“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Observing even a pet, you will notice its marvelous complete relaxation, and yet its immediate total response to stimulus. [...]

[...] Such people often watched the animals and observed nature’s own therapies and treatments.

[...] You may indeed sit there and observe me. But I also sit here and observe you, whether or not Ruburt’s eyes are opened or closed.

(The couple seemed detached from the room, observing, as we were also detached and observing. [...]

(Seth made this observation because before the session Jane had remarked that she can still get “pretty blue at times.”)

(Seth’s observation that it was a lovely evening stemmed from the fact that night had [...]

[...] The close observer could, I think, find among the three men more physical and psychological correlations [some having to do with illness], as well as meaningful opposing features, so that in this instance the counterpart relationships can be seen as quite apropos.

[...] For each observer quite literally created from his own subconscious energy an approximation of a house, a general shape then perceived as a house, and further embellished by personal judgments.

[...] Now, in our sessions I am sure that by now you are at least to some extent aware of what would seem to be something quite strange: the emergence of a self that observes the self of which you have been ordinarily aware; a self with a slightly different time system, a slightly different viewpoint of reality, a self with greater control over the physical material that composes your physical image, a self with some quite effective control over your personal future.

[...] Many people, long before the time of printing or reading, learned to read nature very well, to observe the seasons, to feel out “the seasons of the soul.” [...]

Through observing his creations he learns how to use these abilities better. [...]

[...] Jane said the visit had disturbed her somewhat, a fact that I had not appreciated from observing her. [...]

The dream objects are not randomly chosen, but only those are chosen which will be significant to the many layers of the self, according to the need or according to that part of the subconscious area which is to be instructed; that is, the portion which is directly a participant in the dream activities, and which plays out the dream drama while other parts of the self observe.

[...] The inner self perceives realities that it observes in many directions, being free from the intense focus within limited directions of camouflage existence.

[...] To paraphrase: Using this sense, an observer standing on a typical street would feel the experience of being anything he chose within his field of notice: people, trees, insects, blades of grass. [...]

[...] The ego attempts to stand apart and observe, but in order to do so it narrows the available field of perception. Once it has formed its characteristics, it has already become too specialized to do more than observe certain limited fields of activity. It is of course itself observed by the inner ego, which has managed to maintain its position securely within subjective reality, where it has a wider though somewhat less intense viewpoint.

[...] Through watching them, you see, you can observe the effect that our material has on their daily lives. [...]

[...] These objects are at the limits of our observable universe according to our instruments, yet are many times too bright and emit much too much energy for their size, according to the laws of physics. [...]

[...] I knew she was in a trance however, but doubted if a casual observer would be so sure. [...]

[...] In the second effect, Jane said she felt a distinct trembling in her chin as it was lowered against her chest, but Peg and I hadn’t observed this. [...]

[...] She said she’d felt strange since supper; now she said she felt that we shouldn’t be so subjectively aware, now; but that we should be as our future selves, observing the present scene and our physical bodies as they sat in the living room, from the outside.

[...] Jane thought she was the girl, rather than an observer. [...]

[...] However, those beliefs may not be nearly as observable, and many people may deny that they are present at all. [...]

[...] The outer senses, observing the reflection, might try to judge the depth of the water by the height of the tree, supposing it to be as deep as the tree is high …”

[...] Your world of physical objects is quite important, in that because it allows you to deal with differentiations, to pinpoint energy where you want it while giving you an observable physical effect, so that this training can carry over in other realities in which the same kind of physical feedback is not available, is subsidiary, or is otherwise not as much a part of the camouflage structure.

“I’m not quite sure of the meaning of the older handsome Navy man who stands at attention — an authority figure … whose purpose is merely to stand guard and observe; perhaps a reassurance to Rob that the rational self is there, in its true position — but standing apart, observing the magical proceedings.
