“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I have told you time and time again, in class, and I tell you all again—and Ruburt has told you: you form your own reality. You form the world that you know and you form your own images. [...]

[...] That you do create your reality, that you do have the freedom and the joy and the responsibility of forming the physical reality in which you live. [...] Everyone else forms their own physical reality but not me—my reality is caused by heredity or environment. Every other nation, every other people form their own violence and is responsible for their own miserable condition, but my people—they are right! [...]

Each consciousness, regardless of its physical form, is filled with creativity and joy and possibilities—each is unique. [...]

[...] When you realize and accept the fact that you form your physical reality, you can change it instantly—and that is your freedom. [...]

[...] Magnetic structures are formed. They are created on a physical level through certain activations of the nerves in which the normal patterns are jumped, so to speak, and images are formed. [...] These are all assembled and used to form the larger picture of the body’s condition.

[...] The stuff of the internal organs changes and yet they always retain their form. [...]

[...] In your terms this is your working material, the memory of your physical being since the time of its conception in corporeal form. [...]

[...] It does not feel less or diminished when a cell dies, for it is also in the process of forming a new one.

[...] He dreamed how to use his tongue to form the words. In his dreams he practiced stringing the words together to form their meanings, so that finally he could consciously begin a sentence without actually knowing how it was begun, yet in the faith that he could and would complete it.

[...] It was indeed a dreamlike world, but a highly charming and vital one, in which dreaming imaginations played rambunctiously with all the probabilities entailed in this new venture: imagining the various forms of language and communication possible, spinning great dream tales of future civilizations replete with their own built-in histories—building, because they were now allied with time, mental edifices that automatically created pasts as well as futures.

These ancient dreams were shared to some extent by each consciousness that was embarked upon the earthly venture, so that creatures and environment together formed great environmental realities. [...]

[...] He was aware of himself in a different way, so that, for example, his identification with the self did not stop where his skin stopped: He could follow it outward into the space about his form, and feel it merge with the atmosphere with a primal sense-experience that you have forgotten.

There are to all forms of meditation as there are to all forms of activity. [...]

([Ron:] “All forms of activity or all forms of meditation?”)

[...] To life as it shows itself in many forms, not to the word life. [...]

[...] Feelings of energy form the inner self were then allowed to bubble up and give you a sense of energy and a release from normal pressures. [...]

[...] You can build form or a structure with lines, or a face, and leave it and wait for the emotion to fill it up, and then quickly with a touch here and there bring out that which has appeared, the movement that was within the form, that you barely sensed. Or you can perceive the movement, the emotion and the power first, and then paint the form that grows about it to form it. [...]

Sorrow or fear obviously show different faces—not only (long pause), the anatomy and the structure [that] forms the living face, but the emotions within that give the muscles and the structures meaning, and that play upon them. You want the force that feels the form and so the figure must indeed dominate the painting, as the force within must fill and move within the figure itself. [...]

Between those extremes of terror and intense joy however, where the intensity itself can almost form the same sort of grimace, there are infinite varieties of emotions, these being reflected in every minute shadow and gesture.

The painting itself, and any painting, rises out of the empty board through the force of your own emotions, and the board becomes the focal point that collects, draws together and directs the energy from your inner self, into form.

Form of any kind, and there is form within dream reality, form is first of all a potential form, existing within psychic energy. The potential form therefore exists long before it’s physical materialization, as far as your physical perceptions are concerned.

[...] There is a psychic structure also that has a form. [...] On occasion you travel in this form.

[...] You will be forming new gestalts of experience, using past, present and future as a painter chooses his colors, combining them into various paintings.

[...] Such a house however does have form, and does exist within the spacious present.

[...] Events are formed automatically. They are formed, however, in response to your own conscious intents, and of those materials that you supply to the inner wonderworks.

It is at first appalling to discover that the negative as well as the positive events are formed at automatic levels, but in response to your expectations and beliefs. [...] They will always form part of the fabric of your existence in this life. [...]

[...] On the one hand you “believe” that you form your own reality, and on the other you believe that things will most likely go wrong unless you do something to stop them; and this is the most conventional world view that forms the experience of, say, the newspaper world.

[...] You might say that perceivable events are composed of a conglomeration of certain levels of consciousness tuned in to form an event, say, instead of an object.

Your weather indeed can be with some truth compared to loosely formed, mainly unconstructed energy, in many ways unbridled and uncontrolled by strong centralization of either subconscious or conscious control. [...] On your plane you are in closed space, so to speak, physical elements formed into a purposeful gestalt.

Those that do not presently combine to form a complicated strong identity-pattern (hyphen) nevertheless still maintain the need for value fulfillment. By helping to form into charged emotional patterns, they share in a certain kind of awareness fulfillment otherwise denied to them.

As all living things on your plane cooperate to form your physical universe, so therefore do they cooperate to form not only your weather cycles, but your climate cycles in terms of ice ages and tropical spells.

A dispersion has begun in which the ego will find it more and more difficult to hold energy within forms of personal identity, or to use energy for the purposes of the ego. [...]

[...] If you are speaking about my present form, I can be many forms. That is, within limits I can change my form, but in doing so I do not actually change my form so much as I choose to become part of something else.

My incipient form is a man’s form, if this is what you want to know, but it is not materialized in the same fashion as yours, that is as your form, and I can dematerialize it whenever I choose.

In your York Beach experience had you not been able through your peculiar creative abilities to form those images outside of yourselves, and so endow them with a physical reality, you might very well have instead turned yourself into schizophrenic personalities. [...]

In dreaming, such a dissociated state as Ruburt reached is of course the rule, only here the ability is used to form the dream images. [...]

