“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(11:25.) The idea of the large canvas was excellent. [...]

[...] This means that in your inner self you have a clear idea of the goals which Ruburt, for many reasons, some quite legitimate, hides from his practical self.

Jane tried to write with her impaired right hand, frustrated again and again because she couldn’t hold a pen well enough to put down the ideas stirring in her mind. [...]

[...] And as he spoke of the beginnings of the world, I began to play with the idea of quietly ending my own private sphere of existence. [...]

If earlier, however, Ruburt had the erroneous idea that he was going too fast—or would or could—and had to restrain himself and exert caution, now he received the medical prognosis, the “physical proof” that such was not the case, and in fact that the opposite was true: He was too slow. [...]

[...] But the doctor hadn’t expressed any idea at all that a thyroid gland could regenerate itself.]

[...] She read a few of the poems from the book to Mr. Fell over the phone and outlined her ideas for its humorous format, etc.; to her surprise he requested that she send him the manuscript for consideration. [...] Mr. Fell also told Jane she may appear on some radio and/or TV shows; this has been Jane’s idea also. [...]

(Note that Seth’s idea of our time is quite different from our own at times. [...] At various times Seth has told us his idea of time may not coincide with ours. [...]

[...] Ruburt had also been thinking newly about the magical approach from ideas in your own notes² that he had just read. [...]

[...] Her comment reminded me of some material I’d written last month, and had mentioned to her a few times since — that over very long spans of time the earth and all of its creatures stay the same, relatively speaking, and that only human beings, with their ideas of ‘progress’ and ‘development’ change.

[...] Coupled with this is the idea that magic, as we call it, reflects a basic part of our natural mental equipment and abilities, but that our present course of action, our focusing upon the material and the intellectual — the ‘reasonable’ portions of our psyche — has created artificial divisions, in which magic seems quite ‘unreasonable’ or unreal. [...]

“The conscious idea of magic, then, is a mask, or contrived version, of the psyche’s innate clairvoyant, telepathic, and precognitive abilities. [...]

4. This material reminds me of Seth in the 681st session in Volume 1: “The deeper explanations, however [in this case of probabilities], demand a further expansion of ideas of consciousness … It is not so much a matter of Ruburt’s vocabulary, incidentally, since even a specialized scientific one would only present these ideas in its own distorted fashion. [...] Words do not exist, for example, for some of the ideas I hope to convey. [...]

[...] These (intently), activated, would then be picked up by your scientific instruments, and therefore change your ideas in such fields.

There is constant translation of inner reality into objects in the waking state and a constant translation of ideas into pseudo-objects in the dream state. Within a certain range of dream reality, ideas and thoughts can be translated into pseudo-objects and transported. [...]

[...] I have used the idea of neighboring systems for simplicity’s sake, as if they were laid out end to end. [...]

[...] This idea should help you understand experience in terms of intensities and projections or the movement of consciousness without necessarily motion through space.

[...] That Sunday as we were out driving, the idea suddenly struck me that there might be a force coming up from the earth, in opposition to gravity. [...]

Concentrating upon your own camouflage universe, you are able to distinguish only the distortive pattern, and from this pattern you deduce your ideas of cause and effect, past, present and future, and ideas of an expanding universe that bloats. [...]

[...] By 8:50 this evening Jane was nervous, as usual, having no idea of Seth’s subject matter for the session.

[...] I like the ocean analogy because you get the idea of continuous flow and motion without apparent division.

[...] The idea that animals are sacred is not as farfetched as it may sound.

[...] That also involves your joint ideas of work. [...]

[...] Once subconscious accepts an idea, it begins to execute it. [...]

(Class had been discussing dream realities, personality, etc., for about an hour; Gert and Sheila began talking back and forth on Sheila’s ideas on separate personalities, when Jane interrupted to say that she had one impression that the “hole in the universe” had opened up in Sam Levine’s house and a crowd of people were flying from it into the room. [...]

[...] I do not harp to you about theory simply because I want to spout theory, but because I want you to put these ideas into practice.”

[...] The ideas, in themselves, will make you think. [...]

[...] These ideas, accepted, work automatically, though some time in Framework 1 would be involved necessarily; but the releasing ease and the gradual overall improvement would be quite perceivable.

[...] The pillow pounding was simply meant to allow physical expression that would vary on different days, and would open the body to the idea of the normal exertion of such energy. [...]

(Jane said that at the moment she had no idea why she clung to the photograph idea. [...]

(Since Jane had developed the photograph idea so consistently in the test, we thought something must have happened to put her on that track, and we said aloud that we hoped Seth would deal with the reasons for this before ending the session.

[...] The chemical composition of a storm perhaps will give you an idea of what I mean. [...]

[...] As I worked with the materials on the newspapers, I wondered whether it was such a good idea, fearing that perhaps the acrylic glue I was using might dissolve the black printing ink enough to cause it to dirty the white burlap I was handling. [...]

[...] She had become quite enthusiastic over the idea.)

[...] Instead, I thought, by “another form” he may mean an explosion of ideas or knowledge in our reality, with the tremendous objective results that would follow. [...] (I could also see correlations here between Seth’s ideas about the primary nature of All That Is and the inflationary model of the universe. [...]

[...] (In those terms, the one exception is the hydrogen atom, which evidently consists of but one proton and one electron cloud, or “smear.”) For the simple purposes of this note, then, I’m leaving out considerations involving quantum mechanics, which concept repudiates the idea of “particles” to begin with. [...]

[...] This mainly involved the idea of leaving your job, particularly as money accumulated in the bank.

[...] As far as the idea of doing nothing, I explained to her that I thought saving money would enable us to get our own living quarters eventually, and thus solve some long-range problems. [...]

He was angry at your mother for whatever ideas she gave you that prevented the full use of your abilities. [...]

[...] But ideas will come to him in better fashion if he allots part of the day to spontaneous thinking. He sops ideas up in a spontaneous manner, and when it seems that he plays, even to him, he is working.

I will now, ordinarily, pick up any dangerous warning signals concerning your health or Ruburt’s, but it is still a good idea to query me now and then directly.

[...] It will also include in the opening chapter several occasions when I tried to reach Ruburt in the dream state, and the ways in which I was able to insert several ideas into his dreaming consciousness, and the ways in which the conscious mind utilized and distorted the information.

Your ideas themselves follow certain laws of creativity. [...]

[...] Some of these ideas will undoubtedly be accepted by you from your culture. [...]

(Now here are excerpts from the account she wrote for me of her experiences involving the rain-puddle creature and the light on the evening of February 2. Jane’s narrative and poetry supplement Seth’s own words, and show how she became consciously aware of the unique transformation of her original poetic ideas into visual reality — and how she then carried the creative process another step by converting her new perceptions into more poetry. [...]

Ideas form reality, so the body is used to reacting to some “imaginary” situations in which, for example, the mind conjures up dire circumstances which do not physically exist; but these still force the organism into an over-activation, setting up a state of stress. [...]
