“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Again loudly:) Michelangelo⁵ roamed the centuries, picking up visions and ideas as others might buy postcards, journeying from one country to a foreign land. [...]

[...] Any idea, creative insight, or dream, rides upon the same sure thrust.

(Seth’s reference to her material on plants concerned some short humorous essays she’d started writing for her own amusement a couple of days ago, in response to some new ideas. [...] If nothing else, she said now, the ideas could find their way into Seth’s material — or else they’d originated in Seth material that was innate within her to start with.)

[...] My idea of a moment point is only an approximation of your physical moment. [...]

[...] Some ideas for Seven came, and the impulse to write them down. [...]

[...] Then I remembered having heard this in that same place in the yard a couple of times before while also lying down and being in sort of a psy-time state, and I just began to get some ideas now that this might in some way be related to the discussion.”)

[...] I thought Jane might get confused, being bombarded with so many ideas and suggestions from so many angles.

[...] Georgia had indeed complained to nursing service, and in turn they had agreed to cancel the idea. [...]

[...] My brush moved over the surface, modeling heads and likenesses, and ideas, with amazing facility. [...]

[...] Your table (pointing) is an excellent idea. [...] Reinforce that idea of safety, and comfort him, as you have.

[...] Its ideas were largely gained in childhood, and there was a giveand-take between Ruburt’s fears and hopes. [...]

(I mentioned to Jane a question I’d thought of during the session but hadn’t interrupted to ask: If the subconscious can reason, as Seth tells us, why doesn’t it understand that at times it can go too far sometimes?—that obviously the idea of selfprotection can be very damaging if carried to extremes. [...]

In many cases your scientists seem to have the strange idea that you can understand a reality by destroying it; that you can perceive the life mechanism of an animal by killing it; or that you can examine a phenomenon best by separating yourself from it. [...]

(And, very simply, the idea that the “event horizons” of black holes may radiate detectable light could be a step in the unification of some of those forces — gravity and electromagnetism — as they are treated in relativity theory and quantum theory, respectively. [...]

Nor is such an inner decision forced upon the conscious personality, for in all such instances, the conscious personality has at various times come close to accepting the idea of death at the particular time in life.

(Pause at 11:29.) There have also been men — in your terms — more developed than you — in your terms — for your ideas of development are highly erroneous. [...]

“Both ideas could be part of the whole solution,” Rob said. [...]

[...] I didn’t have an idea in my own head about anything. [...]

[...] I don’t want to give you the idea that existence without your camouflage patterns is bland and innocuous because this is not the case. [...]

I want to give you some idea of the conditions that you may expect to meet in any successful projections, so that you will be prepared to some extent. [...]

[...] Jane considers it possible that here Seth is getting at the idea of a folded note or card being attached to the plant when Miss Callahan received it as a gift. [...]

(“With something beginning with an M, and something beginning with a G,” We didn’t know, although we speculated that the initials were a distortion of Miss Callahan, or of Merry Christmas, both these ideas being related to the source of the poinsettia plant which furnished the leaves as objects. [...]

(Jane had no idea of what Seth was going to talk about before the session began. [...]

[...] This is a legitimate connection, since the image served to bring up the idea of Barbara, who sent us the card used as object.

[...] Ruburt’s idea incidentally about the column is a good one. [...]

[...] He was afraid that his ideas would be ridiculed because he was a woman, not having the credentials of the accepted academy or sex.

Your love since then has found more direct expression, and I am not obviously saying that that indirectness of expression is responsible for Ruburt’s symptoms—but only to state that your expressed concern in many instances, without the direct expression of love, reinforces the idea of threat or insecurity.

Put into practice the last session, particularly with Ruburt playing with his ideas, instead of concentrating upon his work. [...]

[...] The distorted ideas of the medical profession or the scientists, or of any other group, are not thrust upon you, therefore. [...] The idea of prevention is always based upon fear — for you do not want to prevent something that is joyful. [...] Not only does the idea [of prevention] continually promote the entire system of fear, but specific steps taken to prevent a disease in a body not already stricken, again, often set up reactions that bring about side effects that would occur if the disease had in fact been suffered.

A true understanding of the way in which an idea becomes physical matter would result in a complete revamping of your so-called modern technology, and in buildings, roads, and other structures that would far outlast those you now have. [...]

It will be a good idea, even if it is not pleasant, for Ruburt to do some more free association in relationship to his fears about his body’s performance — and those fears should not then be treated impatiently. [...]

You (Jane and I) have to a large degree thrown aside old belief systems, and dared to rely upon ideas given largely to you by me. [...]

(Jane wrote an intuitive dissertation on the wonderworks idea as soon as she received the title; this took up two single-spaced typewritten pages. [...]
