“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(3:23.) As I said before, the reasons for most physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional problems can be found in this one lifetime, and because of the nature of simultaneous time, new beliefs in the present can also affect those in the past.

[...] Your conventional ideas of time make it simpler, however, to speak of one life as happening before or after another.

[...] In fact, many fetuses explore that element of existence numberless times before deciding to go on still further, and emerge normally from the womb.

There are also perfectly healthy, normal children who have determined ahead of time that they will live only to the threshold of adulthood, happy and flushed with dreams and promises of accomplishment, yet not experiencing any disillusionment or regret or sorrow. [...]

[...] At times his own energy frightens him, and then it seems to abandon him completely. [...]

[...] Any time you see yourself in your mind as unhealthy or staggering, you must immediately wipe the image away and make an effort to see instead a mental image of yourself as healthy and strong.

[...] You both seem to fear that all your time will be consumed, or that you will be at the mercy of others if you give in at all. [...]

[...] To help and resent helping is worse for you than not to help at all, for you are then deprived of time without benefit.

(Pause at 9:34.) The actions that arise out of the chanting—as the circle arrangement of students—these are all deeply buried psychically and psychologically pertinent actions that have been a part of your race from its earliest times. [...] They were ancient the first time the first man chanted, or the first circle was formed.

As you know there are complicated reasons why he began this at this time again. [...]

[...] I add again that your relationship to each other itself is meant to reach certain levels, and when it does it triggers the psychic developments that both of you planned well ahead of time would occur. [...]

[...] You know that it is, but you must think of what noise represents to you, and what it is that you do not want to hear, and why at this particular time you do not want to hear it. [...]

[...] Therefore, when you are doing your little experiments in class other teachings are being given to you at the same time that will allow you to more easily contact your probable selves. [...]

[...] The gods all laugh, they have no time for seriousness. [...]

Then those of you who are adventurous can begin to embark on some night time experiences such as you have never remembered before. [...]

[...] Puberty arrives, so to speak, but the time of its arrival varies according to the needs of the species, its conditions and beliefs. [...] You operate as a reproducing individual, generally speaking, for only a portion of that time.

[...] It seemed to their minds that she was indeed “cursed” during that time (emphatically).

For those literal-minded readers, this does not mean that such activity would predominate at such times. [...]

(This was the first time either of us had specifically noted that Dr. Lodico had his office in a certain building that both of us had driven past many times. [...]

The practice of psychological time will allow you to reach these portions of the self. [...]

[...] Again her pace had been fast, her voice strong; the exception now was that her eyes, very dark, began to open at times.

[...] Her voice was not as loud this time but her delivery had been fast, as though she wanted to give the data without thinking about it. [...]

[...] 3 7 8. This could be time, in connection with an airplane. [...] Or the plane lands at this time and the people are dismissed then.

(“An initiation or something for the first time.” [...] This also makes doing the art something for the “first time,” since I’ve never done this particular kind before. Many years ago, perhaps more than 15, I did other kinds of comic work; that was “serious” comic work.

[...] At one time she was his mother, and she did this with full inner knowledge. [...]

[...] Something takes an inordinate amount of time. [...]

[...] I will never cease to be amused with Ruburt’s little tricks, such as watching the minutes, and I would not at all be surprised, Joseph, to find that he continues in the same hilarious fashion as times goes by. [...]

[...] He has used them well this time, to give himself added discipline, and this is all to the good. [...]

[...] Such a division occurs at various times in history, and is occurring now.

[...] The difference in time is but a camouflage distortion. [...]

[...] At times this effect is quite pronounced, and I can easily sense the immediacy of Seth’s presence.

[...] To others it seems strange that I address her as “Ruburt,” and “him,” but the fact is that I have known her in other times and places, by other names. [...]

As I begin this book it is late January, in your time, 1970. [...]

[...] You are not stuck in time like a fly in a closed bottle, whose wings are therefore useless. [...]

[...] He must fight against his own body, overemphasize its susceptibility to built-in defects, diseases, and against a built-in time bomb, so to speak, when without warning extinction will arrive. [...]

[...] It allows you to perceive certain probabilities within a physical time context. [...]

Tam³ made the decision several times, but early in the game he decided that the book (Sue’s “Conversations With Seth”) should feature illustrations. [...]

(Jane spent more time than usual in bed today, laying down in between her working stints.)

[...] Now your consciousness, quite simply, is not physically alive, physically oriented, for exactly the same amount of time as it is physically alive and oriented. [...]

[...] And so this is the time that you perceive as death. [...]

[...] The fear of death itself can cause such a psychological panic that out of a sense of self-preservation and defense you lower your consciousness so that you are in a state of coma, and you may take some time to recover.

[...] Some will exist and develop their abilities in different systems of reality altogether, and so for a time will remain in this “intermediary” state.

The President at the time, and through all of his life before (pause), was at heart a stern, repressed idealist of a rather conventionally religious kind. [...] He believed in the absolute necessity of power, while convinced at the same time that he did not possess it; and further, he believed that in the most basic terms the individual was powerless to alter the devastating march of evil and corruption that he saw within the country, and in all the other countries of the world. [...]

