“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Seldom, for example, is it thought of in horizontal terms. [...]

We go back to our fundamentals: You create reality through your feelings, thoughts, and mental actions. [...]

Since consciousness forms matter, and not the other way around, then thought exists before the brain and after it. [...]

[...] I went out because I thought I should; anyhow later, the parts stopped being sore; and walking there was another difference as if I were trying to swing some from side to side the way you should; felt some ambitious, cleaned bathroom a bit....

(“I believe I’ve thought of that.”)

[...] Rob thought of asking Seth to slow down, but he wasn’t sure what was happening, and thought it best not to interrupt.

[...] But I thought that the Seth sessions themselves would more or less remain the same. [...]

(In here I had visual inner images as of stars being born—an attempt, I thought, to put the data into recognizable visual terms.)

No one thought anything in particular about that last statement until later that night. [...]

(I thought the second of the two long words Seth had been groping toward might be glutamate, after the common food preservative monosodium glutamate. I thought that once I had read the chemical also had a medical use, but could not recall much here.

(We did not know who they referred to particularly, but thought of the Gallaghers, since Peggy had canceled her date for tonight’s session because of “something urgent.” [...]

[...] Jane and I had the same thought, independently, before mentioning it: that this impression referred to the layout of the Gallagher’s house, where the 170th session was recorded. [...]

(On March 19,1966 I had a long, vivid and involved dream that I thought probably quite significant. [...]

[...] Not that I thought Seth was going out of his way to deal with such concepts tonight, but by the time he was through with his material on the sleepwalkers, I thought he’d considered at least one possible facet of my inquiry.

[...] At the breakfast table, I told her I thought the material was connected to the sessions in Personal Reality on the interior sound, light, and electromagnetic values “around or from which” the physical image forms. [...]

[...] Less clear were some data about herself but she thought Seth would cover all of that along with his material on “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] Whereupon Jane said she thought it did at one level, but she didn’t elaborate.

[...] Though we were trying the experiment for the book, we thought that seances were kooky, somehow unrespectable. [...]

The next night we held what we thought might be our last session. [...]

[...] The session so aroused our intellectual and intuitional curiosity that all thoughts of discontinuing went out the window.

[...] If we thought that Seth “came through” as himself in the last sessions, we had a lot to learn in the next one, when Seth’s own, more powerful voice suddenly emerged.

[...] We had always thought we’d get the answers when we took the time for them.)

[...] All thoughts are composed of energy, and from our discussions you realize that there are electrical intensities within whose range all reality exists.

Every thought therefore has this kind of reality, which is the only reality, basically speaking. [...]

(We had thought of this, since this typewriter was bought at about the same time, from the same store.)

[...] Jane now said this word was Seth’s way of leading her to the price on the object, 50¢; she thought that if she voiced the word dollar, Seth might have tried to get the 50¢ through.

[...] At first it was thought seriously. [...]

(Jane and I thought the strong emotional content of this experience accounted for its cropping up in the data, since the incident took place at the location designated by the object; although on a different day, it still took place within the same week. [...]

[...] She was smiling, somewhat expectantly, I thought. [...]

[...] Yesterday I thought I had more understanding why Sonja wanted the painting, and so decided to sell it. [...]

[...] And in other ways to lesser degrees, through abstract thought, through art of any kind, the physical human being, having been formed by consciousness, in his own way then working through and with matter, constructs other fields or planes of attraction, which according to their abilities expand.

It amuses me, as a last thought, that your word “pit”, in sound, is like a core, and suggesting depth for considering inwardness as the pit. [...]

[...] Thought it might be a person’s.

[...] Though the price was quite high, Ruburt and Joseph thought about buying it, and were taken through the home by the real estate people. [...]

As the two couples talked, it turned out that there were other “coincidences”: Ruburt and Joseph had recently thought of taking a weekend vacation at a particular resort motel, within the general area but not especially close by. [...]

[...] From my grade-school days I thought I remembered the house’s large living room especially; for the Markles had raised two children who were contemporary with my next youngest brother and me; sometimes the four of us met at the house, then went to school together.

[...] We thought that the two houses were already involved in a remarkable-enough series of “coincidences.”

[...] Do not equate turmoil with excitement and peace with turmoil for these are also conventional habits of thought that do not necessarily apply. Traveling can be external, but you can travel around the world and go nowhere and you can sit in your chair and travel beyond the universe, so do not be taken in by conventional habits of thought regardless of which conventions the patterns follow. [...]

2. From any of Seth’s books — let alone Jane’s — I could cite a number of comments that question much of the thinking behind different Eastern systems of religious thought. [...]

[...] No one is free of certain minimum physical needs or of self-oriented thought, I remarked to Jane recently, and each nation strives to expand its technological base no matter what its philosophy may be. [...]

[...] Once again the voice was high and formal, but I thought not so distinct, not so distant. [...]

[...] I thought she might go to sleep, or so it appeared.)

Dreamers make their own sidewalks,
Webs stretched out from thought to thought,
Extensions of the restless skull,
Invisible and dark and still.

[...] When you consider that each of your own thoughts is composed of a unique intensity of impulse, shared by nothing else; that the same may be said for every dream you will have in your lifetime; and that all your experience is gathered together in particular ranges of intensity, again completely unique; and that the summation of all that you are exists in one minute range or band of intensities, then you will see how difficult this is to explain. [...]

My dreaming self
Lay on the bed.
I stood aside with awe.
“Why, both of us are one,” I said.
He said, “I thought you knew.”

One eye looked out upon the form —
The thigh’s spread galaxies — and saw
The burst of each cell-star that plunged
Into instant shape within the flesh.
The other eye, turned inward, glimpsed
New webworks and cocoons
Spun from thoughts and dreams that spread
Images outward with each breath.

(All of us, including Peggy, were amused when she insisted that she tolerated Willy’s presence because she thought Jane was touching her, instead of the cat.

[...] Seth said Peggy used rationalization in saying that she stood for Willy’s proximity because she thought Jane touched her instead of the cat. [...]

[...] Both Bill and Peggy said they thought they could have done better had Jane taken more time with her induction, yet Jane’s approach had been quite leisurely; thus time appeared to have been compressed for them.

[...] Every thought is composed of its own energy, and it has an effect within energy. [...]

(My confusion over the name of my cousin Ruth stemmed from the fact that when Seth referred to “your town” I thought of Sayre, PA, where I grew up, instead of Elmira, 18 miles away, where Ruth grew up. [...]

No thought or idea is extinguished, and they all follow the laws which I am in the process of giving you. [...]

[...] Jim T’s thought was that his wife could take shorthand notes of the sessions. [...]

[...] She thought: “Why, this isn’t today—yet it must be. [...]

[...] I thought I was in a hospital room. [...]

[...] After Marilyn left Jane and I discovered that both of us had been alarmed by the child in some vague way; his actions had been quite overtly strong, we thought, involving such things as pretending to kill our cat Willy, taking swings at Jane and me, etc. [...]

[...] You both let Framework 2 slide in your thoughts—generally speaking. [...]

[...] The body is a mental expression, yet thoughts are physically expressed. [...]

[...] Jane’s pace had been good throughout, and I thought the material excellent. [...]
