“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“A connection with the letter M”, referred, I thought, to the initials, MCI, which are used to designate the modern new office building here in Elmira, at which I bought my membership in the AAA. [...] Note on the object that the address of this new building was added later to the card, beneath the old address which was blocked out. This building was barely in operation at the time I joined AAA, in August 1964; the top floors were not yet finished.

(“Connection with music”, reminds me that I heard music while in the AAA office; the music was piped throughout the new building by a public address system. Jane and I are well aware of this because a friend of ours worked in another office in the MCI building, and remarked often on this piped music, which she disliked but was forced to listen to all day on the job. [...]

[...] It took place at the same time I purchased membership in AAA, and the locale of this unappreciated event was a gasoline station directly across the street from the MCI building. [...]

[...] I went across the street to the MCI building, joined AAA, then walked home. [...]

[...] The forms then build, one within or upon the other, in the manner in which I explained that the gestalt of a human body was maintained. [...]

I have mentioned, for example, what you may think of as infinite building blocks or pyramids of comprehension, and these could not operate within your physical universe, as the basic gestalt freedom is severely limited. [...]

You may not be aware of the conscious nature of each atom in your body, or of the gestalt consciousness formed by those atoms as they build into cells, but it is not necessary for them, or for their own awareness of themselves, that you give them that recognition. [...]

[...] Energy always builds. [...]

[...] If you can, imagine a huge building with many rooms, each room entirely different from the other. [...]

The building shares some common passageways, however, as well as a common cellar and attic... [...]

[...] On our rather bulky analogy the guests are all portions of the inner self, who is the unseen attendant who maintains the building.

[...] She’d had an image of a “huge building with many rooms.”

(“Also a connection with a building that is not seen from the front but from the side, perhaps from a verandah.” This building data could thus have resulted from the steps mentioned above. [...] We have photos of buildings in our album, of course, but no specific building or location comes to mind.

[...] (Jane gestured, her eyes still closed.) Also a connection with a building that is not seen from the front but from the side, perhaps from a verandah.

[...] Jane hasused federation, and words like before re large buildings such as post offices, etc., so it seems that here federation refers to the college at Oswego, where Dr. Instream teaches.

[...] He has called them “great building blocks of energy.”

A large white or pastel building, they had something to do with today. [...]

They stay at a pink stucco building.

(“The building had a rough cement finish, but was not pink.”)

[...] Practically speaking, this means that buildings will last longer; in your context, that ideas wedded to form will be relatively eternal. [...]

[...] There are better places than others to build houses or structures — points where health and vitality are strengthened, where, other things being equal, plants will grow and flourish and where all beneficial conditions seem to meet.

Each thought or emotion therefore exists as an electromagnetic energy unit or as a combination of these under certain conditions, and often with the help of coordinate points, they emerge into the building blocks of physical matter. [...]

[...] (Eyes open and closed.) It is of an old, rather than a new place, I believe, connected with a stone building. (Eyes open again; with gestures.) Perhaps the building is in some way on exhibition, or one must pay to enter it. Again, this is a picture of some sort, and not the building itself.

The building (eyes open) has a resemblance to an English-type mansion, or large building of this sort, set in fine grounds. The turnstile may simply be symbolic—you may have to pay to enter the building. [...]

[...] A connection with a large building on the other side here, and a sign. [...]

Your idea of space travel is indeed as ridiculous as trying to build a huge, tall structure many stories high, and considering this building as a space vehicle. Buildings may be used for many things; as space vehicles you will admit they would be hilarious. [...]

[...] In it Seth compared our idea of space travel to traveling from the basement of a building to the top floor; and for a building he used as an example the ancient Tower of Babel.)

[...] You almost hope, to continue the analogy, that you could construct a building high enough to reach the stars.

[...] The entity, for example, works with the same sort of individual cooperation, and uses building blocks of energy in much the same manner, that the atoms and molecules in the physical world combine to form cells, organs, and the whole structure of the physical body.

