“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I told her that as I understood such matters, her behavior could lead to uremic poisoning, or dehydration, should she compensate for “holding it” for such long periods by cutting down on her intake of liquids. [...]

(I still think that paper is a very revealing one, for it contains several important clues that we should keep always in mind, but often do not. [...]

[...] My personal opinion at the moment is that we should have taken this step a long time ago. [...]

[...] That sentence should be completely underlined. [...]

[...] Seth mentioned that Jane’s own memories of the shredded-wheat incident should have told her what had happened. [...]

[...] Seth repeated often that Peggy and Bill should read more of the material.

(Speaking of the fact that civilized man should not kill, Seth said the whole idea of killing is fallacious to begin with: an enemy who is “dead” is far more harmful than one who is still alive. [...]

(Seth told the Gallaghers they should record their dreams, and study the symbolisms therein. [...]

[...] You should not do this until you see the whole form.

[...] the methods are extremely important however, and should be definitely included in our material. [...]

[...] A small amount of self-examination should show you that in a very simple way you are always thinking about probabilities. [...] There are tiny innocuous instances that come up daily: “Shall I go to the movies, or bowling?” “Shall I brush my teeth now or later?” “Should I write to my friend today or tomorrow?” There are also more pertinent questions having to do with careers, ways of life, or other deeper involvements. [...]

[...] Do not do what you want to do, but what you should do.’ Never trust the self that you are, the gurus say, but the self that you should be. [...]

[...] That should be underlined.

(With some amusement:) You are both experiencing what should be a natural time of rest—not a low point. [...]

[...] These variations incidentally should be thought of in terms of intensities. [...]

One of us will give you directions shortly, and they should be followed when you are ready, without any changes made on your part. [...]

[...] There are no chapters per se. As Seth explained in the 743rd session: “This book had no chapters [in order] to further disrupt your accepted notions of what a book should be. [...]

Seth’s Preface is in Volume 1, of course, and it too should be studied again; to me, such acts of referral between the two volumes help the reader mentally unite them.

It seemed that I should have finished my part of both books long ago, even though simultaneously I was working on several other projects with Jane, as well as painting a few hours a day. [...]

I also felt that the chronology of presentation for both Seth’s and Jane’s books was being distorted: Because I was so slow in finishing my work on Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality, Jane published her Psychic Politics first, for example, when the reverse order should have prevailed. [...]

[...] It should have a fireplace because of the reminders of the hearth. It should not be sided with aluminum or other metal. In your area it should not face the south. [...]

[...] The land that you own is important, but the visible land that you do not own is also, and you should be in sight of a mountain or some open area, while still having a private ‘secret’ area also.”

(I should add that those reasons do not involve any particular unwillingness on Seth’s part to do this, nor is it that those data we want may have evaporated beyond his recall.)

[...] For future reference, Joseph, and I repeat future, you should not probably need this for awhile, the words “All right Jane, you’re back now,” will always suffice to return Ruburt to his more usual condition.

In all respects there must be complete honesty here, and conditions should be reached where there is no fear of ridicule on Ruburt’s part, or fear of lack of successful data, or failure.

This should be clearly understood, for our progress depends upon a feeling of trust, and fears of this nature will impede us. [...]

[...] Our discussion in the past concerning gestalts should make this point clear. [...]

It should be fairly easy to understand now how the second dilemma evolved from the first. [...]

[...] The difference between consciousness of self as a result of our second dilemma, and ego consciousness as a result of our third dilemma, should be made very clear.

[...] Instead, Ruburt tells himself he should be above such feelings, or that they simply should no longer apply. [...]

The material I gave this evening should help him see the reason for the problems behind the symptoms. [...]

I am afraid we should have to ask Pete. [...]

[...] (To Venice:) our new friend reminds me of the Jesuit when he first came to our sessions (Bill Gallagher)—watching, when break came, to see when Ruburt and I should fall apart from each other. [...]

[...] Perhaps I should ask if my friends hands are tired.

(Pause.) If you take this information to heart, you should then intuitively realize that by giving birth to the child (pause) you performed a kindly gesture, and opened a door. The system should then realize that there is no need for the symptoms, and release you from them.

This should not make you feel cheated. [...]

[...] I felt, then, that there should be a more intimate give-and-take between all portions of a personality. [...]

[...] The idea of those pendulum sessions should not be to find out what is wrong, but to discover Ruburt’s feelings and beliefs, and to ascertain how they can be changed to bring about more favorable conditions.

[...] You cannot say, and should not, place moral connotations in such situations. [...]

[...] Jane said the next day that we should have offered him shelter, but I didn’t feel any compulsion to do so. [...]

[...] You should not realistically feel threatened by them. [...]

(10:40.) They have done you one important service that should not be overlooked: they understood you to be reticent. [...]

I am the one who should do the psychological study from inside—

[...] (Pause.) Such a book would have nothing whatsoever to do with Ruburt’s writing, which should progress at its own rate.

[...] He should return to his poetry however, and his painting as a hobby. [...]

For our guest: you should tell yourself frequently, “I will only react to constructive suggestions,” for this gives you some protection against your own negative thoughts and those of others. [...]

[...] It should be fascinating.”)

“I don’t think I should have watched that program,” she said. [...]

[...] Neither of us had connected my subsequent eye improvements with her insight, although perhaps we should have. [...]

You were under constant pressure, for you felt that you should have learned more. [...]

It is all right to be knuckleheaded when you are awake, but when you are dreaming, you should allow yourself more freedom—remember your love of color. [...]
