“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] He does indeed have the ability to attract money, though in the past he was not able to use this ability. [...] Your combined abilities will serve you well here, if you follow my advice.

[...] Your own abilities as a creator are extremely strong, your powers of imagery brilliant. [...]

[...] Your combined abilities can directly change your material status. [...]

[...] But I tell you that in each of these cases he was attempting to offset your negative attitude, and to use his abilities in the way he intuitively realized he could, to help matters.

[...] For example, Ruburt is doing very well in his classes, enjoys it, and closes his eyes, relatively speaking, to the improvement he has worked in the lives of his students, and to the freedoms he has allowed himself in class in using his abilities. [...]

In other words, he felt that unless he was using his abilities fully, and was spiritually, creatively and psychically perfect, he should mar his physical performance. [...]

[...] Until he used his abilities fully, he did not feel he could use his body fully, for this would be hypocritical.

Now if you please, tell him that despite any misgivings, overall he is using his abilities rather well. [...]

[...] You may request information concerning abilities for example, and hear your answer internally. You may instead feel the stirrings of memory, and experience yourself using abilities developed as a past personality. [...]

More than this however, your abilities and your challenges will appear to you in a much clearer light, and uncluttered focus. [...]

The whole exercise, or any part of it, must only be done in order to avail yourself of wisdom, so that you can use your own abilities to help yourself and others.

Now, the strong ego structure has been adopted as a necessary guard and protection to hold the abilities in check until the present personality learned to develop its abilities to a sufficient level. [...]

[...] The abilities must be used, the creative urges therefore fully utilized in all areas—the psychic, the spiritual (pause), the more earthy writing and painting, for this energy sweeps through the personality and cannot be dammed up. [...]

[...] The personality is transparent also with your nature, and learning to use those abilities which are natural to it, can indeed then rather easily learn to merge consciousness with natural phenomena.

The performance of a great athlete gives evidence of abilities inherent in the human form that are little used. [...]

You would have an individual who displayed within himself [or herself] all of those great abilities known to the race, fulfilled according to his own unique temper — the artist, mathematician, athlete, the inventor — all the extraordinary qualities of creaturedom; the emotional realities would be used to their capacity, and any of the racial qualities or characteristics of the species would be given their complete freedom.

[...] In the same way, following your own “trace” experiences and characteristics, you can discover those “probable” abilities that are yours, and uncover to some degree the nature of probable actions open to you for physical materialization.

[...] And how curious you are to use your abilities to find out what you can do with your own consciousness. [...] That you should allow yourself every ability you can to see what you can do with it. [...]

According to what we got, both the Black Thing and the helper only exist when you have the kind of personality or the kind of abilities or something that draw a lot of energy where you got it to use. [...]

[...] The inner self responds through the richness of its own psychic fabric, sending up, so to speak, ever-new particularized abilities to meet the exterior circumstances.

[...] These can be alternative courses to those who believe that there is no other way but to browbeat the ego — either through the use of chemicals or by other methods calculated to strip it of its powers at least momentarily, rather than teaching it to use those great abilities of assimilation that it does possess.

Your nature, beside possessing natural, general healing abilities, has its own unique and particular private triggers arising from your experience. [...]

[...] It will mobilize your resources and fill your body with a rush of needed hormones, creating a dream state of stress that will bring the organism’s healing abilities into combat and result in an end to particular physical symptoms.

[...] I speak now of the ego’s ability to handle itself. And psychic investigation will, and should, increase that ability if it is properly begun, and if the ego is properly related to the physical environment.

If this sounds difficult then indeed it is, because I will not deal in platitudes, and the exercise of the inner abilities demand, as a bulwark, the sometimes difficult achievement of an ego that can adapt itself in the outer environment, and so hold its own while the inner self is then freed to go its way.

Legitimate, balanced psychic journeyings will result in a beneficial effect as far as the ego and its ability to handle its concerns are involved; and whenever such journeyings or investigations result in a lessening of egotistic control over circumstance then anyone so involved should instantly ask himself questions, and abruptly halt.

[...] But its ability to relate to others on the physical plane needs strengthening, particularly since the personality is vitally concerned with psychic investigation.

[...] When, in historic terms, the race was in the process of adopting a necessary artificial separation of itself from the rest of nature; when it needed to be assured of its abilities to do so; when it took upon itself the task of a particular kind of specialization and individual focus, it needed a religion that would assure it of its abilities.

[...] As mentioned earlier (in the 684tb session), the present corporal structure of any physical body of any kind is maintained only because of the cells’ innate precognitive abilities. [...]

[...] In greater terms the race has plans for itself; only these are based on a much vaster comprehension of the probable issues, abilities, and conditions involved. [...]

While it (ego consciousness) recognized its deep oneness with the earth and all creatures, it could not at the same time develop those abilities of specialization and its own particular unique focus. [...]

[...] Your joint abilities add up to more than your joint abilities.

[...] A man uses his abilities according to the extent of this realization. [...]

[...] Without the experience his abilities would not fully develop. [...]

[...] The person whose abilities are never utilized is another example.

Now, you all have abilities and you must learn to use them. [...] Not what you have been told you are, but what you discover that you are, and in the discovery you already change and your abilities begin to expand and the limited person that you knew is already a myth. [...]

You are all having your own experiences as I said that you would, and they are following the lines of your own development and abilities. [...]

