“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] These will always appear through the subconscious, but the original concepts originate with this portion of the self.

[...] The physical universe is far more complicated than you know, and you understand little about its origins or even about its nature.

Two: All objects have their origin basically in mental action. [...]

[...] He may see the form of the man who originated the thought of the building. [...]

This facility, the translation of data to the ego, who would otherwise distrust it, any such translation is nevertheless a secondhanded version of the original reality; and that is an important point.

You originate ideas then and receive them, but you are not forced to actualize unrealized probable acts that come to you from other probable selves. [...]

You would learn the instrument far quicker, you see, if the impulse was originating with a probable self. [...]

(10:24.) Telepathically, if the process is done correctly, your idea will also affect any people who were connected with the original event, though they can choose to reject as well as accept your version.

[...] The nature of the thoughts and feelings you originate and those that you habitually or characteristically receive set a pattern, so you will choose from those probable futures those events that will physically become your experience. [...]

[...] So can the human self appear in several places at once,⁵ each such appearance subtly altering the “human” particle, so that each appearance is a version of an “original” self that as itself never appears in those terms.⁶ When you look at an electron — figuratively speaking — you are observing a trace or a track of something else entirely, and that appearance is termed an electron. So the self that you know is a physical trace or intrusion into space and time of an “original” self that never appears. [...]

Give us a moment … I am putting this as simply as possible; but when your “original self” enters [part of] itself into three-dimensional life from an inner reality, the energy waves carrying it break — not simply into one particle, following our analogy, but into a number of conscious particles. [...] In your conception of the centuries, then, there are other counterparts of yourself living at the same time and in different places — all creative versions of the original self. [...]

The unknown self, the “original self,” straddles realities, dipping in and out of them in creative versions of itself, taking on the properties of the system in which it appears, and the characteristics native to that environment. [...]

6. Several of my drawings in Part Two of Adventures relate visually to the idea of an “original self” (or “source self,” in Jane’s vocabulary) that never appears in physical reality. [...]

[...] Originally I’d planned to write the standard kind of introduction for Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment. However, as I became involved in describing the complicated, emotionally charged series of events surrounding the hospitalization earlier this year of my wife, Jane Roberts, the material automatically began organizing itself into a series of dated essays. [...]

[...] This weaving things together to make them “fit” is only natural for one of my temperament, but I didn’t alter any of my original copy—that I’d have refused to do—and I kept intact those first spontaneous descriptions of the events attendant to Jane’s physical difficulties, as well as our deep-seated, sometimes wrenching feelings connected to them. [...]

Seth, then, has finished his work on Dreams. I wrote the original version of the notes for each book session as he delivered it through Jane, and also began collecting other notes and reference material that might be used. [...]

[...] You are not under a sentence placed upon you for original sin, by any childhood events, or by past-life experience. [...] You may be less when you would be more, but you are not under a pall placed upon your psyche, either by original sin, Freud’s infancy syndromes, or past-life influences. [...]

[...] Realized yesterday also, going over old notes, that my original ‘cosmic consciousness’ (borrowed phrases again) experience was with The Physical Universe as Idea Construction which turned into and developed into the sessions and Seth Material; the natural, intuitive, and logical development; which to a large extent I relegated to the background and sometimes even distrusted. [...]

[...] Subjectively I feel this was as significant a development—almost—as the original Seth session. [...]

[...] They are not directly experienced by the physical system, but only translations of the original dream experience is felt by the actual physical system.

[...] And indeed such a mark is lacking, for inspiration originates with the inner self.

[...] The inner identity and individuality, as you know, has its origins long before this. [...]

[...] In other words, though the ego was adopted originally by the inner self, and was a product of physical heredity and environment, it does not die; but its existence is changed from physical reality into electrical reality. [...]

[...] My friend, Debbie Harris, found the original in notebook #39 when she was copying it for Yale University Library. [...]

[...] In my original notes I had noted that today’s “session material was quite unexpected.”

[...] She seems to think the actual episode of Father Darren chasing her around the bed when she was in that hotel room with him as a teen-ager is changed, whereas I thought Seth meant that the original event remained, but that her psychological understanding of what had transpired changed a good deal. [...]

