“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] But it is far more important to understand why you are creating a distortion in physical reality that concerns your own image. [...]

[...] Your economic well-being is also a part of your personal reality. [...]

[...] En masse, your private beliefs form your cultural reality. [...]

[...] Jane was much more willing to attempt the move than I was, but I think we knew all along that beneath our questions and feelings the idea of moving was more like a shared dream, or a probable reality we chose not to explore during our current physical lives. [...]

[...] If you magnify your limitations you create your own prisons. [...]

[...] You never thought that moving could be fun—and that is your reality. No one else created it.

Each person responds far more to the environment, that they also create, than is realized. [...]

[...] Value fulfillment, or the value climate of psychological reality, is the first basic law of the inner universe; Seth presented it in the 45th session in some detail. [...]

[...] It must be clearly understood however that these other portions of the self are incapable of the ego’s intense focus within physical reality. [...]

Two of these statements may appear at first glance to contradict themselves, but you shall shortly see that they do not, and you are left for now with a pretty question: for does the self, or identity, then form the perceptive dimension in which it exists, or is it created by the dimension?

[...] But the important point, if you will forgive a pun, is that these moment points are all intensities, electrical realities, and traveling through such dimensions involves a transformation of energy from one intensity to another. [...]

(9:01.) Ruburt’s intuitions, his nature, his creative abilities, and his intellect, have led him into a study of the nature of reality, as, again, he sought to find a larger framework of reference. [...]

(“Did the Sinful Self have help in creating the symptoms, in other words?”)

In prehistoric times mankind evolved the ego and self-consciousness to help him deal with the camouflage patterns that he had created. [...] The inside senses led him to a reality he could not manipulate as easily as he could a camouflage world, and he feared what he thought of as a loss of mastery.

[...] Your own inner senses will add greater reality than you can imagine at this point.

[...] For one thing, psychological time is so much a part of inner reality that even though your inner self is still connected to the physical body, you are in the dream framework free of some very important physical effects. [...]

[...] And you will discover that inner time is as much a reality as you once thought outer time was. [...]

Again, if the personality is fairly well balanced, then his existence in dream reality will reinforce his physical existence. You are involved in a juggling of realities. [...]

[...] (If you want to believe that Seth is an unconscious production of mine, then you must admit he lends himself rather well to the unconscious purposes of others and possesses a reality to them quite independent of his relationship to me. [...]

[...] They are aware of their own separateness within action and of their reality within it.

A few weeks after the dream, on May 12, 1970, Sue had another therapeutic experience that straddled dreaming and waking reality. [...]

[...] I would go back to painting, try to sell some, and possibly end up with a part-time job for ready money—anything to break the vicious mental pattern of distrust I seem to keep creating. [...]

[...] Part of your personal problem now is because you feel you have cut off the easy flow of creative energy into your painting and into Mass Reality, and even to some extent—on your part, now—because the contracts are unsigned, and the flow in that area momentarily is somewhat impeded. [...]

[...] There is some material of course that I have not given, though I will, because it would seem to you initially that in the light of what is possible, you were doing poorly—where instead in the light of your reality at this time, you are doing well. [...]

Divide your time between Mass Reality if you want to and your painting. [...]

[...] Here aggressive and destructive energies were unconsciously projected outward, given a pseudo-reality and temporary physical validity. [...] According to the extent of physical reality to be achieved, the physical body of the originator transfers or transposes portions of its own chemical structure. [...]

“Your dancing represented the first move away from what those images meant, and violent action was the best thing under the circumstances … a subtle transformation could have taken place in which you and Jane transferred the bulk of your personalities into the fragments you had yourselves created … and from their eyes watched yourselves across the room. [...]

[...] This does not mean that these do not represent symbolic realities.

[...] In many ways it is more true than historic fact, for man himself created that which had not been provided. [...]

[...] The intellectualization of the fears can be a trick to avoid facing their emotional reality, so beware of that.

On the other hand feelings create the physical state. [...]

[...] Any hope we have in all of this is that our new stance will allow us to focus on the good things we have in life, and to create a synthesis of old and new ideas that will result in Jane returning to normal mobility. [...] He also stated that our old frameworks of understanding force us to continue to explore reality for larger definitions. [...]

