“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Any intense mental act — thought or emotion — will not only be constructed in some physical or pseudophysical manner, but will also bear to some extent the imprint of the personality who originally conceived it.

[...] To help you imagine what I am speaking of, you might think of them as ghost images, or shadow images, though this is only for the sake of analogy — forms, for example, just beneath, that have not emerged completely into physical reality as you know it, but are nevertheless vivid enough to be constructed. [...]

[...] It is nevertheless in a constant state of pulsation, and because of the nature of energy and its construction, the body is actually blinking off and on.

Other portions of yourself, therefore, of which you are not consciously aware, do inhabit what you could call a supersystem of reality in which consciousness learns to handle and perceive much stronger concentrations of energy, and to construct “forms” of a different nature indeed.

[...] In the dream state you learn, among other things, how to construct your own physical reality day by day, just as after death you learn how to construct your next physical lifetime.

In physical life there is a lag between the conception of an idea and its physical construction. [...]

[...] Thoughts and emotions are constructed, again, into reality without the physical time lapse. [...]

These outposts were constructed underground. [...]

[...] It was not practical to construct such tunnels to the many outposts, however, which were fairly small communities and relatively self-supporting; some were a good distance away from the main areas of commerce and activity.

The caves, again, served as doorways opening outward, and often what seemed to be the back of a cave was instead constructed of a material opaque from the outside but transparent from the inside. [...]

I should perhaps mention here that some of the caves, particularly in certain areas of Spain and the Pyrenees, and some earlier ones in Africa, were artificial constructions. [...]

It is vital, then, that any therapist convinces the client that while the superbeing is a self-construction, and/or that the voices are hallucinations — this does not mean that the client is insane.

[...] All of the constructive beliefs mentioned throughout this book should be applied to all of the instances in this chapter. [...]

[...] (Smile, eyes open.) Some beneficial projection is going on here also for a change, as Ruburt psychically projects outward the last of important inner disturbances onto the ghost images, which are then completely, altered into constructive and healthy images.

[...] The writing at night provides constructive outlet, you see, for any lingering conflicts of this nature, and is his way of triumphing over them in work.

[...] Through the writing at night, these issues are turned into constructive endeavors. [...]

[...] Things behave as if the wires and cubes existed, but these were only constructions necessary even to those on my plane. … We construct images consistent with the senses we happen to have. We merely construct imaginary lines to walk upon.

“So real are the wall constructions of your room that you would freeze in winter without them, yet there is no room and there are no walls. So, in a like manner, the wires that we constructed are real, though there are no wires. [...]

“Consider a network of wires, a maze of interlocking wires endlessly constructed so that looking through them there would seem to be no beginning or end. [...]

[...] [See session 472 in Volume 9 of The Early Sessions.] Material on Jane’s symptoms, interior and exterior illness, inner-self constructions and challenges, recognizing problems, etc. [...]

[...] This attitude is a defense mechanism, most understandable, since your plane or field of actuality is so involved in its relationship with material construction. There is a freedom, however, in independence from material construction that inhabitants are familiar with in other actualities.

[...] It is to say that many more factors go into the construction and maintenance of the physical organism than you realize. [...]

The overall pattern of organization in a physical sense must be maintained however, and always under the auspices of the inner self, which is not imprisoned by its construction, although like any good guardian it spends most of its time at home, in maintaining the structure.

[...] All of these parallel or alternate experiences are then used to construct the physical events that you recognize. [...]

[...] When a person constructs various probable realities in the dream state, he or she does so also in this larger context, in which the probable status of the world is known.

[...] Consciousness not focused in cellular construction involves itself with a kind of direct cognition, involving comprehensions that come in a more circular fashion.

[...] If, on the other hand, your feelings and subjective experience are fairly well balanced, fairly optimistic and creative in a constructive manner, then it will seem to you that you have been blessed with unusual luck, for your pleasant suppositions will come to pass so quickly.

