“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now these same sort of emotional systems operate under all conditions, and they regulate the kinds of experience to which an individual is susceptible or open, and they close out from his awareness those experiences which he has already decided he will not accept. [...] This field or system will therefore attract certain experiences, close out others, allow others to come so close and no closer, as is the case with Marleno and our sessions.

Now, this same sort of emotional system operates in the sleeping state as well as in the waking state, though there are differences in that the personality will allow greater leeway in the dream state. [...] However the nature of such experiences is strongly dependent upon the particular emotional system that is characteristic of any given personality.

[...] These forces in a large measure form boundaries inside which is a general, or generalized, field or system to which the individual will respond. [...]

[...] What is not understood is that emotional attitudes, conscious and subconscious, have an electromagnetic reality that operates very efficiently, either as an open system which attracts new stimuli, or as a closed electric force that is supercharged.

[...] Obviously such personalities need far more than the neurological systems with which you are presently equipped. For such systems such experience is literally impossible. Now your neurological system is physical but it is based upon your own inner capabilities as of, quote, “now.”

We do know that within this system, this overall system now, of our All That Is, that creation continues and developments are never still. [...]

[...] So there are answers that I cannot give you, for they are not anywhere known in the system in which we have our existence.

[...] It exists within the physical matter of the organism during existence within the physical system. While the experiences which form this framework and compose this individual’s identity are obtained through his interaction with the physical system, his electromagnetic identity is not dependent upon the physical field.

During his life within the physical system attractions with it are of course maintained. [...]

It goes without saying that there are electromagnetic connections between the ego and the subconscious, within the physical system. [...]

[...] The electromagnetic identity of any given individual contains the past identity systems, again in coded form. [...]

I am aware of you in many ways through Ruburt’s nervous system. [...]

[...] This involves a narrowing of focus on my part, and the use of Ruburt’s nervous system.

[...] The nervous system control… As you see there are large changes, and we are using our energy in a different manner and I can come through to you in this way myself in a more recognizable fashion.

In the development of this state we can, and of necessity will probably end up with changes in the physical face because it is the memory, the memory (head up briefly, up facing toward the ceiling), of another nervous system that here begins to gain prominence, and it is difficult. [...]

[...] It is a healthy condition of almost complete relaxation, signifying the release of his physical system from the mental hold of fear that has made it comparatively rigid up until now.

[...] The system was too wound up to be allowed sudden complete relaxation.

You say that an action has begun when it enters your system. You say that an action is completed when it passes beyond your system. [...] Yet even the action as it occurs within your system is constantly changing in the ways which we have described, and this changing in itself implies infinities of beginnings and endings within action itself, with no ending, a real or permanent ending, and no beginning, a real beginning out of nothing. [...]

[...] You are only aware of a small part of action, that portion which is materialized within your system.

Again here, when I speak in terms of before and after, I speak only for your convenience, for there is no before or after, only all action within the spacious present, occurring out of itself, spontaneously, into all directions, and forming of itself all the infinite fields and systems of actuality.

It is because you have yourselves reached a certain point in your own development that I speak to you tonight, and when I do so I am between systems. [...] I am using Ruburt’s nervous system, for example, but I am not Ruburt. [...]

[...] Any speech within your system and expression must be tinged and must be somewhat distorted in order to make sense to you. [...]

Your idea of reality will indeed begin to change and you must learn to manipulate within the new system as you learn of it for the old rules will no longer apply. [...]

While certain stages are occurring there may be an uneven quality, but not necessarily, where he walks much better one day and not another, until the entire system is aligned, when of course the improvements will be held. This simply has to do with various muscular systems. [...]

[...] The amount of release varies according to the given muscle system and its interaction with others. [...]

[...] His system does not need that white sugar, and yours would be better off without so much of it.

The physical alteration was a strain on the entire system. [...] The built-in inhibition resulted in a tied-up system of mutual controls in which the necessary thrusting-out of action became literally impossible.

[...] Now psychologically you can see vestiges of this in certain individuals, who will faint, or even attack their own physical system, before allowing themselves to do what they think of as violence to another.

Now: Energy must be allowed to flow freely through the physical system, controlled and directed mentally, or psychically if you prefer.

[...] Some, after physical death, left to join those from the previous successful civilization, who had migrated to other planetary systems within the physical structure.

[...] The body has its own self-regulating system. This is often called the immune system.

If people become ill, it is quite fashionable to say that the immunity system (Seth’s pronunciation) has temporarily failed — yet the body itself knows that certain “dis-eases” are healthy reactions. [...]

[...] Prentice-Hall is, of course, well-intentioned, and under their belief system it is nearly sacrilegious to be anything more than officially disapproving of medical matters. [...] To attack medical corruption, or medical errors, or particular clinics, for example, is within bounds, but to attack the belief system of the entire structure is something else again.

[...]

[...] The implications are there, but your belief systems must be allowed to mellow and change in the light of new knowledge, rather than to be booted aside with an angry foot.

(Pause at 9:42.) That is why belief systems are so important in dealing with health and illness. Each of the systems uses paraphernalia — gestures, medicine, treatment — that are the exterior manifestations of beliefs shared by healer and patient alike.

