“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] This applies to death through natural catastrophe as well as to any other situation.

(Pause at 10:19.) As racial problems may be worked out on many levels, through a riot or a natural disaster, or a combination of both, according to the intensity of the situation on a psychological level; and as physical symptoms can be pleas for help and recognition, so can natural misfortunes be utilized by members of one portion of the country, or one part of the world, to obtain aid from other portions.

(Pause.) As mentioned earlier in this book, Ruburt and Joseph were both involved in a flood situation (in June, 1972), and so I will use that as a case in point and this specific area in particular, although the flood itself was much more far-reaching.

Locally you had a depressed region not yet in the kind of crisis situation that would draw great federal funds, and highly unstable social and economic conditions coupled with a sense of hopelessness.

Your reaction has changed the situation for the better. [...] Because of your most sensible reaction, the whole situation is much less bothersome than it would be otherwise. [...]

[...] The situation was not without its comic aspects.

I do not seem to see a courtroom situation however, but a settling up, or an agreement to settle up. [...]

One note: since much of this session has to do with personal material concerning your landlord, I did not mean earlier to point out to you your own reaction, Joseph, which has been excellent to the situation in general.

[...] You have been looking, both of you, to see how bad Ruburt was, how much worse he would get, until each of you projected the situation into the future until he was nearly bedridden—all in a misguided attempt to get yourselves out of the situation.

Ruburt’s set of beliefs for some time were so invisible, and he identified with them so completely, that it was extremely difficult for him to examine them in the light of the present and his now situation.

If he were as spontaneous physically as he was mentally, then his living situation could become unstable. [...]

[...] Not that you consciously approved the methods used, but he had his situation and yours always in mind, and was convinced he was acting for both of your interest.

[...] In other words, they range over the usual human situations we encounter. [...] There may not be any simple one way to handle the situation. [...]

[...] Perhaps we’ll learn more about the situation as it develops. [...]

[...] The main point also is to be relieved of comparison with a super image, with thoughts of what he should be, and an acknowledgement of his own (underlined) feelings about any event or situation. [...]

[...] The gist of the impressions seemed to be that she ought to ease off walking while the body recovered —a very strange state of affairs, it seems to me, and a situation that has bothered me often before: Why should the body give up certain functions if it’s in the process of recovering? [...]

[...] I would like to suggest a different approach, and one that would have greatly benefited the situation yesterday, say, and today, had it been used earlier.

[...] In your latest attempts to remedy the situation, and in your determination to do so, you have ended up concentrating upon the problem, putting it foremost in your minds, searching for the reasons, and giving yourselves no rest. [...]

[...] According to the day, the situation, you may then want to work with the pendulum, considering some specific event or issue from that day—but this need not be a lengthy session at all. [...]

I am not condoning, you understand, the situation. [...] This does not mean that good intentions caused these situations.

Another tragedy due, either closely connected with the present situation, with those involved in this present situation, or with another member of the Kennedy family.

[...] Jane said that just before the session began, she had a “flash” to the effect that another Kennedy was to be involved in a tragedy, or that the present situation involving Senator Kennedy would evolve into another tragedy.

[...] When the first brother, or rather President Kennedy died, then it was known that this present situation would occur, and Bob Kennedy knew this very nearly at a conscious level.

Psychocybernetics (underlined) is a good handbook, very simplified, with some distortions, but its premise is quite correct: you do hypnotize yourself into such situations. [...] The dreams show your activity in Framework 2 —and again, may I recommend on Ruburt’s part some sense of creativity in his physical situation? [...]

[...] They act often like barriers, or coats of armor, and according to the situation another person must first confront this condition or coat of armor, if he ever hopes to establish contact with the personality. [...]

[...] His physical situation—the symptoms—are public to the extent that others know he has difficulties. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s situation is noticeable. It is an example, however, of what goes on constantly in far less obvious situations with most people.

[...] Half our problem, we saw in a discussion before the guests arrived, was that we had no planned response for such situations: we ended up feeling guilty at saying no, and resentful at saying yes. [...]

The situation with the eyes today, however, can be used as a basis to lead to an understanding that the same can happen with the teeth. [...]

The situation itself. [...] A reaction on your part would be wasted, for the situation will soon change. [...]

The situation is not stable now. [...]

The situation will change further. [...]

[...] Suggestions, whether given to you or given by you, cause an emotional situation that automatically affects the production of hormones and chemicals.

