“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] We thought it would be possible also to recoup on the Instream objects.

(A partial copy of the article from the Elmira newspaper for April 18,1966, used as the envelope object in the 48th experiment, in the 252nd session for April 20,1966.)

If, for example you see, in objective life with strangers about, that you prefer your isolation, relatively speaking, you can make certain decisions. [...]

[...] Only when the body objected and went over those boundaries did he become frightened, for he saw then that he lacked the control over the body he thought he held. He could not silence all of its objections.

Now: Ruburt may sometimes object to the terms used to describe his work. [...]

[...] That was Ruburt’s objective.

As far as publishing this material is concerned, I have no objections. [...]

[...] He need not walk that distance in order to know what is there since he can see everything between himself and the tree, at least as far as large objects are concerned. [...]

[...] Let us pretend this state of events, and let us compare the physical objects between our man and his tree to points somewhat corresponding to them in the inner world. [...]

Now our man would not vaguely sense these objects, he would feel them. [...]

[...] You could see, for example, your present living room not only as a conglomeration of permanent-appearing furniture, but switch your focus and see the immense and constant dance of molecules and other particles that compose the various objects.

[...] Objects from past and present could be perceived at once, their presence justified through associative connections. [...]

[...] You have judged a time interval by the seeming changes in a given material object.

[...] The fact is, material on your field is composed of constant energy pulsations; and while to you the appearance is one of permanence to a fair degree, and while I have said that the pulsations are constant, nevertheless they are completely distinct, separate and new pulsations that are not continuous in the terms that you apply to one object that is continuous.

Dictation: Your next question is easy to anticipate, of course, for you will want to know the origin of that “interior” universe from which I have said the exterior one ever emerges — and here we must part company with treasured objectivity, and enter instead a mental domain, in which it is seen that contradictions are not errors; an inner domain large enough to contain contradictions at one level, for at another level they are seen to be no contradictions at all.

Thoughts spring into your mind as the objective universe swims into reality — that is, in the same fashion. [...]

[...] As long as you hold them they will be most faithfully reproduced and objectively justified.

[...] This proved to be the end of the session. I suggested to Jane that she train herself to focus upon external objects while doing things like getting up and down, that had bothered her. [...]

[...] You have, again, a definite right to state your objections, and to change your contract accordingly in the future. You have every right to state your clear objections to Prentice about whatever issue you feel unfair. [...]

(Pause at 9:28.) Agreements of a legal order should, however, always be honored, and each society has been built upon that precept, so you have of course every right to state your objections—but more, to take precautions so that the same kind of situation cannot reoccur.

[...] As long as you think that your physical information about the world, through newspapers and so forth, presents a fairly adequate, objective view of events, then all of the evidence to the contrary will literally be invisible, for you will continue to organize your view of the world in the old way. [...]

I am, again, not telling you to be blind to physical events, but to realize that the news media, and your organizations, are not giving you an “objective” view of the world, but a view compounded and composed by Freudian and Darwinian beliefs. [...]

[...] These then are taken as an objective picture of the fact world.

(If impressions can attach themselves to the test object itself, they can attach themselves to any other object; so once again it appears that the problem for Jane is one of discrimination. [...]

Five objects in particular, and one of them is a gift, or was a gift to him. [...]

[...] Telepathically you all agree upon the placement of objects and their dimensions. [...]

You agree, for example, that objects are physical—it makes little difference whether they are or not as long as you agree upon this. [...]

[...] The envelope object for the test in question was a piece torn from a hidden page of The New York Times. [...] [Hiding it in the studio while my eyes were closed, etc.] Yet when Seth, through Jane, gave the test results, much accurate data was given concerning the full page that lay in the back room, as well as the actual small envelope object in Jane’s hand during the session. [...]

[...] Telepathically you all agree on the placement of objects, and their dimensions.

[...] You agree, for example, upon what objects are physical — it makes little difference whether they are or not, as long as you agree upon this. [...]

Carefully—I thought!—I explained that suggestion was very important, and asked the professor to have an objective attitude during the tests. But, as I later discovered through one of his students, his attitude was anything but objective and hardly scientific. [...]

This episode and a few similar ones have made me wary of such encounters with so-called objective academicians. [...]

[...] Ego consciousness, on the other hand, involves a state in which consciousness of self attempts to divorce self from action—an attempt on the part of consciousness to perceive action as an object … and to perceive action as initiated by the ego as a result, rather than as a cause, of ego’s own existence.

“The past is no more objective or independent from the perceiver than is the present. [...]

If Ruburt will bear with me: He will benefit from your fairly objective ideas about the gallery, if you can bring yourself to discussing them objectively.

[...] Material objects are indeed actions, literally without specific beginning or end, the action being continuous.

[...] It is you who arbitrarily recognize a portion of an action as any particular material object. [...]

[...] He has always objected strenuously, on principle—

[...] The waking portion provides, say, the material supplies that visibly appear as objects or as events. These objects or events must be laid upon that prior framework, however. [...]

[...] The planning stages for events, and the inner communications necessary, occur on the part of the sleeping members, while the waking doers are involved in objective events.

The object seems to be a scroll of some kind—something rolled up, as you roll up paper. [...]

[...] The scroll object can be used vertically or horizontally. [...]

[...] Your mind is not really dealing with concepts but with the simple perception of objects, so that little imagination is involved. You can express the location of objects in space, and you can communicate to others in a similar fashion, confirming the physical, obvious properties that others also perceive.
