“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Such an idea is much like some scientific ones, that see the universe running down, [with energy] being dissipated and order gradually disintegrating into chaos. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s idea of actively searching out his usually repressed feelings is excellent.

As you know yourselves, you only accept those suggestions, ideas and hang-ups that suit your purposes at this time. [...]

[...] She had but a vague general idea of the material. [...]

[...] You may have a general idea of what you said. [...]

(Not long ago I reached an impasse with both the Introductory Notes and the Epilogue for Volume 2, as I tried to give order to the mass of notes, excerpts, and jotted-down ideas that I’ve assembled for them since finishing work on Volume 1 in September 1976. [...]

[...] I found it quite difficult to describe to Jane, for I always felt unspoken, unverbalized connotations in the background that, I thought, represented new ideas for both of us. [...]

[...] Western religion and science promote the ideas of competition, effort, the emphasis upon the will, divorced from the imagination, so that to “give up all effort” can be read as an abdication of responsibility, an indication of laziness and sloth; or in fundamental Christian terms, the devil finds work for idle hands.

(But so fearful and reluctant are we to face or to grasp ideas about death that run counter to what we’ve been taught, that we’ll literally do almost anything to ourselves in order to prevent nature’s plan from working in its own natural and creative way. [...]

Consciousness so varies in degree that as yet you have little real idea of its basic unity and of its endless diversity.

Some ideas came to me as I was taking a walk late one evening during the days I worked on this note. [...]

I think the main idea we’re trying to bring to consciousness as a species is that we’ve chosen to move beyond the limits of the ordinary, safe world we’ve always created. [...]

[...] Although Seth hasn’t gone into the idea yet, I believe that events have counterparts also, just as does any “living” organism, whether human or not. [...]

[...] I guess I now think she reacted to my ideas there more than I realized.”)

[...] The religious ideas really took hold, and I think we still only partially understand why.

[...] The form will be produced directly by idea, yet it will be a definite form in objective terms.

(I wanted more data re the car’s trouble and cure, but wasn’t sure it was a good idea to ask Jane more specific questions at this time. [...]

[...] Are these a good idea at this time?” Saratoga Springs is Jane’s home town.)

(It’s interesting to note, however, the way in which Seth “takes off” from material like Jung’s, developing it to include his own ideas and interpretations, as he does in this chapter.

It develops, again, as you know, Joseph and Ruburt, it expands as an idea expands, taking up no space. [...]

The self is limited only by its own idea of limitation.

[...] In the dreaming state, when the ego is released from its idea of time as a series of moments, then other portions of the self can travel through these moment points, and you have here a journey through depths that have nothing to do with your (underline your) concept of time or space.

(Jane had no idea as to why Seth referred to a box again. [...]

[...] Neither of us cared much for the idea. [...]

You have no idea of the temptation on my part to cram you as full as I possibly can, and this is the temptation to which my enthusiastic colleagues often fall prey. [...]
