“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] You let them escape you half the time. [...]

[...] Now, it does no good to take ten minutes a day and give yourself good suggestions and say, “I am brave, I am strong, I am healthy and young and rich” and spend the rest of the time saying to yourself, “I am poor, I am getting old, I feel sore, or it is a cruddy world.” [...]

[...] Every time you say, I am helpless, and I am slipping into chaos, whether you get laughs or not, or whether you say it humorously or not, you are indeed pushing yourself further into the chaos you are creating with every breath you take because you make no effort to change the nature of your thoughts and this is what you must do, exert your own control. [...]

[...] I am telling you that when you indulge in such thoughts for a period of time so that they become habitual then you must change them and no one can do this but yourself. [...]

(Seth speaking to Sharon W. after she told of feeling her father’s presence for some time.)

[...] I have had some time with it through past lives, and found it very handy, indeed, so I am not prejudiced. [...]

(To Gert.) I did not mean that you could skip over the story line the first time, only that you did not need to re-read it. [...]

([Gert:] “Will the pendulum or psy-time or dreams help us to find this out?”)

At the time, one of the reasons for the two split personality fragments was the power of the struggle going on at that time. [...]

[...] In any case by the time that this goal is reached on the earthly plane, those who have passed from it will have evolved in ways of which even I can only dream. [...]

[...] She almost recognized them because of the circumstances and your illness, and because of the peculiar vitality of your conflicting emotions at the time.

[...] At the same time these fragments contained your intellect, and therefore they partially recognized you and Jane.

[...] It was unfortunately a cue point, and itself the time bomb of which Ruburt spoke. [...]

[...] He expects the wrath of God to fall upon them at any time. [...]

[...] I have literally held his personality together for some time, in relative balance. [...]

His mother’s letter (received last week, and containing an old picture of her), followed by the weekend visit (with the Crowders and my parents), was the trigger point this time. [...]

[...] I usually write these preliminary notes before the session to save time. [...]

[...] This, in time, will not bother us. [...]

[...] She used many pauses other than those indicated, and said she was aware of the traffic noise at times. [...]

[...] The idea of tests somewhat upsets him, but this can be overcome without too much difficulty in time.

You had no problems with parents in the past, and my dear Yo-yo, you were an excellent father to me at one time, and if I may say so at one time I was an excellent father to you.

[...] The time will come at a much later date when you will allow such material entry into your conscious state directly—that is, without the need to project it visually, since here a certain amount of distortion is almost always present.

[...] Ruburt’s mind is an excellent one, and well given to serve our needs at this time. [...]

[...] I know you are waiting to hear more about your own particular function, but remember we are still condemned to the use of words, and Ruburt can only say so much at a time.

(In the opening notes for last Wednesday’s session I described how Jane had started her new book, Psychic Politics, that same day while she had been immersed in a state of high creativity; I added that at the same time she’d become aware of a slightly different Jane in a psychic library from which, it seemed, she was to get much of the material for Politics. Jane visited her library several times on Thursday, without actually transcribing anything from it. [...]

[...] By late November, in other words, Jane had signed a contract with Prentice-Hall for the publication of Politics in 1976, and had also had time to do considerable work on its early chapters. We already knew that she would initiate some transposition of material from Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality into Politics, since she was so intimately and enthusiastically involved in producing both works at the same time: I first wrote about such an exchange in Note 3 for Session 714 (when indicating that she’d used portions of that session in Chapter 1 of Politics).

[...] Neither of us realized it at the time, but she was to soon embark upon one of the key episodes³ of her psychic life: “My later experiences that day were a practical lesson in how models work” she wrote after it was all over.

[...] A bit later I plan to quote from her own notes some of the details of her transcendent perceptions; but by the time I’d secured the typewriter, then driven over to the supermarket at Langdon Plaza, she didn’t think she could get out of the car. [...]

[...] The time seemed to pass rapidly. [...]

[...] She’s been getting it for a long time. [...]

[...] As I have said many times, spontaneity knows its own order. [...]

[...] Jane called me at about 9:50, for the first time in a long while. [...]

(The temperature was up to almost 30 degrees by the time I left for 330 today. Our driveway was slippery for the first time, for we’d had perhaps an inch of powdery snow last night. [...]

[...] I haven’t felt that way in a long time.” [...]

[...] When I turned her on her side at about 4:50, and massaged her with Oil of Olay, I did as Seth had suggested—gently working her right leg back and forth several times. [...]

[...] Mankind did at one time have what you may call a heavier body than at present. [...]

[...] With time you and Ruburt would do well indeed to set up experiments in which you try to contact each other while you are in the dream state. [...]

