“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] No contradictions are involved, but the imagery involves the assumption of physical mobility.

[...] Your neuronal structure necessitates a certain focus so that other experiences counter to your conscious assumptions remain probable or latent. [...]

[...] The error is the assumption that the vehicle is pursuing the individual rather than some other party. [...]

[...] Your experience dictates what you make of the objects that exist as root assumptions within this reality. Now, in other realities and in the Alpha state, there are certain root assumptions like your objects, but you will perceive these again in your own individual manner, and you must learn to differentiate there as you do here. [...]

[...] More than that, however, your question of course reflects your cultural beliefs and assumptions, and so you do not realize that in some ways such conscious knowledge of the body’s workings might limit rather than expand concepts and experience of the body and the self.

[...] All I hope to do is to show you the assumptions behind your questions. [...]

[...] You cannot divorce philosophy from action, and the cruelty in slaughterhouses would not be perpetrated if it were not for distorted philosophies dealing with the survival of the fittest on the one hand, and the egotistical assumption that God gave man animals to do with as man wished.

Even the symbols, then, at various stages of consciousness will appear differently, some seeking to have stability and permanence as your physical objects, following the principles or root assumptions of corporeal reality, and some changing much more quickly, as in the dream state, these being more immediate and sensitive indicators of feeling. [...]

[...] In this environment, permanency is not a root assumption. [...]

[...] You must not take the root assumptions of physical existence with you as you journey through these levels of consciousness. [...]

[...] 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.

[...] Both of us ended up more incensed than informed, however; it seemed to us that even on its own terms the piece contained many unjustified conclusions that were based on very flimsy evidence — and assumptions — at best.

[...] You must learn the new root assumptions in other words. [...]

“Yet,” she continued, “second thoughts make us question old assumptions: Granted the existence of counterparts to begin with, certainly their common goals, though differently expressed, would bring them together when possible. [...]

[...] The basic assumptions of which I spoke are thought processes of a subconscious variety, based upon these generic images.

[...] They become invisible assumptions, but they nevertheless color and form your personal experience.

[...] Others find it comparatively easy to recognize such inner assumptions when they appear in a religious context, but are quite blind to them in other areas.

[...] You will interpret the private events of your lives, and the spectacular range of history, in the light of those assumptions about reality. They not only color your experience, but you create those events that more or less conform to those assumptions.

Space and time are both root assumptions, which simply means that man accepts both, and assumes that his reality is rooted in a series of moments and a dimension of space. [...]

[...] While physical, you follow physical laws, or assumptions. [...]

[...] Here the rigid assumptions of normal waking consciousness often fade, and you can find yourself performing those physically rejected activities, never realizing that you have peered into a probable existence of your own.

In other words, I may teach the same lesson in many different ways, according to the abilities and assumptions that are inherent in any given system in which I must operate. [...]

[...] Those assumptions are the basis of what I will call natural law.

[...] My personality is such that it is not intimate or understandable to you, now, simply because it is a personality based upon different root assumptions than your own, and has its prime existence in dimensions that are composed of personality structures and gestalts based on alien psychological activities.

As I have tried to explain, however, your assumptions about reality do indeed form it. [...]
