“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When your eyes are open, do not take it for granted that only the immediately perceivable objects exist. [...]

[...] Now, they can perceive physical objects. [...]

[...] Events and objects are not absolute, remember, but plastic. [...]

[...] You are used to dealing with concepts, so that your thinking is not restricted, for example, to the mental naming of an object—but you also inquire as to its origin, its meaning, its class. [...]

At that time you acquire the language of your people, and you learn to use mental concepts in a rather specialized way, and to further designate objects more specifically. [...]

When I say “You create your own reality through your thoughts,” you, meaning anyone, have a tendency to imagine each thought as a small brick, a psychological object, each one being formed into the structure of your experience. [...]

For our object, a mirror, or something that reflects, as a very shiny surface. [...]

The buckle, or belt, or similar object, is a gift I believe to Dr. Instream. [...]

Close by him now a small box with a miscellany of objects. [...]

[...] He knows the emotional situation with your mother, and will not object.

[...] He is aware of light and shadow, of shape and form, though he must learn to distinguish these portions from the available field of reality that you accept as objects, from the available field that you do not accept as objects.

[...] In your case (underlined) the relative position of objects within the imaginary painting may possibly be important also, objects in the foreground perhaps being more immediate. [...]

Many sessions ago I gave you some information concerning painting the viewpoint, and suggestions also as to how to approach a natural object, to become it. (400, 401 sessions.) You can also imagine how that natural object would appear to others of various ages and temperaments, or to me, or how curious it would seem to someone who does not dwell within your own system. [...]

[...] Dream objects are

(Pause at 9:40.) Now it is meaningless to call such dreams or dream places hallucinations, for they are representations of definite “objective” realities that you cannot perceive as yet in their own guise. [...]

[...] It is true that in the dream state and in some other levels of existence close to your own, there is strong individual play in the creation of images, and a magnificent use of symbolism, but all of this takes place, again, in an “objective” definite environment, an environment whose characteristics make such phenomena possible — a field of activity, then, with its own rules. [...]

Now: The rules within physical reality say that objects appear to be stationary and permanent. [...]

I am going to tie this in with material dealing with the differences that you seem to see in one particular object. [...] It is not to be explained by saying that one man sees a given object differently than another because of a particular mood that may assail him.

Generally speaking however, no physical object can be constructed, and no action can occur, without what you are pleased to call suggestion. No action and no material object can be perceived without inner consent and willingness. [...]

[...] What I have recorded here is done with the utmost effort towards objectivity. [...]

[...] No material object of any kind is formed without the cooperation and without the inner consent of the atoms and molecules that compose it. [...]

[...] Its nature can never be examined from an objective viewpoint. The objective viewpoint will, at best, give but hints and signs. [...]

[...] On a reduced scale, she said, she was again aware of the concept of action without object, dealt with at some length in the notes to the last session.

(Pause at 9:57.) When that answer came, it involved previously unimaginable leaps of divine inspiration, and it occurred thusly: All That Is searched through the truly infinite assortment of its incredible progeny to see what conditions were needed for this even more magnificent dream, this dream of a freedom of objectivity. [...] When All That Is, in your terms, put all of those conditions together it saw, of course, in a flash, the mental creation of those objective worlds that would be needed—and as it imagined those worlds, in your terms, they were physically created.

The first “object” was an almost unendurable mass, though it had no weight, and it exploded, instantaneously beginning processes that formed the universe—but no time was involved. The process that you might imagine took up eons occurred in the twinkling of an eye, and the initial objective materialization of the massive thought of All That Is burst into reality. [...]

[...] When the worlds, yours and others, were thus created, there was indeed an explosion of unimaginable proportions, as the divine spark of inspiration exploded into objectivity.

You see about you various kinds of physical objects. [...] You might say that perceivable events are composed of a conglomeration of certain levels of consciousness tuned in to form an event, say, instead of an object.

Psychological events have their own integrity, wholeness, but as the dimensions of an object can be more or less ascertained and agreed upon by many, the greater free flow granted to psychological events allows for no such easy conventional recognition. An object such as a piece of furniture comes to you manufactured in a particular fashion. [...]

An object to be declared as such must be in tune with itself—that is, composed of atoms and molecules of a certain classification, working together as a unit. [...]

—and evidently some minds do work in such ways that anything not rooted in the “objective, external” world literally does not exist; this orientation includes the belief, the “fact,” that even all thinking or feeling is so related to that outsideness, or is so a part of it, that there is no separation possible.

[...] It includes additional information on several topics already mentioned in the book proper, such as coordination points, biblical times and records, objects as symbols, reincarnation, and expansion of consciousness. [...]

One woman, another follower, for Ruburt is the leader of this group, pushes a landscape of yours across the floor ahead of her—preserving, you see, your art as well as Ruburt’s. Finally one of the women objects strenuously and decides to stand up and show herself. [...]

(9:20.) Ruburt, however, objects, and that Ruburt represents the portion of the personality who is still clinging to old beliefs, but losing its leadership. [...]

[...] The picture, the photograph, is but one small object in the entire range of your vision. [...] Yet the photograph remains inviolate within its own framework; you cannot alter the position of one object within it. [...]

[...] If you hold that feeling, then the element of time becomes as real as any of the other objects within the photograph. [...]

[...] It looks into subjective dimensions that are literally infinite, and from these subjective dimensions all objective realities flow. [...]

[...] You observe the outside aspect of objects. [...]

[...] There is no object that was not formed by consciousness, and each consciousness, regardless of its degree, rejoices in sensation and creativity. [...]

[...] You have no words for the kinds of images I am speaking of, for they are not objects, nor pictures of objects, nor images of images, but instead the inner dimensions, each separate and glowing, but connected, prisms of knowledge, that have within themselves more reality than you can presently begin to imagine.

[...] In a fashion they practiced dreaming in their sleep, and thus learned also to think (underlined) in terms of the measurement of physical images, and to move objects around in their minds before they did so physically.

He should put into the bedroom objects that have particular value for him. [...] But the bedroom is devoid of the favorite objects he keeps about him in this room. (The living room.) He feels that such objects are protective, and since he is without these he feels more vulnerable.

[...] There is therefore “an invisible universe” out of which the visible or objective universe springs.

[...] To you your universe seems, now, objective and real, and it seems to you that at one time at least this was not the case, so you ask about its creation and the evolution of the species. [...]

The historical and cultural world as you know it appears to be the only one objective world, of course, with its history already written, its present, and hopefully its probable future.

[...] Everything in the room, from smallest to largest, was expanding in proportion; that is, keeping the relative proportion between various objects intact. [...]

[...] Objects were actually sensed as shapes and forms of volume and weight (?) not sure of weight. [...]
