“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt’s idea for the future is a good one—seeing those who officiate at such groups (Seth classes). You make your own reality, but you cannot ignore the greater reality from which your world springs. Even those people, therefore, who deny the validity of anything but the most materialistic philosophy, sometimes dream unmaterialistic dreams, and in their unguarded moments they sense the greater source from which their materialistic world springs.

Men and women who insist that emotions are simply psychological mechanisms cannot stop themselves now and then from a soaring of emotional comprehension that later makes their materialistic philosophy quite dull, dreary, and uncreative. Close their eyes as they will, such people are still presented nightly with dreams in which they are swayed by events that have no physical basis in the world of facts—and that is my answer to your question.

Jane and I have often been most intrigued by the obvious contradictions involved here, for what can the materialistic scientists use other than mind—or consciousness, that poor epiphenomenon—to study and dissect matter? [...] It’s also very ironic, I think, that the materialists spend years acquiring their specialized educations, and prestige, both of which they then use to inform us of the ultimate futility of all of our endeavors (including their own, of course). But for the materialists, the mind-brain duality isn’t scientific in the orthodox sense. [...]

[...] Man’s imagination seemed then to be allied with falsehood, unless its products could be turned to advantage in the materialistic existence. [...]

In a highly materialistic society, the loss of an expensive home and other material possessions is a matter of great practical and symbolic nature. [...]

[...] It is a kind of pseudo- image, materialistically speaking, but it has definite electromagnetic reality, and chemical properties.

[...] As in the Introductory Notes, I want to stress Jane’s role as the creative artist, disseminating her personal view of a larger inner reality, and her intuitive and conscious comprehension of at least some aspects of that reality; for such understanding can easily elude our Western-oriented, materialistic, technological outlook.

[...] There is no veil through which human perception cannot see, except the veil of ignorance which is pulled down by the materialistic ego.

[...] Although she’s not entirely in agreement with me on this point, I think that essentially Jane is a mystic—not an easy thing to be in our extroverted, materialistic society, for it represents a way of life that’s little understood these days. [...]
