“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“I was going back to bed when my last lines suddenly reminded me that I still feel the way I did when I was a young girl; that some part of the dawn does come for me; personally; and that to some extent time didn’t exist before I was born. [...] And with me, I brought time. This happens when anyone is born, but most people don’t feel it — or don’t seem to … Together all of us on earth form time and contribute to its design and to history. [...]

(At about the time that personal session was held, we’d been reading a book on the lives of some of the well-known mystics of the past. [...] “I don’t have a vision every time I want to do something important.

[...] Without going into Seth’s ideas that time is simultaneous, or that any endeavor is creative, the kinds of origins I’m discussing here wouldn’t have any beginning or end. [...]

Even in his poetry, before our work, Ruburt’s energy led him way beyond “himself” at certain times. [...]

[...] The force, the basic vitality of the whole personality, has been gathered together, or rather is just being united for the first time in this existence. (Jane, as Seth, pointed at me for emphasis.) And for the first time in any existence.

[...] Jane began speaking in trance in a voice a bit stronger and more forceful then usual; her eyes opened a good deal of the time.)

You will always find that Ruburt’s writings are precise barometers, giving excellent indications as to his inner state of mind; showing also the quality and direction of his beliefs at any given time.

[...] In the poetry you have seen for some time now an indication of acceptance and of belief. [...]

[...] She did have feelings of panic to a milder degree at times throughout the day.

[...] Frank Longwell visited later this afternoon, and applied to Jane’s legs and back a heating device he’d lent us some time ago. [...]

[...] We waited a long time for the session to begin. [...]

(Long pause.) Ruburt has at times gone overboard in a feeling of responsibility toward those who write in need. [...]

Now, if you want organization then you shall have it—at any time. You structure your own existence and you choose those realities that have exactly as much organization as you need at any given time. [...]

[...] I have done it too in my time, and there is a good reason for it. [...]

[...] At the rate you are going, it will take you some time! [...]

Now, when you properly understand how to use psychological time, then to some extent you can learn to alter the nature, the focus, of your consciousness. [...]

Now: If you want organization then you shall have it — at any time. You structure your own existence, and you choose those realities that have exactly as much organization as you need at any given time.

(On two occasions within the last week—Saturday and Sunday—Jane walked for the first time in at least a year. She took a few steps without the aid of her table or chair each time—very encouraging progress for her, and fitting in with what Seth has had to say recently about her coming spontaneous urges to begin walking again. [...] The last session is particularly good in that respect, dealing as it does with the stages of the healing process, the gradual lessening of discomfort each time such a bodily process takes place, etc.

[...] Those beliefs, of course, include the experience of time as a steady progression from past to future. Time, in those terms, is simply part of another kind of event.

[...] Change in sleep patterns are beneficial also, because quite without knowing it you automatically tune your consciousness to the time of day, relating to it in a certain fashion, and the night work offers a releasing pattern, an alternating current almost.

[...] “I got such good information through,” Jane said, “that I thought the session lasted much longer—I felt way out, as though I was transcending time, like I was tuning in to a nugget of information that seemed endless. [...]

[...] Her arms were longer, as they had been for some time now. [...] At the same time her upper legs above the knees were “soft and mushy,” while below the knees the muscles were hard and tight. [...]

[...] Still at various times and throughout the period, he used what he thought of as that additional protection: the symptoms kept him inside, where it seemed he could indeed express himself with the least duress. At the same time he was learning that expression denied at one level means expression denied to some extent at all levels (louder)—so that of course his creative work also suffered to some degree. [...]

[...] I’ve wanted to try to film Jane reading poetry in the meantime, but each time I think of asking her —usually at night—I can see that she’s so uncomfortable that I let it go.

You knew ahead of time the kind of world you would be entering. [...]

[...] She’d been quite uncomfortable at times, especially in the legs. [...] We noticed increased redness, also, around the nails of the other fingers on the left hand, but that situation had prevailed to varying degrees for a long time.

[...] Her doctor, Marsha Kardon, had had her admitted at supper time the day before [May 20, Thursday] because the middle finger of Jane’s left hand had begun to turn blue from the last joint to the nail. [...]

[...] At the same time it began to feel colder than the others, and Jane had pain in the palm of her hand and midway up her arm, on the outside and underneath—these points forming a rather straight pathway down to the finger, we noted. [...]

[...] Visitors were supposed to leave by 9 PM, but I stayed until 10:30: I was groggy by that time.

[...] So here again the penis difficulty, for he sat home full time writing, while you work part time, and yet he has not made all that money.

(Jane speaks very rapidly, eyes open most of the time. [...]

I would not like the matter of the sessions in general, and the subconscious influence question, to go by the board however, and in one way or another we must find time for those matters.

First of all, all this is connected with the question of discipline and spontaneity of sessions, for I could have spoken at any time.

