“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Those given beliefs represent the spiritual and mental fabric of ideas — the raw material, so to speak, with which you have to work. [...]

As soon as your friend began reading his book on health foods he received, or presented himself with, an excellent example of the way in which beliefs work. [...]

The unconscious is understood to be a garbage heap of undesirable impulses, long ago discarded by civilization, while again much religious theory projects the image of the hidden self that must be kept in bounds by good work, prayer, and penance.

[...] The person then feels lethargic and out of touch with work or family.

[...] I worked on Dreams for half an hour before going down to see our lawyer at 10:00 this morning. [...]

[...] He’s also ordered a birth certificate for me from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and is to check with social security about what benefits I may be able to get while still working.

(10:54.) Now Ruburt, because of his beliefs, “artificially” disciplined his muscles so that he would be forced to concentrate upon what it seemed you and he both thought was most important in life—your work.

If you keep Framework 2 in mind, much of these stages can be vastly minimized, and the work with hypnosis that I suggested gives you such a method of inserting data, here, that accelerates motion in Framework 2, and greatly cuts down the time and effort involved in Framework 1. Of course, (with wry amusement) if you each are convinced that the venture was important-enough in your lives, and would get the results, you would have clamored to begin such experiments.

[...] Perhaps he feels that it isn’t needed at this time, that it’s simply better to just let Jane’s natural healing abilities do their work, now that that “corner in probabilities” has been turned.... [...]

(10:39.) Now: when you work through such an episode as this weekend’s bout, then you gain an individual but also joint confidence in your ability to do so—a very important point, a very intimate and vital way of dealing with your joint reactions. [...]

[...] It is as if for a day you choose to work, say in the slums. It would be ridiculous for you to choose to work in the slums and then say to yourself, why did I choose to work in the slums? I would prefer to work on Fifth Avenue. [...]

And any work that is done, is done with Ruburt’s consent, and our friend got his back up quite well after working for two years with psychologists. [...]

[...] You need to put both of these reincamational dramas to work. [...]

Now, before I let my friends very sweetly and nicely rush to my defense, let me mention that Ruburt also when classes began, made an effort, as our friend over here remembers, to give spontaneous readings which worked very well. [...]

[...] We work in two directions. First we try to bring interior knowledge outward into some kind of physical materialization where you can deal with it in terms of sound or vision, and then we try to get you to go inward and dispense with sound and vision, so you are always working in two directions at once. [...]

Now all of you to some extent in your dream work keep records, and as such you are dealing with language as you know it, and you are interpreting your experience in terms of a mundane language that is as much a deception as it is a reflection of your feelings and experiences, for you cannot find words within your language to express your own feelings and experiences. [...]

[...] You should meet other Sumari in the dream state, and if you are on your toes you can discover some of the work that you do while you are sleeping and the Sumari that you meet. [...]

You understand of course that the theory of successive moments works on your plane, or has worked so far. But as mankind grows even more ambitious then the idea will cease to work for him, and it will be actually discarded on theoretical terms while it is still utilized in its limited fashion in practical mundane terms, as you still find the table useful in practical terms; although theoretically you realize that it is not a solid you still manufacture tables, and you will still use watches long after your scientists discover that the theory of successive passage of moments is antiquated and itself passé.

[...] I was working in the middle room of our apartment; my studio is thus on my left, the living room on my right. [...]

[...] The streets have been littered with debris from trees, and driving home this noon after taking Jane to work I felt several small limbs strike the roof of the car.

[...] I did not get the work done.

(Before starting work this afternoon I studied my favorite tree for a while, noticing that the force of the wind had begun to peel back large sections of bark from some of the middle limbs. [...]

(I began work, sitting with my back to the tree so that I did not see the actual fall. [...]

[...] Now in a creative individual, some of these could be expressed symbolically in a painting or other work of art, but the ego could not consider them as actual.

The excellent work of art recreates for the observer inner experience of his own also, of which he has perhaps never been aware. [...]

The spacious present is always present (smile)—my pun—in any work of art. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) I do not suggest that he has any work done at this time. [...]

[...] I suggest that Ruburt concentrate as much as possible on his work, even in his psycho-cybernetics exercises.

Ruburt has a good idea of that from his work with the pendulum.

Although I speak to you rather slowly this evening and regrettably without any words of profound weight, nevertheless I am with you more closely this evening than I have been in any other session, but I shall not give you the privilege of hearing my clear, birdlike tones until you have done more work. [...] It means the work involved in looking into yourselves. [...]

I told you that the affair would work out well (Rose) and you can, I believe, expect further developments during the next ten days in particular. [...]

(Jane does no “work” at all any more. [...]

[...] She hallucinated a tree and other objects as I worked on these notes. [...]

[...] Their own nature stresses the idea of disability, say, over constructive work. [...]

[...] I would also like to see you do some work while you are sleeping, however. I work while I am sleeping, why should you not? [...]

[...] However, you are also working toward an inner image of a self in a previous life but it is highly distorted. [...]

[...] The old body beliefs were adopted to serve the purposes of other beliefs about work that have now almost, but not entirely, completely dissolved. [...]

Now, let us continue: Ruburt has been working with what he calls the inward order of events. [...]

[...] The belief was the result of faulty perception and understanding, adopted because of those other beliefs about work that no longer apply.

We will be working to explain coordinates to you. [...]

[...] Opening the channel requires work on my part also.

[...] (Pause.) You are working with something else again, however. [...]

Conditioning and regularity is important as you know from your own work. I am pleased over your portrait prize, Joseph, because the prize should make you aware of the fact that good work is recognized, and that despite the personal and unfortunate shortcomings of individuals as a whole they still do recognize good work, and you should give them credit for this.

Ruburt in the past has been very sensitive as far as your work is concerned, and this year has seen some improvement. [...]

She worked on one of your farms in Denmark. [...]

[...] It is for this reason that the extended use of the back room, and even the work on the kitchen would be beneficial. [...]

13. But added a few weeks later: The idea, adopted so enthusiastically by so many class members, didn’t work out after all. [...] “It turned into too much work,” more than one student ruefully admitted. [...]

[...] In the beginning of this work I “warned” the reader that here in these sessions we would go beyond ideas of one god and one self.³ I stated that your ideas of personhood would be expanded. [...]

[...] The idea is working very well. [...]

7. Seth first discussed his blueprints for reality in Session 696 for Volume 1: “Each probability system has its own set of ‘blueprints,’ clearly defining its freedoms and boundaries, and setting forth the most favorable structures capable of fulfillment … As an individual you carry within you such a blueprint … The information is knit into the genes and chromosomes, but it exists apart … In the same fashion the species en masse holds within its vast inner mind such working plans or blueprints.”

[...] (Humorously:) I’ll have a hell of a time with my list of chronological lives (which I have yet to work on, by the way) if I start turning up a whole group of them in one historical period. [...]

[...] So you work out your problems and challenges in whatever way you choose, historically. [...]

3. Yes, I learned from several reference works containing photographs, drawings, and maps, Jerusalem before A.D. 50 had been walled in. [...]

[...] For one thing, I’m sure that my imagery — and drawings — of Jerusalem’s fortifications would turn out to be much too meager in scale; surely those “real” works would be far more overpowering in height and mass. [...]
