“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Children playing at cowboys and Indians, or cops and robbers, can on occasion become quite as frightened by the pursuit or the chase as they would be if they were actually caught up in such an adventure in ordinary life.

[...] The child’s body will often reflect those conditions and reflexes that would be elicited if the so-called “play” events were real.

[...] It is true that a fine, exuberant leap of belief would make even those adjustments unnecessary, and at times Ruburt almost approaches such points. [...]

[...] A fine Frenchman said that if you had to do a thing, think of it as easy, and it would become so. [...]

[...] “It would be nice to know,” I said when she expressed concern, and she replied that she was doing all she could. [...]

I repeat, Ruburt is in no danger, but I would also like some of the late sessions reviewed as reinforcement. [...]

[...] I had an extensive filling put in it a few weeks ago, and was now concerned lest it act up enough so that I would be forced to have it out. [...]

[...] This knowledge alone will release him from any fears that would make a minimal unpleasantness more noticeable.

I have heard each of you say, at one time or another, that you did not know if you would do it over again—if you knew that Ruburt would have developed his physical difficulties. [...]

[...] Even I would not push a cousin of Richelieu. [...]

(During break Sally remarked we would be reminded of the past.)

[...] The following excerpts from her paper show the unity that underlies her daily activities; for she thinks that her own dream experiences, “Unknown” Reality, and The Wonderworks — to use a set of recent examples — are so interrelated that practically speaking it would be futile to try to separate them.

[...] He could be scattered into several ‘spirit guides’; that’s how his reality would be interpreted, or come through …

[...] They can perform in a flash activities that would take much time at another level. [...]

[...] He would not have let himself spontaneously express his anger in so direct a fashion earlier.

This necessitates finding the causes for the symptoms, backtracking, really, to the point before the symptoms’ appearance, and facing problems now that would not be faced then. [...]

I use the mechanism as I find it, and do not tamper with it, for any tampering would be reflected either in advancements that he was not prepared for, or in alterations for which he was not ready.

[...] In those terms, if you remembered your dreams, and if you benefited consciously from that knowledge, even your physical survival would be better assured.

[...] If you had another, then it would seem as if you must be someone else. [...]

(Long pause.) Throughout the centuries various individuals have come close, yet had no vehicle of expression that would have enabled the members of the species to understand. [...]

(I ended up this evening wondering why nature would provide within its limitless possibilities that of such nasty ideas or creations—which, I told Jane, only meant that we had the power or ability to create such ungainly hassles. [...]

[...] The processes at this other level are so lightning fast, so inclusive, that they would not seem to carry any recognizable concepts, simply because the vast amount of information could not be followed or slowed for your attention.

The material just given has also been given for that reason—for trusted, his mental life would blossom overnight. [...]

Ruburt does not need to feel that he would naturally, left alone, go out into the world, into the arena, and convince the world of our ideas, or think that with his energy unimpeded that would be part of his natural mission. [...] Nor would he be necessarily more fulfilled in that role, and it is that imagined, frightening role against which he pushes, and then retreats.

[...] If there were no purpose in the creation of physical matter, it would not exist and you would not perceive it. That is, it would not exist even as an illusion.

[...] I was trying to see what answers along the way would do to help spur Seth on towards more data, when I noted that he was off the track.

Very briefly, I would suggest a specific dedication on Ruburt’s part, before our sessions, to our sessions. [...]

[...] She told me that the water would reach its highest level late that afternoon; incredibly, it would become almost ten feet deep in the yard and reach halfway up the first-floor windows of the house next to ours. We would be safe as long as we stayed where we were. Jane sounded awed, though, when she said that the Walnut Street Bridge would “go.” [...]

[...] I felt however that a great amount of time and effort would be needed, on a regular basis over a period of years, probably, for Jane to make full use of her abilities in such specialized endeavors.)

[...] I found two sources in Seth Speaks. In Chapter 7, see the 530th session for May 20, 1970, at 10:02: “There are realities that are ‘relatively more valid’ than your own … your physical table [for example] would appear as shadowy in contrast … You would have a sort of “supertable” in those terms. [...]

(“What would happen if you opened your eyes and really saw the world?” Jane mused. [...]

[...] This actually provided an excellent transitory working method, for what he thought of as intuitions would instantly come up with a new psychic construct in answer to what he thought of as intellectual scrutiny and skepticism. [...]

To admit his purpose, however, to bring it out into the open, would mean for Ruburt a private and public statement of affiliation such as he was not able to make earlier. [...]

([Bill Gallagher:] “It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.”)

[...] I told Jane something that I’d wanted to mention—that it would be great if she could get to turn in bed by herself. This would give her a lot more freedom as her body healed itself. [...]

[...] They would have color if you were able to perceive them physically.

They constantly emanate out from the rock and return to it in a motion so swift it would seem simultaneous. [...]

Such reasoning sounds quite outlandish, of course, to most individuals, but the person in question, say with a disease like arthritis, or some other motion-impairing ailment, might ask themselves the question: “What would I do if I were free of the condition?”

[...] Joe expressed concern about how long he would live with his cancer. [...]

[...] “So if you followed his stuff,” I said after supper, when I was getting ready to leave, “you wouldn’t have taken the antibiotics, and the body would have taken care of itself.” [...]

[...] In larger terms I even understand why one would choose to carry certain behavior to ultimate extremes. [...]
