“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You would learn little of what it means subjectively to be a human being by simply studying a picture of one. [...]

[...] As noted, a long pause followed here, but Jane subjectively was not aware of this. [...]

[...] When I was drafted during the second World War I was given aptitude tests; to my surprise I did well on mechanical subjects, and ended up as an airplane mechanic and instrument specialist in the Air Transport Command.)

[...] This message was given, incidentally, mentally while he was delivering my words on another subject, and this is an accomplishment indeed.

[...] Jane and I do not recall reading anything treating with the subject, and wonder whether it could not be quite a valid field for investigation in itself.)

[...] Jane had begun delivering the Seth material late in 1963, and soon afterwards Seth started developing his ideas on probabilities.¹ Many times while looking at the snapshots since then I’d found myself speculating about the probable realities surrounding their two young subjects. [...]

[...] She also gave a number of private Seth sessions for the two of us on a variety of subjects. [...]

I remember being a little surprised at her subject matter for “The Red Wagon” — for it’s not contradictory to write here that even though she was so interested in reincarnation as a theory, we seldom talked about it. [...]

[...] The bulk of it is often applicable to others, and eventually she may write a book about the whole subject. [...]

[...] Ruburt will probably begin to experience the refreshment I mentioned, and relaxation, more and more, but it was also important that he be aware of the subjective state that had been causing the difficulty. [...]

[...] Marian said frankly that the idea made her “scary” so we did not insist, and rarely mentioned this material unless she brought up the subject herself. [...]

[...] Only moments afterward, memory of the thing was beginning to vanish, and words hardly express the subjective sensations. [...]

[...] It is for this reason that he now and then does enjoy visitors to sessions, because he instinctively feels that he is thereby learning to manipulate and use these abilities oftentimes, and thereby learn the various subjective feelings that accompany valid perceptions, and to distinguish these from subjective feelings that turn out to be based upon invalid perceptions.

(In any event, here are short Seth quotations on five of the subjects he referred to that are of special interest to us. [...]

(Finally, as we waited for Seth to return, Jane said: “Now I am confused — I can get material on three different subjects….” [...]

[...] The subjective reality of one man, left alone in the universe, would emit enough energy to seed another. [...]

[...] Nor did Jane ever return to the subject. [...]

[...] She looked up, then said she felt the subjective pyramid above her head. [...]

(Several times this morning while we were working Jane mentioned that she was receiving flashes from Seth about a particular subject—the refrigerator in our bathroom. [...]

[...] Later, as we discussed her use of Sumari in the material for this appendix, I asked her if she could describe the subjective feelings involved with her ability to go so quickly from Seth to Sumari, as well as to reverse the order.

[...] That is, I made no effort to bring up the subject, nor did Norma as I waited somewhat curiously through the evening. [...]

[...] A sentence is built up as words, parts of speech, verbs, and adjectives, subjects and predicates, vowels and syllables, and underneath there is the entire structure that allows you to speak or read to begin with. [...]

[...] Most of that material hasn’t been published, although in Chapter 17 of The Seth Material Jane described Seth Two to some extent, including “his, hers, or its” intimate connections with Seth: the subjective pyramid or cone effects she experiences just above her head when contacting Seth Two; and the great energy she feels at such times. [...] The excerpts show not only something of Seth’s connections on the “other side” of Jane, but in one case her violent reactions of surprise and panic when she attempted to translate something of Seth Two’s reality in terms of our own camouflage world: She found herself deeply involved in an unexpected experience with “massiveness” — one of the subjects I want to refer to in these preliminary notes. [...]

[...] In the session itself she came through with material about herself on her “own,” without Seth, but in an altered state of consciousness in which she experienced many vivid subjective images, coupled with strong feelings of massiveness. [...]

[...] This was reminiscent of Seth Two’s method of delivery, yet subjectively I felt differences. [...]

(This session was not particularly planned, but grew out of conversation on the subject. [...]

[...] I have no idea of the reaction, subjectively, of some of the witnesses to what must have seemed a very strange happening indeed. [...]

[...] The rational approach works quite well in certain situations, such as mass production of goods, or in certain kinds of scientific measurements — but all in all the rational method, as it is understood and used, does not work as an overall approach to life, or in the solving of problems that involve subjective rather than objective measurements or calculations.

[...] Briefly and very simply, Seth maintains that Framework 2, or inner reality, contains the creative source from which we form all events, and that by the proper focusing of attention we can draw from that vast subjective medium everything we need for a constructive, positive life in Framework 1, or physical reality.”

The “natural” subjective experience — the feelings involved — give the opposite explanation. [...]

[...] But here, in these subtle (byways) of subjective action, we very well might be seeing some of these hidden psychic motions upon which physical events rest … and how today’s events and last year’s rub against each other like leaves from the same tree. [...]

(At first Jane and I thought of calling this session a deleted one—but its subject matter fits into Dreams too well for us to do that.

[...] Subject: World War II. [...]
