“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] She told Rob that our work with Seth was a lifetime project, that we would publish his manuscripts, and help spread his ideas. [...]

[...] I mean … well, I’m not some poor deluded idiot with the idea that I can solve the world’s problems. [...]

[...] We were both completely unacquainted with such ideas, yet, intuitively, we accepted them. [...]

The idea of dissociation could be likened to the slight distance between the bark and the inside of the tree. [...]

If you cannot communicate important ideas, then you must communicate trivial ones. The big conversation, in which you attempt to communicate your ideas, only frightens her. The idea should be communicated when you are not emotionally upset, and you should not adopt the tone of a parent speaking to a child.

[...] Your own ideas concerning various issues could be profitably inserted when you are not emotionally upset over them.

[...] Ideas expressed at such occasions will be strenuously fought by her. [...]

[...] Ruburt has been doing well and is heading in the proper directions, particularly with the ideas of effortlessness and informal self-hypnosis. [...]

[...] (Pause.) When you see yourselves as being primarily in direct opposition to the ideas of the world (pause), then Ruburt feels the need also to overprotect himself from it. [...]

[...] Your abilities led both of you far beyond, and it is time that you updated your ideas. [...]

[...] As far back as the 613th session in Chapter One, Seth was making statements like this: “Your feelings have electromagnetic realities that rise outward, affecting the atmosphere itself,” but at the time we paid little attention to the implications behind such ideas. [...]

[...] Ideas and beliefs bring about those obviously man-made structures that imply self-conscious minds and the ocean of interrelated social events.

(11:45.) From it spring ideas that are quite as natural as lightning. [...]

[...] It is an excellent idea to go over these sessions one at a time and keep the material in the forefront of consciousness for a while. [...]

(9:38.) The ideas of the flesh itself being graced also seemed quite blasphemous then to the Sinful Self. [...]

[...] I wanted badly to study this session with the idea of basing future questions upon it. [...]

[...] I was also still thinking about her reaction to the sessions themselves: the idea that she could feel inferior to Seth and/or the material was, as I noted, a pretty new one for me, and somewhat surprising. [...]

[...] It is disconnected from ideas of publishing, though later it may be published. [...]

Moist heat will also help as an aid, but mainly the entire idea of the body’s good intent and support. [...]

[...] Your ideas of society and cooperation arise from both a biological and spiritual knowledge given you at birth. [...]

[...] You do this by discarding ideas of unworthiness and powerlessness, no matter what their sources. [...]

[...] I was getting stuff from Seth before the session, but I haven’t the slightest idea of what he said in the session itself — I don’t remember anything. [...]

[...] But many put off spending more money, say, for a hardcover book, because this would involve a commitment involving the ideas themselves.

[...] Spending more means that they consider the ideas to be worthwhile.

On the other hand their ideas are so challenged that it takes them a while. [...]

[...] If you would forget such ideas as selling your paintings and simply do them, you could clear some barriers.

[...] He picked that idea up from you. [...]

[...] His idea of challenging body beliefs is important. [...]

(At least consciously, I hadn’t been considering any such ideas involving fruit, although the ideas here are interesting ones.)

His ideas have changed through the years. [...]

[...] You are left with “workable facts” that help you manipulate in your own backyard, but such facts become prejudice when you try to venture beyond your own cosmic neighborhood and find that your preconceived, native ideas do not apply outside of their context.

Because of your attitudes, ideas do not seem as real to you as objects, or as practical. [...]

1. While discussing probabilities and his units of consciousness in the 682nd session, in Section 1, Seth told us: “The idea of one universe alone is basically nonsensical. [...]

[...] Pause.) There is no basic contradiction between the man’s ideas and those orthodox ones followed by his wife. [...] She has clothed a basic idea of reality in certain garments, and he has chosen other garments. [...]

[...] You did not have, in the past life, any idea of joy connected with religion, however, the cross being then a symbol of death, leading to a Puritan afterlife.

It is not to be simply the presentation of ideas, though these are, of course, a main part of the whole. [...]

[...] But he should not present my ideas as if they come from thin air, for this is to rob the material.

I say this out of no misguided egotism, but because the essence of personality is the only meaningful basis behind idea. [...]

[...] Earlier I mentioned that your concept, distorted concept of cause and effect, led to the idea that all things must have a beginning and an end.

Ruburt in the child’s perceptive poem could not let go this idea, and we must speak as he did then, in terms of beginning and end. [...]

[...] The universe and all planes and universes of existence, come indeed from what you may call energy, vitality, idea; or despite Ruburt’s stubborn blocking, from a personality essence or psychic gestalt which you may refer to as God if you prefer. [...]

[...] I regret, and deeply, that we must still deal with concepts in terms of words strung out one before the other, for this method serves to reinforce your idea of continuity, cause and effect, past and present, and all such camouflages that I am completely determined to put into proper place.

[...] Once you are born into a particular time and country, you do grow up in an almost invisible but definite environment of concepts, assumptions, and predetermined ideas that serve as a basis from which your own individual beliefs spring. [...]

[...] These are ideas, then, that Ruburt must get through his head. [...]

[...] For in the old framework those ideas make no sense. [...]

(Jane said she thought the idea a good one. [...]

Now part of this was quite unrealistic, based on old ideas of his, part of it from the interaction of your natures. [...]

[...] Instead he feared that they drove you farther apart, in that he feared you would use them to spend time away from him rather than with him, and in that he did not feel able to express his own ambiguous feelings—the ideas of performance entering in here.

There was also the idea of channeling that energy into our sessions, this of course at a deeply unconscious level. [...]

[...] He had many good ideas that he felt you would have been against that would have worked out very well, but he was afraid of going against you.

[...] An idea on your plane gives birth to physical constructions, but the idea itself is merely a translation of another reality, which gave birth to it.

(I made a list of these, added a quick sketch of the horses, and Jane’s Saratoga experience and ecstasy experience, pages 65 and 66; all with the idea of quizzing Seth about them at tonight’s session. [...]

(One idea we think has promise is that witnesses attending the Wednesday sessions—we decided to keep Monday sessions private so that we could relax—first read the material in another room while the session itself is going on. [...]

[...] They will try out the ideas, many of them, to the best of their ability, and learn and gain much — all the time (much more forcefully.) hanging on safely to the banners of conventional beliefs. [...]

[...] They took Seth’s ideas with them, however, and with considerable interest Jane and I thought of them as not only looking for truths but meeting counterparts. [...]

We also applied the counterpart ideas to ourselves. [...]

“The counterpart idea is merely a small attempt to hint at that interrelationship — an interrelationship that of course includes all species and forms of life.”

Homosexuals can benefit from the ideas in this book, particularly if small groups get together, examining their own beliefs, and reinforcing their will to live, their right to live, and the basic integrity of their being.

[...] The idea is to clear the mind as much as possible from beliefs that impede the fine, smooth workings of the life force, and to actively encourage those beliefs and attitudes that promote health and the development of all aspects of healing experience.

[...] They will try out the ideas, many of them, to the best of their ability, and learn and gain much, all the time hanging on safely to the banners of conventional beliefs—and Ruburt has allowed himself no such comforts. [...]

Your idea of the second house frightened him, implying isolation. [...]
