“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When you find yourself as alert, responsive, and intellectual in the dream state as you are in waking life, it becomes impossible to operate within the old framework. [...]

(Very actively delivered:) In your current beliefs, again, consciousness is equated in very limited terms with your conception of intellectual behavior: you consider this to be a peak of mental achievement, growing from the “undifferentiated” perceptions of childhood, and returning ignominiously to them again in old age. [...]

The physical organism itself then, even as you know it, exists and moves and reacts and influences, and is influenced by, many fields or planes of actuality; and its existence as you know it in your universe is determined by and dependent upon its existence within other fields, of which man is still intellectually ignorant.

There are automatic processes that are constantly carried out by the body, of which you are intellectually unaware. [...]

[...] Your behavior has been most helpful, and that behavior is the result of a new acknowledgment on your part of a belief system—a belief system that you have intellectually accepted for some time—one that you are now beginning to emotionally understand and accept.

The fears were never granted validity, however, though sometimes given vague intellectual recognition. [...]

Your own joint sexual love was too hot for either of you to handle, and you both tempered it with intellectualism and caution; but for all of that it has endured. [...]

And each of you—  you (Joel) and you (Alison) and you (Florence) for I do discriminate, and Ruburt are so jealously concerned for these intellects, so jealous of the intellectual power that they would kill some poor little innocent flower just to see what made the thing grow. [...]

[...] And I am telling you this because I do not want you to so intellectualize your present experiences that you become overly concerned and lose their spontaneity. [...]

My first purpose, therefore, is to make you aware of the inner identity of which you are part, and to clear away some of the intellectual and superstitious debris that prevents you from recognizing your own potentialities and freedom. [...]

In many such cases the individuals involved are highly intellectual, and possess obvious gifts that are, however, seldom put to full use. [...]

[...] It will not be an intellectual matter of thinking that you are a part of All That Is. [...]

If this strikes you as too intellectual a method, then you can also work backward from your emotions to your beliefs. [...]

[...] Either write down your beliefs as they come to you, or make lists of your intellectual and emotional assumptions. [...]

[...] The knowledge is symbolic in terms that you do not yet intellectually understand. [...]

[...] You have our Lady of Florence to thank that there are classes here, for Ruburt would not think of them in the beginning, and it was our friend, who you think is too intellectual and not intuitional, who suggested the classes in the first place to Ruburt and opened his mind so that he would follow my suggestions. [...]

[...] Now you think of a concept in terms of an idea, which you can only understand in intellectual terms. However, the fourth inner sense involves again direct cognition, only now of a concept in much more than you would call intellectual terms.

[...] Using psychological time, sit in a quiet room; and I hope this is not impossible, when an idea comes to you, and I presume it will, do not play with it intellectually. [...]

However the human element must not be ignored, and whatever personal help and inner understanding this material brings to others will incite their intellectual curiosity, and this is all to the good. [...]

The personality also contains good intellectual capacities, and he should examine psychic experience in the light of his intelligence also. [...]

(Actually, Jane continued, she found the material on probabilities intellectually stimulating, while wondering about its emotional connotations — the inferences that she was but one of countless billions of creatures, “blinking on and off like lights in all of those probable worlds …” What value was there to the tiny individual? [...]

[...] Most individuals, for example, develop intellectually or emotionally or physically, ignoring to a large degree the body’s and the mind’s full potential. [...]

[...] Again, these ideas alone can help you, so that to some degree you can emotionally and intellectually sense that greater godhood out of which personhood emerges.

[...] You understand many issues intellectually, but have not gained their emotional comprehension. [...]

[...] By the time you are an adult, however, you have been taught to disconnect your identity from your feelings as much as possible, and to think of your personhood in terms of your intellectual orientation. [...]

None of that is the intellect’s concern at an intellectual level. [...]

[...] You have various gradations of intellectuals; you have various gradations of those who are willing to express some emotions; you have some of those who are willing to disappear at the drop of a hat, and I am looking at no one in particular. [...]

[...] And when you come to class from now on I will expect to find you all here, not just the physical self, not just the intellectual self, not just the portions of yourself that you term, psychically inclined, but the emotional self. [...]

[...] He is thinking of us on an intellectual level now. Concentrating, but trying too hard intellectually. [...]

You should be able to see that Ruburt has grown intellectually, emotionally, and psychically, as a result of the sessions, as have you. [...]

[...] Each of your beliefs, therefore, has its own unique origin and feeling patterns, so you must for yourself travel back through your beliefs and your own feelings until intellectually and emotionally you realize your rightness, your completely original existence in time and space as you know it.

[...] Each of you must intellectually and emotionally accept it, however.

[...] I am not, therefore, putting the intellectual capacities in the background—but I am saying that they emerge as you know them because of the dreaming self’s uninterrupted use of the full power of the united intellect and intuitions.

The intellectual abilities as you know them (pause) cannot compare to those greater capacities that are a part of your own inner reality.

(Jane’s intellectual reluctance to wholeheartedly accept the sessions and all they implied.)
