“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] At the same time she was waiting for the phone to ring. [...] It stopped ringing however after three times, long before I could get over to answer it.

[...] She sat leaning back in her rocker, very relaxed, eyes closed; at last she told me she got a whole lot of stuff that time.

[...] It wasn’t as great as the time I went through the house next door, but this tunnel was very long and I went into another universe. [...]

(In the same average voice she began: “In the shadow of the image organized religion [at the same time my hands want to fly up], after it has been set up, has always been afraid of revelationary knowledge; to protect itself; and the Catholic Church in particular cast it in the form of a devil, which I was taught: the sin of pride, wanting to learn.”

[...] “Here my part in the thing is done, but you’ve got to live with it for a long time yet while you do the notes and typing. I wish there was some way each book could be turned into print instantly, so that we could go on to the next one … I can’t help it — every time Seth finishes a book I feel like crying.”

[...] I’ve said it before, I know, but this book started when we were thinking of moving, and now we’re settled in a new place, so that makes a good time to end it.”

[...] You’ll need time to finish the notes and do all that typing….”¹)

[...] At the same time, I was thinking as I wrote that Seth’s sentence, above: “You cannot understand perceived events unless you understand who perceives them,” embodied one of his best ideas in “Unknown” Reality.)

[...] Actually “time,” in quotes, exists as the pulses leap the nerve ends. [...] Past, present and future appear highly convincing and logical when there must be a lapse of time between each perceived experience.

[...] Growth and challenge is provided not in terms of achievement or development in time, but instead in terms of intensities. Such a personality is able, in your terms, not only to react and appreciate event A, say, in your present time, but also to experience and understand event A in all of its ramifications, and all of its probabilities.

[...] Your idea of space and time then is definitely determined by your neurological structure.

Now your time, your past, present and future, as you conceive of them, would be experienced entirely as present to many of these other personality structures. [...]

[...] I said I didn’t know how she would — or could — at this time. [...]

[...] Instead I saw the fevers and infections, and realized that those events meant the time for healing and walking was not now.

[...] I concluded that my asking questions was a waste of time, and stopped doing so. [...]

[...] To some extent or another, you have both been afraid of making any plans at all concerning Ruburt’s return home, because they seem impractical at the present time. [...]

[...] He bowed his dark head for just a moment then lifted it, those soft eyes now … softer and harder at the same time; his hands moved in rhythm with the music; his whole body was a marvel of motion; shoulders, head, arms, chest — his whole trunk, responding to the music. [...]

[...] Or haven’t you ever known that the doorbell would ring just before it did, or that you’d meet someone you hadn’t seen in a long time just before you actually do meet?”

[...] “Like the New York Times ad test with Seth you two did and wrote up in The Seth Material. [...]

[...] Smiling, hearty, Seth talked about magic and cause and effect, but at the same time he demonstrated a magic that is beyond the clever manipulation of appearances. [...]

[...] In time—in your time—you will dispense even with the sounds. [...]

What is your experience at any given time without reliance upon words and labels? [...]

[...] While you think, “I am man, a member of a certain species, inhabiting a planet named Earth in this space and in this time,” then you place artificial barriers between you and your perceptions. [...]

(Sumari spoke to class for some time, individually and collectively, using chants and particular characterizations. [...]

9. In the physics of elementary particles, time reversal, or symmetry, is a basic concept. I’ll make two references to Volume 1: In Session 682, after 9:47, Seth told us that in our terms his CU’s, or units of consciousness, “can move forward or backward in time. But they can also move into thresholds of time with which you are not familiar.” In Session 702, Seth discussed relationships involving electron spin and the direction, or flow, of time; also see Note 6 for that session.

(The day after this session, Jane greatly enlarged upon her original estimate — three hours — of the time she’d need to interpret the long or slow sounds. [...] Because of our ordinary time sense the sounds were actually so slow to us that they appeared to be motionless, or “dead,” she told me, leading us to speculate that this may be one of the reasons why in usual terms we call inanimate matter — rocks, for instance — “dead.” [...]

[...] Most of that material hasn’t been published, although in Chapter 17 of The Seth Material Jane described Seth Two to some extent, including “his, hers, or its” intimate connections with Seth: the subjective pyramid or cone effects she experiences just above her head when contacting Seth Two; and the great energy she feels at such times. [...]

(Now to recap the situation leading up to tonight’s [612th] session: At supper time Jane encountered some relaxation effects⁶ — so much so, in fact, that she had to lay down briefly in the midst of preparing the meal. [...]

Infinity has nothing to do with space or time as you know it. [...] Infinity has to do with value fulfillment, and the unfoldings of ever new possibilities, the exploration of moment points, the traveling through dimensions that ever creates the illusion of time. But since there is no time, what is there to end?

[...] All of this seemed to take no time at all. [...] You had experienced centuries, yet only an hour of your time had passed. [...]

Now: In your time scheme you see yourself at a certain age, within a given set of circumstances. [...]

[...] At times these personalities do aid their own and give instructions.

[...] We will try to fill you in on times and dates and locations later.

[...] This time the personality is John’s wife, being cared for, you see, rather than caring for; being physically dependent. [...]

This time he plays that part and is completely immersed in it. [...]

[...] In order for the personality to see its own past activities clearly, it felt that it had to adopt a position of dependency this time.

(The time given above is misleading, since no session was actually held tonight. It instead represents the time I went out to the card table to join Jane and wait for one to begin.

[...] Momentarily she’d dozed at the card table; she got the name several times, just as she spelled it. [...]

[...] “God, I’m scared,” she said several times, but couldn’t say why she felt that way, at first. [...]

