“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I hadn’t even thought that this might be possible. [...]

[...] I was surprised when she suggested the session, since for some reason I’d thought she wasn’t going to have one. [...]

[...] Sometimes I thought that if Rob said it was a terrific day just one more time, I’d scream.

[...] In the beginning these suggestive events just stretched our imaginations and thoughts, but later they became numerous and persistent so that we had to take them into consideration as we made normal decisions.

[...] The matter of a bad tooth, or teeth, is not to be overlooked, but it should not be an occasion to put the self down, the cause of self-accusing thoughts, or bring about unfortunate feelings of inferiority.

[...] Pain often acts as a teacher, saying “This direction is not for you” as it reflects painful thoughts. [...]

[...] Thoughts have their own energy. Your thoughts and everyone else’s. Your own greater awareness now, with Ruburt, to him represents the first real break in your armor. [...]

(While we were in Rochester I mentioned a question to Jane that I thought Seth ought to consider. [...]

[...] After the session I told Jane I thought Seth didn’t finish dealing with the question I’d outlined before the session. [...]

[...] And determined that he would try to circumvent it—hence your sketches in Dialogues; for despite your avid and determined dislike of the marketplace and its imperfections, of which he is more aware than you think, he thought that he would still see to it that your talent was placed to some extent at least before the world —rail as you would against the stupidities and poor craftsmanship. [...]

Now: since out adventure first began, you have each had to learn much, and alter patterns of thought and belief, in your terms deeply ingrained. [...]

[...] At first I thought it quite a useless gift, even if beautiful. [...] “I’d have never thought of buying something like that for a gift,” I told Jane. [...]

[...] There is swelling on her right shoulder, and I also thought her cheeks looked swollen. [...]

[...] I thought it was going to rain, which meant that Frank wouldn’t be doing the grass again. [...]

[...] The thoughts that you think, for example, in your actor’s roles, are still completely unique and lead to new creativity. [...]

[...] Your real environment is composed of your thoughts and emotions, for from these you form not only this reality but each reality in which you take part. [...]

[...] Clear from your mind all thoughts and worries. [...]

[...] “I thought there was something involving you toward the end that I didn’t get,” Jane said. [...] She was also genuinely surprised at the time, it being much later than she thought it was: “I can’t get over it.”)

[...] I’ve thought of trying to find another place to paint, especially for the larger works I plan to do, but not of leaving her. [...]

This primary energy gestalt may be thought of as straddling all realities, or existing in the infinite realities of which we have spoken. [...]

This of course being the Holy Ghost, or rather that which he thought of in such terms. [...]

It may be thought of in an analogy, as a shadow, in that you create it or project it, but without conscious knowledge. [...]

[...] My question was not meant to pry into a personal life, merely to obtain what I thought would be interesting information about a certain dream related to me by Dr. Colucci’s nurse, voluntarily.)

(“I thought you didn’t want to discuss it.”)

[...] At first I had thought he referred to Dr. Colucci’s dental nurse. [...]

[...] Some of the information applied at first glance; other parts of it, I thought, were impressions attached to the test objects themselves, as in the 185th session.

[...] I knew you had a test prepared however, and thought that we should go ahead.

[...] Seth said no more about the results of the test, and in view of Jane’s state I thought it best not to query him about it tonight.

(As we were eating lunch today Jane said she thought Seth would discuss the question of good and evil, re our conversation on those subjects the other day. [...]

(I was so surprised by this statement that I stared at Jane—whereupon, as Seth she thought I hadn’t heard it properly and repeated it.)

[...] Again, she thought the length of the session, or the time involved, had little to do with the quality of the material. [...]

(“A connection with a photograph”, referred we thought to the fact that my brother took color pictures of the wedding. [...]

[...] We thought this a too-vague reference to my brother and his wife, and their daughter, and the groom.

[...] We thought this of course a reference to Linda’s marriage. [...]

(“A disturbance that was not unexpected”, we thought a reference to the disapproval with which Linda’s maternal grandmother greeted the news of the marriage. [...]

[...] She took this lack of imagery to mean that her own feelings and ideas were bypassed; she felt free of concern about the accuracy of the material, and thought it might be better for this.

[...] We thought “The number 5” good, since the appointment was for May 5.

[...] We thought it possible that “a man and woman, not yourselves. [...]

(We thought this connection with “a trip by train” might be the distant connection referred to by Seth, when we remembered that while Marie Colucci’s mother had been visiting in Elmira, the mother’s husband died of a heart attack at home in New Jersey, while bowling. [...]

the rocky thoughts of my mind,

[...] But the thought came to me that the not-eating might be the body’s therapeutic fasting situation — it’s own natural version of it.”

(The first portion of these notes—as indicated—was written after supper on Monday night, preparatory to what I thought would be the regularly scheduled session for the evening. [...]

[...] Not that I’d thought I was....

[...] You yearned to give it some standards of excellence – standards, however, that could be applied to the entire area of living, to personal relationships, to politics, to social events, to philosophical thought.

[...] That part of you existed quite intimately in your thoughts, while at the same time you found it difficult to communicate with the family [members] generally, and you were struck by the great gap of communication that seemingly existed between the most related people.

[...] It did not even, except superficially, represent a dangerous lapse or relapse on your part, into those truly dangerous and quite disastrous negative battles of thoughts, which eventually in any individual can and often do lead the integrated self into annihilation.

Note: The attitude was partially justified, but the portion that was not justified was a symptom of a new appearance of negative thought on your part. [...]

[...] Since we had missed three sessions, I thought we could continue a little longer.

(Since the visitors began to appear on the first day I was in bed and within a matter of hours, Jane and I soon thought it more than coincidence. [...]

[...] Just now, reading a letter from the editor of an occult journal I found myself mentally responding in James vein, saying: I am somewhat judicious, and therefore waited before responding”—and suddenly I saw—that I WAS SOMEWHAT JUDICIOUS—I AM SOMEWHAT JUDICIOUS and in my mind I’ve thought that I was if anything overly spontaneous and therefore to be watched lest my spontaneity contradict my “reason” as if on my own I had no “judiciousness”—and not seeing in fact that the symptoms were the result of —over-judiciousness.
