“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Tell him that he is as stubborn out of his body as he is when he is in it. [...]

[...] Even physically you are more than you know, for the chemicals that are your body, and the atoms and molecules and the breath that leaves your lungs... [...]

[...] You think this kind of affair strange, because you do not realize that you yourselves exist independently of your physical bodies... [...]

[...] Your consciousness belongs in a body. You would not be caught DEAD with your consciousness outside of your body. [...] Now the fact is that your consciousness is not imprisoned within your body; but as long as you believe that it is, again, you will not be caught dead outside of it. [...]

[...] When using the pendulum, it is a good idea to mentally place a distance between your conscious mind and the pendulum, in which fears are allowed to dissolve, so that body and mind are smooth-enough. [...] If you can think of your body as existing primarily in Framework 2, that might help you separate yourselves from negative beliefs connected with Framework 1, for by such a mental change of view you take the body out of that context.

[...] You will say, “The four egos belonging to Eve all belonged to one physical body, but in the reincarnational process we are faced with the issue of several bodies, each one discarded and experiencing physical death.”

[...] There was not one shared body in the case of the four Eves. There were four separate bodies.

[...] As you know, the physical body is itself never the same, and the atoms that compose it appear and disappear constantly while the appearance of permanency is retained. [...]

But as the personalities alternated they took over the organic processes so completely that while the body appeared, generally speaking, to be the same, it was not the same.

While I want to emphasize that point, I also want to remind you that innately and ideally the body is quite equipped to heal itself, and certainly to cure its own momentary headache. You would have to substitute an entirely different learning system, at your present stage, for the body to show its true potentials and healing abilities.

[...] We’re to discuss her mistrust of her physical body, and related subjects. [...]

[...] It goes without saying that physical play automatically helps develop the body and its capabilities.

[...] Many beneficial muscular changes appear to be taking place in her body. [...]

[...] Your own physical body provides you with sturdy corporal images, exterior presentations. [...]

“Today, Ruburt’s body wanted to relax. [...]

(“What was that feeling he had today in his chest, back, and body, like an electric pulsation?”)

[...] (Eyes narrowed and dark.) They are not as nicely nor as neatly packaged out, one to a body, as your psychologists believe. [...] They use the physical body fully, or they partially depart according to their own inner needs and development.

[...] He, in the old-man body, enjoys the solitude that he always wanted. [...]

There will be a joyous gathering together of his identity when the body dies. [...]

[...] When you have a headache or a simple stomach upset, or if you have a chronic, annoying but not serious condition, such as trouble with your sinuses, or if you have hay fever — in those situations, remind yourself that your body does indeed have the capacity to heal itself.” [...]

You might find yourself in a completely different body, or in a different time, or of course in a different perspective of relationships—but you are your own reference point. [...]

[...] Next I began to remind myself of Seth’s material in the last three private sessions—to live in the present and stop projecting into the future, that my body didn’t deserve to be treated that way, and didn’t understand such musings. [...]

[...] He is learning, just lately now, how to release them, and the body is beginning to let go. [...]

Releasing the habit of repression will itself allow the body to relax, and be released. [...]

[...] A concentration upon the healthy parts of his body will help increase his health. [...]

(Yesterday I’d told Jane that I knew her “body was up to something.” [...] I wanted to know what her sinful self thought about what it was doing to her body, if it cared, if it even understood that it’s protective actions threatened its own existence. [...]

The main issue involved, once again, is the trust of the body.

[...] The will’s power is impressive, and it is “distributed” throughout the body. The body depends upon it for direction. The will’s beliefs, again, activate the body’s automatic resources.

[...] Man learned to fly as he tried to exteriorize inner experience, for in out-of-body states in dreams he had long been familiar with flight. [...]

[...] Ruburt found himself in an out-of-body state, looking at a jacket. [...]

[...] In this probability you provided yourself with a background that included sports and the love of the body, knowing [those qualities] would sustain you.

[...] He had no strong background structure in which to build up a confidence in the body mechanisms. The youthful body was able to maintain an equilibrium. [...]

[...] Physically he had never really forced a body image through athletics, for example. [...]

[...] It has been difficult for him to accept the fact that the mind literally controls the body. [...]

It was not that he didn’t accept the responsibility so much as that, in that weakest area, he did not realize the strength of his own conscious thoughts to alter the body mechanism. [...]

[...] She said she’d felt strange since supper; now she said she felt that we shouldn’t be so subjectively aware, now; but that we should be as our future selves, observing the present scene and our physical bodies as they sat in the living room, from the outside.

[...] She felt “slightly” out of her body to her right as she sat there, but nothing drastic.

[...] Sitting down on the couch again, she felt like moving to the right out of her body again. [...]

[...] but somebody’s around here, in an out-of-body state, I think. [...]

[...] In the dream state consciousness ignores space-time relationships to a large degree, and yet it is still firmly based upon the body’s corporeal mechanism. [...] You perceive yourself running, talking, eating, in quite physical activities — except that they are not performed by the body that lies on the bed.

[...] When you consider survival after death, for instance, you imagine all the senses fully operating, though perhaps in a nonphysical body. [...]

She will finally want to be independent of her body, but she is not cowering; she is struggling to free herself. [...]

[...] Ruburt did distrust the body because it was female—a belief quite helpful, if distorted, when he was 15 or 16 years old, or even in his 20’s.

Ruburt’s body, incidentally, has held out remarkably well through all of this. [...]

[...] There is nothing in Ruburt’s body that cannot be vastly improved and corrected. [...]

[...] Let Ruburt try one out-of-body this week—simply try.

[...] I do personally credit the body with having terrific healing powers—especially if, as I said to Jane recently, the body is left alone to repair itself. [...] It may even be, I’ve often thought, that one cannot really leave the body alone, nor be meant to—for the physical body would be a portion of the reality each individual creates, and so is bound to be intimately involved with individual fears, desires, intents, successes, etc.)

[...] And he looked down, could not see his body, could not hear his voice, and therefore deduced that he had no body and no voice, even though he knew he had both a body and a voice before he entered that room. But he says “I will at any moment believe only what I can see, and though I am sure that I saw more at one time, now I can see nothing and so I have no body, since I cannot see it.”

With the hands that he does not think he has, our imaginary man then feels the contours of his body. [...] If someone else says “Oh, I feel a body,” he says “You are a medium.” [...]

[...] It is however a fact that even mankind, in his blundering manner, will discover that he himself creates his own physical universe, and that the mechanisms of the physical body have more functions and varieties than he knows. [...]

[...] It was like a magnified tingling, or thrilling, suffusing the whole body, flooding up my legs into the abdominal and chest cavities; I was left feeling as though I might be lifted up and swept away. [...]

[...] The body was used like a shield. [...] The body has been softening, giving him a feeling of vulnerability, you see.

In ways too complicated to describe this evening, each portion of the body is connected with each other portion. The massage of the feet upon the ground, for example, does affect all body areas. [...]

[...] Despite all of this, the overall processes of his body have improved. [...]

[...] His body is quite capable. [...]

[...] You hypnotize your very nerves, and the cells within your body, for they will react as you expect them to react, and the beliefs of your conscious mind are followed in degree by all portions of the self down to the smallest atom and molecule. The large events of your life, your interactions with others, including the habitual workings of the most minute physical events within your body — all of this follows your conscious belief.
