“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Therefore they seek to assure themselves that they are indeed powerful through antisocial acts, often of violence.

[...] In very ancient times, medicine men had to perform such acts as part of their initiation ceremonies. [...]

[...] He is simply acting according to another belief, but he is being true to his nature, which in this case led him to the desire for such an achievement. [...]

[...] As the joy of life is reflected in all of your acts, affecting your work, bodies, environment and the people you meet, so your problems are also faithfully reflected in all of these areas.

Sitting down at the desk to write poetry, the act and intention automatically reminds Ruburt of all the times that he has written poetry before, and primes the pump, so to speak. [...]

[...] There is no conflict between your desires, beliefs, and the execution of the act, so the action itself flows smoothly. If for some reason or another, through a poor assessment of your reality, you believe that such an act is dangerous, then you will hamper the flow between the desire and the execution. [...]

Sometimes there is a cleavage, so to speak, where the body, prepared to act in the old way, begins to change its performance. [...]

[...] Instead, you see, all your acts now affect all of your other reincarnational selves both, in your terms, past and present. [...]

In one way or another, therefore, it certainly seems that your body possesses a kind of quite pragmatic information, and acts upon it. [...]

The body is geared then to act. [...]

[...] Though consciously you were not afraid, there was a biologically pertinent fear that was acted upon.

[...] Now you are actively acting as a trusted party, working for the release of the portion held in relative captivity, and your assurances at this point can be extremely important. [...]

[...] At the same time she’d acted very uncomfortable, often sitting ramrod straight as she spoke for Seth; however, she didn’t remember any of that behavior now. [...]

[...] The man thinks he is acting in response to demands put upon him by his superiors.

[...] Peg says that H [the man] does believe he is acting in response to his superiors. [...]

The body wants to move, to act, to perform, and Ruburt needs some physical sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. [...]

[...] These issues and processes then act as excellent feedback, and reverse the negative habits that before operated.

(One of the obvious reasons, I thought, was that the portions of the personality that were acting up became so powerful that they prevented or subverted a simple thing like asking for help to deal with a problem or challenge. [...]

Even then, however, the enjoyment of the act—in that case playing the piano—is paramount. [...]

He writes because he wants to create a unique world, one in which during the act of creation as a creator he is in charge, and yet while he is in charge he is in contact with a certain magic of creativity that gives him experience with greater realms of being. [...]

[...] The mother now could no longer be violent in act. [...]

[...] As any child does, the child at times wished for the parent’s death, and here we see the mother acting out her own death in order to punish the child.

[...] When the death was not acted out in drama form—this you are familiar with, we shall not go into it here—then instead the mother pretended to have an attack of one kind or another, and she told the child that the child was directly responsible.

Excess of chemicals within the body are drained off by the subconscious through its ability to act as a channel between fields of actuality. [...]

[...] Even this outer ego, however, acts all unknowingly often on the basis of such information, which it will not admit it has received; and often such action saves it from dire circumstances.

The emotional climate, though intangible, is intimately known by each individual as it exists within himself, and it is the best indication of his physical condition, for thoughts and emotions as independent electrical actions have great influence directly upon the physical mechanism, acting indeed as electric storms which flash through the entire nervous system; or as great stabilizers as the case may be, and with of course many middle varieities of influence.

Thought and emotion then, is not only generally related to the physical mechanism, but as electrical actions, thoughts and emotions act directly upon the system. [...]

[...] This acted as an emotional impetus.

[...] You may then instead imagine its destruction by an act of nature. [...]

[...] I’d had a vaguely similar thought this morning, and it had reminded me of my feelings on Saturday night—that our friend’s continual sneezing amid the group was actually a prolonged act of aggression.

One note to Ruburt on vitamins: They are most effectively used for periods of two or three weeks, where they act as stimuli and reminders to the body. [...]

[...] Acts were scrutinized so that those offending to the gods could be clearly categorized so that men would not unknowingly offend. [...]

[...] To some extent your acts become ritualized, as those of our tribesmen mentioned earlier.

The inner ego is quite capable of dealing with both types of experience, and it is of course to this inner ego that your own suggestions will make sense, and be acted upon.

[...] When or if, for example, aggressiveness is the problem, then the preliminary suggestion should include a statement that in the dream the aggression will be harmlessly acted out (underline harmlessly), and not directed against a particular individual.

[...] There is no longer any assurance of secrecy in the broadest terms, for nefarious acts of politics or government. [...]

Now to some extent, because of beliefs, because of the public’s new knowledge through television of new nefarious acts, some governments do refrain from the more spectacular crimes. [...]

[...] The simple act of decision will then activate the unconscious mechanisms. [...]
