“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Association or no, physically you will remember events in time, with present moments neatly following past ones. [...] Time as such has little meaning in that framework. [...] In a large manner, the emotions defy time.

You normally organize your experience in terms of time. [...]

The primary energy gestalt did not have a beginning in time, nor will it end in time. It is a result of an expansion, again, in terms of value fulfillment, an expansion that has nothing to do with either time or space as men conceive them.

(I have yet to resume psychological time study. I now have my dream notebook in full swing, and since I had more dreams on the order of the two already discussed by Seth, I had my dream notebook open on the table as session time approached, in case these dreams were used in the material.

[...] When beginnings and endings are spoken of, the implication is always there, that there must be but one reality, and that it must have a beginning in time and an ending in time.

[...] Now each time we make the beautiful drive to Elmira, it’s like moving back in time—just like it used to be when we traveled from Elmira to Sayre. And I speculate that Jane and Seth watch Laurel and me with much amusement now as we manipulate that quality called “time” on our journeys back and forth between the two houses…

[...] A way that, although still very emotional at times, allowed us the freedom to encompass this most unusual and continuing adventure in as easy and conventional a manner as possible. [...] (I’ll bet that he still does, 16 of our time-bound years after Jane’s death!) Jane’s method was her very individualistic way of developing her great, yet consciously unsuspected powers.

[...] Part of the Collection, as I call it, is already available at the Yale University Library, but how many have the time to visit there? [...] All I’d need is the “time” to do that while overseeing the projects already listed. [...]

[...] Whereas here, there is a time lag between the time we think of something and it results in a created action or object. In the time lag on this plane, there are other thoughts, projections on the same idea or object; Seth declined to go into their effects on the final idea or object until a later time.

[...] There will be a time lapse within this system, but in other systems there may be no time lapse... [...]

([Tom:] “But between the time of thinking about it now and the time it becomes a reality, other thoughts can come to bear on that idea and change it before it becomes a reality. [...]

[...] There will be a time lapse within this system, but in other systems there may be no time lapse—and your thought may be instantly transposed into reality. [...]

([Theodore:] “But between the time of thinking about it now and the time it becomes a reality, other thoughts can come to bear on that idea and change it before it becomes a reality. [...]

Now in answer to Ruburt’s question: The birth will occur at the time given; by the time given (the year 2075). The other changes will occur generally over the period of a century, but the results will show far before that time.

[...] For some time the Lord of Righteousness tried to hide himself within the city. His identity was discovered, however, and he and a band of men took to caves that were between Damascus and another nearby town, much smaller, that had been used at one time as a fortress. [...]

[...] Jane thought a period of less than a century was much too short a time to encompass so many dramatic changes. [...]

The cause and effect theory, as I have stated, is a result of your ideas of time. [...] When you develop your time theory and realize that present, past and future are merely effects and distortions caused by your own perspective, then your scientists will realize that cause and effect is a passé and antiquated theory, useful only for a short time—I hope you appreciate the pun with the word time—and should be discarded.

[...] Upon leaving the state of psychological time I forgot this sighting, but remembered it while in the state of psychological time the following day.

Not only does the physical matter that composes these images go back into the physical storehouse, to be reused time and time again, but also the physical matter is broken down once again to the state in which it was before its cooperation of parts that formed a particular physical body.

[...] It meant however more creative time spent in examining (underlined) the psychic experience. At the same time he hoped Tam would take Rich Bed, knowing he wouldn’t. Unconsciously Tam sensed that dilemma, as he senses this one. [...] You could see his condition, and as given earlier he tried to hide from you at times most of all.

[...] He had only lately freed himself from a part-time job. [...] At the same time his age bothered him. [...]

Bill Macdonnel, coming at this time of year, did remind him of the first sessions and the ESP book and the tooth incident, caused physically by the sinuses, was a message that the time was crucial, a crisis. [...]

(To Florence.) I did not say you were wasting your time, for you were not. I said you were dillydallying; that is not necessarily a waste of time. You were, however, using it instead of the time you could have been using to look further inward. [...]

[...] It is time for you to take a step in your psychological time experiments, and I hope that you will take it shortly. [...]

[...] You are so distrustful of the innate vitality of life and of consciousness and of All That Is that you feel that your aggressive thoughts can take it off balance and, magnified a million times, destroy it. Now on an individual basis, each of you is quite able to accept from the other, though I am certain that it would never happen in this class, a stray negative thought, or an aggressive thought, or even at times a stray ray of hatred. [...]

[...] You felt conflicts at times. [...] Time spent writing meant time not spent painting.

I am going to try to help you enlarge that focus, and I know that the time is right. First of all, you must realize it is futile to say “Why does understanding take so much time?” Or “Why have we been so opaque?” Or in your case “Why has it taken me so long to be a good painter?”

[...] As a writer, Ruburt resented the time. [...] Inquiries for help, to both of you, represented distractions, those who would take your time, in the old terms, and give nothing.

[...] Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed, and once again her pace was slow; at times during this first delivery it was as slow as I can remember during any session. [...] She sat for some time with her head down, her hands raised to her temples. [...]

[...] He does not carry his precious spherical time idea far enough to begin with. His spherical time is like the surface of a sphere only.

