“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Marian said frankly that the idea made her “scary” so we did not insist, and rarely mentioned this material unless she brought up the subject herself. [...]

[...] Since Marian is a deeply religious person also, Seth tied his ideas on positive thinking and suggestion in with the religious theme, stressing the positive use of faith. [...]

[...] There are many casualties, but this is still a system that you have chosen, and your ideas still form your reality. [...]

When you consider ideas as mental and apart from nature, then you feel separated from nature itself. [...]

[...] Do you feel lost in the face of all these ideas of entities and probable selves? [...] In the next chapter, devoted to Seth’s ideas on personality, you will see that your identity as you know it is always retained.

“It’s not really a new idea,” Rob said. [...]

[...] “Not only working with patients and using art as therapy, but working with the idea that some paintings in themselves have a healing effect.” [...]

[...] He has no idea, however, that you might be expecting such a visit, or that you might be planning to meet him. [...]

(9:47.) The idea of a simple job attracts you because it separates your ideas of art from money—but in order to content you it could not involve money at all, for even commercial art brings you to the matter of the artistic ideal and its practical presentation. [...]

[...] These ideas merge with conventional beliefs about age, so that it seems you must take stock. [...]

[...] And in that area, you should also forget any idea of sex roles in conventional terms. [...]

That area has also suffered because of your joint ideas of what artists should be like, and what men and women who happen to be artists should be like. [...]

Now it will help if you take it for granted that under some circumstances, dealing with Ruburt’s idea of authority, he has difficulty expressing dissatisfaction, or any normal impatience... [...]

(At break I asked that Seth say what he think of our recent idea that Jane show some book ideas to Don Wollheim, at Ace, as a means of mobility in her writing.)

[...] The idea being that she has freedom, and so forth.”)

[...] Was it a poor idea of mine to insist that Jane finish the dream book before sending it out again?” [After it was twice rejected.])

[...] “I could feel him trying to get those ideas through just right,” she said, “using as homey and everyday concepts as he could to make them clear. [...] I had no idea of that material before the session.”

[...] It didn’t take long: Out of those very interesting ideas he’d mentioned in class last night, Seth ended up discussing the one I’ve noted as point 5.

[...] Only after such a basis will the idea of reincarnation achieve its natural validity, and only when it is understood that the subconscious, certain layers of it, is a link between the present personality and past ones, will the theory of reincarnation be accepted as fact. [...]

(Jane had no idea of what Chapter Fourteen would be about: “I’m just waiting….” At 9:51 she said, “In fact, I haven’t the slightest idea in my head about Seth or anything else.” [...]

[...] When your ideas about yourself change, so does your experience.

(Jane had no idea of the material for the session before it began. [...]

It will be easier (i.e., there will be less resistance; put that in parentheses) for a given individual to accept certain ideas or emotions therefore, and more difficult for him to accept certain others. [...]

[...] But an idea, thought or emotion so rejected still has independent actuality, and may be attracted to the emotional climate of another.

[...] She had no idea of the material to be discussed. [...]

[...] However, it is a good idea to make it up.

[...] This, as I have explained, also has something to do with your idea of physical time.

The idea that I want to portray is a difficult one, for as you know everything that is, is conscious. [...]

It makes no difference to the frog, to the nature of the frog, and it changes no smallest cell within him, if you choose to enclose what you call him, as an idea unit called frog, or whether you consider instead the complete picture. [...]

[...] But the idea, ego, is in itself an arbitrary unit chosen for particular reasons. [...]

[...] The images are formed from my ideas. Usually they are formed by his ideas. [...]

[...] If you could perceive these dreams then you would have a good idea of the main physical events of the future, because you would see them being born.

[...] It is imperative that Ruburt throw considerable energy into his idea for classes; whether in writing or in psychic matters, that all available, practically available time and effort be given here to such an endeavor; that it not be adopted halfheartedly.

The dream book should be concentrated upon, and the other ideas he has in mind worked up. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The concentration upon the dream book, along with other writing ideas and the classes, will insure the rapid recovery. [...]

[...] I realize you are not living in an ideal world, but we are giving that world ideas that can vastly increase peoples’ understanding. [...]

[...] You have little idea of the ways in which you inspire others. [...]

Ruburt’s idea for the future is a good one—seeing those who officiate at such groups (Seth classes). [...]

[...] To some extent Ruburt is in a quandary, for the idea of gaining weight seems to contradict other deeply-buried feelings.

[...] This brings up those ideas of discipline, of giving into feeling, by implication.

Both of you also have emotional ideas, now being tempered I hope, emotional feelings, that to deny sex or minimize it is to improve your creative capacity. [...]

Your beliefs so structure your experience individually and en masse, however, that evidential material contrary to those ideas shows itself but seldom, or in distorted or exaggerated form. [...]

So women, accepting these ideas often, seek for a situation in which they too can feel free to express their sexual desires openly, whether or not any love is involved. [...]

In so distorting your ideas of sex, you further limit the great capacities of human loyalty, which is always connected with love and love’s expression. [...]

[...] You have accepted this version of personhood, again, in line with your ideas about the nature of consciousness. Those ideas are changing, and as they do the species must accept its true personhood. [...]

[...] The old idea that good women do not enjoy sex has hardly disappeared. [...]

You need the idea of change—an idea that Ruburt once used to find exciting. Change your living room furniture, your bedroom, your kitchen or whatever you can—simply to symbolically and slowly break you in to the idea of change, and to break up the invisible bulk of mental patterns that are connected with your present state.

[...] There will be further changes, and these will be to your advantage, if I understand correctly your idea of advantage. [...]

[...] He is another within the company whose ideas match your own to some degree.

(I thought it a good idea that this be the end of the session, however, Seth came through again at 10:30 as the three of us sat talking about various things. [...]

As Jane wrote in Chapter 1 of The World View of Paul Cézanne: A Psychic Interpretation (1977): “Seth maintains that each of us forms a psychic world view, composed of our own ideas, feelings, and beliefs, as we encounter our private corner of reality.” [...]

[...] “I don’t like to talk about it,” she said, “but I’ve been potting around with the idea—getting some thoughts about something like that. [...]

[...] She’s made no effort to learn to write with her better-functioning left hand, as I suggested she do a couple of months ago, so I’ve dropped that idea. [...]

[...] I won’t claim that residues of it may not be buried within my psyche (and within Jane’s), but it’s very difficult to stay mad when one agrees with the simple but most basic and profound idea that you do create your own reality.
