“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The photo idea however is quite legitimate, since a photo can be related to a painting in many ways. The areas on all of the abstracts are of course filled in, and also the abstract foundation of the paintings relates them to the idea of buildings. [...]

[...] All ideas of reality must be glimpsed through the physical net which is the materialized form of these assumptions. [...]

(Jane had no idea as to this building’s location in relation to Dr. Lodico, although of course she has seen it often. [...]

[...] In asking this question I sought to tie the four squares data to that of the geometric shapes, and Seth confirms the idea. [...]

It is only because you are so hypnotized with ideas of beginning and endings that you persist in searching for them in the universe, and you distort data that would otherwise be clear to you. [...] But when you try to relate this idea to the universe as you know it, you find yourself up against a brick wall, for what you seem to see out in the universe is indeed space.

It is of course because of your highly distorted ideas of time that you persist in projecting antiquated concepts of past, present and future outward into explorations of your universe. [...]

[...] She tried tracing out the image on the tabletop with a forefinger, but could get nothing beyond the idea of circles being involved.

[...] If this seems tenuous, we think the idea reinforced by the fact that Jane and me and Aunt Mabel also attended another funeral together—that of Aunt Mabel’s husband, who died several years ago. [...]

(Jane had no idea of the material for the session as time for it approached, but she was not nervous as she was last session. [...]

[...] The ego, you see, has one definition for the self, and its own idea of the limitations of itself.

[...] Telepathy operates within the inner self, within various levels, different levels of the subconscious, where the ideas of separation and limitations of self are not nearly so limiting.

[...] The limited idea of the self held by the ego clouds and distorts the main issue, for the ego is not conscious of the underlying bonds of sympathy that serve to merge, momentarily, the identities involved.

[...] Your idea of action as it occurs within dreams comes closer to the real nature of action than does your idea of muscular force. [...]

[...] She had no idea of the material for the session before she began speaking. [...]

[...] It was as though the idea “came” to her, rather than anything she deliberately dreamed up herself. [...]

In such localities, changes are apt to appear rapidly, for ideas and emotions are propelled into physical actuality with great vigor. Ideas sweep like fire among the people. [...]

[...] Any ideas for good or bad become materialized with such strength, however, that the contradictory feelings of mankind are more apparent near coordination points.

[...] I would like to make the idea clearer. [...]

[...] He wants to study the world and nature, and the nature of men and ideas, and to search from that vantage point for some greater order, and some greater context in which life must reside.

That “work,” however, is in your case the natural gift of the first man described—and he, it seems, must work under the demands of the second man, taking all of his ideas of time, sexual roles, and social demands into consideration. [...]

Moving to this house, (any house),brought those hidden demands into some prominence, and then the second man’s idea of a householder were further laid upon our first man’s shoulders. [...]

[...] On the exterior you broke conventions, but you were still tainted by conventional ideas. [...]

[...] It may not seem so, but only your ideas of time, and not time itself, relatively closes your mind to the idea of a book of your own. [...]

(Jane has been employing to good effect Seth’s suggestion about using the red star, as he gave that idea in the last deleted session. [...]

You had highly conflicting ideas about “the world of working people” and the world of the artist. [...]

[...] It will find its own schedules, but your joint ideas of work hours were meant to fit in with a time-clock puncher’s mentality, and not your own.

[...] It might be a good idea to include this portion of the session with the next regular session.)

[...] He is deeply loyal, even more to ideas than to people, particularly when his need for freedom is respected. [...]

[...] He was also not rigid in his ideas, however, and sensed the importance of the material, and as a young editor impressed his boss by his own enthusiasm. [...]

Ruburt’s own ideas have also changed. [...]

[...] Actually, we’ve been quite aware of the potential of such an idea ever since Seth began that material a year ago.³ After supper this evening we went over the loose-leaf notebook of information Jane has accumulated for The Magical Approach to Reality: A Seth Book, and discussed how she could follow her outline in putting all of that material—on our dreams, psychic events and insights, her poetry and our essays—together with Seth’s private sessions on the magical approach. [...] The more I talked about the idea the better I liked it. [...]

Jane’s idea tonight was to have a session on Dreams only: “I don’t want more private stuff that’ll just make me feel more stupid,” she said. I reminded her that when I refer to her sinful self, I only mean certain groups of ideas that we’ve personified for convenience’s sake.)

“All action is creative and ever-occurring—the only way I can get these ideas across to you. [...]

“Thus far, however, the old habits have returned, and for all of your joint good intents the idea of bringing things to a crisis point is still far less beneficial than it might appear. [...]

[...] Jane said she had no idea of what Seth would talk about. [...]

[...] She was not unduly nervous at the idea of an experiment after our vacation.

