“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Softly:) Your existence is protected, your works are protected. [...] In any case, when you were first working with Frameworks 1 and 2, you saw many examples of Framework 2’s activities, as they impinged into your reality, and you were quite pleased. [...]

[...] Jane had been tempted to pass up the session and continue work on God of Jane, but I reminded her that I could use Seth’s information on the disclaimer in our reply to the legal department at Prentice-Hall. [...]

[...] Our work has achieved enough notice so that it is indeed considered to have some effects upon your society. [...]

[...] They are actually changed in character, so that they work for your benefit rather than against it. [...]

[...] Some excellent work has been done lately while in the dream state. For a while when he feels tired, or when he feels a definite resistance against work, he should do something that he enjoys doing. [...] He will be refreshing himself, and the same amount of good work will be produced in any case, possibly more.

He can and should have excellent health and flexibility, in order to carry out the work that he was meant to carry out. [...]

[...] Understanding this is necessary, but if possible in small ways show him that this is not true; for it can amount to an emotional conviction on his part, and an emotional assurance from you will work far faster than the use of words, though both are necessary.

He should work on the dream book each day, whenever possible, but not all day. [...]

[...] So now we’re spending much of our working time checking — and double-checking — the proofs against our carbon copy of the copyedited James manuscript. Our scrutiny will include spelling, punctuation, and all of the other indicia that people take for granted when they read the finished work. [...]

(Five weeks ago [in the notes leading off Session 821], I wrote that Jane could resume work on The Further Education of Oversoul Seven — or Seven Two — at any time. [...] But now that her editor, Tam Mossman, has scheduled a visit to us at the hill house in a couple of weeks [on April 10, to be exact], Jane feels that she wants to study what she’s done on Seven Two, go over it with Tam, and perhaps take up work on it again.)

In titling this chapter I used the word “mechanics,” because mechanisms suggest smooth technological workings. While the world is not a machine — its inner workings are such that no technology could ever copy them — this involves a natural mechanics in which the inner dimensions of consciousness everywhere emerge to form a materialized, cohesive, physical existence. [...]

[...] If Ruburt’s main goals in work, for example, had directly involved and mainly concerned immediate contact with others, through university work or whatever, his mobility would not have been tampered with.

[...] You both insist upon applying quite intellectual concepts to creative work, and ignoring Ruburt’s natural rhythms. He works in great bursts of activity, but instead of understanding this, and trusting the quiet periods and the creative self, he is up in arms. [...]

Now these are psychological manipulations, but manipulations that work. [...]

(“Why has he waited so long to resume work on Mass Reality?”)

[...] I worked on mail. Jane ate well; her catheter is working well, and irrigating the way it’s supposed to. [...]

[...] I worked with mail, and suggested to Jane that she have a session before the parade into 330 began, to check her vitals.)

[...] I fixed her lower teeth, used the Rescue Remedy Cream on her right hand, did a little mail and worked on my grocery list. [...]

I run ahead of the other girl, and around her, really hunting her down, yelling again dramatically and accusingly: “I ask myself, where are all my friends who were going to write no matter what, to work no matter what happened. Where are they all and now I work alone?" I almost chanted this, and more that I’ve forgotten. [...] I said to some of them, “Do you know how to work the pendulum?" As I said this I knew that they did before they answered, yes. [...]

[...] More and more your creative abilities are being challenged, stimulated through our work, and they will flow naturally from it.

[...] The value of the originals will be considerable, but this is also your own solution to work and its public notice. [...]

[...] Remind yourself however that even in this period of activity your creative mind is working on paintings, and you will have the time to physically produce them.

[...] The dream and Ruburt’s work with beliefs are bringing about these changes. [...] The new flexibility, however, is as yet not coordinated, and this area is being worked upon.

[...] Those hip areas are now beginning to release to accommodate; the hips and knees are learning to work together again in the changing beneficial situations.

Now your rhythms of work may not always agree. That is for you both to work out at a conscious level.

[...] He needs your enthusiasm, and you need to work on your beliefs concerning his condition. [...]

[...] These will be part of your work, and they will add depth to your work, not detract from it, as long as they are kept in their proper perspective. [...]

[...] Ed Gassner offered to do work with Jane and Seth; he is a biologist, Ph.D.

There will be developments and friendships that will emerge that will directly concern our work in general, and help spread the material. [...]

[...] Two men, (pause), each of whom will serve as a basis for a rather unique kind of portrait work. [...]

