“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] For all we know in ordinary conscious-mind terms at this “time,” there could be a third volume to the set (as Jane herself speculated in the 730th session, in Section 6), and a fourth and fifth….

[...] There are various titles, section numbers, and dates to keep in mind, so these passages may take some rereading.

[...] Keep in mind that these figures result from averages, and that the remaining 25 sessions would yield very similar results, since they include no extremes of brevity or length. [...]

I feel extremely cheered by the idea that Jane, simply by using her chosen physical apparatus and nonphysical mind, is consistently demonstrating abilities human beings are not supposed to possess. [...]

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.

[...] The body and mind both need stimuli, variety, and richness, and his nature automatically seeks expression, not repression.

[...] Our goal now is to simply speak our minds, if in a nice way, usually, to others, and let the chips fall where they may. [...]

(“Would you mind doing that?”)

Ruburt’s body is geared for full recovery now, so keep that joint determination in mind. [...]

As you read this session, however, try to see how those attitudes that I mentioned do clutter up your minds to some extent. [...]

[...] Minimize impediments in your mind and they do become minimized. Exaggerate impediments in your mind and in reality they will quickly adopt giant size.”

[...] His natural impulses naturally lead him toward the development of his body and mind, and he is aware of a cushioning effect and support as he acts in accordance with those inner impulses. [...]

[...] Children, however, are far more innocent, and though they respond to the ideas of their parents, still their minds are open and filled with curiosity. [...]

[...] Again, the reasons for such behavior are often quite clear in the child’s mind. [...]

[...] Again, the session should automatically help calm his mind and let the panic dissipate.

[...] The first thought that crossed my mind was that I didn’t have a suit to wear — just my corduroys. [...]

[...] At the same time however, implied in any such touches, in his mind also was the question “How far will this go?”

[...] Because he is presently a woman he will react strongly and aggressively if he feels you are drawing too far apart, for this would threaten your life and goals as much as children would—children in your minds being coming too close together. [...]

He feels therefore a strong division, in that his mind is acceptable, that you both value it, but that his body is unacceptable. [...]

[...] He felt you had divorced his body, but not you see his mind.

[...] Great energy is going into repair of the body, and the mind itself needed a rest. [...]

When you are involved in such work, it is handy to idly switch back and forth with no particular passage in mind, then often the first passage your eyes fall upon will be precisely seen, and yet its part in the whole also instantly apparent, so that the two visions merge.

[...] Ruburt’s intent was so strong to move away from the lighted cigarette that he ignored all impediments, and his unconscious mind beautifully followed his conscious mind’s intent. [...]

[...] But look beyond what you have seen and question it in your own minds. [...]

[...] He had a scientific turn of mind and will, I believe, help you in your experiments.

The void, in other terms, can therefore be compared to a mind, and who can predict what images or thoughts will be given birth there? [...]

This vast void, this infinite mind, came out of another that was greater than itself. [...]

[...] You would enjoy chores done then, for your body and mind would both be refreshed by the different activities.

[...] In our work we answer questions that are yours together, and yet questions that arise from the hearts and minds of many people—people like the woman who called this evening. [...]

(To me:) You imagine a quiet home in the country—the dream in that regard in your mind, knowing full well you have no intentions of using “valuable time” to mow grass, fix pipes or tend to furnaces. [...]

[...] Both ideas are idealized, sentimentalized and distorted in your minds, and either could be incorporated in your ideas of work if you were aware of the conflicts.

It is no coincidence that Ruburt does not possess a scientific vocabulary, though he does possess a scientific as well as intuitive mind. [...]

It is not to say that you cannot understand the nature of the universe to some extent, but the answers lie in the natures of your own minds, in the processes of individual creativity, in studies that ask questions like: “Where did this thought come from? [...]

When resting, and in a tranquil state of mind, he should simply imagine the limbs slowly stretching out, becoming somewhat longer, and then slowly returning to their original length. [...]

A portrait must contain a searching and a deep statement of the human condition, a reaching out toward the mystery that is another person, whether the person exists in your mind, or physical reality, or both. [...]

[...] When such thoughts come to mind, instead tell yourself that that trend of thought will not help your painting, but hinder it, and that it is constricting. [...]

[...] You must change the situation completely, for the better, in your own mind. [...] Do not keep checking against the physical reality that you know to see whether or not it has changed, for particularly in the beginning, this can lead you astray or make you feel you are getting nowhere; but if you change the situation in your own mind you will change it in physical reality. [...]

[...] I would like you, however, to realize the strong emotional content within your own mind and you in yours. [...]

Instead, you should see the pen you want in your mind, know that you will have a steady supply of them, recognize the statement you just made as leading away from your desire, and replacing it with a statement like the one you just made. [...]

Now these are merely a few ideas that come to mind, and while you hold them they form the reality in which you exist physically. [...]

Then I suggest we end the session, although I will answer any questions you have in mind.

[...] To that extent the dream that you remember is a snapshot of a larger event, taken by your conscious mind. [...]

[...] Your conscious mind is the director of that experience.

[...] I’ve had the question in mind ever since Seth discussed separate, childhood snapshots of Jane and me in the same terms during the first session for “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] We made up our minds quite effortlessly while being taken through it by a real estate agent. [...]

[...] Once you made up your minds to, you found your house — with characteristic swiftness, let me add, and you avoided several pitfalls.

The proximity of so many trees also has considerable health value, and to those doing psychic or other creative work the effects are particularly conducive to a peaceful state of mind. [...]
