“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I thought it important that she hear the notes, but had no choice except to wait.

[...] She said she thought it was connected to Joe somehow.

[...] The first thought that crossed my mind was that I didn’t have a suit to wear — just my corduroys. [...]

[...] After some thought she arrived at telephone and telegraph; guessing, she thought A might stand for Atlantic. [...]

[...] It developed that he had thought we could shovel our own way out. [...]

(The material surprised us, and we had no thought of trying to relay it to anybody. We have no idea as to whether the tax matters referred to are true, and/or will develop. [...]

[...] I thought someone studious referred to myself, but again there was not sufficient elaboration.

[...] I immediately thought it might be an inner sense telling me that Seth was around.

(A few minutes later I thought of checking finger circumferences again, as I had with Bill Macdonnel before the 47th session; see page 41. [...]

[...] The fact that I had taken a journey was very surprising to me; I had not thought of my experience in that way at all.)

[...] I thought that if she appeared to be slipping into a deeper trance state it might be wise to interrupt the session. [...]

[...] People’s thoughts and emotions always give clear clues whenever illness is involved, yet most people ignore such information. They censor their own thoughts. [...]

The officials of the Roman Catholic Church altered many records — cleansing them, in their terms, of anything that might suggest pagan practices, or nature worship as they thought of it. [...]

[...] You think of rain or earthquakes as natural events, for example, while you do not consider thoughts or emotions as natural events in the same terms. [...]

[...] I thought the material excellent, however, with plenty of “bite” to it. [...]

[...] There were misses of course, and statements that hinted at, or came close to, events and thoughts involving our friends. [...]

[...] He thought the village there, if there had been any, would have belonged to the Carib Indians.

(After a moment Bill said he thought his beliefs regarding religion were more or less traditional.)

(Bill asked Seth what he thought of the direction in which the writings of Father Teilhard de Chardin led, and Seth enthusiastically agreed these writings are valid. [...]

[...] You each are aware of the difference of your thoughts. And when your thoughts meet the world, you change the world. [...] Your thoughts form worlds. [...]

[...] So your thoughts are not wasted, your dreams are not wasted, and neither are the thoughts and dreams of others who have psychological realities perhaps completely different than your own. [...]

[...] To me it just seems like a waste to become pregnant when all along, whenever you just thought of becoming pregnant, to have an abortion. [...]

[...] We cleared our minds of objective thoughts and wrote down whatever came into our heads, trying to predict the day’s events. [...]

[...] Dr. Karlis Osis of the American Psychic Society would have experience with cases like ours, we thought. [...]

[...] So I sulked: If he didn’t express interest in the material, which I thought was terrific, then he could just go find someone else to go looking through his walls!

[...] I thought of “testing” Seth in a highly rigid, uncompromising manner. [...]

[...] At the same time, Jane said that she thought she felt Seth stirring about, since all of us had talked about him constantly for some time now. [...]

[...] Both Jim and Bill thought the other one, of the girl and dog, quite gruesome. [...]

[...] She said that something had made Seth angry this evening; she thought it had to do with our attitude and comments after we had received the letter from the A.S.P.R.

(“I never thought of it.”)

[...] We thought that if this appeared to be happening we’d stop using the Silvadene. [...]

I thought I would write this out instead of calling, so that you’d have the record to study at your leisure. [...]

[...] Your thoughts then do change the world, whether you act upon your thoughts or not, they have their effect.

[...] Through all of man’s religions and philosophies that line of thought has been most prominent; those who had the most energy suffered from it the most, of course. [...]

[...] At first I’d thought this a new insight on Seth’s part, but we decided that it wasn’t, that he’d covered this ground in other material from a variety of viewpoints. [...]

[...] Within a certain portion of dream reality, ideas or thoughts can be translated into pseudoobjects, and transported. [...]

[...] Thoughts as a rule would not be perceived here, for the symbols that form them would not be understood.

The thoughts would not be perceived if they were present, you see. [...]

[...] It is now thought, I believe, that time and space are basically one, but they are both a part of something else. [...]

(At 9:00 she told me she thought Seth would discuss my questions #5 and 6, about black-and-white thinking, and touch upon “that article” about micro metal-bending, or psychokinetic metal bending. [...]

