[...] You both insist upon applying quite intellectual concepts to creative work, and ignoring Ruburt’s natural rhythms. [...]

Secondary physical constructions are those created by a consciousness of its conception of other consciousnesses, from data received through telepathy and other means.

Growth is an erroneous conception that begins with the distortive idea of continuous physical matter, durable in time. [...]

[...] Jane plans to use some of those dreams in the book she’s planning on Seth’s concept of the magical approach to reality.

[...] Such data, such other reference points, come into your perceptions however as you are ready for them, and they change the horizons and whole conception of your universe as they do so.

Now: In our book, I will be doing my best to explain the origin of your universe, and in such a way that most of the pertinent questions are answered, but man’s present concept of reality is so limited that I must often resort to analogies.

[...] (A point I rather deliberately made during discussion at last break.) This is limiting in concept, and rather uncharacteristic of you in larger respects.

[...] The god concept is a valid one. [...]

[...] Yet I was also aware of the same kind of reluctance I’d felt in the sleep state last night; as if I was trying to do something … difficult, or translate information that was more distant than usual from our ordinary concepts. [...]

[...] While within the systems in which I work there are certain basic similarities, in some dimensions I would not be equipped to be a teacher simply because the basic concepts of experience would be alien to my nature, and the learning processes themselves outside of my own experience.

[...] There will also be additional information concerning the concept of time, as the experience of time is strongly connected with the motion of mental acts, as they are projected outward from their center into the fields of various camouflage systems.

[...] It worried him when people seem to turn to the material in the same way that they might turn to a church, merely substituting one set of ideas for another, while never experiencing the concepts themselves.

(Readers of The Seth Material had asked Seth to elaborate upon data of the three Christs given in Chapter Eighteen, “The God Concept,” of that book. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Reincarnation, as it is usually explained, in terms of one life before another, is a myth; but a myth enabling many to partially understand facts that they would otherwise dismiss — insisting as they do upon the concept of a continuity of time.

[...] You simply had not examined its contents with the realization that your beliefs were not necessarily reality, but often your conceptions of it.

[...] Man himself, according to this concept, could not affect that ideal world one whit. [...]

Your time concepts are particularly limiting, because they lead you into a particular focus in which you concentrate upon impediments to your desire. [...]

[...] The God concept, of course, originated from mankind’s innate knowledge that consciousness precedes physical construction.

We will, here, avoid a discussion in depth of the God concept. [...]

[...] We still have a host of questions about Seth’s reality, his concepts, and Jane’s role [and my own] in all of this — that is, questions about consciousness itself, basically: consciousness getting to know itself in endless variations, as I’ve written before, and whether or not it’s couched in physical form.

[...] The idea of infinity is implied here — a concept whose implications make us uneasy, for although Seth’s material can be said to imply infinities of creation upon the part of each of us, still we realize the conscious mind’s inability to truly grasp all of the qualities inherent within such a notion.
