“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Within your field the automobile is perceived mainly as a physical object. Within some systems the same automobile would appear to be no more than a shadow. Within some systems the automobile would not be perceived at all, unless it were in motion. In other systems it would not be perceived at all, unless it were not in motion.

The sight of our imaginary automobile, therefore, is perceived by you as a visual stimulus, because you are conditioned to perceiving it in such a fashion. But it is also possible to perceive our automobile in entirely different fashions within different realities, and from various perspectives.

Reality is indeed not necessarily that which is constant within the various appearances of reality through all systems, as it is the perception of the whole picture of reality, or the sum of all reality as seen within the various systems. This involves quite a complicated point, and implies a complicated position; for true reality would not be completely either the reality of an automobile, say, as it appears within the physical system, or as it appears within the electrical system. It would not be that which appears identical to the two systems, but it would be indeed the sum of the realities of all systems, as applied to our weary automobile.

[...] As long as you believe firmly that you cannot afford the kind of automobile that you want, this will be literally true.

[...] The belief that you can afford the kind of car you require will in itself form the circumstances that will make such an automobile literally possible.

[...] It is highly impractical to believe as you do, regarding your automobile or prospects, for another.

As an automobile is put together at an assembly line, so the body is simply seen as a very efficient machine put together in nature’s “factory.” If all the parts are in their proper places, and functioning smoothly, then the machine should give as excellent service as any well-running automobile — or so it seems.

All of the automobile’s parts, however, are alone responsible for its operation as long as it has a responsible driver. [...]

[...] An automobile means one thing to you and one thing to Ruburt. [...]

I am speaking of the relationship in your mind between your father and automobiles. [...]

First of all, for Ruburt’s idea of an automobile. [...]

The automobile was the mother’s automobile, which was parked outside of the Colucci residence the evening you visited. [...]

(As soon as Seth said this, I remembered seeing the automobile parked before the Colucci’s house on the evening Jane and I visited there. [...] This is the somewhat complicated sequence of events here: Marie Colucci took the train to her parents’ home in New Jersey, and drove her mother back to Elmira in the parental automobile. [...]

[...] (Pause.) A connection with an afternoon scene, perhaps your parents, Joseph, and an automobile.

There is a conversation concerning a schedule, and an automobile ride. [...]

[...] An impression of a journey by automobile. [...]

[...] The journey by automobile can refer to our driving home Saturday evening. [...]

[...] She began to stop at intervals, exclaiming over all of those surroundings that were, of course, very familiar to us: the swooping automobiles, the street lights and neon signs, the buildings themselves, the Chemung River rolling quietly behind its dike in back of the emporium we’d just left.

[...] Thoughts are not given the same validity as rocks or trees or beer cans (two of which sat on the coffee table between us at the moment) or automobiles. In your terms an automobile gets you somewhere. [...]

(The back of the object contains fine print concerning automobile parking regulations, damage or loss, responsibility, etc.

[...] The parking ticket was obtained at the state park as a result of a 60-mile round trip by automobile, as were the two subsequent parking tickets for the same state park. [...]

[...] The back of the parking ticket bears 15 lines of fine print pertaining to automobiles, loss or damage, etc. [...]

[...] And the color orange and black, and an automobile perhaps.

[...] And the color orange and black, and an automobile perhaps.” [...]

[...] Here Seth was still considering the previous questions pertaining, Jane thought, to the automobile or taxi idea.

Rectangular, having it seems some connection with metal or an automobile. [...]

[...] “Rectangular, having it seems some connection with metal or an automobile. [...]

[...] Jane explained that the motion of my hand as I wrote was related to the sounds of automobiles passing the house; the rhythmic noises of her rocker were sensually connected to the feel of her slacks beneath her hand; when she ran a finger down a fold in them “amplified long sound” was produced. [...]

(The sound of a passing automobile leaped up her legs, through her body and down to her fingertips. [...]

The automobile material still stands.

I have not been able to clarify the automobile material. [...]

[...] I don’t recall seeing any automobiles.”

[...] No one was hurt, the cars were not badly smashed and no automobiles were involved. [...]

[...] She saw herself having an automobile accident at an intersection. [...]

One instance concerns Ruburt and your automobile. The other involves you, Joseph, and again your automobile.

Imagine a man in an automobile who passes our man at the corner. Now when our man in the automobile reaches the tree he is further ahead, so to speak, in distance. [...]

[...] A machine such as an automobile, perhaps.

[...] “automobile” could refer to our driving to the discotheque, though there could be other meanings here, we think.

[...] There were automobiles, again considered as fanciful, technological art.

[...] A wet snow had started after supper and we’d shut our windows, thus cutting down on the rumble and clatter of automobile traffic.

[...] I developed the habit as a teenager, reading signs and automobile license plates aloud and backward when my father would take my mother, my two younger brothers, and myself for Sunday rides in his 1932 Chevrolet. [...]

[...] She said she knows nothing about automobiles. [...]
