“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] During the first week of that time off from sessions we worked steadily at checking the copyedited manuscript for Psyche. [...]

[...] An individual can possess wealth and health, can enjoy satisfying relationships, and even fulfilling work, and yet live a life devoid of the kind of drama of which I speak — for unless you feel that life itself has meaning, then each life must necessarily seem meaningless, and all love and beauty end only in decay.

[...] I went back to work. [...]

(At once Jane sat at our living room table, which is her work table, and put her right hand on the message side of the card. [...]

[...] As far as we could tell, the existence of telepathy and clairvoyance had been scientifically proven time and time again by Dr. J. B. Rhine at Duke University, and demonstrated by others such as Croisset, a psychic, working with Professor Wilem Tenhaeff at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands. The work of Harold Sherman and other psychics certainly added circumstantial evidence at the very least. [...]

After the session Rob told me he was quite certain that I didn’t consciously possess such knowledge—that my mind “didn’t work that way.” Rob had never tried this particular method of building up color tones in portrait work, and it is this technique he used in the painting idea that “came to him” a few days after this session. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s abilities are what I have to work with and through—besides, of course, my own. [...]

[...] Here again, left to my own devices, I couldn’t work my way to the specific data we wanted.

[...] None of us suspected that Seth would give Mark detailed information about the inner organization for which he worked, or help him understand personal problems, or delight in telling him what had gone on at sales conferences that Mark had already attended — or with a great rush of humor tell him the exact amount of a new raise he had just been given. [...]

[...] As I worked at the gallery or at my book or did my house chores, the last session kept coming to mind. [...]

Ruburt’s “Idea Construction” let me know that we could work together. [...]

[...] I always worked at my table in front of the windows. [...]

In the spontaneous working of your nervous system, what do we find? [...] And yet all of this rests upon the spontaneous workings of the inner self and the nervous system of which the intellect knows little. [...]

[...] To my left (Brad)—we still have some work to do—and I will see to it that my friend Ruburt helps us in this matter. [...]

[...] The main tension points however involved the ligaments of the neck, affecting the eyes, and while those ligaments stayed more or less rigid, the eyes got used to doing their work in a restricted area. [...]

[...] In so doing, you display a change of attitude, a willingness to be creative in your life as well as in your work.

He is not a creative writer, but a work-a-day one, whose creativity then seeks release. [...]

[...] Right now she’s working on the final draft of Chapter 5 of her own theoretical work on psychic matters, Adventures in Consciousness.

[...] Then on the morning of March 10 — the Sunday before last — we learned that we may have to rethink the idea of Seth-Jane producing more than one major work at a time; for on that day Jane received the outline for another book, along with the knowledge that she’d need Seth’s help in producing it. [...]

[...] It isn’t private, really, or book work either. [...]

[...] It would help, of course, if he reminded himself that his creative mind is at work whether or not he is aware of it, and regardless of what he is doing, and that such periods have the potential, at least, of accelerating creativity, if he allows his intellect to go into a kind of free drive at such times. [...]

[...] You build your daily experience partially by such working hypotheses.

(“Well” I said, somewhat defensively, “I’ve always enjoyed having the sessions at night, working after supper, and so forth.”)

[...] Although she seldom does this anymore because of the work load involved, such spontaneous expressions of her creativity help my wife as well as the others involved. [...]

[...] We’re getting up at 6:00 again, so that we can get in a good morning’s “work” before lunchtime.)

[...] They worked mentally while asleep, constructing in their individual minds and in their joint mental endeavors (long pause) all of the dazzling images that would later become a mental reservoir from which men could draw. [...]

[...] During that period the work of wedding nonphysical consciousness to matter was accomplished. [...]

[...] In your time scheme, for example, you could never move as quickly as you do if you had to consciously work all the muscles involved in motion—or in speech, or in any such bodily performance. You certainly could not communicate on such a physical level if you first had to be aware of all of speech’s mechanisms, working them consciously before a word was uttered. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The body consciousness is not “unconscious,” but for working purposes in your terms, [the body] possesses its own system of consciousness that to some extent, now (underlined), is separated from what you think of as your own normal consciousness. [...]

