“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It will be what you make of it, so be clear in your mind as to what you want to make of it.

[...] But for some reason he will lose within the organization what strength he now has.

You cannot accept it otherwise, and you are not willing to start over with a new organization, for those creative talents within you persist in using what clay you have, and then you want to turn the clay into gold. [...]

[...] You will taste your own power through what you make of that company, and then you will use the power for other means.

[...] It seems that several different altered states of consciousness were involved, so we’re very interested in what Seth will say. [...]

[...] She was still “groggy” when session time arrived, but decided to sit for it to see what happened. [...]

[...] You are also quite correct, in that the ape also acted as an animal medicine man-woman (as in Personal Reality), symbolically acting out a part that once very well could have been performed in fact. [...]

[...] He is not just a symbol either, but represents a quite real psychic construct, alive in your terms but in a different reality, and connected in a way I cannot explain with Ruburt’s physical being, with the source of the flesh that physically composes him.

[...] On the 19th we received from our publisher for checking the proofs of the index for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality, then two days later the proofs for the front matter of Psyche arrived. [...]

[...] They act as symbols of inner reality, so it’s only natural that whether he’s aware of it or not, man perceives objects in such a fashion that they also stand for symbols that first originate in his dreams.

The Christ drama did splash over into historical reality. [...]

[...] “I knew there was some connection between the Christ thing and what’s happening in the world today, and that was it. [...]

[...] “Sometimes what I get down — even when it’s good poetry — can’t come close to what I feel — it’s too weak. [...]

[...] “But now I don’t know what to do,” she said several times, looking quite bewildered. [...]

[...] Since telepathy exists (as described in Chapter Three), the subject will react not only to verbal commands but to the unspoken beliefs of the practitioner, thereby “proving,” of course, the hypnotist’s theory of what his profession is.

[...] The one suggestion that can break through is this: “I create my reality, and the present is my point of power.” [...]

[...] However, once a personal encounter has been made, then you accept it for what it is, and respond positively. [...]

You know very well what you are doing, in other words. [...]

[...] It does mean that the psychic activity within the sessions carries its own psychic reality. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Ruburt should make no future hard decisions as to what he will and will not do, but give the intuitive self freedom in such cases.

[...] He did not really believe, intellectually, what I told him, that you form your own reality, and he felt that the symptoms would also help. [...]

Other portions of the personality, while recognizing this, still felt that the personality as a whole needed to impose some restraints upon what it regarded as flamboyantly spontaneous qualities. [...]

[...] He also felt that you had adopted symptoms earlier, somewhat that as a system of controls—that you were so emotionally upset you didn’t know what to do, and therefore put yourself in a position where you could do little of importance: you could not make errors.

[...] He was terrified of the vulnerability to pain, and yet he felt the ability to face and handle the pain was something he would run away from otherwise; that he had done everything to avoid it, and that it was one of life’s physical realities that he had refused to admit. [...]

[...] Mother spoke to us, or one of us asked her what the trouble was, I am not sure which. Mother answered, but though I saw her lips move plainly, I could not hear what she said. [...] I believe it was I who then asked her to repeat what she had said, over the noise which was something like a rushing wind. [...]

Dreams, then, come from various levels of what you call the subconscious. [...]

[...] And because the focus brings it outside of camouflage time and space, it is also able to project itself into what you call the future.

Without dreams the outer camouflaged self would lose all touch with inner realities, or would be in danger of thus denying its own heritage; and therefore the physical body is so constructed that excess chemicals must be discharged and transformed into human action, or the physical mechanism would be clogged with poisons.

[...] He began to understand, however, that more could be offered, that the inner realities of mind, in some fashion, caused the exterior realities of experience. [...]

You make your own reality—and few people are trying to understand that principle as you are. This involves a learning process—a whole new orientation, not only of thought but of feeling, and necessitates a different kind of emotional reality.

[...] And what good was the most equitable arrangement of land or property, of food or goods, if the ordinary worker was still somehow basically discontented?

It is very important that your readers also do not latch upon “you make your own reality” in such a way that they reinforce old beliefs about poor self-worth, sin, or iniquity. [...]

[...] you will experience them as the objective manifestation of circumstances, conditions, and events; what you write on the inside, you experience on the outside.”

[...] for you still do not understand that you create your physical reality! [...]

[...] If Ruburt had known what was in my mind, he would have been nervous and self-conscious.

