“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] To me, a thought is an action. [...]

I did not then distinguish as to whether or not, in this particular case, what you thought was true. [...]

[...] It’s wider than I thought. [...]

[...] If you begin to concentrate upon the importance of the nature of thought, to become overly concerned with the processes involved with thinking or reasoning, then your very conscious concern would make those processes seem all the more complicated, while instead it is easy to see that those processes are quite naturally equipped to handle their own tasks with remarkable ease. [...]

[...] His mother let it be known that she had no use for him, and he thought if his mother could not love him, then certainly there must be something seriously wrong and unworthy about him.

[...] The overly conscientious self was angry (today and tonight), and he projected this anger at you, so that he thought he was simply a bother to you, and of no benefit. [...]

Much of this is difficult to explain, again, for information and knowledge is constantly transformed — almost completely reborn, so to speak, through characteristics that are inherently a part of thought itself. [...]

[...] Those interactions exist about you all the while, and I would like you in your thoughts to aspire toward them, to try to stretch your perceptions enough so that you become at least somewhat aware of their existence.

[...] Nowhere in my first book did I say that I thought Seth was exactly what he said he was: “an energy personality essence no longer focused in physical reality.” [...]

[...] But Christ you could at least respect, I thought. [...]

[...] A surviving soul seemed part and parcel of the adults’ nonsense I’d thought I’d escaped, thanks to a college education, a quick mind, and a fine dose of native rebelliousness. [...]

[...] He thought that the fluency of the material suggested a subconscious origin, but emphasized that at this stage it was impossible to tell. [...]

I took Phil at his word, but I also thought that coincidence could have explained the episode. [...]

[...] Seth might very well be right, we thought—and we might be happier if we bought the house—but we just weren’t willing to take the chance.

[...] Over the railing, a small body of water was visible, and beyond this there was a much larger body of water, an ocean, I thought. [...]

[...] I thought that anything less than a perfect performance cast doubts on Seth’s independent nature.

[...] If they turned out even half as good as the out-of-body data, I thought, we’d still be getting off to a great start.

(At first Jane and I thought of calling this session a deleted one—but its subject matter fits into Dreams too well for us to do that.

[...] Thought, for example, has properties that you do not perceive—properties that not only affect matter, but that form their own greater patterns outside of your reality. [...]

[...] I’ve thought of trying to do a painting of my best dream images of all time … yet wonder how I can do it….”

[...] At 8:55 PM Jane received a flash which she thought to be from Seth: “Pat is insisting on using the gift of life in a certain way.”

Now I speak to you honestly, and while you may find my words harsh they are spoken with both love and compassion, and (underlined) understanding of your innermost thoughts. [...]

[...] Jane stared at me for so long that I thought the session was over.

[...] That you thought... [...]

[...] This does not mean that in another realm your thoughts will not affect you. [...]

[...] It would help if at those levels he imagined his body as plastoid, always in a state of change, as fluid as his thoughts, and not so much a physical thing. [...]

[...] In most such instances the tirade will continue for some time, while in other far lesser episodes it might instead simply leap to disordered, confused thoughts about being so pursued. [...]

[...] We thought the voice effects were connected to her hearing and vision difficulties, which also fluctuated to some degree. [...]

[...] At once, however, I thought of adding these qualities to Jane’s attributes:

[...] I thought her sleeping after saying she wanted a personal session was a poor sign. [...]

[...] (She began to slack off from Magical Approach early last October—two months ago—after working well on the first three chapters.) Tonight, I even speculated, admitted my fear, that in a way she’s embarked upon a long-range campaign to at least drastically reduce, if not eliminate, her communication with the world, for one sacrifice follows another in an order that can hardly be accidental, Jane revealed that she’d had similar thoughts.

[...] This came from the mirth reference, she thought, and she was not sure the chain of association was correct. Sometimes it is left up to her as to what train of thought to follow. [...]

(Jane didn’t have much to say about the map simile, but thought the ground crack idea pertinent. [...]

[...] I thought of joining her myself, but did not mention it because I did not want to lose painting time. [...]

[...] Seth adds a bit of data during the questioning, and verifies my first thought here, that this data refers to our having a telephone—black—installed because of Jane’s teaching job. [...]

[...] In addition, the neighbor had just returned to Elmira from a trip to Ohio, so the Ohio thought was mentioned in the conversation more than once. [...]

[...] Here Seth was still considering the previous questions pertaining, Jane thought, to the automobile or taxi idea.

[...] Jane now said she thought this data somewhat distorted, and that by foreign she meant something new and strange to her, rather than literally out of the country. [...]

[...] Jane said that here she thought of Gomez Addams, a character in the Addams Family TV program—and that the similarity lay in the initials G A, for both Gomez Addams and Gladys Austin.

[...] Jane doesn’t know why, but when she met Gladys for the first time she thought of lettuce. [...]

[...] Jane thought all this data an attempt to get at the name Gladys Austin on the memo used as object. [...]

[...] She thought at first that the object might also come from such an arrangement; upon close examination, however, we can only tell that the object came from a pad that was bound at the top of the page; the edge there is slightly roughened, as though torn loose.

[...] John clashed with his superior at the meeting, and because of his outspoken actions had no thought of getting a raise.)

[...] John would make a good subject, we thought, because he lives some distance away and Seth could tune in practically whenever he pleased.

(This thought comes to me: Quite a few sessions ago Seth remarked that an event would occur which would bind John, Jane and I together. [...]

(John thought he agreed with Seth’s statements on free will. [...]

[...] He is doing much better than the doctor thought that he would, while often refusing to follow the conventional course of action that the good doctor advised. [...]

[...] I thought that the way she was improving, she’d be able to work up to such a step. [...]

[...] When you become overly concerned or worried in any area, remember that you are thinking those thoughts while the process of thinking is utterly effortless. [...]

[...] At once, I told Jane, I thought that science and religion would be violently opposed to the idea, at least in the beginning, for it would challenge many rigid beliefs held by each of those disciplines. [...]