This is an excellent example of the way in which natural hypnotism can act to affect your system adversely. [...]

[...] Not only do you operate within your own personal beliefs, of course, but within a mass system to which you subscribe to one degree or another. [...]

[...] This is the worst kind of natural hypnosis, and yet within your system insurance is indeed a necessity, because the belief in illness so pervades your mental atmosphere.

I must have a thorough knowledge of the particular system of reality in which my pupil operates, of his or her system of thought, of the symbols that are meaningful. [...]

(Pause at 10:51.) The problems vary according to the system in which my pupil has his or her existence. In your system, for example, and in connection with the woman through whom I now write this book, initial contact on my part was made long before our sessions began.

[...] While within the systems in which I work there are certain basic similarities, in some dimensions I would not be equipped to be a teacher simply because the basic concepts of experience would be alien to my nature, and the learning processes themselves outside of my own experience.

Now: Dictation … Each probability system has its own set of “blueprints,” clearly defining its freedoms and boundaries, and setting forth the most favorable structures capable of fulfillment.

These are not “inner images of perfection,” and to some extent the blueprints² themselves change, for the action within any given system of probabilities automatically alters the entire picture, enlarging it. [...]

As an individual you carry within you such a blueprint, then; it contains all the information you require to bring about the most favorable version of yourself in the probable system that you know. [...]

[...] When Jane finished with certain challenges, Seth remarked, “… there will be a ‘birth’ of seemingly new concepts, simply because his [Jane’s] old mental barriers kept him from making certain important connections, and an increasing system of communication between waking and dreaming states.”

The spacious present and the inverted time system deal with the insides of the sphere.

[...] They will take us a bit away from our main lines of discussion, and they have to do with communication between essence personalities and those still within the physical system.

[...] When the communicator is still strongly tied emotionally to your own system, and when he is still acclimating himself to his new conditions, then his communications will be extremely garbled, as a rule.

His control over the nervous system of the person through whom he communicates will be faulty and erratic. [...]

This was the result of my attempt to give the voice an independence, to form sound within your physical system without working through Ruburt’s vocal cords, but to impress your physical system kinetically.

[...] This is obviously impossible, but in the attempt egotistical identity is helped in its efforts to maintain a more or less closed system of perceptions.

It should be clearly understood that the physical system with its physical objects are, the objects are, composed from the electromagnetic realities behind them.

[...] That is, I affected the physical system but only a small portion of it, but then directed the effect purposefully in one direction.

[...] This system of probabilities is quite as real and actual as the system with which you are familiar, and you exist in it whether or not you realize it.

[...] The individual within your system—and this is quite simplified—an individual finds himself with a choice of three actions. [...] The other two actions are experienced however, but not within the physical system. [...]

[...] For the vibrations and frequencies which are received in order to make our communications possible, are also most beneficial in themselves to the human and psychic system.

The self enclosed within the physical system is indeed only a small portion of the whole self. [...]

Nor do I think that establishment science will soon be interested in Seth’s ideas that exchanges take place involving our genetic systems, the environment, and cultural events like politics and economics; or that our genetic systems react to our thoughts and emotions—let alone that there’s any genetic planning for future probabilities! [...]

[...] The genetic system² is not closed, therefore. The genes do not simply hold information without any reference to the body’s living system. [...]

Particularly in your own species there is a great give-and-take between human genetic systems, the environment, and cultural events—and by cultural events I mean events having to do with your peculiarly unique field of activity that includes the worlds of politics, economics, and so forth.

[...] I have said before that in one way or another each living cell is united with each other living cell through a system of inner communication. [...]

Now: Framework 2’s communications system is set into motion as a primary rather than as a backup system of communications. When you learn to cut through the static—if you trust the system of communication—this is how it works. [...]

Now: When you concentrate mainly (underlined) in Framework 1 and its communications with Prentice, then while overall you do achieve results of a beneficial nature—the publication and distribution of the books in a largely adequate form—there are glaring discrepancies also: entanglements that you do not like because you have taken your intent from Framework 2, where the creative event began, and placed it into Framework 1’s communication system almost entirely. Obviously you need Framework 1, with its letters, telephone calls, and so forth—but Framework 1’s communication system, while physically handy, also is somewhat like a very poor telephone connection, with static at both ends. [...]

[...] Framework 2’s communication system is at once simpler and more complex that Framework 1’s. Just as, say, your intent to paint a picture automatically has your fingers all moving in the proper directions, and your body manipulating properly, so that the desired painting results, so in a larger fashion your clear intent is communicated to each of the people involved—at a level without static—yours or theirs. [...]

[...] Many of these involve systems in which life and death as you know it does not occur, where time is felt as weight; systems in which the root assumptions are so different from your own that you would only accept any experiences as fantasy.

The material available, however, represents building blocks for many probable systems. [...]

[...] It is a meeting ground in which personalities from any time or place or probable system can communicate with each other in clear terms understood by all.

[...] In the next level, for example, communication is possible with various kinds of consciousness that have never been physically manifested, in your terms — personalities who do not have a physical reality in either your present or future, yet who are connected with your system of reality both as guardians and custodians.
