“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The experience of emotions and thoughts and other psychological realities that do not take up space physically within your universe, all represent portions of, small portions of, what I will for now term initial experience. Psychological reality, emotional reality, and the reality of thought also become valid to human personality through their existence as various intensities. [...]

[...] But the dream universe and the dream experience, like thoughts and emotions, are independent of you in existence. [...]

[...] At his worse moments, he thought that he could not love a cripple, since he did not love his mother, so how could you.

This evening’s present symptoms are the result of the fact that Friday is already thought of as a school day. [...]

His mother often demanded the bedpan just before meals, and he thought this was to annoy him. [...]

[...] I want him to continue helping with “Unknown”—but also to follow the suggestions I gave a while ago, and devote some time each day to free, creative, playful thought. [...]

[...] Forget thoughts like “It has taken me so long to learn.” [...]

[...] I thought my reaction was a normal one, yet was angry at myself for reacting so strongly. [...] I blamed myself for not knowing enough to suspend any conscious judgment; I felt I had enough background knowledge to go along with this vision, to see what developed, yet I had reacted in what I thought a foolish way.

[...] I thought of getting up to make a drawing of what I had seen, but decided I would not forget. [...]

(In addition, Seth has given enough information upon these visions so that I thought I had probably distorted quite valid and alien data into a form I could understand.

[...] Seth had the next thought or concept waiting, Jane said, and all she had to do was give voice to it.

[...] I thought the other voice belonged to an older man with glasses and white hair, though I did not see this person. [...]

[...] She said she had the idea of Cisco for a place name in the state, but thought she had chosen this because it has a western sound. [...]

[...] If this referred to psychic abilities I thought we could write them. [...]

[...] Sometimes when Ruburt was mentioned, I thought it was Jane saying so, rather than Seth. [...]

[...] In terms of your psyche, each of your own thoughts and actions exist not only in the manner with which you are familiar with them, but also in many other forms that you do not perceive, colon: forms that may appear as natural events in a different dimension than your own, as dream images, and even as self-propelling energy. [...] The energy within your own thoughts, then, does not dissipate even when you yourself have finished with them. [...]

3. The 453rd session, for December 4, 1968, is printed in its entirety in the Appendix of The Seth Material. In that session, I think, Seth came through with one of his most evocative conceptions: “You do not understand the dimensions into which your own thoughts drop, for they continue their own existences, and others look up to them and view them like stars. I am telling you that your own dreams and thoughts and mental actions appear to the inhabitants of other systems like the stars and planets within your own; and those inhabitants do not perceive what lies within and behind the stars in their own heavens.”

Your thoughts, for example, and your intents, have their own validity and force. [...]

[...] As soon as Jane came through with the material, I thought of adding some of its more generalized portions to this session. [...]

[...] Your thoughts are conscious, but the process of thinking itself is not. [...]

[...] The conscious mind must be in control of all actions as much as possible, for such a person feels that only rigid, logical thought is strong enough to hold back such strong impulsive force.

“Yet,” she continued, “second thoughts make us question old assumptions: Granted the existence of counterparts to begin with, certainly their common goals, though differently expressed, would bring them together when possible. [...]

(How different human relations would be, I thought after all of our guests had left, if the counterpart thesis could gain a more general acceptance on conscious levels.)

[...] Concepts have what we will call electrical and chemical composition [as thoughts do]. [...]

The material Ruburt thought was from me, was. [...]

[...] The thought was quite brief and without emphasis. [...] I did not mention my thought to Jane. [...]

[...] I also thought they were symbolic of the work put into my books. [...]

[...] Now, I am prepared to speak; however I thought you could do with a short rest.

[...] I thought the session a strong reaction to the evening and the gathering. [...] I thought too much excitement might be responsible here. [...]

[...] Previous to it, Jane told me she felt Seth; since strangers to Seth were present, we thought it best that he not come through. [...]

[...] I personally did not think we were unappreciative of what had taken place this evening, but Seth proceeded to drive the point home rather unmercifully, I thought at the time. [...]

[...] Thoughts have what we will for now term electromagnetic properties. In those terms your thoughts mix and match with others in Framework 2, creating mass patterns that form the overall psychological basis behind world events. [...] Constructive or ‘positive’ feelings or thoughts are more easily materialized than ‘negative’ ones because they are in keeping with Framework 2’s characteristics.”

[...] The assembly-line time and the beliefs that go along with it have given you many benefits as a society, but it should not be forgotten that the entire framework was initially set up to cut down on impulses, creative thought, or any other activities that would lead to anything but the mindless repetition of one act after another (intently).

[...] Thoughts are mental activity, scaled to time and space terms so that they are like mental edifices built to certain dimensions only. Your thoughts make you human (underlined).

(10:01 P.M. “Gee, I thought some of that was great while I was giving it, but now I can’t remember what it was,” Jane said as soon as Seth had gone. [...]

[...] Opposing determinism is the idea that man has always fought for his personal responsibility—that instead of being controlled entirely by his heritage, he’s capable of forming new syntheses of thought and action based upon the complicated patterns of his own history.

Your genetic structure reacts to each thought that you have, to the state of your emotions, to your psychological climate. [...]

[...] So like any animal, they are thought of as dispensable, sacrificed to a fine humanitarian end.

[...] Because the Jews were considered less than human—or, at best, human defects—they were thought of as justifiable sacrifices on the altar of “the genetic betterment of mankind.” [...]

Nor do I think that establishment science will soon be interested in Seth’s ideas that exchanges take place involving our genetic systems, the environment, and cultural events like politics and economics; or that our genetic systems react to our thoughts and emotions—let alone that there’s any genetic planning for future probabilities! [...]

[...] We ended up with my explaining my thoughts now. [...]

[...] “It just came to me, so I’m saying it as the result of a lot of similar thoughts. [...]

[...] I told her I thought we’d had plenty of clues as to her true resistance to them ever since the inception of Mass Events and the numerous delays involving that work. [...]

(“I’ve thought more and more lately about what happens when a person is born with very strong gifts—but can’t stand to use them, or has to pay a very high price indeed if they do try to use them. [...]

(This afternoon and evening, and somewhat to my surprise, Jane has been talking about discussing her physical symptoms in her new book, God of Jane. I thought her changed attitude stemmed from her long phone conversation with Tristine Rainer, of Dan Curtis Associates, a television production company that wants to option her life story. [...]

You saw in your parents the first signs of illness and age as you thought of those things. [...]

[...] (Pause.)In a fashion (underlined), Ruburt thought of his abilities as fascinating but untrustworthy allies: give them an inch and they will take a yard. [...]

[...] They were very unpleasant—frightening—and we thought that they were supposed to be therapeutic in nature, in line with Seth’s recent material. [...]

[...] When Debbie showed up and the time approached 9 PM, I thought Jane might choose to pass up the session after all. [...]

[...] The creative work was expected not only to be creative, imaginative, intuitive, to contain the highest elements of conceptual thought, but must also be capable of solving the most concrete physical problem, tuned with some magical tuning fork so that it could serve almost any purpose required of it. [...]

(We thought her desire has been triggered by a book a reader had mailed so that we received it yesterday—Magical Child, by Joseph Chilton Pierce, copyright 1977. [...] Jane said she thought Magical Child contained ideas reminiscent of her own and Seth’s ideas, and was also remindful of a book idea she’s considering at the moment, on the magical self. [...]

[...] The situation was reminiscent, I thought, of other sessions we’d held on warm summer nights with the doors and windows open, and listened to the distant sound of fireworks....)
