“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Give us time as always with this kind of session.

[...] He thought previously that Eleanor and Dick would be a means, and there was a period from the time when you met them, until now, when for him everything was critical. [...]

[...] He is learning indeed the use of a different kind of inspirational time, which conflicts with his old ideas of so many hours.

Now give us time. [...]

[...] Remind him, for the 100th time, that he can trust his inner self implicitly, and does not need to set up guards against its spontaneity, for spontaneity is his life, and the source of his creativity; and underline that sentence.

[...] His period is on time again.

(My thinking at this time is that when we allow ourselves expression freely—painful as it may be at times—and live in ways that are in keeping with our natures and abilities, we will achieve that necessary and vital balance that automatically results in creative work, health, whatever material success we require, etc.

[...] For his own benefit and mine, two or three times a week he should sit down and write out his feelings, as he began to do last summer. [...]

(9:15.) He felt for some time that you were intrigued by the spontaneous parts of his personality, as long as they could be controlled, kept proper and in their place. [...]

(I don’t. This hasn’t really been a point with me, although at times I would get mad at Artistic for at least not offering me something more. At the same time I told myself the low pay prevented me from ever deciding to make a career of it there, and let it go at that.)

[...] So the true love and compassion goes crying, while you are forced to express an exterior love and compassion many times.

[...] (Jane told me about some of them at the time; which I thought an advancement.) He was scandalized and outraged. [...]

If you examine your thoughts for five minutes at various times during the day for several times a month, you will indeed receive a correct impression of the kind of life you have so far arranged for yourself in the next existence. [...]

Now: Some individuals are being reborn at this time simply to help you understand. They are forcing the issue, and forcing the crisis, for you still have time to change your ways. [...]

[...] It is true that in between lives there is “time” for understanding and contemplation.

[...] “But now I don’t know what to do,” she said several times, looking quite bewildered. “I’m getting it so fast mentally, in Sumari, that I don’t have time to write it down — let alone do it in English — before I go into the next concept….

[...] Usually she doesn’t attempt to translate a work in Sumari until some time later. [...]

(“At the same time, I’m living these ideas. [...]

[...] For no matter which brain rhythm may predominate at any time, that state is certainly an altered one in relation to the other three. [...]

[...] Nor at this time, given the minimum premise that Jane’s speaking for Seth constitutes any indication of “paranormal” activity, do we think that her performance could be identified as such per se on the graphs of her brain waves. [...]

[...] They seem to be the official pulses of your civilization, giving precedence to official reality, but you have little idea that the psyche is inherently able to seek its conscious experience from all of the known ranges, according to the kind of experience chosen at any given “time.”

[...] I sold it for $30.00 to an older man who returned to my outside wall, where I had my work hung several times before he decided to buy it. [...]

[...] She was assigned to her room today, though, and this morning as she began working with Jane she commented several times of the marked improvement in Jane’s ability to move, and the rate at which her decubiti are healing. [...]

(On the negative side, staff still has trouble at times irrigating the catheter—but as soon as Jane starts drinking more, the urine clears up, and so do the muscle spasms. [...]

The acknowledgment of such impulses in the procedure just given will automatically help build Ruburt’s trust in himself, and it is a good idea for him to note such impulses, for later on certain occasions he will be able to see how such and such an impulse, followed on its own, led him to such and such a beneficial event—an event that at the time was completely invisible or unforeseen.

4. The next way is to make a definite attempt, again, to live in the present, or at least to live one day at a time. [...]

[...] He thought ahead of time that the size of the large window would more than compensate, but he carries some of his grandfather’s old ideas that the wind should be able to blow through a room so he has been uncomfortable there. [...]

(All during this time, October–November, we’ve also been involved in a series of hassles with the foreign publishers Ankh-Hermes and Ariston. [...] As I’ve said to Jane more than once, “I wonder what we ought to know that Tam hasn’t told us”—meaning of course that every time a hassle develops with Prentice-Hall we find out a new batch of information that Tam has known all along but never relayed to us. [...]

