“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] When you send a communication or telegram, you merely send words. [...] I need not be entirely focused within your dimension, in other words, but I am sufficiently focused to meet our appointments. [...]

“The words I speak to you transmit information, but the words are not the information, only the verbal carriers of it.

[...] In other words, I think that ESP abilities are natural ones that we have denied because they seem to contradict our ideas of reality.

[...] The Seth Material reveals what is beneath the normal reality that we know, but the very translation into words must necessarily distort the meaning.

[...] We have received no word about their meeting, although it is possible a decision was made Saturday. [...]

[...] The voices, though he does not consciously recall their message, the voices spoke words of encouragement. [...]

[...] Lucinda (phonetically; I asked Jane to repeat the word). They passed here. [...]

[...] (gesture; groping for words) what would be the porch railing and the roof is round.

[...] It has nothing to do with long words and sorrowful faces. [...]

[...] When continuity is taken into consideration however then the analogy is a poor one, since the word channel seems to imply a more or less permanent opening, and this is not true. [...]

[...] In other words the inner senses have an immediate, constant knowledge of the body in a way that the outer senses do not.

[...] These senses are not magical, they certainly are not religious in any sense of the word, and I am not some degenerating secondary personality of Ruburt’s. Nor will I be compared with some long-bearded, beady-eyed spirit sitting on cloud nine.

[...] He would be sensitive to them, in other words, while not touching them with anything like physical hands, as for example you feel heat or cold without necessarily touching ice or fire.

(While Jane was reading over the 42nd session this morning after breakfast, the word disentanglement came to her mind. [...]

[...] I do not want gullible ninnies, however I certainly would enjoy being taken at my word occasionally. [...]

[...] In other words this expansion has nothing to do with your (underline) idea of space. [...]

[...] Imagine in other words consciousness, growth, reality and expansion, having nothing to do with expansion of space in your terms, but an almost complete freedom of psychological realities, and you will come at least within the realm of understanding what I mean by an expanding universe that has nothing to do with the expanding universe of which your scientists speak.

[...] Their words fall with great weight because you are so at the mercy of their support. [...]

(12:25 a.m. Seth, Jane said, was all ready to keep going if we gave the word — the rest of the chapter “was right there.” [...]

(During break a discussion of religious experiences and the connotations of words. [...]

[...] You must learn to see the reality within the words that people use to clothe realities but you must think and you will, emotionally. [...]

[...] Your heartbeat has more to tell you than any philosopher’s word if you once listen to them and feel what they say. [...]

Now you can all play around with your vocabulary, but what you know is not dependent upon words and do not allow them to limit you. [...]

(To Bette and Joel.) In other words, your experience and your experience as encountered in class in a reincarnational framework did indeed, and does indeed, and will indeed, in certain terms exist. [...]

([Joel:] “In one of the stories that Jane wrote, the guy went down to the beach with the wind chimes and (words lost) tree and he selected atoms and that somehow absorbed them through himself into another system until there wasn’t any physical world that we know of left at all, and then as I recall at the end he popped through his whole universe and isn’t that somewhat the same kind of thing? [...]

[...] I would like to suggest an experiment and I am suggesting it to you to see your reaction, like I couldn’t. I was really undecided whether to suggest it to Jane or to you, but you see like I’m kind of at an impasse because, like, there are a lot of words and a lot of concepts and philosophies bandied about, but when you make a claim you know such as that in as specific and nonconfusable terms such as that it would be very simple to demonstrate, and what I was wondering is, either now or at some time when Jane would agree to it, for instance, I brought some playing cards with me, ten cards...”)

[...] In other words, if you had made kind of a nebulous statement about the nature of your perceptivity, if you had said something...”)

You may try two different wordings for a start, and now I am speaking of the precise wording. [...]

[...] A word concerning the dream experiments. [...]

Now the second alternative wording would be the same as the one I have just given you, but the “wake up” could be omitted. [...]

