“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Deliberately he decides to create a sculpture, and automatically focuses his energies in that direction. [...] You form your image constantly; as many of the artistic processes are hidden, so the inner mechanisms by which you create your material self lie beneath the surface of your conscious mind. [...]

[...] Many cease creating their bodies and die at a young age for a great variety of reasons, of course, but some die because they believe that old age is shameful and that only a young body can be beautiful.

[...] [Your] world did not just come together, mindless atoms forming here and there, elements coalescing from brainless gases—nor was the world, again, created by some distant objectified God who created it part by part as in some cosmic assembly line. [...]

[...] There’s no way to assign any reasonably accurate date to when God the Father created all things, as described in Genesis, the first book of the Bible. [...]

(Pause at 9:31.) I said that in your terms (underlined) all universes were created (underlined) simultaneously—at the same time. [...] Also, I use time terms, since you are so used yourselves to that kind of categorizing, so here we will certainly run into our first seeming contradiction (see the last session) — when I say that in the higher order of events all universes, including your own, have their original creations occurring now, with all of their pasts and futures built in, and with all of their scales of time winding ever outward, and all of their appearances of space, galaxies and nebulae, and all of their seeming changes, being instantly and originally created in what you think of as this moment.

In your terms other universes, with all of their own space and time structures, were created simultaneously, and exist simultaneously. [...]

[...] What you now create unconsciously your species will create consciously. [...]

[...] Augustus therefore actually created from himself a position of power from which he could, at least for a while, operate. [...]

[...] (Pause.) If you do not understand that you create your own reality, then you may assign all good results to a personified god, and need the existence of a devil to explain the undesirable reality. [...]

Nevertheless, the actual individual dream world created by each individual will bear a close resemblance to the physical environment which is also created by the individual. [...]

[...] For our visitor’s edification, dreams are created by each individual, and given actual molecular structure and reality, within a different field than the one with which you are usually familiar.

[...] But he will have chosen his solution, and in the physical world an event will shortly occur which will be close to a duplicate to one of those dreams which he has created.

You will see that in the first mentioned examples the effect would be created by man in line with his abilities, and in the latter examples the effects would be created in some instances by what is sometimes called dead matter, but what we know as other forms of consciousness, according to their ability.

Consciousness actually creates these perspectives, in which it can then manifest itself in form. [...]

In all cases however, we would have material structure of one sort or another, created by consciousness according to its ability to perceive, manipulate and construct an inner psychological structure, in this case an idea, into material form.

[...] My wife’s life and work show that we can even create challenges and goals before birth, then in physical life plunge into fulfilling those qualities as we don flesh and clothing and beliefs. Yet what great, unexpected convolutions we can encounter in those challenges we’ve created! [...]

[...] At our ages (52 and 62, Jane and I, respectively), why have we created lives with such nightmarish connotations? [...]

[...] We agree—and that is where Jane and I diverge most sharply from the conventional establishment belief that events happen to people, instead of being created by them.

[...] Yet we’d created it, in ordinary terms. [...] Why did we create it when we couldn’t tolerate many forms of it?

In the same manner, you create your physical image and your world. [...]

[...] If, for example, a letter comes to you bearing good news, and you react to the letter with high spirits, then you should understand that the high spirits existed first, and created the materialization of the letter within the physical systems, through the multilayered and complicated reactions that bind together the physical system.

[...] Consciousness had first to create the void, or the dimension in which the system could exist, and also to endow that void with all the probabilities for development that have come about in your time, and are to come about.

[...] (Pause.) You yourselves through your own mental actions create realities of which you yourselves are unaware, and you give birth to more than physical children.

[...] Rick’s publication of The Early Sessions, then, is a very important advance in the marvelous journey of discovery that, I think, each one of us is inevitably involved in, that each one of us has chosen to create, in whatever way and for whatever purposes.

[...] All have helped create the living psychic reality within which Jane’s and my work has been nurtured and grown. [...]

This however is not their problem, for like all other individuals they perceive a reality that they have created. [...] It is not related to their attitude toward reality as a whole, but it is intimately connected with the reality which they have created. [...]

Any individual reacts to a reality as he perceives it to be, and he perceives it to be since he has himself created it from basic reality. [...]

[...] You give constructions their appearance of continuity by continually creating them in line with your expectations, based upon among other things, previous constructions in the apparent past; and these expectations are the result of psychic communication between yourselves and others, particularly from parents, who give the child his first conceptions of the environment which, indeed, his parents have created.

In all cases constructions will follow the line of expectation, and often a vicious circle is initiated, where the environment created by an individual will then reinforce the very distortive conceptions that caused it to begin with.

The material of the physical universe is created spontaneously and constantly, even as the dream locations in the dream world are so created; and as it is impossible in terms of time as you know it to set a point of beginning in the dream world, so it is impossible to attempt to do the same as far as the physical universe is concerned.

It is basically as meaningless in essence, to ask this kind of question as it would be to pause in the middle of a dream, and wonder when first the dream location was created: To stand facing a dream landscape and wonder at what point in time the rocks had their origin. [...]

If you imagine yourself as a part of energy and a part of All That Is and an identity that forms and creates your body, then you know you create it with each breath that you take. [...]

[...] The journey creates its own destination. [...]

[...] Create your own life now, using your beliefs as an artist uses color. [...]

I close by saying, as I have said before: You are given the gift of the gods; you create your reality according to your beliefs; yours is the creative energy that makes your world; there are no limitations to the self except those you believe in.

You create your life through the inner power of your being (pause), whose source is within you and yet beyond the selves that you know. [...]

[...]  eons ago we helped create as you are now continuing in what you might call dreams our fantasies now do create. [...]

To act in an independent manner, you must begin to initiate action that you want to occur physically (emphatically) by creating it in your own being.

[...] Of course, the wanted result is not yet physical or you would not need to create it, so it does no good to say that your physical experience seems to contradict what you are trying to do.

Religion, having in certain terms created the entire concept, had then to create the idea of redemption to rectify it. [...]

(The whole experience was obviously very therapeutic, and to me it seemed like an excellent sign of encountering beliefs that had helped create her Sinful Self. [...]