[...] Materialization will quickly appear, and potentials therefore for both constructive and destructive elements are high.

(Jane well remembers the evening when she first consciously conceived Idea Construction, and so do I. Checking her manuscripts yields the date of September 10,1963, as when she made her first notes. [...] She then told me about idea construction, which I didn’t go for very much. [...]

Without dreams the outer camouflaged self would lose all touch with inner realities, or would be in danger of thus denying its own heritage; and therefore the physical body is so constructed that excess chemicals must be discharged and transformed into human action, or the physical mechanism would be clogged with poisons.

When I spoke of the fine discrimination used in the construction of a dream, I had reference to the amazing work done by the inner self in the choice of its individualized symbols, which would have meaning to the many and various levels of the subconscious.

It then constructs its dreams in such a way that the symbols within will sift through all areas that are themselves less able to survey large vistas, but whose energies are focused along specific lines.

[...] Very early in our sessions I spoke of primary and secondary constructions. [...]

Dream objects are secondary constructions, but very valid ones. [...]

You are quite aware of these constructions as the inner self keeps track of them. [...]

(“Can the conscientious self construct its own dreams?)

Does it construct some dreams?

It participates in the construction of some dreams having a more or less important role according to some circumstances. [...]

[...] With creative people, however, there are always intrusions, hints or clues from ways of thinking that certainly appear foreign, and creative people use those hints and clues to construct an art, a musical composition or whatever. [...]

You and Ruburt have had the feeling many times — but what we are trying to do is change over completely from one mode of operation to another, and to construct, say, new inner blocks of meaning that will give rise to the next era.

[...] Since action of any kind, being composed of inner vitality, must seek materialization, the dreams become the constructions of that dream universe of which, again, we have spoken. [...] The dream once begun continues, and the dream universe itself forms anew other constructions.

[...] Nevertheless, as you know such materializations hardly all result in the construction of matter.

[...] All molecular constructions exhibit that certain kind of introspective activity, as if the inner working of some giant computer was intimately in touch not only with its own programming and the probabilities connected with it, but with a deep psychological awareness of the activities of the electrons and various visible and invisible particles that form its own physical construction.

[...] He constructs subconsciously, as always, material objects in line with the data that is available to him. It goes without saying then that he helps to construct the clairvoyantly perceived physical event, just as he helps to construct any physical event in the present.

[...] Long ago, primary and secondary constructions were explained. I emphasized that each individual only perceives his own physical constructions.

I have told you that each individual creates physical matter, including objects, that he constructs his own physical image. [...]

(We wondered if Jane’s feeling was due to suggestion. During the week she had been referring to the 68th session as she did some work on the book on the Seth material; these sessions have to do with the construction of physical matter by each individual. [...]

However, with the ego at rest the individual may allow communications and dream constructions through, past the ego barrier, in such a manner that he becomes in some ways free. [...] The resulting dream will then partially break the circle of poor expectations, with their shoddy physical constructions, and start such an individual along a more beneficial path. [...]

[...] In some cases the ego construction may be weak, or incapable of holding its own, in which case the imagination is often said to be too excitable, and to be at fault.

[...] It is not as involved with camouflage constructions as your own universe, and its actions are somewhat limited within its own framework.

The Egyptians then were also helped, and told how to construct the pyramids.

[...] “Something about how they prepared the air first, for the construction of the pyramid. [...]

[...] “And beside that the instruments also set up some kind of extra charge that we don’t understand yet, around objects that were so constructed, like the pyramids,” Jane continued. [...]

[...] “These pyramids were constructed in such a way that they reflect everything else, so that when you look at them you don’t see them as objects. [...]

[...] The ideas, for example, are not directly carried out or fully constructed in a material way.

They are expressed yet they are repressed from, or they are kept from, active complete physical construction by the very act of artistic creation. [...]

[...] The energy then that would be used in complete physical construction of the idea into material form is, rather, transfixed; held, suspended more or less alive, yet incompleted, and therefore in many respects immortal.
