“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] She also thought that she personally couldn’t live up to the high quality of the Seth material — her own “mental work,” a good way of putting it. [...]

[...] She mentioned various periods of improvement — her work on her unfinished and unpublished autobiography, From This Rich Bed; her published novel, The Education of Oversoul Seven, and so on. [...]

[...] Jane was afraid getting pregnant would ruin my career because I’d have to work full time. [...]

[...] Jane has experienced this same phenomenon several times while reading this work, and it is dealt with in the 131st and 158th sessions.

[...] Seth prefaced this by saying something about “I see a breathing difficulty.” He went on to say that Ruburt was upset at this information, and that her relatively early death simply meant she had to work harder in this life. [...]

[...] By and large, he said, predictions will work out if no major drastic changes in personality and/or behavior occur.

[...] This is almost like working backward, for directly beneath the thoughts and impressions of waking consciousness, you will glimpse dream images like those that appear just as you fall to sleep.

[...] All of these exercises provide training that helps you in all your other work. [...]

[...] it is the part of Ruburt with which I normally work.

[...] Before we did not have it to work with. [...]

[...] This has been given to him, though it has taken work on his part.

[...] Then with his full cooperation we can really begin our work.

He thinks basically that it is, and he accepts the basic principles of the work—that is, the Seth material. [...]

Understanding this however will let Ruburt take some countering measures, as he did today by thinking of how cozy it was inside to work, and how comforting the rain sounded.

You have been working well together.

[...] When the session began I was at work in my studio at the back of the apartment; yet, through two closed doors, I heard almost at once when the session began. I was working on the index to these sessions at the time, and the place was quiet.

To me, there is great excitement in learning how the unconscious works, not just generally but specifically — in personal instances. In the same way that I acted out the original forseen event — the pamphlet — I’m convinced that other extrasensory data is picked up and woven into our daydreams, fantasies and creative works.

[...] Now I am much more interested in how precognition works, what triggers it and what translates into dream experience.

[...] But as you’ll see from a later Seth excerpt, association can be at work, relating such experience in an intuitive rather than logical manner.

[...] The study of dreams, particularly of precognitive ones, can show us these inner workings that condition us toward the experience of certain kinds of events.

(“I’d been working all day,” Jane wrote, “on my book of poetry, Dialogues of the Soul and Mortal Self in Time. Working like crazy, really on a creative ‘high.’ Just before supper time I’d been writing about the single yet double universe of self and soul, and the last line had quoted the mortal self:

[...] The associative processes of your mind, working through the brain, have great connection with the minute behavior of your cells. [...]

When massive doses of LSD are used, you are artificially creating a disaster area from which you hope to salvage an efficient working self. [...]

[...] (Intently:) There is nothing exterior against which it can work, and no framework in which it can get balance.

[...] The panicky feeling is already lessening and Ruburt’s discipline is catching up with and conquering his emotional attitudes so that the problem will be worked out, that is he will stop smoking.

[...] Ruburt’s present shape is something he has been working for. [...]

[...] It just worked out that way that a large majority of personalities finished their cycles more or less at one time.

The problems that a country must work out merely represent the problems set by the personality inhabitants for themselves, and the country is merely the framework of such activities. [...]

[...] The suggestion that also occurs within the dream state works even more effectively upon the whole personality than any suggestion works under ordinary circumstances. [...]

[...] I had no idea that Bill had any connection with the upstairs offices at all, since the editorial work is done there, and he has nothing to do with that at all. Peg, who works up there, has told me often that she never sees him upstairs.

Ruburt will find that his own work will now improve. [...]

[...] Bill told us that he would have to leave for a few minutes to pick up an advertisement at the bus terminal and take it to the newspaper office, the Star-Gazette, where he works. [...]

It goes without saying that your work will gain immeasurably through the extended experience of projections. [...] This energy results also in chemical excesses that can be utilized in projections without drawing away energy for your work.

[...] The reasoning parts of the brain can work most efficiently along with the intuitive portions of the self when the physical organism is in that position.

[...] These chemical excesses are used up for one thing in your own creative work. [...]

[...] Training can help you however, though this involves more work, and you will not reach that stage of realization for some time.

Generally speaking, however, in handling Ruburt’s condition over the years, until lately you have concentrated your working efforts in Framework 1, while in all other areas you at least had a good foothold in Framework 2.

Such methods will work now because of the changes in beliefs he has made—that is, he is more open. [...]

[...] In portions of our work and your own, you have sometimes operated in Framework 3. Ruburt’s initial Idea Construction experience momentarily propelled him into Framework 4, where indeed enough energy, creativity, and power was generated to change his life beneficially, and open his mind to higher levels of understanding and knowledge.

[...] Framework 2, however, is quite familiar to you, as stated, in your creative work, and most other areas of your lives, including your own physical experience of your body.

[...] They are constantly exercising themselves, but are not themselves working smoothly.

[...] As the ligaments and muscles in the legs activate, they are learning to work together under entirely different conditions.

When you were working with sales the other day, you felt that contact (as described). [...]

[...] So Ruburt’s condition may show no physical improvements of the kind you are looking for—may not—while suddenly the work that has been done unconsciously during that period can suddenly emerge, seemingly from nowhere, as a spectacular improvement. [...]

[...] The sense of accomplishment involved in physical work will do wonders for you. [...] Allow your creative feelings to emerge into realistic work. [...]

[...] You need physical work to do. [...]

[...] You need to do physical work outside of your home and you need this now, in a very desperate way. [...]

[...] The other evening served to trigger it, but working with the pendulum you can discover the basic reason, and I suggest that you do this. [...]

[...] What you are getting of him is a dim web work that is not substantial as yet. Give yourselves both time to build this web work before you decide to jump up and down upon it. [...]

[...] But another portion of the self says, “ah hah, these potentials are not used, they are freewheeling and I will adapt these and these will be those potentials with which I will work.” [...]

[...] Learn to work through them. [...]

[...] That you work this out, the two of you. [...]

[...] I would much rather that you work less, if necessary, using the recorder in the bedroom, than work more intensively leaving the recorder in another room.

[...] They did not know about Seth but were somewhat familiar with our work in ESP, and of course would learn of Seth’s existence when Jane’s ESP book is published. [...]

[...] However, very little work, if any, is being carried on along the lines I am about to suggest.

[...] You should however try both methods, and discover which works the best for you. [...]

[...] I plan to use his rather spacious walls as a hanging space for my work, rotating the exhibits periodically.

(Jane expressed a desire to see the work in place, so when I picked her up at the gallery we stopped off at the club to see it, where Jane made the impromptu remark that she wanted Seth to call off the session, so we could attend the opening of the club this evening.

[...] However, I’ll work those out. [...]

In regard to your dream: The shakiness represented values and ideas from your mother, primarily about work — beliefs you always felt were shaky. [...]

[...] You say, consciously: “I cannot get painting ideas now because I am working on thus and so in these hours,” and so inhibit paintings. [...] That freedom would quicken your other activities, so that “Larry’s work” would be his and yours more truly, and be speedily accomplished. [...]
