“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Our publishing company had very patiently waited for several years while Jane and I struggled to produce the book; in all that time no one ever exerted pressure upon us to hurry up and finish the job. [...]

Some of my descriptive passages in Dreams as I deal with Jane’s personal challenges are harrowing; they strike at the very heart of our fears of illness and disability, and even death, leading us to consciously face those possibilities while at the same time they perfectly mirror our equally profound inner needs and drives. [...]

[...] Give yourself suggestions only when you recognize that you have achieved a certain sense of peace within you, even if it is only momentary, the feeling that you have stilled your fears for the time being.

[...] I followed it all right, but at the same time I was wondering why the unconscious, when it saw how I was taking the symptom, didn’t get busy and eliminate it and set me at rest. [...]

Any time at all. [...]

([Rob:] “I have meant to ask that for some time.”)

[...] Uneven—gives the oddest feeling at times, but I do trust physician within...

[...] Head and back more flexible; eyes not quite so red—“in and out” of focus in a period of minutes, yet Jane could see to work part of the time today, as Seth suggested.)

Now when either of you, or both of you, feel that there might be something wrong in spending your time thinking, writing, painting, or worse, daydreaming, you feel that way because your way of life meets some conflict from old Darwinian and Freudian beliefs: you should be out there in the world—active, competing, or even just riding bicycles. [...]

[...] That was years ago, when you were working full time. [...]

[...] Our sessions began, and you managed to make other changes or compromises: you worked part time, and so did Ruburt. [...]

(There were welcome similarities between our sighting of today and that of last March: Again, the weather was very warm for this time of year; again, a fine rain was falling. [...]

Over a period of time, this can bring about some conscious experience with probable realities. [...]

[...] The nature of probabilities must be understood, for the time has come in the world as you experience it where the greatest wisdom and discrimination are needed. [...]

[...] Your species is in a time of change. [...]

[...] A small note: With more physical activity, let him talk to you anytime he feels conflicts between writing and physical activity—and I will speak about that next time.

(“At about this time Monday night, we were in a nightclub, although I don’t know whether or not this could be called a charade, mostly singing and limbo dancing.”)

8:15, again by water, but this time in a more Spanish sort of environment. [...]

(“We discussed going to dinner several times at Warry’s Green Shutters Inn, but decided against it because they specialized in Italian food, and Bill doesn’t like it.”)

[...] If you read our early material, you will see that your environment and the conditions of your life at any given time are the direct result of your own expectations. [...]

[...] According then to the specific conditions existing at the time, such an individual will to some extent or another act according the mass suggestions he has received.

[...] Jane’s eyes were open at times, her pace good.

[...] One of those former students, who now lives out of town, had a rather heavy cold—and now I think that for the first time in many years we too may be developing colds. [...]

(9:42 P.M. Seth’s references to my facial changes while sleeping touched upon a subject Jane and I had meant to ask him about several times; she’d referred to it again today. [...]

I could only reply this evening—as I had at the time—that I was glad she’d had her perception, but that consciously I hadn’t been aware of any bodily changes. [...]

[...] They take hardly any time, but will be most effective.

[...] This is to be done once at a time only. [...]

Ruburt’s own system is charged at such times. [...]

[...] Anyhow, in a short matter of time I’m completely healed. [...]

(Jane has not yet resumed her study of psychological time, even though Seth said it was all right for her to begin again on a daily fifteen-minute basis. [...]

[...] We have much time available to us, and need not worry over an occasional missed or short session, as long as our overall pattern is maintained.

[...] Later, at the time of the Bay of Pigs, the necessary supplies were purchased. [...]

All of this had to do with past conscious decisions and responses to situations that, in your terms, no longer existed at the time of the flood. [...]

In other terms the flood waters became the waters of time, and of the passage of the phenomenal world.

For a short period of time after the water receded, there were excited radio recommendations: Clinics were set up and the populace was told that tetanus injections were imperative.

[...] (In a recent issue of Time magazine.) Such unfoldings always occur from within, responding to signals not from the exterior but from the interior environment.

[...] There is no saving time lag, as within your own system, and there is no physical body such as you know it.

[...] The very mechanism of the body however is so constructed that it can bear the brunt of many errors, and free itself from them, though this may not seem to be the case at times. [...]

[...] Now the sculptor does at times identify with his sculpt, but never entirely, and it will help him if he remembers that he did the damage, and therefore can undo it.

The negative thoughts can and should be recognized and plucked up as they are encountered, but you do not need a shovel to pluck up one weed at a time, nor hit yourself over the head with a sledgehammer for finding a weed in your garden. [...]

[...] It does not need to be watered with tears, with pledges, or told ten times a minute to grow. [...]

[...] He need not go about at the time searching for an antidote, you see. [...]

[...] (Pause.) One point, not having to do with the sale: he feels that you and Ruburt have no time for him, since he moved away. [...]

[...] At the same time he tempered his ideas with passages like this one, from the 870th session for Chapter 10.)

(10:13.) Now: Ruburt’s condition is as I gave it last time, and it is highly important that you both keep this in mind: The bodily commotion is most beneficial. [...]

(We had discussed this at supper time. Jane had noticed a close similarity in some of the effects described by Oliver Fox, and those she had experienced on her own while doing psychological time, as long as two years ago.)

[...] If your levitation experience seems to carry you outside of your solar system, then you know that you are using the third form, and that your abilities for the time are almost limitless, comparatively speaking. [...]

[...] We had used the intervening time as a break, and Jane resumed in the same active manner at 10:05.)

[...] At any time in a projection you may will yourself to return, and you shall.

(Pause.) I told you some time ago that miracles were simply nature unimpeded, and Ruburt is learning to give his nature freedom, so that it can follow the greater ways of its own knowledge —therefore freeing his body so that it can behave in a more natural and normal fashion. [...]

[...] We’ve noticed that her bursts of motion usually take place to their greatest extent around session time, of course. [...]