[...] As stated I picked the red ribbon used as object from the bed of our cat on about June 20, with little idea of its history. [...]

[...] Jane’s personal idea was that Seth used parallelogram to lead up to the rest of the data here. [...]

[...] I also would greatly like the two of you to remember your own considerable natural creativity, innovative ideas, and usual independence of thought (all amused)—those are your assets. They should be applied with the idea of helping Ruburt to improve.

(Seth’s material earlier this evening, about responsiveness to the world, in whatever form one chose, reminded me of an idea I’d mentioned to Jane last week. [...] The idea involved our concentration for just five minutes a day—say when we lay down for our naps—on sending out suggestions to the effect that we’d hear from people we wanted to hear from, either/or by letter or in person. [...]

[...] Whenever you apply yourself in such ways, you collect data that seems to support your ideas, so that unless efforts are made to change, the picture becomes grossly exaggerated—and to that extent unrealistic.

I am more concerned that the ideas of responsiveness be followed now, and that you apply your feelings of creativity to the situation. [...]

[...] Physically his ideas of motion, however, moved from the house—highly important. [...]

[...] The ideas for Aspects, Politics, and the entire library experience germinated one evening in a flash of inspiration just before the flood (in June 1972).

Ruburt earlier said, before the session, that he suddenly had an idea for a book, called The Beginning. [...]

Now: the idea of a journey is always highly important, symbolically speaking, so that particular mental fantasy is a good one. [...]

In the next chapter, let us consider more closely your ideas about good and evil, the morality of the self, and examine the ways in which your ideas are reflected in your lives.

[...] It seems, perhaps, easier to have no conscious idea of the year or time that death might occur. [...]

When reincarnational studies are embarked upon, on occasion people remember some instance of past-life experience, but conventional ideas of time are so strong that so-called future memory is blacked out.

[...] Religion holds some ideas that are in complete opposition to each other in regard to the nature of suffering in general. [...]

[...] The idea is supposed to be that suffering is good for the soul, is a way of atoning for one’s sins, and in some fashion the implication is made that such suffering in this life will be more than compensated for in heaven.

[...] The idea, of course, is only to integrate the two often opposing points of view, instead of having them in conflict with each other, since, as Seth says, we always have some practical need of Framework 1 activity. [...]

(10:20.) He overspecialized his ideas of creativity, for everything that comes to his attention is grist for the mill. [...]

[...] “I had no idea he was going to do that,”” Jane said, meaning work on the new book. [...]

In his twenties he could well combine the idea of little money with his writing because he realized it might be that kind of profession, but he became frightened as the years passed. [...]

I want it understood that money was not the primary goal, that his early drive to escape his environment was based on the false idea that worth was dependent upon your status. [...]

[...] Carried too far, such an idea can lead to an isolationism in which only work is important, and the daily joys experienced by others become unimportant and trivial. [...]

[...] The large majority of people are confused, besieged, and struggling without any clear idea of why they are in such a state, and with barely a hundredth fraction of your insight or understanding, unable to form their own framework, yet aware that the conventional one is sadly lacking. [...]

[...] You are tinged by conventional ideas and judgments—natural enough, but they often contradict your intuitive feelings, and make you act counter to them.

Now I hope before too long to get on with our book, but I am also highly interested that you put our ideas to work to better your own daily lives. [...]

[...] Your understanding, stretched somewhat by earlier ideas, would have fallen backward, so that you ever strained against it. [...]

(At 8:45 Jane had no idea of the material for the session tonight. [...] She said she still feels “a little odd when I don’t have any idea of what he’s going to talk about, or anything.” [...]

[...] One is a conceptual energy force reality which is much more than some theoretical world of ideas, but a reality in which individual energy is used in a constant manipulation of idea or concepts into constructions that, while not physical in your terms, is nevertheless a vivid and actual, concrete field of manipulated and applied force in which matter may be, but is not always, an end result.

Ruburt’s poetry this evening did represent a breakthrough of sorts, both in the ideas presented and in the poetry-writing itself. [...]

[...] His idea about the morning symptoms was correct—knowing this will minimize them.

[...] He has been using the idea of the contract as a club, and this is why he has been so sensitive about it. [...]

Now the energy that I am using now is also being made available for Ruburt (louder), and now he is no longer afraid to use it joyfully, and it will straighten out his arms and release some of the crooked ideas that he has in that head of his.

Now some of this has to do with some information given to you by Joseph last evening—Joseph is your friend Robert—having to do with your ideas of health and illness. [...]

[...] You will not only shove down ideas that seem negative, however, you will also shove down feelings of generosity, particularly toward people that you do not like, feelings of joy because you feel too guilty to think you should feel joy. [...]

[...] You have no idea. [...]

[...] That means any tests that he likes the idea of, so you can pass the word along. [...]