[...] Take advantage of them when they happen within the dream state, but at this time do not attempt any such endeavor from the trance state. [...]

[...] As it was we didn’t appreciate what had happened until the time came to write these notes. [...]

[...] It is true that much of our work is done outside of session time. Session time often represents the end result of our work. [...]

Now in any ordinary clairvoyant event, in a low mood, Ruburt or any individual may, according to time and circumstance, overemphasize or misinterpret information, overstating say, pessimistic elements. [...]

[...] I said I thought it was a contact session, as Seth calls them, meaning that he was present with us at this time, rather than having given Jane the material earlier. [...]

[...] The question of my availability, again, is a pertinent one only when you think of personality in terms of one individual, who cannot be in two places at once in your time.

[...] Now Ruburt’s ego had been hit over the head, so to speak, so many times in his childhood that it became very sensitive, developing a rigidity out of self-protection.

Give us time. [...]

Now regardless of the nature of our sessions, their legitimacy and my own reality, only certain peculiarly gifted personalities would be able to make consistent contact, to obtain such information over a period of time. [...]

[...] Now give us time.

[...] It should be obvious that in a most basic and practical manner the personality however is not involved with physical time to any degree. [...] It is obvious of course that the personality system will react to stimuli that seem, to the ego, to be far divorced in time. That is, the personality may react to a stimuli in the present that occurred originally twenty years ago, to the ego’s understanding of time.

[...] The idea and reality of physical time parallels the development of the ego. Consciousness of self, alone, is unaware of your physical time. The physical time idea is a product of the ego’s tendency to make finer distinctions in order that it can classify and categorize, and therefore identify and give permanence to its own sensations.

[...] Jane was speaking quite rapidly at the time; I could have missed them.

I will then bid you a fond good evening, and we will for a time be concerned with the various aspects of human personality. [...]

[...] You will be leaving all thoughts of continuity of time behind you in such a case.

Before the time of choosing, however, there is a period of self-examination, and your full “history” becomes available to you. [...]

[...] It is a time of study and comprehension. [...]

[...] I’ve been conscious of this feeling of my own for some time, and have thought of mentioning it at times. [...]

[...] Jane said okay — after 8:00 p.m. I told Jane I hadn’t even had time to tell her of my impression before the woman — who perhaps was a volunteer answering the phone — came to us. [...]

(No interruptions this morning, Monday, January 9. I worked on taxes for an hour, Dreams the rest of the time. [...]

Exuberance and joy, however, basically have nothing to do with time or age. [...]

[...] At the same time, it seemed obvious that these memories surfacing represented a therapeutic instance of what Seth had said would happen: memories bubbling to the surface where they could be examined and defused, instead of being kept repressed in the past. [...]

His overconscientiousness as a young person, and his intense concern—overconcern—at times with the literal “truth” of any given situation, is and was largely his reaction to his mother’s habitual, often mischievous lying pattern. [...]

[...] That particular subject matter can be discussed at another time. [...]

[...] And he has pursued that course vigorously even when he did not consciously see the continuity of such a project at any given time. [...]

(Jane’s eyes had been wide open much of the time, and very dark. [...] Her delivery at times had been humorous.)

[...] No notes were taken at the time of the session.

[...] My time elements were simply off here, unfortunately.” [...]

[...] We do not often get visitors after midnight; this friend has visited us perhaps three times in the last year, so we can say his arrival was unexpected.

You can do this, and well, and it will allow you to work with people who are independent of this place and time. [...] Then humorously:) Your painting of me can become famous, in time. [...]

[...] At one time connected with the school of ashcan art. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Give us time. [...]

The Bill’s mentioned refer to a delicatessen that is also used as a drinking bar, with some entertainment at times. [...]

[...] Your soul was not born yesterday, in those terms, but before the annals of time as you think of time.

[...] He has at various times wondered about schizophrenia, for example. He does not realize that on this level, now, and regardless of my independence and other issues involved, that he creates the personalities free of time, organizes them under the leadership of the conscious mind, and assigns them tasks of great validity and importance, which are then carried out.

[...] Jane did manage to hold her ESP and writing classes part of the time; she also worked on her novel, The Education of Oversoul 7, which she discusses in her Introduction.

These are not physical children at the mercy of time and the elements, but eternal ones, more knowledgeable than the parent; gods springing from the human psyche, half-human, half-divine. [...]

(It was late by the time we sat for the session. [...] At times here pace was quite slow.)

[...] As you know, his presence in this chair (eyes open, Jane pointed to the Kennedy rocker in which she sat) at regular session time provides the same sort of concentration and focus in another direction.

He tried to be spontaneous and not spontaneous at the same time. [...]

[...] Break time found me very discouraged. [...]
