“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The order of value descends in direct proportion (Jane’s tone was very puzzled, eyes open), to the order of ascension on the positive side. (Then she added: ) This is to make that clearer; talking about negative and positive values, and on the negative side the value descends in direct proportion to the order of ascension on the positive side.

Doubles have no meaning in the Planck thing, whatever that is. The weaker integer doubles its (value) with the speed of light. Better put value in parentheses, because I’m not sure it’s the right word.

This instability isn’t noticeable here, even after the 9th power, but it exists. The unpredictability seems to result in the dissolution of quadrants under certain conditions. The value of the integers would seem to dissolve (pause) at the speed of light, but it is precisely here that the minus numbers take over and become, or take on, the value of the positive numbers.

The value of the integers thrusts forward and back, pulsating like reflection (pause) that draws (quadrants or integers) (better put those terms in parenthesis, Jane said, since she wasn’t sure of the word to use) like a magnet, adding their value to their own. (Pause.)

As temperatures in various depths of ocean change, and as even the color of the water and of the flora and fauna change, so too in our value climate there are quality changes, and senses equipped to project and perceive the changes. [...] The inner senses inhabit directly the atmosphere of our value climate; they see through the ever-varying camouflage (physical) patterns, and the flux and flow of apparent change. To some small degree in our sessions you plunge into this ocean of value climate, and to the extent that you are able to divest yourselves of the clothes of camouflage, you can be truly aware of this climate.

The value climate of psychological reality can be likened to an ocean in which all consciousness has its being. [...]

[...] By plunging into our ocean of value climate you can dive beneath your camouflage system and look up to see it, relatively foundationless, floating above you, moved, formed, and directed by the shifting illusions caused by the wind of will, and the force of subconscious concentration and demand.

[...] So does value expansion become reincarnation and evolution and growth. [...]

[...] In value they can be said to expand, yet this very real intensity or value expansion of a feeling takes up no more additional space than it did at its conception.

[...] In other words expansion, occurring in terms of value quality, or gradations of intensity, has nothing to do with expansion in space. And expansion of value and intensity is the only real form of expansion.

[...] They exist in a climate that we will call the value climate of psychological reality. [...] This value climate of psychological reality is a quality which makes all existences and consciousness possible. [...]

Energy transformation and value fulfillment, all existing within the spacious present, add up to a durability that is at the same time spontaneous. Energy transformation and value fulfillment add up to a durability that is simultaneous.

(9:21.) The term “value fulfillment” is very difficult to explain, but it is very important. Obviously it deals with the development of values — not moral values, however, but values for which you really have no adequate words. Quite simply, these values have to do with increasing the quality of whatever life the being feels at its center. [...]

[...] It comes into being with an inner impetus toward value fulfillment. [...]

In those terms, animals have values, and if the quality of their lives disintegrates beyond a certain point, the species dwindles. [...]

[...] Together they work toward a joint kind of value fulfillment, in which both are fulfilled.

No matter what science says about certain values being outside of its frame of reference, science implies that those values are therefore without basis. The reasoning qualities of the mind are directed away from any exploration that might bring about any acceptable scientific evidence for such values, therefore. The fact is that man lives by those values that science ignores (quietly emphatic, and repeated).

[...] (Pause.) When men use tools in accord with (pause) the “dictates” of value fulfillment, those tools are effective. Your technology, however, as it stands, has to some important degree—but not entirely—been based upon a scientific philosophy that denies the very idea of value fulfillment. [...]

[...] But that intent was sabotaged because the philosophy behind it denied the validity of the very subjective values that give man his reason for living. Because those values were forgotten, life was threatened.

[...] Efforts, methods that work against value fulfillment phase themselves out, for in the long run they do not work.

[...] It has seen the value of life largely only as that life conforms to its own standards. (Pause.) That is, the reasoning mind, as you have used it, considers that only reasoning creatures are capable of understanding life’s values. Other forms of life have almost seemed beside the point, their value considered only insofar as they were of service to man. But man’s life is obviously dependent upon the existence of life’s other species, and with him those species share certain values. Life is sacred—all life—and again, all life seeks value fulfillment, not simply physical survival.

[...] Using animals in the laboratory is imposing human goals and values upon other life forms, even though the modern scientific method is supposed to be value-free. [...]

(Long pause.) In physical reality, if you will forgive me, life is the name of the game—and the game is based upon value fulfillment. [...]

(9:45.) In no way do I mean to demean the indisputable value of geniuses, or their great contributions to the quality of life—but the quality of life is, again, also benefited by the existence of idiots. [...]

