“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

First I achieved a partial projection of some kind, and thought I might complete it but didn’t. Strong thrilling sensations, feelings of being swept away. [...] I could feel the blanket over me and my pillow at neck move in odd fashion as if my physical body was making unaccustomed movements, but thought I was motionless. [...]

[...] After supper this evening Jane told me she thought Seth had come through twice, briefly, as she went about her daily chores before the session. [...]

[...] This is an error that is precisely due to that which Priestley himself abhors: distortions in thought caused by reliance upon the concept of time as a series of moments.

These times do not go on indefinitely in the precise manner that Dunne thought. [...]

[...] I thought I would cue you in here.

Thoughts, as you know, contain their own electromagnetic reality. This means that each thought is an electromagnetic system in fact and not just in theory. [...]

[...] I thought F. Fell would be too busy to continue with a session much longer, but called for a break in case Seth had a few parting words.

[...] I said I thought Seth referred to Jane here.

[...] She thought it was as terrible — as cheap and sensationalized — as I did. [...]

[...] They run directly counter to much of your official knowledge and contemporary thought as far as the mainstream of world culture is concerned. [...]

(“I just had an ugly thought,” I said. [...] Jane said she’d had the same thought at times.

[...] The thought of a new Seth book didn’t bother me. [...] I thought it marked a significant advance actually for it showed that she’d reached a point in her progress where she felt she could afford to devote some time to creative work that wasn’t just for herself. [...]

[...] Your thoughts buzz about like a bee (rings bell). [...]

Now you hear the words, but I am behind the words and highly creative activities must go on on both our parts, so that my thoughts can be translated into words that will make meaning and sense to you. [...]

[...] I read a few paragraphs from the first part of the session to her, since I thought them very important. [...]

It made his position clear to him in the world’s eyes, he thought. [...]

[...] I thought she’d probably not have a session, but eventually she decided to after we had talked it over. [...]

If you choose a safe universe then you may indeed find some old habitual ideas, thoughts or beliefs, coming to haunt you. [...]

As far as the book is concerned, change your habits of thought, EASIER SAID THAN DONE, and yet quite possible. [...]

(Pause, then forcefully:) I am trying to temper my statements here, but your psychology of the past 50 years has helped create insanities by trying to reduce the great individual thrust of life that lies within each person, to a generalized mass of chaotic impulses and chemicals — a mixture, again, of Freudian and Darwinian thought, misapplied.

[...] Science thought in terms of averages and statistics, and each person was supposed to fit within those realms.

[...] A schizophrenic suffers from a division between thought processes and emotions. [...]

[...] My first thought was to recast his subjunctive mood in the next paragraph entirely in the present tense. My second thought was to leave the paragraph as it is—but to add the two bracketed inserts for greater clarity. [...]

[...] Human beings are far too diverse to be satisfied by any one system of thought, or even by any related group of them.

[...] He thought they were fascinating, charming, self-destructive, and wasted most of their time in emotional and sexual excursions leading nowhere. [...]

The Spanish connection is important not because of Spain, but because of its international implications: the newer, broader field of your own thought. [...]

[...] He equated, again, the writer or poet as highly gifted but emotionally not stable, so that he thought he had to set himself against his own nature in order to produce.

[...] He would do what he would do anyway, protecting himself as he thought fit. [...]

[...] They served expression and creativity, and they insured financial security—but at the same time they made Ruburt’s unofficial “dangerous” thoughts publicly available. [...]

(I mentioned to Jane a question I’d thought of during the session but hadn’t interrupted to ask: If the subconscious can reason, as Seth tells us, why doesn’t it understand that at times it can go too far sometimes?—that obviously the idea of selfprotection can be very damaging if carried to extremes. [...]

[...] It is almost impossible for you to understand the evolution of your thoughts and understanding throughout the years, or your impact upon others—I am speaking jointly.

4.) For three hours I want him to write whatever he wants, freeing his mind from thoughts of his symptoms, and from responsibility.

(I thought I had lots of them, but felt quite tired. [...]

[...] And once again, as we waited I thought that I was the one who’d initiated events this evening, whereas I had trouble understanding why Jane didn’t do more of that herself. [...]

[...] It may even be, I’ve often thought, that one cannot really leave the body alone, nor be meant to—for the physical body would be a portion of the reality each individual creates, and so is bound to be intimately involved with individual fears, desires, intents, successes, etc.)

You were of great benefit, you see, tonight, in actively mentioning the session—providing that stimuli, when Ruburt thought at least that his energies would not allow it. [...]

True wisdom, true wisdom, true wisdom does not need thought and true wisdom does not need intellect. Now in the meantime, you will have to get by with thought and intellect because you rely upon it so strongly and there is nothing wrong with it. [...]

[...] Now in your quiet moments you still identify with the body and think, I am this flesh and I am imprisoned within it and when it is gone then I am done, and these thoughts inhibit your freedom. [...]

[...] I thought he wanted it at the time. [...]

[...] No matter what Ruburt said, he thought of himself as working in a highly specialized, misunderstood small field.

(I for one had never thought of Jane’s symptoms as having such a cause, but...I am still puzzled by the worsening of her symptoms when we got back home after being on tour to publicize The Seth Material, in September of 1970. [...]

(“I thought it would.”)

(“I thought it was interested that I picked on the two Bills for models—Bill Gallagher and Bill Macdonel.”

(“Did you expect my father to go back home?” I meant: what did Seth think of my father going back home to live under mother’s care, from the hospital, instead of going to a nursing home, as we had all thought quite possible.)

[...] He envied you what he thought of as your coolness, and in trying to emulate it at times he only used it as an excuse to continue this old pattern of withdrawal.

He thought you discouraged deep conversation unless there was some crisis that brought about a confrontation. [...]

[...] I also thought I had detected an emotional charge in her voice while she was in trance—something which is very unusual, etc.
