“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pause at 10:17, eyes closed.) Conclusion: You are individuals, yet each of you forms a part of the world’s reality. [...] You understand what television is. [...]

As you learn to allow your impulses some freedom, you will discover their connection with your own idealized version of what life should be. [...]

[...] You have the power to change your life and the world for the better, but in doing so you must, again, reevaluate what your ideals are, and the methods that are worthy of them. [...]

[...] As those men and women enlarge their definitions of reality, the fields of science and religion must expand. [...]

^* In Jane/Seth’s The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, which was published in 1981, I wrote: “Seth maintains that Framework 2, or inner reality, contains the creative source from which we form all events, and that by the proper focusing of attention we can draw from that vast subjective medium everything we need for a constructive, positive life in Framework 1, or physical reality.” [...]

[...] Generally speaking, you have handled such situations well, and what I said about your activities in Framework 2 does still apply.

[...] What I said about money applies. [...]

[...] Think however in terms of what you want as far as a house is concerned, and not on any imagined problems or obstacles in your way. [...]

There are invisible barriers in your understanding that you are moving through yourselves, so that what I am saying will become far clearer when you see the results that are already taking place.

—and remember, your beliefs are your beliefs about reality. [...]

Jane and I didn’t know whether the doctors we did business with even knew what a trance state was. I envisioned some hilarious episodes during which Seth, speaking through Jane, would try to explain to gatherings of medical people just who he was and what he believed. Next, he’d go into what Jane and I believed, and why. Then he’d add some very pungent remarks as to what those in his audiences believed, and why….

[...] For now, though, I present what I have to work with from the saddest, most mournful Sumari song she’s ever created and sung. The tape goes into our files, although I’d love to know what she said on the rest of it….

In Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment Seth outlines the great cosmic and private energies that in our terms once brought into existence the reality of the universe and the birth of those private, cohesive realities in which our own individual daily lives are couched.

[...] I also knew that my wife feared the effect of the message upon me—for what could the phrase she’d already given me mean, except that her soul had at least considered the possibility of leaving her physical body, perhaps to find shelter in a nonphysical realm? [...]

[...] There are genetic cultures operating, then, of literally infinite variety (intently), and they each have their place and their reason, and they each fit into the overall picture—not only of man’s reality but of the planet’s reality, including all of nature.

[...] Yet, since I’d been awake while she slept, we speculated that those same habitual cleaning chores had also occupied me enough consciously to mask my awareness of what another part of me was up to.)

[...] “He did go into that chapter I picked up on earlier today, but I don’t remember what he called it.”)

[...] Since consciousness can travel faster than the speed of light, then when it is not imprisoned by the slower particles of the body it can become aware of some of these other realities. Without training, however, it will not know how to interpret what it sees. [...]

[...] As mentioned earlier, thoughts, containing their own electromagnetic reality, have form whether or not you perceive it. With each thought, then, you send out from yourself shapes and images that can be quite legitimate realities to those within the system of reality into which they are propelled.

[...] Some of your own feelings are propelled into a reality within such systems, adopting within that framework their own mass and form. In the creation and maintenance of your normal reality, you focus your daily waking consciousness so that it becomes effective within the ranges necessary. [...]

The EE units are quite simply incipient forms of reality: seeds automatically given birth, suited for different environments, some appearing within the physical framework, and some not conforming at all to its prerequisites. Now some systems of reality are “bounded” with centers of faster-than-light particles. [...]

[...] Embedded within it were these lines: “Ruburt’s idea did come from me, about your reincarnational episodes involving the Roman officer, and your personal experience illustrates what I am saying in ‘Unknown’ Reality — the individual’s history is written in the psyche, and can indeed be uncovered.” [...]

The same applies to dream reality, for the dreams that you recall are indeed like quick pictures snapped under varying conditions. [...] You should write down your description of each dream picture, therefore, and keep a continuing record, for each one provides more knowledge about the nature of your own psyche and the unknown reality in which it has its existence.

[...] They have as strong a part to play in dream reality as shadows do in the physical world. [...] So hallucinations alter the environment, but in a different way and at another level of reality. [...]

(Long pause at 11:32.) In physical reality there is a time lag that exists between the conception of an idea, say, and its materialization. [...] If not physically expressed, the thought will be actualized in another reality. [...]

[...] If you do not feel your individual reality, then you can never realize that you form it, and so can change it. [...] (Intently:) You mentally shout in such situations that you do not feel what you feel.

(Pause.) What is usually forgotten is the real nature of aggressiveness, which in its truest sense simply means forceful action. [...]

Birth is perhaps the most forceful aggression, in your terms, of which you are capable in your system of reality (emphatically). [...]

[...] The fact is that before being “assailed” by what may seem to be such terrifying unnatural ideas, you have already blocked off an endless variety of far less drastic ones, any of which you could have expressed quite safely and naturally in daily life. [...]

When your scientists finally decipher the physical realities behind the birth of your known universe, they will only discover that this was an exterior manifestation of a vital psychic reality that existed long before. [...] An idea on your plane gives birth to physical constructions, but the idea itself is merely a translation of another reality, which gave birth to it.

[...] And another small but interesting point: On your own plane, there is a subconscious storehouse of knowledge, whereby it is known in a condensed fashion, by all molecules and atoms, exactly which variant or evolutionary attempts have been made, with what results—and always with an eye out, so to speak, for circumstances that might fit forms once adopted with failure, or to attempt other forms for which present circumstances may not be right. [...]