(To Dennis:) And you are indeed helping those people who speak to you, and you will be able to help them more as you develop your own abilities, and that is why you came here for you will be teaching others also. [...]

[...] Death really represents a blind spot in your present ability to perceive energy transformation, and even value fulfillment. [...] Your ability here amounts to a complete dwindling of comprehension. [...]

[...] It has what abilities it has achieved, plus the ability to draw upon other energy which it could not draw upon. [...]

[...] To deny the reality of what does not exist in space would be to deny much of mankind’s own heritage and abilities.

[...] True fifth-dimensional space, as I have said often, is to the contrary vital energy, itself alive, possessing endless abilities of transformation, forming all existences, forming even the camouflage universe with which you are familiar, and which you attempt to probe so ineffectively.

When you fulfill your own abilities, when you express your personal idealism through acting it out to the best of your ability in your daily life, then you are changing the world for the better.

[...] Sarah has abilities, and she is banking on them, developing them in a practical way. [...] Through developing those abilities personally, she will contribute to the enjoyment of others. [...]

[...] He doesn’t believe that he can change the world by beginning where he is, and yet he is afraid to count upon his own abilities by giving them a practical form of expression.

Youth is full of strength, however, so he very well may find a way to give his own abilities greater expression, and hence to increase his own sense of power. [...]

[...] This comes under a different category for you: helping Ruburt, and can be used also to release your sketching abilities. Those abilities have always been allowed greater freedom and spontaneity because they did not threaten you in terms of selling.

[...] At the same time his own abilities would be concentrated upon also. [...]

[...] Money used meant that you might have to look for work again and not be able to develop your abilities.

(Louder:) That last sentence is not beyond your abilities. [...]

(To Davey.) Now here we have a too early blooming of abilities before the overall personality was able to handle them, and we also have a great contrast in attitude for we have on one hand the determination to show up all fraud, and on the other hand, the fear underneath that our own experiences could somehow be fraudulent. [...]

Now Ruburt did not know what he was going to speak about this evening and half of his talk in class is automatic, as you know, but it was no coincidence that he became involved in his talk of power and energy for you had a deep distrust of your own energy to sway people as a salesman (to Davey) as you had a distrust of your ability to sway people as a minister (to Joel) and as you also have the same feeling (to Davey), for what happens is this. [...]

[...] Whether or not you realize it, your conception of the human race changes, for if you can mold another that easily then where are these fine abilities inherent in the race as a whole. [...]

(During break a discussion of Joel’s, Mary Ellen’s and Davey’s abilities and some felt they had not progressed very much.)

[...] (Pause.) In a definite manner of speaking, spontaneity, being apart from time while operating in time, is aware of, say, private abilities before they show themselves in time. [...]

[...] Your impulses, intuitions, and creative abilities have always innately provided open channels of communication through which man was guided toward those probable actions most beneficial to his private reality—and those actions would automatically, again, add to the best probable reality for the species as well. [...]

(9:49.) Those other characteristics, say, then, of the probable eggs and sperm, provide an infinite bed of personality characteristics and abilities that can ride to the surface if they are needed. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s spontaneity let all of his creative abilities emerge. [...]

[...] (To Diane:) so if you come to his classes there will be more than pretty tales of reincarnation for you, for you must learn to work and develop your own abilities. [...]

[...] There are abilities that you do not use, so you must learn what they are. [...]

[...] It is your responsibility to expand your awareness, to utilize these abilities...

[...] But it represents the hope of the race at this time—that you need to use these abilities...

The natural person uses creative abilities spontaneously, and those abilities, as I have said often, will show themselves both in the area of Prentice and in the area of Ruburt’s physical condition when you allow them play and leeway. [...]

The natural person (number one) looks at the world and tries to see how his or her abilities can best be utilized and fulfilled. [...]

[...] Give us a moment … In the life that you know, as given in Personal Reality, your beliefs act to specify the particular probable events that will become “real.”¹⁰ Because you are a probable self, an understanding of your own nature will show you some of the abilities, not used here, but present, that you can indeed choose to actualize. You can draw then from your own bank of probable abilities, for there will be traces of them in you. [...] When you develop abilities in one system, to some extent they are easier to develop in another. (To me:) In deciding to do some writing (for the Seth books, as an example), you are also drawing upon abilities that you have worked on in another system, and through your intent you are to a certain extent blending probabilities.¹¹

[...] “I knew what I was saying when I said it, but I’ve forgotten it all now …” She paused, then continued in a way I thought somewhat unusual for her: “We’re doing the best we can with what abilities we’ve got. [...]

[...] It would be very large when compared to Seth’s basic unit of consciousness, but because an electron can “move” from the orbit of one nucleus to that of another without traversing the space between, the electron can still furnish a crude analogy to the ability of those units of consciousness to “appear in several places at once, and without going through space.”

[...] It can hardly be coincidental that Jane and I are using our individual writing abilities as the cohesive — the “glue” — to unite our respective sets of probable selves.

[...] Perhaps he feels that it isn’t needed at this time, that it’s simply better to just let Jane’s natural healing abilities do their work, now that that “corner in probabilities” has been turned.... [...]

(10:39.) Now: when you work through such an episode as this weekend’s bout, then you gain an individual but also joint confidence in your ability to do so—a very important point, a very intimate and vital way of dealing with your joint reactions. [...]

[...] Encourage thoughts or daydreams that have to do with the simple enjoyment of life, and of your abilities. [...]
