“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Christendom may well have perished along with the rest of the world, but this possibility would not have been considered, so narrow and evilly self-righteous were the governing powers at the time. [...]

This does not mean that he could not destroy the world that he knew. [...]

[...] When that nature is trusted, there are no interior impediments or conflicts, even though the individual may feel himself to be in conflict with certain elements in the world at large.

[...] This of course meant, as we said, that she needn’t go about any longer pretending to be like the normal housewife next door, or whatever inanity—since nothing could be further from the truth: She is not like the normal housewife next door, should not want to be, should not be in alarm at their criticism, and should thank God for whatever abilities she has of her own that do inevitably make her different, superior, talented, etc., with something unique to offer the world—an opportunity few possess, and that should be used with the greatest joy and abandon. [...]

Your physical reality does also exist in the media of sound, not as the end product of the world’s noises. [...] The world is built up in other terms of atoms and molecules.

[...] These fields of probabilities are action sources for your reality; but your world-action is also a source for these other probabilities.

[...] As your intimate daily reality can be involved with and colored by probabilities, brought into your experience by your own desires and beliefs, so is your mass culture, world history, and species orientation colored by probable events that do not fit into your officially recognized idea of physical reality.

[...] As mentioned, love incites the desire to know, explore, and communicate with the beloved; so language began as man tried to express his love for the natural world.

[...] Yet the grandeur of the emotions was allowed full sway, and the seasons of the earth and the world were jointly felt.

There were two worlds to him instead of one, and he would not apply his intuitions to physical life directly. [...]

[...] Jane said that during break she was in a rather “half and half” world —half in trance, half not. [...]

[...] If there is to be any hope of world communication, then each of you must understand where your potentials are as individual subjective creatures.

[...]

[...]

[...] Your attitudes toward the outside world have certainly improved. [...]

[...] Your camouflage and your world is created by conscious focusing and unconscious concentration. [...]

[...] I am attempting to build up your outer personalities in their dealings with the outside world, while at the same time teaching the inner self spontaneity and freedom. [...]

If scientists think that the inner world is a murky maze of intimate chaos, let them see what happens when they attempt space travel; that is, journeys through a camouflage nonexistent space to begin with, with a camouflage vehicle. [...]

[...] At 9:26 she asked me to turn off the TV set: I’d had it on to watch the World Series, without sound, glancing at it once in a while from my place at the card table. [...]

[...] When the flood came, however, Ruburt and Joseph found themselves, in that way at least, prepared to go without help from the outside world if necessary.

In other terms the flood waters became the waters of time, and of the passage of the phenomenal world.

(Pause.) Many great contrasts of a social nature have the same kind of inner meaning; here whole groups of individuals chose particular life situations in which, for example, poverty and illness predominate, while other areas of the world (or of any given nation) enjoy the highest technological advances, wealth and prosperity. [...]

[...] These attributes were pursued at the expense of others for individual reasons and those en masse. The rest of the world agreed to such actions, however, and various portions of it took entirely different courses, so that in your experience global society would show a kaleidoscope of varying focuses and their results.

When our material began to deal directly with the world, then, Ruburt’s questioning intensified. [...]

[...] To some extent trying to help the world is a larger, expanded attempt to address such situations. [...]

(I hardly expected this, since my own inner world is often in turmoil.)

[...] Your freedom as an artist will come precisely when you free yourself from identifying exclusively with that image in your relationship with yourself and the world. [...]

[...] Very briefly let us review a few points: You form physical matter and the physical world that you know. The physical senses actually can be said to create the physical world, in that they force you to perceive an available field of energy in physical terms, and impose a highly specialized pattern upon this field of reality. [...]

When the psychic development began, Ruburt was triumphant, for his abilities were flowering, and intuitively he sensed that direction, but the part of him that also dealt with the world was somewhat appalled, for again, such behavior was not conventional, and it was not particularly “the way to make friends and influence people.”

[...] He never consciously asked himself why he did something for which there was so little practical reward in the childish world. [...]

[...] The change in inner attitude, on your part particularly, toward the outside world, has in turn created a different sort of outside world, and a more beneficial one than you knew earlier.

[...] It happens that at the same moment you both strongly wished for the door to open; and with the abilities that you are developing, you brought psychic mass force, which is valid mass force, even in your physical world, against the door and opened it.

You have nothing to fear financially as far as Ruburt’s position at the gallery; his outside condition in the world will improve; again, because of inner expectation. [...]

[...] I had intended to show you the way in which these Marks would be multiplied, and the manner in which physical worlds multiply indefinitely, and seemingly without end.

[...] And how you will protest that the elder generation has ruined the world. [...]

You realize that when I tell you this that two generations from now, your world will still exist. [...]

[...] And you within the body create the world that you know. [...]

[...] As the personality on your plane actually changes, expands and grows according to its potentialities, as it presents at various times varied images to the world, such as—if you’ll excuse me for using clichés—a smiling face, a sorrowful face, but is still basically the same personality, so on another level does the entity present at various times a varied appearance and speak in a different voice. [...]

[...] It was always a realm of the possible world, and the tragic circumstances culminated in much the same manner as Jane related in her Idea Construction.

[...] It is as though one of the wild images of a nightmare emerged with full physical power into the world of the day.

[...] In this case specifically, I am speaking of other physical probabilities — alternates, in other words, of the world as you know it. [...]

The vast unexplainable difference that exists as far as the flowers are concerned is something else again — for on that scale the flowers that you pick are utterly themselves in their own world, from which to a certain extent you have taken them.

[...] Each child born alters the entire universe,⁷ and changes the world of its time and birth by bringing into it action not there earlier, in your terms, and by impressing the universe with the stamp — the indelible stamp — of its reality. [...]
