“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] That was on her mind as she fell asleep. [...]

[...] “I wouldn’t mind hearing your boy comment on this,” I said to my wife.)

[...] Jane initiates information on “world views,” with examples: Seth defines that concept as “the view of reality” held in the immortal mind of each of us, the “living picture” that exists outside of time or space, and that can be perceived by others. [...]

[...] Your world view must include your beliefs about the body and the mind, about religion, history, and philosophy—and you stand as an entity, a psychological entity, in the center of this inner world.

[...] To me, redemption means a continuous search or journey, then, involving whatever events and interchanges we choose to create, for whatever purposes, along the way—and truly, I think, some of those purposes will involve things “the conscious mind may not be able presently to perceive.” [...] And we try to keep in our minds Seth’s statement that “your intellect does not have to know the answers to all of your questions.”

[...] And I still implicitly believe the quotation Seth gave on April 16, 1981, over a year ago now: “In that larger picture there are no errors, for each action, pleasant or not, will in its fashion be redeemed, both in relation to itself and … to a larger picture that the conscious mind may not be able presently to perceive.”

I am alive again,
remembering a thousand seasons,
arranging and rearranging
Aprils and Septembers
in my mind’s transparent vase
and placing it on the shelf
of my attention—
a miniature still life.

[...] But in each case where those framework interactions operate, they help each creation, each presence, each essence or vital principle fulfill “a larger picture that the conscious mind may not be able presently to perceive.” [...]

[...] And most older people avoid seriously considering what nuclear war would really mean for them, out of fear closing their minds to certain aspects of that psychic atmosphere.

Jane and I try to keep in mind Seth’s ideas, as well as our own, concerning the great challenges our species has chosen to deal with these days, but I must admit that we often have trouble doing so. [...]

[...] Nor can scientists tell us, any better than the religious-minded can, what life itself is, or where “it” came from, or where “it” may be going.

[...] More and more I’ve come to admire—revere, even—the single-minded, childlike devotion artists like Avery and Cézanne had for their art. [...]

[...] You should perhaps realize by now that the inner self, the mind and its components, is composed or forms a unitary force field of its own.

[...] The interaction between body and mind is always present. [...]

[...] If such past memories are consciously recovered, as they have been, the closed mind of the academic psychologist will not see what he has, but will suppose the overworked imagination responsible. [...]

[...] In these cases the mind behind the brain operates as always. [...]

[...] The money in the bank is helpful, but if your daily environment is not conducive to your work and peace of mind, then the money security is meaningless. [...]

[...] I am telling you that of the houses in your mind it really makes little difference which one you choose. [...]

[...] If not there is quite a psychological connection between the man who died and this Father Doren in Ruburt’s mind.

The rigidity was in his mind however and not in yours, and he knows this now. [...]

Yet most of what I wrote in Appendix 12 is still valid, to my mind, even though I’ve always wanted to expand (and expound?) upon all of it. [...]

But why, I asked Jane, haven’t our best minds—at least those who have operated throughout the centuries of our recorded history—been able to arrive at some sort of reasonable consensus about the “origin” of our universe (if it had one), its processes, and our human place in it? [...]

[...] The world is seen as a patient, sick in body, insane of mind, a thing that needs treatment, a Freudian and Darwinian monster. [...]

[...] Such exercises state and reinforce your intent, reinforce it through physical action, and the relaxation will set you free in your psychic endeavors, bringing your nightly dreams into clearer focus, because you are setting up consciously a better relationship between your mind and your body.

[...] You are so used to believing that there is a conscious mind that you call the will, and an unconscious mind whose intents are unknown to you, and seemingly not yours, that you, meaning people in general, are unaware of your own will, your own desire, your own intent. [...]

[...] A closed mind will perceive none of this.

[...] I described what I had experienced, not knowing if I had accomplished anything even remotely approaching what he had in mind. [...]

[...] And the secret that you try so hard to hide from your conscious mind is not that terrible a secret. [...]

[...] Can you see it in your mind’s eye?

(Joan Grant is evidently a well-known English medium, and her husband, Denys Kelsey, a practicing psychiatrist who tells of some remarkable successes in treating patients, while keeping in mind the role reincarnation can play in present “living” personality patterns.

[...] I also had in mind that should it seem necessary I could suggest that things too strongly charged could be temporarily forgotten upon awakening. [...]

[...] A lively discussion resulted, but no countering opinion could enter this man’s mind. [...]

[...] I didn’t have any of that in mind before the session — but at my table tonight I did get some things from him that he never mentioned….”)

[...] Ruburt used painting as an art in the dream rather than writing (pause), because it symbolized your joint ideas of art—to some extent, now—and allowed him to have you in his mind as he viewed the dream events.

[...] There seems to be a D here—the name of David comes to mind, and the Star of Israel, which may mean that the competitor is Jewish.

I do not intend to give a treatise upon the biological structures of the body and their interworkings, but only to add such information in that line that is not currently known, and is otherwise important to the ideas I have in mind. [...]
