“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The outer ego is spoon-fed, being given only those feelings and emotions, only that data, that it can handle. [...]

[...] When it becomes swept up in a strong emotion it seems to lose itself; there is unity, then, but no sense of apartness. [...]

[...] Your dreams, thoughts, and emotions are literally transformed into physical matter purposefully by this inner self.

[...] They (the buildings) are solidfied emotions, solidified subjective states, given physical materialization.

[...] Understanding this is necessary, but if possible in small ways show him that this is not true; for it can amount to an emotional conviction on his part, and an emotional assurance from you will work far faster than the use of words, though both are necessary.

[...] Therefore you can afford to give emotional assurances. [...]

[...] Regardless of his condition, he does offer an emotional bridge to your mother, though he is frightened when he does so.

As you sit reading this book in your present moment of time, you are positioned in the center of a cosmic web of probabilities that is affected by your slightest mental or emotional act.

(Pause at 9:36.) Your thoughts and emotions, therefore, go forth from you not only in all physical directions but in directions that are quite invisible to you, appearing in dimensions that you would not presently understand. [...]

[...] By this I mean energy that appears simultaneously both to you and probable selves in other realities; psychic connections having to do with a uniting, sympathetic, emotional reaction and a connection that shows up very strongly in the dream state.

[...] Now this must be done with great vividness and emotional validity, and many times. [...]

[...] In other words, through emotional transplants rather than physical ones alone. The emotional factors are extremely vital, both in the development and in the healing of all dis-hyphen-eases.

[...] They will be charged with emotional energy according to the individual’s own experience, but they will form the base from which such a dream at that particular level is formed. [...]

Actually, through the generic system each cell possesses capsule comprehension, (pause) that is a certain kind of visualizing, and an emotional charge. [...]

[...] Now, my dear friend Joseph, it is partially because of this that some paintings, you see, generate strong emotional response, and outlast the artist.

Many of those old beliefs, however, still have an emotional hold, and some helpful beliefs have been overdone, or carried on too long. Because you 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.

[...] 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 intuitions are regarded in your society as female—and as a writer he felt he had to guard against female impulses or characteristics —against being too frivolous or emotional.

[...] Ruburt needs solitude, as you do, but also a format of an informal nature, for the emotions of others stimulate his abilities.

[...] The intellect should go hand in hand with the emotions and intuitions, but if it pulls against these too strongly, difficulties can arise when the newly freed consciousness seizes upon its ideas about reality after death, rather than facing the particular reality in which it finds itself. [...]

[...] Now, I have told you that thoughts and emotions form physical reality, and they form after-death experience. [...]

[...] Others have to learn all over again about certain laws of behavior, for they do not realize the creative potency of their thoughts or emotions.

[...] Since the emotions are so important, it is of great benefit if friends are waiting for you. [...]

Now: Dictation: Each individual will have a slightly different definition for “negative” emotions. [...]

Compassion “rose” from the biological structure up to emotional reality. [...]

[...] The birth of compassion then took the place of the animals’ innate knowledge; the biological compassion turned into emotional realization.

The hunter, freed more or less from animal courtesy, would be forced to emotionally identify with his prey. [...]

[...] Her profound emotions still continued, although she had them under control. [...]

Now: Dictation: When you allow your emotions their natural spontaneous flow they will never engulf you, and always return you refreshed to “logical” conscious-mind thought.

[...] The experience was to inform you emotionally and spiritually of the great meaning of each individual, portray the lovely brilliance that is within each human being, and let you know that the integrity of the self and the soul exists beyond the possibility of annihilation, as you yourself will continue to exist regardless of which path you choose to take — dying within two years, or living physically on for many more. [...]

[...] Originally I’d planned to write the standard kind of introduction for Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment. However, as I became involved in describing the complicated, emotionally charged series of events surrounding the hospitalization earlier this year of my wife, Jane Roberts, the material automatically began organizing itself into a series of dated essays. [...]

[...] Those situations might have been too devastating for us otherwise, too emotionally threatening, too charged for us to present them with at least the minimum amount of objectivity required by the written word. [...]

[...] We quickly agreed that we’d been setting up the illness syndrome for years, yet the deep emotional shocks accompanying its physical developments seemed to come at us like attacking dark birds zooming in from another probable reality. [...]

[...] This is at an emotional level, of which of course you do not intellectually approve. [...]

[...] You remembered being in Florida—the tempera episode —when you were supposed to be starting an enterprise with Crowder, and at that particular emotional level it seemed to you that you had made few inroads since —and again, you disapproved. [...]

