“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Despite the beliefs and teachings of religion and psychology, impulses are biological and psychic directional signals, meant to nudge the individual toward his/her greatest opportunities for expression and development privately—and also to insure the person’s contribution to mass social reality.”

(“The authority of the self has been eroded by religion, science, and psychology itself, so that impulses are equated with anti-social behavior, considered synonymous with it, or with individual expression at the expense of social order.”

(After supper this evening, Jane had a rather strong reaction, a new determination that had arisen from her encounters with the idea of impulse and inspiration. Making ready for the session, I discovered that she was quite vehemently going over and expressing [to some extent] what she’d learned today. She didn’t know whether she’d have a session or not. We talked about it all. She was “agitated, yet half-relaxed.” she said more than once. I thought it all a very good sign that some of our new thinking was beginning to take hold. Certainly the events were healthy and positive, compared to our earlier ways of thinking and reacting. I can’t describe Jane’s reactions too well from the observer’s viewpoint, except to approximate them here. Her stomach was queasy, she said, as it sometimes gets when she deals with very personal material that is also very accurate.

They seem to be factual only in periods when the goals of a society do not fully include the arts or philosophies in the larger organizational structure of the community.

One important issue is to forget “the world,” and instead deal with specific instances. The world is made up of individuals. Ruburt’s position has been conciliatory, and encouraged protection above expression.