[...] The mass world is formed as the result of individual impulses. They meet and merge, and form platforms for action.

Ruburt has been reading old poetry of his own, and he was appalled to find such beliefs in rather brutal, concentrated form. [...]

[...] You have denied many impulses, or programmed others so that they are allowed expression in only certain forms of action. [...]

(Pause.) To me, it is almost inconceivable that, from your position, any of you seriously consider that the existence of your exquisite consciousness can possibly be the result of a conglomeration of chemicals and elements thrown together by a universe accidentally formed, and soon to vanish. [...]

(Long pause.) Your consciousness will survive your body’s death, but it will also take on another kind of form—a form that is itself composed of “units of consciousness.” [...]

[...] There was much greater plasticity, motion, variety, give-and-take, as consciousness experimented with its own forms. The species and environment together formed themselves in concert, in glorious combination, so that each fulfilled the requirements of its own existence while adding to the fulfillment of all other portions of physical reality (all very intently, and with many gestures).

[...] [Your] world did not just come together, mindless atoms forming here and there, elements coalescing from brainless gases—nor was the world, again, created by some distant objectified God who created it part by part as in some cosmic assembly line. [...]

The universe formed out of what God is.

[...] The brain is primarily an event-forming psycho-mechanism through which consciousness operates. Its propensity for event-forming is obvious even in young children. [...]

[...] The brain itself is never satisfied with one version of an event, but will always use the imagination to form other versions in an activity quite as spontaneous as play. It also practices forming events as the muscles practice motion.

Children’s dreams are more intense than those of adults because the brain is practicing its event-forming activities. [...]

(9:58.) Mentally it can form an infinite number of events, and consciousness can take an infinite number of roles. [...]

[...] En masse and through the methods I have described, you help form a physical reality in which, however, each experience is unique, period.

In the same way each of you form an overall dream world in which there is some general agreement, comma, but in which each experience is original. [...]

The dream world operates as a creative situation in which probable acts are instantly materialized, laid out in actual or symbolic form. [...]

[...] You are making transitions from the forms that you know, and the forms that you are used to perceiving, so that you can perceive other forms with which you presently are not acquainted. [...]

[...] There are ways and methods by which you form each organism within you and those organisms that you perceive as outside of you. [...] That you form the universe as you know it en masse and individually from the focal point of this moment, from the focus of this moment that all of your selves exist now and are not done and finished anymore than you are done and finished. [...] En masse and individually, as you know, you form the room, the funiture, the time, the setting in which it now seems to you, you exist. [...]

[...] They remembered that they formed physicial reality from the vitality of their own thoughts and fellings and images. [...]

[...] You form the outside. [...]

[...] In all cases consciousness is first, and it forms its physical constructions according to its abilities, first of all forming its own primary construction, and then branching outward, constructing secondary images of other consciousnesses with whom it comes in contact.

[...] Form simply cannot be a characteristic of matter, since matter can be proven to come and go, while form in many cases remains recognizable.

A primary construction is a psychic gestalt, formed into matter by a consciousness of itself. [...]

Consciousness therefore forms the primary construction about itself, not to protect itself from matter but in order to become allied with matter, the consciousness obviously being diffused through the whole physical construction.

[...] We have said that to some degree even atoms and molecules have consciousness, and each one of those minute consciousnesses forms its own dreams, even as on the other hand each one forms its own physical image. Now, as in the physical field individual atoms combine for their own benefit into more complicated structure gestalts, so do they also combine to form such gestalts, though of a somewhat different nature, in the dream world.

[...] These can help you become aware again of those inner idealizations that form your private reality and your mass world. [...]

“I have said that the dream world has its own sort of form and permanence. [...]

[...] It does not exist in bulk, but it does exist in form. [...]

Basically, the psyche is a manifestation of pure energy in a particular form. [...] To understand that, you must realize that pure energy has such transforming pattern-forming propensities that it always appears as its manifestations. [...]

[...] Practically speaking, however, the species accepts certain portions of dream reality as its so-called real events at any particular time, and about those specialized events it forms its “current” civilizations. [...] But in the dream state, then as now, all such issues were contemporary, acting as models from which the species then chose the practical events that formed its physical experience.

It may form particles, but it would be itself whether or not particles existed. [...]

The smallest unit of pure energy, therefore, weighing nothing in your terms, containing within itself no mass, would hold within its own nature the propensity for the creation of matter in all of its forms, the impetus to create all possible universes. [...]

[...] Data, valid data, which is not materialized as physical form, at any given time still exists as potential physical form. Some such data will be materialized in your future, as for example plans existing only in the mind will later be carried out and utilized within physical form.

I spoke briefly of the form that appeared in the mirror. [...] (See the 219th session.) You see you pick up the idea even with that form, then you attempt to translate that data into physical terms. [...] The distortions in all cases form your physical camouflage patterns.

[...] We were manipulating energy, and forming it into pseudomatter. [...]

[...] Now you see the energy does not reside within any given physical object, but in the idea form that is within it. [...]

[...] If you are speaking about my present form, I can be many forms. That is, within limits I can change my form, but in doing so I do not actually change my form as much as I choose to become part of something else.

“My incipient form is a man’s form, if this is what you want to know, but it is not materialized in the same fashion as yours — that is, as your form [is] — and I can dematerialize it whenever I choose. [...]

Within the entire identity there may be, for example, several incipient selves, around whose nuclei the physical personality can form. In many instances one main personality is formed, and the incipient selves are drawn into it so that their abilities and interests become subsidiary, or remain largely latent. [...]

[...] Physically, intent or purpose forms that center, regardless of its reality in terms of energy.
