“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] You exist in more dimensions than you know and your own reality transcends your own understanding and intellect. [...]

It is not to minimize the importance of the intellect that I once again repeat: Inner reality will only be known directly through the inner self, and the inner senses. The intellect must deal and interpret the realities of camouflage existence, this being its purpose.

[...] This strains the intellect, and so I will say that in your practical terms, of which we have somewhat spoken in the past, there was what you may all refer to as a beginning, when strife and striving and a wish to be formed itself and gathered itself sufficiently together to form a contracted whole in which all possibilities were latent.

Then, re-reading some material I was struck by the massive intellect behind it, the real beauty of the material, and sad that I did not really let myself realize it before; indeed that I had allowed myself to be affected by the lesser writings of others; even to the extent that in some late sessions it affected the material. [...]

[...] The intuitions and the intellect are meant to challenge and develop each other, and intuitional knowledge and intellectual knowledge will ultimately lead to the same answers.

[...] The spiritualistic literature causes a needless conflict between his intellect and intuitions.

The intellect is highly important. [...] The intellect can be used most handily in tabulating our results, but it will not help us to get our results, unless it is utilized as a means toward discovering how best to harness the emotions for communication purposes.

[...] It was the intellect’s job to put such information to practical use, and thus the intuitions and the intellect worked hand in hand. [...]

[...] (Louder:) He will grow the flower of the intellect—a flower that must have its deep roots buried securely within the earth, and yet a flower that will send new psychic seeds outward, not only for itself but for the rest of nature, of which it is a part.

On the one hand, man did indeed feel that he had fallen from a high estate, because he remembered that earlier freedom of dream reality—a reality in which the other creatures were still to some degree (underlined) immersed.³ Man’s mind, incidentally, at that point had all the abilities that you now assign to it: the great capacity for contrast of imagination and intellect, the drive for objectivity and for subjectivity (softly), the full capacity for the development of language—a keen mind that was as brilliant in any caveman, say, as it is in any man on a modern street.

[...] Your intellect does not have to know the answers to all of your questions—but both of you use the last few suggestions I just gave you daily. The intellect feels the truth of such issues, even if it does not fully understand the inner reasons or technicalities involved. [...]

[...] You are accepting secondhand experience through your reading and through the use of your intellect and then attempting to apply it, but without the inner experimentation. [...]

[...] Not that in a past life you overused psychic abilities but that in this one you are intrigued by them but frightened also, and afraid that in using them you would be lead too far away from the intellect. [...]

Now you can speak against the intellect as say, it is not good to be too intellectual and we must be intuitive, and yet you do not do it. [...]

In one life the intellect may purposely be very high, and those powers of the mind carried as far as the individual can take them. These abilities are then studied thoroughly by the entire personality, both the benefits and the detrimental aspects of the intellect weighed carefully. [...]

[...] The desire for it is then born within them — if, for example, earlier they did not understand the purposes of the intellect. [...]

[...] Those given to love of the intellect often make an unnecessary separation between the world of concepts and that of the flesh.

[...] He has followed through by using the intellect, but the intuitional data, as always, provides the direct experience upon which the intellect can then work.

[...] The greatest kind of painting includes both the intuitions and the intellect, but in your terms this also requires the maturing of the high intellect. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Impulses are spontaneous, and you have been taught not to trust the spontaneous portions of your being, but to rely upon your reason and your intellect — which (amused) both operate, incidentally, quite spontaneously, by the way.

[...] As a people you are always examining your impulses, and yet you rarely examine the fruits of your intellects.

Sleepwalking was once, in that beginning, a very common experience—far more so than now—in which the inner self actually taught the physical body to walk, and hence presented the newly emerged physically oriented intellect from getting in its own way, asking too many questions that might otherwise impede the body’s smooth spontaneous motion.

[...] Again, lest there be a sharply inquiring intellect, wondering overmuch about how the words were formed or what motions were necessary, his drawing was in the same way automatic. [...]

The intellect does not know the answers. The intuitions can deliver within moments knowledge that the intellect struggles (with) for years, and may not acquire.

(Pause at 10:01.) Like many, however, he was brought up to believe that the intellect’s function was mainly to dissect, criticize, and analyze, rather than for instance to creatively unite and build, colon: and analysis was thought of as separating the elements of a concept rather than restricting original concepts. New concepts were thought of as intuitional or psychic, as opposed to the conventional duties of the intellect, so the two seemed separate. [...]

Actually, the intellect and intuitions go hand in hand. [...] What I call the high intellect then took over, a superb blend of intuitional and intellectual abilities working together so that they almost seem to form a new faculty (intently).

[...] This does not mean that the intellect is any less, but that it uses its abilities to help you form physical civilizations that are the reflections of mental, spiritual, and biological inner civilizations. [...]

[...] Make an effort to free your intellect of such hampering beliefs. [...]

[...] Your intellect as you think of it operates so clearly and precisely, so logically (with amusement), sometimes so arrogantly, because the intellect rides that great thrust of codified, “ancient,” “unconscious” power—the power of instant knowing that is a characteristic of the body consciousness (all very intently).

[...] In this state your intellect, intuitions, and entire being operate at a level that is really supranormal. [...]
