“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] At the same time, poetry was and is creative play, and it sprang from the depths of his being. [...]

[...] It inclines him to see his ideas as existing in direct conflict to those of your contemporary times. [...]

In such a situation, Ruburt thinks of work as work, and finds himself wanting—for a doctor after all heals patients, a lawyer solves cases or whatever, so it seems to Ruburt that his work must—underlined three times—make truth practical, and of course beneficially so. [...]

[...] It must appear in time, but its nourishment is not like that of a baker’s loaf, and its “practicality” cannot be reduced to such terms. [...]

(11:05.) It does not desert the body for any length of time, however, and it is not this that is projected in cases like the seaside analogy used earlier. You are presently focused not only in your physical body, but within a particular frequency of events that you interpret as time. [...]

[...] It also seems that your form can only be in one place at one time. [...]

[...] They “make room” for themselves in ways that are rather difficult to explain, although they may coexist at times with physical objects or shapes, or may even be superimposed upon these. [...]

[...] You spend all your time examining this one small stream, so that you become hypnotized by its flow, and entranced by its motion. [...]

[...] You may at times for example, hear words, or see images that appear out of context with your own thoughts. [...]

At the same time, you make this information available to all these other portions of your identity, who dwell in entirely different realities, and you receive from them comparable information. [...]

[...] This time the data concerned the reasons behind Jane’s years of training in writing poetry and fiction. [...]

For example: There was no beginning, and there will be no end, yet parables have been given telling you of beginnings and endings simply because with your distorted ideas of time, beginnings and endings seem to be inseparable, valid events. [...]

[...] These were all males because at that time of your development, you would not have accepted a female counterpart.

[...] Jane’s pace has been very slow at times.)

[...] “Something like Christ being a central pole, with twelve balls revolving around him but radiating outward at the same time,” she said. [...]

[...] She’d also been quite relaxed at times through the day, so I didn’t ask her for a session. [...]

[...] All our doors and most windows were open because of the heat, yet when Jane went into trance her delivery was quite energetic, almost fast, and at times very emphatic. [...]

[...] In a fashion, at least in your time, science has as much to fear from the free intellect as religion does, and (with irony) any strong combination of intellectual and intuitional abilities is not tailor-made to bring you great friends from either category.

[...] For various reasons, the time of the full moon is most beneficial. [...] For Ruburt, the time of ovulation is good.

[...] There is a point where the ego will be left behind but each time it will go further.

[...] Otherwise it would be impossible for you to give it as much time as will later be required.

Let him remember that when he is entirely engrossed in discussing our work or explaining it, he hardly knows he has any symptoms at all—this even when his attitudes may not be of the best at any given time.

[...] During the time have Ruburt concentrate upon all those other functions of body, organ and mind, that are in excellent condition, quite obviously filled with vitality. [...]

[...] Of the last few months or so I spent at my mother’s house—when she called me time after time during those spring and summer months of 1950: she wanted her pillows turned, she cried out in rage and pain—and here I was some 30 years later, calling out to Rob (voice breaking) to move my pillows or raise my head. [...]

[...] She attempted suicide again, this time by taking an overdose of phenobarbital. [...]

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

[...] Your own statement of course was quite true, as to the concentration on negative aspects (since supper time), but both of your attitudes have definitely improved.

[...] At that previous time the weight gain preceded improvement.

[...] I haven’t taken the time to think of any. Do you?” This was the first time I’d ever asked Seth if he had any questions we could answer. [...]

For centuries, priests of one kind or another have been put in charge of “reading God’s messages,” and interpreting them to the rest of mankind, just as in later times the scientists have been put in the position of interpreting man’s own world to him—in terms quite as esoteric as those of any religion. [...]

[...] Your body’s relative permanence in time is dependent upon the electron’s magnificent behavior as it deals with probabilities. [...]

At one level your cells obey the rules of time, but on other levels they defy it. [...]

[...] She repeated several times between sniffles that she’d try to have a session. [...]

