“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It made his position clear to him in the world’s eyes, he thought. [...]

Now I want you to open your eyes and look about, to say those words that are on your lips, to unite with strong emotion and in most real and valid terms, in tears or in laughter, even in anger, in all those fresh, lively emotions that have their counterparts in many worlds. [...]

[...] In a manner of speaking, your slightest thought gives birth to worlds.

[...] I doubt it, but even then I’d rather spend my life in the quest for meaning, the search for learning, rather than ignore the messages and signals that have appeared within our world. [...]

[...] And I don’t believe that our world, like the watch, is simply a discard from another greater reality, though certainly it is a part of one.

[...] Yet the world is so smooth and unseamed when you’re in the body and focused there.

[...] “They show that you’re not ensconced on high, telling everyone else what to do through Seth, telling them how to handle all of their problems while you live a life of wealth, talent, and happiness, free of all worldly cares and responsibilities,” I added. [...]

(Long pause.) Your purposes meant that you required a certain amount of isolation from the world—so any handicap that was accepted would also be one that fit into those other purposes. [...]

[...] You are also afraid to move, and both of you are wary of fitting yourselves into a new environment, and in a small but significant way, of making a new personal world.

It is composed of a conglomeration of quite conscious but unexamined, or rather unassembled, beliefs about yourselves, some quite contradictory, and your “place” in the world.

The expansions of consciousness on Ruburt’s part did involve some natural feelings of disorientation with his body and the world, that all in all were handled supremely well.

[...] It is almost (underlined), at least symbolically, as if Ruburt were born at age 36 into a world with new rules, to which he had then to acclimate himself.

[...] This represents the concept that these ideas will be so given that they become the springs which will bring new nourishment to an arid world psyche.

[...] Other worlds would quake with the psychic reflections.

[...] Your senses, and again this is to bring John-Philip up to date, your senses are perceptors of a camouflage physical world which is created by the inner self through the use of mental enzymes in a pattern set by the mental genes.

[...] It does mean that even your science is discovering the existence of the inside world, which it will be unable to deny much longer.

I am not speaking of some romanticized, “passive,” floppy, spiritual world, but of a clear reality without impediments, in which the opposite of despair and apathy reigns.

[...] The world of thought and feeling may be invisible, and yet it activates all physical systems with which you are acquainted.

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

[...] It is also true, however, that advantageous events occur with a far greater frequency than do negative ones — otherwise the world that you know simply would not exist. [...]

[...] The implications took my breath away, and I became depressed with thoughts that I didn’t see how she was ever going to make it, ever going to break that cycle of fearful response to the world and her place in it, her fear of being attacked, of life itself. [...]

[...] You have a deep distrust of moving, because of your parents’ stationary background, and because of your father’s distrust and fear of the outside world.

In your terms he eternally weaves himself within the fabric of your time and space, born again and again into the world of flesh, being a part of it while also independent of it, even as you are all a part of it but independent of it.

[...] There is in the physical world an illusion of continuity, against which sense data can be checked. [...]

It represented, the illness, the last of a rather long-term and somewhat exaggerated distaste for your position in the world financially, that began when you left the field of comics.

[...] One, resentment against the world in general, hence you listened to the news and picked out purposely the most blatant of your fellow mans’ transgressions, deriving from them perverse pleasure.

[...] In the same way your joint ideas about your work and the world in general were taken and put into literal action by our friend.

[...] You both considered the world in many respects as distracting, stupid, its people beneath your notice, and your work the only thing of importance. [...]

[...] Every so often Jane and I remind ourselves of just how much of a change there has been for each of us; this helps us relate our individual worlds to those of others. [...]

[...] Those few blocks largely made up my childhood world.

[...] I had repaid her during my three years of military service during World War II.

[...] In many cases people forget (long pause) their native, natural method of seeing themselves and the world, and turn outward to the stylized version—and in so doing they lose sight of vital portions of their own identities. [...]