[...] In them Seth briefly explained how Jane had created her symptoms as protection against the spontaneous self going too far: this fear was the real reason for the symptoms—not, as we usually thought, her fear that she would do other things besides work if she had normal mobility. [...]

[...] My books, however, by their very existence appear in a world that largely does not concern itself with anything but the most surface elements of psychological reality. [...]

[...] That is, they provide you with that larger framework of understanding, for the old frameworks of understanding force you to continue to explore your reality for larger definitions. [...]

[...] I hinted at our last discussion that it is indeed within the ability of the human personality to become aware of other realities while still keeping contact with physical reality. Manipulation in the physical universe is of course a necessity, but there are ways by which the human individual can become aware of other quite valid realities, and still maintain balance and control within his own more usual field of activity.

[...] You have merely turned the focus of your attention into different realities. My attention, and my reality, is mainly focused in another direction.

[...] His attention is momentarily directed toward a different sort of reality. [...] It would be highly difficult to ask a man while he dreamed to prove the physical reality of the bed in which he slept, or the bedside table which was at his head, or to prove the existence of the wooden floor upon which the bed rested. [...]

[...] Nevertheless the fact remains that I am indeed extending myself, and my dear doctor it is science which is not extending itself, and it is science that will not meet reality halfway.

Man’s physical world, with all of its civilizations and cultural aspects, and even with its technologies and sciences, basically represents the species’ innate drive to communicate, to move outward, to create, and to objectify sensed inner realities. [...]

More and more, the quality of your lives is formed through the subjective realities of your feelings and mental constructions. [...]

[...] However, they also continued on the reincarnational level as long as they inhabited physical reality. [...]

In the period that you now think of as the Stone Age, the men you think of as your ancestors, the cavemen, often found shelter not in rough naturally formed caves, but in mechanically created channels that reached behind them, and in the deserted cities in which once the Lumanians dwelled. [...]

[...] The ulcer for example has reality upon many levels, and must be dealt with in a like manner, for it is not enough to handle it even from the viewpoint of the present ego; for indeed causes are involved of which the present ego must necessarily be mainly ignorant. [...]

[...] It is hardly worth it, for the personality must be led to see that it itself has created the ulcer, both psychologically and physically, in most actual terms, and that it itself can indeed cast it out.

[...] And now the ego has the self-created ulcer to blame, and it rejects many foods, for foods are symbolistic of involvement.

When you were both children, to some degree each of you felt that you were different because of your intense subjective activity—and to some extent, and different for both of you—you felt that you had to “fight for” the freedom to pursue subjective reality.

[...] Bates’s book, or rather philosophy, suggesting that the eyes were not made for reading, is an example of a different kind, implying that there were no books when the eye was created—and so therefore it is not natural for the eye to see letters—while it is natural for the eye to see, say, trees. [...]

[...] The Bumbalos, for example, envy you, as do the Gallaghers, but they are afraid of subjective reality. [...]

[...] The creative energies build up their thickly-dimensioned pseudo-realities of pain. For a certain amount of time, according to your condition, they automatically create the patterns of fear that belong to the ego.

[...] Then these materializations of panic and pain play about the physical body, projected by the ego, and steal the powers of the subconscious mind from their natural constructive tasks.… In other words, the ego becomes a tool to disrupt rather than to create.

[...] Both the ego and the intuitions, in performing their functions, obviously create action. [...]

[...] It enables the inner self to manipulate within physical reality. [...]

[...] The candle was some three feet away from her, and well away from any draft possibly created by her breath, for instance.

You must still deal with physical reality, for it is definitely the representation of inner data. [...] I have told you—and incidentally my lovely skeptics I have told you in the past—that you create your own physical environment and universe. [...]

[...] You can indeed learn to perceive reality in other terms, and you are both doing so.

[...] Projections in fact should give you an excellent idea of the reality of reincarnations. [...]

[...] The author, while basically correct, ignores for example the reality of reincarnation; and Ruburt’s protests to the contrary, reincarnation belongs both with metaphysics and psychology, and cannot be ignored.
