“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: As I said before, also, when faced with the difficulty, the conventional, rational approach tells you to look at the problem, examine it thoroughly, project it into the future, and imagine its dire consequences — and so, faced with the idea of a disclaimer (for Mass Events), that is what you did to some extent, the two of you. You saw the disclaimer as fact, imagined it in your minds on the pages of our books, projected all of that onto future books, and for fine good measure you both imagined this famous disclaimer published in editions of all the books as well.

[...] It was not a conclusion based upon fact, but a conclusion based upon a reason that applied to one probability only, one series of probable acts — or based upon the probable act of a disclaimer being used to begin with.¹ So again, what we are dealing with is an overall lesson in the way in which the reasoning mind has been taught to react. [...]

[...] I wouldn’t mind doing some work on the project when I finish “Unknown” Reality this weekend, along with other things in the works. [...]

Keep that in mind, then, and discuss it.

All of this reminds me of my old idea of a projected book: The Contents of the Mind, or the Unofficial Contents of the Mind. After reading this first page of notes about Peg G. and the paintings, I remember my old ideas … that we organize the contents of our minds along certain lines that then become habitual.

[...] And the discussion was … extremely clear in my mind.

[...] I’ve organized data with the focus of art in mind as a focus point through which to … perceive the world.

The idea is to be alert for psychological contents of the mind that we usually ignore, that science can’t prove or disprove … where we take experience over theory.

[...] Then try to trace its emergence from the thread of your own past life as you understand it, and project outward in your mind what other events might emerge from that one to become action in your probable future. [...]

[...] What similarities are there that unite both photographs in your mind? [...] In your mind follow what directions that self would have taken, as you think of such events. [...]

[...] Groups of words were just popped into my mind. [...]

Attention can be shifted from any physical moment to any probable moment by a sideways parallel imaginative thrust, a sideling off of focus, if the mind can get over its fear of dying to itself.

[...] In the last class, Seth had told the students that he would help those who were ready to project. [...]

[...] As she read the dream, all kinds of images and ideas came into my mind.

[...] Then these materializations of panic and pain play about the physical body, projected by the ego, and steal the powers of the subconscious mind from their natural constructive tasks.… In other words, the ego becomes a tool to disrupt rather than to create.

[...] She told Rob that our work with Seth was a lifetime project, that we would publish his manuscripts, and help spread his ideas. [...]

[...] Without the conscious mind of man it nevertheless retains this inner consciousness of all its parts, above and below the ground, and manipulates them constantly.

[...] “As long as Seth talks about philosophical stuff, I don’t mind, I guess. [...]

In our own sessions he is not aware, consciously, of the creative work that is being done, precisely because he has gone out of the range that the conscious mind can follow. He has projected a portion of himself into an entirely different kind of subjective reality, a different dimension of activity entirely.

[...] The entire framework of your existence, therefore, is constantly flowing from within outward, and being projected into those physical symbols that you mistake, then, for reality.

[...] Nor could I keep all of Seth’s book in mind, even though I was working with the manuscript just now. [...]

[...] In doing so you rob yourself of peace of mind. You imagine future distractions, yet when Ruburt projects his symptoms into the future, you see clearly his error—though he may not.
