“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I must perhaps here clear up a point: I am taking it for granted that you understand that I am referring to the “mental attitude” of animals and of the body consciousness, for they both do possess their own mental attitudes—psychological colorations—and above all, emotional states. [...]

In news watching—which does satisfy a natural need—you also run into a barrage of cultural beliefs and attitudes that are secondary. [...]

[...] If the skirmish is not at the front door or in the neighborhood, the animal consciousness simply watches all with a wary or amused mental attitude. [...]

I am saying that it is far better to look on the most hoped-for solution to any situation, and to voice that attitude rather than to expect the poorest outcome, or express the most dire of attitudes. [...]

[...] Mainly because of the inner attitudes of those involved. [...]

[...] The seemingly small episode of last evening presented in miniature the basic attitudes that are behind aggressive acts.

[...] These attitudes pervade in the animal kingdom also. [...]

[...] But her impatience is growing, no doubt about it, and if it continues to do so I’m sure it will bring about — even force — changes in her behavior and attitude. [...]

(Sunday afternoon, November 5, I devoted to a long pendulum session, concerning my attitudes as related to Jane’s symptoms; it was most beneficial and rewarding, and we were anxious to have Seth’s comments on it this evening.

[...] This attitude automatically suggests that progression in your work takes a certain amount of time, and limits your intuitional insights, confining them to your idea of time.

A complete reversal of attitude can take place, and will if you persist. [...]

[...] In desperation you both began to question inner attitudes, and you then broke the ice with a pendulum session. [...]

[...] That attitude colors all of their other beliefs and actions. [...]

Behind many such attitudes is the idea that the body itself is unworthy, and that starving it somehow cuts down on the appetites of the flesh. [...]

He does have attitudes, as I told him last evening (mentally), that you had some ten years ago, setting up so strongly the idea of responsibility and lack of lifetime (physical time to live, etc.). [...]

[...] With the negative and destructive attitudes you had before our sessions, you are both very lucky that you did not run into more difficulty.

[...] Seth insisted that the answers re Jane’s symptoms, and my own contributing attitudes, had already been given in past sessions, but were not being followed.

[...] Intellectually, he understood that changes had to be made in his attitude, and he tried to treat your family kindly, and consciously to make up to his mother by being nice to yours.

Your attitude shows that your own beliefs have definitely changed.

[...] That belief dissolved impediments that lay in your way—even some you did not recognize—attitudes, for example, that you had but did not see were detrimental. [...]

[...] The more his attitude changes, the more flexible he becomes, the more freedom he allows himself. [...]

The fact that you even sent books to artists and art institutions shows that you have changed your attitudes in Framework 1, thereby opening resources in Framework 2 that did not exist, practically speaking, earlier. [...]

[...] That change of attitude is vastly important.

[...] Actually, I regard the attitudes and beliefs of her sinful self as the key to Jane’s recovery, since better attitudes there will leave her free to automatically restore mobility, both physically and psychologically. [...]

[...] These ideas are a great improvement over her earlier attitudes, of course, and we’ll see what we can do. [...]

[...] Much of this attitude in passing now.

[...] In this particular case built-up negative attitudes of years’ standing set up negative patterns that prevented the most creative parts of the self from using their natural potential.

As far as the Tuesday episode, in such a case recognize that negative attitudes entered in. [...]

[...] Only your habits and attitudes have prevented this, but the idea should be practically put to work.

Your own attitude has been highly beneficial, and has helped him in countless instances. [...]

[...] You have never really examined your beliefs seriously concerning your objective physical surroundings, and your psychic attitudes. [...]

(“Well, certainly my own rigid attitudes contributed to her lack of mobility.”)

[...] What I want to know is whether you can help impress my own changed attitude upon Jane so that it helps her in daily life? [...]

[...] His attitudes had by now changed. [...]

Because of your attitude toward Fell, he did not believe you were pleased with him or the ESP book. [...]

[...] Tonight I asked that Seth at least comment upon the visit, since I had the feeling it marked a turning point for us as far as our attitudes went; about meeting others, etc.

[...] It might seem that all of this should happen without any soreness, that he should simply feel better and better, but such an attitude would also attempt to deny the body’s resiliency, and to short-circuit it.

I have little to say otherwise, except that your own attitudes have changed for the better, for you took your strengths for granted, for once (re AP’s visit), and did not concentrate upon those areas that you once felt were so shameful. [...]

[...] Before, the symptoms predominated in such an encounter, as with Monroe, because of your attitudes. [...]

Your husband’s attitude, certainly on the surface, has been understanding. Yet despite the surface attitude you feel, this is a duty, and you have set in your mind a bogeyman, called Orgasm. [...]

[...] This is from distorted attitudes of your own. [...]

[...] After your marriage, because of your interpretation and attitude, it seemed you became one of others, or two amongst many.

[...] His loyalty to you is unswerving, as unfortunately many of his bitter attitudes toward those in his past are unswerving.

[...] His rigidity of attitude resulted in a trend for self-destruction, tempered it is true, but dangerous. [...]

Your attitude has much to do with his improvement. [...]

[...] In the body’s reality, for example, today’s improvements are quite momentous—but your joint attitudes in the past put the body’s efforts down.

[...] Your joint attitudes are plain. [...]

This entire attitude of course represents those areas where you have not made the leap from the world’s beliefs—and you do feel betwixt and between.

His attitude in its own way is the same as you mentioned earlier this evening, in that he believes he is lucky not to have to work out, and so must make what he is doing pay. [...] The amount of time is not important, but his attitude toward it is.

[...] When work in terms of making money was applied to writing, then divisions occurred in his attitude as to what might be salable and bring money, and therefore fall into the work category—and what might not be salable but highly creative regardless.

[...] With attitudes like that, the sessions would never have begun. [...]
