“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Her dentist was so puzzled by her exceptionally good reactions that in the middle of the session Jane had to explain her apparent insensitivity to pain; usually it takes two trips for her to achieve the same results, with the use of Novocain. [...]

(Jane said she thinks her practice with psychological time experiments had much to do with the ease with which she put herself into a good state, since she achieved it in about five minutes. [...]

We find here a situation this morning in which Ruburt achieved excellent communication with his own personal subconscious, spoke with it, giving it credit for being as important to the whole personality as the ego.

[...] It was because of this approach, among other things, that the results achieved were so successful. [...]

[...] Otherwise you will feel disillusioned, or powerless, or sure, again, that only drastic, highly unideal methods will ever bring about the achievement of a given ideal state or situation.

[...] You will find far greater power, achievement, and virtue than you suppose.

[...] You can do this by seeing to it that each step you personally take is “ideally suited” to the ends you hope to achieve. [...]

[...] My own long-range goal in working with the Seth books is one that I’ve found very difficult to achieve: I want to catch up on the backlog of work involved with the books so that I can devote most of my efforts to whatever the current Seth book is — while Seth is still producing it. [...]

The end can be achieved in either manner. [...]

[...] No, no creativity arises from an evenness of pressure, but in constantly changing, new instabilities, ever seeking to achieve a balance.

Usually we have little difficulty in achieving a deeper state in compensation. [...]

[...] That is, they may be at various stages of evolutionary development but they are on an only fair level of achievement. [...]

[...] On the other hand it may also be less than trustworthy at times, simply because their achievement level is not high. [...]

[...] Dissociation, and I will give you many ways of achieving it, unclogs the tool and is absolutely necessary. [...]

[...] At the time Ruburt felt intuitively the importance of dissociation but didn’t know how to achieve it.

[...] You have glorified what orgasm is—the unattainable, and therefore, the symbol of all the other qualities you want to achieve or think you should achieve, but do not have. [...] Always beginning with the idea that the orgasm for you is impossible to achieve. [...]

[...] You have it in your mind that you must be spontaneous, that you must let yourself go, and as you also know, spontaneity is not achieved in that manner. [...]

[...] You do not know precisely in a conscious manner how to achieve this state when you are working. [...]

[...] A somewhat similar loss of the props can also be achieved by partial immersion in an idea with which you are already familiar, as a stepping stone; and this is really what contemplation is.

[...] Any purposes you would like to achieve should be mentioned to the subconscious before such periods of sensuous immersion or contemplation, and then forgotten on a conscious level.

[...] Any talent or achievement should be noted as honestly as you recorded the most minute “defects” earlier.

There is no human being alive who does not have creative abilities in his or her own way, achievements and excellent characteristics, so if you follow these instructions you will find out that you are indeed a worthy individual.

[...] What difference does it make if I have a few mundane achievements that are shared by many others, that are in no way unique? [...]

[...] This simply provides a workable focus in which achievement and experience can happen.

(9:27.) In simple terms, you will not try to achieve something that you believe impossible within your concepts of reality. [...]

In other terms, however — social terms — you have yet to achieve the same kind of spiritual brotherhood possessed by your cells; and so you do not understand that the experience of your world is intimately connected with your own private experience. [...]

[...] Despite the perhaps deplorable conditions being televised—whether of wars, massacres, graft, or whatever—the great inventiveness of man’s mind is responsible for that technological achievement. And it is an achievement of great import, for the world can no longer hide one portion of itself from another.

[...] In fact, I think his material and insights into the species’ behavior is the only sensible body of material on the subject that can stand questioning and understanding—no small achievement, as I often remind Jane. [...]

“You can best achieve some approximation of an idea by using Psychological Time [as a preliminary]. [...]

[...] And the idea is, quite simply, to reward him for achievement.

This can involve anything, and can start out at levels of achievement he knows he can reach, while gradually trying other levels. [...]

[...] There were achievements and joys along the way, and these should not be forgotten or minimized. [...] Ruburt believed that they were only achieved by neglecting the body. [...]

[...] Even in those limited terms you see he realized that his achievements and production are in his terms now sufficient; but he must move out of those limiting ideas, and he is.

He realizes well now that money is not all that important, yet the old beliefs were so entangled that he had to prove to himself that it was not so important after he achieved it. Otherwise he would always tell himself that he believed money basically unimportant because he was not able to achieve it.

[...] What he had achieved as a writer and as a psychic has been achieved despite his methods—not because of them.

[...] Man’s fears of not achieving brotherhood, of not achieving a secure state of consciousness, or a workable morality, result in his dreams of destruction, however they are expressed. [...]

There was a tie-in, and it’s that the Christ drama happened as a result of man’s dream, at least, of achieving brotherhood — a quiet, secure sense of consciousness, and a morality that would sustain him in the physical world.

[...] Growth and challenge is provided not in terms of achievement or development in time, but instead in terms of intensities. [...]

[...] Pretend then that you possessed within yourself the knowledge, the sight, of all the world’s masterpieces in sculpture and art, that they throbbed and pulsed as realities within you, but that you had no physical apparatus, no knowledge of how to achieve it; that there was neither rock, nor pigment, nor source of any of these, and you ached with the yearning to produce them—and this, on an infinitesimally small scale, will perhaps give you, as an artist, some idea of the agony and the impetus that was felt.

[...] It was by my estimate Jane’s deepest trance yet achieved. [...]

[...] Children often know quite well the reasons for some of their illnesses, for often they learn from their parents that illness can be used as a means to achieve a desired result.

[...] So if the parents begin such questioning and reassurance when the child is young, then the youngster will learn that while illness may be used to attain a desired result, there are far better, healthier ways of achieving an end result.

This is all you have achieved so far in that regard.

[...] She is not certain of her own merit, and achieves her self-approval through your auspices.

[...] That focus has prevented you each from seeing what you have, from using it fully in all areas, and from recognizing your achievements, creatively, financially, and otherwise.

[...] They are achievements that arise out of a given situation, often even while in your terms the given problem may not seem solved.

[...] Freedoms achieved appear there, particularly when you are not having regular sessions. [...]

[...] The sessions and their attendant results provide, literally, a multidimensional purpose that allows for your own gestalt individual achievements.

(“An achievement and a scarcity.” [...] Achievement being a general reference to her ESP book, and scarcity being a more specific connection in that Jane offers her own small collection of ESP ads to F. Fell’s office for use as a guide in writing copy. [...]

An achievement and a scarcity. [...]

A willingness to achieve. [...]
