“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Your dream activities should accelerate with the change of seasons. [...] A feeling of expansiveness and discipline should be maintained, but in that order.

[...] I should emphasize however that full control is possible, and with practice will be achieved rather easily. [...]

[...] I should also note that if coffee does not prevent or inhibit sleep, it will stimulate dream projections, and also aid you in bringing the critical faculties into the dream state. [...]

[...] No projection should occur until you are ready, or when you are ready. [...]

Yes, but observor should remain silent. No one should sit in who is not of same mind yet.

They should.

[...] It should make her feel better.

[...] He believes he should be working, yet also that he should be more physically active. [...]

[...] When he is writing and also thinking that he should go for a walk then the conflicts arise more strongly. [...]

[...] And what do I think I should be doing differently?! [...]

[...] In a weekly period, for example (rather than a daily one), these suggestions if followed will show him his own rhythms and patterns, so that he may feel like going out impulsively because he wants to, after a bout of writing, rather than feel that he “should.”

You should know, and Ruburt should certainly know, that you form your own physical image in a most actual and practical manner, with all its defects, for your own reasons. [...]

The realization that he has more than made up for the initial betrayal should result, if he takes the information to heart, in a lessening of symptoms that should result, again, in their disappearance.

The impediment, beginning in this life, 1507, represented a time when he did not speak out, and he should have, for a man’s life was at stake. [...]

[...] There is somewhat more here, but our illustrious and pigheaded Ruburt has indeed implied that I should somewhat maintain silence.

([Janice:] “How deep should we go in looking for the reason?”)

If you want to know yourself and to know the reason for your actions, then you should discover why you have, in quotes, “accidents,” end of quotes. [...]

([Janice:] “We should not dismiss them then.”)

You should not indeed, lest you set up patterns in which accidents, so called, become a way of existence. [...]

[...] So this pattern should not be applied in your minds and projected.

[...] Ruburt’s personality shows in his writings and his individual interpretations; your personalities should always be considered as assets. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Ruburt should make no future hard decisions as to what he will and will not do, but give the intuitive self freedom in such cases.

[...] Otherwise he should leave himself open. [...]

The world’s evidence, the objects, sensations, and so forth, should be respected and enjoyed. It should not be forgotten, however, that such evidence gives a composite picture—not only of patterns of perception, but of habits of perception.

[...] To some extent, however, you are both still hypnotized by the evidence of Ruburt’s condition—where instead it should be used as a jumping-off board, as a gap to be filled with reality (emphatically). [...]

[...] I am not saying that you should make the nighttime hours your own official ones, but they do provide creativity with an additional ease, along with the changes in official patterns. [...]

(Seth said Jane and I should make a trip to New York this spring whether we are asked by anyone or not, meaning Jane’s publisher principally. [...] We should set up appointments to see these people, and should make the trip whether or not publicity for Jane’s ESP book, to be published this spring, is involved.

[...] Seth said that as in the case of John Bradley, Bill should become more and more aware of such experiences, now that he is more familiar with these sessions.

[...] I wanted a word from Seth on what our reactions should, or could, be, in light of yesterday’s session about living in the moment.

[...] 2. How should we react to the Bantam cover situation? [...]

Yesterday’s session should be read two or three times a week for now.

This does not mean that you should not write a clear letter stating your own reaction against the cover, if you so choose.

[...] You are still not willing to say let me develop as I should develop. You are still saying let me develop as I think I should develop. [...] You cannot use it, therefore, to attain those things that do not pertain to your own self-development and the techniques will not help you get something that you were not meant to have nor that you have before decided as an entity that you should not have. [...] There must always be the acknowledgement that you do not consciously as yet realize the depths of yourself, the goals you have set and the challenges, and this material should be used to open up your inner horizons and to lead you in those directions toward which your inner self has already set you. [...]

Now I will tell you the material that I have given you will help you and you should listen to it often. It should make one thing clear. [...]

[...] You should know better than to cower when you come here. [...]

[...] When you understand this material I have given you this evening, it will help you and you should read it often. [...]

