“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Give us a moment.... You both seem informal, yet your informality exists within its own rather formal structure. The places so far have had a certain formality. Within that formality, then, in contrast, you are informal. Development homes also represent, to you both, now, undisciplined, unthinking, sloppy behavior. You disapprove of it.

In formal rooms you use informal decor. In informal rooms you would use a more formal decor. You do not understand your mixtures of order and spontaneity, formality and informality. You do not want to move into an overly friendly neighborhood. Others do. Those houses have not sold because of the very characteristics you found attractive—their relative aloofness, and their aura of apartness.

That house has greater capacity in terms of adding on in the attic. It has its own formality. That formality, oddly enough, will encourage Ruburt’s spontaneity, for he would find it a challenge to work with the house and yet in counterpoint.

The formality of the position of the house upon its hill provides a kind of structure of its own. The same house on low land would not suffice, you see. It is the entire picture that is important. There are good paintings to be found from the house, in terms of landscapes, and natural walks. You would end up, I imagine, tearing down a wall.

The places so far have had a certain formality, within which, in contrast, you are informal. The formality of the position of the house upon its hill provides a structure of its own. [...] You do not understand your own mixtures of order and spontaneity, formality and informality.

[...] Ruburt may find himself furnishing the place more formally than another one, yet the open quality of the air is the kind that you do not hide in.

Again, a formal affair connected here. [...] That is, a formal affair or formal arrangement.

(“That is, a formal affair or formal arrangement.” [...] We believe the formal arrangement here refers to the layout of the display of Story Book Land at Woodbridge, VA. [...]

(“Again, a formal affair connected here.” [...] Jane and I do not know if these affairs were literally formal however.

Many beliefs were originally accepted as a result of such a situation, without any formal induction, but when the circumstances were right. [...]

[...] In formal hypnosis, the hypnotist and the subject play a game. [...]

(Pause.) Formal hypnosis merely brings about an accelerated version of what goes on all the time. [...]

(A note by R.F.B.: Jane had formally ended her ESP classes by March 1975, when we moved from our downtown apartments in Elmira, New York, to the hill house at the edge of the city. [...]

[...] We assume it means you have done all your work and are now just waiting for formalities, etc., re that great day! [...]

[...] In periods of concentrated focus, with all distractions cut out, the desired ideas are then implanted (in formal hypnosis). [...]

In formal hypnosis you make an agreement with the hypnotist: For a while you will accept his ideas about reality instead of your own. [...]

Quite without the context of formal hypnosis, however, the same issues apply. [...]

[...] The remote, cool, high and formal voice had varied little, speaking along at a rather steady pace. [...]

[...] Again without announcement the high formal voice abruptly stopped, and this was the end of the session. [...]

(“A distant connection in the past, with a gathering that was formal, I believe… not certain here… with dancing as at a wedding reception perhaps. [...] This was a formal occasion for which Jane and I were dressed formally, and at the lengthy reception afterwards there was much dancing, etc.

A distant connection in the past, with a gathering that was formal, I believe… not certain here… With dancing (gesture, eyes closed) as at a wedding reception perhaps.

[...] Now when anyone is involved particularly in formal experiments dealing with, say, PK, you run into cross activity in that respect. [...]

[...] In a good variety of cases, however, the formal experiment itself sets up a barrier, for the conscious mind is being asked to cooperate in a venture that it considers nearly an impossibility. [...]

[...] Not formalized. [...] Something ill-defined, not formalized, etc., applies here.

[...] Not formalized. [...]

[...] That is why, now and then, I enjoy sessions on a less formal basis, without your notes. [...]

[...] There are, then, more or less formal psychological arrangements that are used as reference points, or settings. [...]

In rudimentary form children’s dreams also involve mathematical concepts, so that formal mathematical training falls on already fertile ground. [...]

[...] The mother however also overstressed the importance of a formal education as a quite bloodthirsty method of surviving in a hostile world. [...]

[...] The inner self is not so bound to such a formal alignment, and is thus free to travel in ways which the body, because of its formal molecular structure, finds impossible.

[...] “I want to make a formal protest for the record,” she told Mary Jean, “that I wasn’t notified about this.” [...]

It is not at all helpful, as once I told you, to continually refer to Ruburt’s condition as arthritis, with a formal title. [...]

Another formal affair. By this I do not refer to a ball, necessarily, but to a formally-scheduled event where formality rather than informality rules. [...]

[...] The third poem is the only one she formally titled.

Again, a simple thing like formalizing the condition has the tendency to give it a high legitimacy. [...]
