[...] If buildings are constructed of bricks quite visible, so mass events are formed by many small, invisible happenings — each, however, fitting together quite precisely in a kind of psychological masonry in which each of you has a mental hand. [...]

[...] The notes were even titled — The Physical Universe as Idea Construction.

The messages seemed to begin where Idea Construction left off, and later Seth said that my expansion of consciousness experience had represented his first attempt at contact. [...]

[...] A man who believes his actions have no value seeks out situations in which he uses his power to act, yet often without worrying about whether the action will have a constructive or negative effect.

[...] Emotions represent, therefore, this vitality before it has been constructed into camouflage.

[...] Although you are both doing ever so much better, nevertheless you have expended much subconscious energy in the recent past, and not in constructive ways. [...]

[...] The inhabitants of any dimension, or whatever makeup, are still whole-self constructions.

With the natural structures formed and maintained, other physical secondary properties, secondary constructions, are projected. [...]

The child can develop excellent abilities, and if your own relationship becomes a constructive one then he will more than learn from your experience. [...]

[...] It will be (in quotes) “constructed” in such a fashion that it allows the exploration of many different levels of reality. [...]

[...] Man learns, you see, that inner reality and outer reality both must be understood and used constructively.

[...] You have grown sophisticated enough to realize that the Devil is a projection of your own psyche, but you have not grown wise enough to learn how to use your creativity constructively.

Following the accident at TMI, and aside from the great fears “generated” by it, a host of problems began accumulating for the nuclear power industry—involving everything from poor plant design (as Seth commented in the 914th session for Chapter 7 of Dreams), to enormous cost overruns and the fear of default on bond issues, shoddy construction and quality control, human and mechanical error, the disposal of radioactive waste, conflicts with antinuclear and environmental groups, arguments over evacuation plans at various nuclear-plant sites, a greatly expanded list of steps (numbering in the thousands) that the NRC is compiling for utilities to take in order to increase the safety of their plants, and even governmental concern over the possible manipulation and falsification of plant safety records.

[...] You will be doing something constructive to bring them about. [...]

[...] We spend more and more time on affairs connected with symptoms, it seems—and those problems, connected with the construction going on in back of the house, where Frank Longwell is building Jane’s writing room in half of the garage, have combined to cut our production a good deal.

[...] I told myself I’d react only to constructive suggestions, but I soon felt knocked down by her interpretation of events. [...]

(Referred to here is Jane’s attempt to write the book, The Physical Universe as Idea Construction, which she struggled with a few weeks before these sessions began on December 2, 1963.)

[...] When the new sensed reality is strong enough to provide not only greater comprehensions but also to construct a new framework, then the old framework is seen as limiting, and discarded.

At the beginning of Appendix 12, see the longer presentation from the 44th session for Seth’s discussion of “the value climate of psychological reality” — the “medium” that spontaneously contains within it all of our camouflage constructions of space, time, growth, and durability. [...]

[...] Torrents of energy, both constructive and aggressive, suddenly are let loose where he works, and woe to all around.
