“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It exists not only isolated for example, or detached, but it exists as a part of the electrical pattern of that personality who originally created it. It is still a part of his electrical pattern, but it does also exist independently of him.

You could imagine it for example as having a shape, but the shape would not be formed by matter, but by pattern masses; and all the multitudinous portions of it, the shapes on it, would be composed in terms of mass intensity. [...]

[...] The expressions come and go but certain habitual patterns remain.

[...] In the same way, if he could count on you in the exercises for a while, this would relieve him of the fear that the project, begun unsuccessfully in the past, and not continued, would follow the same pattern. [...]

[...] Using energy, you manipulate existing atoms and molecules into a certain pattern which you then, and others like you, recognize as one particular object.

[...] The fact is, however, that it exists as a particular object because of your intimate construction of it into a particular pattern, and because of the recognition you give it.

[...] You simply have not constructed of the atoms and molecules any pattern which you call an object, and which you recognize.

In this case of course the inhabitants of the different fields remain unaware of each other, and only see, or recognize, the particular pattern that they have imposed upon the atoms and molecules in question.

[...] You condition your body to behave in general overall patterns. [...]

[...] It is the inner self that unfolds those patterns of behavior spoken about in the article you read on infant growth. [...]

[...] Ruburt for example has found out what certain mental patterns will do to his image, and he is now attempting to undo the damage that became apparent. [...]

Old negative patterns of thought, always present beneath an exterior optimism, had gone unrecognized by him, and were like a thorn in his side. [...]

[...] They fall in patterns, forming themselves naturally into the dream contents that fit the contours of your own mind. [...]

Raindrop patterns in a puddle follow certain laws having to do with the contours of the land, the weather, the nature of the rain, of the clouds, the height from which the raindrops fall, and the conditions operating in the nearby and far portions of the world. [...]

[...] They make ever-moving psychic patterns in your mind, rippling outward. [...]

[...] Even your dream information, then, will flow into structured patterns.

[...] On your plane such construction and such electronic and atomic patterns, frameworks and fields, are rigid to a degree, but even on your plane there is constant and apparent change. The pattern on your plane is more or less rigid while you exist on your plane. Nevertheless, the atoms and molecules within that pattern are far from rigid, though the pattern remains more or less the same. [...]

In actuality molecular structures and patterns are not rigid. [...]

[...] It is a variation on the original pattern. [...]

[...] To some extent the world copies itself, in that there are patterns.² But those patterns are always changed to one extent or another, so that no object is ever a copy of another — though it may appear to be the same.

(All emphatically and joyously:) In your terms, the world is intensely different from one moment to another, with each smallest portion of consciousness choosing its reality from a field of infinite probabilities.³ Immense calculations, far beyond your conscious decisions as you think of them, are possible only because of the unutterable freedom that resides within minute worlds inside your skull — patterns of interrelationships, counterparts so cunningly woven that each is unique, freewheeling, and involved in an infinite cooperative venture so powerful that the atoms stay in certain forms, and the same stars shine in the sky.

2. At about the time Seth was producing his material on patterns for “Unknown” Reality, Jane was dealing with the same concept from her own much more personal viewpoint. [...]

“Then I understood something else: The phone calls, visits, and letters were falling into patterns, just as the subjective events of my life had been doing. [...]

[...] Within it, simultaneous actions follow “freely” through associative patterns. [...]

[...] There are far more various kinds of consciousness than there are physical forms, each with its own patterns of perception, dwelling within its own camouflage system. [...]

[...] In some systems for example, it forms highly integrated mathematical and musical patterns that are themselves stimuli for other universal systems. [...]

Whether or not A, the sender, knowingly transmits this apparent duplicate, at the point of its transmission the sender forms an electrical impulse pattern that is supposed to duplicate the original thought. [...]

[...] The point that I want to make here is that any attempt at such duplication actually forces, because of the nature of the attempt, the impulses to line up in a different pattern. [...]

[...] The original thought is used as a pattern, therefore, for the creation of a new electrical reality, which may or may not be directed at any given receiver. [...]

[...] In Framework 2, effortlessly all patterns are set into motion at your birth, opening up innumerable probable pathways, each leading to the best fulfillment of your potential, so that events, chance encounters, everything works together.

[...] A small clue in a larger pattern, that your name and works are beginning to pop up more and more in other countries a ripple in an ever-increasing area of activity. [...]

