“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Seth maintains that we can’t trust ourselves while distrusting our impulses at the same time. [...]

[...] Perhaps the Seth sessions themselves harken back to some ancient time when we received much of our pertinent information about ourselves in just such a fashion: one of us journeying for the others into the “mass unconsciousness” — a journey that somehow altered and expanded the personality — and then communicating our visions as best we could.

[...] Nor can it be much aided in times of physical difficulties, for the basic causes of the problems is not known, and treatment at best is haphazard.

As you know, at one time it was necessary for the ego to focus exclusively upon outer data, but the channels never closed between the inner self and the ego. [...]

[...] In many instances love itself seems wrong because it must imply sexual expression at times when such expression is not possible, or even desired. [...]

[...] The female elements in the Church were always considered suspect, and in the early times of Christianity there was some concern lest the Virgin become a goddess. [...]

(A note by R.F.B.: The following quotations are from sessions Jane delivered for her trance personality, Seth, just before and during the time she worked with him on Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment. [...]

(Several times this morning while we were working Jane mentioned that she was receiving flashes from Seth about a particular subject—the refrigerator in our bathroom. [...]

[...] It is nothing serious and I will also cover the reasons behind her particular variety of seasonal difficulties at a later time, when I go into her past lives.

All time is simultaneous (Seth told the members of class), and so you are male and female at once.

[...] Then Jane came through as Sumari once more, but this time she spoke in conversational tones.³ Immediately she was finished, Seth returned:)

[...] This is the first time I definitely realized I had a false awakening, then consciously tried to project from it. [...]

[...] At the same time the others with me cautioned me to stop poking. [...]

[...] At the same time, although the data was available, we didn’t want to lay this book aside to get it.

[...] A person you feel strongly against at any given time upsets you because he or she does not live up to your expectations. [...]

(Slowly:) In the same way, it is possible to love your fellow human beings on a grand scale, while at times hating them precisely because they so often seem to fall short of that love. [...]

It would do you both good if you took some time to become better acquainted with your own feelings about who you are or what you are, as opposed to who or what you think you should be, and why you think you should be different. [...]

[...] He felt that he should be doing other things, however: he should be using (underlined) his time better. [...]

[...] We’ve talked about this a number of times, and I’ve also mentioned it in session notes. [...]

[...] They are as altruistic, or unselfish, as your physical organs are (intently), and I would like that sentence read several times. [...] You would not spend time wondering what your purpose was, for it would make itself known to you, as you perceived the direction in which your natural impulses led, and felt yourself exert power in the world through such actions. [...]

[...] When such natural impulses toward action are constantly denied over a period of time, when they are distrusted, when an individual feels in battle with his or her own impulses and shuts down the doors toward probable actions, then that intensity can explode into whatever avenue of escape is still left open.

Realize that each time you replace a negative thought or feeling by a positive one, this is like making a correction in a painting. [...]

It is quite possible you see for you to have results tomorrow, but it takes time to paint the picture from your idea. [...]

[...] This does not take much additional time, you see. [...]

(9:41.) I have said that many times. [...]

[...] At the same time he is not that, of course, since he cannot completely carry out the woman’s role of housekeeping, and so forth—so in that (underlined) way, he also shows that he is a writer. [...]

[...] When you came here (to Pinnacle Road), to a more lucrative kind of middle-class America, Elmira-style, you wondered what people thought, that you were home all the time. [...]

[...] Your abilities led both of you far beyond, and it is time that you updated your ideas. [...]

[...] It is true that in dreams you do reach some of the deepest sources of your being at times, but even there, the expression of that being is far too individualistic to assign the same kind of “unconscious” meaning to overall symbols.

Natural therapy, therefore, is difficult to achieve to its fullest benefit in your society, because it is constantly interfered with from the time of your birth. [...]

Even with so-called mental disorders, however, orientation with the body is very important, as are the individual’s beliefs about his own form and its relationship with others and with time and space. [...]

[...] The Moslem militants released 13 of our citizens—5 white women and 8 black men—who returned home by Thanksgiving Day, but this time they kept in bondage the remaining 53 Americans. [...]
