“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] For this reason there was an easy distinction between what was called inner sight and outer sight, and it was quite natural for them to close their eyes when seated in conversation in order to communicate more clearly, enjoying the ever-changing and immediate inner images that accompanied any verbal interchange.

Alternate focus is merely a state in which you turn your consciousness in other than its habitual direction, in order to perceive quite legitimate realities that exist simultaneously with your own. [...]

(10:39.) Simply as an analogy, look at it this way: Your present universe is a mass-shared dream, quite valid — a dream that presents reality in a certain light; a dream that is above all meaningful, creative, based not upon chaos (with a knowing look), but upon spontaneous order. [...]

[...] Your experience changes constantly, and so does the intimate context of your life — but you concentrate upon points of order, in your terms, that actually serve to scale down the context of your experience to make it more comprehensible. [...]

Again, the events that you perceive come packaged in time sequences, so that you are used to a certain kind of before-and-after order. [...]

(I finally decided that the best way to present the variety of material desired, whether from Seth, Jane, or myself, was in chronological order, letting a composite picture emerge as the work progresses. [...]

[...] In order for there to be communication between us I must disentangle a concept from its pattern, which is somewhat difficult. [...]

[...] His conscious and unconscious mind had to be acquainted with certain ideas to begin with, in order for the complexity of this material to come through.

[...] I speak as literally as possible, but in order that any information may appear within your three-dimensional system, translations of it [through Ruburt] are automatically necessary or you would not perceive it.

[...] Instead we form matter in order to operate in three-dimensional reality, develop our abilities and help others. [...]

[...] In order to do justice to these questions, I deal with them separately in the Appendix.

[...] He did not understand that the spontaneous self knows its own order (gently), or that the spontaneous creative self had any notion of his conscious needs and desires. [...]

[...] (Pause.) There will often be chemical imbalances in such a situation, unconsciously produced by the individual, sometimes in order to allow him to work out a series of hallucinatory events. [...]

[...] It does mean that you have chosen to diversify functions and abilities, to isolate them, so to speak, in order to learn and understand and even to develop their peculiar natures.

[...] (Pause.) An illness of a severe nature may be used by an individual to put him or her into the most intimate contact with the powers of life and death, to initiate a crisis in order to mobilize buried survival instincts, to vividly portray great points of contrast and summon all of his or her strength.

[...] You have indeed many abilities to be developed, and you need to work in order to develop them fully. [...]

A note: Your exterior civilizations do indeed mirror and reflect the great cellular civilizations, so that you try to exteriorize that kind of order and creativity.

[...] Also, I use time terms, since you are so used yourselves to that kind of categorizing, so here we will certainly run into our first seeming contradiction (see the last session) — when I say that in the higher order of events all universes, including your own, have their original creations occurring now, with all of their pasts and futures built in, and with all of their scales of time winding ever outward, and all of their appearances of space, galaxies and nebulae, and all of their seeming changes, being instantly and originally created in what you think of as this moment.

Particularly when the voices or communications give orders to be obeyed, they represent powerful, otherwise repressed, images and desires, strong enough to form about themselves their own personifications. [...]

All portions of Ruburt’s body are gently and almost constantly being stretched and then exercised in the best possible order. [...]

[...] The body has its own patterns of behavior, connected with beliefs; but in this memory pattern there are tracings, and these are beginning to be erased in the order in which the condition was established. [...]

[...] (About Jane and me being essentially alone in that world now after my mother’s death, etc.) In the inner order of events he is walking nearly normally, but the challenge to beliefs must take place on that outer level, and this is now occurring. [...]

[...] It is a disciplined language in that spontaneity has a far greater order than any you recognize.

[...] We marveled at the inherent order in the migration, the loud honking that so proudly demonstrated its rightness. [...]
