“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(She added that her situation this evening was like the one mentioned by her in the material presented in Appendix 5. She was open to my suggestions: If I prompted her, she could go right into a session and get the information. [...]

[...] I hadn’t suggested that Seth come through, so we could see what she’d produce otherwise. [...]

Walking, exercise, suggestion to be continued. [...]

[...] There was a reason why there was no session last evening, and if you listen to the conversation, and if you understand the nature of suggestion as thoroughly as you should and must, then you will understand the reason. [...]

[...] Several members of class remarked Edgar and Maria might be giving their patients negative suggestions. [...]

You are in a trance state now, and you have all hypnotized yourselves into believing that this is the only reality and your constant suggestions continue the emotion, and that is the basis of your physical reality. [...]

Later work has convinced me that psychic phenomena do not simply appear because we want them to, or as the result of suggestion alone. [...] I’ve also known incidents since, when groups of highly suggestible people with little critical sense have gathered in dark rooms expecting all kinds of apparitions—and nothing happened at all.

[...] Bill dropped by on the evening of January 2, 1964, and on the spur of the moment I suggested that the three of us give it a try.

[...] We argued back and forth as to whether or not suggestion could have been responsible, but we knew that this could not explain half of what happened. [...]

I suggest a short break and I will continue, though very briefly.

[...] All windows in the house should be, as Ruburt suggested, opened; let the hilltop air blow through. [...]

I would strongly suggest a garden, in which both of you work. [...]

[...] I suggest you take your break before you break me up.

I suggest a brief break. [...]

The dream analogy is also very helpful here, and I suggest that you read it carefully.

[...] Felt much better today, mentally and physically—roused, enthusiastic—followed Seth’s suggestions as far as I recalled them from last night and with I admit, results. [...]

[...] I now suggest no more than five minutes a day of deep breathing, simply from here (stomach), to be added. [...]

Your suggestions help both of you. [...]

I suggest your break.

I suggest your break.

I would suggest that this session and the last session be read over most carefully. [...]

[...] I suggest therefore that you hold six weeks of sessions as always at your regular time, then feel free to miss a week with my blessing and your own, and then begin another six-week schedule.

[...] But all in all the regularity should be maintained, and the suggestion I have given will allow both schedule and freedom from schedule. [...]

[...] Remember my suggestion given earlier, and positively enjoy a week’s vacation after six weeks of session.

[...] Jane said no conscious suggestions, that she was aware of, had been involved today or this evening. [...]

I suggest however that you continue your own prayer periods, as you have been doing them. [...]

[...] When he feels his full enthusiasm bubbling up in his work he will not need to give himself suggestions that he will feel well in the morning.

[...] Once more I wrote the good doctor, suggesting that he not spare my feelings in case the data was just wrong. [...] Again he wrote of his continuing interest and suggested we keep on. [...]

“One of the attractions of your portrait of me is that it automatically suggests an unseen audience to whom I appear to be speaking. [...] The figure manages to suggest the universe of men and the world that holds them, yet nowhere do these appear.

Here are a few excerpts from that session: “In a portrait,” Seth said, “do the same exercise as given earlier: [that is], imagine the individual as the center of all life, so that when the painting is completed, it automatically suggests the whole universe of which the individual is part. [...]

[...] On the other hand, it was also triggered by Ruburt’s suggestions, when he playfully (musically almost) imagined himself telling you of significant improvements, without wondering what they would be. [...]

[...] I told Jane, also, that yesterday she had referred to a looser feeling inside her left elbow, a greater softness, so Seth was right: these particular improvements had been in the works, yet triggered by Jane’s suggestions. [...]

Any therapist can also follow through by making such suggestions, thus gaining the client’s cooperation at the same time by letting the individual choose the time period for which such a decision will be delayed.

All of the suggestions given here will also help in lesser situations, in ordinary bouts of worry, stress, or poor health. [...]

[...] I suggest that you learn the sounds and say them to yourselves all alone. [...] They may or may not sound like you to you, but I suggest that you pay attention to them and that you use them. [...]

I suggest that you take your first break.

I suggest that you take your break.

I suggest because of the importance of the material that you take a break.

[...] Eyes felt softer, etc., Then we went to take Billy to the vet’s; on the way my eyes did funny things; odd sensations involving balance I think—both of these in the car; I asked for help from “divine parent of my being,” and repeated the suggestions Seth gave me; trying not to be worried. [...]

[...] It was because of distrust of this spontaneous self that he accepted your suggestions so readily and without argument. [...]

(“How about the cod liver oil suggestion?” [by the chiropractor.])

[...] The fear of spontaneity is what made him so passive in following suggestions of yours, to which he did not agree.

[...] She suggested we go to the emergency room for blood tests, and we agreed. [...]

[...] We could tell she was enamored of her work and very sincere in all of her suggestions. [...]

[...] I suggested to Jane that she cut her cigarette consumption in half, but she refused, even if this would be a form of natural therapy.

[...] The suggestions should also be retained. [...] The “as if” game will increase the suggestions’ worth by dissipating habitual areas of thought that combat them.

[...] We will give you some suggestions on this when I am finished.

The mistrust of mobility, or fear that it could be taken away, was built up also, with other reasons given in the sessions, simply through the suggestion over the years of living with someone who was not mobile. [...]
