“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] We do not exist in any time framework as you know it. [...] We are quite aware of the time situations within other systems, however, and we must take them into account in our communications. [...]

I told you that we do not experience your time sequence. [...]

[...] You rationalize away quite legitimate intuitive perception at such times. [...]

[...] Your own time structure misleads you into your ideas of the relative permanency of physical matter, and you close your eyes to the constant alterations within it. [...]

[...] At times during it I’d felt somewhat overwhelmed, thinking of what we still had to learn and accomplish, as well as about what we hadn’t learned in the past: Why was it all taking so long? [...] But the session was very good, I saw, and at the same time I felt a renewed hope.)

[...] In the past, however, those methods seemed to make sense: if you believe that the self is sinful or deceptive, then you must indeed set up barriers so that you allow expression while monitoring it very carefully at the same time. [...]

(Long pause.) I do not want to give you too much charged material in a concentrated period of time. [...]

[...] While having at the same time the freedom to choose those beliefs—to choose your mental state in a way that the animals for example do not. [...]

The whole area of work, time, inspiration and protection should be explored, and kept in the open, and Ruburt should write some kind of statement that expresses his understanding of the matter thus far, and states his questions. Try to arrange it so that the walking periods still give each of you, say, a certain amount of time between for your creative pursuits. [...]

In some cases the individual’s money or jewels are not even available to them themselves, but hidden in the bank’s deep vaults, behind all kinds of barriers and hidden time locks that must be cared for by bank attendants. [...]

[...] With such an edifice, Ruburt can only use his abilities under certain conditions, and he imagines all kinds of impulses, situations, or whatever, that might steal them away, or steal away the time necessary to express them. [...]

[...] As given in the last session, the cost of running the security system was finally becoming too great, and at different times strong efforts were made to dispense with it. [...]

[...] It usually involves spending a certain amount of time at a job, for which you receive financial payment. Most work involves consecutive thinking, in terms of time. [...]

(1. Does Jane’s inherently mystical nature give rise to conflicts with the non-mystical world she finds herself in this time around? [...]

(2. I found myself wondering if my own attitudes might have strongly influenced Jane’s early psychic behavior in ways neither of us suspected—that she may have inhibited certain elements of her abilities because she feared my own ideas about distractions, time, failure, etc. [...]

[...] Continue your program, and when the suggestions have been pared down into a clearer kind of statement, then Ruburt should indeed—alone this time—read that material after lunch.

[...] Maybe, I thought, we needed time to recover from the emotions of the last few days especially. [...]

(In no time at all Jane’s Seth voice had moved closer and closer to tears.)

(“Well,” I said several times, wherever she is now, I sure hope your mother understands what she did to you. [...]

(I tried to reassure her several times. [...]

Your own choice will dictate the way you die, as well as the time. [...]

[...] For various reasons, you hold beliefs that you can alter at any time. [...]

Individual reactions follow this innate knowledge, for while man fears the unleashed power of nature and tries to protect himself from it, he revels in it and identifies with it at the same time. [...]

[...] At the same time such experiences themselves provide contact with the deepest energies of your being — even when they are being used “destructively.”

Your own abilities, Joseph, have been at a plateau level, from which they will begin to rise, at which time another plateau will be reached, and the process continued. Such plateau levels are beneficial to the whole personality, since they allow time for adoptions.

(Jane has been improving in her psychological time experiments since Seth advised her that she was trying too hard in the 178th session. [...]

[...] This time the double envelopes contained a black and white photo I took of Jane at York Beach, ME, a little over a year ago this month. [...]

Within, I believe, three months after the book is accepted, another book will be assured; and then at that time, or very shortly after, it will be contracted for.

Dictation: (Time, less than five minutes)

through time’s corridors,

(I now asked Seth: “Can you say a little bit about Sue’s first question, about the astral body of the fetus?” Jane had read Sue’s questions some time earlier, but she didn’t know I was going to ask any of the questions this evening.)

There is great energy connected with the fetus, for at no other time in physical life is so much energy utilized so purposefully and so well directed. [...]

[...] There is, at this time, however, a very strong connection between the two. [...]

[...] There are no real divisions to the self, though you may feel at times self-divided.

(Jane pointed to John.) At times our friend has sensed this portion of the self. [...]

[...] Jane’s eyes had been open some of the time, very dark; her pace had been rather fast, her voice a bit stronger than usual.)

[...] I would like you to attend to your lives as they otherwise appear before you, for a period of time to return to sessions because of your natural living curiosity and involvement with them, and to attend most of all to creative thought as it naturally makes itself known. [...]

Such an approach at this time is a good one. [...]

[...] Dorothy never did come down to see Jane for the reasons Seth mentioned—Cathy saw Jane a few times and that was that —Jane ended up in the hospital in a few weeks.)

[...] Jane has read the session before, of course, but she read it once more and did very well indeed, as good as she had the first time, saying the type was very clear and bright at times. Her reading has been consistently far better than it used to be, even when she has a comparatively rough time with it. [...]

[...] “That’s the first time I’ve done that. [...] No doubt about it, good things were taking place, new things that had her upset and anticipatory at the same time. [...]

