“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] This certainly sounds like a fine ideal. [...]

Ideally, the body would always right itself after such lapses from exuberant health—but even those lapses often exercise that resiliency. [...]

[...] Ideally, Ruburt can regenerate the gums overnight. [...]

[...] The idea of the ideal body has often been held up to the populace at large, and this often sets forth a stylized “perfect” physique that actually could be matched by few individuals. [...]

(Thus, Jane found his offers of help at the house to be just what she’d have asked for, given an “ideal” situation. In many ways, we found the situation to be quite similar to that involving the recent visits of Carol and Fred, from Canada, and of Hal and Rusty, from Lancaster, Pennsylvania—in that it seemed the necessary inner workings to bring about the ideal situation had been carried out in Framework 2. More on this can be added in later sessions. [...]

[...] Plato conceived [of] it as the world of ideals, seeing within it the perfect model behind each imperfect physical phenomenon.

[...] Man himself, according to this concept, could not affect that ideal world one whit. [...]

[...] Eleanor, he discovered, was anything but his idealized concept of a literary editor. [...]

[...] They were coming to him when he so desperately had wanted to join them, thinking that his idealized, youthful hopes would there find fruition.

[...] It arouses and stimulates activity without causing him to compare his experience with what is to him an ideal. [...]

[...] Within creaturehood there are wide ranges of abilities; these may be seldom used, but they are there as practical ideals that can be expressed within that system. [...] These too serve as practical ideals, but in a different kind of context, for you have other centuries to play with and many existences instead of one.

I do not want you to think that I am idealizing them, for their ways were not particularly gentle, but their experience with time was a rich vein of experience that is now most unusual—one that you were at least aware of in your own reincarnational episodes. [...]

[...] He had a tendency on the one hand to idealize them for their love of nature, and on the other hand he somewhat scorned their lack of intellectual breadth. [...]

[...] We think they are excellent-we can identify with them because they “fit” our particular psyches in what we think are ideal ways. [...]

[...] Ideally, infants “bond” with their parents, particularly with the mother but with the father also—and then they “bond” with the general ideas of their society. [...]

[...] A firm bonding with the parent ideally implies however that the child will not be abandoned, despite for example parental anger at any given time. [...]

[...] The difference in hair coloring represented the fact that these are, so far, idealizations—yet he did identify with them. There were idealizations because he had not yet encountered the ape man-woman, for that connection was necessary before those qualities could be physically actualized. [...]

[...] You focus upon the gulf between your ideals and your experience, until the gulf is all that is real. You will not see man’s good intent, or you will do so ironically — for in comparison with your ideals, good in the world appears to be so minute as to be a mockery.

Now ideally the body could at once heal itself, so that in the next moment he walked with perfect ease. [...]

The trouble is that he tries to live up to an idealized image. [...] He thinks that ideally he should want to be a public person, to give and enjoy giving interviews to the press or television, that he should (underlined) carry our message out into the world, have sessions on television so that people can see how I operate (with amused emphasis). [...]

[...] Ideally, a change of belief would remedy the situation.

[...] Ruburt should like this, for the actress stands for your idealized version of Jane, as a star however in a different theater. [...]

[...] The young man (see the 816th session proper) was really comparing his life and the earth unfavorably with an idealized imagined world, to which he could never return. [...]

[...] He represents someone highly gifted artistically, and therefore stands for your artistic self as you might have idealized it when you knew that young man. [...]

[...] Overall, I do agree, however, that our sessions ideally should not be tied to utility as a primary consideration, but should be freed of such considerations, at least generally speaking, so that their full potential can be expressed. [...]

[...] Ideally, sleeping five hours at a time, you gain the maximum benefit, and anything else over this time is not nearly as helpful. [...]

[...] For many reasons, physical activity at night has a different effect upon the body than physical activity during the day, and ideally, both effects are necessary.

“The statue of the deer represents that idealistic image of the past; finding it broken in Brenner’s yard connects its real environment where Rob lived as a small boy [on Harrison Street] to Wilbur Avenue where he lived later; meaning that he’d idealized both backgrounds. [...] Idealized ones, statues, don’t leave waste, but they don’t live either.

You are also somewhat idealizing the past, however, so you did not simply get the information “straight on,” but you received it in such a fashion that it made its own psychological points also, and was furthermore wound into other action not only within that dream, but in a series of dreams.

[...] Instead you remove the impetus for improvement by minimizing the symptoms, which, ideally now, would activate psychological, spiritual, mental, and physical centers, bringing about necessary adjustments.
