“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] But the world itself seemed to have no end. It was literally a limitless world in a way most difficult for you to understand; for to you, the world has shrunk.

(11:16.) This unlimited world constantly replenished itself. [...]

I am mentioning this only to stress the fact that self-delight and self-approval (long pause) are natural characteristics — characteristics that actually make your entire physical world, and world of experience, possible.

[...] He would then momentarily, for a while, withdraw from the workaday world. [...]

[...] You live in a social world, so the symptoms also served as face-saving devices. [...]

Ruburt had a reason for not going on tour, for example—one that was certainly acceptable enough in a world of conventional understanding. [...]

[...] So the reasoning: “Get better, then you can go out into the world to go on television or whatever,” or “Once you get better, you will be delighted to go on television and tell your story”—those directives simply make the issues more muddy. [...]

[...] The conscious options that opened as man’s mental world enlarged made it impossible to allow sufficient freedom, and yet necessary control, on a biological level alone.

When women give birth in a crowded world they also know, and with a portion of their conscious minds, that a violation is involved. [...]

[...] As a man can be so divided, so can a nation and a world. [...]

[...] Very simply, delta brain waves are connected with dreamless sleep, theta with creativity and dreams, alpha with a relaxed alertness and changing consciousness; beta — the fastest — with concentration, and with an intense focus upon all of the challenges [and anxieties and stresses, many would say] faced in the ordinary daily world.

[...] Each official waking brain wave is a peak in your world of a far deeper “wave” of other experience, and represents your points of continuity.

Despite your reliance upon one range only, your world of consciousness draws heavily upon all of the known wave patterns, and from others of which you are unaware. [...]

[...] We live in a world slung between our dearest hopes and greatest fears, while seldom encountering either in their pure form.

[...] The whole world of nature is an irrepressible, expressible area of expansion. [...]

Most such personages, however, begin to prophesy the end of the world, from which the chosen people — whoever they may be — will be saved. More than a few have rendered specific dates for this worldly foreclosure — dates which have come and gone. [...]

I was untouched ten years ago,
By love and even pain.
The world touched me or touched me not.
To me it was the same.

See the wide world circus spread
Upon the earth’s great sacred ground.
The masks at midnight tumble down
And the great stone faces stare.

No magic then will move our blood,
Nor moonlight rush through brittle bone.
Then let us plunge while there is time
Through worlds to look back upon.

[...] In a world where humans slaughtered their own kind constantly, who in their right mind would give a moment’s thought to a cat’s consciousness? [...]

Raindrop patterns in a puddle follow certain laws having to do with the contours of the land, the weather, the nature of the rain, of the clouds, the height from which the raindrops fall, and the conditions operating in the nearby and far portions of the world. [...]

[...] Your own thoughts, dreams, intents, emotions, beliefs — these are the natural features of your mind, so that information, impinging upon your mental world, also follows those contours.

(Long pause.) You know that the natural world changes its form constantly. [...]

[...] On this level individual dreams help form mass reality, yet also to some extent arise from it in the same way that local weather conditions contribute to world weather conditions, while they are formed by them at the same time.

And in the same way that the dream world has no beginning or end, neither does the universe with which you are familiar. No energy can be withdrawn, and this includes the energy used in the continuous subconscious construction of the dream world. [...]

For every consciousness on your plane, or any other plane, existed simultaneously and in essence even before what you may call the beginning of your world. [...]

[...] As there is no contact between the entity and the ordinary conscious ego, so there is no contact on a conscious level between the self who dreams and the dream world which has its own independent existence.

[...] If there were you see, you would indeed have a much more perfect world, but you would not have that one built-in prerequisite: complete as possible existence within all facets, and manipulation within all facets, of a given plane.

[...] Jane was especially concerned that every time she improved so far she’d regress because she’d touch upon certain hidden fears that she’d adopted as protection against the world. I added to the discussion by noting that I was deeply concerned that she’d reinforced her own self-doubts through what I said about the world myself, over the years. [...]

[...] For the “accident” saved the young man’s life, and this was our father’s final gift to the world. [...]

