“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. You condition your body to behave in general overall patterns. You condition it to react in certain ways. It mimics perfectly your psychic and mental reactions.

The inner self therefore uses the physical system to express its own inclinations and ideas of reality. It is the inner self that unfolds those patterns of behavior spoken about in the article you read on infant growth. (In a recent issue of Time magazine.) Such unfoldings always occur from within, responding to signals not from the exterior but from the interior environment.

Now you may take your break and we will continue. Ruburt for example has found out what certain mental patterns will do to his image, and he is now attempting to undo the damage that became apparent. Without the damage he would not have accepted the obvious truths. Now the sculptor does at times identify with his sculpt, but never entirely, and it will help him if he remembers that he did the damage, and therefore can undo it.

Old negative patterns of thought, always present beneath an exterior optimism, had gone unrecognized by him, and were like a thorn in his side. Until these emerged physically he was not aware of them sufficiently enough to handle them effectively. They distorted his reality and his perceptions without his being aware of them.
