“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

—even when your own technological advancements prove beyond doubt that in many cases the evidence of your own outer senses is wrong, and does not represent reality, but represents an arbitrary pattern forced upon reality. Through the outer senses you must always see reality in arbitrary, really unchanging terms; and reality can simply not be held within such boundaries.

[...] Again, there just is not any particular boundary between what is self and what is not self. [...]

[...] Miss Callahan’s condition appeared to be remarkably good, compared to what it had been when last we visited her in the hospital some weeks ago. [...]

The cells and molecules, forming their psychic gestalt into a particular human physical structure, are separated from what you might call the outer environment, and yet they are also connected to the outer environment more than they are separated from it. [...]

[...] I want if possible to get the idea over that this system involves realities that are directly experienced and vivid, and also that in some ways emotions and thoughts are more directly perceived in that field than your physical field. [...] In your system they need to be translated and given reality by a method of interrelationships. [...]

[...] This field is also concerned with what you call growth in your own field. [...]

Where matter would exist there, a concentration of energy forms what you could think of as a body form, body meaning mass, yet it would not be matter in your terms. [...]

[...] It is an electric reality in which most certainly even thoughts exist as actualities, ever-moving spheres of more or less independent electric systems.

Do the exercises in my book, The Nature of Personal Reality, to discover what conditions of a mental nature, or of psychological origin, are causing you distress. [...]

[...] “It really bothers me when I don’t start a session within a reasonable time: I wonder what kind of a block is there, you know….” [...]

[...] You do this by discarding ideas of unworthiness and powerlessness, no matter what their sources. [...]

(Long pause at 10:10.) Natural attributes show themselves quite clearly in early childhood, for example, when you are allowed greater freedom to do what you want to do. [...]

[...] To do so he must change his own reality, alter his feeling of relationship with himself, and between himself and others. [...] New sentence: When attempts are made to change that reality, then the reality of family and friends is also changed to some extent. [...]

[...] And without the vitality, what good is it?”

[...] [I’ve also had others in which Jane was okay physically – walking well, and so forth.] “But what happens,” I asked, as we waited for the session to begin, “after I have the dream about you, for example? [...]

[...] “What good does it do for Seth to go into me? [...]

(By 8:55 PM Jane was uncomfortable and nervous because she didn’t know what Seth was going to talk about. [...]

[...] The study of the inner workings of the self is closely connected to the study of the universe as it exists in all its levels of reality.

[...] Mankind still deals with surfaces, depending mainly as he does upon the powers of the outer ego, whose purpose it is to deal only with surface reality.

This is not to say that such surface reality is not vital and important, or that some information about its own nature cannot be gleaned from its study; but only a small amount can be so obtained. [...]

I have mentioned that what I call the dream universe is indeed composed of molecular structure, and that it is a continuing reality, even though your own awareness of it is most usually limited, for quite necessary reasons, to the hours of your own sleep. [...]

[...] You may say that in sleeping you focus your energies to form a different reality than the reality of waking physical matter.

Now, regarding again the nature of action, I would like to discuss action in relation to the dream reality, for you are intimately familiar with action in dreams, and your practical experience will enable you to understand the true nature of action more clearly.

[...] Reality then is a result of the focus of energy and attention.

[...] He dealt with reality differently. [...]

[...] In each system of belief, the evidence however is overwhelming, and in the vast nature of reality both notions are equally beside the point, and one is no truer or more false than the other—a hard pill to swallow for modern man.

[...] The cause of epidemics, say, is as I have given it in the early chapters of Mass Reality. [...]

[...] In the larger scheme of reality, this provided a framework for individuals to taste infancy or childhood without growing to maturity. [...]

You exist in more dimensions than you know, and your own reality (voice quite a bit louder and stronger) transcends your understanding, and transcends the limitations of your own intellectual knowledge… (pace faster, still fairly loud) these truths must be understood intuitively…. In quiet moments of your existence… (faster here) you will know your part in creation… uniqueness, and your own individuality (now slower), for through your own individuality what you call God expresses himself and is known.

[...] In…what is now, or what was, Warsaw. [...]

[...] They do not understand what they are.

[...] This is what you are after. [...]

[...] In Personal Reality I stressed many of these points for our readers, but you yourselves forget to apply them in that one important area of your lives. [...] Do not identify with what you think of as past failures. [...]

[...] Once again, I wondered what we’d been doing while all that time passed.)

[...] With what he has learned, and with that emotional touchstone, he has indeed made good strides, which are quite obvious for both of you to see. [...]

[...] To some extent the same attitude applies to whatever you do physically, for you compare it to what you think you should be doing that is perhaps more vigorous. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) He became disenchanted at a young age with the many conflicting schools of truth, so when he found what he finally settled upon, he would brook no interference. When you operate, practically speaking, in terms of Framework 2, you have a stronger impact upon time and reality. [...]

They show how you use your time, and imply what has come from the past, and what is projected into the future. [...]

What you do in those situations is in a way concentrated. [...] In a manner of speaking they are hypnotic containers, emphasizing what you want emphasized, and cutting off data that do not apply, or that is contradictory. [...]

I will tell you what I can of what you want to know about Nebene’s times, for example, but you can also obtain from him, if you understand tonight’s material, information of that nature, and “firsthand” data about the various sects he visited. [...]

