“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: all in all, the overall systems of conventional belief are relatively simple, and serve to define reality by numbering as truths or facts certain kinds of events, therefore accepting them as legitimate furniture for the mind.

You have a true or false world in that regard, and a relatively very flat psychological view of identity. Within that framework, however, you do have the creative abilities, and these stand out in their own fashions, since they “play with the facts.” They often do not honor conceptual conventions. They do not fit the true-or-false category. The imagination can of course conceive of many events, whether or not those events actually exist.

(9:01.) When you are dealing with that kind of philosophical investigation, you are more or less forced to look for other definitions. (The noise from the fireplace was now quite loud.) Your very ideas of the nature of reality change. You are still to some extent forced to recognize conventional structures and organizations, including psychological ones. At the same time you search for greater evidence of a vastly different kind of reality. (Long pause.) The larger facts about psychological reality, for example, cannot be fitted to the world’s definitions. You can only get versions and interpretations. Translations and dramatizations that serve to give you glimpses of psychological structures whose very natures do not fit the facts of the world (all intently.

I recognize the difficulties, for example, that you encounter quite personally as you struggle with Ruburt’s physical condition, or those you experience, say, watching television news as you see spread before your vision unfortunate events that seem to portray most clearly evidence of man’s flawed nature.
