“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“The insight that flashed into my consciousness was that human beings haven’t changed either, really, that our more complicated mental processes only make it seem that we have. Coupled with this is the idea that magic, as we call it, reflects a basic part of our natural mental equipment and abilities, but that our present course of action, our focusing upon the material and the intellectual — the ‘reasonable’ portions of our psyche — has created artificial divisions, in which magic seems quite ‘unreasonable’ or unreal.

[...] This is a mental and psychic exercise, undertaken by many, demanding great concentration, and is no more hallucinatory than any existence.

[...] He accelerates mentally to a certain degree, and that puts him in touch with me — an additional energy source. [...]

[...] Biologically, mentally, and spiritually you are marked as apart from all others, and no cloak of conventionality can ever hide that unutterable uniqueness. [...]

[...] Whatever their status, Jane and I take heart from the letters sent us by many thousands of readers, who have time and again explained how they put the Seth material to use in very positive physical and mental ways. [...] We hope that eventually our “fan mail” will serve as the foundation for a study concerning the ways in which society reacts to new ideas, through the viewpoints, say, of science, philosophy and psychology, religion, the “occult,” skepticism, generalized deep curiosity, and mental illness. [...]

[...] We did not appear to be mentally sharp. [...]

(Unknown to Jane, until I told her after the session, was my mental commitment to build a F. M. tuner and amplifier.

Any experience at all, whether mental or physical, also carries an electric and magnetic reality, so that the experience of any given individual is held in a sort of electric code within the cells. [...]

[...] Therefore, the physical organism reacts to this continuous unconscious mental activity in the form of continuing dream experiences, whether or not the individual is awake or asleep. [...]

According to Seth, poor health is caused mainly by destructive mental and feeling patterns that directly affect the body because of the particular range within the electromagnetic system in which they fall. [...]

Illness must be treated primarily by changing the basic mental habits. [...]

[...] By now, you should realize that they have an electromagnetic reality also and that the mental enzymes act as sparks, setting off inner reactions. [...]

(And with that, in an altered state of consciousness, Jane began delivering last Monday evening the material from the book she mentally saw. [...]

(Emphatically:) There is great energy, however, in those who have persevered enough to become generally known in their time, and the great impetus of that psychic and mental energy does not cease at death, but continues. [...]

(Oddly enough, the original pages of the James material that Jane saw mentally during the 717th session [and later presented in Chapter 6 of Psychic Politics] never appeared in Afterdeath Journal. [...]

All thoughts, as mental or electric actions, do not necessarily so appear by any means. [...]

[...] The problems have already been worked out on a mental or psychic level, but not yet physically materialized.

These include emotional processes, of course, mental ones, emotional ones, and constant transformation of energy from one form into another. [...]

[...] They are afraid to some extent of being sued for such a purpose because they themselves dwell in a mental situation in which threats are everywhere, in which all precautions must be taken. [...]

As you sit reading this book in your present moment of time, you are positioned in the center of a cosmic web of probabilities that is affected by your slightest mental or emotional act.

[...] The nature of mental activities will follow different lines, and “continuity” in terms of time will not exist. [...]

[...] Yet it is far better, and more practical ultimately, to concentrate upon the beneficial elements of civilization — far better to organize your thoughts in areas of accomplishment than to make mental lists of man’s deficiencies and lacks.

[...] Our encounters initially take place, then, beyond the sphere that deals exclusively with either your physical world or the inner mental and psychic realm from which your present experience springs.

[...] I saw very clearly the front upstairs bedroom in which he slept, and the bed in which he died as a boy of 9. I made a very quick sketch of this mental picture with a ballpoint pen. [...]

(At this moment I had a mental picture of the sign outside the shop; I was wondering whether Seth could now tell us more about it.)
