“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Only an objectively tuned consciousness like man’s would imagine that the physical eradication of a species destroyed its existence.”

[...] At the time (she wrote later for me) emotionally she objected strenuously to that message of Seth’s, since “it seemed too easy a way to sign off a cat’s life — or any other life — even if it was true. [...]

“Years ago such spontaneous objections of mine really bothered me,” she continued, “and I’d sit and mentally argue with Seth so that the session didn’t begin right away; it only started after I mentally shut up. [...]

[...] As I mentioned earlier (in the 652nd session in Chapter Thirteen, for instance), the division is largely the result of your mass and private beliefs in the nature of reality, and in the habits the race has acquired of separating “objective” data from subjective.

In them of course one object may be a symbol, but there is no such thing as an overall statement of dream symbolism, in which a given symbol will have a general meaning. [...]

[...] If you read books in which you are told that a certain object always represents such and such, then you are like the artist who accepts the critic’s idea of the symbols in his own work. [...]

[...] As interested as we were, we did not lose objectivity.

[...] The hilarity of all this is hard to convey, but the objective realization of what was taking place, and of how hard it would be to explain to a neophyte, finally got to John Bradley. [...]

[...] As children, some people love to work with words, some with images, some with objects. [...]

Many of your technological advances — all of them, for that matter — are rather interpretations of the inner mechanisms of nature: sonar, radar, and so forth, as you attempt to physically or objectively reproduce the inner realities of nature. [...]

[...] Using this analogy the mountains and oceans, the valleys and rivers and all natural phenomena spring from the earth’s soul, as all events and all manufactured objects appear from the inner mind or soul of mankind.

[...] The atoms and molecules that compose all objects, whether it be the body of a person, a table, a stone or a frog, know the great passive thrust of creativity that lies beneath their own existence, and upon which their individuality floats, distinct, clear and unassailable.

[...] The male, however, chose to take upon himself a kind of specialization of consciousness that, carried too far, leads to a hard over-objectivity. [...]

Those who imagine they look upon nature with the most objective of eyes are those whose subjective beliefs blind them most of all, for they cannot see through their own misinterpretations. [...]

[...] The personality solves the problems, not necessarily in the simplest way, objectively speaking, but in the way that will best benefit the personality as a whole.

[...] The abilities, of whatever power or strength, are a part of you; they are not something objective that you possess. [...]

[...] You, Joseph, look through the outward in its physical completion and perfection, through to the inwardness which fills your paintings of physical objects, as it fills physical objects themselves.

He hints at the object, looking from the inside out. [...]

[...] The fairy godmother, suddenly appearing, uses the normal objects of everyday life so that they are suddenly transformed, and we have a chariot¹ from a pumpkin, and other transformations of a like nature.

[...] By the time you are adults, it certainly seems that you are a subjective being in an objective universe, at the mercy of others, and with only the most superficial control over the events of your lives.³

[...] He is working intimately with subjective and objective experience, correlating dream events and physical life.

[...] A natural-enough resentment comes to the surface at times, natural enough under the circumstances, in which he objects to taking special time out, but largely he is overcoming that attitude and a more pliable attitude toward the body is being set up.

You surround yourself with objects, and an obvious environment instantly perceived. [...]

[...] But you will not exist amid objects that are taken at face value alone. [...]

[...] I thought I would see physical manifestation again, and in an environment that was not slavishly dependent upon objects.)

[...] It is the inner self, termed here the inner ego, that organizes, initiates, projects, controls the EE units of which we have been speaking lately, transforming energy into objects, into matter.

These then form physical objects, physical matter. [...]

The uncertainty principle, or the principle of indeterminacy (advanced by Heisenberg in 1927, and part of the theory of quantum mechanics), sets definite limits to the accuracy possible in measuring both the motion and position of atoms and elementary particles simultaneously; more importantly to my mind, for the purposes of this note, the uncertainty principle maintains that there is an interaction between the observer (with his instruments) and the object or quality being measured.

Dr. Instream explained the parapsychologists’ attitude toward the testing of ESP and suggested that Seth try clairvoyantly to perceive objects upon which the doctor would be concentrating. [...] At 10 P.M. Mondays and Wednesdays, Dr. Instream would concentrate on an object in his study in the town in which he lived. [...]

[...] We cleared our minds of objective thoughts and wrote down whatever came into our heads, trying to predict the day’s events. [...]

The matter of the universe can be conceived of as a physical body, an organism of individual cells (objects) held together by connective tissue (the chemicals and elements of air). [...]

[...] Here you have the birth of subject and object, the I AM who is the doer or constructor, and the construction itself.

[...] They come from subjective rather than objective reality, and, in my case at least, they become objectified, their force propelling them into physical actualization.

[...] For the test object I used part of one of the paper napkins Jane and I were given when we varied our routine prior to the 213th session, and visited a local discotheque for a beer. [...] While we were in the discotheque ultraviolet lights were turned on when the entertainment began; this means the test object was viewed by us in this unusual light, and this fact shows in tonight’s test data.

(See the tracing of the test object, the napkin from the discotheque, on page 107.

[...] You are used to projecting your beliefs onto physical objects and events. When you leave your home station, those objects and events no longer present themselves in the same fashion.

Look at the image in your mind as it exists in the snapshot, and see it as being aware only of those other objects that surround it. [...]
