“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The world is not to be trusted, and their experience proves it. Others dwell in a world that is filled with all kinds of abundance. Both worlds are real, both are created by those who experience them. [...]

[...] When you, now, Joseph, find yourself enraged, or even just upset, about world conditions or the behavior of your fellow men, certainly admit your feelings and express them. [...]

You direct, not only your own individual energy, but en masse, the energy of the world that you know. In your dreams you try out probable solutions to world problems. [...]

[...] Until you learn to manipulate the world that you know, and constructively and creatively, you will not be able to manipulate the inner realities in which you already live but instead will be swept merely within them. [...]

[...] And what makes the world go round, and why is it that this darkness in which I am enclosed will soon open, and I can shoot like a rocket toward the sun?” But they know their acquiescence and their affirmation, and so listen to your own for it speaks in a silent voice, and yet it speaks in terms of energy that only here is translated into sound. [...]

[...] The ordinary person, for example, in the western world cannot relate to a Darwinian past in that same fashion, and psychology robs him of any personal extension in the future after death, so in practical life most modern people have freedom of extension in space but less in time. [...]

[...] The people compared themselves to the rest of the world at times, and many of the young were beginning to leave, but those villages were, again, very like those in the times of Nebene and the Roman soldier. [...]

[...] There are many reasons, but mainly the relationship between the village people and the rest of the world had strained too far, stretched too far. [...]

[...] I’d need protection, some distance from the world.... [...]

[...] You believed that together you could achieve what had not been achieved earlier—that you could somehow or other offer meaningful and real solutions to the world’s problems.

You could not be consciously aware of those other realities all of the time, and deal with the world that you know. [...]

[...] What I hope to say is that your world exists in different terms than those you recognize, and that reincarnation is indeed a myth and a story that stands for something else entirely.

Each of you takes part in your world — and in your time as you understand it, and in your terms, all the creatures of the earth participate in the century. [...]

[...] It does not particularly help that young man when our Florence piles on weight because she then feels less vulnerable, and more protected from her world.

[...] It represents the world, outside influences. [...] But in your contacts on the phone, as with your contacts with the world, that is considered Ruburt’s area, his thing. [...]

And when you sleep you are in accelerated periods of creativity and concentration, making with thoughts and images the world you know, forming from inner experience the physical story that will unfold, the events that you will encounter physically.

[...] Your world is like a thought form in my experience. [...]

Originally, psychological time allowed man to live in the inner and outer worlds with relative ease … and man felt much closer to his environment. [...]

[...] Like many others, you feared the inner world so strongly, even though you were somewhat acquainted with it through your art, that nothing but panic would force you to try that invisible knob. [...]

[...] This was a projection of your inability and should not be taken as any condition of helplessness existing in the inner world, as I am afraid you interpreted the image.

It is a natural connective to the inner world. [...]

[...] Actually, then, we seek to wed the old environment with the new, using the psyche as a bridge between the two worlds. [...] “That means the world we had there can’t ever be entered by anyone else.”

(In that big, intriguing house her whole psychic world — and mine — had begun to open up late in 1963; various aspects of that becoming are detailed in her different books. [...]

There is something highly important here concerning your technological civilization: As your world becomes more complicated, in those terms, you increase the number of probable actions practically available. [...]

[...] As the origin of your world did indeed emerge from the “world of dreams,” so the true root of all events lie in such subjective activities, and the answers to individual challenges and problems [...]

This afternoon we had a long discussion about the conflicts we often feel between our natural desires for creative privacy and the fact that our works go out into the world. [...]

[...] (Pause.) On the other hand, some leaders may give little consideration to such issues, but still be deeply convinced of the misery of the human condition, focusing upon all the “darker” elements, seeing the world’s destruction ever closer to hand without really examining the beliefs that arouse such constant feelings.

They may find it easy to cluck their tongues at obvious fanatics who cry out for God’s vengeance, and speak about the world’s end in brimstone and ashes. [...]

The people alive within the world come into it with their own problems and challenges, and this will have much to do with the kind of national and worldwide beliefs that are generated and that dominate. [...]

(9:20.) In the world of official thought, work does indeed seem to imply responsibility. [...]

This artistic sense of responsibility was given a thicker coat by what seemed to be psychic responsibility: it seemed to Ruburt that he should use his abilities primarily to help others, or to help solve the world’s problems, or to cast some light into man’s condition. [...]

[...] High play of that nature opens doors of excellence that responsibility alone can never touch, and results in far more valuable help to the world as a natural by-product than any self-determined behavior can, so these are the ideas that we want to stress, both in bodily terms and in psychic and creative ones, and Ruburt is beginning to understand some of that now. [...]

When that flow is relatively unimpeded then he is naturally attracted to subjective activity and to performance in the natural world as well. [...]

[...] There were reasons then not (underlined) to go out into the world: it was dangerous, and so forth. [...]

[...] The poetry adds to the world simply by its being. [...]

[...] The natural person is of course the natural dreamer, and it is for that reason all the more unfortunate that psychology managed to divorce the world of dreaming from natural healthy psychology. [...]

In other words, the psychic development is a part of his natural growth (long pause), a reaffirmation and restructuring of inner information that in one fashion or another was always available to him, but needed to find a conscious format, a conscious expression, a way to pierce the seemingly opaque habits of knowledge of the cultural world. [...]

[...] The early vivid feeling for reincarnation, when he knew Roberts was not his proper name (as a youngster); the episode when he watched grade school children as no more than a toddler himself, and knew he had gone to school before; the flying out-of-body dreams; and the sense of identification with nature, and particularly with the night—those feelings waited for their vindication, for they did not fit into the world as he was told then. [...]

Then he feels that he is in at best an ambiguous position, for the world continues doing as it will, and his correspondents, solving one problem, immediately write with another. [...]

[...] They inclined him further to think in terms of his life’s work as a highly serious, no-nonsense endeavor, a body of work to be set against the world’s other great works.

[...] In that kind of a climate, both inner and outer worlds to some extent must be protected against. [...]

[...] I must let the rest of the world go its own way. [...] This all means, obviously, that we do need help from others—whether they be lawyers, doctors, nurses, publishers, or whatever, and this way we stay in contact with the rest of our world. [...]

“Your world is formed in faithful replica of your own thoughts. [...] The world in which your parents live existed first in thought. It existed once in the stuff of dreams, and they spawned their universe from this, and from this they made their world.

[...] If you realized thoroughly that your physical world was an illusion, you would not be experiencing sense data.”

[...] If you do not like your world, then examine your own expectations. [...]

[...] I change and make my world. [...]

At that level environment, creatures, and the elements of the natural world are all united—a point we will return to quite often. [...]

[...] The body consciousness is therefore given a superb sense of its own reality, a sureness of identity, a sense of innate safety and security, that allows it to not only function but to grow in the physical world. [...]

All That Is, therefore, is immersed within your world, present in each hypothetical point, and forms the very fabric from which each portion of matter is created.

[...] Some of you find a joyful world, and some of you are pursued by evil. [...]

[...] And that kind of development is growing now in groups like this throughout the world. [...]

[...] And that ancient knowledge is dependent upon what was done here, and in some few other groups, and in what is being done in the dream state throughout the world. [...]
