“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Running would be excellent.

[...] (Pause, one of many through here.) You would not (underlined) be a full time commercial artist, regardless of any old demands, though you felt still somewhat guilty at your refusal.

The tremor represented guilt here, but also a threat, for you thought: before I will do this full time for money, my hand would fail. [...]

[...] Now to an observer whose time concept was still further segmented, and slowed down in comparison to your own, then theoretically within his time system the four personalities would indeed appear to be four separate existences in fact. [...]

[...] It would seem to be of a dark color. [...]

[...] it would seem to be of a dark color. [...]

This should be obvious, or I would not be speaking with you; obviously therefore I also exist, speaking in your terms, as I am now and as I was. [...]

Upon the blackboard, in this homey analogy, would be written the soul’s earthly experiences. With the eraser the “evil hand” would try to rub out all of the good, and at the same time the “good hand” would be trying to erase all of the evil. [...]

[...] On the contrary, they are often highly therapeutic, and they present the personality with an alternative — an alternative to continued repression that would be literally unbearable.

[...] This would not necessarily mean that the dream itself had tragic overtones, simply that it was taken in the “poor light” of the psyche’s mood.

[...] It would also be interesting to see whether the same technique could help me tune in to my future in this life.

[...] Once again in the bathroom I was amazed that any belief could have such a powerful effect upon a person that they would tolerate such physical limitations day after day, year after year, rather than to come to terms with them in an effort to obtain at least some relief. I’d still like some material from Seth on why the personality would choose to go to such lengths in the name of self- protection.... [...]

(It goes without saying that we hoped Seth would go into the whole experience of early this morning, since it represented such a good improvement in her effort toward self-understanding. [...]

[...] There was only so much leeway granted, so much questioning allowed—for beyond a certain point of course the entire dogmatic structure would fall apart. [...]

The belief in guilt therefore would be a cementing structure that would hold together other similar core beliefs, and add to their strength. [...]

[...] (To Eleanor and Dick:) I would speak faster for you, but we need the notes for the book.

[...] So she and Dick were highly interested in what Seth would say.

(Our region is supposed to be outside the danger zone—yet we see conflicting newspaper reports about whether the prevailing wind currents would make us vulnerable to the aftereffects of a meltdown. [...] It would hardly be a coincidence, I added, that the mass events at Jonestown and Three Mile Island took place within less than six months of each other, and that they represented the two poles, or extremes, of mankind’s present main belief systems: religion and science.

(9:18.) People were put in a position of trying to use very important creative drives, believing that those drives were, in fact, unnatural, highly suspect, tied in with madness or insanity—or at the very least, that those abilities would lead to antisocial behavior. [...]

[...] They gave some protection even from inner spontaneity, so that the inner abilities would be regulated, and they protected him also from any derogatory behavior on the part of his fellow men in the world. [...]

[...] Earlier, he would not have been able to respond. [...]

(4:56 p.m. Jane said that as soon as she gave the last sentence from Seth she thought the title of the book would be The Way Toward Health. [...]

[...] I would like to compliment your fantastic memories. [...]

[...] Simply follow it as you would a wind, let it carry you wherever it will. [...]

[...] Jane and I wondered what role Billy’s illness might play in our affair with David—surely a way of thinking that would have been quite alien to us before the advent of the Seth material.

Jane knew, however, that provided she held the session Seth’s material would be dictation for Dreams. [...]

[...] “That was my fault, though—that was charged material, he would have said more. [...]

[...] It seems to be closed “at the other end,” which in those terms would represent your birth.

[...] Here I would like to emphasize that to one degree or another all species of plant and animal life “dream.” [...]

[...] Before the session, Jane told me now, she’d known “that Seth would talk about some of that stuff.” [...]

[...] For some insights in this area I would like to come through his own experience of direct feelings. The entire issue, however, involving both questions, I would like to save for our next session. [...]

[...] Therefore, to keep things orderly, one set would have to go. [...]

Affairs will turn out, Philip, as I have said that they would. [...]

[...] You resented her as you would have resented any woman. [...]

([Barbara:] “Would you advise against a meeting with Kenneth?”)

I will not advise you now in your particular circumstances, for to advise you would not be to help you. [...]

A scientist who would threaten the very survival of life on the planet in order to increase life’s conveniences (underlined) is, however, truly displaying ludicrous behavior (with irony).

[...] I will always be speaking about a balance between intuitional and reasoning abilities and, I hope, [be] leading you toward a wedding of those abilities, for together they can bring about what would certainly appear in your world to be one completely new faculty, combining the very best elements of each, but in such a fashion that both were immeasurably enhanced.

[...] Some people, who would rate quite high on any hypothetical emotional-achievement test, might very possibly under certain conditions be labeled as retarded, according to the dictates of your society. [...]

(10:28.) Now: (Long pause.) Mankind is a species (long pause) that specializes in the use of the imagination, and without the imagination language would be unnecessary. [...]

It follows, then, that precognition would be involved in evolutionary alterations, so that the various species would prepare themselves in the present to take on those changes that would be necessary in the future.

According to Seth any of us can tune in to such “extra” information, but we would receive it in accordance with our own desires and intents. [...]

You have believed that the natural contours of nature were somehow antagonistic to your own existence, so that left in the hands of nature alone you would lose your way. [...]

[...] I congratulated her; I told her that she had created another fine work which would help many people.

[...] And as I write these closing notes I remind myself once again, as I often do, of those promises we made each other when we married in 1954—“that neither one of us would interfere with the other’s creative approach to life, no matter what resulted from the actions we individually chose…. [...]

[...] I think Magical Approach would have been a fine book as she planned it—but that it ended up squelched by at least two major factors: She was too inhibited by the subject matter [her physical symptoms] out of which the magical approach material had grown, and she was bothered because she had chosen to emulate the plodding way in which I put together the Seth books. [...]

[...] Were it not for these, you would still be imprisoned within the corporal image. [...] As chemical reactions allow the body to utilize energy and form physical materializations, so the excess built up becomes, then, a propelling force, allowing action to flow in what you would call subjective directions.

The frog did not learn to tell time from his watch, though, and it’s difficult to see how this would have helped him if he had. [...]

[...] For any kind of scientific proof, of course, this would be a necessary preliminary.

On another occasion, I gave myself suggestions that during the night, I would project to Peg and Bill Gallagher’s house. [...]

[...] Jane had a “slight” feeling that someone would attend the session, yet she was not sure the feeling was legitimate. [...]

[...] Seth stated that he did not realize Jane would achieve this focusing of inner energy so early in her studies with psychological time, and furthermore said that it could have unpleasant effects if it was unwittingly directed toward someone else. [...]

He had removed it and let it sit off, then in a hurry later he noticed it and intended to put it in the cellar so it would not be lost. [...]

[...] I was hoping he would elaborate on the experience. [...]

[...] The problem — the challenge — would be to find the physical time to do the necessary editing and notes to put such a manuscript in shape for publication; this would be a job that could easily take a year. Jane and I considered combining that hypothetical book with Mass Events, but figured out that the resulting volume would almost surely be too long; longer even than Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality, which in our opinion is bulky enough.

[...] It would have to be that way, of course. [...]

[...] Not only does the idea [of prevention] continually promote the entire system of fear, but specific steps taken to prevent a disease in a body not already stricken, again, often set up reactions that bring about side effects that would occur if the disease had in fact been suffered.

[...] In the most basic of terms, however, inoculations do no good, either, though I am aware that medical history would seem to contradict me.

Now: You would be better off saying to yourself: “Everyone has their foibles. [...] That attitude would be better than disapproving of yourself because of the difficulty. [...]
