“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I am not suggesting that you pretend the symptom does not exist, but that you quite deliberately give yourself constructive suggestion, and turn your attention immediately away quickly to other matters.

[...] Ruburt is now at the stage where he has freed considerable energy, and this must now be utilized in constructive activity, and not to reinforce symptoms.

[...] Comfort him when this is necessary, but the comforting should follow the lines of constructive suggestions: “You will feel better soon.”

[...] It should not involve pity, for this reinforces the symptoms, but should involve a confident assurance, particularly when he is fearful—an encouragement on your part, of constructive activities, a comforting but not overindulgent attitude, you see.

(“When will Jane’s book on idea construction be finished?”)

[...] Physical world is idea construction, as all worlds are.

[...] She began the book on idea construction with an obvious burst of intuition on Sept. [...]

[...] An understanding of the methods used by the dreamer to construct dream images will, however, allow you to understand more clearly those other constructions. [...]

There will be more said concerning this matter, since the same sort of mechanism is involved in the construction of materializations, in sessions such as this one, and in the construction of dream images.

We will go more deeply into a discussion of the ways and means by which both dream images and other materializations are constructed. [...]

[...] Therefore the characteristic ways used by any given personality, in connection with his or her physical image, will also be used in the construction of dream images.

[...] Expectation to a large extent determines the manner in which we will use this energy, and the types of constructions that will be formed. Your friend’s ulcer for example is his problem in its entirety, constructed into the physical matter of his own organism.

Both of these personalities however are basically constructive, creative, and a relationship between the four of you should work out very well, not only on a short-term, but on a long-term basis, with advantages for all.

[...] It will involve perhaps more than anything else the task of slowly changing the focus of his attention and energies, of turning energies that are being used in a self-destructive manner into constructive channels.

Our material concerning the construction of the physical universe and of physical matter in general may now, perhaps, give you an idea of how important suggestion is. [...]

However, with the ego at rest in sleep, the individual often allows communications and dream constructions through — past the ego barrier. [...] The resulting dream will partially break the circle of poor expectations with their shoddy physical constructions and start such an individual along a constructive path. [...]

The dream world has a molecular construction, but this construction takes up no space as you know it. [...]

[...] No energy can be withdrawn, and this includes the energy used in the continuous subconscious construction of the dream world. [...]

[...] You can refer to our previous discussions on the nature of matter to help you understand, but the dream world is not a formless, haphazard semi-construction.

[...] Your personal impulses provide those guidelines by showing you how best to use probabilities so that you fulfill your own potential to greatest advantage — and [in] so doing, provide constructive help to the society at large.

[...] Such people are afraid of making decisions, because they are afraid of their own impulses — and some of them can use meditation to dull their impulses, and actually prevent constructive action.

(9:35.) Impulses arise in a natural, spontaneous, constructive response to the abilities, potentials, and needs of the personality. [...]

[...] I have promised to give you more material dealing with the psychic construction of the entity, and its relationship to its fragments. [...]

When you understand the construction of entities, then you will understand how this can be so. [...]

[...] I will go into the construction of entities later. [...]

[...] Remember your expanding universe theory, but not in terms of space or indeed in terms of time, but in terms of fulfillment of abilities and values that may be constructed upon various levels and in various guises, your present plane of existence being one.

We merely construct imaginary lines to walk upon. So real are the wall constructions of your room that you would freeze in the winter time without them, yet there is no room and no walls. So, in a like manner, the wires that we constructed are real to us in the universe, although … to me, the walls are transparent. So are the wires that we constructed to make our point about the fifth dimension, but for all practical purposes, we must behave as if the wires were there …

Consider, then, a network of wires somewhat like, though different from, Jane’s conception of “Idea Construction” — a maze of interlocking wires endlessly constructed, so that looking through them there would seem to be no beginning or end. [...]

During the rest of that September in 1963, I reread the “Idea Construction” manuscript many times, trying to understand it and hoping to recapture some of the feelings I had had during its delivery. [...]

[...] It wasn’t too difficult to trace most of these to the “Idea Construction” manuscript. [...]

[...] Again, however, Framework 2 is not neutral, but automatically inclined toward what we will here term good or constructive developments. [...] Constructive or “positive” feelings or thoughts are more easily materialized than “negative” ones, because they are in keeping with Framework 2’s characteristics.²

[...] Nor would the constructs of civilization — art, commerce, or even technology — have been possible. [...]

[...] I’m not claiming the dream inspired his material for tonight’s session, or that it was precognitive, in that I’d “picked up” on his subject matter for tonight, and constructed the dream around a portion of it in order to give myself that particular information. [...]

2. I think that tonight, when he started talking about the inclination of Framework 2 toward good or constructive development, Seth began to elaborate a bit on his statement after 9:50 in the last session, when he told us that the universe “is automatically predisposed … toward the creation of ‘good’ events.”

[...] There is a flowing of energy, of psychic energy, from the sitters, that does indeed affect and alter that molecular construction of the table. [...]

[...] A molecular bridge-field is therefore momentarily constructed. [...]

[...] Levitation of a table with this method is possible only when the entire table is drawn into the force field construction.

