“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(9:35.) However, there is no great reason for the vast separation that now exists between your waking and sleeping lives. As I mentioned earlier (in the 652nd session in Chapter Thirteen, for instance), the division is largely the result of your mass and private beliefs in the nature of reality, and in the habits the race has acquired of separating “objective” data from subjective.

When you are determined to manipulate your environment, then you separate yourself from it. Since you are part of it, this also leads you to try to place yourself apart from your own subjective reality. It is quite possible to take your normally conscious “I” into the dream state, to your advantage. When you do this you will see that the dreaming “I” and the waking “I” are one, but operating in entirely different environments. Therefore, you become familiar with depths of experience and knowledge unknown to you before. You acquire a true flexibility and expanded awareness of your own being, and open channels of communication between your waking and dreaming realities. This means that you are far better able to utilize unconscious knowledge, and also to acquaint the unconscious with your present physical situation.

[...] The entire idea involves a process in which you try and not try at the same time, in which you do not strain to achieve results, but instead gently begin to allow yourself to follow the contours of your own subjective feelings, to uncover those spiritual and biologically valid beliefs of early childhood, and to bring to them the very best wisdom that you have acquired throughout your life so far.

[...] We are actually involved in changing a way of life, in altering our very view of the self and the world in the hopes of acquiring a new sense of harmony with our bodies, our minds, our fellow creatures, and the environment.

At that time you acquire the language of your people, and you learn to use mental concepts in a rather specialized way, and to further designate objects more specifically. [...]

[...] Of course, instead it is the other way around: his thoughts are creative and exuberant—naturally—when he leaves himself alone, and the troublesome thoughts that seem so natural now are the results of acquired mental patterns as he began to distrust his own nature, as given many times.

[...] Her voice had acquired a strong edge and had been fairly loud. Concerning her accent, which I have called a brogue, Lorraine and Bill Gallagher said they thought of it as a cultivated, well-educated accent acquired perhaps by one who had spent some time in Ireland, for instance, then moved on to live in another country—England, for instance.

[...] Her voice had again acquired a touch of that peculiar accent, or brogue as I call it. [...]

This resulted in an active resentment against such symbols, which actually prevented you from acquiring them. [...]

I am trying to tell you that you have concentrated as strongly at times in a negative manner on success symbols (pause), as others might in a positive manner to acquire them. [...]

[...] You acquired it through the use of your senses. [...]

Dictation: You may then, again, unknowingly acquire an illness and recover, never aware of your malady, being healed because of a series of events that would seemingly have nothing to do with the illness itself — because in Framework 2 the inner ego, knowing both the reason for the illness, and its cure, brought about those precise situations that remedied the condition. [...]

[...] Bantam and Pocket Books were interested in acquiring the first Seven. Today Tam notified Jane that Pocket Books had won the bidding—acquiring the rights to the three Sevens for $75,000.)

[...] That placement is acquired. [...]

Focusing the senses in time and space is to some extent an acquired art, then — one that is of course necessary for precise physical manipulation. [...]

[...] You will find that there are peaks of relatively high achievement, and as you acquire practice the peaks will not be so separated and results will be more predictable.

[...] However, we’ve been extremely pleased to see that in the last couple of days her legs have acquired a good deal more movement at the knees: her toes spanned a distance from front to back of a good six inches as she swung her legs back and forth. [...]

[...] And there you acquire friends, alliances, and counterparts.

[...] It’s at once absurdly simple and hidden—until you acquire certain new habits. [...]

These letters are written in an original native language that has little to do with the acquired language that has been picked up in any given country. [...]

[...] Jane thinks it possible it took us about 14 weeks to acquire the set of dishes of which the salt and pepper shakers are a part.

(We acquired the dishes through trading at a certain supermarket and obtaining so many pieces weekly, through coupons. [...]

[...] A month later he offered more insights on his own reality — the kind of information we’re always interested in acquiring (as I wrote in Note 7 for the 733rd session). [...]

[...] Not only that: I must note that even several years later we’ve still acquired no Seth material at all on such possible counterpart and family-of-consciousness roles. [...]

[...] She did not want to acquire this habit. [...]

[...] We’re in the early stages of an extensive scientific growth involving genetics, and certainly by the time this book is published much more information will have been acquired, even if it’s of the same general kind. [...]

[...] (Jean Baptiste de Monet de Lamarck [1744–1829] was a French naturalist who advocated that certain modifications of an organism’s structure and function could develop in response to environmental factors, and that these “acquired characters” could be inherited. [...]

In March 1975 Jane and I purchased the hill house just outside Elmira, and within a few weeks David acquired his own place not far from us in the valley below. [...]

[...] It is not simply that science denies the validity of emotional experience, but that it has believed so firmly that knowledge can only be acquired from the outside, from observing the exterior of nature.

[...] Yet AIDS can be acquired by those who are not homosexuals, but who have similar problems. [...]

(My own activities, then, have aroused in Jane the urge to try the same approach, and I’ve suggested she think of her own women numbers 1 and 2. It seems that she confronts the same basic challenges I do, I told her, so she could delineate the two opposing portions of her personality well enough to understand that many of her cultural beliefs have been imposed upon her natural, spontaneous, free, creative self, and to such an extent that the acquired beliefs have turned into detriments rather than aids, that she envisioned as helping her obtain what she wants in life.
