“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Jane said this is when she had the mental image of white notepaper with blue lines on it. She didn’t know whether this image came from Seth or herself.

[...] An image, not clearly seen. [...]

[...] She had but one image during the envelope data—of white notepaper with blue lines upon it, and she didn’t know whether this came from Seth or herself.

(“An image, not clearly seen.” [...]

[...] Intuitively and as a woman he would naturally have longer hair, wear earrings and jangly jewelry, which fits the inner feminine image, and also the inner mystical, psychic image of the seeress, the prophetess, and in your own relationship, the mistress.

[...] It also held a more masculine than feminine image in his mind however, for the reasons as given.

[...] The feminine image meant instability, intuitions that could lead into unrespectable by-ways, and emotions that were not intellectually restrained.

He feels also that this image suits your ideas, as indeed it does to a large degree. [...]

Had I materialized my creature from outer space—I believe that is a current term, scoffed at and ridiculed—however, if I had materialized this image you would have really opened your eyes. [...] As a stick thrown into the water seems distorted to those who watch, so this image thrown into your plane seemed distorted to you. [...]

[...] I will have to try to build up the image of a structure to help you understand, but then I must rip out the structure because there is none there.

[...] Yet not only are we on different sides of the same wires, but we are at the same time either above or below, according to your viewpoint, and if you consider the wires as forming cubes—this is for you, Joseph, with your love of images—then the cubes could also fit one within the other without disturbing the inhabitants of either cube one iota; and these cubes are also within cubes, which are themselves within cubes, and I am speaking now of only the small particle of space taken up by your plane and mine.

[...] We construct images consistent with the senses we happen to have at a particular time. [...]

[...] No one would ever think of calling him lazy or good for nothing, yet this may be precisely his own subconscious picture of himself, against which he drives himself incessantly, all in an effort to prove that his erroneous self-image is, indeed, wrong. [...]

[...] If this is a good image, build upon it. [...]

[...] It is important that you all realize the ways in which your attitudes and feelings affect others through telepathic workings, and the ways in which the smallest thought affects your own emotions, and the physical condition of your image.

“You should see him visually—either entirely objectified or in an unusually vivid inner image. [...] He may be able to show you images from his own system of reality. [...]

[...] The drug may have the effect of coloring his image, so do not be surprised at a yellow or purplish tinge. [...]

[...] I believe you had a mental image of the inside portion of a human body, or a thought having to do with inner organs. [...]

[...] He didn’t recall any strong inner image of the interior of a body, though; yet he said that he had been thinking of body interiors—something that I didn’t know. [...]

[...] You are watching symbols translated into images that are then visually perceived. The images stand for the people, but they are not the people. [...]

When information “falls” into your conscious mind from those vaster areas, then it also is changed as it travels through various levels of psychological atmosphere, until it finally lands or explodes in a series of images or thoughts. [...]

[...] Many of your dreams are like the tail end of a comet: Their real life is over, and you see the flash of their disappearance as they strike your own mental atmosphere and explode in a spark of dream images. [...]

[...] While Seth was giving his data on the photograph, she said, she was also aware of several images of her own. It was as though she heard what Seth was saying, then conjured up her own separate set of visual images. Jane said she is particularly aware of this because as a rule she does not see images at any other time.

(Jane said the key point here is that although she had these images of her own, she did not give voice to them as part of Seth’s data; she was able to appreciate the difference. [...]

(While she was giving Seth’s data, Jane said she had images of a childhood playground in Saratoga Springs, NY, with houses nearby, but recognized this as her own data and did not give it as Seth’s. She felt sure the test object had a northern, as versus a southern, background, but did not say so because Seth did not say so.

(She also had some images while giving the material, though she could not remember them by break. Usually, she said, she forgets any images, or even whether or not she has had any, unless I specifically ask at once when a session is over or at break. Sometimes, she said, the same images will return to her when she reads a particular session; she then recognizes them.)

[...] Against that image of course he feels inadequate, and of course such an image would make him lose faith in himself to some degree; so it is very important that you realize how well you have both done in many areas of activity, and that you reinforce each other in those directions. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Then you lack trust in yourselves because you try to live up to images that are not connected with your backgrounds, and often ignore them. [...]

