“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

My life is its own definition.
So is yours.
Let us leave the priests
to their hells and heavens,
and confine
the scientists
to their dying universe,
with its
accidentally created stars.
Let us each dare
to open our dream’s door,
and explore
the unofficial thresholds,
where we begin.

[...] It is even safe to explore that nature, and it is safe to allow himself to take some comfort in the source of being. [...]

[...] That is, think of that childish self as eagerly exploring the world, for that is certainly a part of man’s heritage. [...]

[...] (Pause.) What you are dealing with, then, in creativity is a continuing kind of psychic play, an activity that probes into the nature of inner reality and explores it with as much sheer vitality as that with which the child explores physical reality. The child runs, falls down, skips, spins, climbs, swings, tries out its body in as many ways as possible, and naturally explores the body’s relationship with its environment. Then the child explores the environment itself. [...]

Now these root agreements will only confuse you in your inner explorations. [...]

[...] The intuitive portions of the personality are not so formed, and these will operate to your advantage in any inner exploration. [...]

[...] They are actually rather rigid limiting devices, yet in many inner explorations you will automatically translate experience into terms that the senses can use.

Section 4: Explorations. [...]

[...] The entire episode is presented in an appendix in Section 4. In another appendix I explore the relationship between Jane and Seth, using many quotes from previously unpublished sessions.

[...] But each self must go its own way and develop its own abilities and explore the possibilities which it creates itself, otherwise the whole would stagnate.

[...] Infinity has to do with value fulfillment, and the unfoldings of ever new possibilities, the exploration of moment points, the traveling through dimensions that ever creates the illusion of time. [...]

[...] Pretend that in an exploration during a projection you found yourself beside a tree. [...]

[...] As a young mean, Nearing, as he told you, was aware of spiritualism, and of those very aspects that were so explored by James, and he was fascinated. [...] Americans would explore the spiritual world as they pioneered the physical continent.

As he grew older, however, he remembered more and more that scent of spiritual exploration, the encounters with spiritualism, and he began to wonder if after all it were possible that spiritual nourishment of itself would better man’s state. [...]

So if Jane undergoes illness in this reality, in another she does not—but in between those extremes she also explores all stages of her illness in a series of probable universes, flashing among them in “no time at all,” basically…. [...] And although Seth hasn’t said so yet (that I remember), I also think that within the spontaneous plan of probable realities each of us—anyone, that is—explores all aspects of sexuality and parenthood at the same time.

[...] The chances here for exploration are very extensive, of course. [...]

He tells us that our reincarnational selves explore the past, present, and future—but basically all at once, since time as he defines it is simultaneous. [...]

You must therefore explore the psyche, the living consciousness. [...]

[...] This presupposes, however, an understanding of the inner self and an exploration into the unknown reality of the individual psyche.

Dictation: To some extent, each individual who wants to can become aware of the “unknown” reality — can become his or her own dream-art scientist, mental physicist, or complete physician, and begin to explore those lands of the psyche that are the real frontier.

As I finish this note—and Dreams—I believe it quite safe to predict that whenever this book is published the reader will find that the general situation in the Middle East is essentially the same: The consciousnesses of the countries involved, then, will continue to resist all outside overtures to “sanity” that do not help perpetuate the exploration of their long-term goals. [...] There are endless variations of peace to be ultimately explored, to be held in delicious abeyance, to be savored by each consciousness there, no matter how great or small, like the knowledge of a fine wine or a rich dessert still to come….

According to Seth, and Jane’s and my own experiences, each individual is a member of a group of “counterparts”—each is psychically connected to other men and women alive on earth now, in various countries, who are exploring related lifetime themes in ways that no individual could ever do. [...]

[...] (Such associations also apply to large geological and geographical events, for example, and I wish I had the time and space to go into those!) But if Jane and I, say, as counterparts are exploring certain long-range connections through our own adventures in consciousness, then the consciousnesses of related major events must have much greater abilities and desires for fulfillment. [...]

(3:34.) The species is filled with a powerful sense of curiosity and wonder, and the need for exploration and discovery, so that even a man born as a king through several lives would find himself bored and determined to seek out a different or opposite experience.

[...] In fact, many fetuses explore that element of existence numberless times before deciding to go on still further, and emerge normally from the womb.

[...] Now explorers must keep records, and you are all explorers, and we draw our black sheep of the universe from all directions. [...]

[...] Alterations of consciousness, or attempts on the part of the individual to explore the inner self, may then easily display glimpses of a kind of sexuality that can appear to be deviant or unnatural.

Even when social scientists or biologists explore human sexuality, they do so from the framework of sexuality as it appears in your world. [...]

[...] Therefore, explore yourself with joy and understanding. [...]

[...] The reasoning qualities of the mind are directed away from any exploration that might bring about any acceptable scientific evidence for such values, therefore. [...]

[...] The true motion of the species, however, has always been psychological, or psychic if you prefer, involving the exploration of ideas. [...]

[...] But there are many ramifications here, and it’s obvious that studying the Seth material is hardly the only way to explore reality. [...]

[...] Your explorations are simply carrying you further afield, and there are manipulations to make before your signal is as strong as it can be.

I can of course alter coordinates and experience concepts directly, but your system is not one that I have explored with any real attention. [...]

[...] He is actually cutting through several systems, but has no freedom to explore them horizontally. [...]

Exploration of the Interior Universe

[...] But this is only a portion of any real exploration of dream reality.

If we ever hope to “map” the dreamscape, we need a million trained dreamers: a million individuals trained to use dreams as vehicles and then, courageously, to leave them to explore the environment in which they find themselves. [...]

[...] This leads to explorations mentioned earlier in this book, into probabilities. [...]

In like manner you explore the mental and feeling aspects, then you turn your attention “outward,” toward the environment that results from this alternate present. [...]

[...] This state can be used to explore the past in your terms of reference, within the probable system that you know.

All animal gods hint of various experiments and species in which consciousness took different forms, in which the birth of egotistical awareness as you know it tried several areas of exploration. [...]

[...] There were innumerable considerations, innumerable experiments, with size, brain capacity, neurological structure, and with a kind of consciousness flexible enough to change with its environment, and also vigorous enough to explore and alter that environment. [...]

[...] Even within that statement there must be room for growth and accomplishment, “to explore the nature of reality.”

[...] Where does such an exploration begin or end? [...]

[...] That is his primary, most proficient area of exploration and accomplishment. [...]
