“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Interestingly enough, we’re already beginning to hear about such frictions developing, especially from members of ESP class as they work with the ideas in this book. [...]

[...] You must work with your own ideas. [...]

[...] In such an examination you will be aware of many excellent beliefs that work for you. [...]

Work on painting AM. [...]

[...] Unconsciously of course the experience does sift through, and like any other experience you use it in your work. [...]

(Humorously.) My telepathic abilities must not be operating well this evening, for I took it for granted that this is what you meant by your question; knowing what I did of your use of the psychic knowledge in your present works.

Ruburt is working out toward a complete symbolic understanding in a poem he began yesterday, and he will know the one to which I am referring.

[...] (Pause; smile.)He will be working on it through some stages of the Seth material, also. [...]

[...] And upon these, again, the logical framework of the work will rest.

[...] This work, just beginning, gave rise to the idea for a Seth Reader, etc.)

[...] This is not to imply that he does not, but it is a necessity for any personality who is working with psychic activity of this kind.

[...] (Smile, eyes closed.) What I have told you this evening should also help you understand the use that emotion can have in your work, and its value. [...]

[...] I still have work to do and you will still have work to do. [...]

[...] The problem must be worked out by her, and she must find the support within herself, you see. [...]

Now, Ruburt’s eyes work much better when I am in control of them. [...]

[...] I was finishing work on one of my own books, The God of Jane. [...]

My feelings “clicked;” the incident was significant; and it seemed to fit in too perfectly and meaningfully into the events just previous, as if saying “yes, you do operate magically” … and this is an example of how those perceptions work. [...]

[...] I’m not unconscious but conscious in a different way, at another level … This state of perception has nothing to do with classical pathological dissociation; and its products — Seth’s five books — display a highly-developed intellect at work and give evidence of a special kind of creativity. [...]

[...] I don’t regard my unsigned effort as being a finished work. [...]

[...] The pendulum work was important because of the togetherness it entailed, the joint determination it symbolizes, and Ruburt’s decision to uncover any or all fears rather than hiding them.

[...] You are to be mate, lover, friend, companion, working colleague, each to the other. [...]

[...] He needs the verbal expression of love and affection, not only in regard to his work, which he appreciates immensely, but in terms of his person. [...]

(Jane and Leonard worked out a price for the purchase of Leonard’s dining room set; we gave him an electric coffee pot also.)

[...] As of this writing she is working on the last page. [...]

[...] The slightest error in copying a symbol could change its meaning completely, hence your concern over details, and hence now your great trust in objective painting, and your occasional distrust of work that seems to come too easily.

You also understand the nature of “truth” (in quotes) better than you did, and are beginning to allow it its mobility and ever-changing grace in your paintings and in our work.

[...] This is a physical statement of the inner change, and the inner change must be reflected physically of course: the intention to work with, not against the body, and to help encourage its natural spontaneity and functions.

Ruburt should read more in his Maltz book, definitely, and concentrate on achieving relaxation, not only in periods set aside, but in his normal daily hours at work or whatever.

[...] Let him—again and again I say this— focus toward his work and classes, and pleasant daily activities, and away from symptoms.

[...] We should like to work it from both angles, however. [...]

Your possibilities will be clearly shown, in the various works you can produce. [...]

[...] This morning I worked on the final copy of our 1983 taxes, and will mail them to our accountant Monday morning. [...]

[...] Jane finished her cigarette and I worked on mail.

[...] I had no interruptions this morning while working on Dreams — it seemed strange. [...]

[...] I worked on mail, reading several great letters and answering a couple. [...]

(Jane said my parting words yesterday, that she shouldn’t worry, that the leg will work itself out fine, cheered her quite a bit. [...]

I am, of course, very pleased with your work on Dreams, and with the notes that you read yesterday. [...]

[...] You were in a panic, thinking of the importance of your hand to your work. [...]

[...] If you wanted to stay home and paint all day badly enough, then it would hamper your hand motions at work. [...]

[...] With most mediums the mechanics are so automatic that little can be learned about the inner psychological actions involved in such work. Seth maintained that our situation would work to our advantage in this respect.

I didn’t know if it would work or not, but I reset the alarm for thirty minutes later, then I lay back down and told myself I would return to the same place. [...]

[...] They started me on my own work in out-of-body experiments, in which I’m still trying to find answers to the many questions posed by such phenomena. [...]

[...] Like most people with no background in psychic work, I expected things to be pure and simple. [...]

[...] Some of my recent work has been in the abstract vein, also, and incorporates squares, angles, etc., some of them in brilliant primary colors. [...] Association thus could be at work. [...]

At various times when working he went without a bra because his shoulders bothered him, and he wore one of his mother’s sweaters. [...]

[...] Jane feels this refers to a young man, Tom, who works at the Art Shop where I bought the canvas which furnished the object. [...]

(Jane thinks the paper reference here could refer to the object being sandwiched between the two pieces of cardboard, or Bristol, inside the double envelope; for when she opened the envelopes she at first thought the canvas was glued to one of the pieces of Bristol—probably because she had seen me working out the gluing problem in the studio in recent weeks. [...]

He does not allow it the freedom that he should or set it to work for him as completely as he could. [...]

The psychic work meant that these would be united. [...]

[...] In the beginning of the psychic work you were concerned at spontaneous sessions, and while you were highly intrigued by the developments. [...]

[...] You have been convinced that it would never work. [...]

[...] As the work progressed she found herself actually writing two poems together, for after each verse of Sumari she did its English counterpart. Usually she doesn’t attempt to translate a work in Sumari until some time later. [...]

(Last night, incidentally, Jane was again busily at work on Seth’s book in her sleep, dictating material that we haven’t actually gotten to yet.

[...] Saturday morning, then, as I was in Robinson’s lumber for parts for Jane’s chair, I met Curt Kent, who used to work with Cec and myself at Artistic; I haven’t seen Curt for perhaps two years, Cec since last Christmas. [...] When Jane called, Ellspeth told her she’d been working at fixing up or restoring an old chair—as I was working with an old chair for Jane. [...]

[...] Negative, distrustful, fearful, or degrading attitudes toward anyone work against the self and against the individuals involved. [...]

[...] It is important that you all realize the ways in which your attitudes and feelings affect others through telepathic workings, and the ways in which the smallest thought affects your own emotions, and the physical condition of your image.

[...] You can observe these laws in operation where you work and also, privately, when you are alone. [...]

Since you work together far more than most, it is rather natural for you to work out your problems together also. [...]