[...] She described some of them to me, but I didn’t have time to write them down and couldn’t retain them. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Your President at that time, however, had at his command vast information, so that he was aware of many groups and organizations that did not agree with his policies. [...]

[...] “I think it started with Seth, but then I went into another altered state of my own, like the time I got that dream material at the kitchen table — when was that, last March?” [See the 844th session for April 1.]

[...] Jane had no idea of the material for the session before she began speaking, on time. [...]

It is advantageous to take our opportunity when possible at such times. [...]

[...] She now acted as though immune to the traffic noise, and I realized that at times I too had forgotten about it as I wrote along.)

[...] Jane blinked a few times, then came out of her trance. [...]

[...] At one time some years ago, at a writers’ conference, she became involved in circumstances that could have led to her psychic development before she was ready. The psychological climate at that time, of those involved, initiated the conditions, and without realizing what she was about our friend [Jane] went into a trance.

Our experience, however, does not include the time divisions with which you are familiar. [...]

[...] There is no period of time, in your terms, that you can mention, but some of us have been from there, and carry within our memories the indelible experience that was gained in that particular context.

(10:11.) When one has been born and has died many times, expecting extinction with each death, and when this experience is followed by the realization that existence still continues, then a sense of the divine comedy enters in.

[...] Now in matters of personal health, this is bound to add to the uncertainty: you are trying to live your lives according to new rules that are as yet not completely given, so to that extent it is somewhat natural that Ruburt and you become at times uneasy, wonder at times about the personal material, wonder if it is distorted in those areas, or whatever—and there are no known ways to check such material—the material itself is that original. [...]

[...] Yet while trying the library she felt “relaxed and panicky at the same time.” [...]

[...] (Long pause.) He suggests that others follow their own intuitional material, while at the same time holding on to the established frameworks upon which most people depend. [...]

[...] She was also genuinely surprised at the time, it being much later than she thought it was: “I can’t get over it.”)

You must not be concerned with time, yet you must have the faith that in your terms of time Ruburt’s normal walking will come in an immediate rather than distant future.

[...] For the time of his walk that space is empty. [...]

[...] In very ancient times, medicine men had to perform such acts as part of their initiation ceremonies. [...]

[...] In Framework 2, therefore, the nature of each individual actively seeks out its own greatest potential, in the world of Framework 1, practically speaking, in the world where time and space are realities.

(Timothy Foote, senior editor in charge of the book review department for Time Magazine, interviewed Jane and me today in connection with a cover story he is to write about Richard Bach and Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

[...] At the time I thought the brief appearance a little odd, but when it developed that Timothy Foote wouldn’t be staying for supper, as we had planned, Seth’s appearance made good sense.

(Some time later Jane told me she picked up that when Seth spoke Timothy was suspicious—“Seth would speak now, you see, in order to make an impression,” etc.

(A copy of Seth’s answer to Timothy’s daughter will be sent to Timothy, probably after his article about Dick Bach has appeared in Time Magazine. [...]

[...] And as Ruburt told you earlier you were involved with a group before the time of Atlantis and you have been together often. But many times you have been too exclusive in your relationship, again as Ruburt told you. [...]

[...] Now these are things that you will learn, and I am not scolding you, do not look at me like that, or you will make me cry, but it is the only time I have to get a hold of you, and so I want you to understand what I am saying. [...]

[...] There is something that all of you can do, and I have told the class this many times, but you tend to forget it. [...]

[...] First let some energy flow through your own being and feel it refresh you and make you young and strong and vital and know that it resides within you all of the time. [...]

[...] It is the part of you that exists outside of time, yet simultaneously lives in time. [...]

[...] It is a portion of you, however, that deals with the formation of events, that glories in a rather rambunctious and creative activity that your specifications of time and place physically preclude. [...]

[...] He did not thoroughly understand, however, the creative ramifications involved, for it did not occur to him at the time that the prime work of your world was actually done by you in that other wider aspect of your existence.

The idea of the ether, or something like it, had been around since the time of the ancient Greeks. [...]

[...] You do not appreciate your own dream, or your appreciation of it is too remote—and yes, it does contain some reincarnational data, for it shows you a moment in a life when a decision was made, even though the emotional disgust that you felt at the time was separated from you—for the mouse at the time stood not only for itself but also for the victims of war, burned bodies you had seen while soldiers went about the remains to see what loot might be left.

[...] His purpose and his psychological progress have led him to further activations, and as I have said several times, this means that sometimes he will feel like walking, and will do so with a relative amount of balance, and on other occasions, perhaps 20 minutes earlier or later, his walking might be uncomfortable and “worse” in performance.

[...] Now he tries to walk when you are in the kitchen so as not to bother you, but there will be times when he will want to, and can simply call.

[...] Again, she thought the length of the session, or the time involved, had little to do with the quality of the material. [...]