[...] You pride yourselves on your technology, and the production of durable goods, buildings and roads, yet many of these are insignificant when compared to other structures within the “past.”

A true understanding of the way in which an idea becomes physical matter would result in a complete revamping of your so-called modern technology, and in buildings, roads, and other structures that would far outlast those you now have. [...]

Buildings appear to be made of rock or stone or steel. [...] They (the buildings) are solidfied emotions, solidified subjective states, given physical materialization.

It is obvious that the body grows up about the inner self, and that trees grow out of the ground, whereas buildings do not spring up like flowers of their own accord; so the inner self has various methods of creation and uses the EE units in different ways, as you shall see as we continue with the discussion.

(Here Seth refers to the last session, and the confusing envelope data in which Seth told us, in error, that certain data pertaining to a medical building was correct. [...]

Your impression of the building the other evening contained the strongest emotional charge instantly available, that seemed to offer the needed information.

[...] Something brief in time, or brief in space, which could lead me for example to the impression of a small building. [...]

[...] In back of the automobile can be seen a trestle-like affair, and in back of this indications of a building. [...] Hoffman Nurseries is a local concern and actually contains many buildings. Portions of three smaller ads on back of the object also refer to local businesses, and would involve buildings.

[...] A connection with a building that seems to be behind the wires.

(“A connection with a building that seems to be behind the wires.” [...]

Now: I call the building blocks of matter CU’s—units of consciousness. [...]

[...] When CU’s operate as particles, in your terms, they build up a continuity in time. [...]

Those units of consciousness are the building blocks for the physical material of your body, for the trees and rocks, the oceans, the continents, and the very manifestation of space itself as you understand it.

[...] Scientifically, again, the units can be thought of as building blocks of matter. [...]

[...] They are building up momentum. [...]

[...] And when you refuse to accept them, they build up and the longer you refuse to acknowledge them they continue to build up until they have an explosive charge. [...]

[...] You need not tell the other person or you may, but if you refuse to ignore the feeling, the feeling builds up until someday the poor man makes a simple, innocent mood [sic], you will beat him over the head, or worse, develop a knock in your knee because you want to hit him over the head and do not dare to do so. [...]

[...] It is only when you refuse to accept them that they build up charges so that if you have been in the habit of refusing to accept them there may be charges that have been built up. [...]

(This time, I found myself standing in the doorway of an office building in New York City. [...] The building could be the Carnegie Hall office building, or one very close to Carnegie Hall, on 57th St. I do not recall the street number. [...]

[...] His personality needs all the building up it can get.

[...] At the same time, I felt my familiar sensation, the thrilling tingling feeling of sound, begin to build up in my legs. [...]

[...] Possibly a reference to the old brick building which houses the Art Shop, on Elmira’s West Water Street. [...] The building is old, but probably not as old as 1832. [...]

(The row of old buildings on West Water Street has been in for much discussion recently, as eyesores, etc. [...] Recently a group of these buildings near the Art Shop burned down in a spectacular fire.

[...] It does not build up the image of a man, but it builds up a composite sensation which represents, say, a given individual. [...]

[...] The creative energies build up their thickly-dimensioned pseudo-realities of pain. [...]

[...] The ego can build up around the inner self like a glacier, and the exercises help melt it away. [...]

[...] Your tree builds up a composite of sensations of this sort, sensing not the physical dimensions of a material object, whatever it is, but the vital psychic formation within and about it.

[...] A congestion builds up in the back and arm. [...]

[...] It amounted to perhaps a medium-long paragraph, and included a description of a building he would visit, its offices, and a man to whom he would apply for employment. [...]

[...] The description of the building matched, as well as the description Seth had given of the man Don would talk to about work. [...]

[...] I want him to concentrate, now, upon those beliefs that are working for him, to quite consciously build up the sense of his own worth by listing the uses to which he has put his abilities. [...]