[...] I am saying, therefore that even insects have an esthetic sense, and again, that each creature, and each plant, or natural entity, has its own sense of value fulfillment, seeking the greatest possible fulfillment and extension of its own innate abilities.

This sense of value fulfillment, once more, benefits not only the individual, but its species and all other species. [...]

[...] In human terms, this means that each person has a vast bank of avenues that lead to value fulfillment, and that individual abilities will ideally form their own boulevards of expression.

Poor health, or simply unhappy situations, arise only when the individual meets too many detours, or encounters too many blocks to the expression of value fulfillment.

[...] Value fulfillment operates within microbes and nations, within individual creatures and entire species, and it unites all of life’s manifestations so that indeed creatures and their environments are united in an overall cooperative venture — a venture in which each segment almost seeks to go beyond itself in creativity, growth, and expression. In a smaller, individual framework, each man and woman, then, is motivated by this same value fulfillment. [...]

You will shortly see how some diseases are caused by the detriments set up against value fulfillment, often because of fears, doubts, or misunderstandings — and how other diseases may actually lead to instances of value fulfillment that are misread or misinterpreted.

[...] Remember that each segment of life is motivated by value fulfillment, and is therefore always attempting to use and develop all of its abilities and potentials, and to express itself in as many probable ways as possible, in a process that is cooperatively — correction: in a process that takes into consideration the needs and desires of each other segment of life.

I have said that in almost every case of severe dissatisfaction or illness the underlying reasons will not so much be found in the discovery or expression of buried hate or aggression—though these may be present—but in the search for valued expression of value fulfillment that is for one reason or another being denied. [...]

In that regard, Ruburt’s creativity kept struggling for its own growth and value fulfillment. [...]

(9:37.) The sessions then opened the door to a particular kind of value fulfillment that was natural to Ruburt’s being. [...]

[...] At the same time he believed he was the Sinful Self, and that expression was highly dangerous—so between those two frameworks, the psychological organization, he operated as best he could, still seeking toward the natural value fulfillment that was his natural heritage. [...]

(Pause.) Most men’s abilities are prosaic enough and conventional enough so that their value can be ascertained—or worked out by labor unions (amused). If all a man can do to “prove his value” is to put a bolt in a car, or drive a truck, or even teach a class, then he is very careful that that contribution be noticed, and that a definite value be given it. You cannot estimate the value of ideas or of creativity in that fashion. [...]

[...] I do not want to hurt your feelings—but your particular beliefs about a male and money are in their way quite parochial, and you must understand that as far as money is concerned, also, those beliefs have little moral value—moral value. [...]

Think of the slides shown today (by Loren) of postcard Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, USA, home of conventional, American, Protestant values. [...]

You may laugh with some disdain when I mention, for example, that in some other societies, both today and in the past (pause) a gentleman proved his moral worth and value by not working. [...]

The national economic situation led him to value that relationship still further. [...] He valued the more or less clear channel of operation from the completion of a book by himself to its publication. [...]

[...] He valued the relationship with Prentice (long pause), and he valued the idea of distributing the books in foreign lands, even if that venture meant misunderstandings or quite deliberate translations such as the shortening of one book, feeling that Prentice, while negligent, was not deliberately negligent, and that the situation would be righted and the material restored. [...]

[...] When he and Tam began to reach a relatively workable relationship, therefore, he began to value this more and more. [...]

[...] He valued the relative permanency of the association, judging it in his mind against other situations in which time might otherwise be necessary to find a different publisher for each book, or an agent with whom Ruburt might feel rapport. [...]

[...] The appreciation of distinctions and differences is considered one of the greatest characteristics of consciousness, and so those aspects of it are valued. [...]

[...] They see themselves as leftovers, dim vestiges of better selves, and in their own system of value judgment they condemn themselves through the very fact of their continued existence in time. [...]

In this value system the black races are feared, as, basically, the aged are feared. [...]

[...] When this is carried to an extreme you wind up with devil cults, in which the poorly understood powers of creativity and exuberance rush out in distorted form; the undersides of consciousness are then glorified at the expense of the other, white, “conscious and objective” values.

[...] I am indeed no businessman as such, and yet I know that true value speaks for itself, as his value to the company is on record.

[...] His value to his company is appreciated by his superiors, and in the meeting which will take place, his stand as an individual is his main hope of success.

He should point out that his success so far, and his value, has been a direct result of his insistence upon following his own nature and acting upon his own ideas. [...]

