“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The following thoughts came to me while I was painting this morning. [...]

[...] You have not taken my suggestion before for a very simple reason: part of you, Joseph, was not ready to reassure Ruburt in such a fashion, for you were not certain that it was safe to relax in such a world, and you did not want to lie to Ruburt because you believed the newspaper world so thoroughly—with all, now, of its implications, as Ruburt did.

[...] In a large measure, the world in which he now lives is a highly more enjoyable and productive one than it was before.

[...] They point precisely to those areas in which both of you heartily agreed, though Ruburt’s way of getting work done was not yours. [...]

[...] Jane was really charged up from the day’s events: She’d received the first six copies of her poetry book Dialogues of the Soul and Mortal Self in Time, which was just off the press at Prentice-Hall, and during break we discussed that book.

[...] Later in the session Jane felt that Seth was taking her on a guided tour of Jerusalem, way back in the first century A.D. None of this consisted of book work, though, so the session remains in our files along with other material that we hope to publish one day.

[...] Joseph is even now involved in typing my previous manuscript (The “Unknown” Reality). It was written in such a way that it tied the personal experience of Ruburt and Joseph in with a greater theoretical framework, so that one could not be separated from the other.

[...] Jane was both nervous and impatient at the prospect of her first session since last August 13. [...]

[...] That faith existed even before churchly doctrine was imposed over it. [...]

On his part, his experience with my voice was an important breakthrough. [...]

(There was more, but of a similar nature. [...]

[...] Jane was dissociated as usual, a bit more toward the end. [...]

[...] Jane was dissociated as usual. [...]

[...] Jane was “pretty far-out" all night.)

[...] Christ as you think of him was simply saying that you form your own reality. [...]

1. The “big bang” theory postulates that 10 to 15 billion years ago all matter — or energy — was concentrated in one great primordial “atom.” [...]

[...] Mankind “competed” against nature, which was to be conquered, so the universe seemed to be a threatening place. [...]

[...] The mouth was sore due to realignments as bones are gradually being released from pressure. [...]

[...] In such a case belief would also be involved: Such a person would have to believe that an unhealthy condition was the best way to serve another purpose.

[...] It literally becomes more than it was. [...]

(Pause at 9:35.) As I have said frequently, time as you think of it does not exist, yet in your terms, time’s true nature could be understood if the basic nature of the atom was ever made known to you. [...]

[...] I told her the material was excellent. [...]

[...] His presence was advanced as a possible reason for the quietness of the class.

(Seth:) —and I thought you were on your good behavior because I was here. [...]

[...] I was not burdened with intellect... [...]

[...] I for one was disillusioned, no doubt about it, I thought as Seth spoke. [...] I was still down, but when she described how good the idea of changing things around made her feel, I had to smile. [...]

(This material was very similar to thoughts I’d had while painting this morning. [...]

[...] “ His presence was advanced as a possible reason for the quietness of the class.)

And I thought you were on your good behavior because I was here. [...]

[...] And yet I will tell you, that as a frivolous female who loved to play with a ball in the bright afternoon and had no chores to perform, seemingly an idle life and seemingly a quite useless personality—I was not burdened with intellect—and yet in that one particular life I learned more about the nature of spontaneity and joy than in many of my ponderous intellectual existences. [...]

(Before the session Jane said she was getting stuff on John, Pat, etc., and I expressed interest in hearing it. [...]

[...] I was right all along.” [...]

(Pat called John unethical because he told Bantam that Pocket Books was interested in acquiring Seven. [...]

[...] Your belief in an unsafe universe however was reflected in a dampening of your creative abilities in contrast to what you can produce. [...]

[...] You do not want to give upon demand—after your marriage you felt as if this was the case. [...]

(Jane [Ruburt] said something to me on the tape about having a strong feeling of resistance on my part—as though in spite of all I said about wanting to have orgasm, I really didn’t want to—that it was a strong protective measure, as though my survival in one way depends on it.

[...] First of all, if you will forgive me, you would have no difficulty at all having orgasm with a man to whom you were deeply attracted if he were not your husband, and if you could get over the moral barriers that might prevent it—if you could convince yourself that it was all right.

[...] After the ceremony, it meant conforming to what was expected, being one of the masses, giving up your individuality.

[...] Once again the evening was very warm. [...] I read Jane the title of Chapter Twenty-two, thinking that its indicated subject matter meant Seth was close to finishing his book….)

“I feel inferior because my mother hated me,” or, “I feel unworthy because I was scrawny and small as a child.” [...]

[...] You will literally see only what you want to see.² If the race believed that space travel was impossible, you would not have it. [...]

[...] Imagine the emotional reality of each person present, in the time that the photograph was taken. [...]

[...] Jane said her trance state had been “much better” for the second delivery; certainly her manner was more forceful. [...]

Ruburt’s interpretation this evening of his condition was correct, however. [...]

[...] “Why couldn’t I have known when I was a young man about my abilities, and how best to use them?” Think of yourself as a young man using them, and you will automatically be free of many hampering concepts in your work.
