“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Again, remember what I have told you when people expect a hearty longevity, then that is their reality—and do not forget then that your difficulties lie also in the realm of cultural beliefs. [...]

[...] With the writing I sought to make sense of everything at least intellectually, but for the moment at least, I thought, this left untouched what seemed to be the more powerful emotional tangle of beliefs. [...]

[...] As it happened I woke up with a start, feeling at first what I thought was a spasm in my chest, but quickly realized it was a part of my dream reaction. [...]

[...] That is, you interpret that feeling as panic while the body consciousness, through physical sensation, is actually asking nervously: “What is wrong? [...]

[...] To do that properly the intellect is to make clear, concise decisions, on its level, of matters that are its concern, and therefore to present its own picture of reality to add to the entire construct. [...] On the other hand, you have been taught that the intellect, the “flower of consciousness,” is a frail, vulnerable adjunct — again, a chance creation, without meaning and without support — without support because you believe that “beneath it” lie “primitive, animalistic, bloody instincts,” against which reason must exert what strength it has.

[...] (Long pause.) At each moment, from the most microscopic levels the body (pause) in one way or another is ascertaining a constant picture of its position within physical reality. [...] You end up with a predominating picture of reality in any given moment — one that is the result of the activity of psychological, biological, and electromagnetic stratas. [...]

He is not responsible for other people’s realities, but he is responsible for his own. [...] The ill woman’s reality does not threaten his own in any way. [...]

[...] The child identifies with its own psychic reality first of all — then discovers its feelings, and claims those, and discovers its thoughts and intellect, and claims those (all quite intently).

It is indeed quite time for us to discuss the true nature and reality of what is so loosely called suggestion. [...]

[...] She usually achieves what she calls an excellent state, and this is as far as the experiments have carried her.

[...] Instead what is advisable is a gradual but definite program that will result in a legitimate and a long-lasting cure.

All of them will be important, and all of them will serve to add dimension to the reality which the sessions involve. [...]

[...] One of the deep disappointments that neither of you have faced is the difference between what your personal relationship is and what it could and should be.

Much of what you discussed today was discussed by me a good deal of time ago. [...]

[...] You, now, did for some time get into the habit of nonsmiling, which led Ruburt to further reinforce his own negative ideas of what you are thinking. [...]

[...] Your lives in many ways did not satisfy you, but rather than accept this fact clearly and cast about for what changes or solutions there might be, both of you tried to keep everything precisely (underlined) as it was, make no changes, and live with the dissatisfaction that became a constant inner problem.

[...] It will enable you to see it more clearly for what it is, and therefore you will be able to manipulate camouflage patterns more adequately.

(“What do you have to say about the psychiatrist’s idea, that all this is merely Jane’s subconscious talking?”)

We have gone into this before, and I have no doubt that we will on endless occasions; and if I succeed in convincing you of my reality as a personality I will have done exceedingly well. [...]

(“What do you think of our idea about sending a copy of this material to the lab at Duke University?”)

By such a belief you so attract probabilities that you actually miss the threats that appear at one level of reality. [...]

The answer lies in understanding what I have said.

[...] The book will be published after Personal Reality, but before Aspects.)

[...] The body is using what it gets now efficiently, then. [...]

[...] As they change, bringing about improvements, you find them in reality as you understand it. [...]

(I understood the import of last night’s dream much better than its predecessor, however, having learned what that first dream meant — my own fears on a number of counts.

[...] What a treat that will be!

[...] Reality is so constructed that each individual seeking such fulfillment does so not at the expense of others, but in such a way that the quality of life is increased for all.

He was bound and determined to explore the nature of reality. He wanted to protect himself against self-delusion, of going too fast too soon, until he had enough knowledge to know what he was doing. [...]

In his own way Ruburt has used symptoms as what he considered a safe framework in which to explore those areas he wanted to explore. [...]

[...] I said what I thought in a mild way, but I could tell that often they didn’t really understand what I was saying—though at times Betts surprised me a little by agreeing with me. [...]

[...] In the emergency room downstairs I’d met Peg Lyon, who also talked about 458—just as I’d started wondering about what the situation there was these days. [...]

It is that desire for life and expression that first of all sparked the entrance into physical reality. [...]

[...] If any of you do (underlined) still believe in the Freudian or Darwinian selves, then you will be leery about impulses to examine your own consciousness, afraid of what murderous debris might be uncovered. [...] She worried about her overweight condition, and [was] depressed at what she thought of as her lack of discipline in following diets. [...]

[...] There would be no extensions of the self that would allow you to travel such a psychological distance to those thresholds of reality that form my mental environment. [...]

