“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] At 11:00 this morning I’d about decided the hill was too dangerous to drive; I thought of calling the nursing station at A-3. Then the sand truck came. [...]

[...] Nevertheless, as she said, it was something she wouldn’t have even thought of a couple of weeks ago—another great sign, I told her. [...]

[...] Again, this is a new thought in the material. [...]

[...] I almost got the feeling that in the next year or so we could see things happen that would turn our whole world around, and in a way that ordinarily would be thought impossible.” [...]

[...] They wondered where their thoughts went after they had them, and they imagined that in one way or another those thoughts turned into the birds and rocks, the animals and trees that were themselves ever-changing.

[...] He had not yet covered over that process with the kind of smooth continuity that your own consciousness has now achieved — so when he thought a thought he was filled with curiosity: Where had it come from? [...]

Such personalities try to affect the feelings and thoughts of a civilization, for these thoughts and feelings will alone bring about events. [...]

[...] Dimly through many cycles of such activities, they become aware of the existence of conceptual thought. [...]

Such personalities will concentrate their main activities in such a way that they can best affect conceptual thought, and bring about necessary changes. [...]

[...] Such thoughts follow “naturally” the dictums of so-called rational thought. When you think such thoughts, you think of them at the most strained level of intellectual speculation — that is, the thoughts seem self-evident to the intellect that is forced to operate by itself, relatively speaking, divorced from the self’s other faculties. [...]

[...] This is one of those obvious ideas that seem childish once it’s thought of. I don’t care whether or not it’s a profound thought; it has meaning for me. [...]

[...] Your thoughts and your body seem separate. [...]

[...] Ruburt tries to prove that he is reasonable, rational (underlined), where such people, he feels, have never learned to use their powers of reason, and instead trust every stray thought that comes into their heads. [...]

[...] I thought I had three choices: eliminate; cut down; shift into an appendix. I needed Seth’s ideas, I thought.

[...] I’d felt much better since last June, and thought I’d learned enough since then so that I didn’t need to bother the stomach any more—but evidently I hadn’t after all.

[...] So I felt guilty—I thought—about not concentrating on Seth’s book. [...]

[...] Avoid thoughts of regret (as I mentioned to Jane this morning). [...]

(I thought the copper insufficient in quantity, but we unrolled it upon the table, and lit the incense. [...] I thought the trappings might bring forth some rather pungent comments from Seth, but kept my own counsel. [...]

This mental enclosure can be thought of as somewhat of a manufacturing plant, from which all material manifestations must come. [...]

I will now bring the session to a close regretfully, and despite the incense and copper so thoughtfully presented. [...]

[...] Without much thought Jane and I had taken the data given on this instance to refer also to John’s September 2 date, since by coincidence the 84th session also fell due on September 2. This evening John said that he’d had no “disagreement in a kitchen, involving two women and a man, with a child close by,” on September 2. So now we wonder whether the above incident is precognition, with the actual date being blocked by Jane, or whether Jane is just plain in error.)

[...] It is your most intimate feedback system, changing with your thought and experience, giving you in flesh the physical counterpart of your thought. So it is futile to become angry at a symptom, or to deride the body for its condition when it is presenting you with the corporeal replica of your own thought, as it was meant to do.

[...] You have been taught that there is little connection between your thought and your body’s activities.

[...] If only your “positive” beliefs were materialized then you would never clearly comprehend the power of your thought, for you would not completely experience its physical results.

(She felt pretty relaxed by the time the movie was over, but wanted to have the session because she thought it would contain material on Scott Nearing.)

[...] He enjoyed the thought of mediums defying organized religions, and of women in such a position putting scientific establishment investigators to shame. [...]

[...] He grew sore with the worker’s plight, and felt that thoughts of art, spiritual merit, or pretensions were meaningless if men were ill-fed. [...]

Nearing had turned away from such goods and products, yet he had in his earlier years thought that these if were only distributed equally the world would be changed for the better. [...]

Now: In my home environment I assume whatever shape I please, and it may vary, and does, with the nature of my thoughts. [...] You usually do not realize that your physical body is created by you at each moment as a direct result of your inner conception of what you are, or that it changes in important chemical and electromagnetic ways with the ever-moving pace of your own thought.

They are created by our mental patterns, [just] as your own physical reality is created in perfect replica of your inner desires and thoughts. [...]

