“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The body is amazingly quick to act upon environmental cues of a physical nature, but your world also involves cultural activity and “dangers” that are not immediately biologically perceivable. [...]

[...] Now, when you let it be known telepathically that your awareness of sensitivity and love has been reawakened, others can perceive it and come to it as a light. [...]

[...] But when you realize that your own body cells are much more than physical, contain their own capsule comprehension, then you will see that they could, at least theoretically, operate in such a manner if you could throw your own consciousness into them, and perceive their seemingly alien experience.

“You perceive your body as solid. [...] All other objects that you perceive are formed in their own way in the same fashion.

[...] In that session Seth gave us his interpretations of some of the basic laws or attributes of the inner universe, but it will be quickly seen that he was really discussing space and time,² as those qualities are perceived in his reality and in ours. [...]

[...] In evolutionary theory, such attributes violate not only the operation of chance mutation and the struggle for existence, but our ideas of consecutive time [which is associated with “naïve realism” — the belief that things are really as we perceive them to be]. [...]

In this reality, [each of] you very nicely emphasize all the similarities which bind you together; you make a pattern of them, and you very nicely ignore all the dissimilarities … If you were able to focus your attention on the dissimilarities, merely those that you can perceive but do not, then you would be amazed that mankind can form any idea of an organized reality.

(9:16.) I am aware of the pressing nature of your concerns, and of the sharpness of the physical picture as you perceive it—yet I must continue (almost with a smile) to maintain the following points: a concentration upon a problem deepens it. An overly intense search for what is wrong is debilitating—particularly when you end up looking for events as scapegoats rather than for the beliefs with which certain events are perceived. [...]

[...] Clairvoyantly he merely disentangled himself enough to ignore some camouflage in order to perceive camouflage that lay behind it, and this is a necessary first step.

[...] Your outer senses merely equip you to perceive your own camouflage, but to others your camouflage may in some cases appear as empty space, while what is empty to you is filled with activity for them.

Consciousness itself perceives directly, and these various methods of perception have been adopted to meet varying physical circumstances. [...]

[...] This encounter takes place through the use of the physical senses, of course, as they are used to perceive and interpret physical data. [...]

[...] How blessed, bodies, leaping alive from the microscopic molecules that combine to walk down the autumn streets; assemble to form the sweet senses’ discrimination that perceives, for a time, the precise joy and unity of even one passing afternoon. [...]

[...] Nevertheless again, subjective continuity itself never falters, in that it is always a part of the world that it perceives, so that you and the world create each other, in these terms.

[...] You have, again, perceived some small clues as to such inner behavior. [...]

[...] It is easier for me to perceive the end result, however, than it is to follow the changing ins and outs in between. [...]

[...] The brain waves as they are known are separately registered segments of a greater “whole” kind of consciousness, and your machines are just as segmented, perceiving only those patterns [they were designed to recognize]. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) An animal in Ruburt’s physical condition would simply be resting, perceiving body alterations and odd states with patient acquiescence, doing what it could physically and forgetting about the rest, trustful in the body’s capacities to heal itself. [...]

[...] Now it is true that generally speaking, material of an emotional nature actually has a stronger vitality, and is easier to perceive. [...]

[...] Since in all of these experiments Seth was helping us through actual suggestions and explanations as to how we perceive such information, I simply couldn’t minimize his importance just to get the ESP book published. [...]

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. [...]

(Jane mentioned the 4¢ postage stamp on the object; strictly speaking the stamp is not quite square, but if the stamp had been perceived clairvoyantly perhaps its shape was interpreted as a square.

[...] Perhaps Jane perceived this while the envelope was in a vertical position, or the data is simply somewhat distorted.

[...] It follows that I could not travel to higher planes than my own, where more acute senses than mine would instantly perceive me. [...] Even with your limited senses you would perceive my presence, though my plane is further developed than yours.

[...] A rigid, dogmatic concept of good and evil will force you to perceive physical existence as a battleground of opposing forces, with the poor unwary soul almost as a buffer. [...]

(11:56 P.M. Seth’s comments on my experience certainly illustrate his notions of simultaneous time to some extent, since from my “present” I perceived aspects of myself in the reincarnational “past” as well as in the “future” in this life. [...]

[...] The motion of the planets, indeed their very perceived reality, exists in far different terms.

5. I think that in his material from 10:17 to 10:25 here, Seth very neatly summarizes much of his thinking about how each of us constantly moves through a multitude of probable realities, meeting certain others in any one space-time environment, perceiving individual versions of any given event … Very useful information.
