“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Before the session I reminded Jane that we wanted something from Seth on her adverse reactions to the stronger-than-aspirin pills she’s been experimenting with lately: Tylenol, etc. The only one that’s seemingly compatible has turned out to be regular Anacin, beside the aspirin she’s always used. I wondered whether her body didn’t want to ingest the stronger stuff because it didn’t feel it necessary, etc.

(We also discussed a letter Jane had received today from a young man who’d visited us unannounced a couple of months ago; he thinks he’s being bugged by nasty voices from outer space; before that he’d insisted that Seth was speaking through him. He still refuses to consider that his problem is a psychological one, instead of disembodied, outside evil voices picking on him. I’d felt badly about his visit, since we certainly accorded him a hostile reception, and evidently had accomplished little.

In the same way, beneath your conscious use of language there lies a vast inner communication, a mental system upon whose basis language must rest. There you deal with ideas and concepts in a far different context, if you prefer, one that deals with similarities, complementary relationships, unities. This is the most complex of systems, in which each detail has meaning—not only because of its unique individual nature, but because of the greater meaning that any one detail has in the larger mental structure of the universe.

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.

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.

(10:35.) Now give us a moment.... Any of the pills are all right, taken now and then—but the stronger ones provide overstimulations when taken often, and these caused Ruburt’s difficulties. The less the better. He is also unused to taking medications. And that had something to do with the side effects. Otherwise, all I can do is to stress what I have said before. His desire to walk in the kitchen is excellent, and shows new determination.
