“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It does not bother you one whit that the physical substance of your body is made up of completely different atoms and molecules than it was composed of seven years ago, [say], or that your familiar hands are actually innocent of any smallest smidgen of matter that composed them [even in recent times past].

[...] This time he jumped up into her lap, then positioned himself with his forelegs against her chest while examining her face. [...]

[...] No one perceives the same chair [all of the time], though perhaps a given chair will seem to be “the same one” seen from different angles.

[...] Conscious comprehension need not follow, for many people know such things, and pretend not to know them at the same time.

In dreams you can recognize yourself even though the usual space and time references may be quite different than the ones with which you are familiar in the waking state. [...]

You might find yourself in a completely different body, or in a different time, or of course in a different perspective of relationships—but you are your own reference point. [...]

I referred to that, I thought, in my preliminary statement about time references—that you recognize yourself in a dream even if the other references do not agree with known reality. [...]

[...] She said that she wanted “to do book stuff, but I’m spending all my time trying to find out about my health.” [...]

(We had the window open and the curtains pulled shut against a bright sun as session time approached. [...]

[...] You are actually a vital force, existing as a part of your environment, and yet apart from your environment at the same time.

[...] This seems to be a fact, so that you find yourself blaming yourself at times. [...]

[...] Again, it is difficult to say what I want to while still trying to avoid contradictions at your end—and yet it seldom occurs to you that you might just possibly be doing exactly what you were meant to do, or that you are in exactly the right place and time and circumstances.

(10:32.) Your young man, your visitor, does indeed suffer torments because he is so thoroughly convinced he is in the wrong place at the wrong time, and all of his unfortunate experiences follow that conviction, which so far he has refused to give up. [...]

It should not upset him unduly then if it seems to him that he makes “the wrong decision” at any given time, for the process of becoming aware of the impulses is now the important issue, and then to decide between them. [...] At the same time an inhibited impulse arose—to go to the bathroom—that he had ignored. [...]

[...] Recommendations: one half-hour a day, at any time, should be allowed specifically for clear physical activity, where that impulse is encouraged, and where there is no conflict. [...]

[...] He likes a change of pace, alterations in schedule—changing his hours, for example—two or three times a year, works well for him when he allows it.

[...] He forgets his natural contours of mind and spirit when he hassles himself about time or hours, for his particular kind of creativity works in a different fashion. [...]

[...] At the same time he described the object the Gallaghers were focusing upon in their home outside of Elmira at session time. [...]

[...] Seth confirmed that at that time he had almost come through, and Jane later told me she had been aware of this, without feeling impelled to have a session.

[...] Seth quite emphatically reminded us that most of the time he “kept his feet on dry land,” but he did talk about a few voyages he made. [...]

[...] I sit in on all your sessions and I am deeply amused at times, but always pleased. [...]

[...] The material which I have given is not given in a jovial manner, even though I speak jovially at times, and for your own development it is imperative that you understand it and apply it. [...]

[...] I cannot see your own camouflaged structures clearly, I cannot perceive time, as it appears to you. [...]

[...] As the material has clearly specified, your own existence continues in probable universes along the lines charted in the inverted time theory. [...]

[...] I shall be listening in to your social chatter, and may make my own comments when I have the time.

[...] This time of very poor circumstances, but of somewhat moral caliber. [...]

[...] At the time I wasn’t sure whether she meant 4,500 or 45,000.)

[...] Jane’s voice had been quite loud throughout, though her pace was rather slow and her eyes were closed most of the time. [...]

Much of what you discussed today was discussed by me a good deal of time ago. (True.) The suggestions I made at that time were not followed. [...]

[...] You, now, did for some time get into the habit of nonsmiling, which led Ruburt to further reinforce his own negative ideas of what you are thinking. [...]

[...] Before you nursed these separately, and felt, both of you, overburdened at times, and misunderstood by the other.

You can break the pattern then at any time. [...]

Now: The Physical Universe as Idea Construction, mentioned by Ruburt in his Introduction, did indeed represent our first formal contact, although Ruburt was not aware of it at that time.

[...] In some cases, the framework itself is used for a final time, with the initial inspired knowledge — the knowledge itself — escaping from the framework and growing out of the context that allowed for its birth.

[...] The energy has been directed, and the individual has had enough time to realize that the accepted frameworks and answers make little sense to him.

[...] “Wow, he sure had me out that time,” she said. [...]

(Smile, eyes open.) Short range predictions would be most difficult for me, since I cannot break down time as you think of it to that degree. I perceive instead at one glance seemingly whole segments of your time field. [...]

[...] This effect still fools me at times, for a sentence will have ended whereas I think Jane has only paused briefly in the midst of one.

[...] Some questions at times may be answered without words, though he will be able to interpret the answers. [...]

My own characteristics are different, yet they will be apparent to you in time.

He decided to trust his body for the first time in his life, and to trust his mind. [...]

The old man changed probabilities, you see, moving into another, and your thought patterns deal with probabilities all the time, at one level, as your c-e-l-l-s (spelled) do at another—so perhaps that will help you see more clearly the connections between health and illness, and the directions that your thoughts take.

There is material in the book that you have not had time to assimilate, but tonight’s session, followed together, will be of great value. [...]

[...] That is, write normal hours without taking time out as today, unless he is hit by inspiration to do so.

[...] Ruburt’s dream, by the way, also signaled him that he is now approaching what the Sumarians used to call “the time of festivals,” or a time of grace. [...]

[...] He is also given at such times immediate physical feedback: he realizes at once that his body is more at ease, more agile, and so forth. [...]

[...] As was characteristic of us, also, we worked by ourselves for a long time as we attempted to learn more about what we were doing. [...]

[...] Like The New York Times, science publishes “all the news that’s fit to print,” meaning all of the news that fits into the officially-accepted view of reality. [...]

[...] At first it may not seem to be giving you the results you expect, but you are working within spacious time. [...]

(I called Upjohn nursing service last Tuesday, noting that starting next Monday we’ll want a nurse at the house only three times a week instead of five. [...]

[...] The box idea (propping up her legs while she’s prone on the bed) is an excellent one, but should be tried very gradually and easily at first, and then gradually expanded in time. [...]

[...] It is taking him time to build up reassurance again after the doctors’ pronouncements. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) I do not mean to appear unconcerned, either, Joseph, about your own inconvenience at such times, or the breaking of the sleep pattern. [...]

(As session time neared I lay my dream notebook on the table, as Seth had suggested we do. Jane began dictating on time, in a voice somewhat stronger than usual. [...]

Friends knowing of our sessions have asked at one time or another that I explain what appeared first in the universe, what started it all, and they ask with such ponderous voices. [...]

It is only according to where you happen to come in this time, so to speak. [...]

(Jane’s voice remained at times quite loud, but her delivery became slower.)

You might recall that I have been giving you the same sort of material for some time now.

[...] Imagine what you will do as you sell so many paintings that you need more time to produce them, and how you will then leave your job in order to paint, and the sort of place you will live, and the feeling of contentment and creative challenge that will fill you.

[...] Two of you working together can do seven times more than one operating alone. [...]

It has taken you some time to understand this in practical terms. [...]

[...] There was one situation in particular that frightened you both—the time that Ruburt ended up on the floor when he picked up the information from your neighbor, Barbara.

[...] This time you had several problems, both of you, to deal with. [...]

All of the time of course these feminine aspects were being used as the intuitive, mystical thresholds of psychic activity. [...]

[...] Reincarnationally this you set ahead of time. [...]
