“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It is perhaps easier to imagine a continuum of consciousness, for you have a body consciousness also, and that body consciousness is itself made up of the individual consciousness of each molecule that forms all parts of the body itself.

One was that because objects just originate in man’s imagination anyway, there’s always a strong connection between objects and man’s dreams. [...]

[...] The entire idea of nuclear power was first a dream—an act of the imagination on the part of private individuals—and then through fiction and the arts a dream on the part of many people. [...]

(“Later when I took a brief nap I mentally imagined myself beating the black-haired dog—and my mental right arm really went bang, bang, bang, banging wooden blocks on the dog’s head really fast, and for a minute I couldn’t stop it. [...]

Now, it is extreme egotism to imagine that you can only be alive if you have a body. [...]

[...] Now, read it and let yourselves be, let your imagination follow where the material leads you. [...]

[...] Follow those thoughts and as you read the material in the same way let your imagination take wing. [...]

When falling off to sleep for example, imagine that you are in your yard, in another room of your apartment, or in front of the house. [...]

[...] In some dreams individuals see what they imagine to be the image of their own dead self. [...]

[...] Now they do have much more than an imaginative reality, and they do possess consciousness, but a fragmentary consciousness, that can however further develop.

Again, this was more than imagination. [...]

[...] It is not all right to imagine that their kind speaks for the hostile world, or that they represent the views of many people. [...]

[...] Few threats are directly physical in comparison with all of the imagined or actual social or cultural ones. [...]

[...] If he imagines himself easily and playfully, now, mounting the stairs or going down, this will help. He must not tell himself “The next time I will do it right,” but do it as a game, imaginatively.

The belief is that if you frighten yourself badly enough through imagined projections and imagination, you will be frightened enough to change—but the nation or the individual following that method does not change for the better, but compounds the original condition, concentrates upon it until it looms larger than before. [...]

[...] It would help if at those levels he imagined his body as plastoid, always in a state of change, as fluid as his thoughts, and not so much a physical thing. [...]

[...] Actually, I agree with that statement, while also being quite aware of my own humanness and the numerous pitfalls, real and imagined, that could stand between my performance and feeling as an individual and that greater state where there isn’t anything to fear. [...]

Almost all such instances (underlined) involve thoughts nearly conscious, conscious, or just below consciousness, in which you have projected imagined unfortunate situations into the future. [...]

I am not talking about imagining that you are younger than you are, but of being the self that you are, as you always have been despite whatever age you were. [...]

It is easy perhaps at times to have regrets, to wish that curiosity, the love of learning, the desire for knowledge, and yearning to help your fellow men (was Seth a bit amused here?) had not gone quite so far, and to imagine that had it not Ruburt would be in excellent physical condition, and no one would miss the work that then would not exist.

[...] He did not, however, imagine himself, for example, falling, except I believe in one or two very brief thoughts. [...]

[...] When you think of a possible destruction of your planet, you imagine perhaps the mutilation of nature as you know it, the species changed. Or you imagine the race of man vanishing, or starting all over again as it were from scratch.

[...] Imagine a line drawn from the point of your inner vision, coming from the inner eye you seem to be using, outward. [...]

Electromagnetic properties are drawn into the black hole, and accelerated beyond imagination. [...]

[...] You imagine your universe as extending outward in space (and backwards in time). [...]

[...] Hanging up, he closed his eyes and imagined energy being sent out from a universal source through his own body, and directed toward the person in need. [...]

[...] If you did not understand the change in qualities of space, you might imagine that the whole planet was a giant volcano.

You imagine that your own earth is mapped out, and all frontiers known, but the linear aspects of your planet’s life represent a most minute portion of its reality.

Perhaps if you imagine a spotlight directed on the seat in front of the tree, you will see this more clearly. [...] If others watched and saw only that portion of the self that was clear in their perspective, then they would imagine that they saw the primary self also.

[...] All identities are more dependent upon each other, and yet more independent, than you imagine.

[...] Imagine portraying the idea in various ways. First however imagine that the particular idea itself has the psychological structure of a triangle.

Now imagine the idea, not of triangle, but the idea which has the shape of a triangle, being then expressed in architecture, in a philosophical dissertation, in color, in a sculpture, in a poem, in a painting, in music, and also in so-called natural phenomena such as the shape of a rock, the angle of a shadow, a portion of a crystal, a tree branch.

[...] Then thought, nearly crying: I cut down desire—like loving to shop, and am afraid now to mix with people—then said Rob would help me there—in decent walking shape surely my attitude would be entirely different—so different it’s hard for me to imagine then to the importance that I make distinctions between the natural world; and the social or cultural one. [...]

This does not mean that they are imaginative in those terms usually used. [...]

[...] As convenient aids you will find yourselves imagining, for example, open windows through which you will seem to travel. [...]

[...] You should indeed imagine yourself, therefore, able to handle your energy effectively for your own good and the good of others; to imagine yourself as a channel through which the creativity of the universe can express itself. [...]
