“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Even now, local civil defense officials monitor the air several times daily with radiological survey meters — equipment similar to Geiger counters. [...]

The Christ drama is a case in point, where private and mass dreams were then projected outward into the historical context of time, and then reacted to in such a way that various people became exterior participants — but in a far larger mass dream that was then interpreted in the most literal of physical terms. [...]

[...] This happened at a time of day when I’m not usually at my best — around 4 in the afternoon. [...]

2. Much of Jane’s trance material on how individuals use dreams personally came through in answer to a question of mine that we’d often speculated about lately: If most people do not remember their dreams most of the time, of what use can their dreams be to them? [...]

[...] Jane had also told me tonight that she’d particularly enjoyed last Sunday’s unscheduled session — both the time of week it had been held, and the time of day. [...]

[...] But I think the main portion of my enthusiasm stemmed from the frustration I often feel because much of Seth’s material will go unpublished at this time. [...]

(At the same time, I told Jane tonight, I wasn’t asking that she try for a fast book because I didn’t think she was ready for it, even though I knew that she — and Seth — could do it. [...]

[...] He may love his family dog, for example, while at the same time think nothing of injecting other animals with diseased tissue in his professional capacity.

[...] It knows when to put fulfillment off for a time. [...]

[...] It is more than what you are at any given moment in your time. [...]

[...] You may as well be thankful for the time when it is offered.

[...] And reread this evening’s session several times, for you will discover that it answers several unspoken questions.

[...] We are not dealing with time, but intensities. [...]

The intensity of interest in other directions is much more important than time. [...]

[...] The suggestions given, applied with intensity, can work wonders in a very brief time. [...]

[...] We want to develop these same qualities at other times also.

In fact, all of those topics were so much on Jane’s mind that for the second time in three days she went to “work” right after breakfast. [...]

[...] As he has said so many times, Seth speaks only through me, to protect the integrity of the material. [...]

[...] Yet in the long run even these become, finally, constructive manipulations whose purposes, perhaps, we did not understand at the time.

[...] And in her introduction to Seth Speaks (1972), she quoted Seth from the 510th session for January 19, 1970: “While my communications will come exclusively through Ruburt (Jane) at all times, to protect the integrity of the material, I will invite the reader to become aware of me as a personality….”

[...] At the same time, it depressed me deeply as I thought of the opportunities we’d missed through the years. [...] At the same time, I do think we’ve made some progress through our own work with the pendulum.)

[...] Fears should not he inhibited, but encountered, and yet behind all of them, in your time at least, lies the feeling that the individual is powerless against the conditions of his body or the events of the world.

[...] Those people were not involved in such a psychic initiation, however, in your time, so they can in your terms afford to use such helpful information, and do not feel any need at all to hold themselves apart from it as Ruburt has.

Many writers of historical pieces, for example, are writing out of direct experience with those times. [...]

[...] Jane, still in trance, sat quietly for a short time. [...]

[...] Usually between lives you choose ahead of time your children, and they choose you as parents.

[...] I called her several times, then suggested she get up and exercise when she finally began to look around. [...]

[...] And I’ve got that feeling again, that more time should have passed while I was under: I think it should be a lot later now than it is. It’s as though when the material’s good I expect that it should take more time to get, or something like that…. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s consciousness merged, while still retaining its own individuality, with the consciousness of the leaves outside his window, and with the nail in the windowsill, and traveled outward and inward at the same time, so that like a mental wind his consciousness traveled through other psychological neighborhoods.

[...] In the same fashion, jointly all of the people alive at any given time “direct” the events of the universe to behave in a certain fashion, even though the processes must happen by themselves, or automatically. [...]

[...] Pauses, eyes open at times.)

[...] (Eyes open.) The woman’s death was foremost as far as probabilities were concerned, and yet at many points at the time of our session she could have altered those probabilities.

[...] However, the woman chose the time of her death, with the subconscious knowledge of the whole family.

[...] This will allow your own energies time to regenerate, and in the overall will be more dependable.

