“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] She had the same feeling I’d noticed when reading sessions one hadn’t seen for several years: that it was all brand new, and surprising, as though someone else had produced the work. I told her at the end of the day that the Seth material is an excellent example of her own direct cognition; this obvious description had come to me after I worked with Seth’s material on direct cognition in Chapter 6 of Dreams. [...]

[...] The leg question will work out, and without a needed operation.

[...] In its workings, nature then appears to be impersonal, even though it so consists of individuals that it cannot be regarded otherwise.

[...] Albert Einstein, whose own work was rooted in strict causality, found a notion like the free will of an electron untenable, even though much earlier (in 1905) he had laid the foundation for quantum mechanics in his special theory of relativity.

[...] Her feelings for these works of science, then, are the same as those she has for the ether; see Note 1 for Session 822.

[...] For example, it is a statement of fact, my dear Joseph, that when you leave your work on “Unknown” you must then spend much time reacquainting yourself with the material, struggling to assimilate material, regaining continuity, and so forth. [...]

[...] You must stop reinforcing the negative suggestion, and instead when you leave your desk tell yourself that when you return you will pick up your work where you left off easily and naturally.

[...] Your intent to put these ideas to work builds an inner psychological support, and the more you act upon the beliefs the more that support grows.

[...] Again, the material is indeed dealing with a far more valid explanation for the working ways of reality than the old official beliefs — and again, we are not just (underlined) dealing with evocative, creative hypotheses.

If our ideas were already accepted in the world, there would be no need for our work. [...]

Their objections should simply show you why our work is so important. [...]

[...] On the one hand Jane, Seth, and I want to see our work presented to the world as originally conceived, as a way to offer ideas to think about. [...]

[...] But our creative work is everything, and so it, and whatever pertains to it, go to a place where all will be preserved and protected, yet made available for study by researchers and lay people alike as it is transmitted there.

[...] To make this possible, we’ll be transferring copies of many of our papers and tapes to the library while keeping the originals with us to work with during our lifetimes. [...]

To make the copies I plan to install equipment here in the house, so that I can work at the job whenever I have a minute. [...]

[...] We don’t know when our work will actually be ready for study: First we must get it to the library, and then the staff must see to its processing—which will be quite a project in itself. [...]

I suggest, if this will do me any good, that both of you take the work involved and find those sessions and finally put them to use. [...]

In the face of this he threw even greater determination into his work and his “success” (in quotes), to make up for what he felt as other deficiencies. [...]

[...] They should be worked through, and they are detailed, or this is detailed for you.

To compensate he realized that you gave all you could, that you were his partner in work, in seriousness and in important endeavors (underlined), but he wanted touches, and because of his nature reassurances.

[...] They moved in and everybody could have coexisted together but it just didn’t work that way. [...]

[...] Now that you are working it all out and letting it out now?”

[...] I remarked several times in class about I had this pain in my head, and I couldn’t work it out no matter what I did. [...]

[...] Someone has been helping you to get over some feelings in the (night) lifetime and they are much more worked through than you might realize at the intellectual level. [...]

If a practitioner who believed that Augustus was possessed then convinced Augustus of the “fact,” their joint charged beliefs might possibly work for a while. [...] The trouble is that working within that framework, the self-structure is further weakened, for the normally repressed characteristics of Augustus Two are forever denied. [...]

[...] If the analyst, over a period of time, should convince Augustus that his condition in the present resulted from some specific inhibited event in the past, and if the analyst was an intuitive and understanding man, then Augustus might change his beliefs enough so that some kind of “cure” was worked. [...]

While the most basic work must be done by the individual, help is always available from a variety of sources, both within and without. [...]

Operating more or less normally, they work as a whole. [...]

[...] Work with the ESP cards will be beneficial to both of you, since as you progress you will, through certain subconscious cues become aware of varying circumstances that will enable you to feel when you are coming through.

(Jane had done well today, working alone with the ESP cards. [...]

This is legitimate, but without the strange mixture of discipline and freedom already achieved in these sessions, such awareness would not be possible at all, and certainly this is something you will have to work at. [...]

[...] I read some of my Aspects after John commented so favorably on those theories last night, but I feel comfortable with my life—I suppose I mean with my work—in a way I haven’t. I feel my temples and brows changing constantly as tension releases; the eyes becoming better; and even my sinus. [...]

