“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, I try to show you all, whenever we have a session, that what you are seeing and hearing is a demonstration of the nature of human personality. [...] The ability to open yourselves up enough so that you can bear to understand the reality of another individual. [...]

[...] You could agree or disagree with what he felt or what he said. [...]

[...] This is your reality. [...]

[...] The blurring is — was — also necessary to aid in distinguishing another reality from the normally accepted one, particularly in the beginning of such activity. He was tuning into probable neurological materializations … that are ghost images inherent in the normal nervous structure … latent connections biologically part of the cells’ realities. [...]

[...] As I opened my eyes, I realized that the material hadn’t been given yet in ‘Unknown’ Reality — though in the sleep state I was sure it had been.

[...] But first the material: She regards its method of reception, as well as its content, as representing breakthroughs of a kind for her, and because both that reception and content are related to “Unknown” Reality we’re presenting considerable portions of the statement here:)

[...] Next it flows into our probable (physical) reality (which itself changes all the ‘time.’) We inherently possess separate pockets or pools of experience (biologically valid among the cells’ characteristics), sidepools where information collects for processing before flowing into the ‘official pool of consciousness.’

(Jane now has over $7000 in donations through Maude Cardwell’s efforts in Reality Change.

[...] The reincarnational influences are most apparent in what would be considered bodily defects dating from birth, and these will be discussed later on in this book.

(4:22.) You are indeed beneficially impressing reality at a Framework 2 level, and in ways that are becoming apparent at all of the normal levels of your individual and joint experience.

[...] While I did she had some thoughts of her own — that a person can choose illness, for example, in order to explore that reality, and to exert certain effects upon others around the ill person: thoughts I have had many times — my old idea of consciousness getting to know itself in as many ways as possible.

[...] You tested what you were learning wisely against reality as you understood it. Ruburt knew that the adventure required a finesse, a juggling of realities, and he felt a maturity or wisdom that his years had not given him. [...]

All of this occurred—the symptoms—while he tried to gain what he felt was the necessary wisdom to handle his experience. [...]

[...] Let him think simply of Politics and its ideas and reality—then his experiences and the book will flow once again.

You cannot collect data—and you collect it, both of you—that points out man’s stupidities, and then demand that you personally go against what you think of as man’s ingrained idiocy. [...]

[...] Left alone, the body will heal itself, encountering itself in its own reality. [...]

[...] I want each of you personally to equate your reality with you sense data.

[...] All of these communications are a part of the human parcel of reality, and they all exist beneath what you think of as normal consciousness. [...]

Neurologically, you tune into only a portion of your body’s reality and are ignorant of the great, tiny but tumultuous communications that are ever flying back and forth in the microscopic but vital cellular world.

2. Seth should have said that light can be defined as being made up of waves or particles, but he didn’t put it quite that way, and I let stand what he did say. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) You are both encountering new probabilities of a beneficial nature, and each time you do this you put new imprints or paths or impressions into reality, effectively changing reality in those desired ways. [...]

[...] Dr. G looked at it, remarked that she had a large ulcer on the knee, and quickly left with Mary before Jane was quick enough to ask him what he was talking to the nurse about. [...]

(I told Jane she could very well be projecting her own fears upon something that wasn’t that bad at all—that the episode instead served to show what a deep hold old beliefs still had on her. [...]

[...] When Judy, the RN, brought the lunch tray this noon, and replaced a couple of dressings, we asked her to contact Mary and find out exactly what Mary and Dr. G had talked about, re Jane’s treatment. [...]

(Dee G. asked how one looks for reality inside oneself.)

If you look outward, then you see what you have created, all of you. [...]

[...] You have met many strangers lately, both in the dream state and in regular waking reality. [...]

[...] And know that you will return to the room, that the physical image is still within it, but allow yourself the freedom to travel between dimensions, to accept what comes to you gladly, even our Lady of Florence over there in the corner; to open up joyfully and follow, (to Florence) and you close your eyes. [...]

There is no getting around what I have said. Emotional power behind your expectations powers your expectations into physical reality.

Now, what you would want to do with a seventy-two year old woman is beyond me. [...] But, all of these inner psychological realities color your expectations, just as Ruburt is entirely convinced that a writer of real merit cannot bear children.

As long as you believe this so will your expectations of reality become, in truth, reality. [...]

Again, expectations are not only vital in the formation of physical constructions, but they also determine what inner data of all available, will be received by the individual; and then the individual interprets the data in terms of the same expectations.

(No matter what we may have been doing earlier that day, when the session begins — there’s Seth. [...] When she comes out of trance Jane can remember what he’s said, or have no recollection at all of his material.

In the predream state you directly encounter a reality in which those probabilities exist all at once to your perception. [...] You still take advantage of that level of being, however, using that immeasurable data as a basis to form the reality that you know.

[...] What I have called the predream state here is actually one in which you are always immersed whether you are waking or sleeping, or whether in your terms you are alive or dead. [...]

[...] You form your own reality. [...]

(I also thought the call might force a change in what I tell correspondents — but then, with the information about us that I furnished for Maude Cardwell’s article in Reality Change, what would be the point of changing my response to the mail? [...]

[...] “What’s Miss Bowman sending us money for?” I asked Jane. [...] It turned out that the Helen Park who had written had read Maude’s article in Reality Change, and sent the check to Sue to forward to us, to make sure we’d get it safely. [...]

[...] It made me wonder, as I drove home, what some people did before they came across the Seth material, or my own thinking. Who did they emulate then — how did they fill their lives, with what heroes and heroines? [...]

(I should add that when I realized what the check for the $1,000 meant, I had strange initial feelings of guilt and of rebellion, of being now in a pretty vulnerable position in some strange way, even though the money would help with hospital charges. [...]