[...] Each one of us is an immortal portion, a spark of endless perception and beauty and feeling — and yes, of conflict and denial at times — within this probable reality that we’re all creating together, even when we don’t know we’re doing it! I watch with awe as within this reality each one of us expresses as best we can our creative understanding of this wonderful mystery.

[...] What happened? [...]

I know what happened, and yet consciously I’ll never grasp all of the psychic ramifications involved. [...]

[...] Later, she helped me proofread the new editions of Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal Reality that Amber-Allen/New World Library has published. [...]

He ignored what seemed to be a fact of reality, built his own constructive expectations, and made them the reality. [...]

You must remember, once more, that expectations are the blocks with which you build your reality. [...]

[...] I want you to see what forms an environment. [...]

[...] She had been “far-out” again, with little or no memory of what was said. [...]

Psychic structures interweave, and realities do, one through the other (as Jane wrote this afternoon). [...] This does not mean that I do not have my own reality, for I do, but in my relationship with you and Ruburt, and in my relationship with your world, I do take certain characteristics that come from each of your realities.

[...] Certainly a connection with all of this is the call Jane received from Andrija Puharich a few days ago; he wanted her to see what she could get about physics; he’d been to a meeting of physicists at Princeton University, Wheeler’s home base; he’d given Jane the names of some well-known physicists who were interested in what psychics could get, but she hadn’t remembered any names.)

[...] What I said earlier still applies on that point.

On the one hand, man did indeed feel that he had fallen from a high estate, because he remembered that earlier freedom of dream reality—a reality in which the other creatures were still to some degree (underlined) immersed.³ Man’s mind, incidentally, at that point had all the abilities that you now assign to it: the great capacity for contrast of imagination and intellect, the drive for objectivity and for subjectivity (softly), the full capacity for the development of language—a keen mind that was as brilliant in any caveman, say, as it is in any man on a modern street.

[...] Many people ask, for example: “What is the purpose of my life?” Meaning: “What am I meant to do?” but the purpose of your life, and each life, is in its being (intently). That being may include certain actions, but the acts themselves are only important in that they spring out of the essence of your life, which simply by being is bound to fulfill its purposes.

Basically, what made him feel good was good. He was gifted with strong clear instincts that were meant to lead him toward his own greatest development, to his own greatest fulfillment, in such a way that he also helped to bring about the highest potentials of all of the other species of consciousness (intently). His natural impulses were meant to provide inner directives that would guide him in just such a direction, so that he sought what was the best for himself and for others.

[...] He was enchanted also by his own subjective reality, the body in which he found himself, and by the differences between himself and others like him, and the other creatures. [...]

You do not understand what true womanhood or true manhood is. [...] As a result, the reflection of sexual schism taints all of your activities, but most of all it limits your psychological reality.

What you think of as (underlined) male ego-oriented characteristics are simply those human attributes that the species encouraged, brought into the foreground, and stressed. [...]

[...] Man first changed his myths, and then altered the reality that reflected them.

As a result, you see in nature only what you want to see, and you provide yourselves with a pattern or model of nature that conforms with your beliefs.

[...] I didn’t ask her what she’d learned; I thought it better to get the material in a session, if possible. [...]

(Jane didn’t feel too well before the session, what with all her bodily changes still taking place, but she did well once she began the session.)

Ruburt wondered the other day what my own attitude might be toward the famous disclaimer, and I began to tell him. [...]

[...] In any case, when you were first working with Frameworks 1 and 2, you saw many examples of Framework 2’s activities, as they impinged into your reality, and you were quite pleased. [...]

[...] She said she felt as though she was listening to someone else speak, but could not retain what she heard, nor did she know what was coming next.

[...] Marie wrote Jane on October 11 that she has not given birth for two years, and Seth dealt with what looked like a discrepancy between the two sets of facts to a partial degree in the 98th session. [...]

[...] John now feels also that things are percolating below the surface, and he requested Jane and I find out what we could about the current state of affairs involving Searle, from Seth tonight.

[...] This of course would lead to the further question: To what purpose would such elongation serve, in which direction would it tend? [...]

(I didn’t know exactly what Jane meant. [...] I didn’t ask Jane what her interpretation of this significance was, by the way. [...]

[...] The greater reality of the self is therefore largely unsuspected, and the great knowledge possessed by it remains unknown at a conscious level.

[...] Most individuals therefore do not contend with larger portions of their own reality. [...]

[...] (Slowly.) Through the years (pause), Ruburt has been more and more aware of other kinds of psychological realities and structures than those usually experienced. [...]

[...] “Once again,” I said, “whatever it is, I know you’ll accept it, since it’s the reality you’re creating. And once again, I’m the one who’s pushing you to use your own abilities to save yourself, meaning at least trying to learn what’s going on through the sessions, for example. You should be telling me what to do—not the other way around.... [...]

[...] “I was afraid I was going to lose what I had,” Jane said, “so I’ll see what comes through in a minute.” I kept my mouth shut, but I had lots of what I considered to be vital questions.

[...] “What are you trying to do?” my wife cried out, “shock me into getting better?”

[...] Again and again, I thought of resistance, of the sinful self putting up roadblocks, no matter what the consequences. [...]
