“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Keep this up with any other such images that you meet. [...] You can accept such images and play around with them or watch them to see what develops, but only if you realize they are hallucinations. [...]

[...] The nervous system reacts definitely to visual block images. Such images are received through the skin, as well as through the eyes. [...]

[...] But we must struggle to discover what these are as opposed to the hallucinatory images we set up ourselves against or superimposed upon this reality.

[...] If you will such images to disappear, they will, leaving you within the basic unhallucinated environment. [...]

[...] As Jane continued to talk, her image did slowly begin to change in the mirror. [...] The shoulders of the image in the mirror hunched over, and grew narrower. [...]

[...] “I cannot let you see the features of the image clearly. [...] The image is that of another entity…”

(“Now the three of you see your reflections in the mirror, just as you should… Now watch closely, for I am going to change Jane’s image in the mirror, I am going to replace it with another. [...]

[...] I saw her head turned down in the mirror; I also saw a shadow suffuse the mirror image. [...]

[...] They are carriers of pictures and images, and expectations—the threads with which you form the sparkling web of physical life.

[...] There is also a doctor, quite real; he is an image as yet unrecognized in Ruburt’s psyche, though he glimpsed him once. [...]

[...] In the same way that an idea may appear within your system as a thought, a mental image, a dream picture or as a physical object, so does any action-event appear in many forms.

The resulting thoughts and images in turn are expressed and affect others, and not only symbolically. [...]

Your physical image and your environment are exterior materializations that represent your interior action-events at any given time. [...]

[...] Jane said Seth was thinking of something having to do with moment points; she had some images, “like star shapes, only layered thick..”

(“What was the image our friend Bill Macdonnel saw in the rocking chair, in his bedroom in Niagara Falls, in December of 1961?”)

(“Seth, was this image conscious of Bill’s presence?”)

[...] When Bill saw the image and recognized its prescence, the fragment itself seemed to have a dream. [...]

[...] In this case the image concerned was a past fragment.

[...] When the dream gives you such an image, and the image becomes objectified, then you are of course showing a new part of yourself in the physical world, and bringing into expression through your physical hands the emotions that otherwise could not be expressed.

[...] I plan to do a small oil painting or two of the sketch I’ve done of Mrs. Johnson, plus another image of her that I hadn’t drawn at the time, but retain well.

[...] In a way, the woman is the other side of that image. [...]

[...] You could not have made the same points to yourself as well had the image been male, because of the beliefs that are ingrained in you. [...]

These are not images as you think of them but highly coded information, electromagnetically imprinted, that would not appear as images to the physical eye. [...]

[...] Then it is checked against the image of the body sent to it by the conscious self. [...] The body makes whatever changes are necessary in order to bring the two images in line with the present corporeal condition.

[...] They are created on a physical level through certain activations of the nerves in which the normal patterns are jumped, so to speak, and images are formed. [...]

[...] The body is so responsive to conscious thought that it has its own innate system of self-preservation and its own guiding image of fulfillment.

If the cells did not die and were not replenished, the physical image would not continue to exist, so now in the present, as you know it, your consciousness flickers about your ever-changing corporeal image.

[...] You are alive, therefore, in the midst of small deaths; portions of your own image crumble away moment by moment and are replaced, and you scarcely give the matter a thought. [...]

Now: In your present situation you arbitrarily consider yourselves to be dependent upon one given physical image: You identify yourself with your body.

[...] What you want to know, therefore, is what happens when your consciousness is directed away from physical reality, and when momentarily it seems to have no image to wear.

(Strangely enough, she had two good images while giving the inaccurate data, she said—one image for each set of data. [...] The second image was of the target shape also mentioned on page 255.

[...] It is a kind of pseudo- image, materialistically speaking, but it has definite electromagnetic reality, and chemical properties.

[...] They react to the chemical properties of the apparition, and build up the image from it—from them, the properties.

[...] The excess chemicals built up during the waking condition are used to help form the projecting images. [...]

Maturity has nothing to do with the meaning of the reptiles and mammals mentioned as dream images. [...] The reptilian images do not represent maturity nor immaturity, but are simply designations natural to a particular level of cellular consciousness.

[...] In sleep cellular consciousness often intrudes into the dream process, appearing in the form of dream images. Cellular consciousness is highly codified in actuality, much more emotional than visual, and the visual dream images are but translations of inner comprehensions. [...]

[...] Except in strong nightmare situations, they repress those images. [...]

