“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Try to be honest with yourselves as to those early experiences in which you forced yourselves to behave differently than you were, because adults told you that you must … You had better understand the beautiful, unique quality of your own individuality lest you project upon the other sex — whichever sex you are — those abilities and qualities that you are afraid are your own, or project upon them those abilities and qualities that you wish you possessed and fear you do not.

[...] It has to do with the real nature of aggression and passivity,¹ which you have allowed yourselves to forget … Birth is an aggressive experience. [...]

When you disapprove of yourselves, for example, again you rob yourselves of comforts meant to support you. [...]

[...] When you disapprove of yourselves, such factors escape you entirely, or become lost in other worries.

In lovemaking, when you forget yourselves to some extent, spontaneity is also aroused, and the healing processes brought into play through the touch of hand and caresses. [...]

Now we will see to it, if he does not tell you, that these steps are clearly given, but you will discover them for yourselves. [...] Now I will not give you a diploma, you will give yourselves your own diploma. [...]

You were learning what the feel of your own energy was, and each of you must learn it individually for yourselves. You direct it beyond this place and this time, and so it is about time that you learned to recognize it within yourselves and within the others within this room. [...]

[...] You will learn to examine it, but more than this you will learn to cherish it as you should cherish all the states of consciousness that you discover in yourselves and in others. [...]

[...] Now I do not want to tell you all the answers to the Sumari development, for some of the answers you are to find out for yourselves and some of the answers cannot happen unless you discover them for yourselves. [...]

[...] And all of you have only to relax and let yourselves realize what you know and follow the Sumari development when our friends here are not physically with you. [...]

[...] And a journey you have in one way yourselves all taken. [...]

[...] And so as all things that have come and gone already begun and in their beginning they change and alter, creativity once more arises and you play your part in it and you find yourselves embarked in a new world, in new sensations, in new encounters with self, even though the sense even now passes away and you know where the future is behind you and the past that is yet to come for the past is forever as new as the future and in all things are there beginnings without endings and even your ideas of endings rouse themselves and can never pass away. [...]

You have put yourselves in a position where your consciousness must now become aware of the probable pasts and probable futures, in order to form for yourselves a sane, fulfilling, and creative present.

[...] Your religions in a large measure have taught you to hate yourselves and physical existence. They have told you to love God, but rarely taught you to experience the gods in yourselves.

[...] Opening up your consciousness to previously denied messages would bring you in direct contact with other life-forms on your planet in a way that you have formerly denied yourselves. [...]

[...] Your emotional reality truly leaps into its own only now and then, for your very concepts of yourselves deny the multidimensional aspects of your being. [...]

Now while you dream, you do have contact with other portions of yourselves. [...]

If you think of yourselves honestly and deeply when you are alone, then you must realize that what you are you can not see in a mirror, and the self that you see in a mirror is but a dim reflection of your true reality. [...]

You must work that out for yourselves. That is an important part of the class framework, and if you are ready to work it out for yourselves you do so. [...]

[...] So you must lead yourselves free of that. [...]

You are in a trance state now, and you have all hypnotized yourselves into believing that this is the only reality and your constant suggestions continue the emotion, and that is the basis of your physical reality. [...]

[...] You break out of yourselves. When you are joyful you break out of yourselves. [...]

[...] Now, none of you clearly left your bodies, with one exception; but mentally you detached yourselves to various degrees. [...]

[...] You do not know the symbols for yourselves but you can discover what they are, and I will expect you all to do so. [...]

[...] It was much easier to believe that you had been kicked out of a garden of paradise than to realize that you ruined it yourselves. [...]

You divorce yourselves from nature and nature’s intents far more than the animals do. [...] You must either look for reasons outside of yourselves to explain what seems to be nature’s ill intent at such times, or its utter lack of concern.

[...] Because you divorce yourselves from nature, you are not able to understand its manifestations. [...]

Science often says that nature cares little for the individual, only for the species, so then you must often see yourselves as victims in a larger struggle for survival, in which your own intents do not carry even the puniest sway.

[...] Otherwise you find yourselves never fully pleased with what you are doing while you are doing it, and caught up in circles of resentment. You deny yourselves, say, guests when you feel like having them, because you have already done chores that did not particularly need to be done, because you thought you should, when you felt like working.