[...] Overall, I do agree, however, that our sessions ideally should not be tied to utility as a primary consideration, but should be freed of such considerations, at least generally speaking, so that their full potential can be expressed. [...]

[...] A man if possible should own his own business, provide a service for the community—and, again, inventiveness or creativity were to be wedded to those pursuits. [...]

[...] You began to accumulate some ideas of a different nature, wondering more about your responsibilities to the world as adults, wondering how “useful” art should be in the world. [...]

[...] So your dream sparked the discussion that sparked these later emotional realizations on Ruburt’s part—realizations that should go a long way toward removing such feelings of responsibility, and hence relieving the situation considerably. [...]

The feeling even astonished you, so by contrast it should show you your own mode of thought habitually, and by implication suggest Ruburt’s. The experience should have been illuminating.

This is not to say that all such children should be cared for at home, or that parents should feel guilty if they are forced through circumstances to place their offspring in an institution. [...]

[...] Because the reasons for any such conditions can be so diverse, then life should be encouraged even in the face of deformities. [...]

[...] He said she should use her “abilities” —though he was not specific.) And you will. [...]

(Humorously:) But you should issue only se-lec-tive invitations, and be careful of the company you keep.

I should emphasize that it would be better for you not to play with tables at all, except here or in the company of others who are already familiar with such work.

[...] Certainly if your joint desire to see Ruburt better was as active and dedicated as theoretically it should be, the towels would have been used.

You should, however, dedicate yourselves each morning to that pursuit, while not with heavy hand. [...]

[...] Ruburt should read the sessions over, and make a greater attempt to follow the suggestions, particularly when the weather is cool; the walking. [...]

[...] He should dismiss the tests entirely from his mind. [...] But at this stage he simply should leave the grading and so forth to you. [...]

[...] The direct experience of the developing dream is what they should be concerned with.

Dr. Instream should if possible read the data on your private tests, for on occasion it is possible that some of the Instream material may bleed through, so to speak. [...]

Now in regard to our own test this evening: Ruburt, at this stage, should not work on our own test results as he has been doing. [...]

[...] This certainly must hint at some conscious control, Joseph, and should make you feel more confident about our sessions, not less. [...] That is as it should be. But if other demonstrations should follow at least go along with me, as you certainly can.

[...] Lack of record should not be taken to ridicule the validity of these facts, since many people today could not find their own birth certificates.

I suppose I should consider myself lucky that you don’t request a demonstration of the tree to grow up through your living room. [...]

[...] You should at least seek acquaintance before you ask favors.

(As he stated in the 68th and 170th sessions, Seth said that should he materialize in full view in the middle of the room it would not be considered as evidence by those who did not wish to believe it possible; they would ascribe it to mass hallucination, etc. [...]

[...] More often than not after such an experience we wish it hadn’t taken place; at the same time we feel that such sessions are another facet of the Seth experience, and as such should take place at least to some extent.

[...] This was complicated by her self-questioning over the matter of control, and whether we should have nothing but regular sessions. [...]

[...] We are very cautious here, actually, hence my earlier statement that after such a session we wonder whether we should have allowed it to take place.)

He should give notice to his Mr. Miller by August first, at the latest, if not earlier. He should expect to make his financial contribution through his classes, and to throw his energy into them, and be patient as he would if he had an outside job.

[...] When the bathroom is entirely completed with the exception of the ceiling perhaps, then the clothing should be washed, and preferably, this time at a different laundromat.

[...] Ruburt should definitely now concentrate on his book during the night hours, perhaps thinking of poetry toward dawn.

[...] You should use the intellect you have and the intuition that you have, but I sneak through the cracks. [...]

[...] I am a consciousness, and what you should know I try to tell you, and I try to teach you. [...]

Now, there is no reason why truth should not be joyful, there is no reason why truth cannot play tricks, even with noses. [...]

[...] I did not mean, earlier, to give the impression that I was poking fun at our friend’s intellect, only that you can at times prevent him from reaching out to others as he should. [...]
