“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Those opportunities involved emotional understanding, a very close and emotional contact with a particular belief system, and a firsthand view of a certain kind of reality structure. [...]

[...] She lived in a relatively tumultuous emotional climate, provided with one kind of emotional excitement or another all the while. [...]

[...] It was also true that on other occasions his mother apologized for such statements—but the statements of course were highly charged and emotional, while the apologies were relatively prosaic. [...]

[...] On the other hand, for the time being he had a very secure belief system against which for quite a full number of years he could test his own mental, emotional and spiritual vigor. [...]

[...] You relate to other people, as you know, and they respond to your emotional warmth. [...] You are strong, emotionally. For the same reason, however, watch your material for you will often emotionally read into it what is not there. [...] They are very strong, but you can have a tendency to emotionally color material that is not personally related to others, so simply watch yourself in that respect, that is all. [...]

[...] I would like you, however, to realize the strong emotional content within your own mind and you in yours. [...] If you have a strong emotional feeling of this nature, then ask yourself for the reason behind it. [...]

[...] There are always obvious reasons that you can point to, but the emotional charge that exists within you on these issues is highly important and should be examined and investigated by you in the same way, you see, that you would investigate it if you saw it in someone else. [...]

[...] Now you are deceptive, slyly, in your own manner, to yourself, for it seems to you that you are very aware of your emotions, and that they are clear and out in front of you, and that you are an emotional person, and yet you hide them deeply and the emotions that you show are not the emotions often that you feel. [...]

Now many in this class have been involved in many other sorts of a highly emotional nature, and so some of them are welded together in a certain way. [...]

You are in a trance state now, and you have all hypnotized yourselves into believing that this is the only reality and your constant suggestions continue the emotion, and that is the basis of your physical reality. [...]

[...] You are not your emotions. You have emotions. You have thoughts as you have eggs for breakfast, but you are not the eggs, and you are not your emotions. You are as independent of your thoughts and emotions as you are of the bacon and eggs. You use the bacon and eggs in your physical composition, and you use your thoughts and emotions in your mental composition. [...] Then do not identify with your thoughts and emotions. When you set up barriers and doors, then you enclose emotions within you ... [...]

[...] “Emotions flow through you like storm clouds or blue skies, and you should be open to them and react to them,” Seth said. “You are not your emotions. [...] It is only when you try to deny your emotions that they become dangerous.”

[...] We have put his concepts to work in our own lives, and sometimes both of us wonder how we managed daily life before we understood the close relationship between thoughts, emotions, and health.

Emotionally, she went from exaggerated heights to exaggerated lows. [...]

[...] You would be more emotionally demonstrative, freed from your job. His work would bear more and more the burden of his needs, and take up the emotional slack that was now apparent. [...]

[...] Sumari, and even Oversoul Seven, sprang into being as a result of the emotional rapport that existed between you just prior. [...] Ruburt was encouraged to express his feeling, and emotionally. [...]

[...] When Ruburt had outside jobs he used encounters with others to take up the slack that existed between his emotional nature and your own. [...]

The symptoms were obviously a result of inner attitudes, and also besides that a physical way of asking for physical action, attention, and emotional action and attention. [...]

[...] (A point with which I can disagree.) Now you are dealing, through your creative endeavors, aside even from the psychic work, with highly subjective material; many people are completely unaware for great periods of time of their own mental and emotional states. [...]

[...] He led a very active physical life however, and to some degree then could work off some of the emotional feelings that were repressed. [...]

[...] There are cycles, highly individualistic, of emotional moods. [...]

[...] Some change within a stable framework is really your answer, with adequate and emotional communication.

[...] For his own development he chose to make up, because of a past lack of sensitivity, because of a certain exhilaration felt in those days in cruelty, and because in those days his emotions held no sway, but what he considered cold reason led him on. But this reasoning, divorced from emotions led him into his own betrayal.

[...] We see that balances have been made here, we see the emotions having stronger bearing upon the personality. [...] As once he would not trust the emotions and does not trust his reason, this being an attempt to compensate. [...]

Our material has been excellent, but I have missed the emotional contact. [...]

In the way that I have mentioned earlier, in that the emotional atmosphere, the psychological climate, is coming through once again, and we will be clearer.

[...] And any reality to you, at this time, involves emotional awareness and gradations of it. And so, you cannot ignore your own emotions or the emotions of others in the room and expect to use your abilities. [...]

[...] The inner self is quite strong enough to face your own emotions and the emotions of others. [...]

[...] He has the feeling, I will not say he has been given the feeling, but he has it, that his father demands a strong emotional attachment on his part and deep loyalty, and he relates strongly to him for this reason, but when the father is absent then he experiences hesitation. [...]

[...] You should particularly make sure that you allow him psychic freedom and not emotionally bind him. [...]

(In an emotional way Jane also expressed some fears about her mother. [...] Jane did express herself with emotion. [...]

[...] They must be discussed by both of you with emotional interplay allowed for, emotional release.

[...] The fears must be consciously recognized, emotionally felt, and then discussed or cleared away.

[...] Less emotion should be felt at each time. [...]

The emotions come closer than anything else to the vividness of inner data. [...] However because of the intense quality of emotional experience this is still a good comparison. With the emotions however, there is in many cases a stimulus to action in the outside camouflage pattern.

Your scientists with their instruments have succeeded in inducing the emotions of fear, sorrow, and so forth in some operations, but the experience itself remains subjective and psychological. Some physical effects, and again even these are secondary effects, may be observed as far as the emotions are concerned, in that pulses may quicken, certain chemicals and hormones may quicken their activity.

At the furthest end they become the emotions, and these emotions therefore are also a connective. [...]

