“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You have a true or false world in that regard, and a relatively very flat psychological view of identity. Within that framework, however, you do have the creative abilities, and these stand out in their own fashions, since they “play with the facts.” They often do not honor conceptual conventions. They do not fit the true-or-false category. The imagination can of course conceive of many events, whether or not those events actually exist.

This applies not only to seemingly “pure” objective events, but to the more complicated event of an individual psychological being. Indeed, the entirety of your own identities does not usually appear to you in your lifetimes, because that reality is too complicated, too multidimensional, to fit into your accepted picture of personhood. In that regard the larger facts would not show themselves. There would be no way for you to perceive them from within (underlined) your system of reality.

(Pause.) Creative abilities are most helpful in that regard, for they are able to stretch recognizable concepts to their uttermost, allowing you some glimpses of organizations too vast for your own world’s dimensionalities.

(9:14.) The yes-or-no, true-or-false categories simply do not work when you are dealing with such issues. (Long pause.) In that regard it is important that he realize this. The entire concept of the Sinful Self can only exist at certain levels of experience. It can only seem to make sense in a very limited context. (Pause.) The creative abilities most often serve as psychological bridges, enabling man to conceive of the existence of realities outside of his own particular point of reference. They can hint at the greater diversity of being, the larger dimension of events. They can present dramatizations. They can serve as thresholds (long pause), but they cannot contain direct experience themselves with events that are intrinsically beyond those reaches.

(At the same time, Jane also liked my concluding material in the notes, regarding the integration of each portion of the personality into one whole, and so thus attaining the freedom to follow any chosen course of action in the world.

[...] Difficulties arise, however, in book dictation on those occasions when he becomes too heavy-handed and worries about the responsibility of helping to solve the world’s problems—about his or my capacities in that regard, and when he considers the possible and various objections that any given subject matter might activate on the part of any given group of people. [...]

[...] Because you have no set hours in that regard, Ruburt has filled all of them with “I should do this,” or “I should be doing that,” or “What should I be doing now?” —and that alone blocks creative flow. [...]

(Pause at 10:40.) In that regard Ruburt’s material is correct; simply by being itself our material serves its purpose—and its purpose is multitudinous. [...]

(Regarding “Two children”, interpreted on page 22. [...]

(Regarding “Vases”, interpreted on page 23. [...]

All of tonight’s material is important in that regard. [...]

(Loudly:) End of session, and my heartiest and sweetest regards to each of you.

[...] Now painting is in one regard timeless, though it will flow into time. [...] It can be a joyful exercise of the body, the natural life being reinforced, and it can also provide feelings of timelessness, so that in that regard your love of timelessness can be combined with your love of the moment.

[...] There is a line in the point of power material to that regard.

[...] It is true that he is quite aware of his bodily conditions, and yet overall he is not concentrating upon them, or regarding them negatively. [...]

[...] You both tried to find a framework in which you could have two lives at once in that regard—and putting those two together is taking some doing.

[...] You are too earnest in that regard. [...]

[...] Expect another tape at a later time, and we will cover more regarding will. [...]

Now—I would like to make a few comments regarding what Ruburt just said. [...]

[...] A complex variety of feelings and emotions are involved—they rise and fall, but they do not begin and end in that particular regard.

In that regard, Ruburt’s creativity kept struggling for its own growth and value fulfillment. [...]

His poetry acted in some regards as a stimulator. [...]

In that regard, you have what amounts to a creative dilemma. [...]

[...] Another image of the self comes into consideration, so that it seems to him that he is expected to be nearly a saintly self—or at least that he is regarded as someone who is expected to perform in an altogether superlative fashion. [...]

There are dreams of different import, some triggered genetically, that serve as sparks for particular kinds of behavior—dreams, in other words, that literally span the centuries in that regard, coiled latently in the very chromosomes; and no level of consciousness is without some kind of participation in dream states. In that regard even electrons, for example, dream. [...]

[...] My heartiest regards and a fond good evening.

[...] If you were his age he would not be so frightened in this regard.

[...] My heartiest regards to you both.

[...] To expect any kind of commitment to an invisible future is too much in that regard. [...]

[...] In terms of creativity, however, Ruburt has long been operating in Framework 2, and this session should help him make certain correlations so that he can automatically begin to use such methods in regard to his physical condition.

[...] I hope that the session will arouse you both in that regard.

The two of you often misunderstand your patterns of behavior in that regard, for they operate at many levels of your lives. [...]

You can try this even in regard to color. [...]

(I explained now to Jane that the material tonight was very good, and that I hadn’t given her clues to it, etc., especially as regards the color experiments, characterization, the full-figure work, the essentials required for drawing the full figure convincingly, etc. [...]

[...] I will then end our session, with my heartiest regards to you both. [...]

(Once again, the material in the last delivery was very good, with much intuitive insight as regards character, background, emotion, etc., in painting. [...]

[...] In a woman who regards herself as intellectual, the same connotations apply.

[...] My heartiest regards and a fond good evening.

[...] You both felt sure of yourselves, in that regard. In that regard. [...]

[...] If you understand what I am saying, then you will realize that basically your impulses will never betray you, but always add to your natural fulfillment, and that of your abilities; so have him, again, try to be more permissive in that regard. [...]

[...] The idea of a personal universe is highly important, and I will have more to say in that regard.

End of a brief session, and my heartiest regards. [...]

[...] The conscious mind is quite willing to let go in that regard, for art not only provides it with enjoyment but fulfills its own framework of action. It does not regard art as a game, exactly, but it does not expect the same rules to apply, either, to a painted apple on a canvas and a real one. [...]

[...] To an extent you develop habitual patterns of reference in that regard, so that certain cues in the environment automatically trigger the familiar neurological activity. [...]

You can help by reminding him that there is no reason to be fearful in that regard. [...]

[...] The ability to communicate is yours, and you are highly gifted in that regard. [...] Once you realize this and understand it, you can begin to relax in that regard.

[...] It is in this regard that you found the presence of your husband distracting when the two of you moved. [...]

[...] You are beginning to force other people to relate to you in that regard. [...]

[...] In the main, you are forcing others again to relate to you in that regard. [...]

In regard to Philip, a separation of elements I do not understand. [...]

(John verified Seth’s material regarding his wife, Mary Ellen. [...]

My heartiest regards, and I will get my gold star; though you shall have trouble pinning it on me.

(Regarding the data on page 260: John made no connections about a party, the numbers 4, 2 and one or two others, and something drive, the name of a road or location.

Generally speaking, large segments of your official society do not regard the pursuit of art as responsible behavior. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Because women were somehow regarded as less responsible than males, more easily given to frivolity, Ruburt also tried even harder to insure that he was acting in a responsible way. [...]

[...] He is still harder on women than he is on men in that regard. [...]

[...] It serves as a constant reminder of what many people regard as her responsibility, and could be more of an impediment or irritant than I had suspected, I told her the other day. [...]

[...] You clearly made it known that you expected him to behave in that one regard in a different manner. [...]

The spontaneous love-making is an improvement, and important, and Ruburt’s remarks to you today were pertinent in that regard. [...]

You have not used areas open to you in that regard. [...]

My heartiest regards, and a fond good evening.
