“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] We all had a most enjoyable visit—I thought. [...]

[...] [I suggested she have this session, although the thought crossed her mind also.]

[...] The proof arrived in the mail while Dick and Ida were here; we looked at it without much reaction, but still thought about it on other levels a good deal. [...]

[...] They did what they thought they were supposed to do, but do not feel nearly the sense of accomplishment or pleasure with their lives that they once expected. [...]

[...] When I wish I could somehow make you understand that reality springs from your thoughts, and not the other way around, and that any given thought is far more real in basic terms than the table upon which Ruburt rests his foot (stamping upon the table with that foot). [...]

[...] I admitted that the thought had occurred to me—that indeed I’d been thinking about it a lot since I’d had my physical hassles starting early last month.

(Today we received from Larry Dowler of the Yale archives a letter giving us his latest thoughts, as well as a form to sign. [...]

[...] The following thoughts came to me while I was painting this morning. [...]

A thought almost lost....

[...] He did not start with the rudiments of culture, as is thought. He did not learn (pause) through trial and error to think clear thoughts. He thought quite clearly from the beginning. He did learn through trial and error various ways of best translating those thoughts into physical action. [...]

Ruburt knew that Helper could be sent out to others, to their advantage, and in that regard the form stood for the great power of natural, positive desire and thought patterns. [...]

[...] The mind’s powers are far greater than those generally assigned to rational thought alone, as per our last (private) sessions. [...]

[...] The knower is of course always present, but the part of your culture that is built upon the notion that no such inner knowledge exists, and those foolish ideas of rational thought as the only provider of answers, therefore often limit your own use of inner abilities.

[...] While I did she had some thoughts of her own — that a person can choose illness, for example, in order to explore that reality, and to exert certain effects upon others around the ill person: thoughts I have had many times — my old idea of consciousness getting to know itself in as many ways as possible.

[...] They are more divorced from ordinary medical thought, and would indeed be considered sheer quackery in the majority of medical circles.

(Jane added that when she listens to me read a session to her, she’ll get glimpses from Seth sometimes of what he’s going to say next time: “The thoughts are mine, but also a mixture, they have a tinge of Seth’s ideas.” [...]

So if you did not give it as freely as you thought you should to Ruburt, then you would also keep it to the same degree (underlined) out of your work. [...] You would be led to question why you were not pleased with your work as you thought you should be, and hence back to the original problem.

Ruburt spread his physical problem around more, bodywise; in such a way, he thought he could endure longer, you see, rather than attacking a critical organ.

[...] You are so distrustful of the innate vitality of life and of consciousness and of All That Is that you feel that your aggressive thoughts can take it off balance and, magnified a million times, destroy it. Now on an individual basis, each of you is quite able to accept from the other, though I am certain that it would never happen in this class, a stray negative thought, or an aggressive thought, or even at times a stray ray of hatred. [...]

[...] This universe is not maintained by conscious thought and if all of you together had to consciously decide ahead of time why the universe should exist, it would not exist, for you would not have made up your mind yet. [...]

[...] What inspiration could hang around in such thought? [...]

[...] If you listen to your own conscious thought, you will know exactly where you stand. [...]

(At our usual supper hour of 5 PM, I thought I noticed Jane quieter than usual. [...] At first I thought she was tired and simply didn’t want a session, after the intense weekend we had just spent with Tam Mossman, from Prentice-Hall. [...]

[...] I thought of shaking her out of trance, but didn’t know whether to or not. [...] Each time I thought she might be coming out of it while quiet, Jane would then go back into the experience.

(Jane thought she had been thinking about a Tam or a Cam, which of course apply to Tam Mossman or Bill Macdonnel. [...] Jane thought she was the girl, rather than an observer. [...]

[...] She thought Seth’s entity might be looking us over. [...]

[...] Jane thought I’d forgotten to tell her about those elements, although I thought I had. [...]

[...] When I got up at 6:15, with the dream still on my mind, I thought at first that it might have reincarnational overtones, yet I didn’t really think so. [...]

[...] I also thought it might involve John, who is around 40 and unmarried. [...]

About your dream: (Pause.) You were telepathically picking up some of the thoughts of Joe Bumbalo as he suspiciously wondered about John, because John’s talents and abilities struck him as being too feminine. [...]

(During lunch I’d asked Jane if she thought Seth might want to comment on the sinful self, and its material. I thought some data on these items might show how her psyche was integrating our new information and efforts, including the healing impetus. I thought the sinful self had to be cooperating in our endeavors, and I wondered whether there might be some scrap of new information it possessed that could help us. [...]

[...] She said Seth may have stopped just because she thought she was going to have a bladder spasm as she did yesterday at break time. [...]

