“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I told you a long time ago that Seven would be a movie (probably at its time of publication in July, 1973).

[...] It also includes accelerations of releases as the time is ripe. [...]

[...] I simply wanted to make the point that time be allowed for it. [...]

[...] At times now he will feel conflicts, because he wants to do several things at once. [...]

[...] You may be convinced that a given episode is the result of subconscious fabrication, simply because the time sequence is not maintained, and this could be a fine error. [...] Yet you may be straddling time in such an instance, perceiving, say, the room as it was in the 1700’s and the street as it appears in your present. [...]

To a large extent in the physical system, your habit of perceiving time as a sequence forms the type of experience and also limits it. [...] Time, in other words, cannot be counted upon to unify action. [...]

[...] At other times, you may find yourself swept from place to place, with little control. [...]

3. Permanence is not a matter of time. [...]

(I told Jane, before lunch, that at times I see what Seth is talking about, what he’s really saying, quite clearly at times, and that this growing awareness in recent months has had a rather profound effect in my thinking. [...]

[...] I’d tried to counter the worries while working this morning, and had succeeded at times, but the concerns bugged me; each day I look for word in the mail, but it never comes. [...]

(The time went fast as I worked with the mail. [...]

(I’m sure I said more at the time, but they don’t seem to return easily to conscious recall as I finish this session late in the evening. [...]

[...] Now give us time.

[...] Give us time.

It was never, except for the time mentioned, the writing self that Ruburt distrusted, but he feared for the worthiness of his being. [...]

[...] At times it does become invisible to him, so a part of experience that he does not consciously realize it as an idea about his reality, and not a statement of truth regarding his nature.

[...] As session time approached Jane no longer felt nervous. [...]

[...] I have said that consciousness is merely the direction in which the inner self focuses at any particular time. [...]

[...] We also talked of moving the beginning time ahead an hour to 8 PM, at least during the winter months when it gets dark early.

[...] Seth has mentioned this at various times.

[...] She was ironing at the time, and pleasant music was on the radio. She wrote the impressions in an offhand manner, she said, without straining; she had no idea at the time as to whether any of them were correct. [...]

(At supper time this evening I voiced my opinion of the tactics of Jane’s publisher, Frederick Fell, in no uncertain terms, with the rather obvious implication that Seth could comment upon the situation should he care to.

[...] This time however the intended vote of confidence was given emotionally, through smiling gestures and so forth.

(It was now time for the second clairvoyant test with the Gallaghers in Puerto Rico. [...]

Now for some time he did not see that look, and you were doing very well, but you slid back just at a time when he was trying to put the advice in my book to use.

[...] I have taken Ruburt to task many times. [...]

[...] You begin to concentrate upon the negative (underlined three times) aspects of the news in the paper. [...]

[...] But for a long time I’d been aware of other feelings connected with them. Jane had begun delivering the Seth material late in 1963, and soon afterwards Seth started developing his ideas on probabilities.¹ Many times while looking at the snapshots since then I’d found myself speculating about the probable realities surrounding their two young subjects. [...] [And added later: At the time, I had no idea that my questioning would trigger a new Seth book.²]

[...] Precognition in those terms also applies at your birth, when ahead of time you are quite aware on unconscious levels of those conditions that you will meet. You have chosen them and projected them ahead of you, out into the medium of time.

In the other probability, Ruburt’s desire at that time won. [...] In that other probability, there will be no long period of time in which the mystical experience would lie latent, and no necessity at all to put it into new terms.

[...] This experience of his was taking time from your art as well as his own, to his way of thinking. At the same time, the mystical nature rejoiced at its opportunity, and sensed its potential. [...]

Further work with it at this time turns to an introversion with the personal subconscious, and an overinvolvement with it as far as overall focus is concerned. [...] A deeper involvement however at this time serves to focus your energies in a bunch, so to speak, in the personal subconscious, blocking creative energies that come from deeper layers of the inner self. [...]

[...] His viewpoint and his field of reference will at all times color to some extent or another the nature of the reality which he perceives.

[...] At times during the delivery her voice had risen a bit in volume. [...]

[...] She said she felt at times like getting up and pacing about as she talked, even with her eyes closed.

[...] Ruburt had been put in the Protestant day camp for an unfortunate short summer following the grandmother’s death, and later into the Catholic home for a more protracted period of time. [...] There was no distinction made: to be sinful was of course to be a sinner, and in that home there was no time to foster any kind of independence—the children had to follow strict schedules, toe the mark. [...]

[...] By the time he returned home he was quite rigid and moralistic. On the other hand, for the time being he had a very secure belief system against which for quite a full number of years he could test his own mental, emotional and spiritual vigor. [...]

[...] When I repeated the suggestion now she said it regenerated those feelings of panic and/or unease, “but we haven’t time to go into them now, with the session due and all.” [...]

(Long pause at 9:56.) He spent a good deal of time on his knees, then, doing penance when he did not fit into that structure. [...]

(By the time the Pipers had asked their third question of the board, concerning the name of the communicant they had raised, Fred Lake, Jane had received this name mentally. She did not tell the Pipers, but she had the whole name in mind by the time the pointer had moved to the letter F. She was quite surprised, and has never had the experience before, although it has been some months since either of us watched others working the board—indeed, since the Seth material began to flow. [...]

(Jane began dictating on time, and in a quiet and normal voice. [...]

Study and practice with psychological time will show you the validity and strength of that inner self, so that you will clearly see that it is not completely bound to the so-called objective universe by any means. [...]

