“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] But between the moments that you know, and neurologically accept, there are other kinds of moments, if you prefer, other versions of time, and other kinds of accomplishments and fulfillments that are not dependent upon your usual ideas of, say, growth through time.³

It is only because, particularly in your times, you have trained yourselves to limit the nature of your own consciousnesses that such ideas seem strange. [...]

[...] Your idea of the devil represents the same kind of process, except that it stands for your idea of evil or darkness, or abilities that you are afraid of. [...]

[...] Both religion and science, parents and schools, stress that idea, and it is one of the most important causes of mental alienation, spiritual and physical distress.

[...] You both had exaggerated ideas, or distorted ones, about the nature of creativity, and about people who were creative, and you considered yourselves rightly as creative people.

Here you were influenced, where Ruburt was not, toward a job because of ideas of security that came from your mother, and, despite your conscious evaluations, from the activities of your brothers. [...]

[...] Why Ruburt began by repressing unpleasant ideas, and why you initially began by repressing hopeful ones.

[...] But, if you go to bed this week each night with the idea that you are not sleeping in the terms in which you usually accept that term, but you are instead changing the focus of your consciousness and that you will be as much awake and consciousness, then you will become aware of what you do consciously when you sleep. [...]

To make the idea clearer, you form the symbol. [...]

4. A note added later: Jane dealt with her “own” ideas of the inner multidimensional self in Part 2 of her Adventures in Consciousness: An Introduction to Aspect Psychology. [...]

[...] They would have to appear in line with our idea of personhood, though their own reality might exist in quite different terms. [...]

Instead, I am saying that deeper bonds of biological and spiritual love lie at the basis of all personal and cultural relationships, a love that transcends your ideas of sexuality. [...] If only stereotyped ideas of female-male relationships operated, however, there would be no bond or stimulus great enough to forge one family to another. [...]

Because you have very limited ideas of what logic is, it seems to you that the dreaming self is not critical, or “logical”; yet it works with amazing discrimination, sifting data, sending some to certain portions of the body, and structuring memory. [...] These are not only intuitively based, but formed with a logic far surpassing your ideas of that quality. [...]

[...] And while he can indeed use more weight, your cultural idea of proper weight is somewhat exaggerated. [...]

[...] You represented yourself, and yet you also represented your idea of the species in its relationship to the acquisition of any ultimate knowledge. [...]

[...] With all of this discussion of negative beliefs, therefore, it is a good idea not to call any beliefs bad or evil in themselves. [...]

[...] Since you are only familiar with your own realities, you have little idea of how they vary from others. [...]

[...] Ruburt is on the right track with his ideas today, particularly in concentrating upon the moment. [...]

[...] But he didn’t want to reconsider or evaluate his preconceived ideas of the nature of personality. [...]

Seth says that even in this life, each of us has various egos; we only accept the idea of one ego as a sort of shorthand symbolism. [...]

[...] The ideas he presented are basic to his overall theories of identity, and since he deals with some of the characteristics of consciousness, they are also a basis for later material on the God concept.

We were to discover that these ideas were not just theoretical. [...]

[...] We have not quite completely explained the idea of traveling through intensities to you, simply because words are inadequate. The idea of traveling through intensities gives the result, in your system, of traveling through time, as I have told you.

[...] She had a vague idea of what she had said. [...]

(We of course have no idea whether Wendell wrote someone in Michigan just before or after writing us on May 26,1966, nor do we know anything about the names given above. [...]

[...] She had no idea of the subject matter for the session. [...]

If Ruburt will bear with me: He will benefit from your fairly objective ideas about the gallery, if you can bring yourself to discussing them objectively.

[...] Hence his discomfort in taking dictation of even a simple letter that must be transcribed in faithful replica to the words and ideas of another.

[...] Ruburt will definitely benefit, and so will you if after reading this material you give him your idea concerning the situation. [...]

[...] The idea being that this would hopefully free Jane from worry on that score, at least. [...]

[...] The idea isn’t that a stay in the hospital will work a miracle cure —though I’d be delighted if it did —but that some help or easing of Jane’s symptoms might eventually be achieved through therapy or whatever. [...]

[...] He could not early accept the idea of having a mission in life outside of the simple one to write, which always propelled him. [...]

[...] The thought that she would soon begin talking on some question of philosophy, etc., “when you don’t have an idea in your head,” was still amazing to her. [...]

[...] This is extremely hard to explain, since I do not want to give you the idea that existence without your particular set of camouflage patterns is bland and innocuous, because this is not the case.

[...] But although he sees him pass in space he knows that they exist, he and the motorist, simultaneously even though usually the idea of passing on involves time.

(8:47 A.M. Our original idea was to insert the session Jane gave this morning in one of the earlier essays. [...] Presenting the session in a more isolated manner here, then, may give the reader a clearer idea of how we felt during Jane’s early days in the hospital [and later too, for that matter]. [...]

[...] You have no idea of the creative potential you are missing. The idea of a night in a motel, easily accessible on the ground floor, even with dinner in your room, is a beginning, out of all proportion to any events involved. [...]

They have to do with communication, and with your individual and joint ideas of how feelings are to be communicated, and above all about your beliefs as to which feelings are to be communicated.

(10:07.) Now, my fine feathered friend: you never really trusted the verbal expression of feelings, while you trusted the verbal expression of ideas. [...]