[...] “I really enjoy getting up early, because no matter what else happens I know we’ve got a good morning’s work in….”

At its poorest, communication between the viewer and the painting was lost, for a poor artist could not work that magic with lines or colors. [...]

[...] This can be compared in quite other terms to taking an object from one table and placing it in another room, and trying it out in various locations; but we will be working instead with feelings instead of vases, and psychological locations.

[...] These will be the beginnings of somewhat more profound methods of working through the inner senses.

It is as if, then, you had alphabets that worked for the other senses, for touch, and smell. [...]

Within a fairly decent amount of time, Ruburt and I will be able to work hand in hand, so that our own separate perceptions will build up together, to a more or less precise picture of the object involved. But upon many occasions his personal associations now are connected with the object; so he does not fight me, but we work together.

In years to come we may be able to work along these lines, but this will be in the future. [...]

[...] It will also be to your advantage to make a habit of taking a sketch pad with you to parties and so forth; since you are known as an artist, this will not be considered unusual or strange, and your own work will benefit. [...]

[...] Thus Jane’s personal associations are now often connected with the test object, and she is working with Seth and not against him.

[...] They are beginning to work as they never worked before because they realize they have potentials to fulfill, and they did not realize this earlier. [...]

([Derek:] “Earlier today I was working on some clay work I was doing for someone else. [...]

The affair works out not only to your advantage, but to hers. [...]

[...] We are speaking of an unburdening of the inner self as you now know it and a setting down of burdens so that you can get to work, for the burdens and the secrets represent boulders in your path, and you must either step around them or open up the skies of the soul so that they simply disintegrate in the sunshine. [...]

[...] Now she is doing some very excellent work, but she is causing herself agony that she need not bear. [...]

[...] Now Miss Grant could, instead, you see, be full of the joy that exists in all personalities and in all pasts, and she could be as much help to the individuals involved but working from an entirely different level. [...]

[...] To make ideals practical and to make them work, that is some job, and it is much better to face them and try to make them real and make some kind of pleasantness here than cry because you do not have heaven on earth. [...]

[...] There is, as you know, a breakthrough in your work. [...]

You have shown an important breakthrough in your work. [...]

[...] Your work contains the strength of your inner self in many ways. Your particular ego’s function is to show this work to the world as you know it. [...] But my dear Joseph, there is no true practicality in smothering your abilities by working in a position where you cannot use your abilities. [...]

Your work is improving and will improve constantly. [...]

[...] I always feel when I speak along these lines as if I must say over and over that I do not intend any shortening of your working hours, only that you have more energy than you realize and that associations, as certainly you must see with your landlord, are often practical. [...]

[...] However Jane would have worked in an art gallery—this experience was ahead of her, not foreordained but ahead of her in any case. [...]

[...] In deeper terms, however, in the dream state each person will be working out his or her own problems or challenges. Dreaming, a person can cure himself or herself of a disease, working through the problems that caused it. [...]

[...] You utilize ships, automobiles, trains, airplanes, because you want to go to another place, and certain vehicles work best under certain conditions.

[...] Unless you are working out ideas of limitations for your own reasons, you will find that you can indeed expand inner space. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Future probabilities are worked out there also so that individually and en masse the species decides upon its probable future. [...]

[...] This would not work out for either of you. [...]

[...] Your idea of trading your car for an old jeep would work out very well, and would not be costly. [...]

I would strongly suggest a garden, in which both of you work. [...]

[...] All rooms will be beneficial for sleeping, working; the large room, naturally, to be used for our sessions.

(She worked at straightening out her left leg. [...]

[...] “It must be you wanted to work on the head today,” I said. [...]

[...] working her lower jaw around. [...]

Now, again, after my cheery beginning, I offer you my fondest wishes, and I expect you to work hard for I do not give you pretty, easy phrases. [...]

[...] Now, you also often develop abilities in the dreaming and sleep state and perform work and creative activities of which you are not aware. [...]

[...] And if those intents are good, then they work for you. [...]
