“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Faced with that kind of a projected future, no wonder many adolescents prefer to die before catching sight of the very first hint of deterioration — the first wrinkle or touch of gray in the hair. What forerunners of disaster such natural signs must seem (exclamation point)! And at the other end of the scale, older parents are treated by their grown children as if they themselves were falling into a grotesque version of a second childhood. Many people actually speak louder to older persons, whether or not they have any hearing difficulties at all.

The weight of unfortunate beliefs perhaps falls heaviest on the older segments of the population, for the beliefs have had a longer period of time to operate relatively unimpeded.

These ideas do not only inflict severe difficulties upon older members of the population, but they also have a vital part to play in the behavior of many young people who commit suicide directly or indirectly. It seems to such youngsters that the pinnacle of life is just at hand, to last only briefly, and then to be snatched away. Undue stress is laid upon youthful beauty and youthful achievement, so that it appears that all of the rest of life’s activities must suffer by contrast.

Many embarking upon young adulthood think that the older generations have done everything wrong. However, this belief frees them from childish concepts in which older persons were always not only right but infallible, and it gives them the challenge to tackle personal and world problems.

[...] If you are fifty and are still convinced that the older generations are rigid, fast in the way of growing senile, mentally incompetent and physically deteriorating, then you are holding an old belief in the ineffectiveness of the older generations and setting up negative suggestions for yourself. [...]

[...] Grown into adolescent years, the same offspring are then shocked to discover their parents to be quite human and fallible, and another conviction often takes over: a belief in the inadequacy and inferiority of the older generations, and in the rigidity and callousness of those who run the world.

Now Mossman’s Eve should not drive with an older woman on these days. [...] The older woman has a sharp nose and rather elongated features.

[...] (Pause.) The woman, the older woman, is in a state of inner emotional turmoil, that should be resolved by the end of May.

[...] The accident, again, would be comparatively minor unless the older woman’s inner existence drastically changes for the worse. [...]

[...] The sister was older than yourself, and you felt, favored over you by your father.

[...] She was not that much older than you, you felt, to be put in charge of you, since there was only a five-year difference.

[...] The fascination was an expression of a past fascination of a different kind, though you were pleased that this time you were older.

(The older woman referred to by Seth is Virginia’s aunt, the younger is the aunt’s daughter-in-law. The older woman is Virginia’s mother’s only sister. The data refers to a long-standing family relationship involving older relatives, a farm, furniture, a sale of land, etc. [...]

(To Virginia:) There seems to be on your part a relationship with another woman, either an older woman or a woman you feel to be older. [...]

[...] And an A, with a large family and a particular picture of the family, old, three girls with large hair ribbons, two boys, several years older, picture taken on porch steps very early 1900’s.

(The man resembled Rob to an amazing degree, except that he was an older version; profile darn near identical, hair white, same brows and same expression as Rob has when deeply upset. The woman reminded me of myself, though she was older, much stouter and also unpleasantly reminiscent of my mother.

[...] This York Beach dancing establishment was actually a ground floor room in one of the older beach hotels there. [...]

(The couple in question sat at a table for two directly in front of the bandstand; a most peculiar spot, I recall thinking, for an older pair who did not smile, did not dance, who caught our eyes occasionally, who did not seem to care about the drinks before them. [...]

The other, older perceptive mechanisms still linger on however. [...] Other layers of the self biologically respond to the older, more generalized but less limited perceptive mechanisms.

[...] A letter connected with an older individual.

(“A letter connected with an older individual.” [...]

[...] In a way later, I “put my faith” in Rob as being older, wiser, and so forth, and idealized him. [...]

The Murphy version is more applicable than the older version Ruburt referred to.

(“And a connection with an older man here.” Jane and I felt reasonably sure here that this referred to the boss of the studio at which both Wendell and I worked in 1941-3. His name is Jack Binder, and he is in his 60’s now—perhaps twenty years older than the crew of artists he had working for him. [...]
