“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I’d say that to some extent at least its content flows from the proposed interview with a reporter from The Village Voice, a contact made with the business manager at WELM in town, and so forth—hardly accidental, we think, that these events connected with publicity, her work, etc., come into our awareness at this time. [...]

[...] Then the impulses might change overnight, leading to a more sociable time.

[...] The soreness that he experiences at times is a physical result of mental ideas, generally, that it will hurt to face the world, for example, and this new knowledge of impulses, and of his feelings, should help there. [...]

[...] We can, when time permits, have a short session on him, as apart from the book. [...]

(“Any time.”)

[...] You can tell the position of the other actors for example, or time by clock, but these physical senses will not tell you that time is itself a camouflage, or that consciousness forms the other actors, or that realities that you cannot see exist over and beyond the physical matter that is so apparent.

[...] Jane’s trance had been deeper this time. “I know I wasn’t in as deep the first time,” she said, “because I heard that siren.” [...]

Your real environment is innocent of space and time as you know them. [...]

(The idea in using the same object a second time in succession was to see whether Seth would come up with the same, or similar, impressions, both times. Seth does deal with some of the same impressions in both experiments, using different language each time, and this will be indicated where we think it occurred.

[...] It manipulates in a larger number of dimensions, until it is able you see to handle many, not just one, of its own egos at any given “time”—and you may put time in quotes—while still maintaining its own inner stability and individuality. [...]

(This is the first time during the envelope experiments that the same object was used twice in succession. [...]

(This noon our friend Jim Beckett visited us for the first time in some months. [...]

[...] The girl reminded you, through some association, with Emma Martin of that time.

[...] At that time you accepted it, however, along with your conception of what it was to be a male. [...]

Yoga and psy-time helped reduce the symptoms temporarily, but by last week, the stiffness was so bad that my entire shoulder was grinding like jammed sandpaper. [...]

[...] The lumps — called calcium lumps by my doctor — were still there under the skin, but I could move my shoulder with no difficulty for the first time in months. [...]

(And here Seth explains something that many people often wonder about: If illness is detrimental and we know it, then why does poor health linger at times?)

(7:20.) It is impossible in our time scheme to intellectually know our own potentials without trying them out, without testing them against the world’s edges. We must activate our impulses and desires, try out our abilities, seek out our strengths by joyfully advancing into the given world of physical energy, physical time and space. [...]

[...] The whole creative intimacy of our hill house was one that we’d enjoyed many times; we desperately wanted to return to that same ambience many more times.

[...] I knew at once that the tape’s contents were so revealing of her feelings about her illness, so disturbing and frightening, that she couldn’t bring herself to explore those deep emotions at that time. [...]

(We had a heavy rain at times last night and this morning.)

[...] On the other hand, usually such episodes are highly reassuring, for along with them rides the inner assurance that life has been lived before, many times.

[...] The rainfall was so dense at times that I could hardly see where I was going. [...]

(Jane was very relaxed as session time approached; she had been for quite a while. [...]

[...] I want to point out the efficiency of faith when you feel it, so take advantage of those moments when you feel faith strong in yourself, for at such times you connect with Framework 2 most securely.

[...] You have heard of time pills. [...]

Over a period of time, then, certain portions of the body will habitually respond in any given overall positive or negative way. [...]

[...] Your knowing also changes the picture, and sometimes could bring into the present elements that would be accepted wholeheartedly months hence, after the development, but not at the point of your knowing ahead of time.

[...] I also know more specifically in your terms the time schedule of Ruburt’s recovery, and important developments regarding it. [...]

[...] To our knowledge, this explanation is original with the Seth Material To say the least, the supposition that we actually create matter gives rise to all kinds of questions, and Rob and I have considered many of them at one time or another. [...]

[...] The actual material that seems to make up the object has completely disappeared many times, and the pattern has been completely filled again with new matter. [...]

[...] At that time I still paced the room as I spoke for Seth, my eyes open with the pupils dark and dilated. [...]

[...] The folded note shown below the object is my own, made at the time I discovered Leonard’s note stuck in our door on Sunday morning. [...]

(My own note, bearing the time and date, shown at the bottom of page 319, was clipped to the envelope object. [...]

[...] They may be necessary at one time or another, but they can never be primary realities. [...]

[...] None of us knew of any such meeting at the time of my above dream of September 24, simply because the meeting had not been scheduled yet, or indeed even thought of. And I must admit that such was the involvement in the problem at hand when the family did convene on October 4, that I completely forgot the dreams at the time, never realizing that I had dreamed of a family get-together 10 days before it took place. [...]

[...] At 9:12 she began to dictate in a rather normal voice, although as the session progressed her voice gathered quite a bit of volume at times. [...]

[...] I did nevertheless tell you that he had been an artist at one time, did I not?

(On Friday, October 28, I [Jane] saw Peg for the first time since her return, and went over the Seth notes. [...]

(A note by RFB: Jane’s punctuation in her copies of Seth’s Gallagher materials varies at times from the originals—but only in small ways, and not at all in content.)

Dictation: (Time, 4:00–4:15 p.m. Revised July 19)

and knowledge and time.

[...] So those of you who speak on my behalf, let there be times of boisterous activity. [...] Let there even be time for discord if that is what is needed, but never, and I know you would not, never impose an artificial ceiling of peace. [...]

[...] Highly impractical, it seems at this time. [...] And so now records are being broken all the time. [...]

[...] Sexuality in your time means what is American. [...]

[...] I told her, several times, not to go back into the experience as I asked questions. [...] Each time we discussed this point, it seemed to lead automatically to more questions, and so the interview after the experience continued as represented in these notes.

(The notes will ramble somewhat; to save time little effort will be made to condense them or make them strictly chronological. [...]

[...] She said perhaps, then reminded me she had suggested going out earlier—a suggestion I now remembered but hadn’t heeded at the time. [...]

[...] Some such data will be utilized time and time again. [...]

[...] We had always thought we’d get the answers when we took the time for them.)

[...] Data, valid data, which is not materialized as physical form, at any given time still exists as potential physical form. [...]

[...] You either take the time and the effort to look into yourself or you do not. If you take the time and the effort, then I tell you, Jesuit, you will have no terrors of the flesh. While you do not take the time you must put up with it, and depend on your doctors...

(Seth also said that Jane and I would die within a short time of each other, when our earthly work was finished. [...]

[...] That you do not take the time and the effort is the reason why you still have the symptoms. [...]

[...] (A point with which I can disagree.) Now you are dealing, through your creative endeavors, aside even from the psychic work, with highly subjective material; many people are completely unaware for great periods of time of their own mental and emotional states. [...]

[...] Such personalities are in much more immediate connections with their own moods, feelings, the interior climate of their being at any given time.
