“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This does not mean that such ideas are necessarily valid, you see, but in your system they certainly appear as such, due to the intensity with which they are held. This intensity brings forth the corresponding physical materialization which the senses then perceive, and the circle becomes complete.

[...] Certain ideas also are agreed upon and held so intensely that they mold much of physical activity simply because of the strong mental and psychic energy they engender.

The materialization is dependent upon the thought intensity behind it. [...]

[...] The intensity that first generated, say, a painting, continues to operate and there is new creation sparked in the interchange between such a painting and each observer of it.

[...] Almost all animals, plants, birds, insects, rocks and trees perceive according to intensities. (Long pause.) The intensity of an experience is their present; but in many ways that I will not explain to you at this point, their present is of wider duration than yours. [...] But in terms of quality and value fulfillment there is greater duration and the “moment,” in quotes, is more intensely perceived.

[...] But our next stage is to have a more expanded time value along with the intense perception or reaction the animals have now. We’ve given up some of that intensity because we’ve taken on more reality, but next we’ll get both more intensity and reality together.”)

[...] Each experience is highly intense, however. [...]

This has nothing to do with time, but with the intensity of any suggestion, and any countering suggestions. The most intensive will triumph, though there may be obstacles in its way.

[...] These wore off and were not renewed, and the intense resentment then emerged in the symptoms.

[...] Without intensive constructive suggestions before sleep the personality shows the status quo relationship of its condition, whatever it is. [...]

[...] We are not dealing with time, but intensities. Intense concentration to other areas, you see, will take him out of the habitual patterns.

The intensity of interest in other directions is much more important than time. We do not want intense concentration upon the symptoms. [...]

[...] The suggestions given, applied with intensity, can work wonders in a very brief time. [...]

These are reflected in the physical system, for it is geared, and naturally so, for intense action, and here he functions best. [...]

[...] Used in a projection, the same intensity of energy would allow results that could be proven without doubt, and accepted without reservation.

[...] His system is simply equipped more than most to handle and utilize high energy intensities.

Erratic use of high intensity energy can be disruptive to the system however, for the change of pace can be too abrupt. [...]

The nature of action causes depths in terms of intensities that you do not understand, but these intensities build up to the appearance of physical matter within your system.

Thoughts have what you may term color and shape, as well as electromagnetic structure and intensity. [...]

The structure has nothing to do with the intensity however. [...]

The intensity of the inner feeling is the dominating factor here. A sudden but intense feeling of hatred or resentment or fear may cause tragic physical circumstances, for example. A sudden and intense exaltation, however, will have the same immediate and literally astounding but opposite physical effect. [...]

[...] A variety of poor or negative feelings, however, of fairly low intensity, can add up to a general negative emotional climate, which projects itself outward into physical reality.

[...] Instead the dimensions of action have to do with intensities; not only the intensities of the electromagnetic components that compose them, but with intensities as they are translated into psychological terms. [...]

It is instead composed of the intensity with which it is felt by a given individual. [...] When you speak in terms of the depth of a psychological experience or action, you mean something else entirely, for this is a depth of intensity. And you travel through an experience only so far as your own experience of intensity will allow you.

The psychological feeling of intensity has its own electromagnetic reality. An action is an experienced intensity, and need not involve motion in physical terms. [...]

(Here Seth begins to elaborate on the material on electrical fields and intensities, given in the 120th to 130th sessions. [...]

[...] His consciousness left his body only after he was in the throes of what seemed to him to be inspiration of almost unbearable intensity. [...] In all such cases several qualities are apparent: an ability to look inward, to concentrate deeply, to lose the sharp edges of the physically oriented self in contemplation, and an intense desire to learn. [...]

[...] The sympathy brings with it a sensitivity that is strong, challenging and intense. Many individuals have experienced unusual, quite valid and intense expansions of consciousness, but found themselves unable to correlate the new knowledge with past beliefs, to make the changes necessary to handle the sensitivity. [...]

(Jane’s voice was still relatively quiet as she spoke for Seth, but her delivery was faster and much more intense now, and she used many gestures.)

[...] (Pause.) Intense expansions of consciousness by contrast to your normal state may appear to be cosmic in nature, but they barely hint at those possibilities of consciousness that are available to you now, much less begin to approach a true cosmic awareness.

[I] am writing down two dream experiences, each with some nightmare elements, though not too intense. [...]

[...] The experience seemed to last all night gradually deepening in intensity, without overt dramatic story line — there was material on the Mafia in its relationship to family and particularly in connection with women—this seemed to be the focus point. [...]

