“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

For there, you envision on the one hand the best possible book, content, production, et cetera; and as if to purposefully torment yourself, you also envision the opposing “gross practical product” that could possibly result—a product that would only mock by contrast the ideal that is also so vividly envisioned.

In your mind you creatively envision the ideal—the sanity of some future culture that, hopefully, our work and others will bring about: if not tomorrow, some “time.” On the other hand, you face the evidence of today; almost, though not quite, it seems, the worst picture possible, the antithesis of what is desired. And it seems to you that your money is being used to prolong those conditions.

[...] I still use the visionary technique I came up with when these sessions started: I envision a large sponge with which I go over her entire body, every inch of it, and soak up all the stiffness and pain and immobility. [...]

[...] I envisioned myself returning to the mall again and again to see if I could see the person — and finally I did. [...]

[...] I envisioned the delivery rooms there, and the room where visitors see their babies (I’ve never seen those rooms in “real” life).

[...] I’d envisioned Jane getting back to her room around 11:00, after hydro, but when I got there she said she didn’t get back until almost noon. [...]

(My own activities, then, have aroused in Jane the urge to try the same approach, and I’ve suggested she think of her own women numbers 1 and 2. It seems that she confronts the same basic challenges I do, I told her, so she could delineate the two opposing portions of her personality well enough to understand that many of her cultural beliefs have been imposed upon her natural, spontaneous, free, creative self, and to such an extent that the acquired beliefs have turned into detriments rather than aids, that she envisioned as helping her obtain what she wants in life. [...]

[...] As far as hard facts are concerned, there is no God as mankind has envisioned him, and yet God once existed as mankind now envisions him.

The basic inner universe beneath all camouflage does not have an existence in space at all, as you envision it. Space as you envision it, that is as an emptiness to be filled, is a camouflage.

[...] I told her that I’d never envisioned her showing that kind of interest in my approach to the sessions and books.)

[...] I simply wanted to help Jane, live quietly, and paint with some kind of passion I’d always envisioned but never achieved. [...]

[...] The place that you had envisioned would then attract the form, and it would instantaneously stand there. [...]

[...] Many people want to change the world for the better, but that ideal seems so awe-inspiring that they think they can make no headway unless they perform some great acts of daring or heroism, or envision themselves in some political or religious place of power, or promote an uprising or rebellion. [...]

[...] She finished Chapter 17 today, and wrote in her journal after supper: “Very very very good on Chapter 17—oodles of new insights! Pleased!” She envisions at least another half dozen chapters for the book, but at the same time she’s leaving final decisions up to her creative self. [...]

[...] I don’t envision her seeing a doctor at this time, now. [...]

[...] It is all of you that you perceive, so when you envision other dimensions you are forced to think in terms of observers far above the thread, looking down at it from any given viewpoint.

[...] Overreacting, I envisioned disclaimers showing up in all of the books as they were reprinted. [...]

[...] He sees the psyche experimenting privately with probable actions in the dream state, and envisions humanity’s mass dreams as providing an inner vehicle by which man chooses global events. [...]

Indeed, if after such an enjoyable exercise you look about you and compare what you have envisioned with what you have, then you may feel worse than you did before. [...]

(Because of our changed schedule, Jane had gone to the john only twice by supper time, whereas I’d envisioned at least three visits to that abode for her by now. [...]

[...] The physical planning carried out is in line with the envisioned future, and brings it about. [...]
