“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The difference between value fulfillment and growth, the fifth dimension, and the expanding universe portions should also be stressed. When man realizes that he himself creates his personal and universal environment in concrete terms, then he can begin to create a private and universal environment much superior to the one that is the result of haphazard and unenlightened constructions.

[...] She thought the title should be The Physical Universe as Idea Construction. [...]

[...] When they take fire however, they literally sweep through the universe.

[...] Such expansion reacquaints the known self with the great energy that supports it, therefore bringing an individual to a point of understanding in which the concept of a safe universe makes sense. The idea of a personal universe will be emphasized.

[...] You also need the reinforcement yourself of the safe universe concepts.

[...] In fact, the behavior of any object in your universe is “predictable” only because you concentrate upon such a small portion of its reality.² Unpredictability assures uniqueness, and is the opposite of predetermined motion. [...]

[...] The dream-art scientist, the true mental physicist, the complete physician — such designations represent the kinds of training that could allow you to understand the unknown, and therefore the known reality, and so become aware of the blueprints that exist behind the physical universe. [...]

Each individual is a universe in a small package. [...]

Dictation: You must understand that in a manner of speaking, Framework 2 is on the one hand an invisible version of the physical universe. On the other hand, however, it is far more than that, for it contains within it probable variations of that universe — from the most cosmic scale, say, down to probable versions of the most minute events of any given physical day.

2. I think that tonight, when he started talking about the inclination of Framework 2 toward good or constructive development, Seth began to elaborate a bit on his statement after 9:50 in the last session, when he told us that the universe “is automatically predisposed … toward the creation of ‘good’ events.”

We have been speaking of the electric reality and actuality of thoughts and emotions, and of dreams, and of all such experiences which appear to be purely psychological in origin, and take up no space in your physical universe.

[...] In the physical universe, height and thickness determine to a large degree the potentialities, physically speaking, of any organism. [...]

[...] This involves distance in essence, although within your physical universe the particular road does not exist, so that spatially no distance would exist.

There are indeed universes composed of such faster-than-light particles. Some of these in your terms share the same space as your own universe. [...]

[...] Most scientists believe they exist on the edge of our observable universe. [...]

[...] Consciousness did not come from atoms and molecules scattered by chance through the universe, or scattered by chance through many universes. [...]

[...] Without the consciousness, the matter would not be there in the universe, floating around, waiting for another component to give it reality, consciousness, existence, or song.”

Dictation: In connection with the creation of the universe, and with the creation of public and private events alike, let us for a moment consider a different kind of myth.

[...] By the time you are adults, it certainly seems that you are a subjective being in an objective universe, at the mercy of others, and with only the most superficial control over the events of your lives.³

That event resulted in a scribbled manuscript, unpublished, called The Physical Universe as Idea Construction. [...]

The magical approach puts you in harmony with your own individual knowledge of the universe. [...]

(9:55.) The universe is not dependent upon your belief in it in order that it can exist. [...]

[...] This universe is not maintained by conscious thought and if all of you together had to consciously decide ahead of time why the universe should exist, it would not exist, for you would not have made up your mind yet. [...]

[...] Then immediately forget it and imagine the vitality of the universe as being strong enough and wise enough to absorb your petty violence and survive. [...]

[...] Therefore, look within yourselves, look in the physical universe where there appears to be nothing and you will find there are other kinds of reality. [...]

[...] Played old Safe Universe Seth tape for them, was struck by Seth’s discussion strongly and saw how back in ‘75 he had the issues already organized for the future.... [...]

You cannot give suggestions, saying that your personal life and universe is safe, when on the other hand you believe it is threatened by other people, or conditions. [...]

[...] The notes were even titled — The Physical Universe as Idea Construction.

[...] We call it the Seth material, and it deals with such topics as the nature of physical matter, time, and reality, the god concept, probable universes, health, and reincarnation. [...]

To our way of thinking, we have kept over six hundred appointments with the universe — though Rob would never describe it that way himself. [...]

[...] The universe speaks to each of us in this regard. [...]

This sense, however, is concerned with the innate knowledge of the universe in its entirety; and particular data about specific areas of the universe often is given to a living organism to make manipulation in a specific area possible.

“The universe as you think of it contains innumerable planes, all taking up, in your terms, the same amount of space. [...]

[...] The appearance of an expanding universe is also caused, therefore, by this distortive boundary effect …

[...] The earthly viewer attempts to correlate what he sees with what he supposedly knows or imagines possible in the universe.

[...] A plane is something apparently divided from the rest of the universe for a time and for a reason. [...]

[...] The Seth material is a long way from being on computer—if that ever happens—and relatively few readers will make the journey to Yale University Library, to study the collection of Jane’s and my papers that’s available there for anyone to see.

[...] Eventually they’re added to the collection of our papers at Yale University Library, while not being open to the public for privacy’s sake.

Before Seth began a discussion of dreams, and as a preliminary, he explained the natural mobility of human consciousness and outlined the main features of the “interior universe” that could be glimpsed in both waking and dream states and which underlie physical reality. This introduction offers a natural pathway into the area of dreams (part of the interior universe) and to the other states of consciousness possible within the dream framework. [...]

I’m including in this chapter a few poems as notes of a subjective autobiography, to show what events triggered this first release of unconscious material on my part, opening the doors to the interior universe; for now I believe that certain personal conditions are characteristic prerequisites for such developments, that the channels of intuitive knowledge are opened according to the intensity of individual need. [...]

The material of the physical universe is created spontaneously and constantly, even as the dream locations in the dream world are so created; and as it is impossible in terms of time as you know it to set a point of beginning in the dream world, so it is impossible to attempt to do the same as far as the physical universe is concerned.

[...] It only applies to your own dimension, and will never make headway in explaining those numberless projections that appear within your universe from a dimension separated from it.

You are afraid, and he is, unconsciously, that you will fall off the edges of the known universe, that the conscious mind won’t function out of the body, and that only chaos will meet you, and this is not the case. [...]

[...] And with each portion of your thought and desire you can leave it as freely as a vagabond who can then find peace and joy and contentment in any corner of the universe and reform your body as well with joy and exaltation, and not fear it will disintegrate or disappear while you are gone. [...]

Now before I bid you a fond good evening let me tell you that those of you who come to class regularly and gravitate here, if you have not already discovered this for yourself, are the black sheep of the universe. [...]