[...] But when you take stock with the feelings we are describing as the emotional yardsticks, those feelings consider valid only the beliefs that go along with them—a traditional male role: the accumulation of money through traditional means—and they discount as legitimate the accumulation of knowledge or wisdom as a pursuit of life. [...]

Emotional shoddiness upsets you. [...]

[...] … 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 materialization, the concrete result of thought and emotion. As a child forms mud pies from dirt, so you form your civilizations out of thoughts and emotions, and then see what you have created.

I can hear quick emotional objections. [...]

[...] They knew such things weren’t supposed to happen and were afraid that an extrasensory event cast doubts on their own mental or emotional stability.

[...] Your own emotional need would be known to me, however. [...]

Your combined emotional state amounts to an atmosphere, highly charged, through which I must penetrate. [...] It was an emotional shield, and I gave you all the hints I could.

Denied feelings gather emotional impetus, and form emotional storms. [...]

Objects and conditions within the habitual environment become changed with various emotions, to which you can then rather automatically react, without questioning their validity. [...]

[...] You held back in your work, and in selling it, feeling that you must make up—not for Ruburt’s symptoms, but because you felt you were not relating as emotionally as you could, and realizing that this same warmth was necessary to your work.

A good relationship between you frees repressed emotion on both of your parts, which then pours over into your work and illuminates all of your interior and exterior landscapes both symbolically and literally.

There is an emotional bond that is important in the setting up of such contacts, and what is clear in such clairvoyance may take in certain objects or situations that are perceived, not because of their logical cohesion, but events or situations which the emotional bond makes significant.

[...] Even when clairvoyantly-perceived situations appear independent of personal emotional content, it will be found that an intuitional sympathy has been established. The emotions are the extensions of the inner senses, as I have told you–

[...] When no personal emotional bonds are seen to be present, there will be nevertheless an inner psychic sympathy.

[...] All things are known, for in the depths of the inner self emotional sympathy is endless. [...]

[...] You may, therefore, for example, choose to be an intellectual giant in one life and an emotional idiot in order that you can concentrate upon intellectual abilities. Or you may emotionally be extremely mature, and decide not to use your intellect to any great degree so that you can concentrate on emotional reality. [...]

(To Sue.) When you really learn to trust yourself, when you learn emotionally, as well as intellectually, when you learn with your spirit and your gut, then you will learn who you are. [...]

In ordinary terms, however, the dead are not concerned with the living except perhaps in the very earliest phases, when their emotional feelings are connected with those they have left. [...]

[...] Soon I will not feel the need for such feelings for understanding will change my emotional makeup. [...]

[...] I also have the impression that somebody could take me over rather completely, if I’d let them, with some rather emotional stuff; that I’d go through something I don’t particularly want to, full blast.”

(Jane was now more positive and had a rising emotion in her voice; eyes closed during all this: “In fact, Maisie is 21... [...]

(“I don’t know,” Jane said, then suddenly jumped on the couch and threw up her hands, eyes still closed, in the obvious grip of urgent strong emotion: “I don’t know —slam—slam brakes!” Jane cried and yelled out, almost hysterical. [...]

[...] But then another wave of intense emotion swept over her: “Ah, hon... [...]

[...] I do not know if you can perceive the difference in the emotional proximity this evening between us now. And if I do badger Ruburt as I did this evening, it is because I too have an emotional reaction in all of this.

There is an emotional action, Joseph, in this session that is important; for our sessions deal with many layers, and I regret that this one layer is at most times neglected. I am endeavoring to give this evening’s session an emotional gestalt that will be an experience in itself, and in itself a lesson.

(Jane said later that listening to the tape did not “bother” her very much, although she felt some emotional and psychic reaction. [...]

[...] At times the almost deafening power of her voice, and its emotional content, were indeed thrilling. [...]

[...] All of this engendered some emotional reactions, but no tears. [...]

The expression of emotions in itself is an expression of action, of motion. [...]

[...] By all means express your emotions to each other as they naturally occur. [...]

[...] Two: She’d tried to be more like me — cooler, not expressing so many emotions, more in control. [...]

[...] When you think of a scientist, the majority of you will think of a male, an intellectual, an “objective” thinker who takes great pains not to be emotional, or to identify with the subject being examined or studied.

[...] It has divorced knowledge from emotion, understanding from identification, and stressed sexuality over personhood.

[...] Therefore they are more apt to combine reason and emotion, intuitions and intellect, and in so doing invent theories that reconcile previous contradictions. [...]

[...] It not only separates a man from his own intuitions and emotions to some extent, or a woman from her own intellect, but it effectively provides a civilization in which mind and heart, fact and revelation, appear completely divorced. [...]
