“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

1. The series of visions that made up my overall perception of the black woman in Jamaica were the most vivid I’ve experienced yet. [...] As I sat at the typewriter in my studio, I was flooded with perceptions of myself as such a woman: Pursued by an armed English military officer, she ran for her life down a hilly village street. [...]

[...] Before I could do so, however, I had another experience with psychic perceptions three days later — on November 16 — that led to more questions. [...]

(She enjoyed the exchange a great deal, she made sketches while speaking on such subjects as the many facets of the electron and its behavior; time and its variations; gravity, its changes with motion, and its attributes in the past, present, and future; the velocities of light; mathematical equations; astronomy, including perceptions by telescope of the future as well as of the past; the structure of the earth’s core; earthquakes and “black” sound/light; language, including glossolalia and her own Sumari; pyramids, coordination points, and so forth. [...]

In larger terms, while you speak your own language, the universe also speaks “your” language as it constantly translates itself into your private perception. [...]

Now basically even the physical universe itself is so constructed, but for all practical purposes, as far as general perception and experience is concerned, time and the physical growth development apply, so that we find the ego portion, particularly of the human personality, is to a large extent dependent for its maturity and development upon the amount of time that the physical image has spent within the system.

[...] You experience action as one happening after another, not because of the nature of action itself but because of the nature of your own structure and perception.

[...] Then explore your own conscious sense perceptions of the orange. [...]

[...] On some occasions in the dream state the recognized self may then enlarge its perception enough to take advantage of these other portions of its own identity. [...]

By now it should be obvious to you that you perceive only a small portion of reality; indeed, that your idea of reality is formed and limited by your perceptions.

[...] Habits of perception divide them however.

[...] Space, time, size, density, all of these are the results of your own perception.

[...] I hope by now he realizes that extrasensory perception is a poor term at best. Inner sense perception would be a much more accurate description. [...]

As the physical atoms and molecules combine to form cells, and the cells to form physical organs, and as they do not lose their individuality in so doing, and as the atoms and molecules themselves actually gain and share in higher perceptions because of this gestalt, so do the basic components or fragments of an entity constantly form new and varied personalities; and these in turn form entities of their own.

[...] They were clued into sense perception, then. These pulses or messages became the only official data that, translated into sense perception, formed physical reality. [...]

[...] In Adventures Ruburt uses the term “prejudiced perception” — an excellent one — that is applicable here. [...]

[...] It had something to do with her perception of two identical masses of landscape, one being meant to duplicate the other. [...]

I may use the word future, but I use it only to express that which is beyond my present perceptive limits. [...]

[...] In such instances, often the personality will insist upon focusing his perceptive abilities and energies toward physical existence. [...]

[...] It is not a matter of refusing to accept it, but a lack of perception. [...]

[...] The events are “distorted,” yet while the paranoid is convinced that those events are valid, this does not change other people’s perception of the same happenings….

All you can perceive of them, you see, is matter, because you automatically transform all data into matter patterns because of the nature of your own perceptions. [...]

[...] The primary personality must therefore deal with a much larger number of perceptions, while still maintaining its identity. [...]

[...] Both movement and weight, bodily weight for instance, enter in chapter five when Jane discusses physical matter and how its attributes change according to individual perception.

[...] Body consciousness itself is awakening, and this will add to his own perception. [...]

[...] In the waking state you check your perception against physical conditions. [...]

[...] In poetry perception is immediate, the words arranged to intuition’s order, and the very rhythm carrying its own sway.

(During break Jane mentioned she has no depth perception.)

[...] It is a method of perception. [...]

[...] Perhaps Seth/Jane’s perception of the rounded corners led to the statement concerning a round object inside the square.

[...] You will be able to see how extrasensory perceptions merge with personal associations, and watch the mind as it actually learns to perceive the difference.

[...] This is difficult simply because the data is legitimate to important layers of the personality, and you can see extrasensory perceptions as they merge with other associations.

[...] It will lead us into the heart of perception as you understand it and as you do not, as yet, understand it. [...]

The variations are indeed so artistically contrived, and so minutely constructed, as to escape your perception. [...]

[...] They have an esthetic appreciation of their own colors—a different kind, of course, than your perception of color. [...]

[...] Particularly when we are discussing issues of such complexity—issues seemingly so vast, and yet issues that are themselves responsible for your perception of a specific evening.

“If physical form is made up of such multitudinous, invisible particles, how much more highly organized must be the inner components of consciousness, without whose perceptions matter itself would be meaningless. [...]

[...] Your beliefs in such concepts limit your perception, for by altering the focus of your attention you can to some extent become aware of perception before and after the recognized points of birth and death.

[...] Boundaries are the results of the limitations of perception, for a unit seems to end where perception of it ceases.
