“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The body is a spiritual, psychic, and social statement, biologically spoken. [...]

[...] In making such statements I am not personifying the cell, for the desire for communication and motion does not belong to man, or even animals, alone. [...]

[...] The body, then, no matter how private, is also a public, social, biological statement. [...]

[...] All epidemics, however, are mass statements both biologically and psychically. [...]

The nuances of such a statement as I have just made are many. [...]

[...] Ruburt, being an excellent writer, certainly does not feel at the mercy of all of those unknown, uncounted hours spent in childhood writing poetry—so it is only your frame of reference that makes the former statement appear to be true. [...]

[...] That is, the expression of love automatically reassures the sinful self that it is indeed not sinful (a statement that at once I found hard to believe, considering its past and recent actions). [...]

(Very long pause at 8:25.) The emotional forces that lie behind these statements that I make are impossible to describe. [...]

[...] There was stuff I’ve also forgotten though that made me waken at once, furious; some connection between the two books, also whole bunches of feelings rise to my mind about the disclaimer being like a sign or statement that I’m a liar or that my work isn’t truthful or like, hell, the letter A for adulteress they used to pin on wicked women.... [...]

If you are speaking in terms of that particular statement—those statements—if you cannot avoid making those particular statements, then you will do the children harm. If you can still teach while avoiding those particular statements, then you can teach. [...]

[...] However, since I have nowhere made any statement on such a weighty problem, I shall here do so for the statements are needed regardless of humor. [...]

(“A statement.” The envelope object is a statement of various possibilities to be checked out concerning the impressions on page 32.

[...] A statement. [...]

[...] This is borne out also by Seth’s last statement, where I asked him to elaborate: “The switch seems to be involved with a change of plans, or a switch of dates.” [...]

[...] The envelope object can also be a plan for checking the impressions on page 32, as well as a statement.

It would be most handy for him after some thinking to draw up his own statements of the areas of his main concentrations. [...]

[...] Even within that statement there must be room for growth and accomplishment, “to explore the nature of reality.”

I suggest that such a statement be drawn up, for it would certainly help clarify many situations, and show Ruburt that he was performing very well indeed. [...]

[...] She remembered Seth’s material about her statement of ability and intent. [...]

5. Seth’s statement reminded me of an article I read in a newspaper a few years ago. [...] Jane and I still think it amazing that a man in such a position could make a statement displaying so little insight….

(Seth’s last statement had to do with his contention that “hormones are also automatically released into the system, encouraging either periods of activity or tranquilizing periods, according to the specific portions of the overall process [of healing]. [...]

[...] Biological, sociological, or even economic factors may be involved, in that for a variety of reasons, and at different levels, whole groups of individuals want to die at any given time — but in such a way that their individual deaths amount to a mass statement.

[...] Some of my statements clearly cannot be proven, in your terms, and appear almost sacrilegious. [...]

[...] Epidemics sweeping through animal populations are also biological and psychic statements, then, in which each individual knows that only its own greatest fulfillment can satisfy the quality of life on an individual basis, and thus contribute to the mass survival of the species.

[...] Each case is individual, however, so these are general statements.

[...] Note, though, that Seth’s statements here refer only to LSD, used under certain conditions. [...]

[...] The same statement was made when you carried Ruburt to the car. In exaggerated form, Ruburt makes the same statement of his own with his own symptoms—that is, they also express attitudes. [...]

What you want is not a crisis situation, but a therapeutic situation—so change the statements of your thoughts. [...]

(8:19.) You have both tried to handle the situation by yourselves, and that statement applies to you both. [...]

(After this session Jane wrote to Marie in an effort to verify the above statement. [...]

(The last few paragraphs of the above material we thought to be an elaboration of Seth’s rather cryptic statement in the 97th session, page 72, to the effect that in some respects all planes or fields of existence are indeed by-products of others.

[...] You may repeat the statement for him to read. [...]

[...] Later, realizing that the suggestion had been a poor one, and moreover one of which he was not certain, he amended the statement, adding that such a formation could also be the result of injury or simple irritation to the joint.

(Seth’s statement that Jane doesn’t have an infection reminded me that months ago Marcia Kardon had very adamantly told us that when a person has a catheter inserted “they always—always—get an infection.” [...]

[...] I was surprised at both statements. [...]

[...] A recognition of that simple statement would indeed change your world.”

[...] Phil wrote and signed a statement to this effect.

Later elaborations on the above statement gave us a pretty fair idea of what inner processes go on so that Seth and I can make contact. [...]

The session lasted until 11:30 P.M. Rob was reassured by Seth’s statements about my ability to handle dissociation, and by his responsible attitude. [...]

[...] He made a few kindly but definite statements to the effect that we should know better, and suggested that the appliance be moved into the kitchen, where it would hold all our refrigerated food. [...]

Your Sumari statement. [...]

[...] In your terms the initial statement was a physical reminder of a covenant already made before spirit was made flesh.

There are developments still occurring, or rather the developments begun are only begun; and with that enigmatic statement I will end the session. [...]

[...] The statement is, comparatively speaking, a simple one, so that we can see what Ruburt can do with it.

[...] Visually you were able to pick up the present version of the Sumari statement. [...]

[...] This is a physical statement of the inner change, and the inner change must be reflected physically of course: the intention to work with, not against the body, and to help encourage its natural spontaneity and functions.

[...] Hardly a coincidence, for the mass minds of the people are able to make certain joint statements, and those statements are heard.

To some extent (underlined) — a qualified statement, now — the scientists have become somewhat contemptuous of all who do not understand their language: the non-elite. [...]

[...] (With some irony:) It would not be entirely out of keeping, though somewhat exaggerated a statement, to claim that men who stockpile nuclear weapons in order to preserve peace are insane. [...]

[...] That statement is generally true, but specifically, of course, any act of the imagination involves reasoning, and any [act] of reason involves the imagination.

In this neighborhood (gesturing), Ruburt’s symptoms were a social statement also to the neighbors at large in the new environment: better than a note upon the door, that neither of you were to be bothered, but ignored. [...]

(10:15.) Now: you can express the same statements in other ways, by being willing to make decisions on their own basis: “Yes, I want to do this. [...]

[...] Unless you accept that statement at least as a theory upon which to build, then much of my material would appear meaningless.

That statement, therefore, must be the basis for any new scientific theories that hope to accomplish any performances at all leading to an acquisition of knowledge.
