“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I told you, Joseph, that I would discuss the magnetic alterations that caused me to call a quick ending to our last session. [...] Every living thing has what you would term an astral form or vehicle. [...]

I found New York a dizzy encounter indeed, and I wish that in the future you would seek more quiet environments. [...]

(Peg Gallagher at break had wondered if Seth would tell what might happen at the paper.

[...] I’d recently asked Jane if Seth would comment.

Your beliefs close you off from much otherwise quite-available knowledge concerning man’s psychology—knowledge that would serve to answer many questions usually asked about the reasons for suffering. [...]

[...] They imagine what it would be like to fall from a wall like Humpty-Dumpty, or to break their necks. [...]

[...] “We might have played dead now and then—you know, lain down and closed our eyes, but that would be all.” [...]

[...] He is beginning to release that desire, after being afraid of doing so for fear that his full attempts would not work. In your present circumstances, it was more or less inevitable, generally speaking, that when he began to release that desire, the fears that had earlier impeded its release would also come to the fore.

Following one’s own nature, therefore, would ideally lead to the greater fulfillment of the species and the world. [...]

He began to creatively consider what he would do, and then out of habit projected, at times, his present circumstances, so that they seemed to contradict his hopes. [...]

A dentist would shudder, and often surgical methods are used to correct such a condition, when, if left alone, and with changes in a person’s living situation, the condition would right itself. Often of course it would not, because of beliefs and conditioning. [...]

[...] Tell him that in that order of events he can walk so well at this point, now, that anyone would have to look twice to discover that he was not walking perfectly. [...]

Ideally, the adult male or female would rejoice in sexual expression and find an overall orientation, but would also bask in a greater psychological and psychic identity that experienced and expressed all of the great human capabilities of mind and heart, which splash over any artificial divisions.

[...] This rebellion was psychological — that is, he maintained an acceptable male orientation in terms of sexual activity, but he would not restrain his mind and soul with such nonsense. [...]

[...] You only see the outside of many processes because your objectified viewpoint does not allow you the identification that would show you more. [...]

(At 9 PM we sat waiting to see if a session would develop. [...]

[...] Some of these are of such immense intensity that they form systems (long pause, over one minute) that contain what you would call universes.

[...] I didn’t know if he would bother her under the new circumstances, so I got up to put him in another room. [...]

[...] Value fulfillment would not be achieved in some important directions if man ceased killing because he knew death did not exist. [...]

[...] The best I could do would be to hit certain high points, perhaps in isolated poems or essays, and they would lack the overall unity, continuity, and organization that Seth has here provided automatically.

To our way of thinking, we have kept over six hundred appointments with the universe — though Rob would never describe it that way himself. [...]

[...] Two weeks after it was finished, however, Seth dictated the outline for this present manuscript, in which he would be free to state his ideas in his own way, in book form.

[...] For example, I would like to give you some idea of the contents of my own book. [...]

[...] I simply wanted you to know that many very severe extremes exist, that would make your lives seem most favorable in contrast. [...]

[...] I would dearly love to see the leg begin to relax, to straighten out to at least a degree. [...]

[...] Ironic indeed, I thought as I drove home, if the broken leg would serve as the last, final impetus toward clearing our psyches of the last of the old, damaging beliefs, so that the new synthesis can finally take place: the body can heal itself …

(To open this session we tried something different, to see if we would still get results. [...]

[...] Would I lie to you?

(“Who would like to see that?”)

The man of letters is not understood either, and you feel that your brothers cannot understand what you do, since their minds seem relatively closed —relatively closed—to the books themselves, which would automatically offer an explanation. [...]

[...] These ideas to some extent even inhibit natural plans rising in your mind, notes of your own that would automatically lead to a book of your own—because you pursue yourself. [...]

(“The only thing I might have asked,” I said, after having had a few moments to think it over, “was why I would choose to pick on myself here.” [...]

Again—not to overemphasize this—at such times a part of you thinks —or you think partly—that if you were “a simple working man” life would be easier. [...]

