“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Feel concepts. Begin with your intellect and then leap over to feeling the concepts, and go along and merge with them. Begin if you want then, with what seems to be intellectual meditation, intellectual thought, and then let it carry you away, and it will carry you into a feeling of concept in which you understand a new concept. [...]

I have tried to explain the God concept in many ways, using different vocabularies, speaking very simply; and yet because of the subject matter I see that it is not understood. [...]

[...] Now you are squirreling around in your own head playing with words and concepts and not listening to what I have said. [...]

[...] The large complex dealing with the development of the new drugs and so forth forms its own organization, so that the concentration is always upon more drugs, and the concept of any natural health is lost in the process. [...] This makes it easier to triumph over such concepts. [...]

You have been trying to squeeze the soul into tight concepts of the nature of existence, making it follow your limited beliefs. [...]

In many ways this is a cozy concept, though to some it can be quite frightening with its connotations of eternal damnation. [...]

Jane treated similar concepts poetically in 1965:

4. For material on probabilities, the god concept, and religion, see chapters 14–17 and 21 in Seth Speaks, and Chapter 17 in Adventures in Consciousness.

(9:10 P.M. Jane began her own dictation before tonight’s session by saying that as she’d typed her statements yesterday [for Appendix 4] she would “get glimpses” of some of the concepts Seth was going to talk about in “Unknown” Reality — yet they would immediately vanish from her consciousness, so that all she had left was the knowledge that she’d experienced the insight.

[...] It was new, maybe; it would involve concepts that by themselves went against the grain of usual conscious thought, which wants to go consecutively. [...]

[...] Within it fulfillment and development are not dependent upon permanence of physical matter, however, and are not at all dependent upon any concept like that of your physical time. [...]

[...] She also reported that during this last delivery she had experienced another concept from Seth. [...]

(Jane made a quick drawing of the concept she received tonight. [...]

(For some material on travel through concepts and impulses and time, see sessions 131 and 135. [...]

As I have often said, there are concepts most difficult to explain, particularly concerning the nature of consciousness, for often in your frame of reference certain concepts, quite valid, can appear contradictory so that one will seem to invalidate the other.

[...] A large portion of this book will be devoted, of course, to the introduction of concepts that will privately encourage greater productivity and creativity, and therefore automatically contribute to more healthy and sane social ways.

[...] Then Sue got the following as a concept in both Sumari and English at once. [...]

[...] Jane initiates information on “world views,” with examples: Seth defines that concept as “the view of reality” held in the immortal mind of each of us, the “living picture” that exists outside of time or space, and that can be perceived by others. [...]

[...] For instance, he lets his ideas about reincarnation and counterparts lead into another main concept — that of the “families of consciousness,” as he calls them. [...]

The idea of the sinful self will not be predominant in our own book, but we certainly will delve into the many unfavorable concepts that are held by the various religions — concepts that certainly make many people feel that the self is indeed sinful rather than blessed.

Reincarnational influences are not nearly as rigid as many believers in the concept think. [...]

[...] There are, in fact, so many distorted ideas connected with the concept of reincarnation in general, that I think it far better to simply concentrate upon the idea of multiple existences. [...]

[...] Most churches preach a dogma that stresses concepts of the sinful self, and sees man as a creature contaminated by original sin even before birth.

[...] Unfortunately such concepts are also reflected in fields of psychology, particularly in Freudianism — where, say, slips of the tongue may betray the self’s hidden, nefarious true desires.

[...] Before long physical data bears out the negative belief; negative in that it is far less desirable than a concept of health.

If you are focusing upon ideas of poverty, illness or lack, for example, your conscious mind also holds latently concepts of health, vigor and abundance. [...]

[...] It has to be broken down, particularly to a time frame, and then into concepts that can take advantage of the world view that is held in your culture. [...]

[...] To me, that is exceedingly simple — but as far as your concepts are concerned, it can seem to imply irreconcilable complications.

[...] Indeed, in some of her earliest poetry we found concepts that Seth was to elaborate upon many years later. [...]

[...] These are of course imaginary, but the image will help you understand the concept. [...]

The psychic intensity of an experience shatters all concepts of time. [...]

[...] (Pause.) You agree upon your time concepts—they are like gentlemen’s agreements. [...]

[...] The meaning of the experience is stated in the final part of the session, so there is no need to go into it here; suffice it to say that the experience had a meaning, was not random but highly selective, and would be listed in our classification as “experiencing a concept.” [...]

[...] Then more sensations; or rather, again I felt sensations that were concepts translated into feeling rather than words; but feelings and images. [...]

[...] Measured purely in terms of your camouflage conceptions, many things which you know to exist would seem not to exist.

[...] In value they can be said to expand, yet this very real intensity or value expansion of a feeling takes up no more additional space than it did at its conception.

Your idea of space is some completely erroneous conception of an emptiness to be filled. [...]

[...] They can feel the content and validity of a concept, where the brain itself may fall short. [...]

We will initiate a thorough study of the God concept, which will be begun the next time these friends are present, and will be continued when they visit us at other sessions. That is, whenever they attend a session for a while we will concern ourselves with the God concept and all of its implications.

[...] I am always glad to see our Jesuit, and we shall certainly discuss the God concept for him, tonight or during another session.

(Seth has actually dealt with the God concept fairly often. [...]

—I will now, since I too know your conception of the time, leave. [...]

[...] This fifth sense differs from the fourth [conceptual sense] in that it does not involve cognition of a concept. [...]

[...] There are people that you would not share your living room with who do not consider themselves avant-garde or open-minded, who do not understand concepts and are not equipped to intellectualize, but people who feel their own feelings with exaltation and joy and recognize their own identities because of this, and who are, therefore, open to the feelings of others and able to relate to them. [...] And you cannot use symbols or concepts. [...]

Concepts are extremely important and we will never leave them aside in class, but you must learn to experience a concept, and in order to do so, you must realize the importance of your own inner experience. [...]
