“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] They could both exist without the world of physical matter, but the world of physical matter could not exist without them.

[...] You take for granted the existence of this largely unknown physical world. [...]

[...] In dreams you journey through inner realities as actually as you walk physically through the matter of the physical world. [...]

The physical state of your world therefore effectively mirrors the inner condition of its inhabitants. [...]

The world as you know it is mankind’s creation, and his abilities and limitations are all in evidence there. [...]

[...] You looked out at the world through the eyes of a painter—but it was more than a painter’s world you saw (a great line, as Jane said). [...]

Neither of you had much experience of a particular nature in dealing with the medical aspects of the world. [...]

[...] You had to understand to some degree what the rest of the world had to put up with. [...]

You want to create a whole new world of your own making, in your own art form, and you will not be satisfied with less. [...]

[...] The environment portion will come later, and you will sense the environment something like a mystic arrangement that a given personality throws about the world around him.

[...] The symbolisms and frameworks of religion, therefore, had to exist not only in the physical world but also in the unconscious one. [...]

[...] Many artists, poets, and musicians are Speakers, translating one world in terms of another, forming psychic structures that exist in both with great vitality — structures that may be perceived from more than one reality at once.

[...] And again, a book may sell in the millions, and still go in one mental ear and out the other while our books literally do change lives—and to that extent the world—for the better.

[...] You must also realize that I must deal with you as you think you are—that is, with both of you, and for that matter with the world at large. [...]

[...] Your regular senses perceive an outer world. The senses within the recognizable senses perceive and create an inner world … once you exist on a particular plane you must necessarily be attuned to it while blocking out many other perceptions. [...]

[...] Now I wonder why we were so secretive, but at the time it seemed much better to keep the world with all of its questions out. [...]

[...] I have consistently advised contacts with the world at large, and told you both to use your abilities to meet outside challenges. Withdrawal into dissociation as a hiding place from the world could be dangerous, and many have fallen prey here. [...]

[...] If anything, the personal advice I have given you both should add to your mental and emotional balance and result in a stronger relationship with the outside world. [...]

[...] He needs to turn away from an overconcern with life’s more ‘“weighty problems,” to lose the feeling that it is up to him to solve those problems for himself and you and for the world. [...]

[...] Not just Ruburt alone but the people of the world are, one way or another, now in the process of just such a redefinition. [...]

[...] As I told her today, and had a few days ago, it appeared that she was embarked on a long-range campaign to eliminate her communication with the rest of the world, the environment she lives in. [...]

[...] The nature of probabilities must be understood, for the time has come in the world as you experience it where the greatest wisdom and discrimination are needed. [...]

[...] To do this you must understand, again, that man must move beyond the concepts of one god, one self, one body, one world, as these ideas are currently understood.⁵ You are now poised, in your terms, upon a threshold from which the race can go many ways. [...]

(Pause at 11:58.) As I describe some of early man’s past in historic terms, I will also show how that “heritage” is alive in your daily experience with the world as you know it. [...]

[...] Ideally—but you do not live in an ideal world—this could happen overnight, and with only a feeling of release. [...]

[...] In certain terms the physical world can (underlined) be said to be opaquely perceived then, while other perceptions become clearer, but the normally conscious attention (underlined) is no longer so dominant, and even normal beliefs go into a momentary withdrawal.

The point is, that in such circumstances the person will try to use evidence from the outside world to prove that he is indeed being pursued.

The race was dealing with the creation of a new world of physical experience. [...]

(Slowly:) In a world in which individuals were confined in space in a tribe or clan (a one-minute pause), action was immediate. [...]

[...] But you know: If you think you’re on to something no one else has, you’re afraid you’ll be called batty by the rest of the world … Seth is a great organizer, though. [...]

[...] Earlier today she’d been wondering where the Cézanne material might lead her—to books on world views involving other people, she’d speculated, or something like that....)

You share Framework 1 activity with others, for that world largely surrounds you, but remember, I am speaking in analogies to make certain points, for every person’s life has its Framework-2 orientations. [...]

[...] The whole thing seems to me to be a symbolic turning point in world history, full of danger in the terms of Framework 1. To me, all the parties involved in the dispute seem helpless and frightened; it echoes similar conscious-mind threats that I think the species has created for itself throughout recorded history.)

Ideas of course are highly important, for they are a part of your interpretation of the world, of personal events, and they are a part of the symbolizing process. [...]

[...] The situation triggered many fears, about you and Ruburt being alone, your age, the age of your brothers, who would come to your aid, or Ruburt’s. If necessary, Leonard at least had a knowledge of the medical world, while you and Ruburt do not. [...]

Dreams involve a certain kind of inner motion, and in a manner of speaking, at least, exterior motions consist of dream activities also, and in a dream reality that everyone more or less agrees is a separate, objective world. [...]
