“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The other probable actions, however, are as valid as they ever were, though you have not chosen to actualize them physically. They are carried out as effectively as the one you chose to accept. If there was a strong emotional charge behind one of the rejected probable actions, it may even have greater validity as an act than the one you chose.

(9:30.) Let us take an example. You are reading this book when the telephone rings. A friend wants you to meet him at five o’clock. You stand considering. In your mind you see yourself (A) saying no and staying home, (B) saying no and going somewhere else instead, or (C) saying yes and keeping the engagement. Now all of these possible actions have a reality at that point. They are all capable of being actualized in physical terms. Before you make your decision, each of these probable actions are equally valid. You choose one of these, and by your decision you make one event out of the three physical. This event is duly accepted as a portion of those serial happenings that compose your normal existence.

All actions are initially mental acts. This is the nature of reality. That sentence cannot be emphasized too thoroughly. All mental acts therefore are valid. They exist and cannot be negated.

Because you do not accept them all as physical events, you do not perceive their strength or durability. Your lack of perception cannot destroy their validity, however. If you wanted to be a doctor and are now in a different profession, then in some other probable reality you are a doctor. If you have abilities that you are not using here, they are being used elsewhere.

Your own material is excellent and valid. [...]

That is what I meant when I said the material was valid. [...]

[...] His references to my own material being valid concerned my insights that many of the heads I paint represent my own psychic searches, or efforts, to obtain understanding of the dimensions of the psyche through reincarnation and counterpart depictions of those various personalities.)

(Lately we have begun using the pendulum to “verify” the validity of our predictions, and our interpretation of them. [...] At times it will not agree with our interpretation of what it calls a valid prediction. And at times it will state that a prediction is valid, when we can see nothing during the following day’s events to tie to the prediction.)

Ruburt may trust the pendulum, although care should be taken as far as predictions are concerned, though with training the pendulum will give valid answers to predictions.

[...] Is that a valid use of it?”)

[...] Any material proof of this sort is extremely difficult, since oftentimes you pick up a generalized picture of coming events, so to speak, and the words that you use are so literal that they cannot convey the whole picture sufficiently enough so that validity can be proven, in your terms. [...]

The particular event as he saw it was not valid, but the information contained therein was valid. [...]

This does not make the experience any less valid. Merely it was the use of a mental implement, through which valid information could be received. [...]

[...] In his dream, therefore, which he knew he would remember because of his training, he then added shielding fabrications, interwoven with the valid information.

[...] In this case, even while distortions come through, there is a validity of basic undistorted material.

[...] There is a validity to the information that you received, and accept that validity. Accept it, and realize that the nature of its validity will come to you. [...] So do not thrust it aside and do not blame your Jason or yourself, but be thankful for what you have, which is valid information. [...]

[...] I cannot impress upon you too deeply the validity of both these existences, that you consider dual. [...]

[...] In this reality you only accept it as valid when it is directed toward physical matter and perception. [...]

[...] There are various schools and religions that try, in distorted terms, to express the self’s validity, but the distortions have smothered the basic validity of the teachings.

There were frameworks that could have offered help, but he saw that they were not intrinsically valid and so did not depend upon them. [...]

[...] Your time is valid only within your system, and it is not particularly valid within your system. [...]

Anything that you can see and feel and touch exists within your own reality, yes, and within it, it is legitimate and valid. [...]

[...] Shall I tell you which of the two realities are more valid and which is least distorted? [...]

[...] You have experiences even while you dream that are more real and more valid than any that you have while your eyes are wide open.

[...] Many [events] may later appear as physical ones, while others just as valid will not. [...]

Now, using an analogy only, let me explain that your thoughts and feelings also give off shadows (intently) that we will here call hallucinations.² They are quite valid. [...]

[...] On the other hand, they are valid representations of your inner climate at the time of any given dream. [...]

[...] They are quite valid, but they are also hallucinations cast by your own thoughts and feelings. [...]

[...] The point to remember here is that the results from the tests will be so valid that they will not be overlooked, and yet their validity will be different in quality. [...]

[...] Nevertheless, no one will argue that a psychological experience has no validity. A psychological experience is so valid that it can change the course, not only of one life, but of many.

Therefore, the proof in our experiments will be valid in the terms that a psychological experience is valid; and more, because by its results it will make itself known. [...]

