“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The psyche’s reality is beyond such misunderstandings. [...] It is closely connected with what can be loosely called the language of love.

[...] They will see in women instead the despised, feared, and yet charged aspects of their own reality, and behave accordingly in their relationships.

[...] As session time approached she had no idea of what her procedure would be—whether she would sit, stand, pace, open or close her eyes, etc. [...]

[...] Her pauses were not overly long, and she knew what she was saying as she gave voice to it, but then forgot it.

[...] They have scarcely glimpsed the complicated realities of the mind. [...]

[...] The inner ego receives messages through the inner senses, and is aware of realities which the outer ego cannot afford to recognize because of its specialization. [...]

[...] I know it’s easy to feel bad about what appears to be someone else’s dilemma, but at the same time they live in the reality they’ve created and have their own kinds of protection. [...]

[...] I couldn’t believe what was happening, and was already wondering what to do to get out of the situation. [...]

[...] Show this book to Jane and have her read it while I wait here, then you tell me, Robert, what she thinks of it....” [...] Then you come out and tell Fred what Jane thinks of it. [...]

[...] What did you do when faced with absolutes? “But what are you going to do?”

[...] I do not know what floor it was on, except that it was at least several floors up. [...] I do not know whether he is still located there, or what has happened to him, not having seen him since.

[...] But after this first acquaintance we had not seen him since, and often wondered what happened to him.

Behind the camouflage true reality exists. [...]

(“What are you going to do now, Seth?”)

[...] “I will give myself this, and get rid of it, and then apply what I have learned to this other situation that has been bothering me.”

Behind the events therefore are highly charged beliefs about (underlined) reality, that you have not examined, either of you, and about your relationship with each other, your stance in regard to the outside world, as well as ideas about freedom, spontaneity and responsibility.

[...] If you consider them as beliefs that you hold, both of you, then you should be able to discuss them calmly, and understand what happens. [...]

[...] Can I count on you both then to face the challenge, and do what I suggested?

[...] It will also help if he remembers what he likes to do and enjoys doing, as opposed to what he thinks he should do in the line of business. [...]

[...] “All I want is to be loved and cuddled,” she said upon getting up, and I tried to offer what help I could—very inadequately, I’m afraid. [...]

[...] This of course implied strong connections with the body as it operated in daily physical reality. [...]

[...] Ruburt had strong elements of personality still caught up in the beliefs of what I have called the Sinful Self. [...]

The comics acquainted you with what I will call a kind of surface art, and also in a way acquainted you with caricatures of social reality. [...]

[...] Then the day after this session was held, Frank returned at noon with literature on what stove units are available, prices, et cetera, so the discussion proceeded further.)

[...] At the same time, both of you to some extent feared what you thought of as the power of sex. [...]

[...] What does he think of me, working at home?” et cetera.

(And while she did so, what would happen? [...] Tonight, I told her, Seth said nothing at all about what I regard as the central point of conflict—the conflict between her Sinful Self, so-called, and the spontaneous self. [...] But that, then, still leaves us with the challenge of coping with something much less than a successful solution here in this reality. [...]

(“So if the next few sessions don’t give some clues as to what’s going on,” I said, “it may mean the end of the sessions.... [...] What I think—and have, often lately—about illness is that we know so little about it that we’re still literally in the dark ages in that respect. I’ve felt that way for some time, now—that our understanding of what human beings are is minute at best. I think it’s very dangerous to take too hard a position at this time on anything we think we’ve learned, for I can’t imagine that in future millennia we’ll ever cling to very much of what we think is ‘true’ today—especially about things like illness. [...] Lots of it—only what does one do in the meantime while trying to learn a few things?”

[...] I also wanted to know what she meant about feeling good, when this noon she’d spent much time listing all the ways in which she didn’t feel good, today. [...] “And what’s left of the psychic thing anyway except for an occasional session?” I asked. [...]

[...] If those feelings go no further, then what good are they?—so you both are bound to wonder. [...]

My field of reality is not the same as it is for those who have recently left your system. [...]

[...] Her pace had been very slow, and she did not have too good an idea of what she had said.

They would tackle realities that cannot be measured with physical instruments. [...]

If such a study is conducted however with preconceived ideas, then each experimenter will find only what he has been looking for, for all else will appear meaningless to him.

You expect yourself to be a great artist, lost in the intricacies of what you think of as an artistic emotional reality, innocent of any interfering intellectuality. [...]

[...] Your own painting is growing despite your own ideas of what you think it should be. “Unknown” is a creative triumph despite your joint ideas of what that book should be.

[...] We’ve had a number of discussions about the whole business, and what we can do about any of it. [...]

(We haven’t paid any attention to the last session, for December 26, 1977, yet it contains a line that I’ve thought of often since it came through: “Ruburt....constantly concentrates upon what is still wrong.” [...]

