“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now I would tell you, take one tippy-toe out of your physical time (to Florence)—only one tippytoe, and you will be surprised at the results. If you take the physical time, if you only take 15 minutes a day and make the effort to do so, this will automatically lead on your part to an initiation in the inner self. For the very fact of taking the time will represent a commitment which thus far you have not been willing to make. [...]

It is time to bring the meeting to order because it is time to take most of you to task. [...]

Now, to begin with, you must take the time. [...]

[...] This does not mean, however, that you can expect such good treatment all the time. [...]

(“I’m a professional artist,” I wrote to the scientist, “and at times have been puzzled enough by questions about evolution to consider making my own series of drawings that would show the transformation from reptile to bird, for instance, just to see if I could do it convincingly…. But each time I start visualizing the results, I end up with two notions: First, that as I work with those intermediate forms I’ll become involved with myth and fantasy, rather than ‘fact.’ Just how did reptiles change into birds? [...] Second, the idea of my drawings makes me think that others must have done it already, not once but many times. [...]

[...] You choose your time and focus in physical reality again and again, and the mind holds an inner comprehension of many seemingly mysterious developments involving the species.

Even the c-e-l-l-s (spelled) are free enough of time and space to hold an intimate framework of being within the present, while being surrounded by this greater knowledge of what you think of as the earth’s past. [...]

[...] Imagining some great big-bang theory (to explain the creation of the universe) gives you an immense explosion of energy, that somehow turns into life but must wear out somewhere along the line — and if that were the case, life would be getting weaker all the time, but it is not. [...]

(Jane has been practicing psychological time regularly, but reports that she has achieved little besides her usual excellent state. She has had no unusual or startling experiences since Seth cut her psy-time periods to 20 minutes, in the 151st session.

(Jane has had some striking clairvoyant and telepathic experiences outside of psy-time, however, and is keeping separate records of these. [...]

[...] Her voice was quiet and she used pauses for the first time in quite a few sessions.)

[...] It is now time for us to do so. [...]

It would be even more difficult to try to handle the information of many lives at one time. In your terms, “it” takes time to think, and you would be so caught up in thinking itself, that action would be impossible. [...]

When reincarnational studies are embarked upon, on occasion people remember some instance of past-life experience, but conventional ideas of time are so strong that so-called future memory is blacked out.

(2:54.) You may therefore be trying out many different kinds of experiences, sometimes endowing yourself with super attributes and strength, relying upon the body’s powers above all other considerations, while at the same time in another life you use and develop unusual mental abilities, enjoying the triumphs of creative thought, while largely ignoring the body’s agility and strength.

[...] There are also, again, highly gifted people, physically or mentally, people who seem to be at times as far from the ordinary person on the gifted scale as an idiot might be [on] the other. [...]

[...] We estimated that at the proper time I’d just quit painting for the morning and was washing my brushes at the bathroom sink—a routine task I perform each day, and one that could leave a portion of my psyche free to engage in other adventures. [...]

[...] A certain portion of your mind was drifting at the time.

This private probability
isn’t half bad
when you consider
the public worlds
we had to travel
to get here:
molecules waiting
in the wings,
looking for
the precise
time-space
to leap into,
tiny strands of
consciousness
reuniting
after centuries,
sorting out ourselves
from a million
other forms
we’ve taken part in—
reassembling
just those we wanted
to call Rob and Jane.

For a time however a conglomeration of beliefs merged, so that he felt that he had to drive himself unremittingly: and this meant, to him, imposing disciplines as given earlier. The fears of time, the early fears that made him want to escape poverty, the feeling that all eggs must be put in one basket, and his reaction to you and your circumstances—these were all connected. [...]

[...] (The Nature of) Personal Reality quite assures your financial situation for some time to come. [...]

At the same time the early beliefs were there, and were mentioned to some extent along with other issues. [...]

[...] This was the one you sold, of the man that hung for some time in the position in which my portrait now hangs. That was a portrait of Joseph; in other words of your own inner identity as you intuitively perceived it at the time. [...]

There are, but since I am not covering those in this book, I will give them to you at another time.

[...] The arrangements “this time” were already made, you see. [...]

[...] I want him to then stress, this week, all of his good points, and as much as possible to ignore for that amount of time the negative ones.

Twice a day for 15 minutes at a time, to take the place of psycho-cybernetics, I want him to dwell upon these positive activities and characteristics. [...]

