“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] You should not let those periods collect, however. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s condition is in no way reprehensible (repeated twice)—there is no reason why you should consider it in such a fashion. [...]

The suggestions I gave about the morning should be followed. [...]

[...] Conventional attitudes began to speak: you should be kind to guests. [...]

Your working room should not be disturbed, that is you should have your own working room. [...]

(Jane also reported that twice within the past two days she had received “flashes” in the third person, to the effect that our bed, temporarily in the living room, should be moved to my empty studio in the back of the apartment if we are still here next winter. [...]

You are extraordinarily gifted, and you certainly should be subconsciously aware of this, as well as take a conscious justified pride in it. [...]

If you find yourself falling short, of illness, then by all means consider yourself healthy, and do not cry because you cannot see or measure up to, I should say down to, the same sick standards.

The situation for Ruburt is the same as given in my last session for him (on June 24), which should be read again, this time more carefully.

[...] He told himself he should be calm when Tam came, and trust himself and not be concerned, which is very logical. [...]

And incidentally, necessary business concerning the sending out of manuscripts, he does not subconsciously consider, should be considered part of his writing day.

[...] He will learn shortly, and without any real difficulty, that while his new schedule will be, as it should be, followed with discipline, nevertheless he cannot expect a new idea every day.

At least an hour a day should be devoted to it. [...]

[...] Even in winter time I will suggest he take walks, and these should be for pure enjoyment. [...]

[...] In portraits, while the inner skeletal structure must be hinted at, and while the figure should be well done, still there should be the suggestion of the personality going beyond the image, and of the personality’s energy radiating outward.

You as artist, symbolically speaking, should not step backward to see the landscape more clearly, but step into it so that you can feel it more clearly. [...]

You should in any case whenever possible sketch outdoors, for you are personally renewed by such an encounter, And the implications are very different. [...]

[...] While opaques may be used to suggest physical heaviness, transparents should be used also to show that in actuality rocks are as light as air, and to hint at the ever-mobile energy that forms them.

(Seth proceeded to suggest several things Peggy might do; if she followed the suggestions the trouble should disappear. She should give herself suggestions before sleep that she not sleep on her left side, but her right side instead. [...]

[...] He told her to use suggestion that her circulation in the afflicted areas be more than adequate until the condition subsided; she should do this frequently during the day. [...]

[...] In addition, Peggy should be careful at the end of this exercise, when she drops her head forward, supposedly in a relaxed manner. [...]

[...] He said Peggy should surmount the problem setting up the tension in her back, which was leading in turn to the other physical symptoms, for if she did not there was a danger that any habits of rigidity would grow worse in the future. [...]

[...] When he left he took with him a contract signed by Jane for Oversoul Seven, plus two more Sevens, should she ever write them. [...]

[...] You and Ruburt should be willing to express your emotions to each other even more than you have, for they have a quickening element, and are highly important in moving you from one state of awareness into another. [...]

The soreness in his legs sometimes at night should be easily understood, for work can be done then when he is not on his feet. [...]

Ruburt may waken in the night, feeling fairly alert, physically rested, yet his programming says that you should sleep. [...]

[...] Since I am not sure which of the two women, the mother or aunt, is involved, this information from my statement to you, should remain private. [...]

[...] Except for vacations and a few rest periods, sessions should be regular for overall effectiveness. [...]

Spontaneous sessions may be held, but the overall routine should be continued. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) This should vanish in time. [...]

[...] I know this and it does not bother me so I don’t see why it should bother our friend (Ruburt) here. [...]

[...] You have come here for your own reasons and though you should know what your reasons are, someday I will tell you. [...]

[...] You have more staying power than you know and you (Amelia) should realize that you are also here for a reason and that you build more that garden roads. [...]

[...] There should be occasions when Ruburt’s features will change to some considerable extent when I speak to you, but you will have to be content for now with that part of me you can sense. [...]

[...] I mention this because there should be no divisions, and in trying to maintain balance, now, Ruburt has a tendency to think “Now I should try to be physical,” or “Now I should work,” where the two flow effortlessly together, and you can help him see this.