Therefore I cannot tell you in advance of any such demonstrations, and in the case of my advice to Philip the slight demonstration of what you would call, I suppose, clairvoyant knowledge had two purposes.

(“Just what do you mean when you speak of demonstrations? [...]

[...] What I do I will do. [...]

[...] Discover what the purposes were. [...] If your mother hated you, you may have used that to assert independence, to give you an excuse or a pathway; but in all cases you form your own reality, and so you agreed to it.

[...] Women, now trying to assert their rights, often fall into the same trap, but backwards — trying to deny what they think of as inferior intuitive elements for what they think of as superior logical ones.

[...] They constantly compare what they do with what they think they are capable of, but often without making a start toward the development of their own abilities.

[...] I trust myself and my integrity,” if at the same time you are afraid of your own emotions and become upset whenever you catch yourself in what you think of as a negative frame of mind.

[...] I am much more concerned for now that you understand the dimensions of action as they exist within the dream world, within psychological realities, and within other scopes with which you are yourselves somewhat familiar.

An action has reality, as you know, within every possible field of activity. [...]

What you have here is an attempt to objectify, or stand apart from action in such a refusal. [...]

[...] Such an emotion may of course be given release through dreams, but this is of limited value to the ego involved, since the ego does not accept the reality of dream existence.

[...] As we sat for tonight’s session Jane said, “I know what Seth’s going to call Augustus’s other personality: ‘Augustus Two.’” We were amused, thinking of Seth and Seth Two.¹ Now, Jane began speaking slowly in trance.)

[...] This part of his beliefs, therefore, and this particular self-image, took over his conscious mind and became what we will here call Augustus Two. [...]

[...] He simply views physical reality through an undeviating system of beliefs. [...]

[...] The wife began to take notes of what was done and said. [...]

[...] If you want to change the world for the better, and if you are determined to do so, no matter at what cost to yourself or others, no matter what the risk, and if you believe that those ends justify any means at your disposal, then you are a fanatic.

[...] Here are a few specific examples of what I mean.

[...] She believes that she forms her own reality. [...]

What does that mean? [...]

[...] You did not know where the action was, so your idea about reality kept you in a state of fighting dragons. [...]

[...] I cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of your joint work with the pendulum, because of what it implies.

[...] But Seth came through with a page on Jane’s recent excursions into three of her probable realities, so the session wound up at 11:42.)

(I hadn’t realized four years ago that Jane was speculating about leaving physical reality. [...]

I’ve done the best I could
with thy sweet heritage of blood,
one creature like all the rest
born from your power and benevolence,
graced to share in what you are
for your love’s multiplication
knows no prejudice,
so let me humbly state my thanks

[...] I see now that given the lifetime challenges she’s chosen, such thoughts will continue to play a prominent role in the reality Jane is creating for herself:)

[...] Now regardless of what interpretations Ruburt wants to put upon what I am saying, whether or not he wants to accept the reincarnation influence, the fact is that what I am saying has a psychological reality that neither of you can deny, and one that acts constantly in your lives.

When you think of yourself simply as Robert Butts you limit your reality. Nebene characteristics represent a portion of your reality. It is up to you to use those characteristics as best you can, and they can be very handy in what is a present life existence.

[...] They tune in on different realities, and all realities are actual. [...]

[...] Yet, in terms of physical construction this is what you would find, and this, if it were understood, is what is seen in the actual construction of the most minute physical particle under observation in your laboratories.

[...] I don’t recall what it said. [...] I then saw what I think was the cover. [...]

[...] She thought of Seth’s statements in the 104th session, concerning a sale that “has developed,” and wondered just what the statement meant. [...]

[...] You projected to her system of reality and the environment was pseudophysical, the projection of her own thoughts made real in objective terms within the system.

Some of your environment under such conditions and at certain stages does represent what many occultists call thought-forms. [...]

[...] This is precisely what you are doing in your projections.

[...] There will be a time when Ruburt will project out of his body during sessions and remember what transpires while I speak through his body. [...]

Now if you wish, quality-depth operates within the value climate of psychological reality, and gives truly amazing dimension to the spacious present, which is contained within the value climate of psychological reality.

[...] I have hinted once in the past that I was touched by something that could be loosely related to, or substituted for, what you think of as time. [...]

Here we will most probably run into some difficulty, but I will try to explain what I mean, and will clear up any questions later. [...]

[...] Jane felt that what came through was close enough but still left a lot to be desired.