(For a more graphic interpretation of what a moment point might be, see Jane’s description of the concept she received from Seth in the 149th session.)

[...] It can be defined in relationship to many other aspects of reality. [...]

[...] To many portions of the inner self then, what you would call a moment would correspond to an almost limitless number of moments, for even physical time has no meaning without experience without action.

[...] For all your ideas of time are illusion, not merely philosophical illusions, but delusions as far as any basic reality is concerned.

He did not think of what he lacked, but of what he wanted. And this is what must be done in the health work. [...]

Now it is true that two individuals in particular who have left physical reality have been trying to help Ruburt, particularly in the dream state. [...]

[...] No matter what she says, there will be an appointment for me this week.”

[...] First a mutual friend of Jane’s and F. Halliday explained what was intended by the parking lot. [...]

[...] We are trying to not observe, as much as appreciate, the nature of your present existence; so those of you who are curious and willing about the nature of nonphysical reality then follow as far as you can, using the voice as a guideline into existence that has no reality in physical terms, that knows neither blood nor tissue, that knows not hand or finger or arm. [...] There is no physical being with whom then you can relate; and yet, beyond this and through the isolation is a point of light that is consciousness, that pulses with the power behind all the emotions that you know and that feeds them, that sends them sparkling and tumbling down into the reality that you know. A warmth that forms the very pulse of physical existence and yet is born from the devotion of our isolation; that is born from the creativity that is beyond flesh and bone, that forms fingers without feeling fingers, that forms seasons without knowing spring, that creates sand without knowing sand or ground, that creates the reality that you know without experiencing it, that forms fathers, sons and daughters and mothers without knowing what fathers and mothers and daughters and sons are, and yet from this devotion, from that creativity comes all that you know. [...]

[...] Your image was an excellent one and in your terms it represents the characteristics of space as you might relate to it and also to those black pockets of which the physicists are speaking where all realities swooped into these, so to speak. But these are other dimensions of actuality where the reality that you know automatically is translated in different terms not, however, annihilated there as it seems, but translated. [...]

[...] And as we continue you will find yourselves in other levels of reality and able to manipulate within them. [...]

[...] There should be an important class meeting at another level of reality and hopefully you will remember it. [...]

The multiplicitude of your own system is but one small example of the infinite realities that exist outside it. [...] There are gradations in matter as there are gradations in your color, realities that blend one into the other, and probable systems in which various representations, reflections, shadows and echoes, all probable creations of any given self, mature.

[...] You hold congregation with the many segments of your own reality. [...] Probable selves can be viewed by myself and others like me, for we see your reality in all of its dimensions, and you view it from the small present forms that you know. [...]

You do not understand the diversity of life-forms within your own reality. [...]

[...] You do not understand the multiple reality of your own thoughts or thought forms, and you are not able to follow them out of your own mental home. [...]

What sin did the poor person or the sick person commit? [...] Christ as you think of him was simply saying that you form your own reality. [...]

[...] Unfortunately, no one examines the nature of mental reality from such a viewpoint. [...]

[...] If you become ill you can hate yourself for not being what you think you should be — a perfect physical image made in the likeness of a perfect God.

[...] The beliefs boil down to your ideas of right and wrong, and they involve all of your attitudes concerning illness and health, wealth and poverty, the relationships of the races, religious conflicts, and more important, your intimate day-by-day psychological reality.

[...] I told Jane about my insight, involving her eyes and “Unknown” Reality. [...] But what’s the connection between eyes and the threat of exposure? [...]

[...] They are drawn to what emotionally arouses them or offers them hope, even though they may only be able to put a small portion to practical use. They deal with emotional realities that are rather apart from your own concerns.

[...] If it does, what is its conception of that body?

[...] Then she said that as a young child she was always uneasy at home when it was too quiet—that those were the times when she worried about what her mother was up to. [...]

4. Strange, how things can develop or not in our camouflage reality. I’ll explain what I mean by referring to my two questions for Seth in reverse order. [...]

(“I’m at the point now where I know what Seth’s going to talk about,” “Jane said a few minutes before the session began. [...]

However, the Sumari are practical in that they bring creative visions into physical reality, and try to live their lives accordingly. [...]

[...] The persistent racket, penetrating the wind noise, meant just what we thought it would: an end to the evening’s session. [...]

The change, while admittedly advantageous, reflects the fact that people are being helped, and that in our way we are able to help them change their picture of reality for the better, and to enlarge their understanding.

[...] When you changed them your reality began to change.

He is growing to new understanding, and he will, as my book progresses, make sure he does not concentrate upon what still needs to be done, but upon his successes and his recent physical improvements.

[...] Ruburt did put himself through what he considered a necessary period of stress and training. [...]

[...] Spiritually speaking, his “purpose” is to understand the qualities of love and creativity, to intellectually and psychically understand the sources of his being, and to lovingly create other dimensions of reality of which he is presently unaware. (Pause.) In his thinking, in the quality of his thoughts, in their motion, he is indeed experimenting with a unique and a new kind of reality, forming other subjective worlds which will in their turn grow into consciousness and song, which will in their turn flower from a dream dimension into other ones. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) At the time of this awakening man did experience, then, some sense of separation from his dream body, and from his own inner reality—the world of his dreams—but he was still far more aware of that subjective existence than you are now.

The inner and outer egos do not have a cementlike relationship, but can interrelate with each other in almost infinite fashions, still preserving the reality of physical experience, but varying the accents put upon it by the inner areas of subjective life. [...]

[...] There is no battle for survival—but while you project such an idea upon natural reality, then you will read nature, and your own experiences with it, in that fashion.
