“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I hesitate to repeat myself, and yet remind Ruburt of this playful attitude I have spoken of. [...]

The strain is a result of your own attitudes, of course—of a burden being applied that should or need not be. [...] It is your attitude that hurts. [...] In exaggerated form, Ruburt makes the same statement of his own with his own symptoms—that is, they also express attitudes. [...]

(Long pause at 9:22.) Now nothing is all that simple, so there would be changes in his attitudes: He would tell himself, for example, that television or whatever would fritter away his time, or at other occasions other fears would rise so that the Sinful Self would think “Suppose such activity succeeded only too well, leading whole groups of people away from established systems of belief?” (Long pause.) There seemed to be little resolution. [...]

[...] Religions have been denying the right of the body to pleasure for centuries, so changes in those attitudes are significant. [...]

[...] It dealt with the peccadilloes of Congress, and various unflattering attitudes of the population at large, as reflected in Gallop and Harris polls; the results of these polls were not publicized, and made quite cynical reading, I thought.

(The article led me to wonder why we behaved as we did, as a species, with seemingly little change throughout recorded history; I wondered what purposes, what real sense, lay behind our attitudes and actions, etc; Jane and I had a little discussion about it.

[...] As you have always known, his attitude toward our book represented, of course, his attitude toward our sessions. [...]

[...] This means that your positive and healthy attitudes are physically manifest, as well as your unhealthy or negative attitudes. It is almost impossible for you to weed out all negative attitudes, for by these you understand the difference between positive and negative. [...]

[...] Jane and I talked with Leonard today, Sunday, and learned that he appears to have put off marriage to the girl in question—see Turnabout—because of her “attitude about money.” [...]

(2. I found myself wondering if my own attitudes might have strongly influenced Jane’s early psychic behavior in ways neither of us suspected—that she may have inhibited certain elements of her abilities because she feared my own ideas about distractions, time, failure, etc. Perhaps, Jane had wanted more physical and psychic activity all along, I thought—more tours, TV, publicity, fame, money, whatever—but all those things she held back on because of my own negative attitudes. [...]

[...] I saw her remarks as correlating with my primary question for this evening, since Seth has told us that her feelings of distress at such times result from her mental attitudes as much, or more than, physical circumstances.

[...] Remember desire in terms of Ruburt’s wanting to vacuum a rug, or whatever, and encourage those desires rather than an attitude of “I must do something physical today.”

[...] You do not, however, through your attitudes play the kind of game that is necessary.

(10:00.) For one thing, you do not respect position, and your attitudes are clear, through your notes and Ruburt’s introductions. [...]

[...] It is accepting your work, and in your terms—those terms that exist because of your beliefs and your attitudes. [...]

[...] I thought part of the material was hilarious, about our attitudes toward the world. [...]

[...] “I wasn’t going to ask this tonight, but earlier today I found myself wondering how much of Jane’s symptoms result from my own attitudes and statements about Prentice. [...]

(I thought Seth’s brief answer to my question merely reinforced my suspicion that my attitudes toward Prentice had unduly influenced Jane. [...]

That freedom is then, and has been, applied in other areas that are not so apparent, and has helped both his attitude and health.

Number one also shows your own attitudes, for he is not continuing to lose weight. [...]

[...] So already in his mind he is gaining weight, seeing himself fairly agile—but he felt this was in spite of your attitudes, not with your enthusiasm or understanding.

[...] I told her her attitude was a great improvement. [...]

[...] I thought our own attitudes might have caused it. [...]

A point I want to make: these are small but significant attitudes of his. [...]

He did not feel you sympathized with him at all on a physical level, and he felt that his and your attitudes of dealing with the whole matter mentally through suggestion, was a way of further implementing the difficulty—the physical divorce.

[...] I am dealing mainly right now with his attitudes because you did not recognize many of them. [...]

[...] So your attitudes in that regard, and reactions, will be mixed but usually adverse.

[...] In this also a definite but not bullying attitude is important. The panicky feeling is already lessening and Ruburt’s discipline is catching up with and conquering his emotional attitudes so that the problem will be worked out, that is he will stop smoking.

[...] A more relaxed attitude will reduce the quick breathing and the tightening of the sinuses that results from not relaxing.

[...] However a relaxed attitude is extremely important to counteract other tendencies. [...]

Now he questions his own attitudes, however, which is good, and helps him avoid the full brunt of such pitfalls.

[...] And from me you get knowledge of its feelings and attitudes when you request them.

[...] The pendulum told me yesterday that it was because I was concerned that our finishing Psyche this year would give us more money, which in turn would mean that our taxes next April would be higher —a ridiculous worry, I agree, and quite in keeping with my past attitudes about money and taxes. [...]

[...] His attitude has completely changed for the better. [...]

Your own behavior with your parents, with Ruburt, your attitudes toward your painting and outside jobs, Ruburt’s attitudes toward children, his work and you—all of these were so influenced. [...]

Ruburt’s new attitudes and intentions to be responsive are renewing the body. [...]

With this present condition completely banished, proper attitudes and proper use of the yoga exercises will allow him to stay in excellent health. [...]

(Earlier this evening Jane emphatically told me there was a difference in her attitudes now. [...]

The affirmations are of help, and his overall attitude has definitely and significantly changed.

[...] This idea also came back, reading a book on William James Peggy G. gave me for Xmas—his attitudes and mine so often seem similar—that he was determined to be daring, press ahead no matter what, explore consciousness—while at the same time being attracted to safety, disliking controversy, wanting peace, etc. [...]
