“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] They were “somewhat less” than those of last Monday, but still powerful. [...]

[...] When Ruburt left that system intellectually some of the old bonding power remained, the emotional glue, but he no longer believed in the indulgences, the sacraments and so forth, so the Sinful Self was left fairly isolated, still believing to some extent that to “be good” it must be bad, but without the releases of guilt once provided by churchly help and belief. [...]

[...] It was at the time strong and powerful enough to have its way, and it did not have experience enough behind it. [...]

[...] Jane told me she really felt a focus of concentrated power emanating through her hands; even when they did not touch the table, the table obeyed.)

[...] The natural man, the natural person, knows that art provides its own sense of creative power. In a fashion it makes no difference how many other children have drawn circles or triangles with great curious glee, quite astonished at their own power to do so. They may have seen circles or triangles countless times, but the first drawn circle is always original to the drawer, and always brings a sense of power. [...]

[...] He feels that he has lost his power, because he does not believe that the individual, with all his capacities, really has any effective power in the cultural world. [...]

When he comes to believe otherwise, he will begin to see data that bears out the new premise, and therefore his own power will once more become effective.

[...] It is the same thing you see, as projecting upon a hypothetical devil all kinds of powers of destruction. You can do the same thing without realizing it by projecting into the idea of violence, all powers, and then it seems to you that life itself has no ability to protect itself and that any stray thought of violence or disaster will immediately zoom home and that the recipient has no way to protect himself. [...]

[...] The aggression that he feared was not so great and big and powerful and black and hairy and threatening as he thought. [...]

[...] I asked if Seth could comment on the fact that F. Fell had canceled, or postponed, the appearance of the paperback edition of Jane’s ESP Power. [...]

[...] In periods of great physical stress it draws upon the powers of the body and inner self to perform remarkable feats of heroism — that leave it wondering afterward at the power and energy of the self in crisis.

[...] Consciousness finds itself in a crisis situation; not [because of one coming] from the exterior world, but because it is forced to fight on a battleground for which it was never designed and cannot understand, where basically counted-upon allies of association, memory and organization, and all the powers of the inner self, are suddenly turned into enemies.

But when the conscious mind is forced to face far less pleasant encounters, and is robbed of its power to reason at the same time, then you do indeed insult the basis of its being.

[...] In that particular book (Mass Events)—rather powerful honored aspects, and criticism will (underlined) meet criticism. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The disclaimer in no way lessens the power of impact of the book. [...]

[...] The intensity of the original emotional energy controls the activity, the strength, the stability, and the relative size of the unit; the rate of its pulsation, and its power to attract and repel other units, and its ability to combine with other units. [...]

[...] They can however lose or gain power, fall back into intensities beneath matter, or go through matter, appearing as matter as they do so, and projecting through your system. [...]

[...] In some incarnations, the abilities might be used so powerfully that all other aspects of the personality remained in the background. [...]

[...] They have at times worked within organizations as in Egypt, where they worked through the temples and became involved with the power structures. [...]

[...] In this session, in the words I speak — but more importantly in the atmosphere of the session — there are hints of those undecipherable yet powerful realities that will then, in your time, gradually be described in verbal terms that make sense to you.

[...] “I had a sense of power that I usually don’t get. [...]

[...] Man was growing more and more aware of the ego, of a sense of power over nature, and many of the later miracles are presented in such a way that nature is forced to behave differently than in its usual mode. [...]

[...] God behaved exactly as an enraged child would, had he those powers, sending thunder and lightning and fire against his enemies, destroying them. [...]

[...] He became the reflection of man’s emerging ego, with all of its brilliance, savagery, power, and intent for mastery. [...]

[...] Instead it must recognize its power as the director of probable action, and no longer inhibit its own greater capacities.

[...] Often nations acted as group egos — each with its own god-picturing, its own concepts of power. [...]

[...] I am not suggesting that its edges be blurred by a powerful unconscious.

[...] God gave you powers of creativity. [...]

(9:51.) The point of power exercise can be utilized from these other levels, where the inner mobility is then seen “rising upward”. [...]

In actuality, people in those circumstances are often so frightened of the use of power that the idea of being under constant surveillance actually lends them a sense of protection.

3. A note added later: I found most of the material Seth had delivered since 10:11, but especially at this point, to be strongly reminiscent of a passage in the 657th session in Chapter 15 of Personal Reality. I’ve put together these excerpts from that session: “Each of your reincarnational selves has its own ‘points of power,’ or successive moments, in which it materializes daily existence in a linear manner from all the probabilities available to it. In a way that will be explained in another book, there is a kind of coincidence with all of these present points of power that exists between you and your ‘reincarnational’ selves. There is a constant interaction in this multidimensional point of power, therefore, so that in your terms, one incarnated self draws from all of the others what abilities it wants. [...]

[...] (Although not bringing up his ideas of reincarnation or points of power in the 683rd session, Seth implied both of those qualities in many parts of that material.)

[...] With the writing I sought to make sense of everything at least intellectually, but for the moment at least, I thought, this left untouched what seemed to be the more powerful emotional tangle of beliefs. [...]

Many appearances make those statements look evidential but they are only evidential in that they show the power of beliefs and suggestion. [...]

The morning symptoms here represented in concentrated form the vanishing power of the illness that swept him through, the vanishing force of what was an all-day condition at one time. [...]

[...] (In the last session.) They are vanishing, in that they no longer have the power to frighten him in the same way that his physical symptoms had in the past. [...]

[...] Although she is unaware of it, she is telepathically conscious of all such powerfully-negative suggestions. [...]

(Positive suggestion is a powerful weapon, as Jane and I have learned personally, through trial and error. [...]