[...] We didn’t have time to say much, however, because Seth came back in about ten minutes. [...]

[...] Since feeling is so often the cohesive with which mind builds, it is feeling itself which must be changed if you would find freedom from your particular plane of existence at your particular time. [...]

[...] But at the time of this session, he told us all we could understand, while he began slowly to build up the necessary background and concepts.

[...] Rob spent a good deal of time typing the sessions, as he still does. [...]

(2. Much of Jane’s trance material on how individuals use dreams personally came through in answer to a question of mine that we’d often speculated about lately: If most people do not remember their dreams most of the time, of what use can their dreams be to them? [...]

[...] Even then, you might not recall the dream, but the situation itself as it comes to your attention might make you check your tires, decide to put off your trip, or instead lead you to inner speculations about whether you are going too fast in a certain direction for your own good at this time. [...]

[...] An “instant” recovery would have been too easy, in that he might have reasoned in the future that such a course was after all safe: he could always snap out of it at any time.

The activity can result, again, in unevenness of function at times, and it is precisely here where his trust is important. [...]

[...] I may or may not return, according to those rhythms of which I have spoken—but in an important regard I am indeed present from the time of my first greeting in an afternoon until the time that you leave. It is easier then to hold a session at such times. [...]

[...] The time seemed to fly by. [...]

[...] Note that Seth began commenting right away on the notes I’d written at the end of the last [yesterday’s] session, about my unfriendly feelings toward the Sinful Self at this time. [...]

(It had rained hard after supper, but slackened as session time drew close. [...]

(I hadn’t felt especially good at various times today, and hadn’t been very communicative about it with Jane. Traces of my chest discomfort, re Leonard, had also come upon me at times. [...]

[...] This is the true nature of healing, and in the physical situation, practically speaking, you must allow time for the muscles to readjust themselves, and gain their strength. [...] This is also a time of deep unconscious creativity. [...]

[...] Now there are twins in time as you experience it. Twins also appears in different times. [...]

As a change of environment affects twins, Twin A becoming something different again through a given environment from Twin B in another environment, so twins born in different times also develop different portions of a basic personality pattern. [...]

(“Why are his arms bent?” I thought I had spoken as loudly as usual in asking the question the first time.)

[...] They have occurred over periods of time however. [...]

[...] She also explained something to me about indigence—how, after a certain period of time Jane and I would be considered separate people so that she could qualify Medicaid payments, I believe—and that, even if they got after me to make up those payments, I could refuse to do so. [...]

[...] At one time I thought of asking Tam if he’d do it. [...]

[...] At the same time, I get angry when I think we’re being manipulated, and so forth. [...]

[...] It surely shows the way to go, if we want to be free, though at the same time we can’t divorce ourselves from daily life. [...]

[...] It seems to Ruburt that his thoughts are negative a good deal of the time—naturally—and that he must take effort to change them. Of course, instead it is the other way around: his thoughts are creative and exuberant—naturally—when he leaves himself alone, and the troublesome thoughts that seem so natural now are the results of acquired mental patterns as he began to distrust his own nature, as given many times.

At that time you acquire the language of your people, and you learn to use mental concepts in a rather specialized way, and to further designate objects more specifically. [...]

Your usual perception is of course blocked by time, and by your conscious understanding at any given point in your lives. [...]

[...] Now: For an example, take a woman who feels compelled to wash her hands twenty or thirty times a day. [...] But when a man’s ulcers bother him every time he eats certain foods, it is more difficult to perceive the fact that this behavior is also compulsive and repetitive.

(I reminded her of a couple of subjects I hoped Seth would discuss, as he’d promised to do some time ago: 1. The great flood of June, 1972, in this area, and our roles in it; see the notes for the 613th session in Chapter One. [...]

[...] At the same time it seems that Jane is trying to convey several sounds or ideas at once, with but one set of vocal chords.

[...] Ideas of retirement fall generally into the same pattern, for hidden within them is the belief that at one time or another, at a specific age, your powers will begin to fail. [...]
