“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

True questioning and true use of the critical faculties will always lead Ruburt, to intuitional truths, so there is no reason to fear them. Those who do not understand their abilities intellectually must one day be led to question them. The intuitions and the intellect are meant to challenge and develop each other, and intuitional knowledge and intellectual knowledge will ultimately lead to the same answers.

The conscious had to appreciate in quite real terms its dependence upon intuitional wisdom. There had to be agreement and unity. The conscious self was not to be left by the wayside, wondering while the intuitional abilities led to fulfillment. The conscious intellectual faculties had to realize what was operating in order that they themselves be fulfilled.

And I repeat, he should indeed stay away from spiritualistic literature. Not because there is anything basically wrong with it, but because it presents him with a dilemma. He knows intuitively what he knows. Intellectually he will catch up with this. The spiritualistic literature causes a needless conflict between his intellect and intuitions.

You must know enough to speak nearly as an equal with your inner self in order to do this. The process had finally to become conscious in your terms, with the ego highly involved. The intuitive portions of the personality had to have the full cooperation of the intellectual and conscious self at this point in your development and I am speaking of you both here.

He has as you know excellent intuitive abilities. In the past in his poetry the intuitive abilities were somewhat isolated. [...]

He could not deny the intuitive self, so it became the self who wrote poetry. [...] The feminine image meant instability, intuitions that could lead into unrespectable by-ways, and emotions that were not intellectually restrained.

The intuitive portions of himself he has always considered as feminine. [...]

[...] He puts his intuitions in as intellectual terms as possible. [...]

Some of my material is difficult to accept intuitively and intellectually at one time. You may intuitively grasp a point and intellectually not understand it, or the other way around. But Ruburt insists that he intellectually and intuitively understand each point, and agree with it, or it puts him in the position of publicizing ideas when he is not a hundred percent certain of their validity, and he considers this to some degree dishonest. [...]

Because they were formed at a time before the intellectual and intuitive abilities developed, and were not a problem until the intellectual and intuitive abilities seemed to come upon a system of thought that was in opposition to the underlying emotional beliefs. [...]

[...] In the past any intuitive thoughts he felt but could not prove were put into his fiction. [...]

[...] He greatly enjoys the psychic and intuitive experience itself, the going ahead, but he becomes worried after that point as to how the ideas will be used and interpreted.

Until then the ego and the intuitive self had not come into conflict, as far as basic philosophy was concerned. The intuitive self presented the ego however with a new line of development that it was not prepared to follow.

[...] Ruburt’s ego would have avoided the questions and taken the easy road, and this easy road would not have developed the full potentials that were necessary if the personality were to use its creative and intuitional abilities in any important manner.

[...] (Pause.) Through easy success, through in fact a far more shallow route, but the intuitive self would have suffered drastically in your future, and there would have been severe difficulties.

[...] They also serve as intuitional springboards, opening up channels through which insights can flow. [...]

[...] In many cases intellectual truth follows intuitive truth. You know intuitively. [...]

[...] And I have given material that is highly intuitional that will be understood and used by people who know how to use their intuitions. [...]

[...] He is too intuitive, however, and, indeed, too good. [...]

[...] And I have been intuitively brilliant and I have been emotionally dumb. [...]

[...] They must, therefore, be used in exciting creative ways having to do with his intuitions, intellect, and creative work.

The intuitive self is now freed enough to make this possible, and provide the way, you see. [...]

[...] If it is poor, the sleep is poor, and the inner intuitions denied their therapeutic functions.

[...] When the intuitions are allowed freedom you see they therapeutically aid the personality in sleep and refresh it. [...]

[...] While the inner self is aware of this connection, the present self has been fooling itself to some degree, for it did not accept the intuitional knowledge. [...]

[...] But the fact that the conception was accidental, and the death was accidental, has its own intuitive logic.

(As Seth talked the witness felt a series of intuitive jolts that led her to believe the information was good. [...]

Both of you realize this intuitively. (Long pause.) As personalities however you have worked out your relationship. [...]

There seems to be a division between science and religion, for even organized religion has an intuitive basis. The male scientist is often ashamed of using his intuitions, for not only do they appear to be unscientific, but female as well. [...]

In your present framework, because of the male-female specialization — the male orientation, the implication that the ego is male while the psyche is female — you force upon yourselves great divisions in which operationally the intellect seems separate from the intuitions, and you set up a situation in which opposites seem to apply where there are none. [...]

[...] Therefore they are more apt to combine reason and emotion, intuitions and intellect, and in so doing invent theories that reconcile previous contradictions. [...]

[...] The world felt the result of his great intuitive abilities, and of his devotion.

It was indeed intuitive and psychic connections that brought me here, and it will be intuitive and psychic connections that finally cause Ruburt to accept me wholeheartedly.

[...] Regardless of what he believes about himself, his complete belief in me will only be arrived at intuitively and emotionally.

[...] Intellectual acceptance of me as a complete survival personality will follow the intuitive knowledge. [...]

I will bring about the circumstances with his intuitive help.

Then the mind, the intellect, alters its focus, using its abilities automatically for intuitive ends, and its questioning abilities are freed from endless queries from the outside, so to speak, and it joins with the intuitions, seeking its answers freely in that greater realm.

(10:05.) It is very possible that you would have found the emotional aura at least vaguely unpleasant on some occasions—so Ruburt always tried, because of his own feelings as well as yours, to be intuitional and intellectual at the same time. [...]

