“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I thought I had a good idea there, and Jane agreed. [...]

[...] It might help if now and then he imagines his walking taking place as easily and naturally as his thoughts come and go, and in ways as mysterious as the way his vision operates, when it is suddenly clearer, and he reads so much more quickly — for the quick reading will soon be the norm.

[...] I made the mistake of asking how her husband was, since I’d thought about asking yesterday, but hadn’t. Shawn launched into a long account of her husband’s latest troubles. [...]

[...] I told Jane I thought she sounded like she was reliving a reversion to her childhood. [...]

[...] I thought of Jane confining her replies to correspondents via postcard only, or at least only rarely sending out the letters with a longer reply to someone truly in need. [...]

[...] I did mention one good point, I thought: If she must be involved with ideas of responsibility, then let her think that she has already fulfilled her responsibility to help others, through the work/books she’s already done. [...]

(I could add that yesterday and today especially the mail had embodied the extremes of response Jane often gets to her work—from the incoherent to the very complimentary, from people literally begging for relief from possession, say, to inquisitive, thoughtful letters from psychologists and other professional people. [...]

(It might help if Jane did a little writing on those topics, I thought.

[...] You are a part of these encircling realities and your dreams and thoughts and wishes affect those realities even though you are not consciously aware of this. [...] One thought sends out ripples that change and alter. [...] There is no feeling that you have, there is no word that you utter, there is no thought hidden in the deepest environment of your brain that does not have a reality different than the one you know. [...]

[...] Now indeed, not only does each thought have an electrical reality of its own and endures unchanged, but what you consider to be yourself has an electrical reality and is coded in terms that you cannot presently understand. [...]

[...] There are distortions in his thought as there are distortions in all of your thoughts. [...]

[...] Whatever thoughts come, follow them. [...]

[...] And learn to accelerate your own thoughts. [...]

A thought, in those terms now, is as physical as a foot—and a foot is as mystical as a thought. [...]

(Before the session Jane said she thought Seth might discuss some of the ideas in a book by Fred Hoyle, the English astronomer that she’s reading, on the ten different universes of man. [...]

[...] “I got such good information through,” Jane said, “that I thought the session lasted much longer—I felt way out, as though I was transcending time, like I was tuning in to a nugget of information that seemed endless. [...]

[...] I thought I remembered a statement he’d made long ago, but now I couldn’t locate it within the body of his material. [...]

(First I thought of Seth’s assertion in the 92nd session for September 28, 1964, that “trees have their dreams”; [in Volume 1, see the quotations in Note 1 for Session 698]. [...]

[...] I thought another group of them tried to get at the origin of the envelope object—namely my place of employment—hence the reason I chose the question I asked. I also thought the hole and grave data referred to an earlier envelope experiment dealing with my place of employment.

[...] It can be thought of almost as a psychological protrusion, though this is not precisely the word to explain it.

[...] The words that you hear are my words and not Ruburt’s. However, they are representations of my thought, as they are sifted through various layers, first of all of our composite psychological framework, and then through layers of Ruburt’s own personality.

[...] Seth had been talking about association regarding envelope data in the earlier part of the session, and I thought this data a good example of it. [...]

[...] The body adjusts its rhythms in a quite healthy manner to your activities, and without polarized habits of thought, periods of deep creativity will automatically be followed by periods of walking, natural exercise of one kind or another, in which subjective thought and body motion are synchronized.

[...] There is obviously, however, no contradiction between habits of subjective thought and creativity and the physical enjoyment of the body and its abilities.

[...] They forget the nature of “youthful thoughts.” [...]

[...] All of this, you see, must be considered in the light of our last session, for it involves varying degrees of self-disapproval and polarities of thought, so that the contradictions occurred in your experience—though there were more, of course, in basic terms.

[...] But the object is the thought, materialized. This physical representation of idea permits us to learn the difference between the ‘I’ who thinks and the thought. [...]

[...] By now I was really having second thoughts. [...] On the other hand, I thought, what did I have to lose? [...]

[...] I thought my life and work were planned, my course set. [...]

[...] I thought it was a riot, two adults watching the pointer go scurrying across the board, and we didn’t take it too seriously. [...]

This means, of course, that you do not fall victim to a disease, or catch a virus, but that for one reason or another your own feelings, thoughts, and beliefs lead you to seek bouts of illness. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) You are not one thing and illness another, for your thoughts and emotions are the triggers that lead to bouts of poor health. [...]

[...] Jane said she thought that right away Seth was starting to answer my question of yesterday — not the portion about radiation and why that phenomenon is too strong for us to bear, but the part about the consciousness embodied in cancer, say, which is also too much for us much of the time. [...]

[...] I thought Seth’s data on the tooth mechanisms very acute indeed. [...] Seth was quite chiding in a gently amused way tonight when mentioning the hypnosis affair, his voice quiet, and, I thought, rather tired. [...]

