“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

These are not “inner images of perfection,” and to some extent the blueprints² themselves change, for the action within any given system of probabilities automatically alters the entire picture, enlarging it. [...]

Many have seen that inner world as the source for the physical one, but imagined that man’s purpose was merely to construct physically these perfect images to the best of his abilities. [...]

Since they are often frightened and unsure of the future, they are more apt to cast their thoughts backwards into their early childhoods, reaching for their earliest memories, and mentally try to gain comfort from the remembered sounds of beloved voices, only to mentally glimpse other images than they expected, or to hear other voices than those for which they yearned.

[...] This is my own system; the acetate, riding above the penciled outlines, leaves me free to search for various spontaneous effects that are quite inhibited if I try to follow those preliminary images too literally. [...]

[...] At the breakfast table, I told her I thought the material was connected to the sessions in Personal Reality on the interior sound, light, and electromagnetic values “around or from which” the physical image forms. [...]

The 699th session, in Volume 1, dealt in part with dream images and subjective dream “photographs.” [...]

No image on,

[...] In your particular personal relationship Ruburt began to feel that when you looked at him you were comparing him precisely with “that perfect physical self” that seemingly so eluded him, and in the face of that image, any improvement at all began to seem so insignificant as to be meaningless.

As he discovered today when he looked into a mirror, he was comparing his image now to what it had been several years ago literally—not only in terms of symptoms, you see. [...]

[...] Physically he had never really forced a body image through athletics, for example. [...]

[...] (Pause.) A very small example: the smell of an orange may instantly provide you with a mental image of one, so that that received from one sense is picked up in a fashion by the others—all serving in one way or another to give you a more completed picture of the object or event involved. [...]

[...] The main point also is to be relieved of comparison with a super image, with thoughts of what he should be, and an acknowledgement of his own (underlined) feelings about any event or situation. [...]

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

[...] I don’t recall any strong inner image of the interior of a body, but at the same time I know I have thought of this recently.)

[...] He need not try to be the perfect self, then, the super-image—and in fact to some extent found himself the supplicative (self?), knocking upon creaturehood’s earthly door, as any creature might ask aid from another who found himself wounded through misadventure. [...]

[...] Ruburt can work with the self-image he has now. [...]

[...] However, you are also working toward an inner image of a self in a previous life but it is highly distorted. If you want to see the image, then continue. [...]

[...] He can learn to do this first of all by ceasing to project an image of himself as ill into the future. [...]

He can do this by employing the exercises that you mentioned, that will show him a daily improvement that will help break the negative image and prevent further negative projections. [...]

[...] These are of course imaginary, but the image will help you understand the concept. [...]

[...] In one way Ruburt’s pyramid image is quite legitimate, for you and he are at the base, with Seth in the middle and myself at the top. [...]

[...] When you look into the mirror you see the camouflage image. [...]

[...] It is a symbol to express that portion of an unseeable self, that is brought most obviously into operation for purposes of manipulation of the physical image within a camouflage field.

Now when you, with your love of images, look at a face, relax for a moment. [...] You will see the face behind that face, the image of the person as it was in a past life.

First, again, you have various stages of, say, pseudomatter, of dream images, that only gradually—in those terms—coalesce and become physically viable, for there are endless varieties of “matter” between the matter that you recognize and the antimatter of physicists’ theories.

[...] What you really had in the beginning were images without form, slowly adopting form, blinking on and off, then stabilizing into forms that were as yet not completely physical. [...]

[...] All That Is has no one image, but is within all images—and in parentheses: (whether or not they are manifest). [...]

[...] His inner self-image is changing. [...]

Your motorcycle suggestions on their own are worth a barrel of gold, for the change in image it infers, and for other reasons. [...]

[...] He was poor in forming clear mental images, even as he was poor at seeing physical events.

[...] He suddenly realized that there was an advantage to be gained here, and he wanted to see immediately after his friend saw my image.

For now only, let him put aside images of himself walking. [...]

[...] The main image of yourself that you have held has, to a large extent, also closed your mind to these other probable interests and identifications. [...]

(All distortions and ugly images are now washed away by the infinite ocean of love and peace flowing through her, and it is so.

[...] Before I discuss your experience, the image that you saw, let me make a few preliminary remarks.

[...] The portion of the image that came closest to any semblance of reality was the region about the eyes, and the eyes themselves. [...]

[...] The eyes were the first images that you saw.

Again, I see the image of a clock, with ornate pattern about it, oval rather than round. [...]
