“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If you can, find a photograph of yourself as a member of a class — a graduation picture, perhaps, or a photograph of club members. [...] When you are finished, try to get a glimpse of those intimate relationships that each person had with other persons not present in the picture, but contemporary. [...]

[...] In certain terms they become the cell’s private “idea” of its own growth and development, a picture alive within the cell in terms of physical information, a part of its structure. [...]

[...] The picture of your world is still another.

[...] The picture of the world represents in a greater dimensional fashion the same kind of focus. [...]

[...] When the others look at our friends here on the fancy blue couch, they see a picture of true organization. [...] The picture is equalized. [...] And so the picture is very organized. [...]

As soon as you realize however that the picture is not complete, then you must begin to ask new questions, and the old idea of the perfect organization is gone. [...]

[...] The picture appears to be very organized. As soon as you realize that the picture is not complete, however, then you must begin to ask new questions, and the old idea of the perfect organization is gone.

Mental images therefore are extremely powerful, combining inner sound and its effects with a clear mental picture which will seek physical form. [...] They will have mental pictures connected with them.

[...] As you make lists of your beliefs you will find some of these pictures coming into your mind. [...] If you do not like what you see then quite consciously change the picture in your mind.

[...] Jane and I did not think of negative in connection with the word no, for instance, but in relation to pictures or visual images. On page two of his letter Wendell tells about a friend who works for the Neilson TV survey people—having to do with pictures. But also, negative, meaning pictures, is called to mind because Wendell’s letter deals with a group of artists who worked together in a studio, drawing comic strips, in 1941-3. In addition I personally have a studio here in the apartment, and the envelope used as object was kept in this studio. These references about studios, pictures, and the object crop up again later in the data also.

[...] Tonight’s object of course is not a picture or photo, but an envelope that contained a letter about people who make pictures. Also, I was taking pictures of Jane last week, as explained. [...]

[...] The picture data begins to emerge again. [...]

[...] He deals with the photo-picture-artist impressions on the one hand, and the actual envelope object, containing both printing and typing, on the other. [...]

You may see in a quick series of pictures a deep hole in the ground. [...] The picture of a character from an old book long forgotten may appear and disappear. [...]

[...] When you are at rest, awake but with eyes closed, images and pictures will often appear to your inner eye. [...]

There may seem to you to be no logic to these inner pictures, and certainly no connection between them and what you were thinking a moment before, or even an hour before. [...]

[...] He did this by recognizing the way he had earlier been building up the picture in the old manner, by collecting all the evidence that fitted it. He used the same process, only for a more beneficial picture, and the process works. [...]

[...] It is amazingly resilient, in that according to the belief structures of any given historical period, it can orient itself along the lines of those beliefs, using all of its reasoning abilities to bring such a world picture into focus, collecting data that agree, and rejecting what does not.

[...] You end up, then, with a consensus, generally speaking, as to what a reasonable picture of agreed-upon reality is. [...]

Sometimes in dreams you do tune in to a greater picture, but again, certain things appear to be facts, and against these so-called facts even definite experiences can appear ludicrous or chaotic.

[...] The artist may vividly evoke the image of a disappearing road that appears to be broad in the picture’s foreground, only to turn smaller and smaller until it seems to vanish in some distant hidden point. [...]

[...] When an artist paints a picture, he uses discrimination. [...]

The artist knows that many pictures can be painted, and holds in mind paintings already produced and those in the planning stage as well. [...]

On cellular levels the body has a picture not only of its own present condition, but of all those aspects of the physical environment that affect its own condition. [...]

[...] At one level, then, the body itself has a picture of reality of its own, upon which your conscious reality must be based — and yet the body’s terms of recognition or knowledge exist in terms so alien to your conscious ones as to be incomprehensible. [...]

[...] The psyche’s picture of reality, then, would be equally incomprehensible to the conscious mind because of the intense focus upon singularity that your usual consciousness requires.

Your dreams often give you glimpses, however, of the psyche’s picture of reality in that regard.

[...] There are genetic cultures operating, then, of literally infinite variety (intently), and they each have their place and their reason, and they each fit into the overall picture—not only of man’s reality but of the planet’s reality, including all of nature.

