“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I would like to ask you for copies of whatever letters you may have received from the healers, as well as your own correspondence. [...]

[...] Things are going well, so we would like to keep going just as we are, with your help. [...]

[...] I would push your heads collectively and individually underneath—for you still do not understand that you create your physical reality! [...] If you could, you would have done it centuries ago. [...]

[...] In your father’s anger he had wished that your mother was dead, or that she would leave and take her brood with her. [...]

[...] It would be a very poor move.

It would also break your mother’s heart; for she does not understand this son at all. [...]

[...] As a rule anything that you know is categorized by you as either memory or present experience, since usually you do not realize you have practical knowledge of what would seem to be the future. [...]

Ready answers for he or his son would only betray them. They would use them as excuses. [...]

[...] Without the damage he would not have accepted the obvious truths. [...]

The despondencies that he encounters also should show him that these feelings emerge into his conscious awareness now, to be dealt with, where in the past they festered beneath consciousness, and he would not admit them as a problem for he was not that aware of their existence.

[...] The information I am giving you this evening will be far more helpful to many individuals than any information I could give you this evening concerning your student or his family; for the boy at this point would not put my advice into practice. [...]

[...] He does have a very strong private nature, along with an ability to communicate to others—and as my material stated this morning, a greater understanding of his impulses would lead to a natural balance. He might not want to see anyone for months, in which case his impulses would be to refuse any interviews or whatever. [...]

(We sat for the session to see if it would develop after all.)

Neither of you should feel embarrassed—or, rather, ashamed—of his physical condition either, nor consider it more reprehensible because of our work, than you would consider it otherwise. [...]

[...] Briefly: Ruburt has always felt the strength of his abilities, even before he recognized consciously the areas into which they would lead him. [...]

[...] Ruburt realized that as you changed, so would he. [...]

[...] If I were, additional protein and chemical properties would be needed from Ruburt. [...]

[...] But he has been afraid of releasing it suddenly, for fear it would engulf him. [...]

[...] It would take me many hours to explain this. [...]

[...] Many years ago his experience with different editors, in his short-story publishing days, led him to see that a story that hit one editor might not hit another, that his work would be much more easily accepted by some editors than others, and that some, it seemed, regardless of long enthusiastic letters, would not buy a thing. [...]

[...] You would both do well to reread and discuss the information simply so that it is out in the open again. [...]

[...] All of this goes back to ideas that existence must be justified, and Ruburt’s early ideas that writing would justify his life—but writing should express life, and is an expression of being, an expression of spontaneity, an expression of emotion, of body as well as mind (all intently). [...]

(I went over to the Infirmary’s office with them after the meeting to get a bunch of papers Kim wanted to give me, because doing it this way would save me an extra trip sometime later. [...] I wanted her to get that message, and told her Pete H. would be calling. [...]

[...] But if that didn’t work out, Jane would have to wait her turn in a double room—and there was no telling how long that could take, she said. [...]

[...] She also explained something to me about indigence—how, after a certain period of time Jane and I would be considered separate people so that she could qualify Medicaid payments, I believe—and that, even if they got after me to make up those payments, I could refuse to do so. [...]

(“Honestly,” Jane said the morning after last Wednesday’s session, “I think I was doing book work in my sleep the whole night — only I kept hearing my own voice instead of Seth’s. I even thought of getting up and trying to write down the material, except that I didn’t think it would really work that way. [...]

(I reminded her of a couple of subjects I hoped Seth would discuss, as he’d promised to do some time ago: 1. The great flood of June, 1972, in this area, and our roles in it; see the notes for the 613th session in Chapter One. [...]

(During class, Seth commented that this latest Sumari development would help her decipher the very ancient — and largely oral — Speaker “manuscripts” that she mentions in her Introduction. [...]

[...] There are two in particular that I would like to mention here.

We certainly would not want all of our sessions to be witnessed by any means, so you have no fear in that direction. [...]

(In the 185th session Seth dealt to some extent with what he called Jane’s healing ability; one point he made was that the desire to help others would aid the development of this ability. [...]

If this seems to involve you in a problem with morality, then let me add here that such information, on its own, unless handled with utmost care, would immediately involve the negative suggestion that could lead easily to the very condition that we hope she avoids.

(Since Jane had developed the photograph idea so consistently in the test, we thought something must have happened to put her on that track, and we said aloud that we hoped Seth would deal with the reasons for this before ending the session.

[...] Before, you would accept that threat as realistic. [...]

[...] With so much right, something must go wrong, or things would not go right,” meaning realistic. [...]

Ruburt sees, and so do you, that other publishers would be glad to take our work—and you no longer feel “trapped” by Prentice, and “Prentice’s incompetence” in certain areas. [...]

