“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now I would not force you into any state of awareness, far be it from me. You are all in Alpha I, and I did not force you into it. [...]

[...] You take away from your physical system the conscious pressures that you force upon it, and you allow it to rest. [...]

[...] In addition Jane and I, with the Gallaghers, sat in the second row and thus felt the full force of the performance.

[...] It is indeed in the nature of an impetus, an inner impetus that belongs to action, and is not some force separated from action, and acting upon it. [...]

These directions are not forced upon action by any laws. [...]

[...] Iran can “infect” other nations or peoples with an ancient religious force, or consciousness, if allowed to do so. Nuclear power can do the same thing with a new scientific force that can be even more devastating if not carefully “controlled” [in our terms]. [...]

[...] [Islam means “peace,” by the way.] The force of Iran’s upheaval makes the growing Christian fundamentalist movement in the United States seem tame indeed by comparison; therefore I want to concentrate upon the Iranian dilemma rather than the religious conflicts in our own country.

If the hassles surrounding TMI have engendered forces of a scientifically oriented consciousness, then, certainly those in Iran have released a very strong religiously oriented consciousness. [...]

Within the context of Islamic culture, law is intrinsically religious law; there is no real separation of state and church unless by force. [...]

[...] We can only hope for their gradual disappearance, but we cannot force their disappearance. [...]

[...] Also, the inner ego is aware of so-called future decisions not because he forces such decisions upon the outer ego but simply because the future as such does not exist to the inner ego, and therefore he can perceive where the outer ego cannot.

[...] Your outer ego is forced into what could be called successive action, but the inner ego is not so bound. [...]

Because you are forced at this point to perceive actions in a separate and successive fashion you more or less naturally take it for granted that one thing causes another, or that one action could not occur before another that appears to follow it. [...]

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

[...] By limiting many otherwise available perceptions it forces you to focus upon what you can perceive with greater intensity.

[...] The answer of course will be picked up in the same manner, through emotional force. [...] To call this telepathy tells you nothing however, for all such information is the result of emotional force.

Do not attempt to force it to follow preconceived patterns, or insist that it be presented in any given manner. [...]

It carries within it certain propelling forces, possibilities of development, and possibilities of presentation.

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

[...] Joint action seems the only course, but a joint action in which each individual must actually be forced to act, driven by frenzy, or fear or hatred, incensed and provoked, for otherwise the fanatic fears that no action at all will be taken toward “the ideal.”

Women make a grave error when they try to prove their “equality” with men by showing that they can enter the armed forces, or go into combat as well as any man (with more amusement). [...]

[...] Your present father secretly admires Loren’s apparent easy sociability, not knowing that Loren is forced to laugh and shout loudly, just as your father is more or less forced by his own personality to sit silent and sullen.

[...] Force, logic over intuition, for example, or intellect over psychic awareness. [...]

Egotistically he forced other aspects of his personality to accept what they feared. [...]

Even then, however, the subconscious would not be forced too far, and a good deal of the time the sweaters sat in his drawer. [...]

[...] Do not force inner responses. [...]

[...] Or instead, the individual might embark upon a rather heated discussion of police forces in general.

[...] So if he gives in to an impulse to cry then he feels he forces you to behave in a stereotyped male way—in a role you have rejected, and rightly so.

[...] It happens that at the same moment you both strongly wished for the door to open; and with the abilities that you are developing, you brought psychic mass force, which is valid mass force, even in your physical world, against the door and opened it.

(According to Seth then, Jane and I used our combined psychic strength or force to pull the bolt back. [...] If Jane and I used psychic strength to open this door, it can be safely stated that the force required and exerted was considerable.)

(“Were Jane and I on the property when we used this psychic force to open the door?”)

There are few evenings when I have felt so lighthearted, and we will have an evening that will make up for all the heavy-handed sobriety which I am forced to use to get important material through your heads.

[...] Biology has made many strides, but it must finally be concerned with that intangible which is behind all organisms, and it will be forced to the initiation of an entirely new field, along the lines of basic organic psychology. It will be forced to recognize the innate ability of all cells for what we may call telepathy, for there will be no other solution in answering many questions.

[...] All That Is seeks all possible experience, but in such a larger framework in this case that questions of, say, pain or death simply do not apply, though [certainly] they do on the physical level (all quite forcefully).

[...] When you think of power you think of, say, nuclear energy, or solar energy—but power is the creative energy within men’s minds that allows them to use such powers, such energies, such forces.

[...] In their ways, the warden and guards subscribe to the same set of beliefs as that held by their prisoners — the idea of force and power is accentuated on both sides, and each believes the other its enemy.

[...] You are then forced to project these outward upon a physician, a healer, or any outside agency. [...]

[...] The witch doctor, while initiating natural forces on behalf of his patient, who seemed momentarily unable to do so, was then returning the patient to the source of himself and reviving his own buried sense of power. [...]

[...] Actually, our forces hadn’t come close to reaching the prisoners: Responsible were mechanical failures and two dust storms that the American helicopters had to struggle through before joining a group of transport planes at a remote airfield, code-named Desert One, in central Iran. [...]

In just that one area on our globe, then, a group of consciousnesses has chosen to “evolve” into a number of religious and secular forces that are both internal and external as far as national borders go. [...]

[...] The failure of our rescue mission represents another learning step as we grapple with some of the “modern” convolutions of religious and secular forces. [...]

[...] Since they believe so strongly in the power of others, and in their own relative powerlessness, they feel forced into aggressive actions almost as preventative measures against greater violence that will be done against them.
