“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

3. Seth’s delivery is remarkably clear and unambiguous, but once in a while he’ll come through with an awkward sentence (as we all do), or one that combines the singular and the plural when one or the other should be used throughout, or he’ll repeat a certain word too often. On such occasions Jane and I may recast the sentence slightly while maintaining the syntax, or add a clarifying word or phrase in brackets [like this].

[...] I for one think that my own words are pretty inadequate tools of expression to convey the deeper, unspoken meanings within life that I sense but cannot really verbalize.

(I also think that Seth himself could have some pretty funny things to say here to Jane and me — some day I’ll ask him — words with which he’d humorously caution us not to take the whole affair too seriously, to leave room in our daily lives for the simple, uninhibited joy of creative expression and living even while we study his unending outpouring of material. [...]

[...] The word exuberant is a good one for him to use. [...]

It does what you want it to do, in other words, but it still contains abilities of which you have little knowledge, and sources of information that belong to the entire entity of which you are but a part. [...]

[...] If you do not find emotional satisfaction with each other you do not find it, in other words. [...]

[...] There is meaning not only in the written words themselves, but connections existing between them that do not appear, and that will have meanings to various levels of the personality.

You cannot examine reality without examining yourself, in other words. [...]

[...] It can deny feeling, in other words, and even attempt to argue itself out of its present independence from the body.

[...] Such experiences would acquaint you far better than words with some understanding of the conditions that will be encountered.

[...] They seem to contain an energy that comes alive in Seth’s words, so that they belong to the future as well as to the past. Those words were all originally spoken, spontaneously and emphatically, though slowly enough for Rob to take notes. [...]

[...] The answer in this case was not given in words, and at first he did not realize that his experience was as much of an answer as he could be given now.

[...] Some questions at times may be answered without words, though he will be able to interpret the answers. [...]

[...] In other words breathing and dreaming are not automatic, nor do they operate without your knowledge. [...]

[...] Though she did not talk much faster she emphasized the words more, used more gestures, and paced about even more rapidly. [...]

You must remember, and this is I’m afraid a sideline: but I must communicate this data to you by words which must necessarily be strung out in order, end to end, when now to me there is no such necessity, and I will go into this further. [...]

[...] In other words it is meant as another proof that they are indeed but one self, and that any divisions between them are artificial.

After she’d grappled with her reception of some long-sound material last night, Jane spoke a few words for Seth. [...]

[...] She could manage only a few words at a time from the Seth we were used to.

[...] Then these materializations of panic and pain play about the physical body, projected by the ego, and steal the powers of the subconscious mind from their natural constructive tasks.… In other words, the ego becomes a tool to disrupt rather than to create.

[...] After taking a few words through the board, she set it aside, stood up and began to speak for Seth as she paced about the room. [...]

[...] She still wonders where the material comes from, especially when she doesn’t know what she is saying from one word to the next. [...]

[...] In other words, it’s somewhat ironic that during the break in dictating Mass Events Seth-Jane actually produced the equivalent of another book, but one that we can’t do much about, at least at this time.¹

[...] Man cannot mistrust his own nature and at the same time trust the nature of God, for God is his word for the source of his being — and if his being is tainted, then so must be his God.

[...] The painted image can be taken in at a glance, at any stage of its development, but the cognition of the written word takes much more time, no matter how fast one reads or absorbs new material. [...]
