“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The spontaneous attitude of a joyful endeavor will release him here. His attitude has been “I have to start my dream book.” [...] The attitude has impeded his dream experiences also.

[...] A more playful attitude should be adopted when he gets up and down from the floor, and in the running. [...]

[...] Your problem being your overall attitude toward the emotion from which your art springs, for your attitude is then projected outward upon your mediums. [...]

[...] Now this too-much-too-soon attitude was reflected last evening in his class. [...]

[...] The inner attitudes must be completely changed, though your methods and styles need not necessarily change one iota. [...]

This attitude alone will help you greatly. [...]

To him in this case an attitude: “I can take it, in case of rejection.” [...]

In the face of possible rejection, which old attitudes now and then make him expect, he adopts a rigid rather than flexible stance. [...]

[...] But that attitude, again, is a symptom of what still remains of inner confusion. [...]

[...] The yoga exercises are good but can be performed with a lighter heart, not a do-or-die attitude. [...]

(4:41.) One of the attitudes detrimental to good health is that of self-condemnation, or dislike of the self. Such attitudes are unfortunately sometimes fostered by parents, schools, and religions. [...]

[...] These inborn leanings or attitudes can roughly be translated as follows.

Those attitudes are inbred in the smallest microscopic portions of the body — a part of each atom and cell and organ, and they serve to trigger all of the body’s responses that promote growth and fulfillment. [...]

The inborn leanings and attitudes that we have been discussing should ideally (underlined) remain with you for the rest of your life, leading you to express your abilities, and finding fulfillment as your knowledge expands through experience. [...]

[...] Our attitudes re Prentice. Our attitudes re correspondence. [...]

The sportsman that you might have been would have gathered, from that same available background, other attitudes and ideas that would fit in with his concept of himself, and fit his core focus. [...]

At the same time, and somewhat because of your attitudes, he felt his womanly reality a threat to both of you as artists. [...]

It will involve all levels of your realities, and include also your business dealings, your joint attitudes toward Prentice, the reasons for them, and the new framework in which you will be working.

[...] Your negative attitudes also help continue the symptoms, as do his. [...]

[...] Ruburt has had his own negative attitudes about his illness to contend with, and often yours as well. [...]

[...] There are countless small daily rituals that can break or reinforce such attitudes. [...]

[...] You can often help each other recognize negative attitudes or remarks of which the other is not consciously aware. [...]

[...] After the session I made a conscious effort to improve my attitude about the car. By then I had the idea that psychological attitudes could affect the car, and had recalled that once before Seth had dealt with the car and our attitudes while on our way to a Maine vacation in August 1964. [...]

[...] If your attitude had been strong enough to affect Ruburt, he would not have noticed it either. [...]

Now when your attitude began to change, it changed first on a subconscious level. [...]

This still leaves you free from ordinary reactions with them, need not close you off from conversation, and yet gives you an immunity from their negative attitudes. [...]

[...] He wanted to go out in order to show that his attitude had changed. [...] At that point he immediately took it for granted, with a rush of self-disapproval, that this was a sign that he had learned nothing, and that his body was objecting to the whole idea of going out, and therefore challenging him—in other words, that his negative beliefs had risen to challenge new healthier attitudes.

I am dealing with probabilities—but I do not believe it would have been out at all yet, and your own attitudes would have made that an even more regrettable situation. [...] Ruburt’s attitudes, now, were known to you, as were your own. [...]

[...] With your attitudes, you would have been no more pleased, either of you, had you put it out in one. [...]

[...] There must be an open-minded, an openhearted attitude here. [...] But the inner attitude is far more important. [...]

You must never become so involved within yourself that you ignore the feelings and reality of other human beings, and you must never look at them with the attitude that you are using them for your own development and purposes. And now I am indeed lighting into you, and I am not misinterpreting your inner attitude there.

[...] It is not that you break a specific rule; it is the attitude that allows you to break the rule; and this applies to other roads beside the physical highway. [...]

[...] Now your feelings toward me before this session have very much to do with other attitudes that are very important to you and very ingrained. [...]

It is very difficult to try to explain the nature of any event, or the ways in which any given specific mental attitude can release or inhibit the expression of any given series of events. [...]

In your cases, changes of attitude have begun to alter Framework 2, so that a corner is turned. [...]

With a changed attitude, however, you will be able to follow those distractions’ “transformations”—that is, you will be able to glimpse how this distraction ends up in that insight, or how that distraction actually initiated a beneficial event, when in the past, everything seemed unrelated. [...]

[...] Tell him to be patient with his own natural impatience —to have a relaxed attitude even about that.

[...] The party (at Gladston’s) was an important symbol, and he used it to good advantage, and so did you by your attitude.

[...] (Long pause.) Remember, again, that the Sinful-Self designation is a method of identifying certain attitudes. Those attitudes are indeed changing. [...]

[...] I discussed these notes with Jane when I wrote them—Thursday, July 30—and our individual attitudes toward the mail in general, which is steadily increasing in volume. [...]

In the case of our book (Dreams), however, Ruburt himself was worried about your attitude. [...]

The question, however brings up all of your attitudes—and you also have social attitudes—another apartment is no answer in that context. [...]

[...] You have been also highly ambiguous in your own attitudes about your dwelling. [...]

[...] Ruburt has strongly held down any tendencies through the years to spend any money, small as it might be, in decorating, buying furniture, simply because of your joint attitudes, the feeling of transition.

[...] Now you do not understand how both of your attitudes were affected, as the house itself changed and as it changed hands.

[...] He therefore expressed an attitude typical of many visitors or those who write—attitudes that really bother Jane. [...]

Through writing such notes, and exploring his feelings, his own attitudes will come more clearly to mind. [...]

(Pause at 10:35.) He also feels he should (underlined) be able to display at least enough healing ability to help those in dire straits (pause), and he expects himself to display such a deep understanding and compassion for the world and its people that any divergence from such an attitude seems to make him appear more inferior by contrast. [...]

[...] His attitude toward Aspects is involved, simply because it is his project at this time. He needed the rest from it, and had he gritted his teeth and plunged back into it, he could have fallen into old frameworks—but following his inclinations, as I told him, he avoided that, and when he begins it again it will be with the relaxed attitudes that his dreams and his newer understanding are teaching him.

Your attitude was, in some manner, more realistic than Ruburt’s, and yet his attitude was the healthier. [...]

[...] However he correctly, if subconsciously, interpreted your attitude toward the publishing house as being basically dangerous to you. [...]

Note: The attitude was partially justified, but the portion that was not justified was a symptom of a new appearance of negative thought on your part. [...]

[...] You felt his reaction to your attitude strongly, and you should have questioned yourself at that point. [...]

This may sound simple, and yet all such considerations serve to weigh you both down, and they color your attitudes far more than you realize.

[...] The other ideas I mentioned, to some extent now cast an unclear light, so that the attitudes they evoke are in conflict with your original, most persuasive goals.

As you read this session, however, try to see how those attitudes that I mentioned do clutter up your minds to some extent. [...]

My comments this evening are simply made in response to my knowledge of your original goals, and Ruburt’s. Only in their light are those other attitudes detrimental.

(Long pause.) I cannot stress the fact of Ruburt’s attitude toward the medical profession during and immediately following his hospital stay. Symbolically, however, the attitude itself is highly therapeutic, since it “stands for and represents” many important issues in his life—and in settling one you settle all in this regard. [...]

[...] Her attitudes toward Ruburt’s birth belonged to his mother, and those attitudes of his mother were far more important than Ruburt’s birth.
