“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There has been one rather remarkable improvement in Ruburt’s performance: getting to his feet. That is the result of the body’s magical reasoning — for the body reasons so quickly, so clearly and concisely (pause), that its deductions, its logic, are far too fast for the intellect to follow. The body reasons directly. The body’s reasoning transforms itself into action, with nothing to stand between its elegant logic and the (pause) logic’s brilliant execution. Ruburt could not possibly follow all of the manipulations necessary so that the recent improvements could take place. Again, bodily efforts are as magical, as creative, certainly, as the writing of a book or a poem (intently) — but Ruburt in the past trusted his creative abilities as if they were something he had to guard from his physical self.

THE BODY’S REASONING AS LOGIC. BELIEF SYSTEMS.

But remember, all of you, that your reality is structured not in logical terms as you think of logic, but that your most chaotic dream, our redhead over here (Sheila), the most important symbolic episode and experiences that you have that seem so unstructured to you, and you do not understand them; that these have their own inner structure that is intuitive and you understand that structure very well whether or not you consciously admit that recognition. [...]

[...] A sense of privacy is always respected here, but also realize the sacred nature of spontaneity and of your own feelings, and do not make logical deductions now. You can make logical deductions when you discuss what happened, and you can be as critical as you want to be. [...]

[...] You are not supposed to come up with a logical definition of what Sumari is or what you are doing. [...]

I do not need you to agree with my logic. I need you to understand the faulty quality in your own logic, and that must come from yourself and not from me. [...]

[...] In larger terms, there is no such thing as destruction; and your second question does not follow logically from the first one. [...]

([Ron:] “Yes, but I don’t necessarily agree with the logic of your answers.”)

“I kept looking for a logic that would explain life. [...]

[...] You cannot logically, mathematically explain such emotional reality.

[...] On the other hand the impulse might appear as a normal, logical change of plan.

[...] That “breakthrough” cannot be logically explained, but only compared to, say, an illumination — that is, a light everywhere occurring at once, that became a medium for life in your terms. [...]

[...] The body is responding in its own way, and with its own sense of order, its own inner spontaneous logic. [...]

Remember again that the intellect can see only so far, and that it uses the cause-and-effect kind of logic, while magical events leapfrog that kind of orientation. [...]

[...] Logically there may be little connection between them, but intuitively the connections are clear. [...]

[...] Again, the logical connections will be lacking, but the entire episode will be connected by this emotion.

[...] Again, the logical sequence is not present, but the intuitive creation will change the symbols much in the way that an artist might change his colors.

[...] Logical thought, using usual definitions, deals with cause and effect, and depends upon a straight sequence of time for its framework. [...] According to logical thought and language you may say: “I am going to a party today because I was invited last week, and said I would attend.” [...] That does not make sense in terms of logical thought or language, for in the last example cause and effect would exist simultaneously — or worse, the effect would exist before the cause.

I will not say that there was, simply in order to make the material appear more logical, since only appearances can be made logical because they deal with, that is appearances deal with, data that you are physically equipped to handle.

[...] You create outer senses to perceive the appearances, and so what you perceive through the outer senses seems logical indeed. [...]

The intellect forces you to interpret data in a highly specialized way for the use of the physical organism; and while adopted particularly because of the time structure, your kind of intellect only has value within your particular kind of time structure, and its type of logical thought is much slower and limiting. [...]

[...] When you discover that their “logic” in quotes is far more effective and meaningful, and purposeful, your attitude will change.

The brain however often does not see the inner logic of the emotion’s reoccurrence, or the inner connections that make it again pertinent. [...]

[...] As a rule, men in your society believe themselves logical while women are considered intuitive. Women, now trying to assert their rights, often fall into the same trap, but backwards — trying to deny what they think of as inferior intuitive elements for what they think of as superior logical ones.

Use your conscious mind and its logic. [...]

[...] You cannot expect a girl to show “strong, logical thought development” when she is taught that a woman is intuitional — that the intuitions are opposed to logic, and that she must be feminine, or nonlogical, at all costs. [...]

[...] The male seems to perform better at mathematical tasks, and so-called logical mental activity, while the female performs better in a social context, in value development and personal relationships. [...]

Because you have very limited ideas of what logic is, it seems to you that the dreaming self is not critical, or “logical”; yet it works with amazing discrimination, sifting data, sending some to certain portions of the body, and structuring memory. [...] These are not only intuitively based, but formed with a logic far surpassing your ideas of that quality. [...]

[...] The vocal sounds of the Sumari language and characteristics as they are presently apparent to you will, hopefully, lead toward these clearly understood but logically unstructured sounds that are recognized by the organism and by the inner self, but ignored by the reasoning conscious mind that focuses upon the logical language.

[...] More than this, intuitive information can be given through this method that quite escapes the limitations of logically structured verbal pattern. [...]

[...] He identifies with what he thinks of as his logical thought, and the abilities of reasoning. [...] He does not identify, again, with the processes that make his logical thinking possible. Those processes are spontaneous and ‘unconscious,’ so it appears that anything outside of his conscious control must be undisciplined or chaotic, and lacking in all logic.

“It seems so hilariously logical that the Sumari, who are creators, would want to ‘merge’ with a family more prone to organization,⁴ to come up with what they would need to spread ideas: movable type. [...]

[...] And the thought of families of consciousness merging for different reasons — even while I accept that all of this is put in very limited terms — seems to have such perfect inner logic and delightful playfulness about it that I launch into the mergings notion with all kinds of questions, and impressions exploding outward.

[...] (Pause.) Its properties are psychological, following the logic of the psyche, and all of the physical properties that you understand are reflections of those deeper issues. [...]

The universe expands, as I have said before, as an idea expands; and as sentences are built upon words, in your terms, and paragraphs upon sentences, and as each retains its own logic and continuity and evidence within that framework, so do all the portions of the universe appear to you also with the same cohesiveness (dash) — meaning continuity and order. [...]

[...] I told you that he felt emotionally deprived, whether or not this seemed logical—that he felt uncherished, whether or not that seemed logical.

[...] Ruburt’s natural person is highly spontaneous, creative, imaginative, with an excellent intellect, natural habits of working with a spontaneous rhythm—a rhythm that follows its own internal, logical and intuitive order. [...]

[...] It did not see that then previous questions that it had set, that it had asked, led inevitably to intuitive answers and to psychic experience, and for some time it refused to see this, in quotes “quite logical” consistency. For the psychic development made logical sense as well.

[...] (Pause.) But he did not even do this with any true (underlined) logic, while he distrusted himself, or distrusted the intuitive and revelationary (underlined) aspect of the material. [...]
