“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It is, itself, the invisible universe that is everywhere implied within your world, but that becomes manifest to your perception only through historic time. [...]

[...] Individually and en masse, and to the extent that our human systems of perception make it possible, our species has created a world and universe built upon a very limited, repetitious creation and interpretation of internal and external data. [...]

[...] You have, however, far greater abilities of perception. [...]

[...] You only perceive it as continuous; your perceptive mechanisms are not equipped to detect the pulsations. [...]

[...] As long as his perception in this manner is so disorganized and so fragmentary he cannot hope to compose any conception of the total.

[...] You will discover then upon awakening that many perceptions concerning time and space within the dream state will remain with you.

[...] They are aware of your perception of time, but it means nothing to them. [...]

[...] Your perception of the apple enables you to see it piecemeal.

What is unusual is that Ruburt was able to use his perceptions fully to see within the patterns of the physical system, or to see through them to the patterns formed by another system.

[...] Ruburt turned off his usual focus of perception. [...]

[...] This is the first time that Ruburt has allowed himself such freedom of perception, and he shall have other such experiences.

[...] There is some difference, naturally, but the degree of perception is determined by the personality itself.

[...] Not only is the illusion of space caused by your own physical perceptive mechanisms, but it is also caused by mental patterns that you have accepted — patterns that are adopted by consciousness when it reaches a certain stage of “evolution” within your system.

It utilizes numberless methods of perception, and it has at its command many other kinds of consciousness. [...]

What you have is a kind of inner backbone of perception—a backup program, so to speak, an inner perceptive mechanism with its own precise psychological tuner that in one way or another operates within the field of your intent. [...]

[...] I have told you that your physical habits of perception are learned, and that the world can indeed be physically put together in different fashions. [...]

[...] These perceptions were different however than what you think of as ordinary ones. [...]

[...] Your perceptive mechanisms simply do not allow you to tune in to their ranges. [...]

As your perceptive mechanisms insist that objects are solid, for example, so they insist that such a thing as space exists. [...]

[...] The greater event of yourself exists in a context that is beyond your usual perception of events. [...]

[...] Events are physical interpretations, conventionalized versions of inner perceptive experiences that are then “coalesced” in space and time. [...]

[...] She compared her feelings with those heightened perceptions she’d enjoyed so much yesterday and Wednesday in connection with the birth of Politics. [...]

[...] A bit later I plan to quote from her own notes some of the details of her transcendent perceptions; but by the time I’d secured the typewriter, then driven over to the supermarket at Langdon Plaza, she didn’t think she could get out of the car. [...]

[...] He has known heightened perceptions of a unique nature. [...]

[...] She also wrote about those transcendent experiences in Adventures; see Chapter 9 for her “paper” perceptions (in March 1972), and Chapter 15 for her encounters with the rain creature and the light (in February 1973). [...]

[...] In them, however, my own consciousness was still physically oriented since I “went out” to check the reliability of my perceptions against physical reality.

[...] But when dealing directly with people, Seth is — direct, and most perceptive. [...]

[...] Instead, experienced events usually involve only surface perceptions. [...]

[...] I woke up as it ended — or faded out of my perception — with the certain feeling that it represented something quite unusual. [...]

[...] Your perceptions, your physical perceptions, cut a good bit of the portion that you could receive into bits and pieces. [...]

When actions from other systems are projected into your own, your own perceptions distort the true nature of the event. [...]

[...] You can of course feel the invisible wind against your cheek, but touch involves an immediacy different from the distant perceptions of sight and smell.

[...] There is no lapse of time in perception, since there is no time.

It involves immediate perception of a direct nature, whose intensity varies according to what is being sensed. [...]

My feelings “clicked;” the incident was significant; and it seemed to fit in too perfectly and meaningfully into the events just previous, as if saying “yes, you do operate magically” … and this is an example of how those perceptions work. [...]

[...] I’m not unconscious but conscious in a different way, at another level … This state of perception has nothing to do with classical pathological dissociation; and its products — Seth’s five books — display a highly-developed intellect at work and give evidence of a special kind of creativity. [...]

[...] If you can momentarily abandon your private world view, that focus from which you experience reality, then you can allow the experience of others who have had similar challenges to color your perception. [...]

Yet in many such instances, the Ouija board operator or the automatic writer is to some extent or another tuning in to a world view, struggling to open roads of perception free enough to perceive an altered version of reality, but not equipped enough through training and temperament, perhaps, to express it.
