“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If the therapist tries to convince such a person that the hallucinated personage does not exist, then this threatens the person’s concepts of personal sanity.

Simply stated, this is one of the thumbnail passages that explain Seth’s concept of God:

[...] Most of your God concepts deal with a static God, and here is one of your main theological difficulties. [...]

“The personality of God as generally conceived is a one-dimensional concept based upon man’s small knowledge of his own psychology. [...]

CHAPTER
EIGHTEEN:

The God Concept—
The Creation
—The Three Christs

[...] I tried to look composed and confident, though I still found it difficult to face strangers so early in the day, much less the world at large — particularly when I was expected to explain my own psychic experiences and the philosophical concepts of The Seth Material.

Here I will stress subjective experience itself as it is turned toward the dreaming state in particular, and deal with Seth’s conceptions of the dream universe through excerpts from his continuing manuscript. [...]

While the main emphasis of this book will be on Seth’s dream concepts, the reader is invited to test them out for himself or herself. [...]

Many of Seth’s concepts, on probabilities or on, say, the nature of radio stars, cannot be checked out except by specialists. [...]

Now: I outlined some opposing ideas held by many people — all involving concepts of good or evil being applied in areas in which they do not belong.

[...] See Volume 1: “The fourth inner sense involves cognition of a concept in much more than your usual intellectual terms. It involves experiencing a concept completely, to the extent of being a concept completely. [...] Concepts have what we call electrical and chemical composition. The molecules and ions of the consciousness change into the concept, which is thereby directly experienced. [...]

[...] I feel a connection with bowling, but believe this to be a mistaken conception, perhaps on Philip’s part.

[...] On a reduced scale, she said, she was again aware of the concept of action without object, dealt with at some length in the notes to the last session.

(Jane now added the information that the concept of action reminded her of the “red chair episode.” [...]

[...] It is true, nevertheless, that many of the world’s organizations are formed around a completely different, opposing concept—taking it for granted that the worst possibility rather then the best one will be activated in the lives of its members. [...]

The medical profession unwittingly promotes the idea of illness above health, and in its devotion to uncovering disease it often completely forgets the entire concept of the body’s natural defenses and vitality. [...]

[...] I do not hear Jane mention the concept of the helper very often. [...]

[...] In your system there is some lag before physical reality catches up with your inner conceptions. [...]

This concept is one of the easiest to explore, since as I have said your clock time is one of the most artificial of your camouflages. The time concept in dreams may seem far different than your conception of time in the waking state, when you have your eyes on a clock and are concerned with getting to some destination by, say, 12:15. [...]

[...] He realized, I believe, from the beginning that the conscious critical mind had little to do with the initial conception.

[...] But you must first disconnect the physical concept of time and watches.

[...] When you are not challenging the world’s concepts there is hardly any problem.

[...] The economy itself is a reflection of people’s concepts, their way of life, and it is not working. [...]

[...] Some of the concepts that will come in The “Unknown” Reality will help Ruburt understand the nature of healing, for that is highly important. [...]

[...] This event initiated her psychic development; almost ten years after its conception the work still serves as a “touchstone” for her — and today Jane discovered concepts in it that she’d been blind to earlier. [...]

[...] As mentioned (in the 628th session in Chapter Six), there was a time before his condition developed when his “good-self thoughts” and his “bad-self thoughts” vied for his attention, and the body tried desperately to react to constant, alternating and often contradictory concepts.

You must understand that in a good measure much of our material is an attempt to put into words concepts and ideas that are far too vast for any such translation.

[...] I must disentangle concepts, unravel them, in order to explain them, and much is necessarily lost in the process.

[...] I hope through the addition of various subjective experiences in the sessions to give you the feel of concepts when this is possible.

[...] The same unfortunately applies to the Eastern concept of nirvana, and to the Christian idea of heaven. [...]

[...] She said the notes were intended to furnish a mundane account of our lives that would “parallel” Seth’s more complicated data on probabilities and other concepts. [...]

[...] In one way both concepts are on the same level, and deal with realities in consecutive time sequences. [...]

[...] When Jane finished with certain challenges, Seth remarked, “… there will be a ‘birth’ of seemingly new concepts, simply because his [Jane’s] old mental barriers kept him from making certain important connections, and an increasing system of communication between waking and dreaming states.”

“Seth is using the English language (my native one) to discuss issues that often involve concepts most difficult to describe in the language itself — or, indeed, in any language.

However, the work we do deals with concepts that consciously we’d paid little attention to in earlier life. [...] Jane’s early poetry, as I show in certain notes, clearly reflected her intuitive understanding of some of the concepts Seth came to elaborate upon much later. [...]

[...] In Volume 1, I refer to certain sessions — the 681st, for instance — every so often because in them Seth comes through with key concepts that should be stressed.

I think Seth’s concept of simultaneous time will always elude us to some extent as long as we’re physical creatures, yet it gives clues to invisible mechanisms — we can better understand that Jane speaks her version of what Seth is. [...]

We prefer instead Seth’s — as well as our own — concepts of the inviolate nature of the individual consciousness, before, during, and after physical existence, in ordinary terms, and whether or not any theory of reincarnation is involved. [...]

The fetus itself, before its conception, responds to a self not yet physically apparent; and the future, in those terms, draws new life from the past. [...]

[...] This in itself annihilates your stereotyped concepts and releases you from time’s dictatorship. [...]

4. I suggest reviewing Seth’s excellent material on probabilities, cellular consciousness, the moment point, and related concepts in the 681st session for Volume 1.

[...] You can express almost any idea that you want in vocal terms, even if you have hardly any conception at all of the way in which your own speech is executed.

[...] The body, however, exists with the mind to contend with — and the mind produces an inner environment of concepts. [...]

[...] They all learn through experience, and despite all of your concepts, learning is impossible without imagination at any level.

[...] It is difficult you see to verbalize this concept. [...]

[...] Such a concept as a sentence would be meaningless to them, and yet pattern is involved in the colors so that the shape and form of a color also has meaning. [...]

[...] He is to be the part of nature that will specialize, again, in the self-conscious use of concepts. [...]

[...] Jane and I find it fascinating to think about—to attempt to trace—some of the ways by which the overall consciousness of the United States continually becomes involved with—entwined with—the consciousnesses of adversaries like Russia and Iran: Such consciousnesses, once created, continue to grow and to complicate themselves in new ways within our concept of “time.” [...]