[...] The inverted time system will appear plainly, if any examination is made as to the relationship between time and the dream state.

I do not suggest that this be kept up for any length of time, at a steady rate. [...] It can hold you over but at the same time the body is getting used to a more or less artificial element; element not in terms of chemical. [...]

There are reasons why you chose the particular symptoms that you have, and reasons why they emerged at this particular time. [...]

For some time you had consciously considered various roads that you could take, but subconsciously you became more and more alarmed, and felt severely hampered in your progress.

Time reversal or particle symmetry, the equivalence of space and time, is a tenet of relativistic physics and quantum theory. In the material I have on file on electron spin itself, though, I haven’t found any discussion of Seth’s ideas of: (a) a reversed electron spin and a consequent time reversal, or (b) electrons spinning in many directions at once (even if we could grasp such a situation). [...]

(This will be the first time Seth has appeared on television since we did some promotional work for The Seth Material after its publication in 1970. At that time Jane spoke for Seth on two occasions from cities in the East. [...]

In as simple a language as possible, and to some extent in your terms, the electron’s spin determines time “sequences” from your viewpoint. In those terms, then, a reversed spin is a reversed time motion. [...]

(9:32.) Again, his natural abilities kept leading him, so it seemed, away from the straight novel framework into the science fiction format, where at that time he discovered that science fiction was not given any particular honor in the literary field. [...] At the same time his abilities were examining the world at large, and your own worlds, as they were unfolding. [...]

[...] Those issues were encountered at that time because Ruburt’s abilities thrust them through their surfaces. [...] It did take Ruburt some time to fully understand how his work might perhaps be regarded. [...]

At the same time, he was to be denied his rightful place as a writer (as I’d said earlier), to defend this new position—a position moreover that seemed to change all the time—for beside my books there was Seven, Sumari, and later Cézanne and James. [...]

[...] There is something about a… I seem to sense Billie at this time wearing dark-colored dress, not black, that Jerry might remember, of violet or purple color. [...] At one time it had a white collar that could be detached. [...]

(Jerry said she didn’t see how Billie could have written the note when Jane said she did, in November 1964, since Billie died in 1965 [just two months into the year] and had been unable to write for some time before her death. As we talked however now, Jane said Billie was “still there” and that she now insisted this was the correct time re the note-writing.

(All the while we talked, Jane said Billie was still with us, and that she could have resumed at any time. [...] Supper time was approaching, and so the experimental session ended.

Now words belong to your particular time system. [...] Therefore communication is dependent upon your time system. [...] The placement of emphasis, the vowels and consonants, the length of time to utter them, all of these issues are intimately connected with your own nervous systems, and with the intervals inherent within your time system, between thought and action.

(At 8:55 as we sat for the session Jane got another flash, concerning time, that it is “intensely personal, that we create it,” from Seth. She thought Seth would speak on time this evening, in continuing answer to my question in the 422nd session; concerning the manner in which Seth’s larger entity appreciates our time system.

[...] Time is the pattern of perception. [...] To you, then, time is the result of your perceiving mechanisms. [...]

[...] For that time, he enjoyed the activity. Several times he felt like walking, and he walked for brief periods three or four times. [...]

[...] Beginning the day with the positive suggestions will, as time progresses, reinforce Ruburt’s sense of personal energy and power, and trust of the self. [...]

I said I must deal with the situation according to your individual and joint understanding at any given time. [...]

You could not be consciously aware of those other realities all of the time, and deal with the world that you know. You have several time and space tracks in operation at once, then, but you acknowledge only certain neurological messages physically. Yet there is more to the body than you perceive of it, and this is difficult to explain to you … If you can think of a multidimensional body existing at one time in various realities, and appearing differently within each one while still being whole, then you can get some glimpse of what is involved.³

[...] What I’m getting is that the idea of just one life in any given time is bullshit — the psyche is so rich that it can have more than one life in one time period, like your Nebene and Roman soldier living together in the first century. [...]

[...] You can live more than one life at a time — in your terms now — but that is a loaded sentence. [...] That is, for a brief time, Joseph (Rob) was consciously able to perceive a portion of another existence.

(Indeed, I’ve been worrying a lot lately—at times—about whether we’d even be considered by Blue Cross for the major medical payments—so I’ve also been worrying about what we’d do if this worst scenario came to pass. [...] My fears have been aggravated by the delay in getting our medical records to the insurance company, the length of time it seems to take to get anything resolved—the whole bit. [...]

[...] The time was going fast. [...]

[...] I described to Jane my dream of last night, and asked that Seth comment next time. [...]

(Last night, for perhaps only the second or third time since coming home from the hospital last March, Jane slept through the night, as I did: although I woke up several times to check on her, feeling uneasy that I wasn’t putting her on the commode, etc. In addition, she slept on her left side practically the whole time—very welcome news. [...]

[...] The idea of uprooting our entire lives at this time seems far out—especially, I told her, when she couldn’t even go with me to look at houses. [...] As it is, I don’t understand how I’m to get any work done, help Jane, handle business affairs, change even my driver’s license, and move all at the same time. [...]

[...] We’d had interruptions today—the plumber had had to return to again clean out the sewer line, Jane’s nurse had been here, Peg Gallagher had called, I’d taken time to write Nancy Overton a letter, and so forth. [...]