[...] The high intellect or spacious mind is a combination of what you think of as psychic or intuitional, and intellectual qualities—only raised to a much higher degree, and united.

[...] It would carry him where intuitively he knows he can go.

In certain circles now it is fashionable to deny the intellectual capacities in favor of feeling, sentiment, or intuitive actions. [...] Instead, of course, intellectual and intuitive behavior should be beautifully blended. [...]

[...] Again, the male who was intuitive or artistically gifted in certain ways often therefore considered himself homosexual, whether or not he was, because his emotional and mental characteristics seem to fit the female rather than the male sex.

[...] Because the intellect and the emotions were considered so separately, however, attempts to express intuitive abilities often resulted in, and often do result in, “unreasonable” behavior.

[...] Males ruled both (they still do), and yet those leading religious organizations at least recognized their intuitive base. [...]

Intuitively Ruburt blazed through such beliefs—intuitively—and his books and mine are evidence of that. Intuitional knowledge and conscious assimilation are some poles apart, at least in your society. Both of you found it quite necessary to take a strong conscious, critical look at the material from the beginning, for your trainings told you, in the terms that you understood them, that the “subconscious” could be very misleading, though creative, and that therefore you must critically examine any intuitive productions that profess themselves to stand as truths rather than as creative fictions in your world.

Your immediate situation and all past ones, regardless of personal fears, which should not be discounted, result from Ruburt’s until-now determined decision to stand critically apart from his intuitional knowledge. [...]

(A true use of Personal Reality would be to use it like a bible – although not slavishly – but such use would unite the critical and intuitional faculties. [...]

[...] Thusly, Ruburt felt that there were contradictions between spontaneity and discipline, the intuitions and the intellect. 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.

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.

[...] New intuitional insights grow while he is not thinking in those terms, and if he trusted his nature more fully he could enjoy the painting more while also realizing that other levels of the self had their own reasons. [...]

[...] They were designed specifically for him and his nature, for when he forgets about work, with its connotations for him, then he is at his most intuitively creative, and inspiration springs naturally and quickly at his beckoning.

The crisis would have developed on the condition that Ruburt tried to use and develop his spontaneous and intuitive abilities on an adult basis. [...]

His necessary job was to combine the two, for in him the intuitions and intellect are both strong. [...]

[...] Otherwise there would have been an extremely rigorous personality, with intuition very strong but firmly held at bay; or a highly disorganized spontaneous personality frittering away its energies without direction.

[...] The World as Idea Construction came to him, beside its extrasensory origin, subconsciously, with an exploding effect to save him, because he had so put the lid upon his creative activities after Rebellers, that he had effectively blocked the intuitive self.

The ego itself in many instances cannot experience directly certain intuitions and psychological experiences, but it can experience them insofar as it can be aware of them on an intellectual basis. When training forces the ego to become too rigid, and to limit its perception of other realities, then the intuitions will not be accepted by the ego because intuitional experience will not fit into the framework of reality as the ego sees it.

[...] We want to bring intuitional comprehension to a point where the ego will accept it.

(10:40.) To some extent or another, your intuitions acquaint you with the fact that you have your own place in the universe, and that the universe itself is well-disposed toward you. The intuitions speak of your unique and vital part in the fabric of that universe. The intuitions know that the universe bends in your direction. [...]

Nor do I mean to agree with those who ask you to use your intuitions and feelings at the expense of your reason. [...]

On the other hand your intuitions follow a different kind of organization, as does your imagination — one involved with associations, an organization that unifies diverse elements and brings even known events together in a kind of unity that is often innocent of the limitations dictated by cause and effect. [...]

[...] Intuitively and creatively new avenues will be opened to you. [...] And the point, buried somewhat in the past, came to light of consciousness, for within intuitively the necessary connections had already been made.

These remained until another intuitive realization (tonight) would free him. [...]

We will begin then when the intuitive time is right.

[...] Intuitively you also provided clues that he needed this evening, but he was also ready to put them together.

It will be written to the intuitions and the emotions, and so it will be done somewhat differently. Intuitive truths, as Ruburt should know, can also be revealed in other than highly intellectual ways. Some will intuitively understand the material far better than others who may grasp it intellectually but without emotional comprehension.

The attitude however could automatically make the material unavailable to many who need it, can understand it intuitively, and will use it well. [...]

It is from the bank of knowledge then that I can relate to others, and they realize intuitively that on such occasions I am not speaking down to them. [...]

[...] As it is you have no real conscious conception in any meaningful way of what I will tell you; and yet you are using intuitional and emotional depths that you have not allowed yourself to use before, and I will tell you, when you are finished, the reasons.

[...] His writing ability has always been based on intuitive leaps. In fiction and poetry he allowed himself this intuitive freedom, but he was afraid to apply it to the real physical universe. [...]

There were two worlds to him instead of one, and he would not apply his intuitions to physical life directly. [...]

[...] You do not realize the extent to which your own intuitive abilities have been awakened by your contact with Ruburt. [...]

[...] You will still learn to give yourself, your intuitions, the upper hand in your work, Joseph, so that the form and the technique, so beautifully plastered, is secondary, and flows automatically from the idea.

The man to whom I have referred is approximately 62, but filled with energy, and would have intuitive understanding of your work. [...]

(All of the data in this session is very good, very accurate, incidentally, summing up nicely feelings, intuitions, hunches, etc., that I have had. [...]

[...] The intuitions of course will have guided the hand.

I am not suggesting that you relinquish conscious concern and control, but you will be amazed at how the intuitive self will use your hands, and to your conscious advantage, in experiments.