[...] I will also take time to reconcile two points with which he is having difficulty, and to answer any questions that either of you might have since we have last held a quiet session.

Nine people on a boat this time. [...]

(I wanted more data re the car’s trouble and cure, but wasn’t sure it was a good idea to ask Jane more specific questions at this time. [...]

[...] Not overnight, but in a relatively brief time. [...]

Now you are “around yourself” all of the time. [...]

[...] These result in certain time sequences that can be compared to sentences, written and read from one side, say, to the other.

[...] The psyche does not mark time. [...]

[...] Even if two people encountered precisely the same events in their lives at precisely the same time, their experiences of reality would still hardly be approximately connected.

[...] The time was going fast again. [...]

[...] Even Jane had been chilly at times. [...]

(Jane was getting more upset—here, she said, she’d had no session, no motions, and Paul was coming at supper time. [...]

[...] This time it is not a matter of doing as well as he can with bent arms and legs, but instead the work involves the correction of those difficulties to begin with. [...]

This means that some muscles literally are being released for the first time in years. [...]

[...] His attitude toward Aspects is involved, simply because it is his project at this time. [...]

[...] (I also explained this meaning to Jane at the time.) He took this as an accusation, however, and further concentrated upon his lacks. [...] To some extent there has been a weaving in and out, so that at times Ruburt’s symptoms were personal, and at times they were symbols for both of your attitudes.

Also, to some less extent, and at different times, he would know that the symptoms were a whipping-boy for you both, and so he was afraid at times to dispense with them completely. [...]

[...] It helps bring about Ruburt’s greatest accomplishments, and yet at the same time, overemphasized, it can become a source of failures.

In the back of your minds, your main point of concentration has been “What is wrong with Ruburt?” Now, I gave you this information a while ago, and I have said it in various ways at different times.

Now let our guardian of the portals over there close the door and this time, once again, listen to the chanting and I will not give you any instructions. [...]

This time I want you to listen and I want you to close your eyes and to experience what you feel. [...]

[...] The Wollheim letter was entirely unexpected, no correspondence having passed between Jane and Mr. Wollheim, or business, for a long time.

[...] On Ruburt’s part this time it was additional knowledge. [...]

[...] You ended your illness however not twice as quickly, but three times as quickly, as it would have been otherwise.

If the Wollheim meeting takes place, it will prove highly beneficial to all parties concerned, but at a later date and at a time when it will be highly needed. [...]

[...] At the same time, you consider the intuitive elements rather frightening, as if they can explode to disrupt known patterns, dash — in unknown ways.

Now: In direct opposition to current theories about the past, there was far less sexual specialization, say, in the time of the caveman than now.

[...] There were children of various ages in such a band all the time. [...]

(Intently:) It is the height of idiocy to imagine that because of the time taken in pregnancy, the female could not understand the child’s origin in intercourse. [...]

([Bill:] “At what time of the year?”)

[...] October 12 to 15 is the best time. [...]

[...] At times of course she distinctly said cave.

[...] I’ve seen those deposits change many times.”)

With the exception of the ego, the various parts of the personality do not react to time as a series of moments. [...]

[...] I am interested here with a regeneration of energies at this time. [...]

[...] We have had quite intensive sessions for some time now, and I simply prefer that you are allowed a rest before your trip.

[...] At other times it involves shorter sessions, particularly when I have some eye out for future events. [...]

(This connection is not as remote as it might seem: Jane spent some time in Baltimore before we were married 12 years ago. [...] Both of us have been to Los Angeles, CA, several times, but Jane has not been to San Francisco.

[...] I emphasize strongly once more that the concept of continuity in terms of time is highly erroneous.

[...] Other selves, reincarnated within the physical system as physical creatures, experienced time as you do, as a series of moments strung out one before the other. [...]

I told you at one time that birth was a greater shock than death. [...]

[...] I’d thought I might totally alienate her this time if she fought too hard, but such was not the case. [...] I fed her a few times that afternoon, and succeeded in making friends okay. [...]

[...] She now can take, say, ten steps at a time, leaning on her typing table, instead of the one or two previously possible. [...]

[...] By the time you are an adult, however, you have been taught to disconnect your identity from your feelings as much as possible, and to think of your personhood in terms of your intellectual orientation. [...]

[...] Have him remember that creative activity goes on within him all of the time, and he is often most active precisely when he is not aware of it. [...]
