“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Give us a moment … Some inventors, writers, scientists, artists, who are used to dealing with creative material directly, are quite aware of the fact that many of their productive ideas came from the dream condition. [...]

[...] She said that Seth’s last remark came about because at the supper table this evening she’d told me, as she has before, that she still hasn’t read this book straight through, and has little idea of its organization. [...]

[...] It would be a good idea now and then during the day for him to make circles with his eyes, without overdoing it.

Yesterday Ruburt received some excellent ideas for Seven, which shows that he is beginning to change his attitude, and he should continue to read those work sessions.

[...] The idea is an excellent one. [...]

(Pause.) We had better wait for our next session, for already I am involved with one idea alone that will take some time to explain.

This would seem to deny the idea of progression, since I tell you that all portions or all guises, or all aspects and all levels, of any given personality exist at once. [...]

[...] This is something different than your idea (underlined) of brute survival.

I am as I told you an educator, and as such my main concern is with education, is with ideas. [...] Much of this has to do with your idea of the theory of suggestion. [...]

[...] The material which I have already given will explain most clearly many ideas which are absolutely basic, for unless these ideas are clearly understood, then (louder) you will have no logical reason to accept anything that I say.

[...] One will have to listen to the tape of this session to really achieve any idea of the voice range Jane displayed.)

[...] If I have to pull a few tricks out of the bag to get my ideas across, then so I shall.

[...] They belong to the past, and again they escape the questioning and examination that are usually given to new ideas. [...]

[...] Many schools of thought (long pause) seem to have the curious ideas that the ego is inferior to other portions of the self, or “selfish,” and imagine it to be definitely of a lower quality than the inner self, or the soul.

[...] An idea he had earlier this week along those lines was intuitional, but he did not put it into practice.

[...] Your intent to put these ideas to work builds an inner psychological support, and the more you act upon the beliefs the more that support grows.

[...] This was not an argument, but Jane forcefully presented her idea to the effect that she and I were obligated not to clown around with effects in the psychic field. [...]

[...] This is another method Jane used to approach the idea of my father, and the RFB initials she saw mentally. [...]

[...] Later, she said, she realized the initials were meant to be taken literally, but instead she tried to interpret them; hence getting the idea of my father into the picture.

[...] She thinks Seth was trying to get across the idea of the elongated egg shape of the ring and cap, thus:

[...] By 8:45 she said she had no idea of Seth’s material for tonight, and that this made her nervous. [...]

For example as I have said, the fourth or conceptual sense ignores what you call past, present and future, and so can appreciate a concept in its entirety, can actually experience the concept in much the same manner that you might work out an idea through a drama, if you follow me.

[...] Jane and I were so sure Seth would turn thumbs down on the idea that we had not asked the question.)

[...] This appendix is included for those readers who would like a more complete look at individual sessions, and a clearer idea of the way in which the material was originally given.

[...] This original system of which I have spoken will at least be theorized shortly, but the idea will not be taken seriously enough to cause any deep controversy.

(I think these changes in Jane during sessions are caused by her creative reception of a portion of an entity, an essence, that we call Seth, and by her own ideas of what this certain segment is like as she casts it in the masculine gender. [...]

[...] I do not like the word “spirit,” either; and yet if your definition of that word implies the idea of a personality without a physical body, then I would have to agree that the description fits me.

[...] Our idea was that our receptive state might make it possible for one of us to speak for another personality should one be present, or for another level of the self. [...]

[...] My idea had been that Jane might speak for another personality, such as in the Sarah Wellington or the Malba Bronson instances. [...]

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

[...] An ego which once accepted such an idea of violence, and knew it as a possibility of action, such an ego, if he then rejects the conception, can no longer afford, ever, to recognize this once acceptable emotion, for he is only too aware of the action that could have at one time developed.

[...] To some extent later, even when it was a worthy opponent, Ruburt could see where his own ideas fit in or did not. [...]

Religion, having in certain terms created the entire concept, had then to create the idea of redemption to rectify it. [...]

(We arrived at the idea of similes for some of the specific material, in case the idea of being exact scared Jane off, and she said she thought the “green cabaret” data might be a case in point.

These are not sharp images, but he already begins to build up ideas of shape and form. [...]

[...] By the time he is born he has already learned to accept his parents’ idea of what reality is. [...]

For example, I would like to give you some idea of the contents of my own book. [...] The book will include a description of the way in which it is being written; the procedures necessary so that my own ideas can be spoken by Ruburt, or for that matter translated at all, in vocal terms. [...]

[...] The idea had just “come” to her after supper one night. [...]

[...] The very consciousnesses within the smallest molecules cry out against any ideas of limitation. [...]