In dreaming, such a dissociated state as Ruburt reached is of course the rule, only here the ability is used to form the dream images. But these dream images work for the entity as a whole and serve as a means for the various personalities to communicate. [...]

[...] On a subconscious basis this is exactly how you both created the images at York Beach, the difference being that the personality split occurred on the subconscious level.

In your York Beach experience had you not been able through your peculiar creative abilities to form those images outside of yourselves, and so endow them with a physical reality, you might very well have instead turned yourself into schizophrenic personalities. [...]

[...] As the personality on your plane actually changes, expands and grows according to its potentialities, as it presents at various times varied images to the world, such as—if you’ll excuse me for using clichés—a smiling face, a sorrowful face, but is still basically the same personality, so on another level does the entity present at various times a varied appearance and speak in a different voice. [...]

(Jane had mental images of some of the above material and that to follow, and these will be summarized at the end of the session. [...]

[...] It is connected with a general, but I believe the man whose image is represented by the statue stabbed the general. [...]

(Jane had some images while speaking in trance. [...]

[...] But she had images of the row houses behind or beside it. [...]

Certain images have been used to symbolize such a transition from one existence to another, and many of these are extremely valuable in that they provide a framework with understandable references. [...]

[...] We came together, forming the image of a s-u-n (spelled out), and we said: “We are one.”

[...] She said she had a series of images which paralleled the material, yet she couldn’t describe them now.

[...] It is a part of the self-examination process, therefore, in which an individual forms his life into an image and then deals with it. [...]

You may, then, encounter images that are subconsciously formed, quite valid images that belong in another dimension; or constructions created by others in other systems. [...] Again, if you meet a disturbing image, you must first will it to disappear. [...]

[...] Any image you see here must be accepted. [...] And I tell you that whether or not these projection images are hallucinations, they can be dangerous and you must respect the reality in which they exist. [...]

[...] It is a kind of pseudo-image, materialistically speaking, but it has definite electromagnetic reality and chemical properties. [...] They react to the chemical properties and build up to the [perception of] the image from these.

[...] Were it not for these, you would still be imprisoned within the corporal image. [...]

(One image Jane had while speaking was of Barbara’s boyfriend Dick, and of the very colorful plaid sports jacket he wore. [...] This is a legitimate connection, since the image served to bring up the idea of Barbara, who sent us the card used as object.

[...] She had images while speaking, and these will be mentioned later.

[...] With this data Jane had an image of tiny circles, as on the Mother Goose costume, or of jewelry.

[...] Remember that Jane had an image of Barbara’s boyfriend Dick. [...]

[...] Yet that experience is the image that reality takes for you now, and so in other terms earthly life is one version of reality — not reality in its entirety, but a part of it. [...]

[...] Try to feel the statement in whatever way is possible — that is, do not allow distractions, but if your mind insists upon running about then channel its images in line with your declaration.

[...] (Picturing the image of a healthy plant is) something that the plant will be able to use in its own fashion ... [...]

([Tam:] “Like the ocean image spread out underneath me?”)

[...] Another one minute pause.) And now toward the whole physical image.

From behind you energy is now being directed toward Ruburt, toward his whole physical image. [...]

The anima and the animus are closely connected with these interior body images. These body images are highly charged psychically, and also appear in the dream state. [...]

[...] But enmeshed within this there are what amount to invisible layers, “shadow,” latent layers that represent previous physical images that have belonged to the personality.

[...] The voice mechanism, unfortunately, is something that we must work with and to get my own personality across through the female image and vocal chords, certain adjustments must be made. Beyond this, however, as I believe I mentioned in a few classes, it is not out of the inner sense of my invisible heart but out of the depths of your own psychology that you make me into the image of a wise old man and project upon me authority images that lurk in your own mind. [...]

([Sue:] “Would an example of a probable reincarnational self be the image of my grandfather I used to see?”)

[...] You are meant to realize that physical reality is a materialization of your thoughts and feelings and images. [...]

[...] For in the same way that dream images are projected outward from the personality, so also are thoughts projected, and all influences that extend from one personality to another.

[...] Dreams and dream images are then projected by the individual in sleep, and also in the waking state, although on a subconscious basis.

It may not exist in space but it exists in some dimension as a form, and all forms have structure; and so dream images have structure and form, although they do not exist in your space. [...]

The connections between dream images and the physical body are always maintained. [...]
