“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] You imagine that language and images are two different things, so you try to “put them together.” [...]

[...] In those terms, the world came into being and the species appeared in a completely different framework of activity than is imagined, and one that cannot be scientifically established — particularly within those boundaries with which science has protected itself.

[...] Physically the species appeared — all species appeared — in the same way that you might imagine all of the elements of a highly complicated dream suddenly coming alive with physical properties. [...]

[...] Imagining some great big-bang theory (to explain the creation of the universe) gives you an immense explosion of energy, that somehow turns into life but must wear out somewhere along the line — and if that were the case, life would be getting weaker all the time, but it is not. [...]

[...] Now imagine what these sounds would sound like from the other end. [...] And imagine the impact made within space, and the infinite dance of atoms that result.

[...] Imagine their realities in other than auditory ways.

You could imagine it for example as having a shape, but the shape would not be formed by matter, but by pattern masses; and all the multitudinous portions of it, the shapes on it, would be composed in terms of mass intensity. To bring this even clearer, you could even imagine that the whole inner universe was an organism, of which your universe represented but one small portion. [...]

[...] You also had unaccountable imaginations and you told wild tales. Those tales were carried by word-of-mouth by the travelers and some of these ended up in Persian folklore, so if you were houseboys, you were imaginative houseboys. [...]

I want first of all Ruburt, quite simply, to imagine your penis straight. [...]

This also serves to punish you for the resentment, since by not giving this more positive support, which incidentally is far more effective than you would imagine—you also to some degree help to hold back that which you both want so badly.

[...] A very weak analogy can be found if you imagine at one time hearing the most exciting and moving music imaginable, while simultaneously smelling the strongest but not necessarily unpleasant odor, viewing the most emotionally-charged scene while feeling intense and vivid bodily sensations. [...]

Since our imagined experience would depend upon all of the inner senses working together in a complex, near-perfect manner, that I doubt you could achieve at this stage. [...]

[...] Even a watered-down version of a direct inner experience is a shock to the outer ego on your plane, since the ego imagines itself and its own perceptions to be supreme. [...]

[...] Pollyanna as it may sound, you must each imagine Ruburt able to navigate, and take it for granted that the rest physically will follow, without trying to force the issue.

Any purpose is better than none, and any intended personalized threat is better than an existence in which no life is important enough to be individually threatened, so these imagined threats serve to convince our young man that his life must have meaning or purpose—otherwise others would not be so intent on destroying him. [...]

[...] A novelist, being himself or herself writing a book, will nevertheless imaginatively live the actions of all of its characters—the villain, the hero, the madman, the saint or whatever—and a true creative gestalt is involved. [...]

[...] The situation also allows him to use his creative abilities in terms of fantasy and imagination. [...]

[...] Your imagination adds motivating and propelling power to such images, and so you will find that many of your beliefs are entertained by you in an inner visual manner. [...]

[...] Your imagination will forge these together.

[...] Your move will be more effortless than you imagine, for you have both settled upon it. [...]

[...] Imagination allows you to enter into these planes, as when you imagine what another animal’s life would be.

[...] When I say I visit another plane you can imagine the following experience.

Imagine further that you actually experienced the feeling of such a furry coat, and all the other feline equipment from the inside. [...]

[...] Imagine a photograph of yourself (in parentheses: Yes, we are finally back to photographs).³ In your mind’s eye see the photograph of yourself on a table or desk. [...]

[...] Imagine that miniature image navigating in the physical room, then going outside, and quite an expanded world view will result.

[...] You imagine that only hallucinations are involved. [...]

[...] Tell yourself that you will even be aware of doing this while asleep, and imagine that you have a camera with you. [...]

(11:42.) Now Ruburt has been concentrating upon the symptoms, imagining this or that, often not responding to the moment as it is, but to imagined future events and moments filled with threat or difficulty. [...]

[...] You are also surrounded by imaginative events, however, here, in the terms of our discussion. [...]

[...] When you are learning to walk or swim you do not stop to think, “How am I doing this, will I meet a mean old fish or not, will I pull?” and you do not imagine the dire consequences that may, therefore, attend you and do not do so now. [...]

[...] Intellectually you try to imagine what I am and yet you should be trying to feel what you are. [...]

The gods do lie sleeping in the grasses but their sleep is a very active sleep indeed, and their dreams have more vitality than you have ever imagined. [...]

He should imagine himself, before he sleeps, indulging joyfully in the next day’s activities, and should not concentrate on his symptoms, even if it is to wish they disappear. [...]

[...] As he goes to sleep this evening, have him try imagining a scene in springtime, with him walking briskly or running. [...]

[...] There is one area you see where he (Leonard) is thus far entirely blocked, for he cannot love another person wholeheartedly, nor imagine himself in that position. [...]

[...] Many of the men involved were imagining how happy they would be in a medical building, and subconsciously hoping for an excuse to move into one. [...]

[...] However, the constant activity between Frameworks 1 and 2 is constantly apparent in the very existence of your world, and in the relationships involving your imagination, feelings, and beliefs, and those private and shared events that compose your experience.

On the other hand your intuitions follow a different kind of organization, as does your imagination — one involved with associations, an organization that unifies diverse elements and brings even known events together in a kind of unity that is often innocent of the limitations dictated by cause and effect. [...]

[...] Imagination belongs to the mind, not the brain. Instruments may be used to force imagination to move along in terms of its owner’s personal memories, but it cannot be forced to move along the lines of conceptual thoughts because the imagination is a connective between the physical individual and the nonphysical entity.

Then Seth told Rob to imagine a man looking at a tree in the near distance on an ordinary street, with intervening houses and sidewalks.

[...] He could be miles away, suddenly imagine this room, and instantaneously construct the chair. [...]

[...] Here we will imagine the weak pattern—form of the hose, and an individual perceiving the generalized pattern. [...]

[...] I put this down to imagination.

[...] This also is probably imagination.)
