“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] In the same way that your thoughts have a reality in Framework 2, and only for the sake of a meaningful analogy, thoughts could be said to be the equivalent, now, of objects; for in Framework 2 thoughts and feelings are far more important even than objects are in physical reality.

[...] Thoughts have what we will for now term electromagnetic properties. In those terms your thoughts mix and match with others in Framework 2, creating mass patterns that form the overall psychological basis behind world events. [...] Constructive or “positive” feelings or thoughts are more easily materialized than “negative” ones, because they are in keeping with Framework 2’s characteristics.²

In Framework 2 thoughts instantly form patterns. [...]

[...] The psychological connections, however, are far more complicated, so that each individual’s dreams and thoughts interweave with every other person’s, forming ever-changing patterns of desire and intent. [...]

(After I received no answer at Paul’s office, I thought of waiting to call him at home after supper tonight, with Jane’s agreement. [...] Jane said she thought he took Mondays off, whereas I’d thought he took a midweek day off.)

[...] Jane said she thought Paul O’Neill has strong healing abilities.

[...] He did not, however, imagine himself, for example, falling, except I believe in one or two very brief thoughts. [...]

To remind him, however, that others went up those stairs without a thought, was no help at all (intently), whether or not it is true, for that aroused instant contradictions. [...]

With the intent in mind, you will find your inner vision inclining toward a particular direction of the room, and even your thoughts will seem to follow in the same direction. [...] Let it be joined by an imaginary line from the top of your skull, following the same direction in which your thoughts seem to flow.

[...] She wondered if the 592nd session would be suitable, and I told her that I thought Seth had planned it that way. [...]

[...] The electromagnetic aspects of thoughts and emotions, the animations, are drawn through points that can compare to miniature black holes. [...]

In Atlantis there were those who utilized this knowledge, accelerating certain thoughts through concentration, emphasizing certain feelings so as to send them through these coordination points. [...]

[...] You both thought in terms of problems when you considered money, for example; you thought of the problems involved.

When you thought of the kind of painting you wanted to do you did the same thing. [...]

[...] I thought it was clear.

(One of my first thoughts was that the dreaded time had come—that no matter what Seth had been saying lately, or what Jane and I thought about her getting better, she was actually worse off than ever. [...] I thought that even my wife would be forced to agree to such a move. [...]

[...] At one time Jane thought she was on the commode in the bedroom, and began to pull up her blouse. Another time she thought she was in her writing room while I did the dishes. [...]

[...] That leaves but one alternative, and my thought and fear is that if Jane goes into the hospital again, the sessions are over—for good. [...] Of such ingredients are cosmic farces made, I thought. [...]

[...] “That’s a good thought,” she said. [...] Can you turn the TV on a little?” I did—to Alec Guinness in the excellent TV movie, Smiley’s People, on channel 7. Once again I thought Jane looked like she might want to cry, but the moment passed. [...]

[...] Every thought has this same electric potential. Thoughts are often translated into dream images by a simple transformation. There is little difference indeed, basically, between physical images and dream images, and apparitions, and very little difference between these and thoughts and emotions.

[...] At first thought she recalled nothing involving herself as a 15-year-old. Lorraine then began to recall bits and pieces of events which, she thought, might fall within the pattern Seth had been producing in the rest of the data.

[...] I thought Jane might come to feel under pressure without a break occasionally. [...]

[...] Our thought has been that if Lorraine kept coming to sessions, sooner or later Seth would speak to her.)

[...] When your own thoughts have a form and reality, when they have validity even in other systems of reality of which you are unaware, then it is not difficult to understand why other systems of probabilities are also affected by your own thoughts and emotions — nor why the actions of the probable gods are not affected by what happens in other dimensions of existence.

(Just as the session was about to begin at 9:15, Jane said she thought we’d be interrupted somehow, or have visitors. [...]

(10:10.) I have tried to give you some idea of the far-reaching creative effects of your own thoughts. [...]

[...] [This is usually the case when I don’t take notes.] One such point had to do with Seth’s statement that whenever a person thinks strongly about another person, a portion of the “thinker” goes out to the “thought-subject,” etc.

[...] Jane said she thought this referred to an episode when she should have visited the dentist, Dr. Colucci, but did not. [...] I thought it a bad tooth. [...]

[...] I picked the card for tonight’s session because I thought it would be loaded with strong emotional charges of a personal nature, whereas the identification card used in the last test belonged to a person almost unknown to Jane and me.

[...] And so he felt extremely guilty because he did not welcome the thought of this other Negro into his house.

[...] The mayor is also to be present upon this occasion, and Ruburt thought subconsciously how pleased her friend, Edward Briscoe, would be in his simple way—in the old days—to be present, and how impressed he would be with the mayor.

(I was puzzled as to why Seth, or Jane, was so definite about the envelope containing a license or some sort of similar document, when Jane revealed that at last break she had thought the envelopes did contain a license. We thought it most interesting that the data based on Jane’s conscious thoughts proved to be that in error. [...]

[...] She left the studio when I asked her to, but I now thought she had been alerted to something unusual, and might be anticipating a test of some sort. [...]

[...] She also said she thought Seth might address the session to Dr. Instream, and that if he did she would prefer not to be distracted. [...]

Ruburt has been somewhat uneasy at the thought of a test. [...]

Some of your environment under such conditions and at certain stages does represent what many occultists call thought-forms. [...] The flying was a fact, you see, the plane was a thought-form.

[...] You projected to her system of reality and the environment was pseudophysical, the projection of her own thoughts made real in objective terms within the system.

