“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] When the situation allowed him to do so, he immediately began to pare down all activities not directly connected with his work, to shake them off, to force himself to be disciplined, to cut distractions to a minimum and thus avoid conflict, to his way of thinking.

[...] He would force himself into a position where he must indeed make good through his work, financially and otherwise. [...]

[...] He did not: therefore the enforced solitude, the narrowing of other interests until his vitality was forced in one direction, the inner direction. [...]

[...] He would force himself to devote all his energies in that direction, to silence for example any stray temptations to go out into the yard in working time, to visit friends. [...]

[...] One is through the realization that this prime moving force is within everything that you can perceive with your senses. The other method is to realize that this primary motive force has a reality independent of its connection with the world of appearances.

[...] You cannot force them to change their beliefs. [...]

(Long pause.) He felt it his duty to examine his psychic material with supercritical force, since it seemed to come from the other side of consciousness, so to speak, and since it presented such a different picture of all aspects of reality. [...]

(10:12.) In other words, he felt he needed a countering force for his own spontaneity. [...]

[...] The ancient mother-goddess concept became “unconscious”; the male, purposely forgetting the great natural aggressive thrust of birth, took physical aggression and force as his prerogative — for this came to represent the quality of ego consciousness in its need to physically manipulate its environment.

[...] Jane and I also liked the idea that from their earliest times, religious forces had been operating in the development of the species; this seemed to be a very sensible concept — and quite obvious once it was mentioned.

[...] Probable man is emerging now, but also in relationship with his entire natural environment, in which cooperation is a main force. [...]

[...] The idea was that my belief in an extraordinary or supernatural force, working through nature, sustained me as a child. [...]

[...] Pollyanna as it may sound, you must each imagine Ruburt able to navigate, and take it for granted that the rest physically will follow, without trying to force the issue.

[...] You should perhaps realize by now that the inner self, the mind and its components, is composed or forms a unitary force field of its own.

[...] Emanations from this field continue, traveling further, projecting energy that is transformed as you know into matter; and in a simplified version of your universe perceived in terms of such force fields, you would have seemingly endless atoms and molecules spinning about the nucleus, or an endless variety of such patterns that would appear on first appraisal random to an observer from another field.

[...] When the fear is activated it, the fear, drains more energy from the physical construction, contracting, the fear being like a short-circuit mechanism; and indeed definite electrical forces are here activated.

[...] To fear them is to put yourself into their realm of reality, and then you are forced to fight on those terms, and there is no need for this.

[...] You need not force an issue, but remind him of the fact. [...]

[...] You do not have to feel that you have forced Ruburt where he does not want to go, even inadvertently. [...]

[...] Since they are the intuitive force just beyond the range of matter, upon which matter is formed, they will not follow the laws of matter, although at times they may mimic the laws of matter.

It is almost impossible to detect an individual unit, for in its dance of activity it constantly becomes a part of other such units, expanding and contracting, pulsating and changing in intensity, in force, and changing polarity. [...]

[...] Now as you know, you do not perceive the atoms and molecules that swim about the room nor the atoms and molecules that fill this space between our friends, nor the forces—the field forces—that exist. [...]

Now: As you know, you do not perceive the atoms and molecules that swim about the room, nor those that fill the space between our two friends, nor the forces — the field forces — that exist. [...]

[...] People are forced to look beyond their own families, cities, and even countries, to that clearly illuminated arena of the world.

[...] The private consciousness is forced to contend with world events in a way that is completely new in historical terms. [...]

[...] By plunging into our ocean of value climate you can dive beneath your camouflage system and look up to see it, relatively foundationless, floating above you, moved, formed, and directed by the shifting illusions caused by the wind of will, and the force of subconscious concentration and demand.

In the first of those two lives, both of you to some extent tried to enforce your ideas of truth through force, physically. The use of great physical force therefore was used purposely. [...]

[...] The whole world, more or less, was experimenting with the use of brutal force as an accepted method of enforcing ideas. [...]

[...] The point that I want to make here is that any attempt at such duplication actually forces, because of the nature of the attempt, the impulses to line up in a different pattern. [...]

In this case action forces change, and by the very nature of action no such duplications can occur. [...]

[...] In some ways, its living forces and consciousness are kept to a minimum. [...]

[...] Except for the suggestion and stimulus received by regular natural forces on your plane, the plant life does not bestir itself in other directions. [...]

[...] … You have forced it into anxiety so that it overcompensated, trying to protect you, and ended up half choking you to death. [...]

And I was forced to smile back sheepishly. [...]

[...] That Sunday as we were out driving, the idea suddenly struck me that there might be a force coming up from the earth, in opposition to gravity. [...] It could account for the fact that seeds do push up through the earth, not only attracted by the sun but nudged by this force beneath.

[...] You are not forced to perceive action as a series of moments within inner reality, therefore.

[...] By acting in this manner it forces you to focus upon what you can perceive with greater intensity.

It is not bombarded, as with the drug experiments, and forced to experience chaotic and frightening perceptions that can terrify it into complete disorder. [...]

[...] Her delivery had been good, often forceful and somewhat stronger than usual.

Through their work with particle accelerators, or “atom smashers,” physicists have discovered that protons and neutrons themselves are composed of forces and particles that in turn are almost certainly composed of forces and particles, and so on, in an ever-descending scale of smaller and smaller entities and concepts. [...]

[...] What a heretical thought from the scientific viewpoint!) But each atom of whatever element is an amazingly complicated, finely balanced assemblage of forces and particles woven together in exquisite detail—one of the more basic examples of the unending and stupendous creativity, order, and design of nature, or consciousness, or All That Is.

Right now, I feel you and I and the house and the whole bit supported by some great force that swirls around the house and the trees and through my body, so that it circulates through my blood. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Right now I still have the feeling of that force or motion, though, and emotionally I do identify with it. [...]

I think that all art is created at that level—that is, with that sense of support that isn’t our own alone but a part of the great force that sustains all of life. [...]