(Since Jane began delivering the Seth material, I’ve become more and more interested in questions about the origins of creative [meaning artistic] endeavors. [...] But, paradoxically, the origins aren’t to be found there, either, or grasped in regular terms, for according to Seth they’d lie outside the reach of physical life. Without going into Seth’s ideas that time is simultaneous, or that any endeavor is creative, the kinds of origins I’m discussing here wouldn’t have any beginning or end. [...]

[...] For the mystical way surely speaks about our origins. ²

[...] His ancestors had originally spelled the family name “Bordeaux.” [...]

[...] See the 640th session for February 14, 1973: “Natural ‘mystical’ experience, unclothed in dogma, is the original religious therapy that is so often distorted in ecclesiastical organizations, but it represents man’s innate recognition of his oneness with the source of his own being, and of his experience.”

[...] What I meant of course was that he had not catalogued the later material under the various inner senses, as he had originally designated them. [...] Checking the various categories of material against the original list of the inner senses, it was usually easy to see where the two fit together.

[...] An action is never entirely dissipated, though it may pass beyond its particular field of origin. [...]

[...] Any reality, regardless of which system it originates within, will appear to some degree within all systems. [...]

[...] It would be impossible to ask which of the ten arrived first, except to say that all began with the original who decided to visit the ten locations. So it is with the Speakers, who in the same way do not originate in the locations or in the times in which they may appear.

(“Well, that brings me to number three, which you’ve already been getting into: What is the original source of the Speaker data? [...]

The original source of the Speaker data is the inner knowledge of the nature of reality that is within each individual. [...]

Ruburt would not be familiar with a good many of the words and phrases used, even if translation from the original languages was made. [...]

[...] Our landlord had just finished redecorating his establishment, and wanted some original art for it. [...]

I wanted to deal further during our last session with material originating in the unscheduled session, otherwise I would have cut the last session. [...]

[...] Their relative “duration” depends upon the original intensity behind them — that is, behind the original thought, emotion, stimuli, or reaction that brought them into being.

[...] Greater energy will therefore be added to the original thought or feeling, and its projection into physical matter accelerated. [...]

[...] They originated from the time of Atlantis. [...] This race had to do with the origin of Atlantis. [...]

[...] Now: Three men in particular who are under you (in the manufacturing plant where Ron holds a supervisor’s position), were part of that original band of men. [...]

There are comprehensions, illuminations, that cannot be verbalized, that arise as a result of … solving problems or challenges that seem to have nothing to do with the original challenges. [...]

[...] These can exist whether or not the course itself seems advantageous, and can even overshadow the benefits [that] a successful course might have given, in those terms … Though it would seem, then, that you have made errors, the errors in themselves are creative, and have brought about unforeseen probabilities that now enrich — and also change — your original course.

The violence that you were both speaking of this evening opened up a chasm within each participator’s soul, through which he glimpsed the dizzying origins that were behind his identity. [...]

There can be in your terms some loss of memory, complications that confuse the knowledge of origin. [...]

[...] (Pause.) This original system of which I have spoken will at least be theorized shortly, but the idea will not be taken seriously enough to cause any deep controversy. [...]

They originated from themselves, massive units of energy, that reacted automatically, and in an explosive manner upon the form of the system. [...]

Your original purpose was the purpose of the creative artist or of the mystic, and that kind of purpose automatically brings you in rebellion against official authority. Your original purpose did not involve gaining the respect of those authorities, and it is, if you will forgive me, overall shortsighted to worry about the approval of such people in your time. [...]

[...] The other ideas I mentioned, to some extent now cast an unclear light, so that the attitudes they evoke are in conflict with your original, most persuasive goals.

My comments this evening are simply made in response to my knowledge of your original goals, and Ruburt’s. Only in their light are those other attitudes detrimental.

[...] They are not passive, nor is their shape dependent upon their origin. [...]

[...] It was cast originally by your own thought or feeling, and when you withdraw that source, then its “shadow” is automatically gone.

[...] Such scenes can be changed in the dream state itself if you recognize their origin. [...]

Now: The physical shadow of a tree bears witness to the existence of a tree, even if you see only the shadow; so your hallucinations appearing in dreams also bear witness to their origin, and give testimony to a valid “objective” dream object that is as “solid” (slowly) in that reality as the tree is in your world.

[...] He was afraid of the cat, considering him wild and caged originally, as his mother had been in his interpretation, so he felt forced to help the cat (who did not have any love for him), as he felt before he had to help his mother—who would kill him if she had the chance.

The cat was male, called originally Katherine however, and identified as female. [...]
