[...] (Pause.) Give us time… He did not feel that any love was his by right, yours or anyone else’s: therefore he did not feel worthy of it, and in the face of any difficulty between you he suspected it, thought then that you no longer loved him.

[...] Whenever he thought anything differently than the opinions you voiced, he felt inward and refused to express himself regardless of the issue involved—its triviality or its importance.

[...] This means you should try better to communicate your thoughts and feelings. [...]

[...] I thought the session was excellent.)

[...] In short, I thought it grossly unfair that the cause of the accident was still alive—although hospitalized —while two “innocent” victims were dead, with a whole family damaged beyond repair, for life. [...] I thought it a classic example that could be explained in Seth’s terms, though—the type of new information that at least could try to make sense out of such seemingly random happenings that we see as so tragic. [...]

[...] This does not mean that they arose often to the conventional conscious mind, yet even then there were fairly frequent-enough thoughts, for example: What will happen if I hit another car when I’m driving? [...]

[...] Some we thought would be glad to, others most vehemently not. [...]

(At first I thought it was a trick of sunlight—which was quite diluted as it came through the room’s east windows—but all of a sudden I stopped to look at the painting as it sat on the shelf I’d built high up on the south wall just inside the door. [...]

(One of the first thoughts that came to mind after I realized what was happening was Jane’s book on Rembrandt. [...]

(Carla was back from vacation, and I thought she might help Jane call me tonight. [...]

(2:54.) You may therefore be trying out many different kinds of experiences, sometimes endowing yourself with super attributes and strength, relying upon the body’s powers above all other considerations, while at the same time in another life you use and develop unusual mental abilities, enjoying the triumphs of creative thought, while largely ignoring the body’s agility and strength.

[...] I thought suggestion was operating, that I was telling myself I needed new glasses, whereas before receiving the notice I’d felt okay. [...]

[...] I’d thought it was the opposite, of course. [...]

A psychic, he thought, should be calm, untouched by physical events, highly disciplined, rather than spontaneous, such as he was, and sensitive to inner moods, which he was. [...]

[...] He must then behave, he thought, in a measured, reasoned, quiet, calm and disciplined way: and to see that he did, he slowed down the motions the body could make. [...]

[...] While she ate I described my reactions to and thoughts about Quest for Fire, a well-known movie of a couple of years ago that I’d seen part of on television’s Showtime channel while eating supper last night.

[...] She’d already told me she thought Seth would comment on the movie.)

(4:19 p.m. Neither of us had particularly thought that my dream-paternal feelings represented an analogy with the way early man had expanded his own knowledge while in the dream state — but we saw the connection as soon as Seth mentioned it. [...]

(I thought, as soon as Seth had mentioned it, that the data regarding the Speakers and oral traditions went way back to when Jane produced Seth Speaks in 1970–71. [...]

[...] All other portions of the self were pared down so that the writer, he thought, could function better.

At the same time, because of it, and because of his love for you, Ruburt tried to be the good wife by relating to you in the way he thought you wanted him to—as a writer. [...]

[...] Jane thought that in the previous session she had quite often received the answer to my questions mentally, before the board had a chance to spell them out. [...]

Thought waves, time currents.

So the psychic families, or the families of consciousness, can be thought of as natives of inner countries of the mind, sharing heritages, purposes, and intents that may have little to do with the physical countries in which you live your surface lives. [...]

[...] There wasn’t anything in my thought patterns that he could make words out of to express what he wanted to say. [...]

[...] “He’s found something in my thought patterns he can use …” She sat with her head down. [...]

If you would identify with your own psychological reality, following the inward structure of thoughts and feelings, you would discover an inward psychological infinity. [...]

[...] Indeed, how irritating it was, I thought, that for Jane and me at least the magical self seemed to be so far removed from daily reality, while the sinful self was so close! Reaching out to the magical self could be thought of as some theoretically attainable goal—but the sinful self was right there, functioning within the most intimate areas of personal life. [...]

[...] I thought the simple services in which our President and Vice-President were sworn into office were extremely moving: Unable to speak because of my emotion, I sat beside Jane on the couch while we watched the ceremonies on television, and had soup and crackers for lunch. [...]

[...] And those acts of ours, I thought, while so small compared to the national dramas being enacted, actually were our contribution to those great plays. [...]

[...] We’d known that Emir hadn’t been setting any records since its publication in September 1979, but we’d also thought the book’s sales were respectable enough that the people at Delacorte Press would keep it in print until it became better known. [...]

[...] We did not know about the Ali Baba display at Story Book Land, and had no thought of linking up the “Vases” data with this. [...]

[...] When you become overly concerned or worried in any area, remember that you are thinking those thoughts while the process of thinking is utterly effortless. [...]

[...] At least I thought I was.” [...]

[...] After expressing a couple of reassuring thoughts for Jane, in line with his private material for Monday night’s session, Seth said good night at 10:15 P.M. “Listen, I came so close to not having this session,” Jane said. [...]

“I thought it was [book] dictation right away,” I laughed, “but I didn’t ask.” [...]

(“Many instances could be thought of—re Van Elver; the mathematician in Edinburgh; re my telepathic experience in Wyoming last year; the auto accident data involving Bill Macdonnel in California, etc. [...]

[...] I commented aloud to Jane about how I thought that I had been using my psychic abilities in my paintings, quite consciously and deliberately as a most welcome aid.

[...] He realizes that he is a creator of the book, not its prisoner, and he once thought that he was. [...]

[...] Retracing is a noticeable effect, not understood, highly distorted, in the explanations you have been given, representing an echoing effect that occurs whenever the individual involved touches upon those thought and feeling areas that brought about the difficulty.

A consideration of his own feelings and attitudes in class will help him see what he does right then, and what negative thoughts and emotions are present at many other occasions. [...]

[...] He also stopped writing what he thought of as pessimistic poetry, which had performed the same function, allowing for the expression of fearful emotions. [...]

[...] Some people thought that I was trying to put Seth down, or deny them the aid of a super-being when at last they thought they’d found one.

[...] “We are gods couched in creaturehood,” Seth says, given the ability to form our experience as our thoughts and feelings become actualized.

(And inevitably so, I thought.)

[...] All in all, I thought she was “recovering” quite easily from Seth’s data, and that she was helped here because we’d revisited the hill house today. [...]