[...] By the time break arrived, her delivery had become quite slow and deliberate. [...] She resumed in the same manner; indeed her delivery became even slower and more careful and deliberate, so that at times she would pace from one end of our living room, where we hold the sessions, to the other end before voicing the next word. [...]

[...] But the amount of material obtained will alone show that Jane spoke very slowly for much of the time. [...]

[...] The times of sessions may change, adjustments being made for various reasons. [...]

The actual material that seems to make up the object has completely disappeared many times, and the pattern been completely filled again with new matter.

[...] As I have told you again, and time and time again: Basically there is no such thing as murder, for consciousness continues. [...]

[...] As I believe I told you before I have been both a man and a woman many times. [...] I have been ignorant many times. [...]

Now, when you spoke of your friend last time, I told you to distrust easy answers. [...]

You may be a follower, and there are many followers, and it is necessary at times to follow. [...]

[...] At times it became louder, but never approached the volume of the 158th session, for example. [...] I had to ask Seth to slow down several times during the first part of the session.

(Times noted indicate when Jane was in trance and when she came out of the state. [...] Her voice was fairly strong as before, and very briefly at times it hit a stronger volume. [...]

For my own enjoyment I use such tricks at times. [...] The voice can occur at any time, but it is hardly the kind of evidence with which, Doctor, you are concerned.

[...] This interlude was longer than we had anticipated, and after the talk had dealt with matters psychic for some little time Jane announced that she felt uneasy. [...]

[...] While the voice was not as unique—as low in pitch or as resounding, as it has been on some occasions—it was definitely apparent at times during the session and sometimes it was quite startling. This is the first time in some while that the voice has come through, incidentally. [...]

[...] No one asked Seth to do so and, of course, all this time he was speaking through me in this voice of his. [...]

[...] This simply was: I could not critically comment on it at the time. [...]

[...] I was in no condition to offer or indeed to make any critical judgement at the time, and Seth was fully focused in delivering the statement to the students, however. [...]

[...] She added that they hadn’t been frequent for some time. [...] “but you’ve just got to assert yourself when they happen at such times. [...]

(Two noteworthy events should be noted: Peggy Gallagher visited for the first time in a number of days. [...]

[...] Christine is still next door, and sounding off, calling loudly at times for Georgie.

[...] The time went rapidly. [...]

[...] But if you don’t spend the time to do it on your own, you won’t get results. So it’s up to  you as to how much time you want to spend. [...] is that I’m also sending stuff out to some of the regular members in class who are working hard and to whom I dont have time to speak in class. [...]

[...] With the Black Thing, those of you who remember the Seth Material and the Black Thing, which was representative of my fears at that time and that I had created them and reacted to them. [...]

[...] So that we can work on Florence in the time when she’ll be here the next week to report and know what’s going on. [...]

(Later I told Jane of a remark Frank Longwell had made the other day, after I’d explained to him that she’d been having a very rough time this month. [...] Both of us have had the thought at times, but Frank’s spontaneous remark hit the mark just right.

[...] She seemed to lay in bed more easily, and referred to the experience several times through the afternoon. [...]

[...] I made notes and helped her have a cigarette until it was time to get ready to turn her at 4:30.

[...] I also mentioned several times that I’d like to have her return to the house. [...]

[...] This time he came back and was a son to you. [...] This time you are listening. [...]

[...] At the time curly brown hair. [...]

[...] This time he is truly free for he feels you understand. [...]

[...] At the same time almost I realized quite clearly that I’d made a mistake; I hadn’t done anything wrong and the position was needless. [...] This same process—with different positions in bed—happened four or five times, each time with the discomfort vanishing just about instantly. [...]

(Jane began dictation on time, in a voice that was pitched just a little lower than usual. [...]

There may be the appearance of a time lapse of one kind or another between mental actions and their appearance or projection into other systems, but this is a distortive effect. [...]

These therefore for all intents and purposes close ranks, encompassing the three systems and accepting no further additions at this given time. [...]

[...] During break she mentioned that she wanted to know if she could resume practicing psychological time for half an hour a day, instead of fifteen minutes. [...]

(While trying psychological time on Wednesday, September 9, 8:15 PM, I had, after reaching a pleasant state, the rather strange sensation of having my legs pulled or stretched, as though some force was trying to elongate them. [...] It had some duration also; I had plenty of time to lightly explore the sensation.

(Seth began referring to mental enclosures, mental enzymes, etc., many many sessions ago, at the same time he began to give the information on the inner senses. By the time the 20th session was held these discussions of such material were in full swing.)

Now this is what you attempt when you experiment with psychological time, when your communication comes through the inner rather than the outer senses. [...]

[...] It was the first time she could remember that any outside influences had made themselves felt while she was dictating.