(From the 22nd session for February 4, 1964:) I have never trusted the written word half as much as I trust the spoken word, and on your plane it is difficult to trust either. [...] I do not mind speaking through Ruburt’s mouth — somehow the sound of the words is rather pleasant. But seeing myself transformed more or less into plain black and white words on a sheet of paper seems dull and uninteresting. [...]

Because Ruburt deals in words [as a writer], it is easy for me to communicate in this manner. That is, he automatically translates inner data given by me into coherent, valid, and faithful camouflage⁵ patterns — into words. [...]

[...] It is somewhat like having to free a particular word from a strong emotional association. I experience patterns made up of concepts, and you use words in associations.

(Seth, then, would be a message from the source self except that in this case the messenger is the message, formed into a richly “worded” psychological structure instead of into dry words on, say, a telegram. [...]

[...] But everything in the universe exists at one time, simultaneously, and the first words ever spoken still ring throughout the universe; and in your terms, the last words ever spoken have been said time and time again, for there is no ending and no beginning. [...]

[...] Jane as Seth repeated the word.)

[...] In a way quite impossible to describe, it would be true to say that our sessions actually translate multidimensional images into words. You have no words for the kinds of images I am speaking of, for they are not objects, nor pictures of objects, nor images of images, but instead the inner dimensions, each separate and glowing, but connected, prisms of knowledge, that have within themselves more reality than you can presently begin to imagine.

(Pause, one of many.) I choose my words quite carefully at times, because I realize the various interpretations that can be placed upon them. [...]

(5:37 PM.) One small note: these sessions also carry overlays of meanings doubled in upon themselves that are connected with the words but are not part of the words, but carried by the sounds. [...]

[...] Not a word from Seth about why she’s been so miserable for the past five days, or why her decubiti are worse, or my suggestion that she go back into the hospital, or the role the sinful self plays in all of this. [...]

Now, if there is one thing I try to do in these sessions, again through my personality as I show you, and that is an old (words lost)is to show you that spontaneity is important and that death is not the ending that you suppose, and that no hobblegoblins are waiting to get you when you die, and that you are going to be very busy when you are finished with this existence as indeed I am still busy. [...]

[...] These are not fine philosophies to be listened to and ignored, nor fancy words again to be enjoyed and then forgotten. [...]

[...] Without words or symbols you must learn to look through the props. [...]

[...] It has nothing to do with long words and sorrowful faces. [...]

(Jane reports that as she delivers Seth’s messages now, she does not hear the words within before speaking them aloud; rather now she talks along without knowing consciously what she will say from one word to the next. [...] The only time she will hear words within before speaking them aloud, is when Seth has paused during a delivery and is about to resume.

[...] In other words they do not belong as yet, or are not committed to the next plane of their advancement.

[...] In other words, the ego becomes a tool to disrupt rather than to create.

[...] When the ego becomes too concerned with daily matters, with worry in other words, then the works of the tool become clogged. [...]

[...] Jane spoke Seth’s last few words while Sharon was at the foot of the bed, then broke off as soon as she saw Sharon. [...]

[...] In other words, the sessions are a signal of a sort, activating certain portions of Ruburt’s being. [...]

[...] The basic insecurity, in other words.

[...] I suggested a two-week deadline; then Jane would ask for the return of Rich Bed if she’d had no word from Eleanor. [...]

Climb up my words then, rush up the vowels and the syllables and let them form for you a ladder of energy by which you can send. And let them form a foundation upon which you can climb to find your own reality and your own existence that is in itself independent, both of my words and even of the room in which now your bodies sit, for that independent inner self wanders through all existences that you have known, in your terms, has a wisdom and knowledge that you can use. [...]

[...] It involves direct instantaneous cognition of the essence of living ‘tissue.’ I use the word ‘tissue’ with caution and ask you not to think of it necessarily in terms of flesh.