[...] The experience during psychological time, involving your own image by a body of water, was a most valid clairvoyant experience, in that you have not as yet visited this particular spot, and it was a glimpse into what you prefer to call the future.

BIOLOGICALLY VALID THOUGHTS, ATTITUDES, AND BELIEFS

— and we will begin Chapter 2, to be titled: “Biologically Valid Thoughts, Attitudes, and Beliefs.”

[...] He convinced that portion that the old beliefs about good and evil, self-destruction, and the existence of the Catholic devil, were not valid. [...]

[...] The overall picture, the validity of the existence, carried through the distortions, however. [...]

[...] You insist upon them to add to the validity of past life narratives, yet these are precisely those things that are forgotten first, and that have least value psychologically.

Many such reincarnational narratives are liberally sprinkled with names and dates simply to satisfy those who insist upon them, because the emotional and psychological validity may not be accepted otherwise. [...]

The reality, the validity, the immediacy of those lives do exist simultaneously with your present life. [...]

Again as with master events, we’re dealing with a different framework of action entirely, where the Mona Lisa is “more real” than the physical properties that compose it, which is not to deny the validity of the canvas, say. But to discuss Seth or Seth’s ideas primarily from the true-or-false framework is the same thing as considering the Mona Lisa only from the validity of the physical properties of paint and canvas; very, very limiting. [...]

[...] Of course, it was a valid construction. [...]

[...] Their validity is dependent upon the individual’s ability to receive inner data, to translate inner data, to manipulate energy, and to construct it onto the material field.

I have also spoken of constructions which do not appear in the usual manner on the physical level, though they exist and are valid. [...]

[...] Certain conditions, which we will discuss at length later, are necessary for a completely valid or effective materialization into human form.

[...] If God could tell a man to slay a son, and if private revelation were granted validity, then “divinely inspired crimes” might not only be legion, but might also take man’s energies away from accepted Godly pursuits—like fighting the infidels or heretics at home (all louder).

You could not have a cohesive society based upon the validity of private revelation, when you believed in a God who was so bloodthirsty, and who demanded such proofs of obedience. [...]

[...] The “New Aquarian Age” may be an exaggeration, and about it are grouped many distorted ideas—yet it is a popular term that stands for an insight on the part of the people, and is a result of quite valid inner knowledge that an era is ending, and that another has to some extent already begun.

[...] It was given no validity, nor acknowledged as valid. [...]

The fears were never granted validity, however, though sometimes given vague intellectual recognition. [...]

[...] You did not grant its feelings any validity. [...]

[...] The knowledge gained must then be integrated by the physical personality, and yet by its nature, valid knowledge of this kind will shed out its light and make its own way.

[...] Many individuals have experienced unusual, quite valid and intense expansions of consciousness, but found themselves unable to correlate the new knowledge with past beliefs, to make the changes necessary to handle the sensitivity. [...]

[...] Those who persist, therefore, in shielding their truths from questions threaten to destroy the validity of their knowledge.

[...] Any valid expansion of consciousness is itself, of course, a part of the message. [...]

You cannot do this by ignoring the validity of the thoughts as your experience, however (very intensely), by trying to shove them under the rug of a superficial optimism. [...]

[...] In their way the hateful or revengeful thoughts are natural therapeutic devices, for if you follow them, accepting them with their own validity as feelings, they will automatically lead you beyond themselves; they will change into other feelings, carrying you from hatred into what may seem to be the quicksands of fear — which is always behind hatred.

(10:12.) As with Andrea (see the last session), you must accept the validity of your feelings while realizing that they are about certain issues or conditions, and are not necessarily factual statements of your reality. [...]

[...] Yet you firmly ignore any changes in your appearance from the time you were, say, thirty — and in so doing lose sight of your validity as a creature in space and time.

Objects and conditions within the habitual environment become changed with various emotions, to which you can then rather automatically react, without questioning their validity. [...] This is highly simplified, but very valid indeed.

[...] I obtained much valid information. [...]

Now Ruburt has said, and I have said, do not blame yourself, and this is valid in those terms. [...]

[...] All are valid to some degree.

Dream objects are secondary constructions, but very valid ones. [...]

[...] They are valid and actual experiences, though often intermixed with other dream elements. [...]

To deny the validity or importance of the individual is, therefore, also to deny the importance or validity of God, for the two exist one within the other, and you cannot separate them.
