“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Some are more or less within the same level of consciousness, but the perceptual mechanisms are entirely different.

[...] It may be some sort of scientific device—I do not know, but it is a mechanical device.

[...] In the reality I know, I served in the ATC — the Air Transport Command — as an aircraft instrument specialist and mechanic, with the rank of staff sergeant. [...]

[...] In quantum mechanics this axiom maintains that it’s not possible to simultaneously ascertain the momentum and position of a subatomic wave-particle like an electron, say — electrons being one of the qualities that make up atoms. [...]

Exactly what were the mechanisms of such defense systems, as individuals used them? [...]

He is to realize that if he has any duty or purpose in life, it is indeed to express those very abilities (all very emphatically), since those abilities are so natural in his makeup, they also possess their own protective mechanisms. [...]

[...] For simplicity’s sake you may say that ideas are electric, in that they spark enzymes within the mechanism, that then automatically begin the work of physical construction, in line with inner expectations as outlined earlier.

[...] This makes him feel more a part of normal living, and sets his own creative mechanisms more vigorously into new directions. [...]

[...] You think that it is organized along mechanical lines, or absolute lines, or objective lines, and that any intents that you have exist almost in spite of the organization of the universe.

(One of the letters, from a doctor in Canada, referred us to an article in Scientific American in which a discussion of the many-worlds view of quantum mechanics clearly vindicated a number of Seth’s ideas. [...]

Feelings of spontaneity therefore automatically release the body mechanisms when they are allowed expression. [...]

[...] In fact it will help you, for even hidden within the flesh are mechanisms that [will] help the inner senses [to] operate even in this environment. [...]

[...] It is not a mechanism once created, then left to fend for itself. [...]

[...] Few would agree, however, that you can learn more about the nature of the universe by examining your own creativity than you can by examining the world through instruments — and here is exquisite irony, for you create the instruments of creativity, even while at the same time you often spout theories that deny to man all but the most mechanical of reactions.

[...] The loss of weight was partially a defense mechanism, for his mother grew stout. [...]

I was here to help Ruburt handle the mechanics of the affair, and to see how well he could do with such a highly focused trance. [...]

[...] It was the nature of your dreams, and your dreams’ creativity, that made you what you are, for otherwise you would have developed a mechanical-like language — had you developed one at all — that named designations, locations, and dealt with the most simple, objective reality: “I walked there. [...]

[...] These are natural interactions, and since you live in a world where, overall, people are healthy enough to contribute through labor, energy, and ideas, health is the dominating ingredient—but there are biological interactions between all physical bodies that are the basis for that health, and the mechanisms include the interactions of viruses, and even the periods of indisposition, that are not understood.

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. [...]

[...] You only perceive it as continuous; your perceptive mechanisms are not equipped to detect the pulsations. [...]

[...] If a portion of the race is hurt it may take a while before “you” feel the pain, but the entire unconscious mechanism of the species will try to heal the wound. [...]

[...] Physically, play develops their body mechanisms. [...]

(Finally, and perhaps prematurely: Left untapped so far in all of this is any material from Seth on whether the counterpart and family-of-consciousness mechanisms apply to other species. [...]
