“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: the small morning statement I gave you each to read (in the deleted session for August 17, 1977) has worked. Why? Because for one thing it was general enough so that it did not bring any immediate details into your minds, and left plenty of room for action in an overall manner. It directed your thoughts and expectations again in an overall manner.

Those suggestions give room for action. He should use them daily. There is no such thing as hypnosis—or, all thoughts involve hypnosis. In a way each statement is true. Your political campaigns involve hypnosis, which simply means concentrated suggestion.

Suggestions always imply an impetus directing action. Your entire household is a suggestive structure. Your writing room, Joseph, is a physical reminder of your intents, filled with not only books and papers, but the implied suggestion that gives them reality. It is of course no coincidence that you have a writing room and a studio—not simply one or the other, so that the two rooms show the two important interests of your life.

All of this happens quite automatically, yet it is the result of your conscious decisions along the way. Hypnosis then involves concentrated stimulus toward action of a certain kind. Everyone uses it, regardless of the terms. It works well because at the time impediments are intentionally cut to a minimum, and the details involved that are necessary are part of an overall plan.