[...] In the old line of thinking such a remark would be considered unfeeling. [...]

But at different time as it did so it would kink up in one corner and then another, and that that would cause a temporary impairment, such as happened in this one finger. [...]

[...] Two of the blood cultures would take at least 48 hours, we were told, so I envisioned Jane being in the hospital for at least a few days. [...]

[...] In other words, one would be better off not smoking. [...]

[...] I suggested to Jane that she cut her cigarette consumption in half, but she refused, even if this would be a form of natural therapy.

[...] Not in such a manner that illness would result therein, or, say, diseased organs, but only so far as function was concerned.

[...] In any of these areas however concentration upon the lacks would reinforce these. [...]

[...] The energy used in worrying about the condition has taken up the small leeway that would have given him weight. [...]

[...] Acting as if he were perfectly healthy, such imagined humiliation would not be automatically projected. [...]

[...] Without the inward flows and directions, it goes without saying that action would indeed involve itself in chaotic disorders, without constructive patterns or materializations. It would instead entangle itself within the power of its own energy, and be unable to form any long-lasting patterns or frameworks within which fulfillments and fairly permanent constructions could be formed.

[...] An analogy would be cupped hands clapping against my ears. [...]

[...] Jane thought, idly, that some foods would not be practical for Bill to eat. [...]

[...] Any impediments here can be most threatening to the integrity of the personality itself, for one aspect of the personality would benefit at the expense of other aspects.

[...] We hoped Seth would deal with any object Dr. Instream had focused on Monday night, as well as the object for last Wednesday April 13.

(Jane was still not feeling tiptop, but thought she would rather have the session than miss it. [...]

[...] Since Seth had announced a short session I hadn’t anticipated the chance to ask many questions—or even that an experiment would be held. [...]

[...] We would have liked Seth’s help on a few, but did not ask him to resume. [...]

[...] Moreover, why would our species want to depend upon as fragile a conception as epiphenomenalism through which to comprehend our reality? [...] Such an updated animistic/vitalistic view would take into account discoveries ranging from subnuclear events to the largest imaginable astronomical processes in our observable universe. [...]

[...] The project is turning out to be much longer than Sue had thought it would be, and she still has a few chapters to go. [...]

[...] The story sprang out of the hilarious way she’s taken to addressing Mitzi in regard to that cat’s gifts from heaven; I’ve been telling her that the affair would make a great children’s book.³ In the several pages she wrote this evening Jane presented her material quite humorously, in a manner reminiscent of, yet different from, her second Seven novel, The Further Education of Oversoul Seven, and her Emir.⁴

[...] It would be nice if you took it for granted that all of those issues were also being creatively worked out to your advantage. [...]

[...] It would apply to each of you. It would apply to you alone whenever Ruburt works at night instead. [...]

[...] Unfortunately, however, the beliefs connected with that goal usually involve whole webworks of beliefs that would automatically prevent high creativity. [...]

[...] At the same time you say how good it would be to just take a job and come home when it was finished—a self-deception. [...]

[...] Your own feelings about publishers, for example, impedes the creative processes so that you must then labor over notes that would otherwise come clearly and quickly.

[...] It is a portion that can understand the aspirations that you (Lydia) were unable to fulfill and if you have fulfilled them, you would not be looking into the subjects that you are looking into now. You would not feel the need to look for answers. [...]

Now I ask you, what would Bega be doing on the wall? [...]

Now, I will let my friend—(laugh from Ned)—you, as Ruburt would say, you are looking for it! [...]

[...] It is stupidity in class to worry that suggestion would cause a given result—for suggestion causes whatever you see. [...]

Jane’s book would be called The World View of Jane Roberts, of course. [...] The results would be even more intimate than those in James and Cézanne. A work like that would furnish invaluable clues concerning her redemption, on many levels, and mine as well.

[...] Perhaps if Jane and I could do that, a great metamorphosis would take place: The closer we moved through probabilities toward All That Is, the more the tensions associated with the subject in question would transform themselves into profoundly joyous answers and challenges.

[...] Jane’s determination would see to her own protection in any case. [...] I deeply believe that her psyche would insist that she doesn’t need any sort of basic protection by me (or anyone else) to begin with—only understanding. [...]

When in the earlier days of our marriage I used to tell her that she had her “symptoms” regardless of what I thought or wanted, she would deny it. [...]

Greek name—Ostinatious—I am getting also 12 BC—this would be his name, not the other twin, that is because he had this telepathic communication with his twin, he has this sense of wanting unity within himself very strongly, at the same time a sense of being divided. [...] His intellectual freedom, he feels, exists only so long as it is cushioned by the feeling of security of the organization—and if he cut loose he would be too panic-stricken to be an independent thinker, leading to a dilemma which you reached just after 30 in this life.
