“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If you shed the distorted concepts of unnatural guilt and accepted the wise ancient wisdom of natural guilt instead, there would be no wars. [...]

[...] Physically you could end up with a very serious condition; and mentally and emotionally such a clamping down on natural forces can result in “diseased” idea structures that are isolated from other more healthy concepts. [...]

[...] During this last material, she felt Seth trying to break the concept of it down into terms understandable to us. She also felt that at times it would not be possible to break concepts down into words. [...]

We have been dealing with quite drastic diseases, but the same concepts are true in other areas also. [...]

The entire idea of reincarnation has been highly distorted by other religious concepts. [...]

[...] Ruburt in most other areas has discarded that concept, however, and in so doing has enlarged the experiences of his consciousness, and confounded those who accept such principles unthinkingly, as the Air Force personnel.

[...] But the fact that the conception was accidental, and the death was accidental, has its own intuitive logic.

[...] Ruburt is amazed at some of the similarities that exist in the concept of time as I am giving it to you, and the concepts held by Dunne and Priestley.

Priestley’s concept here becomes more limiting than he realized. [...]

In concept, again on this particular point, Dunne went further. [...]

[...] This is an error that is precisely due to that which Priestley himself abhors: distortions in thought caused by reliance upon the concept of time as a series of moments.

He would, perhaps, stick to a respect for small details if they were part of a creative concept, even perhaps the creative concept of another, as details are extremely respected by him in his poetry, where he transforms them into creative concept.

[...] Mark’s paintings of the crucifixion, like other such paintings, created a concept form, within which an unexpressable concept is transformed into expressible terms and placed within a spatial framework.

The painting has its conception in intuition which you achieved during your past life as a woman. [...]

I am trying to stretch your imaginations, and to help you throw aside rigid concepts that literally blind you to the dimensions of your own reality. [...]

Now: We will see if we can express some concepts about the self in a new way. [...]

At least as she understands these concepts, Jane — and Seth — “took off” from them in individual, creative ways. [...]

[...] They are even more entangled with scientific concepts, and with science’s views of life in general. [...]

[...] Their entire concept of healing is eroded because they also believe so firmly in the body’s vulnerability. [...]

[...] However when the ego is too restrictive its conception of purposeful action becomes so narrow that many legitimate and necessary impulses are dammed up, forming these rejected action patterns.

The beliefs that you receive, therefore, are your parents’ conceptions of the nature of reality. [...] You receive ideas about the world in general and your relationship to it; and from your parents you are also given concepts of what you are. [...]

(Also, while she was giving the data Jane experienced a concept. [...]

(For some other material on concepts see the following sessions: 149, 151, 153, 164.

[...] He then threw out the God concept as a question for general discussion. [...]

(See the following sessions for material on the God concept, psychic and pyramid gestalts, and related questions: 51, 81, 95, 97, 115, 135, 146-9, 151, 177, among others, in Volumes 2, 3, and 4.)

[...] On return to my body, I discovered that my hands had produced an automatic script, explaining many of the concepts that I’d been given. [...]

[...] We call it the Seth material, and it deals with such topics as the nature of physical matter, time, and reality, the god concept, probable universes, health, and reincarnation. [...]

[...] And we listen, but usually we try to squeeze their messages into concepts that we can understand, cloaking them in worn stereotyped images. [...]

Within Seth’s concept of simultaneous time, the treasured images in this gallery are fine examples of how the “past” lives in the “present” and in the “future.”

“By the time” that the Garden of Eden tale reached your biblical stories, the entire picture had already been seen in the light of concepts about good and evil that actually appeared, in those terms, a long time later in man’s development. [...]

[...] The very attempt to describe reality in scientific terms, as they are currently understood, pays, my dear friend, undue tribute to a vocabulary that automatically scales down greater concepts to fit its rigors. [...]
