“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] He often in the beginning resented the psychic work precisely because it took time from your painting for transcripts. Therefore behind all of this is his high estimation of your abilities and work, and his refusal to see you trapped so that you do not have full time to use them.

The fact that you would say “I am giving you the opportunity to do this by my job” entrapped him further, for he felt basically that underneath this was another reason: that if you wanted badly enough to paint all the time that you would do so, that you should have done so, that you should do so, that you would and could have managed without jobs, particularly in the later years, and that you were betraying yourself and therefore him. [...]

Your relationship alone, as unsatisfactory as it may seem to you at times, has served, and will, as a beacon for many who have not dared to try for so much, who have not dared to accept the challenges that you have accepted.

[...] He was afraid that both of you would become too timid as time went on to make the move that he felt you must make, and that the necessary opportunity would slip through you fingers.

[...] Now your secrets leave me completely untouched since I was an illegitimate mother several times, and as a father I sired many that I did not know. [...] And this is why your secret did not bother me either, for I know that each of you have been both male and female and that you simply adapt those characteristics that suit you most at the time. [...]

I am even more amused by Ruburt’s statement and if we are going to have trust, by God, we are going to take it tippytoe at a time. [...]

[...] And now it is time for your secret. [...]

[...] But had I not inserted these little sessions with emotion, and they are, indeed, fairy tales, then there would have been no chance for any joint ventures such as those that I have in mind and have had in mind for some time. [...]

[...] From Seth she then picked up material to the effect that “time was in the present to the cat … in a way its life was eternal to it, whether it lived 10 months or 10 years, or whatever.” At the time (she wrote later for me) emotionally she objected strenuously to that message of Seth’s, since “it seemed too easy a way to sign off a cat’s life — or any other life — even if it was true. [...]

[...] You cannot eradicate a virus, though at any given time you destroy every member alive of any given strain. [...]

[...] Each body contains countless viruses that could be deadly at any given time and under certain conditions. [...]

[...] It seems quite scientific to believe in inoculations against such dangerous diseases — and certainly, scientifically, inoculations seem to work: People in your time right now are not plagued by smallpox, for example. [...]

[...] All of these events followed the barrage of letters I’ve been sending out, trying to unearth something, some treatment, some magical potion or truth or belief that would help my wife in her time of deep need. [...]

[...] The answers, as you know, do not lie in drugs, although some, like your aspirin, may be helpful at times because of your belief in their worth. [...]

[...] At the same time, I’d been talking earlier in the day about how any real way out of our dilemma had to come from within. [...]

Now: The planetary system of which we spoke in our last session was the first one within your universe, when you are speaking in terms of time. [...]

[...] Consciousnes had first to create the void or the dimension in which the system could exist, and also to endow that void with all the probabilities for development that have come about in your time and are to come about. [...]

Remember, when we speak of the beginnings of your system, we speak only in consideration of your ideas of time. [...]

[...] After the session I told Jane that he’d said more than he realized — that in the case of predictions it would be wise of us to remind ourselves that his sense of time is indeed far different than ours, that much more time could be involved on our parts than on his. [...]

[...] That’s the first time Seth has ever said that we were doing that well with Framework 2, I’m sure. [...]

[...] The other requested more time for a decision to be made on the payment of major medical benefits. [...]

(Seth made this observation because before the session Jane had remarked that she can still get “pretty blue at times.”)

[...] Jane said she has picked up from staff people at various times that they thought her skin was fragile and would break down easily—”that a good wind would blow me away, things like that....” [...]

[...] It is there all the time whether or not you realize it and it sustains you whether or not you realize it. [...]

[...] One in automatic writing and one in psychological time. [...]

[...] If the dilemma continued for any length of time, you could then develop a chronic ailment, though not of an incapacitating manner. [...]

(I began this short appendix a couple of weeks after the 732nd session was held, but didn’t finish certain parts of it until some time later. [...] Yet I felt no strong surge of emotion, for instance, to learn that Norma Pryor [whom I’ve met but a few times], Peter Smith, and Jack Pierce are counterparts of mine — nor did they when I read Seth’s material to them during ESP class six nights later. [...]

[...] I wondered about the countless times counterparts had unwittingly gathered on similar occasions, and what sort of numberless exchanges had taken place on unconscious levels between those who were psychically related in some fashion.

[...] But I am a part of no particular room and no particular time and no particular place. And you are a part of no particular room and no particular time and no particular place. [...]

[...] And as you sit here now so you have existed many times. [...]

[...] So lo—your joy and peace—and let it be with you in the old ways of these days, realizing that these days are always—and yet that there are more days than these, and other times and other places. [...]

[...] That the ideas of Orientals that you had at that time were highly distorted. [...]

[...] Now if this were not the case you would be dealing with my friend, Seth II, all of the time so you had all better watch out. [...]

[...] We move through systems such as yours faster than the speed of light, and so what I am saying is already a translation and, in your terms, a message left in the past of your time. [...]

[...] You do so now all the time, but you are not aware of it. [...]

[...] My reactions during the experience were quite objective this time. [...] I had none of the thrilling sensations, for example, that can sweep over me at such times.

[...] Jane has been doing well, though, and yesterday walked three times — the most in one day that I can remember offhand. [...]

[...] It tries to fly ahead with avant garde ideas, while at the same time protecting its flank of college textbooks. [...]

[...] The publishing house — that publishing house — represents in capsule form the extremes of thought of your time, from the most conventional to the most bizarre. [...]

[...] Jane began speaking a little ahead of time, while sitting on the couch once more. [...]

Now, my best to you in a difficult time.

[...] This time her vitality, chosen by her, forces her to do so. [...]

[...] Jane said she had been far out, but was aware she had spoken for a long time. [...]

[...] Some of you are quite familiar with what we will class, or Ruburt will call, Alpha V or VI, but the time has come for you to start at the beginning and work your way through. [...] And it is a dimension that had to appear in class for, as I told you before, the time has passed, here, where you can hide in concepts. [...]

[...] You direct it beyond this place and this time, and so it is about time that you learned to recognize it within yourselves and within the others within this room. [...]

[...] And any reality to you, at this time, involves emotional awareness and gradations of it. [...]

(The double test envelope for the 8th test contained a page from an old novel of Jane’s entitled The Adult Time. [...]

[...] Her eyes were closed most of the time.

[...] At the time, I had assumed that the two people referred to were Jane and me, since she was in the picture I took. [...]

You have noticed, I am sure, that at times visitors to a session are of definite value, for the psychic energy is pooled, and can be of value. [...]

[...] She’s still very uncomfortable at times, and is now on four-hour doses of Darvoset.)

[...] All the lives are actually occurring at the same time, as the hypothetical youngster’s merry-go-round experiences happened all in one day.

Give us time. [...]

[...] Remind yourself however that even in this period of activity your creative mind is working on paintings, and you will have the time to physically produce them.

[...] There was a Spanish life in the 17th century and one in what is now California in the early 1800’s. You have been twice a woman and three times a man. [...] We will give you more specific details at a later time with dates and names. [...]

[...] Otherwise the letters may lay there for some time before I investigate them. [...]

[...] In most such instances the tirade will continue for some time, while in other far lesser episodes it might instead simply leap to disordered, confused thoughts about being so pursued. [...]

[...] She dozed or napped several times while I sat beside her, working with mail. [...]

[...] I answered some mail, and told Jane I’d have a session any time she wanted one. [...]

[...] The imagery he did involving your old apartments is just as effective, and the other [method] will come in good time. [...]