Men repress many mammalian images in your particular civilization, because they do not want to be reminded of the female’s reproductive advantages. [...]

[...] This would apply whether the mental image was a fearful one or a joyful one. Now there is a very important problem here: If your turn of mind is highly intense and you think in vivid mental emotional images, these will be swiftly formed into physical events. [...]

The intensity of a feeling or thought or mental image is, therefore, the important element in determining its subsequent physical materialization.

[...] Simply go along with it and see what images or feelings or concepts it brings out in you. [...]

[...] Some of you were to be reminded of events and images that were extrememly important in your lives and that have connections with other lives and such was the memory that came into your mind. [...]

[...] And at home and in your dreams and in healing and in maintaining the effectiveness and integrity of your own physical image. [...]

[...] Ruburt quickly discovered that the public image of a psychic was quite different than that given to a writer, and so was the social image. [...]

(Long pause at 10:20.) The public image is bound to make him feel inferior if he takes it too seriously. [...] It is his public image as a psychic, of course, not as a writer, that here is the issue. [...]

[...] Yet she’d found this deep yearning snatched away with the advent of her psychic abilities—goodbye to all of those accepted reviews, the critical success, even the money, that would go along with the conventional acceptable public image of the successful writer of good quality poetry and/or fiction. [...]

[...] It is the public image as he thinks he has as a psychic that bothers him, more than the one he feels is lacking as a writer. [...]

[...] Simply for the sake of analogy, imagine the image, a humanoid one, of an entity giant-sized, spread out anywhere in your physical universe. And if the image were projected against a midnight sky, within its apparent boundaries then you would see a multitude of planets and stars. [...]

Now the image analogy is in some respects distortive, but good enough for our present purposes. [...]

[...] In our analogy, the projected image would seem to float, including ever-different stars and planets within its boundaries. [...]

[...] He may form images of dream cities or people that are of a very joyful nature, translate the emotion itself into whatever symbols are pertinent to him. An exuberance may be translated into images of playing animals, flying people, or animals or landscapes of great beauty. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) He may see images that are highly symbolic to him of joy or exuberance. [...]

[...] The feelings of joy now may lead to images of Christ, Buddha, or the prophets. [...]

[...] If we use joy as our example, all mental symbols and images of it would finally disappear. [...]

You can request that the thought content of your mind be translated into an intense image, symbolically representing individual thoughts and the overall mental landscape, then take out what you do not like and replace it with more positive images. [...]

[...] You can in the same manner perceive the state of your own physical image. [...]

[...] It is easier to form images, and they have a greater mobility. [...]

[...] You may evolve your own image of this state to help you, imagining it as a room or a pleasant landscape or platform. [...]

You perceived in a normal fashion, which should tell you that perception is not dependent upon the physical image. [...]

[...] You will know the plane is a dream image but be able to retain it for your convenience, so that you do not fear falling.

[...] If you think of a dog for example, quite unconsciously you form the image of a dog, which you do then perceive.

[...] Then imagine a new house being built there, of your preferred choice, with all new materials, of splendid design, and see this always in your mind where before you saw the previous image.

[...] In a matter of moments it may trigger you to think of events in your childhood, so that many mental images fly through your mind. You might wonder if your aunt will take an anticipated journey to Europe next year, and that thought might give birth to images of an imagined future. All of these thoughts and images will be colored by the emotions that are connected to the letter, and to all of the events with which you and your aunt have been involved.

[...] Events and images will spring to mind in an out-of-time context. [...]

[...] Tell yourself you are going to do so, and begin with the first thought or image that comes to mind. [...]

[...] In doing some of these exercises, you might come across images of masturbation, homosexual or lesbian encounters, or simply old sexual fantasies, and immediately backtrack because your beliefs may tell you that these are evil.

[...] She’d had an image of a “huge building with many rooms.”

(Jane said she had an image, an amusing but quite clear one, of a large arrow arching south over the continent toward Florida, so as to emphasize that location in relation to Uncle Ernie.

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 reality. [...]

[...] “I am confused between a metallic image, or the feeling of metal. [...] The metal image or feeling seems to predominate with the cubes. [...]

[...] The image also, hard to describe, of thin lines, coming down you see this way, almost in a flower-like movement.

The vague impression that it is a boy rather than a girl, and an initial R or B. Or, this is an image of someone, male, as a youngster who was born in 1936, or who is now 36 years old. [...]

I am confused between a metallic image, or the feeling of metal. [...]
