“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] In such circumstances, the personality does not leave your system, in your terms, for some time, though this is all subjective. [...]

Now some comments on another subject.

[...] Traditionally we’ve cast that feeling or knowledge in religious terms, for want of a better framework, but I think that more and more now the search is also on within science for a theory—even a hypothesis—that will lock up our often subjective variables into what might be called a more human equivalent of the still-sought-for unified theory in physics. [...]

Some of our readers, sending us recent books and copies of articles written by scientists working on these subjects, have noted that it must be nice for Jane and me to have concepts that Seth has been discussing for years “corroborated” by the establishment (often we already had the material on file, by the way). [...]

Whatever the initial course of action agreed to in just this probable reality by everyone involved, from whatever point in the “past,” in Framework 1 the participants have subjected it to an almost infinite variety of choices and modifications through the years: but always—always—within nature’s great structure, and accompanied by the utter freedom of each person concerned to accept, reject, abort, or change the whole affair from their individual perspective at any moment….

[...] That mutual illness obviously became a deeply charged subject for both of them. [...]

[...] Your subjective state has variety. [...]

[...] Ideally even illnesses are a part of the body’s health, representing needed adjustments, and also following the needs of the subjective person at any given time. [...]

3. Seth referred to the latest scientific ideas concerning “selfish genes” — a subject Jane and I had been talking about today. [...]

A number of scientists — biologists, zoologists, and psychologists, among others — have recently published highly praised books in which they claim to show how our genes manipulate our individual behavior with only their own genetic survival at stake, even when we think we are displaying subjective qualities like altruism. [...]

(Seth:)Now, subject: Anita Bryant. Subject: Jonestown. Subject: Communication of the official consciousness and what it has wrought.

([Rick:] Seth, this is a little changing the subject just a bit, but I’ve been very interested about your comments about the dream art scientists and mental physicists as being some of the careers that I have been interested in.

[...] We’ve realized for some time that Jane is sensitive to those subjects, particularly religion; she had strict training in that field as a youngster. [...]

[...] Following break, Seth-Jane delivered five excellent pages of data about my painting and related subjects. [...]

This is not hedging the matter, if you will excuse a pun, and the subject will take much further study on your parts. [...]

[...] This is the first time, I believe, that this particular subject has come into our discussions. [...]

[...] Nevertheless I do go easy on you now and then, merely because I like to vary the intensities of our sessions, as this is a most effective teaching method, and various portions of subject matter cause different energy expenditures.

[...] The greater varieties of subjective experience, however, allow for no such easy equations.

[...] In basic terms, however, you cannot equate one self with another self—or for that matter one life with another life, for the subjective realities of people involve dimensions that do not show physically.

[...] It is better to concentrate on the subjective reality involved—that is easier, for if successful you will automatically tune into the future self that “emerged” from your present reality. [...]

[...] As in your terms the cavemen ventured out into the daylight of the earth, there is a time for man to venture out into a greater knowledge of his subjective reality, comma, to explore the dimensions of selfhood and go beyond the small areas of himself in which he has thus far found shelter.

[...] Since starting the series of sessions that make up “Unknown” Reality, it’s becoming something of a custom for her to deliver a little material on other subjects after book dictation; she did so again now, and finished the session at 11:51 P.M.

3. In Note 1 for Session 681 I dealt very briefly with fluctuations of consciousness, or reality, and referred the reader to the 567th session in Chapter 16 of Seth Speaks. For additional material on the same subject in the same book, also see the 535th session in Chapter 9 and the 576th in Chapter 19.

I will have more to say on this subject in a personal context at our next session. [...]

[...] This presentation shows Seth’s way of weaving one subject through another as he inserts new discussions and information while building on past sessions, and points up his method of using Rob’s and my own daily experiences as a launching pad for his own material.

The appendix includes several subjects not covered in the book proper. [...]

The evening’s material has come to a natural breaking-off point, but we have also reached some subjects that we have not discussed in previous sessions, and tonight’s session can serve as a preparation for later information. [...]

[...] Remember here our discussions upon the subject of the limitations of the self.

I will have more to say concerning this after I have developed certain subject matter that is important. [...]

[...] As we speak of such subjects in their relation to various phenomena, again it must be kept in mind that such realities are being considered often from one aspect only, but that their reality extends into many other dimensions.

[...] I have already given the title, and at another level of consciousness Jane Roberts was able (12 days ago, for example) to perceive some glimpses of some of the subject matter that will be included here. [...]

To do this, I hope to explore a more meaningful concept of evolution¹—and that concept must involve a discussion of subjective reality and its effect upon the “evolution” of man’s consciousness.

[...] We think about those subjects too, but in order to have the sessions on a week-to-week basis we concentrate upon the simple creative achievement embodied in each session itself, and let go of the larger implications. [...]

[...] “I don’t know when, but sometime earlier — quite a bit earlier — I felt that that would be the subject today,” she said. [...]

[...] Jane didn’t know about trying an emotional subject like an autobiography with someone else, though. [...]

Just before the session she showed me a page of notes she’d picked up from Seth today, about the subject matter for tonight’s session—but we had no time in which to discuss them.)

[...] But that intent was sabotaged because the philosophy behind it denied the validity of the very subjective values that give man his reason for living. [...]

[...] Seth hadn’t covered her notes about caveman art, however; she’d especially looked forward to his comments on that subject.

[...] This came about because of a note I’m writing for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality, and I may quote part of Seth’s material on the subject in that note.

[...] Seth’s presentations clearly illuminate the subject matter of both Jane’s dream and our questions about evolution. [...]

If you have more questions on this subject, give them to me at our next session. [...]

(She had no actual idea of the subject matter for the session as the time for it approached. [...]

[...] He is extremely touchy, for all his training, upon this subject in general.

We can progress now to the subject of the car incident.

Now that this is finished, we can return again to the subject at hand, and the mirror instance. [...]

(9:43.) Give us a moment… Your subjective options are far greater, and yet so of course is the necessity to place that subjective experience into meaningful terms. [...]

So your present experience is quite different than that of those forefathers who lived in the medieval world, say, and you cannot appreciate the differences in your [present] subjective attitudes, and in the quality, as well as the kind of, social intercourse that exists now. [...]

[...] That psyche has been emerging more and more in whatever guise it is allowed to as it seeks to express its vitality, its purpose and exuberance, and as it seeks out new contexts in which to express a subjective reality that finally spills over the edges of sterile beliefs.

The subject matter of suffering is certainly vitally connected to the subject at hand, but basically speaking, disease and suffering are not necessarily connected. [...]

[...] The gist of tonight’s material on this subject was that Bill allowed his intuitions enough freedom so that he was able to see the apparition for over an hour and to make several drawings of it; by the same token Jane and I were unable to see the apparition because we tried to intellectualize it. [...]

[...] I would say subjectively that they were probably second best however. [...]

(Possibly reflecting his early Speaker practices — which may be continuing on subjective levels — Ron is active in lay church work, and knows much about the Bible and related subjects. [...]
