“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The change of thoughts, feelings and beliefs into physical, objectively perceived phenomena is as natural as water changing into ice, for example, or a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. You not only form the structure of your civilizations and social institutions through the transference of beliefs, thoughts and feelings; but in this natural exchange you also help on quite intimate levels in the “psychic manufacture” of the physical environment itself, with all of its great sweeping variety, and yet seasonal stability.

When he finds himself thinking that he cannot walk properly, have him at least recognize the thought, as a thought and belief. [...]

Logic builds its monuments step by step, one thought before the other in a series where each thought or deduction is dependent upon the thought before. [...]

(The candle flame had maintained its increased height very steadily until close to break time, when I thought it began to fluctuate a bit. At break I thought it was mainly at its original lower height. [...]

(We were not sure that Seth would have any data on Peggy Gallagher during the session, since we thought it possible she had left Washington, DC by now.

[...] Jane gave no sign of any kind, and Seth had not even mentioned the candle; I had thought he might smile at the idea. [...]

[...] I too had been aware of the traffic noise, although I had pulled our kitchen window closed, I thought, before the session. [...]

(Before the unscheduled 230th session of last Sunday, Bill Gallagher had surprised Jane by telling her he thought she possessed healing ability. [...]

[...] I thought another vague reference, to the fact that I had just found the envelope object in my files on this day in February 1966.

[...] referred I thought to myself, caught in the act of stretching in the envelope photo.

[...] He may see the form of the man who originated the thought of the building.

[...] The form of a man, for example, may be a thought-form, or a fragment sent quite unconsciously by another individual whom it resembles. [...]

[...] So I accepted his statement and never even wondered that he might be a thought-form of mine.

[...] Within a certain range of dream reality, ideas and thoughts can be translated into pseudo-objects and transported. [...]

(I thought of two questions for Seth as I drove down to the hospital this noon:

[...] Trust the body, I thought to myself as I drove home: It knows what it’s doing, and how to do it, without any help from “us.” [...]

(As with Jane’s right elbow, after the foot moved I thought the skin coloration around the ankle and instep looked better, more normal, like skin. [...]

[...] They remembered that they formed physicial reality from the vitality of their own thoughts and fellings and images. [...] They knew how to send their thoughts and feelings out into a universe and to make the kind of universe that they wanted. [...]

[...] After all this time you still do not personally accept the fact that you are, in your terms at this moment, the sum of your own thoughts and emotions about yourselves and that whatever you want to fix you can fix, and that whatever you want to change you can change. [...]

On this hazy, lazy day
All thoughts drop to sudden end,
As if the sullen air
Into itself a puncture drew,
So trees and houses and all we know
Were gently drawn to follow through —
Then quickly, like a holocaust,
A container tipped at end at last —
All our thoughts slide away
Into a hole that time has made.

[...] The poetry itself provides a clear record of subjective thoughts and emotions. [...]

[...] In a world where humans slaughtered their own kind constantly, who in their right mind would give a moment’s thought to a cat’s consciousness? [...]

[...] It was almost mechanical, I thought, as if some second-hand god kept reusing the same leaves each year, over and over again, and we were too childish to see beneath the subterfuge.

[...] I thought it odd at the time; but since we usually go out on Saturday evening anyhow, the thought of dropping in at the projected party did not unduly disturb.

(Jane said my asking questions helped her a good deal in recalling details, whereas she thought she had no memory of any detail. [...]

[...] Your dreams, emotions, feelings, thoughts, are (underlined) transformed into physical matter purposefully by this inner self. [...]

[...] She said she thought the delivery had lasted perhaps ten minutes, instead of the 25 it had actually taken. [...]

(I thought Seth’s brief answer to my question merely reinforced my suspicion that my attitudes toward Prentice had unduly influenced Jane. [...] There must have been a reason, I thought, that I asked the question at this time.

[...] Otherwise it becomes another closed system of thought, bathed in absolutism, and doomed to the weightiness of dogma. [...]

[...] You may perceive them instead merely as undefined and undefinable veiled qualities of thought, ever-elusive and unformed, or as sacred physical portions of the earth, or as charged physical objects. [...]

[...] It had wound up confused over what to do, but I thought we could help it understand as the days passed. I thought she was achieving, or trying for, an integration of drives that might be very important. [...]

[...] I thought that probably the feelings should be allowed to come out violently, but we were inhibited by our surroundings, and probably fear, etc. [...]

(She said she thought Seth was trying an experiment, that it was better to do it this way. [...]

[...] I understand it was necessary for a time, but all thoughts of security beyond the daily necessities mean little to me. [...]

