“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Suggestion, so-called, is little understood. The word perhaps is a poor one. Yet to an important extent your world runs by suggestion. Suggestion is simply an impetus to act in given directions. Your social, political, religious, economic and medical areas of life are all built upon certain assumed suggestions that people agree to accept as standards of behavior. The word “standards” is important, for in certain terms through such “obedience, “ through such compliance, they are given recognizable patterns into which their most personal experience can flow.

They are given recognizable patterns through which their experience with others, and with the community, can flow. They are given certain more or less predictable frameworks in which to experience their lives.

Because you do not rely upon mass suggestions and mass frameworks, it is then highly vital that you learn to set up your own alternate patterns. You do this from scratch, where of course most people have not set themselves such challenges or opportunities for creativity.

The career would have fallen into conventional pattern for money’s sake. Your understanding, stretched somewhat by earlier ideas, would have fallen backward, so that you ever strained against it. You would have had physical difficulties of quite important natures.