Often I give him an internal image, or experience, of a whole concept, but unless it could be vocalized it would have no meaning except to him.

[...] And then he is tempted to interpret it literally, as he would an ordinary visual image.

Then when we are successful there is a divergence from his associations so that he says the correct word, even though the correct word, for him personally, would be the wrong word as far as his personal associations are concerned.

[...] Ruburt’s associations may go for example from C, D, E, and F, but precisely where he would say G, we must insert X or Y, and do it so smoothly that he is quite unaware.

[...] Both people would be speaking about the same locale. Their descriptions would vary because of their private beliefs, and would be colored by the individual focus from which each of them viewed that city.

[...] The sound was like a supervoice; maybe like Nature speaking, or something, not the way a person would speak.”)

[...] Certain techniques will help you pack your conscious mind for your journey as you would pack your camera. [...]

[...] Seth returned — and stayed longer, probably, than she’d anticipated he would. [...]

[...] Many issues would be involved — maybe even current national events. I guess I think Seth would know the best time for such a book to be done and publicly introduced.

[...] Each man does survive death, and each woman (with quiet amusement), but only such a literal-minded species would insist upon the physical death of a god-man as “proof of the pudding.”

[...] Indeed, then, the theory actually says that the ordered universe magically emerged — and evolutionists must certainly believe in a God of Chance somewhere, or in Coincidence with a capital C, for their theories would make no sense at all otherwise.

[...] The fundamentalists would rather believe in man’s inherent sinful nature, for at least their belief system provides for a framework in which he can be saved. [...]

[...] The suggestions concerning hypnosis, therefore, would be of great help in accelerating Ruburt’s progress, and thereby relieving both of your minds.

He needs you at times to remind him that he can trust the body’s ancient wisdom—otherwise he would be in as good physical condition as you are. [...]

[...] She told Rob that our work with Seth was a lifetime project, that we would publish his manuscripts, and help spread his ideas. She also informed Rob that I could contact the deceased for their living relatives if I wanted to, emphasizing that a good deal of trial and error would be involved as both of us learned to use our psychic abilities.

[...] For one thing, I distrusted the “prediction” that the Seth Material would be published.

[...] I would like to make it clear that animals do have energy to maintain their own health, but this is reinforced as a rule by the vitality of the human beings to whom they may be emotionally attached. [...]

If, for example, our tree bark grew fearful of stormy weather and began to harden itself against the elements, in a well-meaning but distorted protective spirit, then the tree would die. [...]

[...] To you it would appear that the life was a past one, finished. [...]

[...] Otherwise they would make no sense to you at all.

In many instances you travel outside of three-dimensional reality while dreaming, but your experiences must then be recalled in physical terms or you would have no memory of them. [...]

[...] There is not just one intersection of soul with the flesh, therefore, but at the least a constant series as you would think of it. [...]

[...] I would also remember had the session been interrupted by her. [...]

[...] At times I had wondered how Jane would react to an interruption while in her new and deeper state. [...]

[...] Jane had thought Seth would continue the interruption as our first break, but shortly she announced he wanted to continue. [...]

[...] I would suggest that you keep watch on your Miss Callahan from Thursday on of next week.

[...] In that regard the larger facts would not show themselves. There would be no way for you to perceive them from within (underlined) your system of reality. [...]

[...] But why would birds build a nest in such a place, assuming they could get to it to begin with? [...]

[...] You talk to it as you would comfort a child. [...]

My heartiest regards to you both, and if Ruburt will look and listen for me, he would know that he would find me.

[...] When you go dancing, it would help if he wore clothes that he has worn in the past when he danced well, you see. [...]

[...] Before I went to the john I helped her hold the session papers on the left edge with her left hand—something I’ve been hoping she would become able to do, since it would add to her independence in reading. [...] She could almost hold the papers up like anyone would, even though her arms and hands aren’t clear yet; but, she told me, they have changed enough so that she could now do this. [...]
