“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In the first of those two lives, both of you to some extent tried to enforce your ideas of truth through force, physically. [...] You were involved with your ideas of truth in an entirely different context, as was much of Europe at that time, and some of the world now.

[...] It is for that reason that he so fears the false prophet idea. [...]

[...] The whole world, more or less, was experimenting with the use of brutal force as an accepted method of enforcing ideas. [...]

(10:02.) Give us a moment … So-called future developments of your species are now dependent upon your ideas and beliefs. [...] Your ideas are beginning to change. [...]

[...] I read her the heading for Section 4 now, while we waited for Seth to come through “I haven’t the vaguest idea, even, of what all that means,” she said. [...]

[...] When your fate seems dependent upon heredity, for example, then the transmission of ideas and beliefs operates; these give signals to the chromosomes. [...]

(A group of us — Alex, Warren,² and others — had come over to Jane and Rob’s for a casual get-together, and also to talk about that week’s class, which seemed to be one of the “milestone” classes that happen occasionally.³ During the conversation, Alex said that the rise of literacy in the world would spread Seth’s ideas on a scale that had never previously been possible. [...]

According to your intent, your desire, and your beliefs, your ideas intersect with the reality that you know, with physical space and physical time — they become real, in historic terms. [...]

(After Seth had answered questions from some of the others present, Jane came out of trance and we discussed what had been said … eventually getting into the question of whether or not Seth’s ideas were “old” or “new.” [...]

[...] Even as I worked on this note Jane received a most enthusiastic letter of approval from a young woman who had just read Seth Speaks and Volume 1. To paraphrase a few lines: “Why isn’t the whole world reverberating with these fantastic ideas? [...]

[...] She had some idea of what she had been saying, but didn’t think she had been speaking for any length of time.

It is unfortunate that the idea of tests often disturbs the flexibility that is necessary in order to achieve results. [...]

[...] The idea of rock and water and many colors, and a connection with a note. [...]

[...] We had about given up on the kitchen idea for this year, but now our hopes rise again. [...]

I am trying to give you an idea of the direction in which we will be moving. [...]

[...] For you must deal with your idea of time, and manipulate within it while you hold it valid. [...]

[...] “The next line was to be: your current scientific and religious ideas of reality are like children’s tales.” [...]

Current ideas of reality are like children’s fairy tales. [...]

[...] She said that sometimes for a period of perhaps two weeks, she will have an idea of what Seth will talk about; then will begin a longer period during which she has no advance ideas. At 8:55 this evening she still had no idea of what she would be talking about. [...]

Your idea of a spirit, I believe, is something without form, and I can have form. [...]

[...] This idea will help you understand what I mean when I say that I have structure but can change it.

(“Is that why you said it’s a good idea for Jane to wait on her book yet?”)

[...] She had no idea, she said, of her pace, fast or slow, or of the passage of time per se. She said she had the impression that the material from Seth was highly condensed and directed, aimed at the reader, that he was trying to get the ideas across as clearly and concisely as possible.

[...] You must understand that there are no real divisions to the self, however, so we speak of various portions only to make the basic idea clear.

[...] She thought Seth might talk about some of the letters she’d answered today, as well as some ideas of her own. [...]

I would like to explain more clearly a few ideas that came to Ruburt concerning certain kinds of correspondents, and to explain more clearly some important issues regarding his own situation that also began to come into his mind. [...]

Following brief insights concerning these ideas, Ruburt found himself mentally making this kind of statement to himself (colon): I accept my natural agility wholeheartedly. [...]

[...] I said that was a total misconception on her part, that I’d never had such ideas, nor wanted to do any such thing. [...]

[...] But the idea is that it is safe to express himself, and that the true purpose of his life is indeed to express those characteristics that compose his personal reality.

(4:45.) In other words, Ruburt was given strong creative abilities that he was determined to express — but at the same time early in his life he was given the idea that it was highly dangerous to express the very uniqueness that was inherent in his creativity. [...]

I do not seriously imagine that you would entertain such a ludicrous idea, but the situation certainly contains humorous overtones, and it would not be like me to let anything like this pass without comment.

[...] Nor indeed is the idea behind all this ridiculous in any manner. [...]

[...] For simplicity’s sake you may say that ideas are electric, in that they spark enzymes within the mechanism, that then automatically begin the work of physical construction, in line with inner expectations as outlined earlier.

[...] She had no idea before the session as to what Seth would discuss; nor had she been reading about any such ideas as those presented tonight before the session.

The analogy may be a poor one in that it says so little, and yet it will be helpful in giving you the idea. [...]

[...] Literally he was infected by negative ideas. [...]

Ruburt has a good idea of that from his work with the pendulum.

[...] By labeling a group of symptoms you add to their idea of permanence, and give a name to certain aspects of bodily activity, distinguishing them from other activities and therefore giving them rather dangerous focus. [...]

(The session began later than usual because we watched a television movie on the idea of cloning. [...]

[...] They had no idea of faith in the terms of which we are speaking, yet in Framework 2 their desires came about—and not as a result of detective work.

[...] Remind Ruburt to think of ideas in his writing. [...]

[...] The getting up and down each time brings him in direct conflict with the old body beliefs, and ideas of motion, that he used to repress. [...]

Aspects is extremely important, for it represents the reorganization of his ideas, and in a highly creative framework. [...]

[...] The vitamin E does help, and Ruburt’s idea of his own self-image is involved, also.

[...] It was an excellent idea “not to hide” when company comes—but any remarks should be made as statements of facts, simply and quietly, and not as apologies. The ideas of shame are simply new versions of old religious concepts, or of scientific ones: if there is something physically wrong with you, it is either a sign of inner sin or of incompetency in terms of survival of the fittest. [...]

[...] Spiritualism exists with such fervor in your country because Americans like the idea of a communication with the dead on an individual basis, minus the intervention of priests, and hence the pioneering spirit was early tuned to do-it-yourself séances and the like. [...]

[...] This image trace is a lingering manifestation, an imprint within your system, a part of its reality, and is held within it as you might for example retain an idea in your mind long after the idea has been expressed physically. [...]

The concept, structure, can be used by you in many ways—as a vehicle to carry many differing ideas. [...]

[...] The little adventure certainly fits in with Seth’s idea of counterparts, as he introduced it in the 721st session, but it raises a number of questions, too. [...]

[...] The scene was very faint, so much so that it might almost be called more of an idea than an image. [...]

“My own defiance is a peaceful one having to do with ideas. [...]

[...] But I question, at least provisionally, any idea of past or counterpart lives that I lived one hundred percent. [...]

[...] What Ruburt has in mind—and generally—this includes the ideas that you have given, Joseph, in the taped material—those procedures are indeed paying off. [...]

Now, to resume: Your idea of using the sponges is an excellent one, and for now have Ruburt use that same imagery once a day for a starter. [...]

[...] The idea, again, is to avoid concentration on impediments. [...]

[...] It is a good idea to put off making any decision for a while. [...]

[...] The idea of making choices should be stressed: to live or to die is indeed each person’s choice.