[...] In some cases survival personalities, with experience, will directly affect matter, both assisting the sensitive and operating independently once the force field has been constructed.

[...] There are indeed portions of dream reality that you yourself may not have constructed, but that are constructed by others. You recall that in physical reality you can only perceive your own constructions, as a rule. [...]

Some dream locations will be of your own construction. Others will be of constructions quite strange to you. [...]

[...] Each of them therefore constructs, you see, the dream location at which they have agreed to meet, a point not thought of by Ruburt’s Mr. Fox.

When you are considering dream reality, it is easier for you to understand that you construct the reality therein. [...]

[...] The physical construction of your universe, as I have said, is carried on by all life, not just human life. Each psychio-physical pattern of existence does its part in continuing the maintenance, and renewing construction, of the physical universe.

Since the conscious ego is composed of the gestalt molecular consciousness, then when it leaves the physical body it takes the molecular consciousness with it, and this molecular consciousness is therefore present to aid in future construction. However, since you must deal with physical laws while dwelling upon the physical plane, you cannot dispense entirely with the physical constructions, but in such extensions of consciousness you must utilize other physical molecules and atoms.

[...] It is the inner ego, and the inner vitality and the inner ego’s determination, along with the cooperation of all the cells that compose the physical body, that enables such a particular structure as the human body to exist as a separate construction, and to maintain the necessary sense of identity.

In actuality, since all atoms and molecules possess the potentiality to form in so many varieties, and since the atoms and molecules possess their own generalized consciousness, there is basically a strong inner cohesion and relationship between all cells and molecules, regardless of their patterned structural formation, and the human structure is connected to all other such psychio-physical constructions.

Now you see, we must turn this energy outward in constructive ways, and in an exuberant fashion.

[...] Without intensive constructive suggestions before sleep the personality shows the status quo relationship of its condition, whatever it is. [...]

Even in sleep then, energy is used constructively. [...]

[...] These were secondary constructions, if you remember the distinction between primary and secondary constructions given earlier.

As you know, you create or construct all physical matter. What you see are your own constructions. [...]

In order to understand my answer it is necessary that our material on the construction of physical matter be understood. [...]

[...] With his help certain portions of energy were used to construct pseudoimages.

There are so many interconnections, and with the construction of the physical universe inward energy was so inventive, that even further possibilities began early to show themselves. Anything constructed, in any field, attains reality.

This inwardness is so adaptive and self-generating, seeking all outlets and possibilities, that it not only in your case formed a physical universe, but found new ways, operating through the new physical universe, to construct an additional field or plane within and completely through, or on the other side of while yet within the physical universe; this being your dream world, which is made possible because of the physical mechanisms and involvements themselves.

In your paintings, Joseph, you attempt to show the inwardness behind the completed physical construction, to hint at the endless nature of the inwardness which is imprisoned briefly in the outwardness.

When Ruburt attempts his paintings he tries to catch the inwardness before its moment of construction, with the form not yet fully in appearance, but between. [...]

[...] In this existence, when you see a picture in your mind, and when there is strong emotion and vivid desire behind it, it will be constructed. [...]

[...] It is the ability to effectively handle energy in a constructive way for your own benefit and the benefit of others. [...]

[...] or should I be seeing that man within a framework of, just as we were talking about health as just being a stepping stone, should I be seeing this man with a viewpoint towards what this can mean for helping other people be part of a constructive arrangement?”)

[...] in which you are unable to utilize energy constructively. [...]

([Theodore: ]“But the point is—I guess the question I’m asking is: Am I really more interested in the certain possibilities of status, and that would not be the positive way of looking at things—or should I be seeing that man within a framework of, just as we were talking about health as just being a stepping stone, should I be seeing this man with a viewpoint towards what this can mean for helping other people be part of a constructive arrangement?”)

[...] It means that you have a block in that particular area in which you are unable to utilize energy constructively. [...]

[...] A person may become so frightened of using his or her own power of choice or action that the construction of an artificial superbeing is created — a seemingly sublime personage who gives orders to the individual involved.

Donald may be so terrified of making choices, so indecisive, that he constructs an imaginary superbeing who orders him to do thus and so. [...]

[...] In such circumstances an individual might then construct an artificial devil or demon who annoys him constantly, and even orders acts of a highly destructive nature.

Concepts, ideas, realized in dreams, have then been constructed physically. Physical constructions and inventions, purely in terms of a new intellectual comprehension of physical matter, have also transformed the nature of the dream universe, and enriched it, adding to the symbolistic freedoms possible there.

[...] Yet, in terms of physical construction this is what you would find, and this, if it were understood, is what is seen in the actual construction of the most minute physical particle under observation in your laboratories.

[...] You construct dreams automatically, so to speak, with one level of your being in the main, whether you wake or sleep, and whether you are aware of the dreams or not. [...]

The physical materialization was so constructed that it resulted in further regeneration of inward energy itself. [...]

The cigarette was your own construction, representing your inner realization that the cigarette-smoking Ruburt was there but not present. [...] You constructed the idea of the cigarette you see. [...]