Recognition of many of the facts that we are discussing this evening will be of benefit in your psychological time experiences.

I realize that you have both been busy, and that these sessions themselves take time. Make an effort, however, at least a few times a week to try the library together. Only a few moments are necessary to find out whether the time is auspicious or not.

As a matter of fact, as mentioned many times, the past itself is not finished. [...]

[...] It is, therefore, the focus of your attention that delineates your time period, and provides a psychological stance from which you will then view all other selves, or all other experiences of your entity. [...]

[...] Some of the dreams did involve other probabilities, however, in which members of your family died at different times than in your world, as with the dream involving Loren (my younger brother).

(On Friday, February 21, Jane and I not only saw the hill house from the inside for the first time — but decided to buy it. [...] Of course we knew what Seth had suggested during last Wednesday’s session, and his advice was valuable; at the same time we’d been strongly inclined to make the purchase after looking at the house anew that Wednesday afternoon. [...]

[...] A period of gestation lasting well over two weeks had to follow, though, before we understood what we’d seen; during that time we investigated perhaps 35 other places.¹

[...] Many of the children are grown, and the adults have more time to think and ponder. [...]

[...] At some time I will give you information discussing the reasons why some people, after being flooded in one location, then move to another equally threatening environment.

[...] Nor has Jane had that much time to provide notes of her own.

[...] The past and future of any given event provides a kind of thickness, a kind of depth-in-time. [...]

[...] People who are not writers or artists, or poets or musicians, often suddenly find themselves almost transformed for a brief period of time — suddenly struck by a poem or a song or a snatch of music, or by a sketch — that seems to come from nowhere, that seems to emerge outside of the context of usual thought patterns, and that brings with it an understanding, a joy, a compassion, or an artistic bent that seemingly did not exist a moment earlier. [...]

[...] At the same time I understand your need for some kind of precise terminology, even while I know that in certain terms the more “precise” I become for your benefit, the more we may miss of greater issues that escape such boundaries. [...]

[...] At times it was almost a bass voice, quite vibrant, produced without visible strain. [...]

[...] This marked the first time she had switched focus so easily, repeatedly. [...]

I am interested in adding now to our own discussions, for it is time that we enlarged both their quality and scope. [...]

[...] I am willing at any time to render whatever services I can so render, but I do not walk ghostily through your rooms; and most certainly I do not peek through the windows.

[...] All concepts and ideas in the first place, referring to a continuous forward progression of time distort all reincarnational experiences as a rule. [...] I can say that I traveled in Rome at about the time of Christ. [...]

[...] “Magical” changes happen all the time. [...] Framework 1 looks to time, and particularly the past, as authority.

[...] At the same time he thought himself liberal-minded, he repeatedly couched Seth’s ideas in the terms used by the respected, well-known members of his profession. [...]

[...] At the same time, we end up wishing we’d done exactly that, so we feel caught in some ways that we don’t think others have to bother with, or understand in life.

[...] It will serve a purpose and be a reality in your time. In a like manner can personality structures be of assistance and be realities to you within your time, although they have long since entered other dimensions.

Now because the spacious present exists, in other terms, these selves are actually in all places at one time. As you seem to approach different dimensions however, then you seem to approach a personality who exists at the time of your perception of him.

[...] In quotes: “By the time” this realization comes, inner value fulfillment has already created new realities. [...]

[...] Your mother, I believe, was aware of this or mentioned it to you at the time. [...]

[...] “Fuck you, Seth!” one girl screamed — which daunted that worthy not at all: Class members hardly agree with Seth or anyone else all of the time. [...] She also took time to sing very delicately in Sumari, in contrast to Seth’s powerful deliveries. [...] Class lasted from 7 P.M. until after midnight, and by the time it was over everyone involved was, if not exhausted, certainly well exercised emotionally. [...]

[...] If for simplicity’s sake you think of other realities as different cities, then after you leave your own you would pass through the suburbs, then into the country, then after a time into other suburbs until you reached another metropolis. [...]

[...] These are all playing at the same time. [...]

[...] As he falls asleep some night our grocer, Wilford, might suddenly hear the full strains of a symphony in his head, or instead catch a quick glimpse of a football player; or on the other hand one of the musicians in the symphony orchestra may suddenly find himself thinking about how difficult it would be to have a mistress and a wife at the same time.

(9:55.) I am making a distinction here between such conversion experience and genuine mystic understanding,¹ which may also come in a flash of time. [...]

(Pause.) Love, as it is often experienced, allows an individual to take his sense of self-worth from another for a time, and to at least momentarily let the other’s belief in his goodness supersede his own beliefs in lack of worth. [...]

[...] Since she has written Ruburt several times, he was aware of the situation. [...]

[...] All of this may sound exotic to some of you, and be only too real to others, but any time that you assign elements of your experience to exterior sources, you are really doing the same thing that Dineen did.

(Now Jane perched on the back of the couch as she talked, and remained there for some time. [...] This could not be done, since at this time the road is classed as private, and must be maintained by whoever lives on the property.)

[...] For a time the left hand also felt as though it were lifting out of itself in a doubled-up position. [...]

(Jane has also been trying contemplation, and has observed the beginnings of a few achievements, after a long period without success in psychological time.

[...] Their expansion is not limited by any of your known, or misinterpreted, laws of space or time or thermodynamics, since they exist in a dimension where such laws simply do not apply.
