“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Ruburt simply identified with too-small a portion of himself, not realizing that left alone his abilities would draw from Framework 2 all that was required for their fulfillment—all of the impulses, desires, and circumstances. [...]

“Nerve impulses travel outward from the body, invisibly along these nerve pathways in much the same manner that they travel within the body. The pathways are carriers of telepathic thoughts, impulses, and desires that travel outward from any given self, altering seemingly objective events.”

“In a very real manner, events or objects are actually focal points where highly charged psychic impulses are transformed into something that can be physically perceived: a breakthrough into matter. When such highly charged impulses intersect or coincide, matter is formed. [...]

There is a need within man to feel and express heroic impulses. [...]

[...] Many, picking up those paperbacks, do so on impulse, and are unfamiliar with any such books. [...]

[...] What Ruburt experiences however as soreness is the vital sensation of renewed impulse and activity and use. [...]

[...] This was literally interpreted, and all other impulses systematically denied until, say, a shopping endeavor like today’s must be first thought out as good or bad. [...]

[...] These were apparent also because at the same time he had begun going out more, giving in some to previously denied impulses, and putting himself in positions that he had not before. [...]

(I had no idea of the script’s contents when I wrote it out on impulse. [...]

Impulses therefore will be allowed a more natural expression, as the daily stretching of the muscles adds to his trust of them and of his body.

[...] His natural impulses naturally lead him toward the development of his body and mind, and he is aware of a cushioning effect and support as he acts in accordance with those inner impulses. [...]

[...] Impulses arise again to go out—for dinner, to mix with others, to a bar.

When they do emerge, those impulses, he is the one who, after having conquered the earlier fears, finally, hesitantly trying to test his courage, suggests such an endeavor. [...]

When such communications are made, therefore, they often consist of inspiration, intuition, impulses, and deal with feeling far more than with usual logical thinking.

2. I’m presenting the private portion of tonight’s session for two reasons: Seth comments a bit upon the creative production of the sessions, and he shows how we can habitually impose upon our physical selves our conscious ideas of what we “should be doing”—not paying enough attention to our impulsive, natural, bodily messages.

[...] He forgot, once again, that the creative self is aware of his entire life, and that his impulses have a creative purpose.

[...] None of your impulses are meaningless. [...] Spontaneity as you understand it now, in the light of your knowledge, can only add to your work, for it is not meaningless license, nor is it composed of impulses contrary to your work. [...]

[...] I also had to learn that her literal cast of mind grows directly out of her mysticism, and that because it does, she can be quite impulsive. [...] Whatever reservations she shows—her conscious inhibition of impulses, for example—are learned devices that are literally protective in nature. [...]

[...] We must activate our impulses and desires, try out our abilities, seek out our strengths by joyfully advancing into the given world of physical energy, physical time and space. [...]

Generally speaking, the process began when he had the impulses to walk unaided this autumn, and rightly followed through. [...]

[...] The child does not consciously exercise his or her legs so that they will be strong, but simply joyfully follows the inner impulse to do so. [...]

[...] The natural impulses were allowed their free play. [...]

[...] I do not tell you this to make you feel badly, only to show you once again that you should trust your impulses, because in your particular case your ego has overbuilt its defenses.

Your impulse at the time was the same as Jane’s, if you remember, but you were afraid of the practical aspects. [...]

Ruburt sensed the growing explosion with your parents, sensed the frigid growth of your ego, and impulsively had to do something. [...]

[...] Your father represents a most tragic example of impulse frozen into inactivity, and practicality which was never practical but molded him into immobility, his powers so encased by fear that he could not manipulate in the physical environment at all.

The spontaneous self when it did escape, you see, managed to do so only under circumstances where the explosive impulses shattered their way through. [...] The old fear of spontaneity returned, and the methodical attempt to deny subconscious impulses; the old feeling of unworthiness was also activated, and the body duly denied. [...]

There is nothing wrong with the kidneys, but with the suppression of impulse. He has conditioned himself not to feel the impulse, so that when he is aware of it, in your terms, it is too late. [...]

[...] By looking at your own life, you can quite easily discover in what areas your own abilities lie by following the shape of your own impulses and inclinations. [...]

[...] The inner ego, as action, thrusts in an inward direction; that is, back toward the originating impulse. [...]

Tension is action’s inherent impulse to know itself through further action. [...]

Spontaneity of impulse must be encouraged. [...]
