“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Some will be physical-like materializations, images of trees or houses or people. [...]

(11:00.) Trees as they stand are a sound that, again, you do not perceive. [...]

This sense would permit our man to feel the basic sensations felt by the tree, so that instead of looking at it, his consciousness would expand to contain the experience of what it is to be a tree. [...]

[...] … In concrete terms, if a tree branch moves, then you take it for granted that something blows it. [...]

Then Seth told Rob to imagine a man looking at a tree in the near distance on an ordinary street, with intervening houses and sidewalks.

[...] Just beyond the court, and next to the sidewalk, grew an old shagbark hickory tree that I had always loved, and still remember vividly. The tree would be in the Brenner’s front yard now.

[...] ‘What’s that?’ I exclaimed to Floyd, as I saw a large dark shape near the hickory tree. [...]

“Now I saw, again to my surprise, that the deer had been broken in pieces and lay in the Brenner’s front yard, where the hickory tree had stood a moment ago. [...]

No apple tree tries to grow violets. [...] Much more of your knowledge can be conscious, therefore; but a false belief, a limiting one, is as ambiguous to your nature as any apple tree’s idea that it was a violet plant.

It could not produce violets, nor could it be a good apple tree while it tried to. [...]

[...] There were other homes about, but each one had a feeling of privacy amid its thick insulation of trees. [...] It was a ranch-style, cedar-sided dwelling that had just been painted a dark green — a conventional one-story affair with white shutters, a fireplace, a picture window, an attached double garage in back, and many trees and shrubs. [...] The house faced the south; before it in the valley lay Elmira itself; almost hidden by trees; beyond the city the hills rose in tiers. [...]

[...] The story says that Eve tempted the male, having him eat of the tree of good and evil, or the tree of knowledge. [...]

[...] The psyche’s roots are secure, nourishing it like a tree from the ground of being. [...]

[...] A tree does not have to ask for nourishment from the ground or the sun, and so everything that you need is available to you in your practical experience. [...]

[...] The story says that Eve tempted the male, having him eat of the tree of good and evil, or the tree of knowledge. [...]

[...] The trees thrashed over our heads, and Jane’s nervousness finally infected me. [...]

[...] A squirrel ran up a nearby tree. [...]

[...] In the photo Del and Maxine stand surrounded by trees and bushes of various kinds and size, flowers, etc.

[...] Only part of a window and a wall can be glimpsed through nearby trees. [...]

[...] In the photo the tree branches in their left background form an interesting pattern also, with the building mentioned at the top of this page seen behind them; usually when Jane uses the word miscellany to denote irregular shapes the data is too general.

[...] I told Jane about the plan and she more or less likes it, although she mourns the loss of the trees. [...]

[...] The trees seem way behind schedule; we’ve seen the first signs of their leaves turning color just recently. [...]

[...] Pretend that in an exploration during a projection you found yourself beside a tree. You entered the tree. [...]

[...] Episode in 6th grade very important… very important year… See 5 years or number 5…I do not understand… A complete change of opinion in family group that did not work to your advantage… Perhaps 1947 or 1943…a disturbance…a connection with another child…initial F & perhaps M…something on an occasion beneath pine trees…& water… CM (?) the M. in Greenwich…1937 or 1938, another child, a male….

[...] To that degree, then, there are indeed “tree gods,” gods of the forest, and “gods of being” connected with each person.

[...] In such a way one tree in a forest knows of the entire environment and its relationship in it. [...]

The outer senses observing the reflection might try to judge the depth of the water by the height of the tree, supposing it to be as deep as the tree is high.

[...] In some cases the distortive effect could be likened to the reflection of a solid tree in water.

(To Natalie.) Now, I will help you send energy to your tree. If we can fix one tree, surely we can do something with the universe. [...]

[...] In quite true terms, your dreams and the trees outside of your windows have a common denominator: they both spring from the withinness of consciousness.⁵

5. And trees have their dreams, too. [...]

(In reference to the Apples data above, I should add that an apple tree in the backyard of our place here in Elmira can also furnish connections. Leonard Yaudes, the author of the envelope object, irritated Jane somewhat in July by cutting some of the limbs from this tree. He also talked of cutting the tree itself down, and Jane asked him not to.

[...] A large, old and beautiful apple tree sits in the backyard. [...]

[...] A tree is conscious of itself as a tree. [...]
