“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now the species does have its life-tasters, rising always out of any given time to check on the overall quality of life, to see what new ingredients should be added—what new directions should be followed, what new ideas or inventions must be planted for future harvest.

[...] I wondered aloud why other brilliant men weren’t around who questioned people like Hebb and Jastrow, who told them their ideas were severely limited and distorted, who made a case for the kind of thinking Jane and I believed in. [...]

(To me:) You needed some rest, but you do not really approve of it, the idea of playful free time seems to you somehow unvirtuous. [...]

[...] We’re kicking ideas around.

Of course, I agree with the ideas of which you have just spoken, Joseph—and I have several suggestions for Ruburt. [...]

[...] You constructed the idea of the cigarette you see. [...]

[...] He enjoys ideas, but in that regard he does not trust himself. [...]

[...] The social world of ideas and beliefs represent ways of looking at nature and spirituality.

(“What do you have to say about the psychiatrist’s idea, that all this is merely Jane’s subconscious talking?”)

(“What do you think of our idea about sending a copy of this material to the lab at Duke University?”)

[...] Now this idea comes close to the relationship of the entity to its personalities. [...]

I have no idea at the present time. [...]

Using the outer senses, you are more or less forced to conceive idea groups only within the scope of perceptions received by the outer senses. [...]

[...] She also had a vague idea of the general direction in which the material was headed.

[...] Your idea of death is based upon your dependence upon the outer senses. [...]

[...] Nevertheless I will never refrain from giving you the facts, regardless of your reactions at the time, as you will come to see how this idea in particular is not unthinkable, but feasible.

[...] At this time I had no idea of using it for the experiment; the idea occurred later, some time after Jane had left the studio. [...]

[...] We had no idea of the success of this venture—whether Jane would be distracted while delivering the regular material, or during the envelope experiment; if possible we wanted to cover both categories.

[...] You did not see it, Ruburt did not see it, because an individual only sees his own constructions; and in this case the idea data was only given to Mark.

[...] Such a seeming intrusion as an apparition into the physical field represents something that must be dealt with, to you; and when the unfamiliar takes physical shape it becomes much more alarming, to most people, than even a strange idea, which after all does not seem so real in a physical way.

[...] The idea behind it came from me, and was received by Mark; and then Mark constructed the apparition, which did in fact physically exist.

[...] For many reasons the idea does not make logical sense. [...]

[...] As an idea expands, changing a world but taking up no space, and unperceived by your scientific instruments, so does the ultimate and instantaneous absolute gestalt, which you may if you prefer call God, exist and expand.

[...] They ignore and fear the inner reality, and the inner ideas and dreams which have actually formed the reality of which they are so proud.

[...] Jane sat quietly on the other side of the room while the rest of us exchanged ideas on the subject. [...] Jane had remarked that she had no idea whether she could give one, and no inkling of any possible subject matter.

[...] Louie has had more experience than Jane or I with ESP activities; and when in the course of conversation the question of Jane giving a session arose, Jane and I were somewhat surprised, not anticipating this, and did nothing to push agreement to such an idea. [...]

They knew they had something, but they had no idea of what it was—or how to handle it. [...] They have no idea of how many books they should have for advance printings—first printings.

You are lucky that Bantam was unable to use the exorcist type of publicity—and that is their idea at this point of how to handle such unconventional material. [...]

There are tendencies and conflicts that have been with the personality in other existences, that have influenced his nature as he vacillated between spontaneity, usually exaggerated, and overdiscipline; in some lives a great lack of concern for the welfare of others, that could be called an innocent callousness, a joyful, utterly spontaneous personality with little idea of practicality. [...]

For him now the idea of a long trip is a daring adventure: does he really have the freedom to go so far?

[...] The trip to Saratoga was a great success, and Jane did experience many of the ideas, realizations, feelings, etc., detailed above by Seth. [...]

(9:50.) The York Beach affair happened, Ruburt’s Idea Construction experience, and the beginning of the sessions. [...]

[...] These ideas have been delivered to you in serial time. [...]

Furthermore, Ruburt did not like the idea of making an invitation on such short notice. [...] Then, however, about fifteen minutes later he found the same ideas returning, this time more insistently.

[...] This feeling came upon me right after I had asked my subconscious to give me some idea of what had happened during the tape recording, when the voice I used seemed to belong more to Father Trainor than to me.

I mentioned that the electrical universe is composed of electricity that is far different from your idea of it. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s and your idea of bidding her good-bye is necessarily a good one.

You have little idea, apparently, of the feat in which we are herein involved. [...]

[...] One thing that inhibited me is that I was aware, of course, of the predominantly negative context or tone of the whole idea of the list. [...]

[...] (Pause.) This is because of the projection of the entire idea of body mechanisms, per se, as opposed to inner spontaneous bodily workings. [...]

(The idea had come to me intuitively while I was at work at Artistic. [...]

[...] She said that before the session she didn’t “have the slightest idea of what I was going to talk about tonight.”
