“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In any case the “troublesome” material remained (long pause), relatively inactive more or less—unless and until certain situations arose, unless and until his curiosity and ability led him to actively challenge those ideas while also in a situation where the natural fear of abandonment might be implied or suggested. The individual’s impetus is toward growth, development and understanding. These, again, these seemed to imply a matrix for some kind of safety. At certain points, then, the assimilation of new information is so qualifiedly different from the original belief structure that in order to assimilate it the personality is left for a time between belief systems.

In a fashion therefore he possessed a greater leeway of mental activity (long pause). Our material, and his own abilities, represented various kinds of trials, development and growth, and also implied various kinds of threats of different strengths throughout the years. He could assimilate much new knowledge by means of the creative mechanisms, which could not transform troublesome ideas into other symptoms that could become quite acceptable.

The time would come, however, when the old bondings had to be encountered, for they simply could not hold the newer frameworks of understanding which were larger than they were. The ideas presented by the so-called Sinful Self represent several layers of activity, then, that should be understood as represented. Some of the most troublesome aspects of one’s belief structures are shared by millions in your society, and by certain levels of Ruburt’s own personality, where they exist with varying strengths. The personality is now trying to assimilate a greater framework to become bonded to a higher sequence of knowledge.

The old attitude kept reinforcing the idea of self-disapproval, accusation, period. What is wanted is another matrix or support from which the personality can assimilate still newer knowledge, and continue to develop—generally speaking—with a sense of relative freedom.

The ego may assimilate only a part of a given experience. Sometimes it will not assimilate or accept an experience at all. [...] It is not necessary that the ego assimilate all experiences that are open to consciousness of self. [...]

The difficulty here is of an ego’s refusal to assimilate subconscious experience.

Any gap of assimilation here can be most unfortunate, and sometimes disastrous. [...]

[...] On the other hand the equally significant assimilating, combining, correlating characteristics of consciousness are overlooked. [...]

[...] The mind actually becomes more itself, freer to use more of its abilities, allowed to stray from restricted areas, to assimilate, acknowledge and create.

There are ways of assimilating your inner knowledge, your contrasting values of light and darkness, good and bad, youth and old age, and of using such criteria to enrich your own experience in a most practical fashion. [...]

[...] The conscious mind is better able to remember and assimilate its dreaming experience, and in dreams the self can use its waking experience more efficiently.

[...] This is not the fault of the subconscious, but a fault of the ego, which refuses to assimilate or accept a given action. [...]

[...] In either case the ego is at fault for not assimilating or accepting the emotion. [...]

The strength of the ego actually depends on the flexibility with which it can accept and assimilate ever more complex actions, and give them a unity of its own. [...]

[...] He may dislike it, but he will recognize it as a part of himself during whatever period it is assimilated. [...]

[...] This does occur in rhythms, periods of assimilation being usually though not inevitably necessary. [...]

(One-minute pause at 8:52.) I did want to make some comments about the Sinful Self in general, and how it is perceived and assimilated in say, Castaneda’s work and in the belief structure of Kubler-Ross. [...]

Now Ruburt’s body is responding very well, and the material we have given on the Sinful Self—and other subjects—is being assimilated. [...]

[...] But the whole structure and its subsidiary relationships change together, and the conscious mind is able to assimilate what is happening.

[...] Great doses of such “artificial” drugs are not easily assimilated, and bring about biological confusion.

[...] They are able to assimilate their knowledge, to purposefully direct it into both their individual lives and their social structure. [...]

[...] Intellect and feeling together make up your existence, but the fallacy is particularly in the belief that the aware mind must be analytical above all, as opposed to, for example, the understanding or assimilation of intuitive psychic knowledge.

[...] Since, as I told you, he is now assimilating nourishment far better than he did earlier. [...]

[...] He is now assimilating nourishment well enough so that the body can heal itself, and gain some weight besides. [...]

[...] This need is also a signal to awaken so that unconscious material and dream information can be consciously assimilated.

[...] With yours, a finer discrimination is necessary so that unconscious material can be assimilated. [...]

[...] Conscious stimuli is over-applied, making assimilation difficult and placing a strain upon the mind-body relationship.

There is material in the book that you have not had time to assimilate, but tonight’s session, followed together, will be of great value. [...]

[...] Intuitional knowledge and conscious assimilation are some poles apart, at least in your society. [...]

[...] That knowledge, in other words, consciously assimilated and used, can solve any of the personal problems.

[...] It started your heartbeat, controls circulation of your blood, regulates digestion, assimilation, and elimination. [...]

[...] It started your heartbeat, controls circulation of your blood, regulates digestion, assimilation, and elimination. [...]

The remaining bedsores will be healing themselves at an even quicker rate, since he is now assimilating protein so much better than he used to. [...]

[...] Various core beliefs, not well assimilated, will give you conflicting self-images. [...]

[...] I will use him here as an example to some extent, to show how a bridge belief appeared to assimilate what seemed to be diametrically opposed ideas. [...]

Using it, he is only now in the process of assimilating the newly available energy. [...]

[...] The dream experiences reflect the assimilation of conscious and unconscious knowledge, and a new growing unity. [...]

Now: we have been having a rather concentrated group of sessions, and it is quite natural that Ruburt should want to take some time out as he has, so that he can assimilate the material. [...]

[...] Actually I had many questions, but decided to forgo them since Seth had remarked earlier that Jane needed time to assimilate the material he’s already given.)

[...] Again, there will be a natural pacing, and on the part of the entire personality additional motion as the information is assimilated and adjustments made to a greater accommodation. [...]

I am pacing these sessions now, granting the four or so a week, according to his own experiences, so that the material can also be assimilated along the way. [...]

[...] He could not assimilate the information, and became frightened, to some extent at least, at the vastness of the experience involved, as if the ancient yet new knowledge that he sought for his individual reasons was so encompassing that his own individuality would have trouble handling it while retaining its own necessary frame of reference. [...]

He was bathed in that light, however, filled with it, refreshed by it, and given new comprehensions that will now emerge in his experience in a piecemeal fashion that can be assimilated in his normal frame of reference. [...]

[...] Now, Ruburt’s whole personality had to assimilate the knowledge that he was receiving, but this automatically changed the personality from what it was.

He literally could not operate until he assimilated these new experiences or denied them, in the main. [...]

[...] The personality is then free to explore and assimilate greater areas of original knowledge. [...]

[...] You remember dreams when you are ready to assimilate new knowledge at conscious levels. [...]