[...] She’s far from being accepted by the ruling elite of our country, at least at this time. [...]

[...] The main one concerned whether Jane’s natural mystical nature had helped her in her times of need; I was most curious to know if this help had been given. Seth replied several times that “the answer has already been given in the early part of tonight’s session, by inference. That is the best answer I can give at this time. [...]

[...] You can specifically say that this has to do with what you call your psychic work, but even before “it” began he was aware of that energy of his, concerned about using it, focusing it, delighted with it, and afraid of it at the same time.

Even in his poetry, before our work, it always led him at certain times way beyond “himself.” [...]

[...] (Taurus.) It is one, for reasons incidentally that I will give you at a later time, that brings the flowering of ability in later years, and that also provides, when strong talents are present, a conservative countering measure.

[...] Her pace was quite slow at times, her voice quiet.)

Now there is an emotional rapport, set up of course within some time, that exists between these persons. [...]

[...] Her voice was stronger than usual, her pace quite slow by break time.

(Jane was again smoking when she resumed, and this time I could see that her eyes were narrowly open. [...]

7. As an artist, my intuitive reaction to Seth’s remark that an atom can move in more than one direction at once was to associate that ability with his notions of simultaneous time and probabilities. [...] At the same time he realizes that from his artistic viewpoint he may not be able to understand the paradox of “contradictory” motions.

[...] It’s as though Seth’s going to have a hard time explaining them.”)

[...] In your reality, experience is dependent upon time, but all experience is not so structured. [...]

[...] You follow these through a time structure. [...]

“I come here as though I appeared through a hole in space and time. There are walks in space and time through which you can travel, and in dreams you have been where I am. [...]

[...] Seth addressed himself to the students for the first time, yet he touched upon several issues that appear often in the Seth Material: The personality is multidimensional. The individual is basically free of space and time. [...]

I was so used to thinking of myself as a physical creature, bound to space and time, that I almost refused to accept the evidence of my own experience. [...]

[...] I berated myself at times, thinking that even my Irish grandmother would have found spirits in the living room rather hard to take—and I used to think she was superstitious! [...]

Sometimes Rob prepared the envelopes just before a session, and sometimes way ahead of time. [...] Pieces of paper Rob picked up in the streets, leaves, beer coasters, chunks of hair, photographs, sketches, bills—all were used at one time or another. [...] Other times he purposely used neutral objects. [...]

In the meantime, I’d left my gallery job and was writing full-time. [...] The editor turned down story after story, assuring me each time that I was certain to sell him the next one. [...]

I had just enough time to see the cab driver’s neck from the rear—it was thick and stubby. [...]

[...] And consider this puzzler: Granted my consciousness traveled from Elmira to San Juan in space, what about time? [...]

[...] Remember some time ago I mentioned your feeling about oils and the emotions. [...] At such times you became more alarmed working with your oils and colors, and wanted a retreat, and sought for greater distance in your paintings.

[...] You do not dare allow your intuitions full reign even when you paint at such times for fear that they will carry up with them these repressed feelings.

[...] At the same time you adopted a more hard line in your relationship with those in the family, trying to avoid all emotional situations which might trigger a release of the repressed feelings.

[...] On the other hand of course Ruburt also expected you to come up with and initiate the noncontact behavior when he felt that your relationship was getting too close for comfort, that his physical love for you might lead him some time to neglect consciously or unconsciously proper contraceptive behavior.

He and your other brother who died at 9 were in Europe for at least part of the same time, though Loren died at a fat and sassy monkish 81. [...] He has been a male three times. [...]

[...] Downstairs was a shop owned by your brother’s father, who was not your father this time. [...]

[...] This time you know him well. [...]

Loren was 3 times a man. [...]

[...] This time I change the events from the way they happened the first time, realize how important his problems are to him, smile and send him good thoughts. [...]

At the same time, however, you must understand that these probable selves were also created because of your own great hopes, hopes you felt you could fall far short of; so they were ‘born’ with the same hopes that you had at that time, but they were personalities that were overburdened with fears.

You had planned for this as a temporary arrangement — six months, at most, to save money — then you were going to paint full time. Instead, however, you stayed, supposedly to aid your parents, but this was largely an excuse because you were afraid to take the chance and paint full-time and also afraid to give up the regular money, even though you had no rent to pay.

On Friday, October 9, 1970, I received a letter from a reader, Peg Boyles, about my book The Seth Material. With it she included an excerpt from Living Time by Maurice Nicoll, and another from a manuscript by Alice Bailey. [...]

[...] I haven’t been getting in much painting time for the past week. [...]

[...] These clues are seemingly oddly assorted ones involving such issues as cheesecake, the repair of an old chair, old photographs and a photography shop, and the meeting of an old acquaintance after some period of time. [...]

[...] Perhaps Curt didn’t have much time to spare either, for when I did get a minute to talk, I saw him going out the front door. [...]

It is highly important, however, that you read those sessions over together, and discuss them, even if only one session at a time. [...]

[...] At the same time she was experiencing so many beneficial bodily changes that she didn’t feel like concentrating. The evening was also quite hot and humid — with the temperature over 80 degrees at session time — and this bothered her considerably. [...]

[...] She rests in bed mid-morning and mid-afternoon for a half hour or so, working part of the time on notes, poetry, etc.

[...] The reasoning mind defines, makes judgments, deals with the physical objects of the world, and also with the cultural interpretations current in its time.

[...] They overreact, or overmobilize, using a disproportionate amount of energy and time for defense, and taking energies away from other projects. [...]