Do not compare yourselves with people in the so-called work-a-day world. [...]

[...] In periods of intense inner activity that were enjoyable and productive, you disapproved of yourselves because you were not at the same time socially oriented, vigorously involved in exercises, or physically oriented pursuits, and so you disapproved of yourselves.

Here, as opposed to the apartment, where the life-styles were seemingly in a more transitory situation, you have both again dramatized yourselves to some degree as outsiders in a negative fashion, disapprovingly seeing yourselves in relationship to your neighbors, but not constructively. [...]

When you were both working outside with jobs, out in the community, going to bars and dancing, seeing neighbors often and having parties, you disapproved of yourselves because you were not sufficiently subjective, isolated, et cetera.

You find yourselves landowners somewhat. [...]

[...] What you should say is, “Let the Gods within you get up and laugh and bless yourselves, do than or unto yourselves, treat yourselves like Gods and so, indeed shall you be,” and then run while they boot you out. [...]

[...] I have always tried to keep you from making this error and always sought to release from within yourselves your own abilities. [...]

Some of you could meet yourselves coming down the street and not even say, hello. [...]

[...] You are not nearly as lonely within yourselves as you suppose that you are. [...]

[...] Awaken yourselves of humor—it is lost in the bulrushes (after a pun from Florence). [...]

[...] It is that you have made a bargain with yourselves. [...]

[...] You brought yourselves together. [...]

You brought yourselves together for a reason. [...]

[...] And if all of you will listen, in your own way, you can apply what I am about to say to yourselves though for right now I am addressing these two (Sue and Juanita). [...]

Now each of you, in your own way, hide certain groupings of feelings from yourselves so I am not necessarily directing this specifically at our friend here except that she has the trouble with the ear this evening. [...]

[...] You can tell yourselves that you can simply let that effort go. [...]

If you trust yourselves, and approve of yourselves, all of your problems literally dissolve, and playful creativity bursts into its full flower.

[...] It is impossible, I know, and not really beneficial, to try to separate yourselves entirely from the cultural world, but you should understand the makeup of that world, and be able now and then at least to separate your private experiences from it, even though they must occur in its context.

To some extent, it is because you have accepted the newspapers’ view of reality as real, that you have allowed yourselves to dwell upon certain attitudes about your fellows—so that for example sometimes the world does not seem to deserve great art; or that you even feel you do not want to share your work with the stupid bastards (Seth said, staring at me. [...]

[...] To some extent —underlined and qualified —you hypnotized yourselves into your view of reality. [...]

[...] The entire pattern of these latest sessions deals with your inner reactions to your beliefs about yourselves and the world. [...]

[...] To cut down the barriers, not between yourselves and others, so much as the barriers that you have set up against yourselves. [...]

[...] Now you show somewhat more of yourselves in class than you do in your usual life situations. [...]

[...] And why should you try to be psychically educated while closing yourself off emotionally from the others who come to class for you all have put up barriers between yourselves. [...]

[...] By accepting your feelings, at this moment or at any moment as they apply to yourselves and to others in the room, you can make your first steps. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The two of you from your first meeting actually responded largely to portions of yourselves unmanifest then—to portions of yourselves that you are only now becoming. [...]

(Pause.) You must almost think of yourselves in important ways, as almost having been born in 1964. [...]

(10:25.) A note: the two of you—for you are both involved since 1964—have not only initiated a new framework from which others, as well as yourselves, can view the nature of reality more clearly, but you also had to start from scratch, so to speak, to get the material, learn to trust it, and then to apply it to your own lives—even while “the facts were not all in yet.” [...]

[...] You try to inoculate yourselves against yourselves — a nearly impossible situation, of course. You expect your motives to be selfish because you have been told that they are, and so when you catch yourselves with unkind motives you are almost comforted, because you think that at least you are behaving normally.

When you let yourselves alone, you are spontaneously reasonable, but because of your beliefs it seems that reason and spontaneity make poor bedfellows.

There is a door within yourselves and you know that it exists. [...] You have merely to look within yourselves and open the door. [...]

[...] You will have your sessions when you take some time to look within yourselves. [...]
