“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Examine your material for what it says and for what it does not say. [...]

([Tom:] “I’m wondering what G A R or D A R may mean.”

([Tom:] “Other questions might take the format of what opportunities might arise in business; the Bega development; etc...”

[...] In fact, as Tom remarked, “She doesn’t even know what my job is, except that I work for a bank.”

[...] The trouble is that while such religions can also inspire people to acts of great sympathy, heroism and understanding, their existence rests upon drastic misreadings of the nature of reality.

What does it mean to go too far in that connotation? [...]

I will let you know very shortly what is happening if you are not aware yourself of contact. [...] Although both of your realities are physical ones, the environments are entirely different. [...]

When Ruburt is in good spirits and physical condition, at the end of the day let him note down, briefly, what he has been doing and thinking about. [...]

[...] His attitude is often: “Now what in God’s name caused this?”

[...] You cannot really know your neighbor’s subjective reality. [...]

[...] Whether or not you remember the dreams, or can interpret them, they will be, in a dream-drama series, painting the reality of the world in a new fashion, giving the significant clues, and to some extent altering habitual psychic organization.

Some of the people most influenced by the books, however, particularly “Unknown” Reality and Cézanne, are the kind of people who will take time to digest the books before writing. [...]

[...] I suggested to Jane that we try an experiment: we’d start concentrating on more mail reaching us, as we are doing now on her physical condition and increased sales, and see what happens.

[...] She is waiting apprehensively to see what the public’s reaction to God of Jane is. [...] She shook her head: “I don’t know what I think. [...]

[...] She evidently doesn’t. So far we’ve tried it tentatively on various portions of her body, with what appear to be some promising results. [...]

[...] So I was left frustrated, wondering what she’d said that I had mistranslated into that word. [...]

Now: Ruburt’s paper was well done, and is important to an understanding of what has been happening in his own life, as well as indicating the larger social framework. [...]

[...] What he accepted as a temporary condition he fears to be a permanent one—that is, the temporary positions. [...]

[...] What I want to know is whether you can help impress my own changed attitude upon Jane so that it helps her in daily life? [...]

The hand symptoms also have to do with a feeling that he has not come to grips with reality. [...]

[...] She was aware of what she said as she said it. [...]

It senses realities usually closed to it. [...] Intuitive springs rush to the surface, and because the outer ego has already been alerted, it is able to accept these realities while still performing its ordinary duties.

(Jane had no idea of what Seth was going to talk about before the session began. [...]

[...] However it was simply frightened to find what seemed like the body in a position normally impossible for it. [...]

(“What is the spectacular arrangement you mentioned?”)

In all of these areas expectations bring about physical reality.

[...] I want you to see what you do right, so that you can apply it to these other areas.

[...] It is important that you try to play this with him, or know what he is doing, simply because you reinforce each other so strongly. [...]

[...] Realize however that it is up to you in which areas of reality you concentrate.

[...] This is a rather a weighty endeavor, therefore you should indeed realize what it requires of you. [...]

[...] There will be direct experience of inner reality that is encountered most infrequently, and expansion of consciousness and a resulting fulfillment of your own personality.

(Bill Gallagher had scribbled a note to me and passed it along as Seth spoke: What country? [...]

(“What country is the relative in?” This was my own question, unrelated to Bill’s, however.)

[...] Every living thing has what you would term an astral form or vehicle. This consists of electromagnetic realities operating within specific frequencies.

[...] Give me a brief moment here, and let us see what we can do for our so-fatigued friend. [...]

[...] I do not know to what it refers. [...]

(Peg Gallagher at break had wondered if Seth would tell what might happen at the paper.

[...] That should be a part of the program, in other words, regardless of what Ruburt intends to do bookwise with those sessions. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The nature of creativity, regardless of any given specific manifestation, is shown in an overall generalized fashion that automatically increases the quality of life, and such benefits are definite regardless of what other conditions also become apparent. [...]

You cannot know what would have happened, for example, had it not been produced, or distributed, so the question might seem moot. [...]

[...] You do need a faith in the existence of that reality, however, therefore I suggest that your program once again includes your helping Ruburt change his working space, and that this time you both try it with a kind of loving play, if that is possible. [...]

[...] I would also later like to make some comments about “Unknown” Reality.

[...] So what went wrong? [...]

[...] What happened physically was this. [...]

[...] You both took it for granted, however, that despite what it seemed Ruburt might have learned lately, negative beliefs were rising in rebellion, and forcing a crisis that you then had to meet.

[...] “What will happen, will happen,” but they do not physically struggle against their situation.

Doctors might suggest that a patient relax and then ask himself or herself what kind of inner fantasy would best serve the healing process. [...]

Simply make a straightforward request, asking that some picture or image be presented in your inner mind, that will serve as representative of those portions of your own inner reality.

[...] (Sitting up as she spoke, Jane began to take off her sweater and shoes.) The painting exists and in one reality you have already completed it. [...]

[...] Only you can give them physical reality however. [...]

This is what makes a painting great, the validity of the inner ground of being within them, interpreted in highly individual ways. [...]

Ruburt should not brush aside any emotional connections then, but understand what is happening. [...]

[...] He is able however, now, to face realities, allow himself motion, and not fear that motion will automatically mean cowardly flight.

[...] (Pause.) He left what she wanted. [...]

[...] What is left will enjoy the sunlight and green grass, and be peaceful. [...]

[...] As atoms and molecules give your chairs a reality within your system even though the atoms and molecules themselves come and go, so this planetary system still retains its identity. Your astronomers may perceive a ghost image of it at the edges of your universe, but only a reflection from a reality that you cannot perceive. [...]

[...] Scientists have long wondered what physical matter “disappeared into,” and Seth’s EE units may well be the answer.

[...] The fact is that they can never be condoned, and yet they must be understood for what they are: man, learning through his own errors. [...]

This is the result of his intimate knowledge of what it is to be so hurt, connected with the mother experience. [...] And he knew underneath that it would only go so far before you would realize what was happening. [...]

(On July 3 and July 5th, I held long pendulum sessions, trying to learn what subconscious role I have been playing in Jane’s symptoms. [...]

[...] He felt you did not want him to succeed here, and that despite what you said, for you always verbally encouraged him, you did not want him to receive clairvoyant checkable material. [...]

[...] He fought, but without ever daring face what it was he was fighting. [...]

[...] I wondered why the method used was chosen by Jane, and what was involved emotionally and intellectually. [...]

[...] That is what we want. [...]

[...] In your terms, physically, that is what perception is—an alteration of neurological structure. [...]

To a large extent you are what you perceive, and not symbolically. [...]

(This data is apropos of what Jane and I had been discussing before the session.)

[...] The flexibility, spontaneity, persistence, what have you, none of which he may have acquired had the “road” in quotes been absolutely straight from start to finish.

[...] But what about the cases where the personality does die from its illness; the illness never clearing up....”)

(“That’s about what I meant.”)

[...] I recommended Maltz because his exercises are based on truths, even though he does not fully understand what lies beneath. [...]

[...] What you do with it is up to you. [...]

[...] The origin is in yourself, and this is what you have not so far understood.

(“That’s what I mean, I guess.”)