[...] I knew that all of these positive goals are worked out in Framework 2, regardless of their seeming complexity, and that they can then show themselves in Framework 1. I have the simple, profound faith that everything I desire in life can come to me from the miraculous workings of Framework 2. I do not need to be concerned with details of any kind, knowing that Framework 2 possesses the infinite creative capacity to handle and produce everything I can possibly ask of it. [...]

[...] He thought mainly of the health of your relationship together, and the health of his work. [...] Much of this appears in your pendulum work of late, but you both then project those ideas upon the world, so that you think of your readers as overly credulous, or of critics who are overly critical. [...]

(We’re still working with the pendulum six days a week. [...]

(At the same time, her responses are at times very uncomfortable as the body begins readjusting various portions of itself, like long-unused mechanisms that need prompting and lubrication to start working more smoothly. [...]

Now: you are working very well together, and your suggestion about the use of the chair (to get around the house) was the result of Framework 2 creativity. [...]

[...] “And you’ve had the whole hospital experience to use in the years ahead in your work,” I said. [...] You’ve learned a lot about another way of life, met a lot of people: you’ve got a much wider base now from which to work....” [...]

(Like the last deleted session, this one is Jane’s own dictation, not Seth’s. She’d mentioned doing some yesterday, but it hadn’t worked out. [...]

[...] I wonder if I could work with small ink sketches at all now. [...]

[...] I thought that was perfectly natural, but extending those feelings for the next 30 years would seem to be too much in nature’s scheme—as I’ve said before, it doesn’t seem to me that nature necessarily wants things to work that way, while making perfectly possible the fact that they can, if one chooses. [...]

[...] I for one have long reached the point where I expect little else from Prentice-Hall except shoddy work, and I think that by now Jane more or less agrees. [...]

[...] Ruburt is working with the nature of impulses, and old ideas about impulses, spontaneity and discipline rose to mind, for the family situation of your brother and his wife almost typifies the kind of situation that Ruburt was determined to avoid. [...]

[...] His place of work became his male domain. [...]

[...] He does not have that in his work any longer.

[...] She’d mentioned this morning that Seth might resume work on Dreams, and because of that feeling spent part of the day reviewing sessions for the book. [...]

[...] She’s spending her time with the sessions, working on her book of poetry, and painting. [...]

—master events, then, involve “work” or action whose main thrust exists outside of time, yet whose effects are felt within time.

(9:32.) That kind of activity, that kind of “work,” exists behind all of the structures and organizations and experiences with which you are familiar.

Now: you know generally how associations work in your own mind, seemingly bringing memories or images to you out of context—that is, not following the usual patterns of time or cause and effect.

[...] There are obviously many patterns—some prominent and some subordinate, but they all work, often invisibly, adding up to seeming coincidences.

[...] Last month we were informed through Tam and personal letter from Switzerland that a foreign translation of Seth Speaks may be in the works, but nothing concerning Spain that we know of. [...]

(It may simply be that Seth was referring to a foreign publisher in any European country, as one of the ingredients in this story of the workings of Framework 2. Card from Carlos attached to this session for reference if needed.)

[...] There will be changes to come in your own work, and you are now reaching toward them.

Now the degree to which you evolve spiritually depends upon your faith in our work. [...]

[...] And you two, you two form a gestalt, so that working together you have more knowledge, ability and information than you have separately.

This has nothing to do with me, except that working together in our sessions helps me come through more completely. [...]

[...] Right now it is socially fashionable to take up some kind of exercise, gym work, or strenuous sport, so it seems obvious that the general populace must have a great regard for the physical body. [...] They have been taught that medical science knows more about bodies than any private individual knows about their own bodies and their ways and workings.

[...] The producer wanted to know about doing a series on Jane’s work. [...]

All parts of Ruburt’s personality are indeed working with the material, and working toward reconciliations. [...]

The idea that our work might set up a new church, therefore, is a very touchy one. [...]

[...] You undo half of your good work when you do. [...]

(“We were wondering what the Sinful Self might think about work on those Speaker manuscripts. [...]

[...] It was a long letter, and the editor asked to see more of Jane’s work. [...] She has not met two other executives there who have taken some cognizance of her work, and we now speculate that the situation described by Seth on page 126 might apply to Playboy. [...]

I am most pleased with the chapter that Ruburt has written to open our book, [How To Develop Your ESP Power], and as you shall soon discover, events will work out as I predicted they would in the late summer.

[...] Ruburt has sufficiently worked already this week, and his energy should be directed elsewhere while he recuperates. [...]

His own work will go well this week, and his energies be refreshed through his usual activities, and also through painting if he finds time. [...]
