“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] My own reaction, after doing a lot of work on them, was that it would be best to cut most of them out. [...]

A year ago this information would not necessarily be practical for you. [...] Some hints from me will help, but I would like to give you some idea, you see, of what to expect.

[...] The ego would immediately falter, and cause immediate failure and catastrophe. [...]

[...] At this time, of course, before Jane had seen the object, I had no idea that it would remind her strongly of a man, and hence possibly give rise to the photo data.

[...] The ordinary sense of communication given you through your creaturehood, if spontaneously and honestly followed, would solve many of your problems. [...]

[...] If, instead, you allowed yourself to free the feeling of love that is actually behind your dissatisfaction, then it alone would allow you to see the loving characteristics in the race that now escape your observation to a large degree.

[...] By Christ’s time, however, some principle of unity was necessary by which this diversification would also experience a sense of unity and feel its oneness.

He “consorted” with prostitutes (Luke 7:33–50) and the poor, and his disciples were hardly men that would be called the city fathers. [...]

We are rather slow with this material, since it is new, but mainly because I would like it translated into as precise terms as possible; and without a scientific background on Ruburt’s part, I must use ingenuity.

[...] Molecules would appear as large as planets to these units. [...]

[...] If that were the case you would have no world at all.

[...] So I would like to reinforce the fact that life is indeed a cooperative venture, and that all the steps taken toward the ideal must of themselves be life-promoting.

(“At a church where we stopped, we listened to choir practice, were surprised that so many young adults were in the choir, instead of small boys or children, commented on the turnabout from what you would expect.”)

(Joel mentioned he would like Seth’s interpretation of his foliage image.)

Almost all experiences from this level will be symbolically represented, for otherwise they would have no meaning to you. [...]

[...] Many of these involve systems in which life and death as you know it does not occur, where time is felt as weight; systems in which the root assumptions are so different from your own that you would only accept any experiences as fantasy.

[...] The electromagnetic makeup even of your thoughts would be adversely affected, and yet theoretically this is possible from one of these adjacent levels of consciousness.

If physical laws were the only basis for actuality, then telepathy would be impossible. But then, dreams would be equally impossible. [...]

If they are severed you would not have a sane unit, but a disjointed pattern not capable of maintaining balance.

He was earlier afraid, you see, that his symptoms otherwise had become so real to others that they would continue to perceive them. [...]

[...] He would feel out in the cold no longer for several reasons, mainly because the book so beautifully combined the continuity of his earlier life with his later activities.

[...] Otherwise you would not hear them at the door.

Often spontaneously we had class sessions, and as you noticed he would miss our next session. [...]

[...] Here they were after death, and at least on her plane it was nothing like they had said it would be while living on earth. [...]

[...] She didn’t know when, if ever, she would move onto another plane. [...]

[...] The CU’s¹ that are within all matter have a memory bank that would far surpass any computer’s. As cellular components, the atoms and molecules, therefore, carry memory of all the forms of which they have been part.

On many occasions then you set yourself a problem — “Shall I do this or that?” — and form a dream in which you follow through the probable futures that would “result” from the courses available. [...]

Now, I could not have done so earlier, for Ruburt would not have liked it; and before, you would not have particularly liked it. [...]

[...] In that case he would walk more evenly, the body resting in a still inferior but dependable stance. [...]

[...] The safest thing to say would be that each session, even, adds to our knowledge of what a constantly expanding whole self can be. [...]

[...] As Ruburt would say: “Peace and cheers.”

[...] The session Seth had referred to was that for last Saturday, August 11, when he’d first mentioned that Jane would be able again to sit on her back porch. [...]

If you treated your body as well as you treated your animals—your pets —there would be little difficulty, relatively speaking. [...]

[...] The body consciousness, watching the news, would think—if it thought as you do—“What activity, what commotion, what excitement (almost laughing), what a conglomeration of smells and sights, what a congregation of my fellows, running and chasing, rising and falling, even living and dying. [...]

(She thought the information would be part of this book. [...]

[...] You would not have a wife who had Ruburt’s particular kind of symptoms unless for your own reasons they served your ends as well—though of course to a lesser extent by far than they served Ruburt’s purposes.

If you thoroughly understood that you dwelled in a safe universe, you would need no such concepts. [...]

[...] And two: one of you had to make money with your art or you would not survive. [...]
