“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Some of you are quite familiar with what we will class, or Ruburt will call, Alpha V or VI, but the time has come for you to start at the beginning and work your way through. [...]

([Eva:] “I know that, I’ve been working on it.”)

([Alison.:] “This occurs a lot when Joel is at work, and I’m with him.”)

(To Alison.) Now you can work some of that out through your pendulum. [...]

[...] She asked someone to check the name because she wasn’t sure they were Rob’s work. [...]

Today before I began work, for instance, I scribbled down ten quick phrases under the heading “Predictions: August 24, 1981.” [...]

[...] That morning before beginning work, I sat at my desk unaccountably thinking about the way Rob and I had met. [...]

[...] Ed had recognized my husband’s car and followed us, asking us to go to his house to meet his new work partner, Rob, when I was finished visiting with my mother.

[...] It is that it doesn’t work for us the way we want it to. [...] I even agree that such an argument may well be successfully solved in other probabilities, and that in larger terms that’s an entirely acceptable way for things to work within nature’s larger scheme of things. [...]

[...] Don’t have Seth tell me in the sessions that you’re working out problems and that we’ll soon see improvements, because it doesn’t happen. [...]

[...] I told her I thought we’d had plenty of clues as to her true resistance to them ever since the inception of Mass Events and the numerous delays involving that work. [...]

(Jane said that lately she’d “felt good” about getting back to work on Seth’s Dreams and her own Magical Approach, although actually she hasn’t done much on either of those projects for a very long time now. [...]

Spontaneity will rise up during the hours given to work, and outside those hours, but he must continue those habits upon which his well-being depends. [...] I have been working on it, you see. [...]

[...] Now Ruburt, you may say, has done all the hard work leading to a recovery alone; but he has had help. [...]

[...] Proper attention to work and the exercises mentioned will keep the system in balance, and insure continued health.

[...] I’ve already noticed that and have worked away from it.”

[...] I want him to paint steadily at the easel, as mentioned, where he is standing, but with his attention directed elsewhere, and because of the particular refreshment painting gives him—the release from work and pressure.

[...] I mention this specifically since in the session itself I tell you that the concentration should be on work and activities, and not (underlined) on the condition you are trying to get rid of.

[...] (Pause at 9:30.)I want it emphasized though that I will work with Ruburt on this basis. [...]

[...] Ruburt therefore put himself in a position—as he knows, now—where he focused most of his spontaneity and attention on his work to insure its fulfillment, while cutting out all other distractions and possibilities of misuse or license.

[...] The belief that the self must be kept in reins—a trust in the spontaneous self directed toward work, but a distrust of the spontaneous self when it is not so directed.

[...] He trusts our work far more than he did, and this is to our advantage. [...]

[...] There are some people who believe that life is meaningless, that it has no purpose, and that its multitudinous parts fell together through the workings of chance alone. [...]

[...] The physical body cannot flourish if the individual believes that it and its works are without meaning. [...]

[...] Indeed, I’d had trouble sticking to my work on Dreams this morning, even as I began to rebound with more energy and relaxation at the same time.

[...] That is, I greatly enjoy setting to work to “make up” a character, then paint it. I have found that for me working from a model is rather boring and somehow limiting. My best drawings, particularly in ink and oil, have been produced in this fashion, and I used to think it rather strange that I liked to work this way. [...] The situation is about to be remedied however, since as my work continues to expand I now discover that I want to use models also, and have several paintings planned in which she will appear.

[...] She continues however to receive very complimentary letters concerning her work.

[...] However the inner self has also tasted new freedom, so there will be a brief jolting while the relationships and forces work themselves out to achieve a new, integrated balance.

It is a matter of Ruburt’s own forces, that must always work in balance. [...]

(Tonight Jane was asked to do some mailing work at the gallery where she used to work.)

[...] The method will work in either case. [...]

[...] The object is from the paycheck for this day’s work. [...]

[...] Piccadilly Square, London, England, might refer to the fact that a professor at Elmira College, with whom Jane would like to work as an assistant, teaches English Literature and specializes in Victorian English. [...]

[...] She described this to Jane in some detail, explaining that the JCC had been so busy recently that the staff had been working weekends also. Jane remembers that Gladys also worked the weekend following—November 12-13, and then took Monday, November 14, off because of fatigue.

[...] On November 8, Gladys wrote out the memo slip used as object, bearing the name of Mrs. Methinitus, another teacher with whom Jane would work. [...]

[...] Naturally Jane wondered how things would work out, etc., which bears on the next data also: “Someone wonders how something will come out.” [...]

[...] Jane said the memo page used as object is much like ones she saw when she worked for an art gallery a few years ago. [...]