[...] Now at my request Seth gave over a few paragraphs to what I think is a very perceptive interpretation of a dream I had had last night. [...]

[...] In the terms of which we are speaking, however, the young species utilized what I have called the “inner senses” to a far greater degree than you do. [...]

A man, wondering what a tree was like, became one, and let his own consciousness flow into the tree. [...]

In thinking your own private thoughts, you also add to a larger psychic and mental reality of which you are part. [...]

[...] She felt somewhat disoriented, yet couldn’t explain very well in just what way. [...]

First of all, what have you done recently that was of benefit in your situation? [...]

In between, there were periods of body soreness in one area or another, which he and you handled well, remembering what I said. [...]

[...] With that as background, what do you think about communication?

[...] You did not know what to do with them, or whether or not they should lead to a sexual encounter. [...]

What did you wear to work three days ago? What did you have for breakfast a week ago? [...] What frightened you last? [...] What did you do just after lunch yesterday? What color shoes did you wear three days ago? [...]

[...] What do they represent? If that experience were a dream, what would it mean? And into what kind of waking life would you rise in the morning?

The next time you find yourself in the middle of a like experience, with associations flowing freely, then become more aware of what you are doing. [...]

The idea, then, is not to annihilate normal consciousness, but quite literally to expand it by bringing into its focus other levels of reality that it can indeed intrinsically perceive and utilize.

[...] When work in terms of making money was applied to writing, then divisions occurred in his attitude as to what might be salable and bring money, and therefore fall into the work category—and what might not be salable but highly creative regardless.

His attitude in its own way is the same as you mentioned earlier this evening, in that he believes he is lucky not to have to work out, and so must make what he is doing pay. [...]

[...] He used to feel that you were accusing him when you said that he did not know what it was to punch a time clock, meaning that he did not have the guts or the ability. [...]

You considered them in a good light, and remembered what I said about absolutes. [...]

[...] (The chiropractor.) I wanted him to face the symptoms for what they were, and to find the cause. [...]

None of us are ever equipped, for general purposes, to perceive reality in all of its forms. [...]

[...] Some of your dreams tell you far more about the nature of reality than the most vivid physical experience.

[...] I do not know to what this refers. [...]

(Before the session Jane showed me the paper she’d written this afternoon, on the direction she felt that Seth would be taking in Mass Reality. [...]

Each physical moment is literally filled to the brim with the unceasing vitality of Framework 2. Regardless of what you are doing at any given time, the creative abilities are always active, and they seize upon the most mundane circumstances as well as the most profound, seeking to bring to the surface of consciousness the greater dimensions of awareness that are possible. [...]

[...] That delightful leisure, that “loafing of the soul,” from Ruburt’s Whitman—the poet—is what ends up producing the kind of great creative “works” that Ruburt searches for.

(10:12.) What I am saying, again, is quite apart from your having regular working hours, but you would do far better to choose another word than “work.” [...]

[...] This unity then puts you in a position to begin a truly fulfilling existence in other realities after physical death. [...]

[...] The conscious intellectual faculties had to realize what was operating in order that they themselves be fulfilled. [...]

[...] He knows intuitively what he knows. [...]

What you are after is the recognition by the immediate self of the larger inner self of which it is part. [...]

[...] 1. Since he is presumably dead by now, what does Dr. Instream think about psychic phenomena? [...] 2. What about the young psychologist we met at Oswego during our visit to see Instream? What does that individual now think about psychic phenomena: Does he remember Jane, etc? [...]

[...] We learned among other things that Jane felt she had to hold off on new inspiration while we fulfilled existing commitments—schedules and contracts, etc., and that she wanted to help type “Unknown” Reality, Volume 2, presumably, I thought so that she could get it out of the way so she’d be free to go on to other things. [...]

[...] He began thinking in terms of what he could do, so that now we see that he is not only physically desiring to do more, and trying it, but also mentally stimulated, and with a new sense of purpose as far as “Unknown” is concerned, and a desire reawakened to play with Seven.

[...] Make an effort to alter your focus—just your focus—so that you concentrate upon what you want to do. [...]

[...] This personification of femaleness in the male is the true meaning of what Jung called the “anima.”

[...] However, the women do not need to be reminded of their femaleness, but again, so that they do not overidentify with their present sex, there is what Jung called the “animus,” or the hidden male within the woman.

The same applies to a male when he over-identifies with what he believes to be male characteristics, for whatever reason. [...]

(Pace slower.) They not only have a reality in the psyche, however, but they are imbedded in genetically codified data by the inner self — a genetic memory of past psychic events — transposed into the genetic memory of the very cells that compose the body.