[...] Simultaneously you may create a “thought-form” of yourself, identical in every respect, and this may appear in the room of a friend quite without your conscious awareness. [...]

[...] We thought the tape contained a number of negative suggestions, though how one deals with physical troubles without sounding negative at times may be a problem in itself. [...]

[...] She thought it possible. [...]

3. When your thoughts do touch upon your particular problem in that present moment, imagine the best possible solution to the dilemma. [...]

[...] Again, we want, say, the release of painful thoughts or emotions somehow balanced by the steps I gave today, so that they provide a kind of supporting framework.

Old habitual thought patterns are being worked out through the dream communications. [...]

[...] Jane has had many welcome signs of improvement within the last week or two; I thought it best that she continue doing her own thing that way, with help from Seth at the end of the regular sessions.)

[...] I tell the “help” that this isn’t my cup of tea, they will have to help; at the same time I discover that this isn’t the best silver as I’d thought but serviceable enough stuff. [...]

[...] There was a feeling of disappointment connected and I’d say that it represents some feelings about my abilities—I thought they were sterling—really terrific—and wore myself out caring for them, but I fear that they are only very good serviceable ones after all, their earlier promise not proving true.... [...]

[...] Your own conscious thoughts will give you excellent clues. Often you will find yourself refusing to accept certain thoughts that come to your mind because they conflict with other usually accepted ideas.

Your environment is the physical picture of your thoughts, emotions and beliefs made visible. Since your thoughts, emotions and beliefs move through space and time, you therefore affect physical conditions separate from you.

[...] These personal ideas about yourself and the nature of reality will affect your thoughts and emotions. [...]

Each person experiences a unique reality, different from any other individual’s. This reality springs outward from the inner landscape of thoughts, feelings, expectations and beliefs. [...]

He thought that he would have your approval, that you also would do anything necessary in order to put all of your energies into your work. He thought he was showing you he was (underlined) determined to take advantage of the opportunity you gave him.

[...] He tried to emulate what he thought your actions would be in the same circumstances at the time this began.

You had the discipline by nature, he thought. [...]

[...] He leaped over that barrier, and when you thought you had given him the opportunity to be free, he was not about to misuse it. [...]

(Jane called Leonard Yaudes this morning while I was painting [I thought she was talking to Peg G.], and said later that she was picking up from Seth a good deal of excellent material on the body consciousness, our social mores re illness, and my own recent panicky hassles after Leonard’s operation a couple of weeks ago. [...]

[...] Whenever you thought of Leonard, you told yourself to forget it. [...]

Actually, Ruburt had thought of calling before, but also did not for fear of aggravating your own situation. [...]

[...] Again, they could have been simply translated into a thought like: “Maybe I should call Leonard. [...]

[...] Either you thought of this or they have thought of you, and some communications, though of an informal nature, may have happened in the past. [...]

[...] (What a grim situation, I thought.)

[...] It will be quite obvious that telepathic thoughts travel quicker than good news or faster than a pestilence. [...]

[...] From its framework you will see that physical time is as dreamlike as you once thought inner time was. [...]

[...] If such thoughts do come to the foreground of attention, then you are not ready to proceed. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) When you were a child you thought in a freer fashion, but little by little you were educated to use words in a certain way. You discovered that your needs were met more quickly, and you received approval more often, when you thought and spoke in that particular manner. [...]

(Long pause at 4:44.) What you are involved in then is really, of course, a completely new educational procedure, so that you are at least able to distinguish one style of thought from another, and therefore be freer to make choices.

(She thought the information would be part of this book. Another idea—“It’s no big deal”—was that for centuries man thought the universe was created for man, and everything else revolved around man.

[...] By session time they were somewhat diminished, but were very inhibiting during the day, making me hesitate to do the things I’d ordinarily do without a second thought, such as drive to the post office to mail Jane’s intro for Sue’s book Conversations With Seth. [...]

[...] The body consciousness, watching the news, would think—if it thought as you do—“What activity, what commotion, what excitement (almost laughing), what a conglomeration of smells and sights, what a congregation of my fellows, running and chasing, rising and falling, even living and dying. [...]

[...] Jane came out of trance quickly, but before I could even tell her how good I thought the session was, she now told me that lately she’s been picking up from Seth that animal consciousness is turned inward to form the civilization of nature, and that ours is turned outward into our physical civilizations—but that ours have to be built upon that civilization of nature.