[...] 1, while doing some other art work, I had a vision. [...]

[...] The maid was a relative of Throckmorton’s. In the beginning she worked for the family to save a decent dowry. [...]

[...] In this capacity she saved a dowry, working for a very short time for friends of these relatives, and adding these earnings to the goods given to her by her father. [...]

The reason that Dick has had the same father twice is simply that he died at such a young age, before the relationship could be worked out between the two. [...]

[...] And other issues are working with Ruburt, which is another reason for the briefer session.

(11:06 p.m. Seth was gone before I finished writing, after referring to some other work that Jane and I are doing on our own. [...]

[...] I told Jane I hoped the whole episode served as a warning as to what hospitals were really like, and the well-meaning but misguided people who worked in them. [...]

[...] For if people “knew better,” then places like the hospital would be empty, and all the people in them would be working at other kinds of jobs. [...]

[...] I thought that the way she was improving, she’d be able to work up to such a step. [...]

[...] Things work out in unexpected ways.

[...] It also siphons off, expresses and uses subconscious desires and moods and repressions, thus freeing the channels of the personal subconscious so that those deeper areas can find expression in psychic work.

[...] The subconscious is thus uncluttered because of the poetic expression, and this helps to make the psychic work possible.

[...] (Pause.) The psychic work offers the personality a perfect method for development and unification. [...]

[...] Even in psychic work, though generally speaking, of course, the connotations frighten the ego. [...]

[...] I’ve often wondered if at least some of my motivations for working this way have reincarnational or counterpart¹ inspirations. [...]

[...] Controlled Environments, and Positive and Negative Mass Behavior.’” I told her I thought Seth would not only have plenty of time to cover our respective questions, but would come through with some book work too, and this was the case.

(“Well, I think I felt that way last week, when I was working on my latest head. [...]

[...] I don’t personally know any other artist working with dreams this way.

[...] Your kind of creativity has always been together and jointly of a private nature—so much so that you do not even like to work in rooms too close to each other. [...] Ruburt has been fascinated at times by the idea of working nights, his ways of assuring such isolation. [...]

[...] There are two main areas and issues that wind in and out of this dream, as in the other two: the idea of work and service in relation to the idea of art and creativity. [...]

[...] When he tries to put on ordinary working clothes, however, something happens: the shorts keep changing into a Turkish towel, and harder he tries to pull the pants on the more and more they change, until there is no mistaking that the shorts simply will not do. [...]

[...] I explained to Jane that I’d reached the point in the last year where I just couldn’t let anything interfere with the act of painting itself—and that I thought she needed an attitude like that in regard to her own work very badly. [...]

The work with the table will continue and develop into other areas. [...] You will have no difficulty in finding tables to work with.

[...] The spontaneity was excellent, and Ruburt has learned to give his spontaneous self more freedom in our work.

[...] Your hand symptom will disappear entirely as your accomplishment grows in your mind, and later grows practically in your work.

(Two days ago, on Saturday, November 25, I took a few exploratory photos of my two friends, preparatory to beginning work on portraits of them.)

[...] The old woman had just died, yet her last day was filled with activity and work. She was a medium, and she passed from life to death with a smooth transition, continuing her work almost without interruption after death. [...]

[...] Jane’s friend Dee Masters, who had once been director at the gallery where Jane works, and who has been dealt with by Seth at various times, was doing something at an agitator-type washing machine. [...]

This capsule comprehension I call capsule comprehension, since innate comprehension of itself and its workings is part of what you may think of as the fiber or makeup of all energy, regardless of any given particular form that it might take, or regardless of the camouflage it might form of itself.

The comprehension of itself and its workings, being an attribute and everywhere a part of energy, cannot be therefore pointed at, and is in no way distinguishable from energy itself, being a part and not an addition. [...]

[...] You do have equal contemporaries, unknown to you, but you are working at a different level. [...] They do need people like you who are not so involved, who work in other areas, to help them.

Now, dear friend, you have also shared some of these ideas, and to some extent seen Ruburt’s physical condition as a symbolic statement of how the so-called authorities viewed our joint work. [...]

Some work will be done on Ruburt’s gums this evening. [...]

[...] Beliefs that once seemed to put you at a financial disadvantage now work for you.

They have improved because you are indeed learning to relax about yourself more, and the improvement occurs first of all in that area of your main interest —your work—but it represents what is an overall time of regeneration. [...]

(Pause.) Your dreams involving worries about sexuality actually represented, of course, worries about your worth as a contributing person, your sex and work being thus equated. [...]

[...] His work on his own book now is helping to put certain matters in perspective, and his eyesight is also improving in certain areas. [...]
