“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Since any materialization is in effect a mediation between what we may call an ideal which is, by nature, of itself not materialized, and a practical working perceivable symbol of the ideal, each materialization must be composed of some camouflage elements. [...]

[...] Ideally, psychological time experiences will allow you to perceive action more clearly and directly. [...]

[...] There is always a kind of artistic dissatisfaction that any artist feels, any true artist, with work that is completed—for the true artist is always aware of the difference between the sensed ideal and its created actualization—but that is the dimension in which the artist has his being (intently). That is the atmosphere in which his mental and physical work is done, for he always feels the tug and pull, and the tension, between the sensed ideal and its manifestation. [...]

[...] They have lost the tension between the ideal and its manifestation. [...]

[...] When you trust your abilities you allow them, through their expression, to find their own creative reconciliation, for the creative product is indeed a reconciliation between the sensed ideal and the world’s actuality. [...]

[...] On top of that, however, the whole idea of responsibility has played an overheavy hand, and it is this idea of responsibility—overplayed—that is to a large degree responsible for the idealized image of the public person with which Ruburt has unsuccessfully tried to compete. [...]

[...] There is some application there, but the larger one applies to his own ideas of what someone in his position should (underlined) be doing, and the idealized image is partially a construct to which you also added details unwittingly in the past. [...]

Remember what I told you some time ago, though you have made excellent strides in that regard, apropos natural man, in contrast to what you may think you should (underlined) be doing, in terms of any idealized self with characteristics that are not your own. [...]

[...] The term may not be the best, but it is meant to express that portion of you that is as yet unexpressed in your terms — the idealized earth version of yourself, which you are becoming. The idealized earth version is not meant to mean a perfect self in flesh at all; instead, it represents a psychic reality in which your own abilities fulfill themselves in relationship with your earthly environment to the fullest extent possible, within the time and place you have already chosen.

[...] On a different kind of scale, then, each individual has the same sort of idealized version of the self, and so does each species. [...]

[...] There was fanaticism, a closed mental environment, the rousing of hopes toward an ideal that seemed unachievable because of the concentration upon all of the barriers that seemed to stand in its way.

(Long pause.) The scientists claim a great idealism. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) It cannot value life, and so in its search for the ideal it can indeed justify in its philosophy the possibility of an accident that might kill many many people through direct or indirect means, and kill the unborn as well.²

The inborn leanings and attitudes that we have been discussing should ideally (underlined) remain with you for the rest of your life, leading you to express your abilities, and finding fulfillment as your knowledge expands through experience. The same feelings and beliefs should also ideally (underlined) help you die with a sense of safety, support and assurance. [...]

[...] You will be able to hold equally within your experience the vision of an “ideal self” and all those natural deviations from it.

[...] That does not mean that you must be unaware of divergences from your ideal concept of the beloved. [...]

As soon as you begin to compare what you are with some idealized concept of yourself, you automatically feel guilty. [...]

(Because of his particular disposition, Rooney had furnished ideal companionship for our other cat, Willy, who is several years older, and Jane and I had often speculated about the special relationship between the two. [...]

[...] The dictionary discussed the oversoul as the spirit infusing all living things, resulting in the perfect realization of an ideal nature. [...]

[...] There is no ideal knowledge that can be to given you that exists independently of consciousness. [...] There is not an inert ideal thing called knowledge that you can drink up. [...]

Sometimes the advice I give you at any given time is meant to take the place of natural creative corrective behavior that ideally you would have taken on your own, but did not. [...]

[...] The very nature of your painting is, and must be, determined by the quality of your mind, which is inquiring, which refuses to be cramped, which piles questions upon questions, while you think that the artist should ideally ask no questions at all. [...]

[...] Left alone, ideally, you might have taken a week of joyful painting, during which time your mind refreshed itself, and new ideas about your notes accumulated. [...]

[...] To Jane and me, it seemed as if his material was being enacted in real life as the ideal demonstration of Seth’s material. [...] It certainly furnishes ideal subject matter for the media. [...]

As far as this discussion is concerned, there are biological ideals, imprinted within the chromosomes, but there are also in-built ideals much more difficult to define, that exist as, say, mental blueprints for the development of other kinds of abilities. [...]

(9:23.) If the simplest particle is so endowed with impetus, with hidden ideals that seek fulfillment, then what about the human being? [...]

[...] Because he idealized you so, he projected the same kind of feelings from you to him, thinking then that you wanted an ideal mate, not a quite human one. [...]

[...] You do not understand that your own abilities give you a far clearer picture of the “ideal,” for example. [...] In the same fashion, however, you see, say, book jackets, ideal situations, in a way that the people in the business world simply do not—and you do become literally outraged when their vision proves to be so inadequate. [...]

(9:47.) The idea of a simple job attracts you because it separates your ideas of art from money—but in order to content you it could not involve money at all, for even commercial art brings you to the matter of the artistic ideal and its practical presentation. [...]

(Long pause at 9:55.) I do not want to define for you an ideal picture to which you can never live up. [...]

[...] In a way later, I “put my faith” in Rob as being older, wiser, and so forth, and idealized him. [...]

For one thing, dependable overall use of the pendulum would ideally entail some moments each day, so that rapport could be established under even circumstances, without the pressure, say, of wanting to know about a problem or a symptom. Ideally, you should relax yourself as much as possible first—a light trance, for example, gives much more dependable results – but the mind should be stilled. [...]

[...] Without giving away any “secrets,” I can write that on both occasions Seth discussed the subject in conjunction with his postulates about ideals, myths, religion, probabilities, and the simultaneous nature of time.)

[...] Your subconscious mind is the source of your ideals, aspirations, and altruistic urges.”