[...] His individuality and originality and determination actually represent his value to the company, and they know it.

[...] You are born seeking to add value to the quality of life, to add characteristics, energies, abilities to life that only you can individually contribute to the world, and to attain a state of being that is uniquely yours, while adding to the value fulfillment of the world.

[...] You know — that material I’ve been telling you about, on therapy and value fulfillment. [...]

[...] A book could actually be involved — Seth’s next — on “the therapy of value fulfillment.” [...]

“The therapy of value fulfillment will attempt to put individuals in touch with their basic instincts, to allow them to sense the impulsive shapes of their lives, to define their own versions of the ideal through the recognition of it as it exists in their own impulses and feelings and abilities, and to help them find acceptable and practical methods of exerting their natural power in the practical actualization of those ideals.”

[...] Value fulfillment is a psychological and physical propensity that exists in each unit of consciousness, propelling it toward its own greatest fulfillment in such a way that its individual fulfillment also adds to the best possible development on the part of each other such unit of consciousness. [...] It operates above as well, but I am here concerned with the cooperative nature with which value fulfillment endows all units of consciousness within your physical world.

[...]

[...] Value Fulfillment Versus Competition.”

[...] I am not speaking of any playful competition, obviously, but of a determined, rigorous, desperate, sometimes almost deadly competition, in which a person’s value is determined according to the number of individuals he or she has shunted aside.

[...] It also stands for the separation of the self who perceives — and therefore judges and values — from the object which is perceived and evaluated. [...]

[...] Now: The natural consideration given to the body during such “therapy” is highly beneficial because the body’s rights are taken into consideration, without the value judgment of right and wrong carried by the health foods.

[...] Natural massage is of great value, particularly when done by another with healing intent. [...]

[...] If the proper inner attitude is maintained, such massage can be of good value. [...]

[...] It is not simply that for some time seems to go faster or slower than for others, but that time is used in different fashions according to the value fulfillment issues with which each individual is concerned and with those of the species as well. [...]

[...] Value fulfillment deals with certain kinds of qualities that must appear in time. [...]

(Long pause.) The purposes and value fulfillment intents of some people are often reached in your terms at a young age. [...]

[...] Such a feeling, recognized, can also serve—as it did serve the woman’s mother—as a critical point of recognition that the desire to die was triggered not so much (long pause) by the feeling of life’s completion as by the fact that the individual had set up too many restrictions in life itself—restrictions that were severely cutting back its own possibilities of value fulfillment, or future effective action. [...]

[...] A mental image then is also a pattern of internal sound with electromagnetic properties imbued with certain light values. In a sense, and a very real one, the mental image is incipient matter; and any structure so composed, combining the electromagnetic sound and light values, will automatically try to reproduce itself in physical existence, or materialization. [...]

There are certain properties within the structure of the chromosomes that must be activated by specific internal sound values. [...]

There are chains of influence that are actually composed of inner values of sound that thread together, as it were, the complicated interweavings of both the genes and chromosomes.

These sound values are literally interwoven in an electromagnetic pattern. [...]

[...] Each of the atoms and molecules that compose your body has its own reality in sound values that you do not hear physically. Each organ of your body then has its own unique sound value too. [...]

[...] Many of their techniques were adopted for their psychological shock value, in which the patient was quite effectively “brainwashed” out of the disease he believed that he had.

[...] This is not to say that the medical profession often is not of great aid and benefit, but within the value system in which it operates much of its positive influence is negated.

[...] You are usually told that your emotions or beliefs or system of values have nothing to do with the unfortunate circumstances that beset you.

[...] Science insists it does not deal with values, but leaves those to philosophers. In stating that the universe is an accidental creation, however, a meaningless chance conglomeration formed by an unfeeling cosmos, it states quite clearly its belief that the universe and man’s existence has no value. [...]

[...] Yet I could see that I confused Jane, for to make such a venture possible we’d have to change certain beliefs and values that are deeply rooted within us; especially those about personal privacy and our reluctance to “go public” with such topical, immediate material, instead of trusting that the Seth material will exert a meaningful influence in society over the long run. [...]

[...] Their “truth” is to be found by studying the objective world, the world of objects, including animals and stars, galaxies and mice — but by viewing these objects as if they are themselves without intrinsic value, as if their existences have no meaning (intently).

[...] (Long pause.) It cannot value life, and so in its search for the ideal it can indeed justify in its philosophy the possibility of an accident that might kill many many people through direct or indirect means, and kill the unborn as well.²
