“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

([John:] “Was I invited to dip into this grab bag, the last time my boss was down?”)

(There followed a brief, rapid and humorous exchange between John and Seth that I did not have time to record. [...]

[...] If you do not want me to go booming through him for hours then I suggest that you call his name three times. [...]

[...] Jane paused, and I called her name three times. [...]

[...] Earlier I’d told Jane that for the first time I could see the vein crossing over the outside ankle bone of her right foot—another improvement. [...]

[...] Now Jane began a long series of exercises involving different parts of her whole body at different times. [...]

[...] Suddenly Jane began rocking her head and neck back and forth against the pillow quite violently, at the same time making a series of crying noises. [...]

[...] The world of normal communication I call Framework 1, while Framework 2 represents that inner world, in which indeed all time is simultaneous, and actions that might take years in normal time can happen in the blinking of an eyelid in Framework 2.

[...] There has been some success with people who imagine that the cancer is instead some hated enemy or monster or foe, which is then banished through mental mock battles over a period of time. [...]

Your physical image and your environment are exterior materializations that represent your interior action-events at any given time. [...]

[...] The rubbing expressed this feeling from you, and then acted directly on a sense-data level which both of you needed at the time to confirm what was an inner experience.

When Ruburt is involved in activity and his mind directed elsewhere, away from his symptoms, then his symptoms are greatly minimized, and at times disappear. [...]

[...] His personality is so constructed that he cannot give time, without conflict, to any matter to which he is not totally committed, or to any matter about which he has any serious doubt.

[...] This may have been on the part of the relative, a brother-in-law or some such, in a court action, I believe about the same time.

The error having to do with the name Philip—the minister at one time in his life was called Phil. [...]

[...] My own ears itch, and have for some time. [...]

(By 3:50, when she was reading the last two pages of the session, Jane said that already her holding the pages that way was almost automatic, though by the time she finishes a page her left hand is beginning to get tired. [...]

[...] She’d talked several times earlier about feeling itchy, and the tingles, in various parts of her body, as though circulation was increasing. [...]

[...] “There’s so much going on in my body at one time it’s hard to handle that too,” she laughed. [...]

(Softly amused:) As a matter of fact — in case you may think sometimes that I am not fully aware of your mores — I did indeed temper many of my remarks in Mass Events on several subjects, so that the book would not be found too objectionable in the context of your times. [...]

[...] It is much better that the books compete in such a fashion with the other material of your times, rather than be published, say, by a specialty house, or coddled along the way, for we speak to all of those people.

[...] Because of our own sympathetic reactions Jane and I often end up feeling frustrated; also, to help but a few people with any thoroughness means that we’d have no time left for the rest. [...]

If, for example, you believe that after a certain time of life hearing will fade, then so it will. [...]

[...] At times a polarization can occur. [...]

[...] Man experiences ambitions, desires, likes and dislikes of a highly emotional nature — and at the same time he has intellectual beliefs about himself, his feelings, and the world. [...]

[...] When you want to find a mate you take it for granted that a potential mate exists, though where in space and time you do not know. [...]

[...] Many such young persons prefer to die at that time, where they feel the possibilities for fulfillment are intricate and endless. [...]

Several important projects are clicking together in Framework 2, and Ruburt feels as if some dimensions in space-time are warped. The effect of events in Framework 2 is constant, but there are moments in your terms of particular acceleration, where “work” done there seems to quiver the edges of your reality in Framework 1. This is such a time.

[...] My last session was in a way—in a way—the result of Ruburt’s begrudging decision to “take time out to read the book.” [...]

[...] At the same time he is afraid of feedback, and he has learned to minimize his hearing to protect himself from criticism. The writing represents strong portions of Frank’s personality that are intently concerned with the expression of subjective feelings—feelings that appear nebulous at times because they cannot be expressed—so it seems to him—in a direct fashion.

[...] I am simply not going to waste time by telling you that you have nothing to worry about financially, for neither of you believe me. [...]

[...] If you had made a stand earlier however you would have saved yourself time and effort. [...]

At this time of your lives it is important that you act. [...]

Give us time.... [...]

Give us time.... [...]

Give us time.... [...]

[...] Not only because of the lost time and probably vain effort involved, but because as she talked, she knew she was saying things that applied to her as well. [...] After Stuart finally left, to stay at the YMCA, she walked in the kitchen, better than I’d seen her do in some time. [...]

Your young man gave you an excellent instance—a “case” that the most noteworthy psychologists or psychiatrists, if they had time, would find fascinating. [...] Your young psychologist was a case in point, with his “crazies,” your Andrija Puharich, your young people with the child, about Christmas time.

[...] I told him she couldn’t help him, that we didn’t have the time. [...]

[...] I had several spontaneous out-of-body experiences during Seth sessions and while doing the exercise Seth calls psy-time. [...]

[...] To some extent, it also upset my ordinary sleep schedule, so I usually experimented in this way for only a few weeks at a time.

[...] Before I give some examples from our records, here is some of the material on projection that Seth gave us during that time. [...]

[...] This time, there was a strange, very loud noise, like the magnified twang of a rubber band or cable that seemed to be reeling me back in. [...]

(“A word with M again, perhaps this time a name or initial.” [...] Seth here evidently refers to a different name this time than that shown on the bill, Glenn M. Schuyler. [...]

[...] Jane was present at the lumber company in Wellsburg when the bill was made out, but like me at the time she paid no particular attention to it, and hadn’t seen it since then.

[...] The enforced rest also gave him time to gain back his psychic resources. [...]

[...] The particular virus that attacked your cat had actually been in his system for some time. [...]

[...] At the same time of course he naturally resented such dictates. [...]

(9:46.) At the same time, he recognized the excellence of our joint creativity. [...]

[...] Whatever—both cases would involve time and interruptions, a threat to what I see as my main course in life these days, painting. [...]

[...] She’s been very rigorous in answering the mail for a number of years, and my thought at the moment at least is that it—the mail—might be more of a time bomb than we realized in that respect.

(Saturday, June 13, Jane and I attended a cocktail party in honor of Dee Masters, who was leaving as director of the art gallery where Jane is employed part time. [...]

By this time you should know that our material on material is excellent. [...]

[...] I have been ending the sessions earlier for a time merely to protect my interests. [...]

Nevertheless I am not only thinking of Ruburt, but also I wanted to give you some rest Joseph, in typing the material, and I was concerned with giving you more time to assimilate material as you get it. [...]

[...] Nor have I added to that list for a long time now. [...]

Now: we have been having a rather concentrated group of sessions, and it is quite natural that Ruburt should want to take some time out as he has, so that he can assimilate the material. [...]

Such reassurances and reminders can help connect him with feelings from that earlier time. [...]

[...] Actually I had many questions, but decided to forgo them since Seth had remarked earlier that Jane needed time to assimilate the material he’s already given.)

[...] At the same time the background itself will be alive, so it is difficult to tell whether the living background propels him outward, or whether he himself, from his own power, seems to rise out apart from the background. [...]

By the time the painting is done you should almost be able to hear his words, even though they are in a language you do not know. [...]

[...] This is one of those instances where Seth was speaking rather rapidly; I was so busy writing that I had no real time to think about the content of the material. [...]

We have plenty of time. [...]