[...] The words are perceived consciously, but the concepts run directly counter to many usual beliefs—not just scientific ones, but to the beliefs that underlie the accepted establishment of the world.

(Also during break, I’d told her I’d found myself stewing rather often about the reception of Seth’s material by the world at large, and science in particular. [...]

[...] The child’s explorations of its environment are in a fashion quite different from its later adolescent explorations of the world. [...]

Now there are important insights in tonight’s material particularly for Ruburt, but for you also, for it is that inner feeling of contact and awareness that is so amazingly productive in the creation of art and in the creation of any physical aspects that you want to change in the physical world. [...]

[...] They will concentrate upon all of the dangers present in society in their own country, or in other portions of the world, until their own frightened overall concern for safety seems to be a quite natural, rational response to conditions over which they have no control.

[...] In many such cases, however, the people so worried about the occurrence of danger from the outside world are instead concerned about the nature of their own energy, and afraid that it might destroy them.

(4:27.) If the same kind of event occurs with any frequency, their fear of the world and of daily events may grow until it becomes quite unreasonable. [...]

[...] Learn to use the mobility of your own consciousness joyfully and follow even further into the pyramid and into, indeed, the light of consciousness and understanding, for it reaches as a pathway between those dimensions, and it is indeed a channel between those dimensions, and it is indeed a channel between your world and other worlds that also exist. [...] And if you find worlds that you do not understand, then look upon them with wonder, but send your consciousness as far as it can go with great vigor, with freedom and joy. [...]

[...] My pendulum told me often that the teeth were responding to my negative projections that the two volumes of “Unknown”weren’t going to make much of an impression in the mundane world, no matter what we said or did.

[...] You do indeed have to change all of your assumptions—and while living in a world that seems to work by different rules than yours—nor can you as yet make all of your own rules work, so to speak. [...]

[...] It will help also if once a day you mentally place your existence in Framework 2. Simply state that you do so—but the reminder will serve as excellent suggestion, and put a mental distance between you and the world’s beliefs.

Ruburt and you live in a world with its own cultural taboos, its own assumptions. [...] The idea of personhood held by the Roman Catholic Church affected the history of the world for centuries, and that idea of personhood is intimately involved, of course, with the idea of personhood’s source. [...]

[...] And to a large degree those questions would be there even if our material quite agreed with the established knowledge of your world—but it does not. It contradicts much of the world’s knowledge. [...]

[...] To Jane, going too far means that she would find herself in an unsafe position in the world. [...]

[...] The mainspring of society becomes touched by such groups now and then—but in the world of, say, the usual public encounter there are no accepted frameworks for such experiences. [...]

[...] Demands are then made by the outside world that were not made earlier. The inward work ends up causing them to relate to a physical world when they believed that their duty was to shut themselves off from that world.

[...] He would still have had to face the world, so to speak. [...]

Hearing you voice the same opinions, he becomes mad at them or at you, for he knows that those reactions of yours helped him form his fear of the world—helped, but are not responsible.

[...] To come out into the open, so to speak, with you and with the world.

Man became aware of his state of grace when he lived within the dimensions of his consciousness as it was turned toward his new world of freedom. [...]

[...] In the world of time they appear as real. [...]

[...] Their earthly reality occurs simultaneously with their inception, but in the world of time, lapses between appear to occur. [...]

[...] As your breath leaves you and becomes part of the world, free, so do your lives leave you and continue to exist in your terms. [...]

In each case, however, the point of power is the present, and from that moment you choose which you, and which world. The experience of a country is the cumulative result of the choice of each individual in it, so as you choose your own circumstances you affect each other person within your country and your world.

[...] Which world? [...]

[...] Which world? [...]

Unfortunately, it tends to set up a world view that is then based upon certain material only. You end up with separate disciplines: biology, psychology, physics, mathematics, and so forth, each with its own group of facts, jealously guarded, each providing its own world view: the world as seen through biology, or reality as seen through the eyes of physics.

[...] Science has so dominated the world of thought, however, that many nuances and areas once considered quite “rational” have become quite unrespectable. [...]
