“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is the ego of course that concentrates so intently upon physical reality and physical problems, as well as challenges. When Ruburt utilizes other focuses and turns his consciousness in other than directly-physical areas, when he turns several angles away, then to some extent (underlined) he frees himself to some degree from beliefs, but certainly from their effects. The mode of orientation is simply not the same.

As he knows, he switches on an easy gear. In certain stages of consciousness, beliefs can be changed more easily, but there must be of course an insertion from the normal egotistical level in most (underlined) instances.

Far from beliefs being embedded in the so-called unconscious, they are relatively speaking more plastic there. Beliefs are strongest at precisely the point of conscious impact upon the physical environment. The belief, any belief, is a conscious formation of ideas that are accepted as physical truth. The energy for the beliefs comes from other levels, of course. Without the energy the beliefs would wither.

(Long pause at 9:42.) In certain terms alterations of consciousness involved you in experiences of an angular nature, where perception uses physical reality as a basis, but forms angles from it. In certain terms the physical world can (underlined) be said to be opaquely perceived then, while other perceptions become clearer, but the normally conscious attention (underlined) is no longer so dominant, and even normal beliefs go into a momentary withdrawal.

They are activated again of course upon the next usual impact of ego consciousness with the environment. Ruburt believes in his inner agility. It is only with the impact of body and environment, of course, that he has difficulty. The free-wheeling states of consciousness can therefore be of help to him, the free-wheeling characteristic being primarily in relationship to physical reality. His intentness then is translated or transferred away from the normal environment.