The emotions belong to the personality, that is to the present personality, and are strongly connected both to the conscious ego and to the inner self, which is so often ignored. [...]

Before you can be allowed into systems of reality that are more extensive and open, you must first learn to handle energy, and see, through physical materializations, the concrete result of thought and emotion. As a child forms mud pies from dirt, so you form your civilization out of thoughts and emotions, and then see what you have created, and you must deal with it on its terms.

[...] Thoughts and emotions form the basis. [...]

[...] In other more advanced systems, thoughts and emotions are automatically and immediately translated into action, into camouflage, into whatever approximation of matter there exists. [...]

You are dealing with the transformation of emotional energy into action and form. [...]

[...] Needless to say, emotional impetus was at the base of success at both occasions; and lack of emotional impetus was the main reason for your failure when the both of you tried to move the ring, using your psychic energies the other evening.

Because his conscious desire was based strongly upon inner emotional need, and not opposed to it, and because the emotional need at that time was powerful, that is his need to leave on vacation, and because he remembered our discussion on expectation, he was able to utilize both conscious and unconscious energies. [...]

[...] Two, sufficient emotional impetus must be discharged, and this will be on or from subconscious levels. [...]

Conscious desire to achieve a given end may represent only a superficial, culturally-adopted wish, that may even be directly opposed to the emotionally-charged desires and expectations of the inner self.

[...] It chose a parent whose emotions were highly unrestrained, so that the parent’s action could serve as a constant reminder of its own flamboyant emotions.

[...] He was open-hearted, rather childishly vain, the emotional pattern quickly moving from joy to tears.

[...] In this life until very recently the personality has been involved with highly charged, volatile emotional personalities. [...]

In so doing he learned to understand his own emotional nature, how to direct its energies, and how to use it as a source of creativity and psychic and spiritual accomplishment.

[...] I have told you that emotions also possess an electrical reality. Thoughts formed and sent out within the impulse range of emotion often succeed because of the peculiar nature of emotional electrical impulses themselves. [...] For reasons that we will not discuss, this evening, thoughts formed under a strong emotional impetus will carry greater vividness, have a greater tendency toward duplication, and are apt to be interpreted with some success.

Also, all individuals have had familiarity with emotions, as they exist within electrical intensities, and are accustomed to reacting to them. [...]

The overly conscientious self is also deeply emotional, though in Ruburt it often hides under the guise of intellectualism. In one way the spontaneous self used the church as long as it could, as an outlet for its own rich emotional extension. [...]

The overly conscientious self is afraid of emotion and display, and hence quite terrified of any ideas of communicating with survival personalities. [...]

[...] Both sides brought to bear emotional issues from the past that served to illustrate or strengthen their own position, so that Ruburt was pulled willy-nilly.

[...] This affected the spontaneity of our sessions, and serves to explain the intense emotional climate that pervaded concerning both Fell and the issue of going to work. [...]

[...] There are other portions of your reality also formed by your thoughts and emotions however, that are not so obvious to you. [...] I am referring to what you may call freewheeling energy that you release filled with your own intent and emotional coloration which has a reality in other spheres beside your own. [...]

But energy forms depend upon strong, very powerful concentrations of energy whether thought or emotion is involved. [...]

[...] I want you then to have an emotional experience in which if even only for a moment, you experience the fullness and vitality of your own nature and of your own identity. [...]

[...] You will not pursue any such possibilities, you will not complete the bridge unless your own emotional feelings are calm. [...] (Smile.) There are emotional components, sometimes at balance, often not at balance, in any personality as you think of personality. [...] This shifts and changes the emotional reality of you both. [...]

[...] (To Eve:) Your emotional comfort is and should be important to our Aerofranz. No development would occur, or should, unless the emotional climate that involves both of you were ready for such a development. [...]

Now: In your marriage and relationship your whole emotional climate has turned direction. [...] So that in any psychic development or work that you do, you do not only have your own emotional strength or current, but another with you. [...]

[...] The bridge is a living psychological bridge because in this type of communication feelings and emotions are involved. [...]

(“Many of those old beliefs still have an emotional hold, however, and some helpful beliefs have also been overdone, or carried on too long. Because you can see so clearly the failings of your age, you each have a tendency to exaggerate them, or rather to concentrate upon them, so that you do not have an emotional feeling of safety. [...]

[...] It seldom occurs to you that the feelings themselves might be primary, and that the particular event was somehow a response to your emotions, rather than the other way around. [...]

Even those of you who intellectually agree that you form your own reality find it difficult to accept emotionally in certain areas. [...]

[...] You were able to do something few people can: leap intuitively and mentally above your own period — to discard intellectually and mentally, and sometimes emotionally, the shortsighted, unfortunate religious, scientific, and social beliefs of your fellows.

The inhibition of such emotions also interferes with the nervous system and its therapeutic devices. These repressed emotions, and the whole charge behind such distorted concepts about the unconscious, result in a projection outward upon others. In your individual area there will be persons upon whom you will project all of those charged, frightening emotions or characteristics. [...]

[...] You do not have energy dammed up through repressions, for example, and emotions and their expression are not feared.

In your present system of beliefs, and with the dubious light in which the unconscious is considered, a fear of the emotions is often generated. [...]

[...] At the same time all of those flamboyant, creative, spontaneous, emotional surges that emerge normally from the unconscious become feared and projected outward, then, upon enemies, other races and creeds.

On the other hand there are those who stress the great value of the inner self, the emotional being, at the expense of the conscious mind. [...]

Your beliefs automatically attract the appropriate emotions. [...]

Emotion and imagination are being considered as far superior. [...]

The imaginative events generate appropriate emotions, which automatically bring about hormonal¹ changes in your body or affect your behavior with others, or cause you to interpret events always in the light of your beliefs. [...]
