“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He spoke honestly when he said that he considered it intellectual suicide to accept even the possibility of personal survival of death. The conflict brought him to a point where he simply could go no further intellectually, for the intellect would not follow where the intuitions led. [...]

In our sessions I use, with Ruburt’s permission, his intellectual abilities also (pause), in an organized fashion. [...]

It recognizes the answers given in the sessions as legitimate, and also that these answers involve intellectual as well as intuitional effort. [...]

[...] Intellectual and psychic obedience was much the safer road, and even the saints were slightly suspect. [...] Women were considered hysterics, aliens to the world of intellectual thought, swayed instead by incomprehensible womanish emotions. [...]

Your scientists are generally, now, intellectually oriented, believing in reason above the intuitions, taking it for granted that those qualities are opposites. [...]

[...] They might not ever appear intellectually to you. They might very well be felt and understood emotionally, however, or intuitively, once you cease habits of disapproval and constant intellectual questioning about such seemingly hidden motives for your actions. [...]

[...] You can even take it for granted that intellectually you may not know all of the reasons (underlined) for your own actions. [...]

(“Because of your individual and joint intuitive understanding and intellectual discrimination, you were able from an early age to clearly perceive the difficulties of your fellows. [...] You were able to do something few people can: leap intuitively and mentally above your own period — to discard intellectually and mentally, and sometimes emotionally, the shortsighted, unfortunate religious, scientific, and social beliefs of your fellows.

Even those of you who intellectually agree that you form your own reality find it difficult to accept emotionally in certain areas. [...]

When you realize this, then you can accept seeming setbacks, or seeming contradictions, with a calm detached air, realizing that such factors appear as they do only in the light of your present intellectual knowledge—a knowledge that must be limited to current events—and that in the larger picture known to you at other levels, such seeming contradictions, or seemingly unfortunate situations, or whatever, will be seen to be to your advantage. You do not have all the facts, you see, at that intellectual level, so if you base all of your judgments—all of your judgments—at that level alone, then you can be quite shortsighted.

[...] I told you that you possessed far more knowledge about your own lives, and the lives of others, than you were intellectually aware of.² You act on that knowledge, for one thing, when you are born physically, when you grow. [...]

[...] You know more about your life than you think you do—and far more about your life and society than you are intellectually aware of. [...]

[...] Seagull does not intellectually reach him—that is, it does not intellectually by itself inspire him, while the phenomena behind it does.

He has always been deeply concerned with the nature of reality, both from an intellectual and emotional standpoint, and where Seagull did not reach him personally, he was fascinated by the phenomena of belief behind it, and then was fascinated by the phenomena of belief behind the Lourdes healings.

Such philosophies are also deadening on an intellectual basis, for they must of necessity close out man’s great curiosity about the subjective matters that are his main concern. If life has no meaning, then nothing else really makes any difference, and intellectual curiosity itself also ends up withering on the vine.

(9:49.) The intellectual ideas of societies, therefore, also have a great effect upon which genetic systems are triggered, and which ones are not.

[...] Excellence (pause) in any given area—emotional, physical, intellectual, intuitional, scientific—is reflected in other areas, and by its mere existence serves as a model for achievement. [...]

[...] I have been in my many pasts an intellectual gentleman and a frivolous female. [...] and yet in that one particular life I learned more about the nature of spontaneity and joy than in many of my ponderous intellectual existences.

[...] An intellectual curiosity will give you some answers but it will not give you the deepest answers. [...]

[...] I have been, in my many pasts, an intellectual gentleman and a frivolous female. And yet I will tell you, that as a frivolous female who loved to play with a ball in the bright afternoon and had no chores to perform, seemingly an idle life and seemingly a quite useless personality—I was not burdened with intellect—and yet in that one particular life I learned more about the nature of spontaneity and joy than in many of my ponderous intellectual existences. [...]

[...] An intellectual curiosity will give you some answers but it will not give you the deepest answers. [...]

[...] Then make sure that Ruburt’s fears are vented, that he acknowledges them consciously and does not attempt to intellectualize them away. [...]

Once they are recognized then they can be met and dealt with, but they cannot be intellectualized away, and denied while smothering them and pretending that they do not exist.

Your particular society has set up such an artificial division between intuitional and intellectual knowledge that only the intellectually apparent is given credence. [...]

[...] You may simply dismiss such concepts as silly, for they seem intellectually scandalous to many. [...]

In certain circles now it is fashionable to deny the intellectual capacities in favor of feeling, sentiment, or intuitive actions. Intellectual concerns then become suspect, and recourse to reason is considered a failing. Instead, of course, intellectual and intuitive behavior should be beautifully blended. [...]

[...] To do this he felt he needed to exert caution, to emphasize his own doubts in order to make a bridge to those intellectuals who doubted, and yet maintain some freedom and spontaneity in order to reach those at the other end.

[...] The intellectual doubters could identify with his doubts, and yet be inspired by his freedom. [...]

The vast majority of intellectual deductions are based upon unconscious, intuitive realizations, and the edifices built by the intuitions have a dazzling framework of high intellectual content and reason, so brilliant that the mind itself often cannot follow.

[...] Therefore he tried to be either spontaneous or disciplined, or intellectual or intuitive, but with the implied supposition that these were somehow opposing conditions, or opposing elements of behavior.

[...] You must make an emotional bridge, for she will not understand an intellectual one. [...]

She will be much more content and pliable to reason if you can manage, regardless of your intellectual tendencies, to approach her in that light. [...]

With his intellectual appreciation of the benefits of fire that followed his physical mastery of it, then his dream universe became enriched with a new freedom. [...] That is, a concept may be brilliantly alive in the dream universe but unexpressed physically, or for one reason or another an intellectual comprehension in the physical universe may not find expression in the dream universe. [...]

[...] Physical constructions and inventions, purely in terms of a new intellectual comprehension of physical matter, have also transformed the nature of the dream universe, and enriched it, adding to the symbolistic freedoms possible there.

Earlier I mentioned fire, which was intellectually grasped by man and therefore materialized in the world of matter. [...]

[...] Intellectually you have no use for those beliefs but emotionally they are still a part of you. [...]

[...] Will you accept him as the emotional creature that he is, as you accept the intellectual creature that he is? [...]

Because of your individual and joint intuitive understanding and intellectual discrimination, you were able from an early age to clearly perceive the difficulties of your fellows. [...] You were able to do something few people can: leap intuitively and mentally above your own period—to discard intellectually and mentally, and sometimes emotionally, the shortsighted, unfortunate religious, scientific and social beliefs of your fellows.

[...] It does not matter if you think that any given contacts are “useless,” or that you do not reap intellectual benefits. [...]