[...] sorting it by date, when Jane said, “Will you write something down for me?” She actually thought it might be from Seth—she could hear his voice reciting it, I believe she said. [...]

The golden bees of our thoughts

[...] “The funny thing is,” Jane said, “I thought that that was coming from Seth—that is, he was speaking the words, though he usually doesn’t do things like that.... [...]

(The strange thing is, I’d had very similar thoughts this morning when typing Session 890 for Dreams, I told Jane now. [...]

[...] But I thought of him, a stranger, in the newspaper office of a strange town.... [...]

[...] And instead of rousing sympathy in me his downcast mood had the opposite effect; I don’t care if you came from Timbuktu by refugee ship, I thought. [...]

Most of the material disappeared instantly, like some dreams, but I did remember that Seth told me to stress pleasure over responsibility and that thought was in my mind as I fell to sleep Friday PM.

I thought of the many other people who must do the same thing if not with body sensations perhaps with events of other kinds. [...]

[...] Then he thought only one lens was saved. This shows that he was worried for his vision, and thought that only the one right eye would operate properly. [...]

[...] His thoughts were on what he wanted to do, though he very definitely had to consider the means, the getting about.

[...] Ruburt was afraid his need for the world’s acceptance might lead him out into it again, where he would necessarily meet scorn, for he thought in absolutes.

[...] Thoughts of work, however, do not work. [...]

(Pause.) It was a time when your inner thoughts veered off at a tangent from their familiar ways. I believe you had an image of the inside portion of a human body, or a thought having to do with inner organs. [...]

[...] I don’t recall any strong inner image of the interior of a body, but at the same time I know I have thought of this recently.)

[...] In the same way that thoughts can be sent through space, so individual consciousness can be sent through systems, using various methods. [...]

Negative thoughts running rampant do cause infections. [...]

The stool at the sink reminded Ruburt that he could indeed use the stool in other areas of the kitchen, so he thought of cooking, and to that extent his thoughts became more naturally attuned. [...]

[...] Rather to my surprise she suggested having a session tonight, so we thought we’d see how things went.)

[...] The more you enjoy life, and your daily moments, the less difficulty you will be in in any area, for your thoughts become naturally pleasant, and naturally attract good to you from Framework 2.

[...] James had been thought of, but Ruburt certainly had no idea he would, or could, possibly write a book on painting.

[...] Have him tell you his fantasy today of the motel, and his thoughts about it. [...] Creative thought is the mode of thought that most clearly approximates Framework 2’s mode of organization, and the nature of the universe. [...]

Before that meeting, while consciously doing what they thought should be done—hiring detectives, searching down clues—they each followed inner directions without knowing it, because you are not taught to think of such things.

Certainly, when finally the two moved to the same street, neither thought of looking there, consciously. [...]

Your organized patterns of thought cause you to look in all the wrong places, usually for the wrong reasons.

(This material was very similar to thoughts I’d had while painting this morning. [...] Then I thought that in the perfectly expanding, uniform hydrogen cloud, nothing would be needed, in those terms [the author’s]—not even life itself. [...]

[...] I for one was disillusioned, no doubt about it, I thought as Seth spoke. [...] When she asked me what I thought about the session I replied that “we had no choice” but to try to implement it. [...]

[...] At least, I thought, while talking she showed more animation than she had in some time. [...]

[...] Yet the feeling is the result of the natural person’s knowledge of the symbolic nature both of objects and thoughts, and of the rhythmic patterns that both follow, so that, again, on such occasions such activities do trigger new unconscious activity and set up new patterns of organization. [...]

Man’s thoughts no longer seemed to have any effect upon nature because in his mind he saw himself apart from it. [...] He became blind to the connection between his thoughts and his physical environment and experience.

Before that time man did believe that he could affect matter and the environment through his thoughts. [...]

[...] Often he had to kill life in order, he thought, to discover its reality.

[...] You have lost a sense of responsibility for your conscious thought because you have been taught that it is not what forms your life. [...]

[...] It is almost as if your thoughts punched the keys of some massive computer, for your thoughts do indeed have a force. [...]

[...] “I thought that stuff on time was fantastic. [...]

[...] I’ve often thought of how weak our current theories are to explain what we see around us, or in the night sky.

[...] I’d thought her driving herself until she was hoarse was a late — or last — confrontation with a world that she might soon be leaving …)

[...] Here Theodore said that he thought [he] saw a filmy whitish something move out from me in the same direction. In here also I concentrated on a ectoplastic arm without telling anyone and Theodore again reported without any suggestion from me that he thought he noticed a change in the same arm, and once thought it was about to rise. [...]

[...] He thought that perhaps my hand had gone to sleep—it hadn’t—don’t know how much time this took, perhaps ten minutes all in all, with hand manifestation taking up... [...]

[...] Some thought they sensed someone. [...]