[...] I didn’t get to 330 until after 2:00 PM because I had a dental appointment; and from then on we were so busy the time passed like a breeze. [...]

[...] All of the time she was half-crying and breathing hard. [...]

[...] Time constantly expands in all directions and along every conceivable point. [...] (Long pause.) The idea of counterparts was meant to lead you beyond time-oriented reincarnational ideas.

[...] Jane was somewhat “out of it”, or better, by session time.)

At the same time, because of Ruburt’s own purposes, they were perfectly preserved—not for instance attacked in any fashion, but in many ways isolated from the rest of bodily activity.

[...] You cannot live in a safe universe and an unsafe one at the same time. [...]

[...] He spent some time in Constantinople at the time of the Crusades. [...]

[...] Before I got back inside the apartment our paperboy arrived; by the time I finished paying him Jane was out of trance. [...]

[...] The simple consciousness of atoms, cells, and organs continues to exist, after the main consciousness has left, for some time.

At one time — in your terms — I myself acted as such a guide; as in a sleep state Ruburt now follows the same road. [...]

Nor is such an inner decision forced upon the conscious personality, for in all such instances, the conscious personality has at various times come close to accepting the idea of death at the particular time in life.

I have referred to them at various times as animal medicine men, for man did learn from them. The impact of many of my statements of the past goes unrecognized, or perhaps the words sound pat, but there are other conditions of life that you do not perceive, sometimes because your time sequences are too different. [...]

[...] For one thing, your concepts of time, realistically or practically speaking, as utilized, would become more difficult to maintain in normal life. [...]

Give us a moment… If we must speak in terms of continuity, which I regret, then in those terms you could say that life in the physical universe, on your planet, “began” spontaneously in a given number of species at the same time. [...]

[...] (This never happened, incidentally, though the impressions given were not always as specific as we would have liked.) Actually I didn’t care what was in the envelopes—I just wanted to know if Seth could tell us, and I wanted him to be absolutely right each time. [...] Now I wonder that Seth was able to do anything with me at all in those days, but most of the time he managed to do very well indeed.

This procedure left me knowing only one thing about the object: that it was from some section of The New York Times, date unknown. [...] It turned out to be pages 11—12 of Section One of the Times for Sunday, November 6, 1966.

[...] In The New York Times test, Rob himself didn’t know what was on the test object. [...] Sometimes Rob would use such an envelope at once; at other times he would save it for a future session.

[...] The tests just became time-consuming, cutting down on the amount of theoretical material we could receive. [...] If so, we were wasting his time and our own. [...]

There are several kinds of time that will appear within your dreams, and you must sort these out carefully. While sleeping in your present time, you may have a dream that concerns your past, with events that you know to have occurred years ago. [...]

As mentioned previously, we will also deal with the nature of space, time and distance, as they appear in the dream environment. [...] Here the ego cannot go, but it can benefit from the information, and perhaps in time, even a shadow of the ego may pass through that strange land and feel in some small way at home.

[...] At the same time, Seth began to send me on out-of-body journeys during some sessions and to offer, on his own, other instances of “paranormal” activity.

Third, we were involved in vigorous subjective activity as we began to experiment with Seth’s psy-time regularly and to follow his suggestions concerning dream investigation, recall and utilization. [...]

Your conception of time is dependent upon your perception of action, and that portion of action which you can perceive and appreciate. There is no doubt here that the intuitions can at times perceive action far more completely than can the intellect. And time, therefore, physical clock time, is much more alien to the intuitive self than it is to the intellectual self.

[...] She sat much of the time with a hand raised to her face. [...]

(The candle flame had maintained its increased height very steadily until close to break time, when I thought it began to fluctuate a bit. [...]

(It was now time for the 24th Dr. Instream test. [...]

[...] At one time with five particular people, talking to them. At an earlier time there were more people in the room, a small crowd. [...]

[...] Also, since it had been quite a hot day, Jane watered the plant again at supper time—something she usually doesn’t do at that time of day.

(Jane had been housecleaning, and to air the place out all the windows were open, still, at session time. [...]

[...] In spontaneous projections you may become conscious in form number one, legitimately project, return to the ordinary dream state, and project again several times. [...]

At certain times, and most particularly at the birth of medical science in modern times, the belief in inoculation, if not by the populace then by the doctors, did possess the great strength of new suggestion and hope — but I am afraid that scientific medicine has caused as many new diseases as it has cured. [...]

[...] Seth-Jane was certainly busy on all of those Monday and Saturday nights, though, and came through with another separate series of sessions after I inserted the 806th session into Mass Events — 17 of them this time, as compared to the 10 sessions delivered before the 806th was held. [...]

[...] The problem — the challenge — would be to find the physical time to do the necessary editing and notes to put such a manuscript in shape for publication; this would be a job that could easily take a year. [...]

[...] Over the telephone three days later, Tam suggested that Jane do a children’s book, or one for “readers of all ages,” based on her dream about Emir;² the next day he called again, this time to give her the delightful news that he’d accepted James for publication.
