“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane said the teacher’s face was very red with anger, and that it was obvious he had a strong temper. Later that day she overheard two of her students talking, and they discussed the teacher’s bad temper, it being a well-known fact in the school. Jane discussed the incident with me the day it happened. It had made quite an impression on her, and of course took her by surprise.

(Two male teachers and a female were involved with Jane while she sought work as a teacher—Mr. Don Hennigen and Mr. Albert Ryerson. Jane cannot now recall the name of the female supervisor, whom she met but once, but doesn’t think the initials tally. Others could be involved here—as on page 148.

(The 75th envelope experiment used as object the employee record stub from Jane’s first check as a substitute high school teacher. Jane had of course seen it several times since receipt on October 28. The object is printed in black on green paper which contains a faint pattern. The green is itself a light tint. The large numeral in the upper right corner is in red. The back is blank. I placed the record between the usual double Bristols, then sealed it in double envelopes.

(Jane has called up the school board and taken her name off the list of teachers on call for substitute duty. Today, October 31.)

[...] (Pause.) Now when you watch, say, educational TV, you see the teacher, and he speaks. [...] But the teacher exists whether or not he is speaking at that time, in your terms, and his message is as legitimate. [...] I must come through much more clearly, and you have here the essence of the teacher.

The teacher transforms the TV screen until the TV screen becomes momentarily the teacher. [...]

The teacher is within the tape. [...]

I use certain facets of my personality, for they are helpful as a teacher. [...]

Such a teacher must be able to instruct various portions of one entity, in your terms, at the same time. [...] A teacher would simultaneously be in contact with these various personalities, communicating with them in terms that they could understand. [...]

[...] The process of learning such information necessarily adds to the development and abilities of the teacher. [...] The vocation, for it is a vocation, leads such a teacher even into other realms of reality than those he previously knew existed.

[...] There are those who combine the qualities of teacher, creator, and healer. [...]

[...] Now when you turn on your miraculous contrivance and you see the teacher on the screen, that does not mean that at that moment, the teacher is on the screen. [...] The teacher is quite legitimate but he is not there when you see him. [...]

[...] Remember also that I have one main role, and that role is that of a teacher. [...]

[...] Now this does not mean that I am not present in such sessions, anymore than it does not mean that the information you are given by the teacher, on the screen, is not legitimate. [...]

Now when your teacher appears on the TV screen, he is not aware consciously of himself within the image that you see. [...]

[...] Do not go running from teacher to teacher. All they know, teachers, is how to look inward. [...]

[...] To the intimate knowledge of the earth from which now, at least, you spring and to which the seed seems to return, for you have chosen a good teacher, the earth that you have created. [...]

Now there are some matters that in the great profundity of my nature even I do not have an answer to, and that is a question that we will have to refer to greater teachers than I.

[...] I am a teacher, and because I am a teacher I love to teach. [...] A true teacher allows you to learn from yourself. [...]

(A few days later, before a class which contained Marian’s daughter, the same teacher burst into tears without apparent cause, and fled the room. [...] Shortly afterward, while working at home, Marian felt what she called a compulsive urge to telephone this teacher and make peace with her; Marian found herself picking up the telephone before she realized what she was doing. She talked with the teacher for half an hour, and the two women made their peace. Marian had felt she had hurt the teacher unduly, and had no wish to do this. [...] Four days after this, the teacher dropped dead.

(Marian and her husband went to school to see the teacher, a middle-aged woman. The teacher was much embarrassed, appeared to be very upset, and finally said she thought the daughter had copied the paper from other sources. [...]

[...] To their surprise the English teacher marked the paper with a D minus.

[...] Subconsciously the teacher realized that she was about to die, and communicated this realization to Ruburt’s friend, who is indeed, as I have said before, an excellent receiver.

[...] So today I shall call up and make an appointment immediately as a teacher and I shall pretend with all my might that I am an excellent teacher. And today I shall be a teacher as no teacher ever was! [...]

([Brad:] “Assuming that I wish to be a teacher, can I create that reality by simply desiring it?”)

[...] Now, as a teacher, you must be able to sense the reality of others and in teaching relate the self that you are to the selves you sense they are, independently of you and therefore give their integrity full freedom. [...]

[...] With a teacher who was Miss L... [...]

(“I had a grade-school teacher in Sayre, named Miss Lennon.”

[...] Upon reflection, and without checking records, I believe Miss Lennon could have been my teacher in junior high school, or perhaps when I was a freshman.)

(At break I told Jane I also had a teacher named Miss Prince, but am unsure now of the grade she taught.

[...] There are guides and teachers in this time of choosing and decision, to point out alternatives and to explain the nature of existence. [...] There are therefore advanced teachers and teachers at “lower” levels.

[...] They may be priests or teachers, for example, almost exclusively.

[...] The teachers, for example, are themselves within a cycle. [...]

[...] Yet you may have a fine afternoon’s discussion centered about old teachers and classmates, and establish a certain rapport.

Now, in my work as a teacher I travel into many dimensions of existence, even as a traveling professor might give lectures in various states or countries. [...]

[...] 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.

[...] Some wanted to know if one of the three Christs could have been the Teacher of Righteousness; this personage was the leader of the Zealot sect in Judaea early in the first century A.D. There were four known Jewish sects flourishing there at the birth of Christianity.

(In the literature I’ve been reading on the subject, the Zealot leader was always called the Teacher of Righteousness. [...]

(“As a matter of curiosity: can you say how the Teacher of Righteousness met his end?” This is one of the questions correspondents have asked.)

[...] They are other personalities all a part of you, and they come from many times and places, in your terms, and there are many teachers and some of those teachers also are other portions of your own personalities. [...]

[...] If you would allow yourselves the freedom to meet, not some great teacher, not to run from teacher to teacher, but if you could meet the vitality within one cell, even one molecule of your body, you would have no need for questions. [...]

You will not find yourself by running from teacher to teacher, from book to book. [...]

[...] You cannot throw the burden of proof upon another, or expect a man or teacher to prove to you the validity of your own existence. [...]

[...] … Now when you watch, say, educational television, you see the teacher, and he speaks. [...] But the teacher exists whether or not he is speaking at that time, and his message is legitimate. [...]

[...] While he is a teacher, he is not basically the stereotyped “spiritual guide” either. [...]

“The teacher is within the tape; the personality is condensed. [...]

[...] The teachers within your system are those who are in their last reincarnation, and other personalities who have left the system but have been assigned to help those still within it. [...]

[...] Your teacher, your immediate teacher, has had strong creative abilities and he was very jealous as to how they should be used. [...]

[...] This was the same class in which I took the church’s stand against evolution to my teacher’s disgust.... [...]

Now, I have been, in many ways, a sly and cunning teacher, for the material is given in such a way that as you read it and use your intellect and intuitions to understand it, you automatically develop both your intuitions and your intellect and expand the nature of your own consciousness, though part of the training of consciousness itself is in the body of the material as it exists. [...] There are many books and there are many teachers and there are many ways. [...]

[...] Ruburt is a teacher in this level of reality, as I am a teacher in another level of reality... [...]
