“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You can learn, even a Jesuit can learn, to change the focus of your attention within seconds. Practice is all that is required, but the practice itself will show results. When you fear any difficulty with your particular physical problem, you can immediately turn your awareness away. This is no Pollyanna gibberish.

As soon as your focus of awareness is switched the physical symptoms will vanish. It requires a knack, but it is simpler than it sounds, and you can master it. This only requires that you give suggestions to your subconscious. Tell it that it knows how to perform this manipulation, and suggest that it do so the next time you are in difficulty.

(Seth began by stating that he liked to sit in with us only as an interested participant, without bothering about notes, etc. Jane, he said, could use the practice of switching focus; and we did have the effect of a conversation among five people instead of four. There follow a few quotes from Seth as I noted them down, with some hints from Bill, Peggy and myself.)

—Ruburt can use this practice. You see now we are using a very speedy change of focus. This ability can serve us in the future to our advantage.
