“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] She also felt that Ruburt was a poor woman to begin with, in a way, because the intellect and femininity did not seem to mix—that is, Ruburt’s mother considered them odd components.

[...] It is of great benefit that perceptions from the inner senses do not remain in the subconscious but become available to the intellect, and I will go into this at a future date.

The physical organism also has capabilities and freedoms which it uses constantly, and of which the intellect is not yet aware.

[...] More adjustments are made by the physical organism than you know, and when I say that it exists in many fields, I mean that it actually not only appears within them, but is a part of them in an intimate manner, that the physical organism as it is materialized within your universe is actually a coming together and merging that has its existence, and is a blending of data from many planes, that would be considered foreign by the intellect.

[...] If you will forgive me, the excellent material means automatically, however, that many people with excellent intellects are naturally drawn to it, and some of the minds that will be important in following years are already acquainted with the material, or will be. [...]

This is not meant to discourage the intellect, but the intellect has never yet been used for the purpose for which it was developed. [...]

The intellect is extremely important in the manipulation of camouflage patterns once they are created. You have made your world, and your intellect should help you deal with what you have created. [...]

We are not attempting to enlighten the intuitions at the expense of the intellect. We are attempting to work in such a manner that added knowledge from the intuitional inner self is also made known to the intellect.

The ego however is not an afterthought disconnected from the whole self, and when the intellect becomes aware of data given to it by the intuitions or the inner self, it is then capable of informing the ego, which then changes its attitude accordingly. [...]

Remember again that the intellect can see only so far, and that it uses the cause-and-effect kind of logic, while magical events leapfrog that kind of orientation. [...]

One believes that the conscious mind and the intellect have all the answers, but to this school this means that the conscious mind is analytical above all, and that it can find all the answers through reason alone. [...] Intellect and feeling together make up your existence, but the fallacy is particularly in the belief that the aware mind must be analytical above all, as opposed to, for example, the understanding or assimilation of intuitive psychic knowledge.

[...] There are truths which the intellect cannot perceive, but the intellect knows the ego, and represents a firm and reliable pathway between the inner self and the ego; and psychic experience—I repeat, psychic experience—will not suffer from such scrutiny.

[...] Fight with them or love them but use and experience them, not only with your intellect but with your feelings.

[...] Success does not necessarily involve great intellect or great position or great wealth; it has to do with inner integrity. [...]

[...] However the intellect is also a portion, or an attribute, of the ego.

In other positions it is the ego and intellect that suffer most, and since our purpose is to enlighten them as much as possible, this is not to our advantage.

Now, the session in the last class (see Note 3) was a combination of the most sophisticated and the most primitive, for the English words, in your terms, are understood by the proud intellect that rises above the shoulders so securely. [...]

[...] Seth discussed many of his basic concepts, the wedding of the intellect and the intuitions, his reality and our camouflage physical one, Seth Two, language, myth, and so forth. [...]

[...] He used little common sense, and was overly emotional, reading signs where there were none, and ignoring the fine intellect that he had even then.

[...] If you would but once give up the defenses that you have set between what you think of as your intellect and what you think of as the rest of the self. [...]

[...] Certainly I am not telling you to ignore the intellect. But you do often ignore the playfulness of the intellect, and force it to become something less than it is.

[...] Ben is afraid of the intellect. [...]

[...] His intellect and intuitions spontaneously operate together. [...]

[...] The intellect wouldn’t dare give too much leeway to the psychic expression, while at the same time being fascinated by the affair and wanting to study it all. But the intellect would insist upon keeping rigid control, fearing that if Jane let her spontaneous self hold sway that it would go whole hog psychically, in the worst way, and destroy all other elements and activities of the personality.”

His intellect is a fine one, and should have no quarrel at all with our sessions. [...]

His work with the material can and should weld his emotions and intellect together in a strong powerful force, but not when he attempts to copy others, or on his own uses words that personally annoy him, to express or interpret the material to others.

[...] They must, therefore, be used in exciting creative ways having to do with his intuitions, intellect, and creative work.

It is only when you dam them up that they appear to be opposed to the intellect, or overwhelming. [...]