Ruburt, on one occasion, created a window thought-form on the blank wall through which he actually flew, simply because he held fears and could not imagine going through a solid wall. [...]

[...] Some of the dream elements will be thought-forms.

As this occurs, negative habitual patterns of thought are also being healed. [...]

[...] As usual, I thought the session was over for the day. [...]

[...] I thought the session material might have bothered her, since from it, it seemed that the negative suggestions given by Georgia yesterday were still on her mind. [...]

[...] Jane said she has picked up from staff people at various times that they thought her skin was fragile and would break down easily—”that a good wind would blow me away, things like that....” [...]

[...] I explained that I’d become quite interested in the Fred Conyers thing because I’d been reading a couple of pages a day of one of the manuscripts he’d left us: The Rule Book of Love: A Seth Book. I thought the title intriguing. I also thought portions of the manuscript itself were intriguing, quite acute, mixed up with Fred’s obsessions and compulsions, his personal life and family, his far-out ideas, his attempts and frustrations as he tried to use the manuscript as a vehicle toward understanding himself as he attempted to uncover the secrets of his personality: He thought them locked away from his understanding by the very device he had chosen of speaking for Seth. [...]

[...] She was partially disoriented when I called her: “I thought I’d already had it,” she exclaimed. [...]

[...] Fred has it wrapped in brown paper and so much yellow string that at first I thought he’d used a rope like a clothesline as a binder. [...]

[...] I thought I did....” [...]

[...] We thought it excellent, of course. She now amazed me by saying that she now thought she understood that if she turned her focus away from her symptoms toward Prentice, say, or any other “outside” entity or situation, that she could improve physically by giving her body the freedom to do so. She sounded like things I’d said—and Seth too—many, many times; I’d thought she understood this. [...]

[...] A nervous physical reaction—including my stomach and back upsets—to yesterday’s personal events, I thought. [...]

(I kept trying to verbalize a thought that had come to me after supper tonight, but couldn’t get it out. [...]

[...] I was surprised, because I thought she understood this.”)

[...] My thoughts went back to the years when Ed and Rob produced the detective comic strip Mike Hammer together with Micky Spillane. Then I thought of Ed’s first letter of two years ago, breaking a twenty-year-old silence, mailed from Alaska where Ed was skiing. [...]

[...] Not likely, I thought, just after hearing from one old friend. Remembering the Ed affair of yesterday, I thought ironically this must be old friend week.

[...] I remembered and described three of them, thought there was a fourth, but couldn’t remember it. [...]

If our discussion actually happened Tuesday, before Peg’s visit (which was planned ahead of time), then we run into other possibilities than if our discussion was on Wednesday … (as we thought).

[...] If you understand that, then you will rearrange the organization of your own thoughts quite by yourself. You will begin to read your own thoughts as easily as you now read a book. It is far more important to read your own thoughts than it is to learn to read the thoughts of others, for when your own feelings are known to you, you easily see that all other feelings are also reflected in your own. [...]

Again, even your dreams and thoughts go out to help form new worlds.

[...] [The left foot has lost some of its original swelling, and now appears much better by contrast.] I told Jane I thought Seth was correct in the deleted session for June 24, 1981, in which he said the swelling effect helps cushion the new motion of some joints, so there is no grating. I also told her I thought another reason applied, however, one that led to the swelling to begin with. [...] “I thought you knew something like that was going on.” [...]

[...] When Jane read her material of this afternoon to me, I thought she likened the Sinful Self’s renewal to reincarnation, meaning that she thought this renewal might account for many of our overt ideas of reincarnation—that at least some of our ideas about reincarnation were based upon our intuitive knowledge of the return of portions of one’s self to that earlier state of innocence—a rebirth, in other words, that we might translate into the idea of physical incarnation. [...]

[...] Memory of that struggle would linger, I thought. [...]

[...] After being initially upset, I rather humorously thought that my idea wasn’t a bad one anyhow.

[...] Of course I often have such thoughts, and have often been completely baffled by her behavior in this regard; I said I thought the fact that we were busy—even more so than usual—should have nothing to do with holding off on such a need. [...]

[...] We had talked about this at times, of course, but now I thought I saw a new angle to things, and felt hope; where before I had thought there were no new angles....)

[...] I told Jane I thought the book would be very successful.

[...] So you thought of yourself as an artist, primarily, and judged your success, or lack of it, through that focus, and generally through that focus only.

[...] I thought this might be a convenient way of diverting her thoughts, rather than depending on purely mental efforts; at times she might feel particularly like concentrating upon inner images, etc.)

[...] He does need help in redirecting his thoughts in this fashion.

[...] This inner ego or inner self should not be thought of as superior to your ordinary mind. It should not be thought of, really, as something separate from your ordinary mind. [...]

[...] Many schools of thought (long pause) seem to have the curious ideas that the ego is inferior to other portions of the self, or “selfish,” and imagine it to be definitely of a lower quality than the inner self, or the soul.

[...] It was not, for example, precognitive, but it did inform you — using images and feelings — of the picture that was sometimes painted in different terms by your conscious thoughts. [...]

[...] I received the answer that I felt guilty over the conflict: when I wanted to do one, I thought I should be working on the other.”)

[...] Otherwise, regardless of what you say you thought, your mother would take my explanation as given.

(“I thought of the photo connection when I first bought the album, and told Jane what I had in mind. [...]

[...] But my reluctance was based, I thought, on my resentment at Prentice-Hall over their handling of art work; I really didn’t want to let the photos in question out of the house, for fear they’d be lost, etc. [...]
