“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The Sumari development, along with the experiences connected with The Education of Oversoul 7 and The Nature of Personal Reality, brought up so many questions that I was forced to seek a larger framework in which to understand what was happening. [...]

The message is plain: We are not at the mercy of the subconscious, or helpless before forces that we cannot understand. [...]

(Jane’s voice was somewhat stronger and more forceful than usual, and quite serious.)

[...] Your physical senses force you to perceive action in certain terms, but this is not the nature of action.

[...] 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.

[...] You would not therefore be forced to follow any particular thread in a single-line fashion.

I do feel that part of that enrichment involves a worldwide (and possibly universal) healing action, contributed to by each living form—that here on earth, at least, this vital force of our own creation sustains us in an unending grand synthesis of regeneration. [...]

[...] He was afraid of the cat, considering him wild and caged originally, as his mother had been in his interpretation, so he felt forced to help the cat (who did not have any love for him), as he felt before he had to help his mother—who would kill him if she had the chance.

[...] If you wanted to leave your job badly enough and could not consciously decide to do so, then it would force the situation for you in the most obvious way possible.

[...] We’ll return full force, and no harm is done. [...]

[...] 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.

[...] Indeed it was almost painful, and I would have been forced to call a halt soon in any case. [...]

[...] It fits loosely as a rule, but now she had to force it back on her fourth finger; contrariwise, she then had to wet it to remove it.

[...] When Jane began dictating again she immediately took up with her very energetic and forceful manner. [...]

That is, the life force is constantly renewed by those consciousnesses of which it is formed. The consciousnesses therefore are not simply filled up by a life force which then deserts them to go on its way, for these consciousnesses are themselves portions of the life force, and form its shape, if you will, and continuing existence.

[...] The same sort of error here exists concerning the life force, as I mentioned. You are merged with the life force now, and no one can deny that you are individualistic.

It is one thing to conceive of basic time as being outside of physical time, for the sake of making a point; but it must be realized that Priestley’s time one, while only real to the ego, is nevertheless a part or a materialization that exists within this basic time framework, and the life force is at the same time within as well as without.

It is a mistake to assume that any future or inevitable merging with a life force is ahead of you, in those terms. [...]

[...] Either we grow to a new understanding of the meaningfulness of existence, or we lose much of the force and purpose with which our youth automatically endows us.

[...] That experience, then, led to the sessions and to this book, containing enough energy and motive force not only to change my life but also to affect the experience of others.

[...] (Forcefully in here.) You may complain, to save face, both of you, and only a strong relationship like yours would survive under those conditions.

[...] (Forcefully.)

[...] Close your eyes after having read this chapter to this point, and try to sense within yourself the source of power from which your own breathing and life forces come. [...]

[...] The physical senses actually can be said to create the physical world, in that they force you to perceive an available field of energy in physical terms, and impose a highly specialized pattern upon this field of reality. [...]

[...] You cannot force another person to experience an event he or she rejects. [...]

Physical events imply the collection of basically nonphysical forces into an organization that exists initially outside of the time-space context. [...]

[...] You cannot force an individual to live, nor can you force him to die, through the use of the truth. [...]

[...] The resentment, carried far enough, could affect your work to such a degree that it forced you to leave, which is exactly what one portion of you wants—and that portion does not care how this is done, though it does not want your painting affected.

[...] They seemed charged with a fierce vitality that leads me to consider the ambiguous nature of creativity, for if those ideas and the experience itself initiated a new kind of consciousness in me, they also possessed an explosive force powerful enough to considerably dismantle the previous frameworks of my thoughts and ideas. [...]

Emotions are the driving force that propel ideas into constructions.

[...] They come from subjective rather than objective reality, and, in my case at least, they become objectified, their force propelling them into physical actualization.

[...] A rigid, dogmatic concept of good and evil will force you to perceive physical existence as a battleground of opposing forces, with the poor unwary soul almost as a buffer. [...]

[...] You may be filled with the feeling that you are in the midst of a great cosmic struggle between the forces of good and evil — and indeed, this often represents a valid picture of your own view of the world.

[...] The ulcer is an attempt to force a recognition of unity from the various levels of the self. [...]

This will not happen overnight, but it has already begun; and the forces that are now working toward such a reorganization will suffer, within six months, a seeming downfall from which, however, they will indeed recover.

The recovery process will take a year but the forces then will be very strong, and the reorganization is inevitable.

[...] When a planetary system is disrupted, in many cases entities who are attracted to it or consider it their home, simply change their form, regroup their forces, and—if they consider it worthwhile—put the house back in order. [...]

[...] When the situation does occur, there is always a division of forces, some entities turning to form, and others not entering the process. [...]

[...] An understanding on a more personal level of the forces in their lives that push and pull them in often conflicting directions makes it very difficult to actively blame people for very much on an individual basis....)

[...] They preach of love while allowing any given individual to love no particular person, and by forcing each individual to cut any bonds of love previously established. [...]
