“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] She’s also somewhat intimidated, saying that I get better results than she does — whereas I think her own attitude gets in her way and that comparisons shouldn’t be made. [...]

[...] That old material concerned the work ethic, she said, and our attitudes about it.

Your own attitude toward Frederick Fell, and your remarks to Ruburt, deeply frightened him, for they reinforced the nagging feeling that Fell would not do well by him as his father had not done well by his mother. [...]

[...] Such affairs are only the shadows of probabilities—that is, experienced merely as shadows, and not fleshed out, because of your own better attitudes and knowledge. [...]

[...] It seems that this attitude is the key to everything else. [...]

[...] Some of his attitudes have to do with his parents, in that he fears he could become like his father—undisciplined and slack, loose and amoral.

[...] He wanted you to state your position, and say “I am an artist” to her and to the world, but he deeply feared that you considered that attitude irresponsible, frivolous, not practical; and worse, that you felt it negated the sacrifice you made by keeping the job for so long. [...]

[...] They have the same love of the arts, the same general attitudes. [...]

[...] They are travelers, carrying with them the ideas of one country to another, mixing cultures, religions, attitudes, political structures. [...]

[...] You did not react to the attitudes of others in those families who “had to put up with those conditions,” because to you they are natural.

[...] You stress those ideas and thoughts and attitudes that you recall from “past” experience as your own, completely ignoring those that once were “characteristic” and now are vanished — ignoring the fact also that you cannot hold thought. [...]

(“Well, lately I’ve been making a great effort to improve my attitudes.”)

Your own attitudes, for example — and beliefs — about foreigners, Prentice-Hall, people’s stupidity and lack of integrity, put you in correspondence with those same beliefs on the part of others, resulting in the translation fiasco.¹ An entirely different kind of behavior could have been elicited from those same people. [...]

[...] To some extent your own do-it-yourself attitudes kept you from such experience, and as long as Ruburt lacked it, and as long as you lacked it (with much more emphasis than I’d heard Jane use as Seth in a long time), you would both still have doubts about the nature of our own work as applied to such matters—and this goes beyond the confines of our work in ways I will try to clear later. [...]

[...] You must make the effort however, for making the effort itself would show that your attitude has changed. [...]

[...] Hence the Pollyanna attitude at times, a desperate attempt to cover up thoughts that are spontaneous, but that are considered evil by the conscientious self.

[...] We do not feel that at this stage any other opinion or attitude is needed. [...]

[...] You form in your own personal perspective the data that exists within the inner self, but you do this on an individual basis in line with your own expectations, suggestions and attitudes.

[...] The change in inner attitude, on your part particularly, toward the outside world, has in turn created a different sort of outside world, and a more beneficial one than you knew earlier.

[...] The dream itself showed your attitude, and you have already begun to change it.

[...] You were changing from old attitudes to ones that would allow you to enjoy financial abundance, without feeling guilty on the one hand, or resentful on the other; to a concentration upon abundance rather that what money the government might take away from you. [...]

[...] The stiff neck, when it occurs—the neck quite literally expresses the rigidity of attitude. [...]

He knew this, this being fairly natural, but he exaggerated your feeling, you see, because of his mental attitude, and felt he would be asking for alms.

The attitude itself helps cause that reality, to which you then react. [...]

Your own attitude now (underlined) is most beneficial, and you are doing him a service that no one else can do; partially of course to help make up for harm that you did unwittingly. [...]
