“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, again, after my cheery beginning, I offer you my fondest wishes, and I expect you to work hard for I do not give you pretty, easy phrases. And if you wanted pretty, easy phrases you would not be here. You must use your intellect and your intuitions and read some passages four times.

Now, I have been, in many ways, a sly and cunning teacher, for the material is given in such a way that as you read it and use your intellect and intuitions to understand it, you automatically develop both your intuitions and your intellect and expand the nature of your own consciousness, though part of the training of consciousness itself is in the body of the material as it exists. To the extent that you extend yourselves, your abilities will automatically be developed, as you read and study the material. There are many books and there are many teachers and there are many ways. Some of it is simple but they are quite necessary to those at a certain level of development. If those ways were sufficient to you, that is where you would be. You have become dissatisfied with those ways, but in becoming dissatisfied you must also extend yourselves to learn new methods of perceptions, and you must expand your consciousness.

There is another point I want to make. Now, as I told you, you have experiences in the dream state and in the waking state of which you are not even physically aware. Now, you also often develop abilities in the dreaming and sleep state and perform work and creative activities of which you are not aware. Now, if you really learn to keep track of your dreams and record them over a period of time, you may get a clue as to what these activities are. There are other ways of obtaining clues in psychological time, for example, but if I were you, I would be much more curious about what I do in my dreams for you can utilize these abilities in the waking state.
