“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The negative universe is, therefore, composed of what we may refer to as a beforeimage and an afterimage of your own. As you may have surmised however, each of these is composed of what you may call, for your own purposes, seemingly exactly like your own universe and following your own time perspective.

(“What is the situation?”)

[...] Ruburt is so preciously guarding me, and so afraid that what I say may not prove true at all, that he does a beautiful job of blocking me when he gets the chance.

[...] There is however, what we will call an interval between the entrance of each energy pulsation into the physical field, and its replacement by another.

[...] He did receive what he prefers to think of as a flash from me tonight. [...]

[...] What you get is a hasty twisting of channel, a rather inept and usually somewhat disastrous attempt to pick up this material with the outer senses.

(“Is Frank Watts aware of what’s happening to Miss Callahan?”)

(“What did you do?”)

[...] You are moving more effectively within camouflage reality, but you are still dealing with it. [...]

(“What’s that connection with greed or grasp?”)

(“What kind of events?”)

(“What does that call and the color black refer to?”)

[...] It would be cultured — for what, we don’t know.

[...] She did her own thing about creating her own reality. [...]

(During first break I had mentioned being curious about what Jane’s eyes really see, or are aware of, when they are open during a trance. [...]

There are many ways in which my reality is made known here. [...]

[...] Now these methods, when perfected, will go a long way toward explaining how I see you, and how I can make my reality known to you. [...]

[...] In this case I keep his physical system going while training him to describe what he has seen in his projections. [...]

[...] His beliefs have undergone their most significant changes, in that he finally believes that he forms his reality, and can change it. [...]

Now, let us continue: Ruburt has been working with what he calls the inward order of events. [...]

[...] The inner self knows what it is doing. [...]

His actual predicament is one where what he wishes, he feels will hurt others. And yet through living at home while helping the father, on the one hand, in the establishment, at the same time on unconscious levels by his very presence he says “I am not doing what I want to do, and you are to blame.”

Nevertheless I do here welcome all present, and hope that I am myself welcomed, into what we may call a pleasant family gathering.

[...] He, with his remorseless conscience, welcomes the cruelties, for they make him feel as if he is doing penance, and for what?

[...] Nor do I here, despite Ruburt, apologize for what may be considered a slight invasion of family affairs. [...]

[...] He envied you what he thought of as your coolness, and in trying to emulate it at times he only used it as an excuse to continue this old pattern of withdrawal.

It was the only thing that set him apart under welfare conditions, the mark of distinction that got him to college by the skin of his teeth, and it was, he felt, what made you love him. [...]

[...] He was also afraid that his fears about physical reality now and in the future were so drastic that you would also be terrified, and that together you could not solve the problems. [...]

[...] Ruburt felt you were a perfectionist, both in your work and in what you demanded of others and yourself.

[...] Creative abilities would be quickened, and the great problem of insomnia that exists for many people would be largely conquered — for what they fear is often the long period of time in which consciousness, as they think of it, seems to be extinguished.

Now, many diseases are simply caused by this division of yours and this long period of bodily inactivity, and this extended focus of attention in either waking or dreaming reality. [...]

If you do not understand that in periods of sleep your consciousness actually does leave your body, then what I have said will be meaningless. [...]

(“Well, we’ll see what we can do.”

[...] During what is called the sexually active time; the larger dimensions of personhood become strictly narrowed into sexually stereotyped roles — and all aspects of identity that do not fit are ignored or denied. [...]

[...] You take it for granted, in other words, that individual differences do not apply in such cases so remote from your own reality.

[...] These sexual beliefs are also far more important in national relationships than you realize, for you attempt to take what you think of as a masculine stance as a nation. [...]

In drawing up his list of so-called natural laws, I have said that man decided that what appeared to be cause and effect to him was therefore a natural law of the universe. Not only do these so-called laws, which are not laws, vary according to where you are in the universe, they also vary according to what you are in the universe. [...]

[...] What do you think of my performance last night?”)

[...] This is what happened after your exercises. [...]

[...] You were released so quickly last night that quite literally you didn’t know what happened. [...]

[...] We will almost immediately embark upon a more concentrated study of the personality as it operates within its dream reality.

[...] I began to wonder what our neighbors might hear, since our windows were open. [...]

We will also be concerned with the framework of the human personality as it exists within several levels of reality. [...]

[...] Again, the material is indeed dealing with a far more valid explanation for the working ways of reality than the old official beliefs — and again, we are not just (underlined) dealing with evocative, creative hypotheses.

[...] Only who, or what, would I direct my frustration to, or at? [...]

This is done many times without the main personality realizing what is really going on. [...]

The solutions lie in the conscious mind — I cannot emphasize this too strongly — and in those beliefs that you accept about the nature of reality and, specifically, about the nature of your being.

[...] You have what I will call for now “a body of thought,” and it is that “body” that constantly springs into action at your intent.

The organization of your feelings, beliefs, and intents directs the focus about which your physical reality is built. [...]

Nor will anything be gained by a patent and speedy program that is not solidly based on understanding, both understanding of the self in particular, and what you may call the mechanics involved in the creation of the illness itself, and in an understanding of those elements which caused the personality to develop the illness.

[...] Bill Gallagher said he agreed in general with what Jane was saying about his case, as far as he could follow the involved sentences in dictation.)

What the personality must be led to see is that any real permanence would indeed be the death of the ego and the personality. [...]

[...] The ulcer for example has reality upon many levels, and must be dealt with in a like manner, for it is not enough to handle it even from the viewpoint of the present ego; for indeed causes are involved of which the present ego must necessarily be mainly ignorant. [...]

[...] He tried to emulate what he thought your actions would be in the same circumstances at the time this began.

[...] He felt it was necessary to inhibit physical mobility in order to facilitate deeper penetration into inner reality.

[...] I sat in silence for several minutes because I didn’t know what to do; I seemed to be neutralized by the conflicting feelings washing over me. [...]

He did not of course understand what the complete results would be. [...]

[...] You would not spend time wondering what your purpose was, for it would make itself known to you, as you perceived the direction in which your natural impulses led, and felt yourself exert power in the world through such actions. [...]

[...] The scientist begins tipping tables or whatever, and suddenly disgusted by the limits of scientific knowledge, he turns all of his dedication to what he thinks of as its opposite, or pure intuitive knowledge. [...]

How do your impulses affect your future experience, and help form the practical world of mass reality?

[...] If certain portions, dominating portions, of both of your personalities are willing to go without, for the sake of what you want, other portions do feel that they are being disregarded, without even token recognition.

[...] That is one of the reasons that he seeks what you call offbeat positions, but he has made progress in this line, and should continue to do so. [...]

[...] He was constantly told to slow down, to use discipline, and this reinforced the fear that what he was, was fearful, powerful, evil, and best hidden.

[...] You should make definite plans for a vacation, and discuss them so that the idea is a reality in the present. [...]

[...] During break I jokingly began to speak aloud my own impressions of what Peg and Bill were doing at the moment. [...] The odd part about this is that I seemed to see pictures of what I was describing, while my eyes were open.

[...] I remarked that it was going to be a busy session, what with the material on the Gallaghers and Dr. Instream, a possible envelope test, and the chance that Seth might discuss two very long, vivid, and complicated dreams Jane had while taking a short nap last Friday morning. [...]

[...] Nevertheless he realizes that he is part of the storm, and the storm is part of himself, and it is not destructive but creative; and most of all, a simple elemental part of reality as it is.

[...] At the same time I felt touches of my familiar thrilling sensation that I have often felt during psy-time, or when I see a vision; this gave me the feeling that I might be half right about what I had said; Seth however said nothing about it. [...]
