“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Whatever thoughts, beliefs, opinions, theories or dogma you write, engrave or impress on your subconscious mind—you will experience them as the objective manifestation of circumstances, conditions and events; what you write on the inside, you experience on the outside. [...]

[...] In certain areas, however, invisible beliefs may operate for some time because they are accepted as reality within the framework. [...]

They can often be recognized as attitudes, however, before they are seen objectively as beliefs. [...]

[...] Your beliefs about thoughts, for example, are a part of such learning, and they invisibly structure your understanding.

[...] In your existence it is quite reasonable to visualize a desired event, for example, in the belief that the image and thought will help make the event physically real – and so it shall. [...]

[...] As I wrote to a fan just last week: “No matter what he or she may think of it personally, no reputable scientist is going to publicly espouse a belief in the Seth material. [...]

My own belief, which I’ve held for some 15 years, is that in Jane’s case at least the young girl’s psychological conditioning was far more important—far more damaging, in those terms—than any physical tendency to inherit. [...]

In these last few pages (since I began discussing my beliefs about Jane’s early psychological conditioning), I’ve indicated the only kind of thinking by which I can personally make sense out of our world these days. [...]

I think the beliefs the three of us hold are very creative ones; we accept them on that basis; they are as good “proofs” as we can currently get, and offer their own answers by sparking us into new ways of trying to make sense out of our reality. [...]

All of this meant he was left with body beliefs, so that he believed his body could not respond normally. [...]

[...] The body beliefs need to be tackled regardless of the attitudes that gave them birth, and your reassurances of his attractiveness are important—for he convinced himself at least to some degree that because of his condition he was not attractive to others.

[...] You felt too sorry for him, and yet angry and embarrassed, and all of that was caused by concentrating upon the problem, projecting it in the future, in the definite belief, for all I have said, that that method of problem-solving works.

The belief is that if you frighten yourself badly enough through imagined projections and imagination, you will be frightened enough to change—but the nation or the individual following that method does not change for the better, but compounds the original condition, concentrates upon it until it looms larger than before. [...]

Now, all of your so-called pasts exist within you now, and you can discover what they are and recapture your own memories, but you are not imprisoned in time unless you believe that you are, and there is nothing more important than belief. There is nothing that can free you more than belief, and there is nothing that can hold you in bondage more than belief. [...]

(11:05.) Give us a moment … (Pause.) You build smooth structures of beliefs, then look at reality using the beliefs like glasses — tinted ones. [...]

12. For one of the ways in which Seth explicates the idea that we’re blind to information — or beliefs — that we don’t agree with, see the 617th session for Chapter 3 of Personal Reality.

[...] Beliefs can affect them, but for now it is simpler to avoid them completely.

[...] The question in such instances is the reason for such a person’s overconcern and alarm in the first place—why the intense interest in such possible catastrophes, or in crime or whatever?—and the answer lies in an examination of the person’s feelings and beliefs about the nature of existence itself.

[...] At once, I told Jane, I thought that science and religion would be violently opposed to the idea, at least in the beginning, for it would challenge many rigid beliefs held by each of those disciplines. [...]

[...] The hostage situation (now in day 53) is a materialized mass dream, meant to be important and vital on political and religious platforms of reality, meant to dramatize a conflict of beliefs, and to project that conflict outward into the realm of public knowledge. [...]

Religious beliefs will be examined as they have not been before, and their connections and political affiliations. [...]

[...] Following such beliefs, you find yourselves thinking of dreaming as chaotic, unreasonable, and as completely divorced from normal conscious direction, purpose, or function. [...]

[...] As she comes to understand her own belief systems more and more, Jane very gradually continues her physical improvement. [...]

[...] For, again, I must stress the fact that in its way nature makes no such judgments, regardless of the beliefs of your science or religions.

[...] Whatever man’s conscious beliefs, on a biological level his genetic structure is intimately related to the genetic structure of all other species.

[...] Suffering cannot be dismissed from human experience as a freak matter of distorted emotions or beliefs.

In the case of criminals and their belief systems, aggression has a positive value. [...]

[...] Because of other beliefs it seemed that it was not safe to relax. [...]

[...] They also reflected—to some degree, now—your own perhaps more subsidiary beliefs that it was not safe to relax, or that spontaneity might lead to further uncertainties. [...]

[...] In the unknown reality your thoughts are instantly made apparent and real, materialized according to your beliefs. There, if you believe in demons, you will see them — without ever realizing that they are part of the environment of your psyche, formed by your beliefs, and thrown out as mirages over a very real environment that you do not perceive. [...]

So you take a psychic guided tour into other realities; the unknown seems known, so that you are not an explorer after all, but a tourist, taking with you the paraphernalia of your own civilization, and beliefs that are quite conventional.

[...] Sometimes we’ll discover that the “knowledge” of us held by the skeptic(s) in question is so far removed from our actual beliefs and activities that it would take us a very long time to establish any real understanding among all involved — if it would be possible to begin with, that is. [...]

You will always find that Ruburt’s writings are precise barometers, giving excellent indications as to his inner state of mind; showing also the quality and direction of his beliefs at any given time.

[...] In the poetry you have seen for some time now an indication of acceptance and of belief. [...]

The beliefs of his intellect will be found in the general nonfiction. [...]

[...] which meant more than mere ostracism but the complete isolation of a person from those belief systems, with nothing between him or her and those frightening realities.... [...]

[...] It is true that your thoughts and emotions and beliefs form the reality that you experience — but it is also true that this creative construction is, in a manner of speaking, magically formed. [...]

[...] They rise and fall because of the great sway of emotion and belief.

[...] They die because of emotion and belief, and because there is a subjective rather than an objective time for dying. [...]
