“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The power of those communications rides upon the same kind of symbolism as dream images, in which each image is actually tightly organized.

[...] People use words somewhat in the way that you might use dream images. [...]

[...] We know little about that life; one evening with Sue Watkins, who also lived then, I managed to tune into that existence to some degree via images. [...]

[...] Try to think of the sounds of images. [...]

[...] This image, on a slight angle, was probably more subjective than objective. [...]

[...] The face’s expression accurately reflects the inner self-image, as odd as it may seem. A smile, even when he does not feel like smiling, builds up the self-image, and affects the entire bodily condition.

[...] A person may see himself or herself, say, as a daring explorer, an inventor, an opera star or whatever, and react against such images. [...] However accomplished they might be, however, some consider themselves failures because they have not lived up to those ghost images. [...]

I suggest the exercising images be executed in the time now given to the relaxation exercises, and replacing those in the book (Psycho-Cybernetics). [...]

Your exercises following the book should be much concerned with images of spontaneity, exhilaration and freedom. [...]

[...] All communications depend upon inner electromagnetic manipulations in any case, even for example mental images, and body temperature is also related here.

[...] If the physical temperature is too high however, then there are breaks that occur, particularly in the case of ordinary mental images, and in for example reception of clairvoyant impressions.

[...] This was I think the first time I’ve seen Seth’s image that clearly; though once in a session I think I did.

[...] It contains many intriguing ideas — as, for example: “A tree knows a human being also … [yet it] does not even build up an image of a man, which is why this is so difficult to explain … And the same tree will recognize the same man who passes it by each day.”

[...] But, because you did not hear sound with your ears, you panicked and formed the image of mouths that could not speak. This was a projection of your inability and should not be taken as any condition of helplessness existing in the inner world, as I am afraid you interpreted the image.

There is an inner sense, Joseph, that, in a vague manner, corresponds to your own inner images. [...]

[...] I hoped the feeling would somehow turn into sound or images, but it didn’t. At least I felt that I hadn’t slammed any ‘interior door’ shut.

[...] Because you believe this literally, literally you have allowed the ulcer to become a part of your self-image, in the same manner that an arm or a leg is a part of a self-image. [...]

[...] I will have more to say concerning the manner in which the organic illness has been accepted by the ego, as a part of the ego’s self-image. [...]

[...] It is not (Jane’s voice became even louder) part of the image that the inner self gave you. [...]

[...] Both of these images are like your portrait. [...] “The little images face in all directions around the head of the big Seth. [...]

Dictation (quietly): Ruburt saw the images in a particular fashion so that he could understand certain information about the nature of the psyche.

The giant image of myself, never clearly glimpsed by Ruburt, represents my own greater reality. [...]

3. Seth discussed his “blueprints for reality” a number of times in Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality. See the 696th session, for instance: “Each probability system has its own set of ‘blueprints,’ clearly defining its freedoms and boundaries … These are not ‘inner images of perfection,’ and to some extent the blueprints themselves change … As an individual you carry within you such a blueprint, then; it contains all the information you require to bring about the most favorable version of yourself in the probable system you know … In the same fashion the species en masse holds within its vast inner mind such working plans or blueprints.”

Each of you now as you sit before the image that you call Jane Butts or Ruburt, each of you now are, indeed, as ghostly as you may think that I am for you form your own physical image about you and you pretend it is your real self. [...]

[...] They will often be devoid of the comfortable images that you all know. [...]

[...] You have an idea of what that type of personality should be like and, to some extent, and for awhile, you will manage to distort his image until you are sure that it is pure and good and true. [...]

([Joel:] “Does that have anything to do with the psy-time image I saw of a bridge coming together but not completely formed?”)

[...] Now what you are hearing of the other personality is a dim image of what he is, for he cannot as yet relate to you what he is. [...]

[...] I want you to look through the images that are not there that you see in your minds. [...] I want you to look through stereotyped images of good and evil until you understand what your own creativity is. [...]

[...] Any energy that you need to direct to any part of your physical image is yours for the asking. [...]

[...] Mental images, though they may occur within the physical skull, are not in themselves physical. The images, again, are only the symbols, the physical symbols, of inner knowledge. [...]

[...] The image idea here will be an added reinforcement and help. [...]

When this is working well the emotion will diminish as the image fades; an episode such as this latest one should be considered as a local condition, and not exaggerated. [...]

[...] Instead to dire images of being for example, bedridden.

A sensible look at the picture therefore will show him that he is indeed far better than that feared image. [...]

[...] On the other hand the woman image that she understands, because of her mother, is a dominating woman image. [...]

[...] pertained to a mental image she had at the time. [...]

Her father has been more destructive to her psychological health in some respects than her mother, for he gave her the image of males as weak.

(I now asked Seth to name the object: “I have the impression, holding the object this way” [gesture in the same fashion as above], “of a rectangular object, a card that is connected with a picture”, resulted in Jane having a mental image here. [...] She also had an image of something darker in the center of the rectangle, and interpreted this as a picture instead of “something real.” Upon seeing the object, Jane realized the dark areas of the leaves matched the dark areas she had seen mentally, yet the image hadn’t been sharp enough to see as leaves; it came through in a generalized picture interpretation instead.

(Jane had one image which will be mentioned in place. [...]

Underneath this, however, there are basic inner sounds upon which all language is based, in which certain images give forth their own sound, and the two together portray clear, precise meaning.² A long time ago I said that language would be impossible were it not for its basis in telepathic communication³ — and that communication is built up of microscopic images and sounds. [...]

[...] It will faithfully mirror your dream images at any given time.

[...] As such they are incipient images, collectors of energy.”
