“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] She had thought the session terribly slow, and thus was surprised at the amount of time passed. She had thought of pauses between individual words while she spoke. [...]

[...] Seth as you then thought of him, was far more than a delivery boy however, for it was his peculiar personality, and his particular qualities, which gave the material life for you.

(In here Jane said she had visual inner images, as of stars being born, etc.— attempts, she thought, to put the inner data into recognizable visual terms.)

[...] This is partially what I am, far more than you are, or that Seth is as you thought of him.

[...] Jane seemed to take it well, and recovered okay, I thought.

[...] To a large extent, suggestions are tied into conscious thought processes, following the dictates of reason. [...]

You were more affected by your friend’s (Curtis Kent) departure than you realize, wondering if you yourself should find a better-paying commercial job, and yet angry that you even had such thoughts when what you really wanted was to stay home and paint.

[...] I have thought often that I’d leave the job eventually. [...]

(The first day after Jane got the call, we thought of all the reasons we didn’t want to do the show—including the material on the show and Susskind in Daniel Logan’s book, The Reluctant Prophet. The next morning, I arose with the thought that all our stewing was after all academic—Jane’s symptoms would prevent us from being on the show to begin with —we couldn’t see her physically negotiating airports, taxis, hotels, studios, New York City, etc.)

[...] But you must understand that in your mind—now, you, Joseph—have thought of the symptoms as the reason why the answer (in the negative) would be given—and that is using the symptoms as an excuse. [...]

(Jane’s first thought was to skip the session, but as the party downstairs got under way in a quiet fashion, and we were not called upon as 9 PM approached, she decided to hold it as usual.

(Shortly before session time Jane told me she had the thought that dreams and astral travel, or the astral body, were somehow connected. [...]

[...] We thought this stemmed from the fear of interruption because of the party downstairs, though we heard nothing.

[...] All such incidents, I told Jane, reinforce individual actions on the part of readers that would be quite rejected by the establishment: further signs of how far outside accepted thought Jane has found herself over the years. I explained here that I thought this has always bothered her deeply. [...]

[...] In them Seth briefly explained how Jane had created her symptoms as protection against the spontaneous self going too far: this fear was the real reason for the symptoms—not, as we usually thought, her fear that she would do other things besides work if she had normal mobility. [...]

(Yesterday morning, then, while painting, the thought came to me clearly: Jane does the Seth books just to please me. [...]

[...] That is, we can work on it if we want to, but with no thought of deadlines or signing a contract, which would commit Jane to additional public exposure. [...]

[...] I even thought that perhaps I was having some sort of physical attack, though I felt no pain.

[...] … Often, just beforehand Ruburt does not have a thought in his head … and then my ‘excellent’ dissertations begin, if you will forgive a touch of egoism on my part. [...]

[...] The inner senses led him into a reality he could not manipulate as easily as he could physical camouflage, and he feared what he thought of as a loss of mastery.

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

[...] I thought she acted well, though she said she was tired. [...]

[...] We also rather thought two participants were necessary to get good results with the cards.”)

[...] However I had to ask her to repeat several phrases, and thought she was tired. [...]

I am mentioning this material in the same session with the fifth inner sense so that you will finally understand that use of the fifth inner sense is not actually as strange as you may have thought it to be.

[...] (Long pause.) By the time Ruburt left the church, he thought that it had also lost its emotional pull upon him. [...]

[...] He did poorly in science in college, for that matter, for if his mind was too scientific for religious dogma, it was too creative and emotional for conventional scientific thought. [...]

(9:34.) Through the last few years religious fundamentalism has begun to grow, bringing to the forefront in exaggerated form many of the old beliefs with which Ruburt thought he had dispensed so neatly. [...]

[...] They seemed especially humiliating in the light of what he thought his public position should be. [...]

[...] Perhaps of cement—but of a stone, definitely a stone (Jane gestured, eyes closed, as though trying to pin down her thought) or sand-colored stone floor.

[...] I asked Jane if she thought it possible for her to be more specific about place names, initials, etc. [...]

(We arrived at the idea of similes for some of the specific material, in case the idea of being exact scared Jane off, and she said she thought the “green cabaret” data might be a case in point.

[...] She thought the statue might have been on an “island” in the center of the road. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Prentice-Hall, in capsule form, so to speak, is a representative of the most diverse kinds of thought currently held in your country — that is, under it’s overall auspices you have the most conventional establishment-oriented textbooks, devoted to continuing traditional ideas. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) They are in their way bridges between the two opposing ways of thought. [...]

[...] The textbook division represents the workings of the intellect in the usual terms of rational thought, and in those books the qualities of the imagination, of the psyche, of poetry, of creativity, are quite lacking. [...]

[...] The publishing house — that publishing house — represents in capsule form the extremes of thought of your time, from the most conventional to the most bizarre. [...]

To see clearly into your own mind you must first of all unstructure your thoughts, follow them without judging them, without comparing them to the framework of your beliefs.

[...] This information will not be a part of the organized structure of your usual thoughts; though the data is consciously available you can be relatively blind to it.

You may enjoy manipulating thoughts of time in your mind. [...]

You may occasionally employ the association of ideas, one thought leading easily to another. [...]

[...] I hardly thought it a coincidence that my side began bothering me—as it had years ago—just when we’d finished our work on the page proofs for Volume 2 of “Unknown” and Psyche, and I was free of that work load for the first time in a long while. I’d obtained what I thought was some good pendulum material on the problem, and wanted to see if Seth confirmed it. [...]

[...] I got my notebook and pens, and Jane said that at the same time she thought of a session, she “got that dozing-off feeling thing....” [...]

[...] They are clearing old thought patterns. [...]

(I felt a bit tired, but thought the malaise was more psychological than anything else. [...]

(Long pause at 8:53.) When it seems that left alone Ruburt’s condition will only worsen, you are following those old patterns of conditioned thought, projecting negative situations into the future, imagining the unfortunate outcome or outcomes, and acting as if you operated within a closed system. [...]

[...] The thoughts stemmed from my rather somber mood before the session. [...]

[...] Certain incidents, trivial in themselves, will at times carry a tremendous charge, not necessarily because he is repressing thoughts about the particular incident, but because the incident recalls unresolved past issues that he has psychically associated with it.

[...] The idea being to reproduce those daily activities and thoughts that naturally reinforce his strengths. [...]

He has automatically changed many areas of thought over the past year. [...]

[...] The source of its power is so great that its imaginings become worlds, but it is endowed with a creativity of such splendor that it seeks the finest fulfillment, for even the smallest of its thoughts and all of its potentials are directed with a good intent that is literally beyond all imagining.

(10:10 P.M. “I thought you didn’t want Seth to say anything about Billy tonight?” I asked Jane as she easily came out of trance.

[...] I thought her own physical difficulties must play a strong role here, although she didn’t say so. [...]

The power that fuels your thoughts has the same source. [...]

[...] Scientific analysis of the brain will tell you nothing about the power that moves your thoughts, or hint at the source of the brain’s abilities. [...]

[...] As a result you deal with methods of division and categorization so completely that you lose sight of associative organizations, even though you use them constantly in your own most intimate thought processes.

[...] Perhaps, Jane had wanted more physical and psychic activity all along, I thought—more tours, TV, publicity, fame, money, whatever—but all those things she held back on because of my own negative attitudes. [...]

Man painted, thought, dreamed, sang, and so forth from the beginning. [...]

(10:20.) The creative self, however, is not nearly as specific in nature as Ruburt once thought, when he considered himself a writer only. [...]

My thoughts go buzzing
