“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Want to make a note also about feelings on awakening from nap—tho I don’t recall them too clearly. The idea was that my belief in an extraordinary or supernatural force, working through nature, sustained me as a child. When I saw through the conventions and dogmas of the church, I threw the whole idea overboard. In a way later, I “put my faith” in Rob as being older, wiser, and so forth, and idealized him. Then, discovering that he was, after all, fallible, I felt betrayed; and worse I felt for some periods that he rejected me. This was years ago. But I no longer felt as I did as a child, that the universe was well-intended or cared for me particularly; and looking about the world saw personal threats. I kept searching through my work...disliking organized religions with their distortions and suspecting the “supernatural” that went along with it. During this entire period, I developed a way of retreating from the world — habits of thought and action. People who profess belief in God often are so... mean-minded, fanatical... that I threw the belief out the window. All I can say is— what would they be like if they didn’t... “believe in God?” I considered prayer embarrassing, demeaning... I think Rob considers it embarrassing—but I don’t KNOW that he does.

[...] Remembered James, I guess,/ and return to natural data; asked for help from supernatural force working through nature and then concentrated on the TV while eating. [...]

(Smile:) The supernatural radio that is your entire psyche contains many such stations, however. [...] Because these stations all operate within the same psyche or supernatural radio, the overall quality of the programs will have much to do with the nature of the psyche itself. [...] In the same way, the “supernatural psyche” exists apart from the stations of consciousness that it contains. [...]

[...] (Pause.) For now think of your own psyche, which is a consciousized identity, as a kind of “supernatural radio.” [...]

In a manner of speaking, then, supernatural help is available, but only when your own beliefs are clear enough so that the help is not blocked. By supernatural I mean the source from which nature springs, and Framework 2 represents the medium in which the natural and the source of the natural merge in a creative gestalt. [...]

[...] When you imagine a life after death as unnatural or supernatural then you feel divorced, cut off and bewildered. [...]

[...] That focus inclines him to a quite literal insistence that his creative material should in its way act like some supernatural doctor’s prescription that can be at once taken like a pill to solve each and every problem of each and every correspondent, and of course to solve his own problems as well.

The precise delineation helped create the subject of the painting beautifully, with almost “supernatural” in quotes, precision. [...]

Darwin was faced with the proposition of a kind god who was more cruel than any human being, and with supernatural power behind him to boot—so Darwin tried to justify God’s ways to man. [...]

(Bill remarked that in terms of our existence our Christ was a supernatural being.)

[...] I never considered them supernormal, or rather, supernatural. [...]

[...] Nature is supernatural all the while, of course.

[...] These are not supernatural abilities. [...]
