“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Talking represents a primary, the primary of communication. Walking represent a primary, the primary of motion. [...]

[...] Ruburt brought up a point, I believe; he observed that the experience of talking occurred in both the waking and the dreaming states, but did not think that these represented primaries.

(Seth’s malignant diagnosis in this session represents the most drastic to date, and left Jane and me wondering about the best course of action to take in such cases. [...]

[...] The beginning of our sessions represents to you your own version of hearing the voice of God, in that you felt that it was the first time in your life that in whatever guise, some portion of the universe “had a message for you”—or that you were in contact with anything beyond the ordinary, that at least held hopes for a glimpse of any real knowledge beyond the known.

[...] Your father represented your father, but he also stood for your version of the race [species] of man itself, of the nameless old men seemingly worn down by age, the lack of communication between nameless fathers and sons. [...]

The withered foot (of my father) represented any and all deformities, and the great gap you felt existed between man’s ideal, and his actualization of it.

[...] This represents the multidimensional entity that is both apart from and yet part of the separate life-traces. [...]

[...] Dreaming does represent an open channel through which the material environment is transcended. [...]

These interchanges represent periods in which the soul and flesh meet under the most optimum conditions. [...]

[...] However, the dream experience, you see, represents only a portion or particular range of intensities from a larger experience. [...]

The experience of emotions and thoughts and other psychological realities that do not take up space physically within your universe, all represent portions of, small portions of, what I will for now term initial experience. [...]

[...] In the breaking-down process the intensities are separated into the most minute values, each value an electrical impulse representing any one of many references. [...]

[...] Let the first house represent all negative ideas or constructions, and the new house represent the desired ideas or constructions. [...]

[...] In the exercise you see the house can simply represent fear, for a basic therapeutic method, and the new house confidence.

[...] The other apartment now, then, represents isolation, where when he was running away it represented independence.

Apartment 4 then represents old beliefs, both literal and symbolic at once then. [...]

Your sexual characteristics represent a portion of your personhood. [...]

[...] This particular latent biological ability shows itself only upon the rarest instances — because, for one thing, it represents a feat now scarcely desirable. [...]

In times of overpopulation, this mechanism is hardly desirable, but it is a part of the species held in abeyance now, representing nature’s capabilities. [...]

[...] It involved a cold unwelcoming room which represented I think the reception of my work or writing. [...]

But as the mind represents, and it does, motion and excitement to the trees, so would the consciousness, as it rustled through the cells and molecules of so-called space, represent refreshing experience and momentary new satisfactions.

—even when your own technological advancements prove beyond doubt that in many cases the evidence of your own outer senses is wrong, and does not represent reality, but represents an arbitrary pattern forced upon reality. [...]

[...] It would represent no more in one way to the atoms and molecules through which it passed, than the wind that passes through the treetops.

[...] Completed, the process would represent what would appear to be a propulsion of consciousness or self from the tissues.

Now: Ruburt was validly involved in the erection of that building, and he did indeed travel through various dimensions in which the objects in one represented something entirely different in another. He used the particular symbols, however, simply to bring the theory home to him, but it represented the fact that any given object in one dimension has its own reality in another. [...]

[...] The point of any image at any given time in the picture showing might represent, for example, a top hat on a table. [...]

(Pause.) If the picture were magically centered, then all “time” would be seen to flow out from the instant moment⁴ of perception, the private now; and in many ways the mass now, or mass perception, represents the overall now-point of your planet. [...]

(Slowly:) The simple picture of the universe that you see on our screen, therefore, represents a view from your own now perspective — but each star, planet, galaxy or whatever is made up of other reference points in which, to put it simply, the same patterns have different kinds of reality. [...]

Since those notes were born so directly from that event, and since they represent the first strong intrusions from the interior universe into my own life, I still find them intriguing. [...]

In The Seth Material, I included only a few brief quotes from “The Physical Universe As Idea Construction,” but here I will go into that manuscript somewhat more thoroughly, since it is so close to the “raw form” that erupted from that experience and represents, in embryo, I believe, the material that Seth would later be giving us. [...]

