“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Though the primary “responsibility” is his, of course, yet each of you in the same fashion “conspired” to explore art, psychic realities, and the search for knowledge together. [...]

[...] Starting with the ego or waking consciousness as the outer self focused toward exterior reality, these states are broad, more like plains to be explored. [...]

[...] Any one of these levels of consciousness can be covered in a twinkling, and no notice taken of it; or, at least theoretically, you could spend a lifetime exploring any given level.

This retreat from pleasure begins to cut down upon normal activity, new encounters, or explorations that might in themselves help relieve the problem by opening up new options. [...]

[...] Luckily, the child usually walks before it is old enough to be taught that impulses are wrong, and luckily the child’s natural impulses toward exploration, growth, fulfillment, action and power are strong enough to give it the necessary springboard before your belief systems begin to erode its confidence. [...]

[...] Each one of us is part of the great mystery of All That Is, then, which we explore together, yet each in our own way.

[...] In a fashion they served as regulators that he felt at one time allowed him to live on an even course, tempering spontaneity or psychic exploration lest it progress too quickly for him to follow, yet also protecting him from other distractions so that he could continue his explorations. [...]

[...] The future was blocked, practically speaking (long pause), to preserve freedom of action and to encourage physical exploration, curiosity, and creativity. With memory, however, mental projections into the future were of course also possible so that man could plan his activities in time, and foresee probable results: “Ghost images” of the future probabilities always acted as mental stimuli for physical explorations in all areas, and of all kinds.

[...] As a race, you are ready to become more aware of your greater reality, however, and to explore its “unknown” aspects. [...]

[...] This is an accomplishment for me, and one I must continue to explore. [...]

[...] I consider myself an exuberant psychological explorer, finding myself, at my own request, happily set adrift among universes, able to shout with a loud hearty voice from the hypothetical shore of one to another, news of what I have found and am still finding.”

[...] It’s explored more fully in the session below, yet I also feel, from the description Jane gave me at the time, that Seth explores the whole thing from a different angle, too.

[...] My question simply wanted to explore the relationship between the onset of symptoms before the psychic work, and the fact that a psychic “failure” had the ability to deepen them. [...]

[...] As Jane herself had done in discussing it, Seth spent much time exploring the second part of the question, relating to Venice’s friend, while not saying anything about the onset of symptoms before the psychic abilities showed themselves.)

[...] It is not a completed or nearly complete subjective universe already there for you to explore. [...]

[...] As you now desire to understand the timeless, infinite dimensions of your own greater existence, so “even now” multitudinous elements of that nonearthly identity just as eagerly explore the dimensions of earthbeing and creaturehood.

[...] There are explorations of emotional content, for example, very difficult to explain, in which intensities of emotion are explored for their own sake, as one might experiment with the values of red or black—not caring what the form of the painting was.

[...] While I did she had some thoughts of her own — that a person can choose illness, for example, in order to explore that reality, and to exert certain effects upon others around the ill person: thoughts I have had many times — my old idea of consciousness getting to know itself in as many ways as possible.

That is, body and mind together explore their new freedom. [...]

[...] In this session Seth referred to Jane’s need for value fulfillment as she explored her psychic gifts. He also stated that our old frameworks of understanding force us to continue to explore reality for larger definitions. All very well, if such explorations can be carried out with a reasonable feeling of safety or protection, evidently, but if that essential ingredient or feeling is missing, then more caution must be used by us—and as I see it, that’s where we stand now. [...]

[...] That is, they provide you with that larger framework of understanding, for the old frameworks of understanding force you to continue to explore your reality for larger definitions. [...]

[...] I may or may not return as I explore those rhythms of which I have spoken. [...]

[...] We may want such records later if either of us does any exploration of or writing about the whole situation. [...]

[...] They only explore the characteristics of an atom as it acts or shows itself within your system. [...]

[...] At once I thought of trying to explore that timelessness in the only way I could as a physical creature—by, contrariwise, taking the time to list a flow of events since she had conceived the poems, putting their creativity into perspective while still feeling it as if it were new. [...]

[...] All three poems, then, are of a piece, in which she explores across time and emotion different facets of a common set of beliefs about friendly psychic colleagues and feelings of safety.