(The little I’ve worked with the pendulum tells me my troubles are rooted in money attitudes, as well as the production time I’ve lost on Mass Events for the last two weeks and more. [...] I would go back to painting, try to sell some, and possibly end up with a part-time job for ready money—anything to break the vicious mental pattern of distrust I seem to keep creating. [...]

[...] The worst part of the whole thing was that I developed urinary difficulties during the malaise: urination became very painful indeed, and I had a strong sense of blockage and impairment at times. [...]

[...] As she sat at the sink she began to get more dream material, this time from Seth. [...]

[...] Her dictation was a little fast, so that I scribbled notes at times. [...]

[...] Nor did we want to wait for science or psychology to explain dreams, since here we were having them all of the time. [...]

[...] Helen told us she has dreamed of her husband many times, but felt this particular experience was something other than a dream; she stressed its clarity, its reassurance and simplicity.

She is balanced on a thin line of normalcy at this time. [...]

[...] These operate quite as effectively through distance; and for that matter, though less often, through time.

[...] You will find yourself, for example, looking through many of these windows at the same time. [...]

[...] You can experience them only one at a time, although they exist simultaneously. [...]

[...] Then you can learn to have both open at the same time. [...]

[...] The music at times was literally deafening in volume, combined as it was with a large choir and a jazz band. [...]

[...] I have experienced it frequently during psychological time since then. [...]

(Jane also felt strong thrilling sensations at the jazz mass, saying they were like the sensations she attains during psy-time, that she calls her good state, and occasionally ecstasy.

(During the night Jane has also more or less settled into a routine of laying down for a couple of hours, then sitting in her chair for an equal time, and even sleeping in it, then going back to bed. [...] I usually get up at least three, and usually four, times during the night to help her change from chair to bed to chair, etc.)

(She said this, as she has several times lately, after supper tonight. [...]

[...] Lately I’ve more or less given up bugging her to have sessions, since it seemed that that activity was beyond her means at this time. [...]

(She wasn’t too clear as to what she was panicky about, but as we talked I began to understand that she was re-experiencing the same round of fears that she had many times in the past, and that many of these private sessions have been devoted to over the years: her mother, her need for love, her fears of abandonment, the conflicts involving success and the psychic work, our relationship, and so forth, if anything’s left. [...]

(I did dwell upon the fact that Seth—and Jane—have yet to go into the main question I’ve asked several times since she came home from the hospital: the current attitude and role of her sinful self. [...]

In one way or another the material has indeed been given in our deleted books—but the organization of that material has often followed instead the situation that was at hand at any given time. [...]

[...] And I should tell you that I have deep sympathy—but your time is not my time. [...] And yet those issues that might bring me to you in a session, have nothing to do with time as you consider it. [...]

[...] And remember also that even these characteristics of mine are put on again as a garment that was at one time discarded. [...]

But they are the characteristics in your terms that were mine a long time ago, and I don them again as an old garment that is familiar and dear. [...]

[...] Your body is your method of perception at this time, but I am telling you that if you identify your entire reality with your body then you are heading for severe feelings of depression and desolation and also letting yourself in for some surprises in the future. [...]

[...] This will also inhibit you at the time of death for to the extent that you hold them, your emotions will cling to the flesh when instead you should be free of it. [...]

Now the future, in your terms, to that extent affected the present but this is something that you all do all of the time. [...]

[...] For the first time in several years, the session was held in our bedroom.)

[...] Less emotion should be felt at each time. [...]

[...] At one time he equated you with Walt in his dreams. [...]

[...] I told none of this to Jane at the time. [...]

[...] I had felt for some time now that Jane entertained fears of this kind, and that they must be resolved.

[...] What counts is her reaction to it, and the symptoms, as far as I can tell at this time, are all too clear a sign of her reaction to it—at least an important part of her is reacting this way.