In Framework 2, your writing abilities were also known, of course, and they continue to develop, continue to seek for outlet, continue to search for a pattern; despite your relative abandonment of them, they came to the fore. [...]

I want Ruburt, again, to encourage spontaneity in all areas, and to trust that the spontaneity is the result of quite orderly sequences in Framework 2, and of larger patterns of creativity that are not yet consciously apparent. [...]

[...] The pattern of worrying over many trivial affairs, of constant brooding, has been a camouflage to hide the basic fears. [...]

[...] The dreams were meant to show him he was repeating a pattern of behavior.

[...] He envied you what he thought of as your coolness, and in trying to emulate it at times he only used it as an excuse to continue this old pattern of withdrawal.

Ruburt’s deep love for you shocked him out of that pattern for some time, but he also idealized you to such an extent that some difficulties were bound to arise. [...]

Each of you will find habitual thought patterns in your own life backed up by resulting action — conditioned behavior as it were — by which you continually reinforce negative aspects, concentrate upon them to the exclusion of conflicting data, and so bring them into experience through natural hypnosis.

The repetition, verbally or mentally, is important because it activates biological patterns and reflects them. [...]

He sees more than you do, or more than his mother does, because he does not yet realize that you only accept certain patterns and reject others. [...]

[...] As a magnet, you see, will attract with its filaments, so these units attract their own kind and form patterns which then appear to you as perception.

[...] Then from this adjacent platform of A-l consciousness, you perceive the mental thought patterns of yourself or the other person in whatever way you find characteristic of you.

You may perceive the thought patterns as quickly flashing sentences or words that are usually seen within your mind or within the other mind, or as black letters that form words. [...]

[...] The same thing should then be done with the feeling pattern. [...]

[...] This state is distinguished by a slower breathing pattern and, unless other directions are given, by a somewhat lowered temperature and longer alpha waves; a slower frequency.

When the inner patterns are broken the effects cease, but the inner patterns are associated by the personality with those outer habits. [...]

[...] The various unfortunate effects that seem to be caused by smoking are not caused by the cigarettes so much, as by those psychic habits which cause a personality to seek security within such habitual patterns that become compulsive.

[...] You agree to form this into certain patterns, and you agree to ignore other data completely. [...]

[...] You are simply in a position where you can pick up and translate the energy pattern before you.

[...] He may however, because of his own makeup, perceive and translate another portion of allied pattern. [...]

(10:40.) Now, briefly: The overall stance of the species is largely maintained by the waking-sleeping patterns that you mentioned recently. [...]

— working on the interior patterns that will form the next day’s realities, and providing probable previews of future events. [...]

[...] If you think of a mass world brain — one entity — then it must wake and sleep in patterns. [...]

[...] You did, however, both for years believe most firmly that your creative endeavors were dependent upon the need for protection from others, the world, from time, and even from any of your own characteristics that did not seem to fit into that overall pattern.

[...] These are patterns of attitudes of long standing, and at different times, as Ruburt improved, and new decisions came to mind, he backtracked, and you largely went along. [...]

[...] You are doing well, though, and also any change of routine or pattern in your lives within the general context is good, for you need the variety.

[...] Ideas of cause and effect can hold you back here, because it seems to you that the leaves of next year come as an effect caused by this year’s leaves.¹⁰ To the plant and its innate creative pattern, however, all of its manifestations are one — an expression of itself, each portion different. The knowledge of its “future” leaves, as potential pattern, exists now. [...]

[...] To a certain extent you do carry the knowledge of your forefathers within your [cells’] chromosomes,¹ which present a pattern that is not rigid but flexible — one that in codified fashion endows you with the subjective living experience of those who, in your terms, have gone before. [...]

[...] The ancestral and reincarnational lines merge to some extent to form what you think of as your genetic patterns ahead of time, so to speak. [...]

[...] Manipulation of camouflage patterns is to be expected, and furthermore is desirable. However, many native societies appreciate the fact of camouflage patterns, and retain the ability to separate the whole self from camouflage.

His education, his everyday pattern of existence, his cultural values, tend to imprison him so that he can only view other societies through the murky haze of his own misconceptions. [...]

[...] With the emotions however, there is in many cases a stimulus to action in the outside camouflage pattern.

[...] They are in some respects evolutionary developments, being the end portions of the inner senses transformed to some degree, to permit manipulation of camouflage pattern. [...]
