“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

She had carried those beliefs of course throughout that period of time, and they were expressed unconsciously through her body — through gestures, expressions, tones of voice. The whole physical self expected rebuffs. The events of those days, whatever they were, would be interpreted in the light of that mental set (intently).

(Pause at 9:42.) Now she understood that she was not a victim but the originator of those conditions. During the time involved, her feelings faithfully mirrored her conscious beliefs. She was lost in self-pity and self-condemnation. These brought about the weakened body state. In speaking to her the second time Ruburt gave Andrea excellent advice, explaining the way in which such feelings can be handled to advantage. In his or her own way, each reader can easily utilize the method.

At the same time all beliefs are communicated to others, not only through quite unconscious bodily mechanisms, but telepathically. You will always try to correlate your ideas with exterior experience. (Pause.) All of the abilities of the inner self will be brought to bear to materialize the image of your beliefs, regardless of what they ought to be. The “proper” emotions will be generated, bringing about those body states that exist in your conscious mind.

I have used Andrea because so many typical Western beliefs coincide in her reality — the idea that aging is disastrous; that women are relatively powerless without a man beside them; that life is, practically speaking, highly difficult while it should be ideally simple. All of these ideas obtain their charge from a basic belief in the powerlessness of the conscious self to form and regulate its experience.

A person may seem to be very open and responsive. Reading this book, for example, any reader might say, “My trouble is that I am too emotional.” Yet on some self-analysis, almost all will find areas in which emotions are expressed only to a certain point. They are not followed through.
