“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The night and day constitute a framework within which your experience is couched, providing the conscious mind with needed stimuli and relaxation, and allowing for proper assimilation of events. As mentioned (in sessions 651–52 in Chapter Thirteen), even then the body construction has built-in mechanisms to alter such an arrangement when further data can be handled.

Whatever talents you sense you have can be developed only if you determine to do so. The simple act of decision will then activate the unconscious mechanisms. You, as a personality, regardless of your health, wealth or circumstances, have a rich variety of probable experience from which to choose. Consciously you must realize this and seize the direction for your own life. Even if you say, “I will go along with all life offers,” you are making a conscious decision. If you say, “I am powerless to direct my life,” you are also making a deliberate choice — and in that case a limiting one.