11:20 AM—The sudden feeling that something else very good about our work is happening... [...]

(“Honestly,” Jane said the morning after last Wednesday’s session, “I think I was doing book work in my sleep the whole night — only I kept hearing my own voice instead of Seth’s. I even thought of getting up and trying to write down the material, except that I didn’t think it would really work that way. [...]

[...] As long as the system works it will be accepted — but the trouble is that it is not working very well.

[...] The belief itself works while you are operating within that framework, of course. [...]

[...] Your belief will make them work for you, but if your insistence upon poor health persists, then the counter suggestion represented by the vitamins will not be effective for long.

[...] Whenever you are working, particularly with yourself, this is a good idea. [...] This is particularly helpful when you are face to face with the person for whom you are working for, you must not allow your own emotions to frighten them. [...]

Now it may seem quite strange to our Lady of Florence to find herself within her body and working at such intimate terms with the physical matter of which she is composed, and yet you do this constantly. [...] When you work in such a manner, you are still using physical symbols. [...]

[...] When you are emotionally concerned about the person for whom you are working, then imagine a distance between yourself and the situation that you see. [...]

[...] One portion of it faces physical reality, ordinary working consciousness, and usually it is here that you focus. [...]

[...] In the meantime, I’ve let myself go, not working hard in any direction, relaxing while working on the files, or in the yard, or shopping or painting or whatever. [...]

(The phone rang at 8:45 PM, as I worked on these notes. [...]

[...] Jane, understandably, had questions about recognition, now that Yale had expressed willingness to accept her work. [...]

[...] Contrast this with your joint attitudes toward “your other work,” with the hassles involved, the need to be absolutely sure of what you are doing, to have the plan there, and everything known in advance. [...]

When she was 33 she was more youthful appearing than women much younger who were forced to work in the fields. [...]

In this existence however the personality of its own free will chose to understand in a different context, and work out problems faced so poorly in the earlier life. [...]

[...] She is adding to his development, and working out very grievous flaws that existed in her own personality in the past.

[...] While such situations as Peggy’s illness are chosen by the entity, the individual is always left to work out its own solution. [...]

(Yesterday morning I took a call from Nancy Overton and Saul Cohen, who evidently will have the job of shepherding Jane’s work through Prentice-Hall, now that Tam has left. [...]

[...] She wants to check the next five chapters before sending them to Tam, who will send them to SC when he edits them, but she hasn’t done any work on them recently. [...]

(At about 4 PM I quit work, and began to prepare for my nap. [...]

[...] Also—because of the nature of her own psychic work, Jane must feel abandoned by the literary establishment—and even society in general—no matter if certain people do buy her books. [...]

[...] He saw quite correctly that there was a great give-and-take between the two frameworks — your regular working one, Framework 1, and this other more comprehensive reality. He did not thoroughly understand, however, the creative ramifications involved, for it did not occur to him at the time that the prime work of your world was actually done by you in that other wider aspect of your existence.

[...] Plato then saw Framework 2 as a splendid, absolute model in which all the works of man had their initial source. [...]

The inner ego does the actual work that brings about the events you have decided upon. [...]

[...] A body event involves the working of numerous muscles and joints and so forth. [...]

[...] I thought my life and work were planned, my course set. [...]

[...] Rob had severe back trouble, and hardly felt well enough to paint when he came home from work. [...]

[...] After supper I sat down at my old table in the living room, as I always did, to work on my poetry. [...]

[...] I was familiar with inspiration in my own work, but this was as different from ordinary inspiration as a bird is from a worm!

[...] The job went easier than it used to — and indeed, the doubled-up fingers on her right hand loosened up considerably as I worked on them. [...]

[...] I worked on mail as Jane had a piece of candy and a cigarette. [...]

[...] And I told her that her statement reminded me that the same thought had come to me a couple of times previously after I’d been pretty sure that Seth was giving book work.

[...] But if he seems afraid it is because he fears, in an exaggerated manner, that if given freedom he would want you, and you would consider this disruptive, of work and schedule.

He may then in the beginning want you particularly when you are working, to prove the point that he will not be rejected.

(I got no work done on Dreams this morning. It’s been over a week since I’ve worked on the book.)

(Jane thinks her work, her poetry, is good. [...]

[...] I said let it work itself out.
