have said this many times and doubtlessly I will continue to say—when Ruburt’s familiar body is some 40 years older and my voice in comparison to Ruburt’s sounds like quite a young man (shouts)—That my energy should remind you of the energy that is inherent within yourself and that any energy that sweeps through this small frame comes from the same energy that gives you your vitality and strength and that should bring you joy and fulfillment. [...]

[...] I should be quiet and let you do so. [...]

You said earlier that everyone is looking to find themselves, and as our regular students should know, there is only one place to look, and you begin with yourself. [...]

[...] And so if you change your physical form without knowing it as the years go by, why should it surprise you that at one time you leave the present form that you call your own for another. [...]

[...] You should have a clear picture, taking some definite time out for friends, and it should be clearly understood that in your working hours you expect to be alone.

[...] I cannot express my sorrow that I put you to so many chores that I should be able to help you with.” [...] That should sound familiar.

This should be an illuminating session. [...]

[...] You should have received enough evidence, and fine evidence thus far, to show you that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with Ruburt’s eyes, per se. [...]

Those statements should not go underground, again, but he should sympathetically address his doubts and the various points of their contentions can then be quite adequately settled—or at least resolved, reconciled. [...]

[...] His experiments for now should be limited to a fifteen-minute daily period, and they should be held in the evening or afternoon.

[...] He should keep a close watch upon his smoking now, and immediately after his birthday he should break the habit completely. [...]

Joseph should be in the house. [...]

[...] You should always address yourself to the natural person, and when Ruburt becomes confused about images, it is because he is relating himself to other composite versions that he thinks he should live up to. [...]

(I should add here that as Seth gave this material I found myself thinking that that wasn’t too bad a way to go, after all. [...]

(Pause at 9:35.) Such ideas, then, prevent you from enjoying your own accomplishments, as you should more properly do, and from enjoying their growth through time, from the background that was your own. [...]

[...] You are changing their lives, or allowing them to do so, of course, helping them release their own abilities—accomplishments that should be considered in line, again, with your own backgrounds, and not compared with hypothetical ones. [...]

There should never be a word in any language that means repentance. There should only be a word that means, “I bless,” for when you bless you do not need to repent. [...]

(Jane pointed out to Sally that she was playing it too safe, that she should take some risks. She should explore more, she continued, and that there was nothing to be frightened of. [...]

[...] You should have known that you could not escape my ceremony—and my ceremony is a ceremony of the skies and trees—and even of the grass. [...]

[...] If anything, the personal advice I have given you both should add to your mental and emotional balance, and should result in a stronger relationship with the outside world.

The bookcases should stay as they are, my dear Ruburt. [...] You should feel much better. [...]

A bedroom should also be a permanent fixture, as should a working room for Joseph.

Our relationship should enable you both to deal more adequately with the outside world. [...]

[...] Each day should be considered a new day. Ruburt should not think for example: “I have had these symptoms for such and such a time.” [...] The day should be considered as a psychic rebirth.

[...] If, for example, a letter comes to you bearing good news, and you react to the letter with high spirits, then you should understand that the high spirits existed first, and created the materialization of the letter within the physical systems, through the multilayered and complicated reactions that bind together the physical system.

[...] The badminton again, however, should be established, and the squatting exercises. When there is a lengthy relaxation period he will know instinctively when to let the badminton go, for instance, but it should be established as a practice. [...]

The session, the late one, dealing with “work” attitudes, should be read at least twice a week now. [...]

[...] But freedom should not be thought of as an absolute, but as a process of fulfillment that will take place naturally because he wants it to, and believes that it will. [...]

Yes, but the conscious mind should know what the unconscious is doing. [...]

[...] The sum of all should be excellent consciousness. [...]

(“What publisher should Jane send Enemies to next?”)

You should. [...]

This latest adventure should bring all of this out in the open, while also training Ruburt to concentrate upon pleasant rather than unpleasant stimuli. [...]

Whatever demands he makes upon himself should be uncomplicated and simple enough so that he has a good chance of following through on them—hence a feeling of accomplishment.

[...] He also should be encouraged to feel his energy, and rouse it. [...]

(Several times during the last week I’d mentioned to Jane that we should get more information from Seth on her eyes—insisting upon more specific reasons why they were so protuberant. [...] Why should another part suffer? [...]

[...] I understand your concern, and perhaps I should not comment, but if some of my suggestions had been followed, you would have had quicker results with the eyes. [...]

It is Ruburt of course whose moods are more noticeable, but he still should feel free to discuss his fears with you when he is in a poor mood. [...]

Your statements (of suggestion re Frameworks 1 and 2) are excellent, and should be read over.

([Janice:] “Should we just forget the whole thing or should we search further?”)

[...] You should not be dependent upon the board for your answer. You should allow the answer to spontaneously come from within, otherwise the board becomes a symbol in this particular case now alone, so that you demand the answer of it and that is not how to go about it. [...]

[...] There should also be communications in one way or another in the dream state. [...]

[...] You should meet other Sumari in the dream state, and if you are on your toes you can discover some of the work that you do while you are sleeping and the Sumari that you meet. [...]

But also that you should not attempt self-sacrifice. It should not be expected of you. You should not accept it. [...]

[...] I am addressing this to our friend over here (Arnold) and partially to our friend over here because you should understand what I am speaking of. [...]

I have told you often that I use the means available to me for teaching purposes, and many of you wondering when I use the voice with force, why I do so, should by now recognize the fact that the energy generated is spent by you in many ways, and that if atoms and molecules could jump up and sing in a great congregation then they would, indeed, make such a noise in such a fashion in their own way and to remind you not to be so sober and not to hold your problems as gates holding back the universe. [...]

[...] And when you go home you should be able to feel your own vitality free for once without so many ideas about when it can be used and when it shall not be used and without putting up so many barriers. [...]