[...] It is of great importance now however that he write down his thoughts as begun each day. [...] These are normal feelings and thoughts that gained such charge only because they were collected about the unfaced dilemma; whether or not he could make it on his own, or could afford the opportunity to try.

[...] The summer that Ruburt was better, he began writing down his feelings and thoughts. [...]

[...] Unknowingly you were working on the two levels given in my last session, through suggestion, building self-confidence while Ruburt wrote out his gripes and conscious thoughts. [...]

Now you two are in the clear, with the basic dilemma out, being acted upon, worked through and faced; but the habits must also be combated by Ruburt writing out those thoughts and feelings daily. [...]

Just make sure that your thoughts of love are not impregnated with sperm of hate that you do not recognize. So accept your feelings and then send your thoughts of peace. [...]

(To Bette.) Now you do not have to fear your secrets or anyone else’s, and you do not have to fear that when you open yourselves up you are only going to find dark terrors, frightening thoughts and horrendous sins of the flesh. [...]

[...] And for all your fine thoughts, why are each of you, in your secret ways, so afraid of the implications of the word love or showing it here? [...]

[...] Send, then, thoughts of peace towards the person involved, that their problems may be solved. [...]

[...] These are only methods to educate you to the importance of thought for you can perform the same without the images. Even in the body it seems to you that you need physical hands to manipulate reels, to change what you see when a thought would suffice. [...]

[...] You will not progress individually or as a race until you realize that you form your own physical reality from your thoughts and feelings, and that you can manipulate matter through you mind because your mind creates it. [...]

[...] Your thoughts form their reality, cause their illness or their health, and in Alpha I you do this at a level of awareness that you can recognize. [...]

You still do not believe in the reality of thought, and so you use your images in this state of Alpha I consciousness, but in some stages beneath you will find you can dispense with it. [...]

[...] When Bill visited us early this evening I thought of using the clipping as object.

(Jane was still not feeling tiptop, but thought she would rather have the session than miss it. [...]

[...] Our thought is that the dream book material is also appearing in the same way. [...]

[...] We both thought it a panic reaction. [...]

[...] I was prepared to end the session at once if I thought intuitively that it was necessary. [...]

The relief he felt after deciding that he had safely tricked himself, he thought in the morning, was due to the fact that the future death was not his mother’s or his own, but one involving a relative at least somewhat distant. [...]

[...] She did not look well, I thought, yet appeared to be holding her own. [...]

[...] The thought of milk seemed most unpalatable to her while she felt this way, but upon taking some she began to feel better. [...]

With the development of abilities however the importance of conscious thought became greater than before. [...] The acceleration of mental creativity therefore meant that the creative energy of thoughts became ever greater in practical terms. [...]

[...] But at first glance I thought a good case could be made for not opening the doors to psychic developments to begin with, going by the contents of this session so far.

(It also seemed that both of us had made the decision to confine the psychic work to sessions only, which I thought would at this time automatically shut down a lot of possible developments. [...]

(I thought at least that Jane could use the psychic awareness as intuition, etc., in her work, as everyone else did, do her “straight writing,” and let it go at that. [...]

When in the earlier days of our marriage I used to tell her that she had her “symptoms” regardless of what I thought or wanted, she would deny it. Yet I thought she did, and so I was driven to grope for larger understandings. [...] “Interactions with others do occur, of course,” Seth told us long ago, “yet there are none that you do not accept or draw to you by your thoughts, attitudes, or emotions.” [...]

The morning after showing her this material, I asked Jane what she thought about such a book. “I don’t like to talk about it,” she said, “but I’ve been potting around with the idea—getting some thoughts about something like that. [...]

[...] And, I thought, why not? [...]

Apropos of the material I’ve been covering in these pages, I want to close this essay with quotations from two sessions that I’ve always thought are among the best Seth has given. [...]

I have also discussed the electrical components that make up each thought. These thoughts, then, are automatically translated into physical matter by certain areas of the subconscious. [...]

[...] She remarked that the feeling was similar to the two Father Trainor episodes, of February 11,1965 and May 30,1965; I too had had the thought that there was a similarity here, and thought I detected a hint of a brogue in Jane’s delivery at times. [...]

[...] However, you are exactly what you think you are, and every thought is mirrored in the physical matter of the human organism. [...]

[...] She thought this was because of the presence of witnesses. [...]

[...] Some schools of thought, then, have it that only the genetically superior should be allowed to reproduce, and there are scientists who believe that all defects can be eradicated through judicious genetic planning.

[...] All such concepts appear in one form or another at most official levels of thought and education. [...]