[...] Because this was like a mental doodle, the colors were not complete, the picture was not filled in.

The entire conversation was an attempt to make the event seem reasonable, an attempt to color in the picture.

[...] When you are painting pictures you are also translating inner knowledge. Early artists drew pictures to share the images they saw in their dreams. [...]

[...] Take your theaters’ moving picture dramas. [...]

[...] You have no words for the kinds of images I am speaking of, for they are not objects, nor pictures of objects, nor images of images, but instead the inner dimensions, each separate and glowing, but connected, prisms of knowledge, that have within themselves more reality than you can presently begin to imagine.

[...] The main picture will attract elements from all of the others, until you end up with an entirely different picture — one made up of many of the smaller scenes, but united in an entirely new fashion. [...]

Thoughts of your own next birthday, for instance, may instantly lead you to think of past ones, or a series of birthday pictures may come to mind of your own twelfth birthday, your third, your seventh, in an order uniquely your own. [...]

[...] Have the pictures begin at the upper left-hand corner, ending finally at the lower right-hand corner. [...]

The other exercises, in fact, will result in a clearer picture of the world, for they will facilitate the very motion of your perceptions, allowing you to perceive nuances in the physical situation that before would have escaped your notice. [...]

[...] In that picture all species alive at any time joined. [...] Those who cooperated survived, but they did not think in terms of the survival of their own species alone — but, in time terms, of a greater living picture, or world inviolate, in which all survived.

[...] Because you have a conscious mind, then, other portions of your being rely upon it to give them an adequate picture of your situation, and to give the conscious orders for action. [...] The picture of reality in time and space that you give to your cells must be accurate. [...]

[...] Instant images may come to mind at once, but if success is not achieved immediately, have the patient try again, for in almost all cases some inner pictures will be perceived.

[...] The pictures you see will follow your own unique leanings and characteristics.

Simply make a straightforward request, asking that some picture or image be presented in your inner mind, that will serve as representative of those portions of your own inner reality.

If you do not understand this, then you will take your newspapers and other news unthinkingly, thinking that a fairly adequate picture of world events is being portrayed—a picture that only deepens the negative feelings that are behind the invisible organization of such data. [...]

Regardless of these differences, the overall picture is largely the same: you cannot trust yourself, your body, the natural world. [...]

(10:14.) Many people are already beginning to alter their picture of the world, but they are afraid of trusting their own intuitions. [...]

[...] These then are taken as an objective picture of the fact world.

[...] It has been put together through the centuries, in your terms, in countless ways, bringing pictures of reality, each vivid, each contradicting the other to some extent. When man believed the world was flat, he used his thought processes in such a way that they had great difficulty in imagining any other kind of world, and read the evidence so that it fit the flat-world picture.

[...] It should not be forgotten, however, that such evidence gives a composite picture—not only of patterns of perception, but of habits of perception.

[...] The two pictures are roughly the same size, about 3¼ by 5". [...]

[...] In a childish hand Jane had scrawled her friend’s name on the back of the picture, along with the date. [...]

[...] But what of all the other paths our probable selves had embarked upon since those pictures had been taken? [...]

I am doing two things here — but you can also have the material on any picture separately if you choose to.

[...] Publishing them in paperback presents a different picture. Again, they do not fit into the overall occult picture as even the general public understands it. [...]

[...] While there is a lag, therefore, the overall picture is as I have given it in the past. [...]

[...] In ways the entire picture will change.

THE LIVING PICTURE OF THE WORLD

[...] The first chapter is entitled: “The Living Picture of the World.”

The living picture of the world grows within the mind. [...]

Now: You are the living picture of yourself. [...]

Behind these, so to speak, exist what you may term temperature pictures, in which delicate gradations of heat form ever-shifting emotional patterns that do have a semiphysical outline. [...]

[...] Such thermal pictures are found in what is called the old brain, and to these, the body responds with changes of temperature that sparks various chemical reactions.

[...] The data thus far has been seen as traveling from the inner self outward, as being translated from pure knowledge into thermal pictures, inner images and thoughts. [...]