[...] Now basically the original intensity of the charge determines its duration in your time structure. The intensity of particular charges can completely reorganize the personality structure through changes in the RNA formations. (Long pause at 9:10.) Previous life memories, existing electronically and magnetically, may carry such intense charge that they superimpose themselves in the present physical structure, and form memory patterns quite alien to those of the present ego personality.

This would imply short-term memory you see, but this is not the case, for it is intensity and not duration that makes the difference. [...] In terms of intensity alone, both the foot and the hip symptoms were highly charged, representing of course degrees of immobility and withdrawal—learned, you see, from the mother: a memory reaction adopted without conscious thought.

The face, in intense (underlined) joy and in intense terror, may often be much the same, but the emotion still will speak within it, and you will know clearly despite the similarity of some muscular effects, which emotion is being expressed.

Between those extremes of terror and intense joy however, where the intensity itself can almost form the same sort of grimace, there are infinite varieties of emotions, these being reflected in every minute shadow and gesture.

[...] Therefore the question is yours with all the intense yearning to know within it. [...]

[...] Emotional intensities and significances compose the nature of events. In dreams you work with the kind of intensities involved, exploring multitudinous significances. [...]

Physically and psychically the dream itself is the result of the most precise kind of calculation and activity, in which complicated dramas and interactions occur, often highly charged and intense, and yet cut off from the body’s full participation. [...]

Experiences at predream levels occur at their own intensities. [...]

[...] Data must be of particular kinds of intensity before they register as physical matter, or are experienced as physical events. [...]

When you travel beyond a certain range of intensities, even psuedo-objects must vanish. [...] If it were possible, you would then travel through a range of intensities in which no camouflage existed. [...]

If a certain intensity is reached, however — a peak of intensity — then you could perceive the spacious present as it exists within your native system. [...]

[...] The observer is washed over by intensities. [...] This idea should help you understand experience in terms of intensities and projections or the movement of consciousness without necessarily motion through space.

[...] Existence has value in terms of intensities.

[...] It is highly equipped to combine with certain others, according to the various ranges of intensity that you may include. [...]

(9:27.) The intensity determines both the strength and the permanency of the physical image into which the thought or emotion will be materialized. [...]

[...] Now whenever you think emotionally of another person, you send out a counterpart of yourself, beneath the intensity of matter, but a definite form. [...]

[...] You can learn to follow it, but you are usually frightened of turning your attention away from its intense focus in three-dimensional existence. [...]

[...] The quality of the outlet will depend upon the intensity of these patterns, and the necessity or the degree of necessity, for their expression. [...]

[...] We have had quite intensive sessions for some time now, and I simply prefer that you are allowed a rest before your trip.

[...] In some cases this entails longer and more intensive sessions. [...]

[...] She felt “intensities” now in various parts of the room—notably by the built-in bookcase at the far end of the room from the windows. [...] The intensity traveled; now it was located in the blue wine decanter given to us by our friend Pete from San Diego, California.

[...] At first I thought she was tired and simply didn’t want a session, after the intense weekend we had just spent with Tam Mossman, from Prentice-Hall. [...]

(She felt strong intensities in the bathroom doorway; felt like she was a ghost, returning to the scene; everything was exceptionally vivid—so dear, so palpitating and alive. [...]

[...] But then another wave of intense emotion swept over her: “Ah, hon... [...]

[...] There is a more intense focus of concentration, high use of energy, a merging of capabilities, intent, direction, directly from the center of the self, that can be compared, properly used, to a laser.

[...] It turns on brightly and intensely, and has a boring quality. [...]

(At various times in the past I have heard Jane mention this same sort of intense focus in trance, but not to this extent previously.

[...] She continued, that it was because the same intense focus was partially used in the session tonight as in the last two sessions; Seth didn’t want her to overdo it, just to get used to it. [...]

[...] Remaining symptoms can be broken by intense concentration in other areas.

[...] You do not want any chronic lasting symptoms, even of lesser intensity, however. [...]

[...] His concentration is focused on a more intense stimuli. [...]

[...] Again, the mass is composed of electrical intensities. [...] The importance of the experience to the individual will be responsible for the intensity with which it is recorded.

The mass, generally speaking, is a denseness formed by the varying intensities. [...]

In the past we have spoken briefly concerning a tricky subject, the relationship of intensity and the nature of distance. [...]

They are only available however under certain circumstances, for each of them is coded within a specific intensity range. [...]
