“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] My vision would change minute by minute; I walked some faster but felt so light on my feet that I called Rob... [...]

[...] This would mean both have lengthened some; and that’s the side, the right one, I had the eye stuff and funny balance feelings on. [...]

[...] And without a few distortions you would not have received this material to begin with. [...]

[...] If we were using the very deep trance state then indeed this would not be necessary, but for your own benefits I prefer as much cooperation on your parts as possible, and like to work with an assimilation of knowledge by the whole self.

[...] She resumed in the same manner; indeed her delivery became even slower and more careful and deliberate, so that at times she would pace from one end of our living room, where we hold the sessions, to the other end before voicing the next word. [...]

I will not get into Ruburt’s immediate past life, since he would slam the door in my face right now. [...]

[...] The peasants of course worked closely with the land and seasons, with earth’s natural timing, and even though such work seemed to make time go faster, in the overall the sense of present time included a rich dimension from both present and past, so that in your terms it would seem longer by contrast —richer—when people went to bed earlier, lacking the night’s electricity. [...]

Now that particular feeling is relatively new in history as you understand it, for almost all cultures in the past have had their built-in extensions of identity that included a dimension of actuality of one kind or another, from which each individual emerged, and to which you would return. [...]

Hellfire, for example, hardly presents any desirable extension, but there was before hell always the hope that the sinner would repent, and even if hell became the feared future existence, it still preserved the nature of the human consciousness involved. [...]

He [Ruburt] was afraid that if he went too far he would discover that he had catapulted himself into a realm where both answers and questions were meaningless, and in which no sense was to be found. To do that is one thing, but to take others with you would be, he felt, unforgivable—and in the framework of those fears, as his work became better known he became even more cautious. [...]

The dream representing his grandfather symbolically allowed him to go back to the past in this life, to a time of severe shock—his grandfather’s death—which occurred when he was beginning to substitute scientific belief for religious belief, wondering if his grandfather’s consciousness then fell back into a mindless state of being, into chaos, as science would certainly seem to suggest. [...]

[...] Our friend Ruburt feels triumph in this life to have lived as many years as he has, and to find himself strong and hearty—for he feared that adulthood would destroy him. [...]

However, I knew that if you knew I had spoken earlier you would feel rejection, and I do not want you to feel rejection—except when I want you to feel rejection! [...]

[...] I would like to say that I am a junior entity—a young sprite. [...]

[...] Otherwise it would be as if you did not know where your own house began or ended, and so tried to heat the entire neighborhood. [...]

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

[...] I would have preferred that you did not ask me this question, but since you did, and since you both loved the dog, it deserves an answer.”

(I thought this would be an interesting experiment to try because we could turn it on and off at will. This would also give us a great chance to check it out over a longer period of time. [...]

[...] The session had lasted longer than I thought it would. [...]

[...] I told Jane I hoped Seth would discuss a dream she’d had last night. [...]

[...] Then she told me Seth was “around” and that the session would begin in a moment. [...]

[...] There are pyramid gestalts of being impossible to describe, whose awareness includes knowledge and experience of what would seem to be to you a vast number of other realities. [...]

[...] Some people have a great capacity for love, devotion, and loyalty, which would naturally seek expression in many diverse ways — through strong enduring friendships, devotion to causes in which they believe, through vocations in which they help others. [...]

[...] Such “memory” would necessarily acquaint you with experiences most difficult to correlate with your current sexual roles. [...]

[...] This resulted of course in an overemphasis upon dogma — rules and the ritualization that had to be colorful and rich because it would be the one outlet allowed in which creativity could be handled. [...]

[...] I’ve learned some more about the whole situation through the pendulum, and asked Jane if Seth could comment in what I expected would be tonight’s regular session.

[...] Were she to follow it, practically all we eat would be forbidden. [...]

(4:54 P.M. I thought it rather humorous, now, when Jane denied having the session early so that we would be free to watch the last episode of The Word if we wanted to. [...]

[...] You would not be alive, in your terms, if first you did not imagine yourself as you are. [...]

(Pause.) You are involved with some of your counterparts more or less directly, while others live in different lands, and are sometimes separated also in terms of age differences or culture — qualities with which you would find it difficult to relate.⁵ Intuitively, you know who the counterparts are in your daily experience. [...]

[...] I thought many readers would come up with that question at the same time I did.)

[...] She couldn’t say whether Seth would indicate any more counterparts after break.

[...] All of these events followed the barrage of letters I’ve been sending out, trying to unearth something, some treatment, some magical potion or truth or belief that would help my wife in her time of deep need. [...]

[...] It would be her first session on her side, her second in the hospital. [...]

[...] When she returned Judy told us that Dr. G had written an order for a different ointment than Silvadene to be used on the knee ulcer; the new ointment would help debride the wound and promote faster healing. [...]

[...] Above all I wanted her to retrain her conscious mind so that such fears would be banished. [...]

[...] The inner self knows what is behind the physical stars and planets that the eye views, but the ego would be swept aside in panic at such realization.

[...] The subjective reality of one man, left alone in the universe, would emit enough energy to seed another. [...]

Now, he would like me to say something concerning some other matters, and so I shall.

[...] Perhaps it was a plane, so that you would not be frightened. [...]

[...] Jane said she has picked up from staff people at various times that they thought her skin was fragile and would break down easily—”that a good wind would blow me away, things like that....” [...]

[...] Tonight I asked Jane if Seth would discuss the Instream object that ordinarily would have been named Monday.

[...] This made me very angry, for as I felt my friend buzzing inside my hands, I wondered how I would know him from any other insect once I released him in order to help him.

[...] I explained it to Jane at break and hoped Seth would comment as to any clairvoyant elements in the dream.

[...] [It would be interesting to get material from you-know-who on this whole question of others claiming to speak for Seth.] No shouting or anger was involved in the call. I’d been concerned lest Jane become involved in an unpleasant situation that would have repercussions via symptoms —the idea of publicity, of public display, which she doesn’t want—just when we were trying to learn more about the subject as she reacted to it. [...]

[...] She said she didn’t want more private material that would make her “feel more stupid.” [...]

(I was very facile—so much so that a large part of my early work consisted of finishing off the work of others so that it would reproduce well. [...] A comparable income now would amount to several hundred dollars a week.)

An early acceptance would have tempted you to rely upon the facility before the inner spontaneity even began to grow to maturity. [...]