(10:54.) Now Ruburt, because of his beliefs, “artificially” disciplined his muscles so that he would be forced to concentrate upon what it seemed you and he both thought was most important in life—your work.

[...] Metaphysically, they can be thought of as the point at which All That Is acts to form [your] world—the immediate contact of a never-ending creative inspiration, coming into mental focus, the metamorphosis of certainly divine origin that brings the physical world into existence from the greater reality of divine fact. Scientifically, again, the units can be thought of as building blocks of matter. [...]

“Nothing in the universe is ever lost, or mislaid, or wasted, so the energy of your own thoughts, while they are still your own thoughts, helps to form the natural attributes of physical realities that you do not perceive. [...]

One mind alone could not come into being from chance alone; one thought could not leap from an infinite number of nerve ends, if matter itself was not initially alive with consciousness, packed with the intent to be. [...]

[...] However, as I wrote in Note 1 for Session 709, in Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality, “supposed faster-than-light particles are thought to be possible within the context of Einstein’s special theory of relativity.”

In those days neither did a sane, righteous man give thought to sharing his wealth, or even consider the plight of the poorer classes. [...]

Women were scarcely thought of as human creatures, but in very select circles. [...]

[...] There are different kinds of creativity, then, to learn, and a specialization in energy is focus and feelings that emerge; elemental energy becoming conscious of itself, and aware of issues that did not exist for it earlier; millions of molecules momentarily united with the living consciousness (pause), filled with primal energy, now learning love, and forming highly sensitive psychic patterns, electrical charges that now form emotions instead of clouds; the innocent chaos of undifferentiated personality that exists behind the highly specified and truly sophisticated mechanism of one thought. [...]

[...] Jane paused for a few moments, then resumed, after I had thought she was out of trance, and had called her name. [...]

As I mentioned earlier, your thoughts have a very definite vital reality. Beliefs are thoughts reinforced by imagination and emotion concerning the nature of your reality.

Now thoughts in general possess an electromagnetic reality, but whether you know it or not, they also have an inner sound value.

[...] Now the same is true about what I will call inner sound, the sound of your thoughts within your own head. [...]

[...] It is fashionable now to think about noise pollution, yet the same kind of circumstances occur with inner sound, particularly when your inner thoughts are self-contradictory, scrambled and random.

[...] They are in fact fascinated by the effects that their thoughts, feelings, and purposes have upon daily events. [...] If their thoughts can cause them to become ill, then there is no real reason for them to fear illness, for it is their own creation. [...]

[...] The child knew that in one way or another its most intimate thoughts, dreams, and gestures were as connected with the natural world as blades of grass are to a field. [...] In fact, children let little escape them, so that, again, they experiment constantly in an effort to discover not only the effect of their thoughts and intents and wishes upon others, but the degree to which others influence their own behavior. [...]

1. At first Jane and I thought Seth was in error when he said “chariot” instead of “coach” or “carriage.” [...]

[...] He thought you were angry enough to begin with. [...]

[...] If you or Nebene ever thought that objective details were important then see how important Ruburt thinks subjective ones area. [...]

The whole thing boils down to the fact that he thought and felt you would not help him, but demand that he use his own abilities and help himself independently of you. [...]

(“I thought he didn’t want me to. [...]

[...] I also felt angry at the role she’s chosen, even while I thought I understood it, basically. [...]

(I’ve also thought for some time that there might be clues to Jane’s seeming dilemmas in reincarnation — which Seth hasn’t gone into at all. [...]

[...] I wanted to know what her sinful self thought about what it was doing to her body, if it cared, if it even understood that it’s protective actions threatened its own existence. [...]

[...] She’d cried several times as we talked — mourning most of all, I thought, that she would probably never get home again, see the house and grounds, and so on. [...]

[...] Maybe, I thought, we needed time to recover from the emotions of the last few days especially. [...]

[...] Jane said she felt a little better today generally, and I thought she acted it. [...]

[...] I thought it was great that she was expressing deeply-felt emotion, just as I was surprised that she’d spontaneously — seemingly — chosen the subject matter for the session … This had to be good, I said.

[...] This was certainly a sign of that, I said, and something I hadn’t even thought of. [...]

Rob thought the concentration of writing a statement of how I felt would help. [...] Thoughts or messages poured to mind, and I wrote them down in this weird (unedited) script:

[...] You both understand now that your plane is composed of solidified thought. [...]

By now, we were both convinced that the human mind or consciousness had abilities and methods of perception far beyond those we had thought possible. [...]

[...] By now I was rather frightened, yet I thought that I could snap out of it if I really exerted all of my will power — or knew how.

You harbored thoughts of immobility. [...]

[...] (Jane gestured widely, with a fist.) You began to hold back, become more cautious, and then slowly began to entertain thoughts of the possibility of failure. [...]

[...] The problem is not in the exterior circumstances but in your own mental attitude toward them, and in the habitual patterns of thought that you have subjectively accepted.

[...] You allowed negative patterns of thought to take an upper hand, and fears to predominate. [...]