[...] We do believe Seth’s assessment, to the effect that her body is righting itself in numerous areas after years of disuse, of being held down, but at the same time it’s very difficult not to have qualms and doubts about what’s happening at the same time. At Christmastime I discussed with Jane the idea of seeking medical help, and asked her to tell me what she thought of this idea later, but she has yet to bring up the subject. [...]

[...] “Well, if we’ve made no major errors,” I said to Jane recently, “what do you call the hassles we do have?”’ I was—am—quite aware of the humor implicit in the whole situation. [...]

[...] The idea is that she’ll be free to do what she wants with the Seth material, for as long as she wants to, without our adding fuel to her fears until we’ve had a chance to work things through. [...]

[...] Was this the latest attempt by the body to heal itself by flooding afflicted areas with soothing liquid, say as lubrication, or what? [...]

[...] I kept trying to go back to what had happened before Jane got her symptoms, before she became well-known, and so forth. [...]

[...] I said that much of what we talked about would be considered the normal hassles in life, but that we had put negative connotations on those things and ignored the positive. [...]

Above all, Ruburt must not concentrate upon what is wrong. [...]

[...] It’s a perception I’ve used often in the past year as I’ve tried to understand what’s going on.)

[...] This signals what you want into Framework 2, and those activities will indeed be done better. [...] What you have begun, however—if you keep to this frame of mind—will indeed accelerate his physical improvement, for his mind will already have made necessary changes.

As Ruburt tries more physical activity even in the house, the creative abilities will automatically trigger certain processes so that he finds himself mentally concerned for example with what he will cook, or what cupboard he will wash, or whatever. [...]

[...] It is true that your beliefs form your reality; however you do have a certain leeway, in that those desires that lead to fulfillment and positive creativity are more in keeping with the natural leanings of Framework 2 itself.

[...] You think of what you do. [...]

[...] The source self, or inner ego, has its prime reality in Framework 2. Between the ego and the inner ego, you have what you think of as the unconscious. [...]

(The story of what we’ve been up to the last few days can be found in Jane’s records of her pendulum sessions since March 28. [...] We’ll do this first thing each morning, for however long it takes each day, until we see signs that results are what we want them to be.

[...] With the information it has received, and in the light of what it considers Ruburt’s lack of understanding, lack of gratitude, and determined refusal to understand its position.

[...] He was a high-spirited child, and was taught there that he must toe the mark and do what the others did, or he would be punished.

In your society therefore the black race has represented what you think of as the chaotic, primitive, spontaneous, savage, unconscious portions of the self, the underside of the “proper American citizen.”

[...] It is simply the reality in which many of my readers are involved. [...]

This does not mean that humanity has fallen from that state of grace into what may seem to be a lower condition. [...]

[...] The conscious mind is often drugged with sleep just when it could be deriving its greatest benefits from the unconscious, and be able to poise most meaningfully in the reality that you know. [...]

(I said I was most curious that Seth comment, since what the movie showed was so at odds with his material on early man in Dreams. [...]

The picture of man, animals, and nature depicted in the movie of which you were speaking is the only possible portrayal of reality that could be logically shown, considering the beliefs upon which the premise rests.

[...] Afterward I read Jane what she’d given on the session. [...]

[...] Your sexual lives, despite what you may jointly think, did not suffer on the level in which both of you were working at one time. [...]

[...] What he had achieved as a writer and as a psychic has been achieved despite his methods—not because of them.

[...] On that level they are studying the ways in which beliefs and feelings are translated into living reality. [...]

[...] At that time you accepted it, however, along with your conception of what it was to be a male. If you had a son and did not know what you know, you would automatically so transfer it.

[...] The wish became reality. [...]

When you passionately desire to withhold them, when you fear that you will lose a part of yourself by relinquishing them, then this will be what you broadcast to others, and this is the data upon which they will act.

Now such associations have an electrical reality, you see, built within your system. [...]

[...] I understood them clearly at the time, and after each sentence made a definite effort to remember what they said, then promptly forgot it while concentrating on the next sentence. [...] The voices were very clear and definite, and what they said was sensible. [...]

[...] This capacity, being a part of the generalized consciousness, or what you would call the subconsciousness, therefore performs its function without egotistical awareness or comprehension.

The inner ego knows what it is about. [...]

Through Ruburt’s subconscious I picked up the old legend of the Tower of Babel, and yet this is precisely what you are attempting now in space travel. [...]

[...] Let me say first of all that the many rooms and apartments to be explored all represented various facets of psychic realities, hence his anticipation in the dream. [...]

[...] It represented what will seem like a new ability to him, when he will shortly discover it in himself.

I have the impression: clor-ra-door (my phonetic interpretation) but do not know to what it refers. [...]

It is interesting to see how the second dream was intertwined with events and concerns having to do with everyday realities.