[...] The main point also is to be relieved of comparison with a super image, with thoughts of what he should be, and an acknowledgement of his own (underlined) feelings about any event or situation. [...]

[...] The use of that misdirection would certainly have it funny connotations, too, I thought.

[...] I wrote later in “Unknown” that I thought Appendix 4 contained some of the best material in that work, and I still think so.)

(Tam Mossman and his fiancée Eve had been our guests over the past weekend, May 2—4; he had heartily approved the work Jane has completed on the Seth book and we thought that this belief might have something to do with Jane’s very relaxed state. [...]

(Jane said the sensations were “like a loss of tension,” and I thought it was a general release from her symptoms, at least temporarily, plus a dissociated state. [...]

[...] I thought there were many more valuable kinds of experiences to be had in many kinds of healthier, more creative endeavors, instead of letting the symptoms interfere with Jane’s attempts to perform such creative endeavors.

[...] Ruburt is aware of certain thoughts that helped cause the episode, and he will tell you.

[...] You were not given a certain amount of “life force” at birth that you use up as you go along, contrary to many schools of thought.

Your own thoughts and beliefs, having the same kind of inner reality, also transform the interior environments of others. [...]

(Very forcefully:) Emotions, instead of propelling a physical rocket, for example, send thoughts from this interior reality through the barrier between nonphysical and physical into the “objective” world — no small feat, and one that is constantly repeated.

(Seth had something to say about this last thought not long ago. [...]

[...] Jane had forgotten it, she said, but now thought that upon reading the same book a few months ago, she had also developed neck trouble, although not to as severe a degree. [...]

[...] I thought her last two sentences garbled.)

[...] Willy bothered her immediately, she said; yet at the same time she was more dissociated than she had thought possible under the circumstances.

[...] Her first thought was one of acquiescence. Her second thought was one of panic, in that she wouldn’t know the passage of time as usual, etc.

[...] One of them was so long I thought she had fallen asleep. [...]

[...] She remembered the pauses, but had thought they were “nothing.”

[...] For instance, she worried about not knowing the time, yet once the session began she thought nothing of it. [...]

[...] Your thoughts and feelings are quite as real as your cells. [...]

[...] Other portions of his teachings did not follow the main line of Christian thought, and were buried.

(She said the “buried” material about Christ and mainline Christian thought had to do with occult [meaning hidden] teachings and the Essenes, who were one of the four major Jewish sects known to exist in the Holy Land early in the first century, A.D. [see chapters 21 and 22 in Seth Speaks.]

Jane added that she might have read speculative matter involving Christ, the occult, and the Essenes; and probably, we thought many “secret teachings” have been attributed to Christ.

(Which pointed up our dilemma, I thought at the time. [...] Actually, we’d always thought that such performances were somehow suspect. [...]

[...] When I used the word “conscious” (or “consciousness”), I meant it as I thought you understood it. I thought that you meant: conscious of being conscious, or placing yourself on the one hand outside of a portion of your own consciousness — viewing it (intently) and then saying, “I am conscious of my consciousness.”

[...] I thought it interesting that as I was completing work for Jane’s first book on aspect psychology, she was starting Psychic Politics, the second one in the series. [...]

[...] Most likely my own interest in James’s work exerted some kind of influence upon Jane’s newly developing abilities, I thought; but still, that didn’t answer my questions.

[...] Jane then decided to hold a session, and said she thought it would be brief.

[...] I thought that Dr. Instream’s reception would be perfectly fine, and that in this tape Seth, and Jane, had made their points just as they wanted to.

(This evening after supper, while busy with other material, Jane received the thought that it was time to begin work on Book One of The Seth Material, a project we had discussed sometime before vacation. She thought the title should be The Physical Universe as Idea Construction. She came to the studio to tell me this, and that she also received the thought, evidently from Seth, that Donald Wollheim, her editor at Ace Books, could or would write the introduction for Book One.

(Jane said she thought she might be able to have a session. [...]

[...] Ruburt, in fear of being thought of as an hysterical woman, does hold back at times, as is somewhat natural, and within limits necessary.

I have not, apparently, made as much headway with you as I thought. [...]
