“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I told her the increased motion represented the key to getting her decubiti under control, that any fears she had about increased freedom of motion simply had to be either dismissed or much downgraded-—turned into positive forces and actions toward motion so that her whole body could mend itself. [...]

[...] It is not that certain answers do not lie openly accessible, therefore, but that often you have set yourself on a course of action in which you believe, and you do not want to open yourself to any material that may contradict your current beliefs.

[...] I would like to make one point here, however — that often psychoanalysis is simply a game of hide-and-seek, in which you continue to relinquish responsibility for your actions and reality and assign the basic cause to some area of the psyche, hidden in a dark forest of the past. [...]

“On one level the personality attempts to solve problems through dream constructions … and often gives freedom to actions that cannot be adequately expressed within the confines of waking life. If the attempt fails, then the problem or action [as we’ve seen before] may materialize as an illness.

[...] We are not talking about substituting dream action for physical action. [...]

[...] Dream actions can be turned toward fulfilling constructive expectations, which can themselves effect a change for the better.

[...] He asked me, then, to show by my actions that I was this personality, ready to take over his rightful position. [...]

His heart action was also quickened, and certain pressures put upon the capillaries and blood vessels, that are needed for normal activity. [...]

[...] Under such conditions men who feel a part of nothing, of no structure or family or country, can understand in a flash their comradeship with the earth, their place upon it and its energy; through suddenly recognizing that relationship they feel their own power for action.

[...] The feeling of hopelessness was out in the open for all to see, and therefore action could be taken.

[...] Powers of initiation and action, long buried, were released in numberless individuals. [...]

The symptoms were obviously a result of inner attitudes, and also besides that a physical way of asking for physical action, attention, and emotional action and attention. [...]

[...] Your own actions, plus the new insight Ruburt is gaining, will serve as your start. [...]

[...] Dream actions can indeed—and often do—affect genetic alterations, acting as triggers for altered cellular action. [...]

[...] You have instead a conglomeration of severely conflicting beliefs, so that there is no clear single road to action.

The expression of emotions in itself is an expression of action, of motion. [...]

[...] Your physical senses force you to perceive action in certain terms, but this is not the nature of action. [...]

[...] There will be periods of deep relaxation (as today), and the opportunities must be allowed for so that gains during these periods can be utilized in action later.

[...] Yet at the same time all motions and actions reinforce the healthy body beliefs and dissolve the old ones.

[...] And the will, now, can be used to initiate a series of actions that will be spontaneous; and the motions now, the physical motions, in turn set up mental images of spontaneity that become self-generating. [...]

[...] Now it is true that initially the motion was made in his mind, and accepted, but the will can also be used to initiate such actions. [...]

[...] Using those terms, we have a god constantly in the process of creation, action acting upon itself, always with new possibilities, each existence bringing forth new varieties. [...]

[...] And punishment enters in between those two statements as the individual takes the consequence for the action and the intent.

[...] Now this quality that could be said to be a substitute for your space and time, this quality-depth, represents the perspective in which this sort of psychic traveling or psychic motion, or any psychic action, occurs; and its depth can be understood not in terms of downward action, but perhaps you can comprehend it if you think of a deep trance, for example, as definitely having motion, though the body may be motionless.

[...] The motion is action through quality or value dimension. [...]

Quality-depth is therefore the perspective in which all psychic actions occur, all ideas and universes expand. [...]

[...] I think all of this could be counterpart action, all right, personified by two selves living in the same narrow time period, in close proximity in the same geographical area of the Middle East.⁸

[...] I didn’t “see” the reasons and actions leading to his presence there, and I doubt if I ever will. [...]

[...] This applies even to my Roman selves in their restrictive military environments (which are also protective), and even if their chosen courses of action result in demands or challenges they cannot surmount….

[...] In Chapter 4 of Politics, Jane described how Peter offered some interesting present-day “correlations” with portions of my third Roman, of the first century A.D. Peter’s information concerned the Spanish fishermen he saw hauling large nets ashore along certain beaches of the Mediterranean Sea; I’d seen similar actions during my internal perceptions that day.

[...] He was already geared for action and physical activity. A temper tantrum, such as dish throwing, would have been more effective than no action, though not the best sort of solution.

While many of your expectations are formed in childhood, no switch is really stuck in one position, and it is your prerogative to channel your emotional energy into whatever pattern for action you desire. [...]

[...] By concentrating too deeply upon the world of newspapers and the negative reports of man’s actions, it is truly easy to lose sight of what I tell you (louder) is each man’s and each woman’s basic good intent.

(11:40.) To some people wars, poverty, murder, treachery, corruption, are primary experience, and must be dealt with — as requiring immediate action. [...]

[...] You are able to take action in your own experience, and therefore affect others. [...]

The body maintains its vitality not only through the physical motion and agility that you perceive, but by microscopic agility, and actions within microseconds, that you do not perceive. [...] The body must now and then “flush its systems out,” run through its repertoire, raise its temperature (pause), activate its hormonal actions more strongly. [...]

[...] Therefore, actions that you make now can help a so-called past personality; and a so-called future personality may step in and help you along your weary way.

Also, your actions now can affect the future personality as well as the past one. [...]

Your conscious mind tells you where you are in time and space, and directs your activity in a world of human action. [...] Because you have a conscious mind, then, other portions of your being rely upon it to give them an adequate picture of your situation, and to give the conscious orders for action. [...]

[...] While we were eating we had a flurry of action in 330 as people—male and female—had to get in and dust and mop the floor, and talk about paintings, and so forth. [...]
