“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When I say “You create your own reality through your thoughts,” you, meaning anyone, have a tendency to imagine each thought as a small brick, a psychological object, each one being formed into the structure of your experience. This can be an advantageous way of understanding certain principles—and I may have well hinted of such analogies myself. In your existence it is quite reasonable to visualize a desired event, for example, in the belief that the image and thought will help make the event physically real – and so it shall. It may also of course mean that other, perhaps more desirable events that you have not thought of may not happen—because you have been so specific, and perhaps determined your desire from your own level of understanding only—where the reservoirs of this deeper mental system might have been able to tell you that the event you want so badly is not, after all, to your best interest.

Your usual perception is of course blocked by time, and by your conscious understanding at any given point in your lives. The processes at this other level are so lightning fast, so inclusive, that they would not seem to carry any recognizable concepts, simply because the vast amount of information could not be followed or slowed for your attention.

At those basic levels direct knowing is involved, knowing itself in all of its infinite patterns, and that process alone involves unimaginable motion.

The mental processes at this deeper level, however, are different of course than your conscious ones, and in dreams, again, there are hints of a deeper kind of knowing, and a deeper kind of unity. When dreams appear bizarre it is only because, awake, you cannot follow the intricate creative unity that unites them. I am giving you this material for a reason, and I hope to carry it further, because I want both now to begin to have a feeling for the reality that exists behind your experience with concepts or ideas. And the information itself will help you intuitively apprehend some of the material just given.

(10:44 PM. Jane said she had “strong, definite feelings” about the material tonight, as if Seth was trying hard to reach her beneath usual levels of consciousness. She was very interested in reading the session when I had it typed. I told her I thought it was excellent. “I really felt it was great material, and that if you understood what it meant you’d understand a lot,” she said. “You know what I mean?”)
