“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

For the first time Seth really “came through” as a definite other personality, laughing and joking. [...] We had no idea that it was actually a highly simplified explanation, cleverly geared to our own level of understanding at the time. [...]

[...] At the same time, the shape of the skull changed, the hair grew shorter and fit about it much more closely. [...]

[...] At the same time I had the feeling that the face hung forward from the body. [...]

[...] Rob had even touched the hand at one time, and Seth had given us many occasions to check effects as they occurred. [...]

(Jane said she did motions at times during the night and this morning. [...]

(It was time to turn my wife on her left side for half an hour, then take my nap. [...]

I must remind you once more that all time happens simultaneously, so the confused belief about punishment now, in retaliation for past action would actually be meaningless, since in simultaneous time all actions would be occurring at once.

(As I was doing mail today she said she’d put off having sessions lately because she’d picked up from me that I wanted the time off to catch up on other things. [...]

[...] She’s mentioned changes in the hands several times lately. [...] Jane hasn’t moved much at all for a long time. [...]

You and Ruburt have had the feeling many times — but what we are trying to do is change over completely from one mode of operation to another, and to construct, say, new inner blocks of meaning that will give rise to the next era.

[...] Because our mental habits automatically block out such material, we only recognize one series of neurological happenings — it takes time for the message to leap the nerve endings [the synapses]. [...]

“I almost feel that if you asked me at any time of the day, ‘Jane, what are you getting now?’ that I could tune into any of these areas of information, and tell you … As the messages leap the nerve ends they form certain pulses; we recognize these as messages and ignore all the others. [...]

[...] It takes physical time and great physical energy to deliver all of that material …)

[...] The population seems to have been no more than 13,000 at the time, at a peak period, and yet for a long time the population was but 3,000. [...]

[...] I can at times impress your physical reality, but the focus of my existence no longer involves a three-dimensional psychological structure. [...]

[...] There was no friendship developing however, nor any time for one. [...]

[...] Time simply does not exist as a series of moments. [...]

[...] For the second time I heard a gentle scratching-rapping at our front screen door. [...]

[...] Their understanding goes so far at this time. [...]

[...] Before the session I’d torn a page from the New York Times for June 22, 1977. [...]

[...] At the same time I was thinking over Seth’s material in this session so far. [...]

[...] The old man also stands for Ruburt’s father, as Ruburt thought of him bumming around, frittering away his time and energy, so he was stealing from the pot. [...] (Pause.) The old man also stood for old man time in the dream, and reinstated the fact that an executor is important, for the old man also stood for —in the dream, now—Ruburt’s father acting as his own executor—meaning that his nature led him to leave ends loose.

[...] You felt Ruburt was being too “practical,” and would put up with almost anything, and he felt that you were being too impractical at times.

[...] The odd mechanism represents the mechanics of the law, which his father used poorly, and in fact he died before he had time to make the contraption mentioned in the dream.

[...] At that time, Ruburt saw Pat, who is a teacher, and was traveling through belief systems with the greatest of ease, converting to Judaism and then out of it, and so forth. [...]

[...] As each cell of your body has its position within your corporeal space and boundaries, so each self within the entity is aware of its own “time” and dimension of activity. [...]

In still other terms and at different levels this lapse occurs — this moment of reflection extends itself — as the self leaps clear of physical form (even as the cell at one time deserts the body).

[...] Consciously, because of your time concepts, you will interpret those simultaneous lives in reincarnational terms, one seemingly before the other.

[...] (Pause.) Because the body exists in space and time, the organs have specific purposes. [...]

[...] The period of ease had begun this afternoon, and was still in effect at session time. [...] Jane now gets over to the breakfast table in perhaps half the time it took her when we began this series of sessions....)

[...] There is no doubt of the many improvements, made up of a series of inner improvements that do not show as yet, except as the time element presents itself—i.e., he gets over here (apartment 5) quicker and easier.

[...] Care is being taken that the release is fairly well balanced, but at the same time one joint may be more released than another in a given moment, causing the feelings of unfamiliarity.

[...] At the same time you admired Ruburt’s spontaneity. [...]

[...] I have to get into it in a certain deliberate way that I didn’t have to for the others [Seth Speaks and Personal Reality].” Jane snapped her fingers several times. “In ESP class Seth comes through trigger fast, like he did all those times last night. [...]

This — apart from corporal living — continues of course while you are a creature in space and time. [...]

[...] If the same amount of time were spent to learn a different kind of science, you could indeed discover far more about the known and unknown realities. [...]

[...] There, from another viewpoint, you can see it even more clearly, holding it like a photograph in your hands; at the same time you can see from that broader perspective that you do indeed also stand outside of the dream context, but in a “within” that cannot show in the snapshot because of its limitations.

