“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The more intense the characteristic experience of reality, the greater the chemical excess that is built up. [...] The more intense the individual the hotter the fire, so to speak, and the greater the chemical excesses that must be released.

[...] Periods of intense activity may also then generate this additional chemical propellant. [...] Although this necessary chemical fuel is generated through intense activity of a mental or psychic nature, it is released, making projections possible in alternating periods of quietude and rest.

[...] Periods of especially intense psychic and mental activity can help you achieve projections. [...]

[...] The intensity of the communication is dependent upon the emotional intensity behind it, although the phrase “emotional intensity” may be misleading.

[...] February 9, and of my waking experience the next evening.¹ Both events had involved intense perceptions of color and/or light, and I’d told Jane that anything Seth cared to say about them would be most welcome. [...] In those NDE’s, as they’re called, people have often reported encounters with intense white light. [...]

[...] Each unit of consciousness, whatever its degree, is, again, composed of energy—and that energy manifests itself with a kind of light that is not physically perceived: a light that is basically, now, far more intense than any physical variety, and a light from which all colors emerge.

[...] I managed to carry off the painting this time—merely giving impressions of the colors and foregoing their fantastic intensities and patterns. [...]

[...] But while these lights were ‘only’ white, they were both warm and cool, indescribable in their intensity, and really contained all colors.

There is an involvement that would seem, would seem, intense. The ego appears to be extremely intense, but to a large degree this is a deception, for the intenseness is caused by the attempt of the ego not to become involved with action, unless the ego can dominate action. [...] The personality does not basically recognize or trust the ability of the inner self, and this results in an intense inhibited fear.

[...] Nevertheless this intensification is a pretense that one part of the self plays upon the other part, for the very intensity of the emotional reaction on the part of the ego to even small stimuli, allows the ego to say to itself “I feel deeply, therefore I know the depths of myself.” [...]

In other words the apparent intensity of the egotistical reactions is a sham on the part of the ego, to hide the fact that it refuses to become involved with action as a whole, because it fears for its permanence. [...]

(Now I did mention to Jane perhaps the overriding question I have, and have often puzzled about: the intensity of her personality’s response to the idea of the Sinful Self. [...]

[...] Here you have a rather intense situation. [...]

[...] It concerns Ruburt’s mother, and her own intensity of reaction.”)

[...] The more intense the characteristic experience of reality, the greater the chemical excess that is built up. [...] The more intense the individual, the hotter the fire, so to speak, and the greater the chemical excesses released.

[...] Periods of intense activity may also generate this additional chemical propellant. [...] On the one hand, the chemical excess is built up as a result of great intensity, and in the latter case it is built up because psychic and sexual release has not been granted.

[...] In our early sessions, I mentioned that intensity regulated the ‘duration’ of experience. [...]

[...] These vary in intensity, type and even duration as any other experiences vary. [...]

The physical objects are made or constructed of the same pseudomaterial that radiates outward from the physical image, only the higher intensity mass is different. [...] At low intensity mass it is not apparent to you.

[...] The intensity of a thought or image largely determines the immediacy of its physical materialization. [...]

[...] The intensity may be too weak. [...]

[...] There is always impetus, action, and motion; that is, of intensities and not of space.

[...] As the intensity of the emotion fades, so it seems to you that it recedes in time. [...] Intense emotions within the dream state are experienced as present time, and the personality moves easily through these emotional intensities without experiencing the sense of passing time, although any given dream may contain within it its own time element.

[...] The true reality of distance as you know it is dependent upon the intensity of emotion, and has nothing to do with your idea of space. The emotion which is intense is felt at its peak as present in time, and immediately here in terms of distance.

[...] Intensity governs not only their activity and size, but the relative strength of their magnetic nature. They will draw other such units to them, for example, according to the intensity of the emotional tone of the particular consciousness at any given “point.”

[...] But there are also fluctuations in normal waking consciousness, rhythms of intense activity followed by a much less active period of consciousness.

[...] In many ways it can be said that consciousness does indeed flicker, and varies in intensities. [...]

[...] Such manifestations in the electric field are much more powerful, in terms of intensity per mass unit, than anything you know. [...]

Now again: regardless of current scientific thought, there are at least three different kinds of electric force which your scientists have not yet discovered, and one of these has much to do with the intensity of thoughts as they are formed in the intangible mind, and translated to the physical brain and then into action, as the case may be.

The physical body, in other words, exists as an electrical body that is not material, that has a peculiar mass but no weight, whose characteristics are apparent in terms of not varying shapes, but varying intensities and concentrations of electric force. [...]

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

[...] That is, the vividness of any given experience in terms of intensity will be far more important than anything else.

[...] By limiting many otherwise available perceptions it forces you to focus upon what you can perceive with greater intensity.

[...] It is a natural recovery, a natural development in response to Ruburt’s intense desire now to be responsive.

Their intensity gives them the appearance of mass, but there is no matter involved here, only electrical intensities, so swift that what you have is instantaneous motion and infinite electrical intensities.

[...] The energy itself is so intense that it would seem that their size was considerable, but this is not the case.

[...] Jane possessed strong emotional memories regarding the funeral, and clairvoyant knowledge of the envelope object in some form; evidently Seth responded to, or deliberately chose, what he perceived as the stronger intensities pertaining to Aunt Ella’s funeral over the object itself.

We shall be doing some intensive study shortly. [...]

[...] But there isn’t any one psychedelic experience for all, either in terms of time or content — the whole thing is too intensely personal. [...]

In your terms probable events are brought into actuality by utilizing the body’s nerve structure through certain intensities of will or conscious belief.

[...] (Suddenly very intense and fast:) At other levels of psychic activity however such knowledge is also available to you, but only when you disconnect your experience from the time-activated neuronal structure — and this you can do through various alterations of consciousness, often quite spontaneously adopted.

[...] In such cases the intensity of the initially nonphysical event is enough to break through normal neuronal patterns.

[...] The electrical reality of emotions and thoughts represents a thought dimension that has been completely neglected; and in it there are other dimensions; as within your field there is apparent space and time and height and thickness, so in the electrical system there is intensity and what I will call space reality, electrical mass and potentiality, which is different from intensity and polarity.

[...] The original experience, then, again, is an electric one, and the effects are instantly felt by the human system, according to the original intensity of the charge. [...]

We have spoken, saying that the ego has a relatively small but intense focus. [...] The concentration however and the focus is much more intense than that with which you are familiar.

[...] He is not as capable of intense concentration within as large a perspective as that possessed by your ego.

[...] But he picked up fully your emotional recognition and fear, and these were translated or perceived by him in his own fashion, so that to him you appeared as a mass of varying colors, and as movement of severe intensity.

[...] For the intensity behind the perception reminded you of the unswerving attention often displayed in animals: a complete lack of trickery as it is understood by you.

[...] In psychic terms also there is something that can be loosely explained in terms of spatial relationships, but having to do with intensities. A strong intensity of a particular nature can give you the feeling of clutter or lack of space. [...]

[...] Though love’s expression brilliantly illuminates its instant, at the same time that momentary brilliance contains within it an intensity that defies time, and is somehow eternal.

[...] He lived at an intense peak of psychic and biological experience, and enjoyed a sense of creative excitement that in those terms only existed when the species was new.