[...] I couldn’t help but tell myself I’d seen the same thing many times before, without lasting results.

[...] I do suggest that on session nights Ruburt find some time to relax. Also that whenever possible you both read our material, and that you do continue now with psychological time, following the directions which I have given you.

(Jane and I have not as yet resumed the study of psychological time.

[...] She began dictating on time, in a normal voice and at a regular rate. [...]

[...] They will be discussed under their own headings when the time is ready.

Now the red hoods had a peculiar significance, subconsciously speaking, to you because the red subconsciously meant violence and the idea in the back of your mind that religions through the ages have often resulted in violence and also Cardinals, you see, wear red hats at times. [...]

([Molly:] “They were still outside all the time.”)

[...] I do not know if she is there now, but she was at that time and you met her in the hallway. [...]

[...] Now at this time, it seems too much to bear both at the same, and so our friend here is being the critical one for you and then you can free yourself for this trance work knowing that any questions of a critical nature that you might have will be asked by her and, therefore, you will feel free to go ahead. [...]

[...] The ego represents merely any given pattern of characteristics, psychological characteristics, that happen to be dominant at any given time. If any kind of a thorough investigation were to be carried on, it would become apparent that during one lifetime any given individual will display several, sometimes quite different, egos at various times, each one quite honestly seeing itself as the permanent I.

[...] If I had known either of you as contemporaries within your physical time in your present existence, then after death I would have assumed, once again, the dominant ego by which you had known me. [...]

(It was now time for the 48th Dr. Instream experiment. [...]

[...] This time she did not hold it to her forehead but in her lap. [...]

Aside from anything Seth has said or ever may say about other probable realities, or even about human origins here on earth, I think it most risky at this stage in history for anyone—scientist or not—to dogmatically state that life has no meaning, or is a farce, or that attributes of our reality of which we can only mentally conceive at this time do not really exist. [...] Truly, our individual and collective ignorance of just our own probable reality is most profound at this time in our linear history (in those terms). [...]

[...] [Some of them are on reincarnation, and I plan to present them when Seth gets into that subject in Dreams.] On October 7, a Sunday, Jane saw for the first time the work Sue Watkins has done on Conversations With Seth, the book she’s writing about the ESP classes Jane used to hold. [...]

During this session hiatus I’ve been spending much time upon a series of letters to the publishers of Seth Speaks in Switzerland and in the Netherlands, as well as to those in charge at Prentice-Hall.¹ Last Saturday night we had a very interesting meeting with a psychologist from New York City. [...]

Today, Jane wrote three more excellent little poems, all of which I hope to eventually see published.² I think she grumbled the whole time she was doing them, though, since she kept at herself because she wasn’t working on God of Jane.

Now, in physical terms it may take some time before your conscious mind accepts or recognizes a diagnosis given in a dream. [...]

[...] You can also go steps beyond this into the dream condition itself, requesting certain dreams, certain solutions, and therefore shortening the time, so to speak, that may be involved otherwise.

[...] At the same time, I couldn’t help wondering why Peggy had chosen this day to visit us, of all days. [...]

(4:38 p.m. As noted, I’d wondered myself about the timing of Peggy’s visit. [...]

[...] During the first week of that time off from sessions we worked steadily at checking the copyedited manuscript for Psyche. [...] Then Jane, in a typical burst of inspiration the next day, began writing her third Seven book: Oversoul Seven and the Museum of Time.

[...] Finally, last night she made her intuitive connection: She had been working on the book the entire time. Heroics isn’t to be on how to reach some unattainable superself, but on the barriers that stand in the way of practical self-realization. [...]

[...] So much more evidence is available to you: the order of nature; the creative drama of your dreams, that project your consciousness into other times and places; the very precision with which you spontaneously grow, without knowing how, from a fetus into an adult; the existence of heroic themes and quests and ideals that pervade the life of even the worst scoundrel — these all give evidence of the greater context in which you have your being.

[...] There would have been no unofficial roads for Ruburt to follow, to lead him from the official beliefs of his time. [...]
