“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It should be remembered that the intellect, in the light of this book, is as perfect then as any other manifestation of what is termed divine spirit. The intellect has been trained unfortunately to deal almost exclusively with the results of sense data. [...]

[...] Nevertheless for others there are steps that must be followed through, and following these steps through brings the whole personality, including the intellect, to a more balanced understanding, which is my goal. [...]

[...] It has been during the annals of history, but many of those fashions also indisputably, and with the best of intentions, managed to give a faulty picture: you ended up with your gods and demons, unwieldy methods and cults, and often with the intellect downgraded. [...]

[...] The normal intellect, oriented so precisely by beliefs to the inevitability of a one-focused kind of perception, is limited.

(Long pause at 11:05, eyes closed.) Experience with the spacious mind dissolves any seeming conflicts that occur between the intellect and the intuitions at other levels. [...]

[...] The intellect should help you understand this power plant, so that you can switch your power where it is needed. The intellect should operate like an x-ray, enabling you to see inward.

(Pause.) There has been on the one hand a too-great reliance upon the conscious mind — while its characteristics and mechanisms were misunderstood — so that proponents of the “conscious-reasoning-mind-above-all” theories advocate a use of intellect and reasoning powers, while not recognizing their source in the inner self.

[...] These theories hold that the intellect and usual consciousness are far inferior to the inner “unconscious” portions of being, and that all the answers are hidden from view. [...]

This was not always the case, but in too many instances my intellect has been held back by the stubbornness of his ego. [...]

[...] That is the result of the body’s magical reasoning — for the body reasons so quickly, so clearly and concisely (pause), that its deductions, its logic, are far too fast for the intellect to follow. [...]

[...] You are, instead, allowing your intellect to be driven by subconscious rationalization. [...]

[...] Now the intellect can be used and should be used beautifully to help you in your search but not when you use it as a shield to protect yourself against true reality. [...]

[...] The intellect simply will not be able to contain the data. [...]

[...] The intellect will never, alone, convince the emotions of any fact.

The tapestry of your own existence is simply such that the three-dimensional intellect cannot behold it. [...]

[...] Yet as the approach of the scientific age appeared, before its blossoming, so new tendencies are now showing that do indeed signal a new era, in which the emotions and intellect are no longer regarded as opposing tendencies in man.

[...] I am making an attempt to verbalize concepts that almost defy the edges of the intellect, unless that intellect is thoroughly reinforced by the intuition’s strength. [...]

(To Tom:) Now you must stretch your intellect as well as your intuitions. [...] You can use your intellect now in ways that you could not earlier.

You can use your intellect and your emotions. [...]

[...] They will satisfy neither the intellect nor the soul. [...]

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

[...] Now success does not necessarily involve great intellect or great position or great wealth, it has to do with inner integrity, remember that. [...]

Seth’s intellect and abilities are far beyond Ruburt’s, and with Seth as you think of him, I can to some degree directly communicate. [...]

[...] I use the term purposefully, for it confounds the dictates of your adult reasoning, and perhaps by so confounding what you think of as reason, I may manage to arouse within you a hint of what I refer to as the higher intellect.

[...] And this is a personality that you have set up for yourself because behind it all in the French court you glorified in the use of words, in the high play of intellect in what now to you would seem to be surface, artificial qualities of stereotyped verbal behavior. [...]

[...] Begin with your intellect and then leap over to feeling the concepts, and go along and merge with them. [...]