In the past, you have had to wait for this, for you did not know how to combat the situation otherwise. [...]

[...] He felt trapped, unable to escape an unwanted situation, and here, the foot difficulties. [...]

[...] When you rail against an unfavorable environment, or a situation or condition, basically — and underline the following phrase — you are not acting independently, but almost blindly reacting. You are reacting to events that seem to happen to you, and always in response to a situation.

[...] He glowered at our friend Ruburt with great vehemency, projecting all of the energy at his command to show that he would not be cowed, and that if anyone took over the situation he would be the one to do so. [...]

It is natural enough in your situation to have blue periods now and then.

[...] Generally speaking, you have handled such situations well, and what I said about your activities in Framework 2 does still apply.

[...] Some take longer than others to understand the true situation.

[...] Some will refuse to accept the idea of further work, development, and challenge, believing instead that conventional heaven situations are the only possibility. [...]

[...] There are no special “places” or situations or conditions set apart after physical death in which any given personality must have experience.

Again, teachers are available to explain the true situation. [...]

[...] In the long run your present situation would deny them far more. I am speaking of the physical situation—the illness itself.You have every good chance of ridding yourself of the symptoms now, but you must immediately begin to use your imagination, so that it works for you and not against you.

You must either accept your situation as it is, change it, or at least feel that you have the ability to change it. [...]

[...] Do not keep thinking of the job situation so that you are hammering yourself over the head with it constantly. [...]

[...] You are overemphasizing the negative aspects of that situation, and the overemphasis makes you feel trapped and powerless. [...]

(My viewpoint was that it was impossible for me not to have strong feelings about the situation, even though—as I said—I agreed that her paper was a highly creative piece of work, that it augured well for the future, and that it was so far easily the best material we’d gotten on the symptom affair. Yet I still felt questions and statements going around in my head as we retired—and as is often the case in such situations I wondered if I’d gone too far in my reactions, and needlessly interfered with Jane’s attempts to probe into and understand a most difficult challenge. [...]

(The swollen condition of her feet still concerned me, although I’ve kept in mind Seth’s material on that situation and feel better about it. [...]

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

Now it is often difficult to see yourself clearly, and your situation, because you seem so close to it. It is quite possible however when you know how to use one of these passageways and look at yourself and your situation from a different viewpoint, to see it in greater perspective and from outside your particular room—to see it perhaps more clearly in its entirety.

Make sure that you do not project any negative attitudes toward other issues into the situation. [...]

[...] 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. [...]

(9:21.) These outposts were situated in many scattered areas, but there were a fairly large number of them in what is now Spain and the Pyrenees. [...]

(9:34.) For these reasons, those individuals who ran the outposts felt themselves to be in a very uncomfortable situation. [...]

There were frequent peepholes, so to speak, through to the surface, from which they could make observations, and cameras situated there that kept the most precise pictures not only of the earth, but of the stars.

[...] They were largely situated in what you call Asia Minor, but they were also expansive and traveled outward to other areas. [...]

It means that symbolized so that you can see the situation as you see it. [...] Now you should have a series of dreams representing other aspects of the entire situation. [...]

[...] The situation is not that bad and there is hope yet. [...]

[...] You will paint the situation for yourself by using many different dramas. [...]

Now this bargain does not only have to do with your psychic work but to your entire life situation and in a way you have the same goals but you have a division of labor that you have subconsciously decided upon. [...]

(I began to get a fresh insight to the symptom situation as we talked, hardly realizing that I was doing so. [...]

(“So you’re in trouble,” I said, “because that situation makes the Seth material legitimate. [...]

[...] Dealing with our personal situations was taking up more and more of our time. [...]

[...] The situation also helped serve to explain, you felt particularly in the beginning, oddities of your own behaviors in regard to society. [...]

His overconscientiousness as a young person, and his intense concern—overconcern—at times with the literal “truth” of any given situation, is and was largely his reaction to his mother’s habitual, often mischievous lying pattern. [...]

His mother’s pathological lying meant that Ruburt had to assess and reassess any given situation as a child. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s feelings of panic can then be understood as originating in response to a highly complicated, intense early life, and in concrete situations. [...]

[...] Many of Ruburt’s current attitudes, for example, will at least make more sense to him as he sees that they originated in response to situations against which a child had no recourse. [...]