[...] It knows ahead of time then the biological, spiritual, and social environment into which it is born. [...]

A great artist in any field or in any time instinctively feels a private personhood that is greater than the particular sexual identity. [...]

Now: In some historical periods it was desirable in practical terms that a man have many wives, so that if he died in battle his seed might be planted in many wombs — particularly in times when diseases struck men and women down often in young adulthood.

[...] In times of overpopulation, so-called homosexual and lesbian tendencies come to the surface — but also there is the tendency to express love in other than physical ways, and the emergence of large social issues and challenges into which men and women can throw their energies. [...]

[...] She enjoyed the personal interactions most of the time, and often spent a half hour or so trying to help someone in that way. But finally she reached the point where there just wasn’t enough time for her to answer the telephone that often and get her own work done too.)

The natural structures of the earth are formed as the result of the biological cooperation of all species, and consciousness itself is independent of any of the forms that it may at one time or another assume.

[...] The animals in particular realize this because they organize time differently from you. [...]

Cities, therefore, existed in dreams before the time of tribes. [...]

[...] I also suggest that during our vacation you take your own time, extra time, for reading. [...]

[...] We would merely like to note here the appearance of an article in the New York Times for December 5,1965. [...]

Within a fairly decent amount of time, Ruburt and I will be able to work hand in hand, so that our own separate perceptions will build up together, to a more or less precise picture of the object involved. [...]

(Seth was giving general reincarnational data on my family and on Jane’s as early as the 9th session, while avoiding such things as times of death, etc. [...]

(It was now time for the 65th Dr. Instream experiment. [...] Jane hesitated for a moment, saying that Seth was waiting for “just the right time” to contact Dr. Instream. [...]

[...] This is the first time they have done so during such an experiment.) A picture of some kind—an image of another man, rather than the thing itself.

[...] Jane moved almost constantly while posing unwittingly, and I had to work very rapidly while at the same time being careful she didn’t look up at the studio windows on the second floor and see what I was doing.

[...] At the time I made the drawing I wondered if Jane would sense the fact even though she didn’t see me. [...]

[...] And as your physical eras of time may be deduced through studying the physical fossilized layers of rock, so can the time and place of past lives be deduced through studying the layers of the subconscious.

[...] Jane began dictation on time; her delivery was slow at first, then speeded up; her pacing was slow also, her eyes dark as usual.)

[...] At times much information can be used from them, after analysis in conscious life.

I suggest a brief break, and then I will resume for only a short time. [...]

[...] That is, they do not respond to what is physically present or perceivable in either space or time, but instead [dwell] upon the threats that may or may not exist, ignoring at the same time other pertinent data that are immediately at hand.

[...] Two days ago, she worked on our new front porch for the first time; she sat in the slanting sunlight and wrote down the information she psychically picked up from the “world view” of William James, the American psychologist and philosopher who lived from 1842–1910. [...]

[...] They anticipate mating, for example, before its time. [...]

[...] In any given period of time, with one physical body, he can anticipate or perform an infinitely vaster number of events — each one remaining probable until he activates it.

[...] The change was made to give Jane more time on weekends to handle the mail. I don’t think my own daily work patterns will be affected much; I help her with the correspondence, but don’t spend nearly the time at it that she does.)

(On the other hand, with the copyedited manuscript for James and the concluding chapters of Emir mailed to Prentice-Hall earlier this month, Jane found herself with some unexpected free time. [...]

(I don’t know how long I’ll continue to benefit from Jane’s assistance, though, since poetry, painting, and notes can all be quickly laid aside if she starts a new project, or resumes work on one that she’s kept in abeyance for some time. [...]

[...] The most elegant timing is involved in each individual’s birth and death. [...]

[...] You can choose to ignore the blueprints for some time. [...]

[...] Not that I compare myself with any Easter time gift, you understand. [...]

[...] My material, you must admit, is rather heavy and can become ponderous at times, but you will understand yourselves far better and the world in which you live, and the tulips, if you study the material. [...]

[...] The man who killed him believes he has killed a man, and ended consciousness forever and blotted out for eternity something that existed for a very brief time. [...]

[...] That particular overall method of separation leads to such questions as: “Which species came first, and which came later, and how did the various species emerge — one from the other?” Those questions are further brought about by your time classifications, without which they would be meaningless.

[...] You know that physically you will die, yet each person at one time or another is secretly sure that he or she will not meet such a fate, and that life is somehow eternal.

[...] You may say: “Granted,” yet persist, saying: “In our terms, however, when did the world begin, and in what manner?” Yet the very attempt to place such an origin in time makes almost any answer distorted.

Consciousness within the body knows that its existence is within the body’s context, and apart from it at the same time. [...]