Now at various times you have questioned what the entity actually was, and wondered how fragments, or fragment personalities, could ever become entities, if they ever did.

[...] Then when they have familiarized themselves with the material they can sit in on the sessions and understand what is going on. [...]

[...] As long as you believe in the reality of violence, then violence is a crime, and you reap its fruits. [...]

[...] It will be part of their reality, and others will turn against them. [...]

What I am telling you has been told throughout the centuries and the people have not listened. [...]

[...] She took a few steps without the aid of her table or chair each time—very encouraging progress for her, and fitting in with what Seth has had to say recently about her coming spontaneous urges to begin walking again. [...]

[...] To our considerable surprise, much in the essays has turned out to be not what one might expect, and Jane disagrees with a number of points therein. [...]

[...] I came up with the question the other day, also, because I’m working with his counterpart material for Section 6 in Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality.)

The physical world is dependent upon the relationship of everything from electrons to molecules, to mountains and oceans, from cultural organizations to private dreams, and in the scheme of reality these are all interwoven with exquisite order, spontaneity, and a logic beyond any with which you are familiar.

[...] Just what we wanted; the enthusiastic interest really made me feel great. [...]

[...] Told my class last night the whole bit, and said that from now on classes were to be focused about the material; we were going to study it from scratch; this was my life work, my direction, what I was meant to do. [...]

[...] The feeling I really was in contact with some… all encompassing reality.

(According to him, tonight’s session after 9:52 isn’t book material either, but Jane and I are presenting it here because in it Seth returns to questions I’d asked earlier in Mass Events: What about the roles played in human affairs by viruses like smallpox? As I quoted myself in the opening notes for the 840th session: “What is the real relationship between the host organism and disease?” See Session 840 itself, and certain parts of Session 841.

[...] What if researchers next find out that in some as-yet-unsuspected manner, the female can in turn pass on a cancer-causing virus to her mate?

[...] Even with his seemingly destructive ways, man can injure that joint reality only to a minor extent, regardless of such potential fiascos as that posed by Three Mile Island, or even nuclear war. [...]

(9:23.) If the simplest particle is so endowed with impetus, with hidden ideals that seek fulfillment, then what about the human being? [...]

[...] We think that either one of those belief systems is much too inadequate to explain reality in any sort of comprehensive way.

[...] Many religious people believe that a god exists in a larger dimension of reality, and that he created the universe while being himself outside of it. [...]

[...] The universe emerged into actuality in the same way (underlined), but to a different degree, that any idea emerges from what you think of as subjectivity into physical expression.

[...] “I thought that was what there was tonight. [...]

[...] You believed that reality had more to it than the senses showed. You believed that together you could achieve what had not been achieved earlier — that you could somehow or other offer meaningful and real solutions to the world’s problems…. [...]

[...] The disappointments you have faced indeed make such a tale seem to be a direct contradiction to life’s realities. [...] The child in you sensed more, of course: It sensed its own greater reality in another framework entirely, from which it had only lately emerged — yet with which it was intimately connected. It felt itself surrounded, then, by the greater realities of Framework 2.

[...] The child may know that the illness is the result of feelings that the parents would consider quite cowardly, or otherwise involves emotional realities that the parents simply would not understand. [...] Little by little the fine relationship, the precise connections between psychological feelings and bodily reality, erode.

They experiment very often, and quite secretly, since their elders are at the same time trying to make the children conform to a given concrete reality that is more or less already mass-produced for them.

[...] The chair of course does not take up space, but is part of what you call space. [...] It is part of what you call time. [...]

We have been speaking of the electric reality and actuality of thoughts and emotions, and of dreams, and of all such experiences which appear to be purely psychological in origin, and take up no space in your physical universe.

[...] The action as it happened, then, falling through the intensity, would be falling into what I mean by distance. [...]

[...] You realize now that psychological conditions have their existence within electrical reality, and so certain frames of mind will then be duplicated within the electrical field.

is what I am and what you are.

and cry that what I sense

that what is unsaid is all —

what I cannot hold

[...] All probabilities have their reality in notime, and the creative accomplishments that take place within notime generate all the probable realities that will ever exist or have existed within the various time systems. [...]

[...] You come out of notime into what you think of as time, and back to notime again.

[...] Pace slower.) I am trying to give you some information concerning the back symptom, and will have to deepen Ruburt’s trance, because of what you might call the underground noises. [...]

[...] But that attitude, again, is a symptom of what still remains of inner confusion. [...]

[...] But what it was always changes, but that which was is always taken along.

That which was is constantly taken into what you call the present. [...]

[...] Instead the ego will merely be slightly surprised at behavior which it does not condone, but eventually will accept because it has been forced to recognize its reality.

When the ego is a very rigid one however, it will not accept the reality of these rejected patterns so easily, and according to the nature of its rigidity it may restrict so many areas of activity that the inside action, or the inside impetus for expression, almost equally balances the ego force itself.

I will tell you the book, in what Ruburt thinks of as its somewhat inane simplicity, is very profound. [...] The author, while basically correct, ignores for example the reality of reincarnation; and Ruburt’s protests to the contrary, reincarnation belongs both with metaphysics and psychology, and cannot be ignored.

[...] I do not know to what this refers.” Illia is my interpretation of what Jane said, with some emphasis. [...]

[...] You can indeed learn to perceive reality in other terms, and you are both doing so.

You must still deal with physical reality, for it is definitely the representation of inner data. [...]