[...] It represents the emotional coloration of the individual’s ideas and constructions at any given “time.”

Though the construction of an idea seems to disappear physically, the idea which it represents still exists.

To some extent also the water symbol of the previous dream represented your mother’s womb, and was a connection to the penis symbol of the next dream. [...] And to you this would represent a type of execution.

[...] The snow and ice in the first dream represent the fact that your parents were not warm. [...]

[...] This represented further debt that he has taken on. [...]

[...] They also represent areas of no resistance for those mind-travelers who are probing inner realities. They represent uncluttered areas, but also open channels, inactive in themselves but passively waiting. [...]

They represent future experience, in your terms, that presently lies latent. [...]

[...] I’d surmised that their living conditions, in spite of the money they’d earned all their lives, represented their poor belief systems. And that, maybe, the young man they’d taken in represented me as I’d used to be, or a perpetuation of their belief systems into later generations. [...]

In their own ways, these are heroes representing the detective who is out to protect good against evil, to set things right. [...] These have their own kind of superlife because they so clearly represent certain living aspects within each psyche.

[...] Here each metropolis would represent a conglomeration of consciousnesses operating within an overall general frequency of clearest focus, a high point of psychic communication and exquisite focus in the given kind of reality. [...]

[...] These often represent strong idealizations alive in the private and mass psyche. [...]

[...] “It” is independent at its own level, yet it is also a part of the portion of the private and mass psyche that is so represented.

[...] It shows you that the rational world’s views do not represent the bulwarks of safety, but are instead barriers to the full use of the intellect, and of the intuitions.

[...] It can realize that its own knowledge represents the tip of the iceberg. [...]

[...] This represents a contradiction in the dream — or, rather, that I tried to combine two spans of time. [...]

“The statue of the deer represents that idealistic image of the past; finding it broken in Brenner’s yard connects its real environment where Rob lived as a small boy [on Harrison Street] to Wilbur Avenue where he lived later; meaning that he’d idealized both backgrounds. [...]

(Late yesterday afternoon my pendulum told me that Jane’s symptoms stemmed from her feeling that she had failed to become a successful “straight” writer—a novelist, poet, essayist, et al.; that she felt she had failed as the serious writer she had always dreamed of becoming, that the psychic work represented a turning down a wrong path; that actually, basically, the psychic work represented failure to her rather than success. [...]

[...] The mobility, the point of mobility, represented moving ahead in his work, or not moving ahead. [...]

[...] She also told me that to her the idea of stairs represented success and failure—up and down, etc.)

Now, the stairs represent going up and down on a treadmill, and getting nowhere. [...]

[...] In a fashion they simply represent beginnings and endings, the boundaries, the reaches and the limitations of your own span of attention.

[...] Our civilization appears as myth in other worlds; that kind of thing represents only one kind of overlay.

“I got unclear glimpses of material on Atlantis that I didn’t really get well enough to note down, and about Christianity, as both representing certain (other?) kinds of overlays and as examples of master events.

[...] The dream-art scientist, the true mental physicist, the complete physician — such designations represent the kinds of training that could allow you to understand the unknown, and therefore the known reality, and so become aware of the blueprints that exist behind the physical universe. [...]

[...] The individual’s good, therefore, is the society’s good, and represents spiritual and physical fulfillment. [...]

[...] It wasn’t that I mistrusted the Seth personality, but I felt it was a personification of something else — and that ‘something else’ wasn’t a person in our terms … Yet in an odd way I felt that he was more than that, or represented more; and that his psychological reality straddled worlds … I sensed a multidimensionality of personality that I couldn’t define.”

[...] They represent various aspects of yourselves. [...]

[...] Sexuality represents one aspect, and an important one. [...]

Now: Heterosexual love is one important expression of bisexuality, and sexually represents the reproductive abilities. [...]