(The second question had to do with Seth’s ideas about our appearing on the David Susskind show, TV, in New York City, should we be asked. [...]

[...] He is not to walk normally because he should, any more than he should write “because he should.” [...]

You believed that you should be outgoing, vigorous, somewhat competitive, and you believed you should be socially oriented, while at the same time you believed that those things conflicted in a basic way with other drives. You felt you should be introverted, have periods of isolation, time to sit and think, to write and paint, to look inward rather than outward. [...]

This does not mean that you should begin shoveling walks tomorrow, with your attitude. [...]

[...] In summer, you think you should do the lawn. [...]

[...] Ruburt has had excellent results with Emir, and you should rejoice. [...]

Unknown characters within the dream action, persons unknown to you in daily life, should be given careful attention also, and the roles which they play within the dream drama. The primary colors should be noted. It goes without saying now that all dream events should be checked against physical reality so that any clairvoyant elements are clearly checked and recorded. [...]

Particular notice should also be taken of characters and settings and the approximate period of history in which the dream action occurs. If the dream seems to happen in no specific location and in no particular time, then these facts should also be noted.

[...] You should try both methods and discover which one works the best for you. If at all possible, the recorder should be in the bedroom (not in another part of the house.) It is the immediate dream recall we are after. [...]

The number of remembered dreams should be much higher than your present system allows. [...]

[...] However there is more material concerning the nature of matter which should be considered first.

[...] He should have seen it from that viewpoint. [...]

[...] Our material speaks for itself, and many of Mr. Cayce’s comments are extremely valid and should be helpful to you. [...]

[...] Nor was, nor should, my well-meaning suggestion be taken, as Ruburt at least once mentioned, as any sort of temptation to him to retreat from the outer world.

[...] Now you should have a series of dreams representing other aspects of the entire situation. [...]

[...] They came, therefore, as hooded strangers and they were requiring tribute and you did not know whether or not the cause was legitimate or if you should contribute to it. [...]

[...] You should also have a series of dreams that work out various aspects of the same problem for this is but one isolated point of your feelings. [...]

[...] But Ruburt did not want to add his ideas to this discussion, he wanted to find out what you thought, and so I should, by rights, not add mine. [...]

[...] There are sessions hidden away (with wry amusement) that should have explained that episode. [...]

You felt that love and devotion should be understood, and that they did not need to be stated. [...]

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

You would go out of your way not to give such approval, by making a joke or whatever, because you did not believe that verbal communication should be used for such purposes. [...]

[...] Therefore the mobility should be encouraged.

[...] (To me:) You have been operating far more than in the past, and you should shortly now gain conscious awareness. [...]

[...] Ruburt should tell himself now that all other tensions can leave through his fingertips, not back up there you see but go completely outward. [...]

One other small point: Ruburt should continue the psychic and sensual contact with his body, listening to the messages that it gives him. [...]

[...] I have a few remarks for you that should be gratifying. [...]

I will want to continue along the present lines of our session discussions but you are ready, or Ruburt is, so that any information on reincarnation should come through very well now. [...]

You, Joseph, though I speak softly, should also now be aware that my presence here is stronger.

[...] Joint psychic endeavors should be very successful and help you both develop your abilities further. [...]

Unconsciously you feel that because you are the oldest son you should be the money-maker, in your mother’s eyes; but she never considered painting as such as financially rewarding. [...]

[...] Ruburt should write in a personal diary if he prefers, but write his feelings several times a week. [...]

[...] Any emotion at that point should be released. [...]

Emphasis should not be on performance but on expression, and Ruburt particularly encouraged to express all feelings, no matter how ambiguous. [...]

[...] The pendulum suggestions are, as you supposed, too bulky (in the morning), and Ruburt should reorganize and cut them to some degree. Main points should be the trust of the body—that is paramount—and the expression of the creative spontaneous self in all areas of daily life. [...]

[...] He should do a follow-up on it. [...]

[...] Continue your program, and when the suggestions have been pared down into a clearer kind of statement, then Ruburt should indeed—alone this time—read that material after lunch.
