“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] As Jane continued to talk, her image did slowly begin to change in the mirror. Her head began to drop lower between Bill and I. At the same time, the shape of the skull changed, the hair grew shorter and fit around it much more closely. [...]

[...] flesh with a cold white light; there was no radiant effect, merely the changing color of the flesh itself.

(Since the hand was in shadow to begin with, there was no mistaking the change.

[...] See the color change, see the shadows in the palm disappear? [...]

[...] Aloud I asked for the candlelight to change, for the flame to rise. Instead, I felt a strange feeling of extension above my head and before I could comment on it, Rose and someone else —Sally?—called out that my aura had changed color and was now purple. Several more times this happened, aura changes taking place while I subjectively experienced this extension—the same feeling I have in the new sessions with Rob. [...] No suggestions were given as to aura here, though finally I did tell them when I had the feeling and ask if there was an aura change. [...]

[...] (I had never seen an aura.) It also changed color. [...]

Watching the hand in transition, changes apparent as they happened, joints and knuckles becoming very thick and large, flesh seeming to disappear so that hand became thinner otherwise,hand taking on the look of a very old woman’s, exceedingly bony, with the large, they said, exceptionally large, joints obvious; Rose frightened; Sally said the hand looked so stiff that it was here she asked me if I could bend the fingers, it was here I couldn’t answer her but did try to bend the hand; and at this point decided to give myself suggestions to come out of trance and for hand to return to normal. [...]

[...] In here also I concentrated on a ectoplastic arm without telling anyone and Theodore again reported without any suggestion from me that he thought he noticed a change in the same arm, and once thought it was about to rise. [...]

[...] As long as you believe your environment to be objective and independent of yourself, then to a large extent you feel powerless to change it, to see beyond it, or to imagine other alternatives that may be less apparent. Later in the book I will explain various methods that will allow you to change your environment beneficially and drastically.

[...] You will feel relatively incompetent to handle present physical reality, to alter your environment, to affect and change your world, if you feel that you are at the mercy of conditions over which you have no control.

The reasons given for such subjugations matter little in the long run, for the reasons change with the times and with your culture. [...]

[...] Some definite overall changes in your environment are important, however. [...] Either your entire living arrangements here must be incorporated into a new unity or you must go someplace else, for you need a symbol of change. [...]

[...] They were dropped for several reasons, but mainly because he still did not understand that body beliefs were involved, and that these like the others could be changed.

[...] For the speediest overall improvement can be expected as each of you realize together and separately that the condition can be, and is being, changed for the better.

[...] It is that one area where each of you believed you had no power to change events, and that belief could impede your progress, at least, even when both of you want a change.

[...] It comes back to you as evidence when through the mail you see the books help people change the directions of their lives.

Ruburt must realize that his power and energy can, and indeed is, changing his body for the better. [...]

Released tension in the head area can also change both Ruburt’s depth perception and head pressure, as it lessens. [...]

[...] I am quite aware that these changes were also accompanied by possible changes in belief, since we’d talked about what we were doing, obviously. [...] I do think I’ve seen similar temporary changes in belief before, without the accompanying changes in the hands and knees. More minor changes, possibly [though offhand I don’t recall them], but nothing like what’s now taking place. [...]

[...] My original idea was simply to offer the physical body some help it could use, even regardless of the beliefs involved, and to use that help as a springboard for changing certain beliefs. I don’t believe any medication or vitamins—or anything else, for that matter—are going to do a person any good without a change in belief. That change would come about in a socially acceptable way through the medication.

[...] To me it speaks very clearly of forces holding back, of resisting changing the status quo. [...] Instead they seek to perpetuate their existence as surely as any other living organism does, and in certain senses come to appear to be irrational, in that they seem unable to understand that certain beneficial changes would perpetuate their own lives as well as that of their host, whom they are damaging overly much. [...]

[...] Feelings will appear more often in the changing mobility of water, wind, weather, skies and changing color. Any physical ailment, then, can be perceived in this state by looking inward into the body and discovering it; then by changing what you see you may find yourself entering your body or another’s as a very small miniature, or as a point of light, or simply without any substance, yet aware of the inner body environment.

[...] Having made it the present is changed, and quite clearly you perceive exactly the way it is changed and what actions and events will flow from the change into the future that belongs to that particular alternate present.

(9:54.) You change what needs to be changed in whatever way occurs to you, then — by directing the body’s energy in that direction, by entering the flesh and bringing certain portions together that need this adjustment, by manipulating areas of the spine. [...]

A dark and largely brooding inner landscape should alert you, so that you begin immediately to change it. [...]

[...] Your personality per se changes in this life. [...] The components of Ruburt’s personality and of your own, Joseph, have changed since our sessions began. Now, Ruburt’s whole personality had to assimilate the knowledge that he was receiving, but this automatically changed the personality from what it was.

This may seem to have little to do with our discussion concerning experience after death, and yet it has; for as you feel yourselves change now and experience the various alterations in your own personalities, you will not be afraid of those changes after death.

(Jane asked me if I noticed any physical changes in her face toward the last, since she was so strongly aware of Seth. [...] I think it quite possible that Jane’s emotional appreciation of the Seth personality accounted for the changes as she was involved in delivering the material.)

[...] There will be changes to come in your own work, and you are now reaching toward them.

(Long pause.) The changing condition of the eyes shows the kind of cycles that occur: the upper edges, so to speak, of improvements continue, so that each new improvement is, obviously, superior to the last. [...] Those changes do indeed seem mysterious. [...]

[...] You do not simply change, or enlarge, your ideas or beliefs about the past — but you change the events of the past themselves for yourself, and sometimes for others also.

(“Do you want to say something about our discussion yesterday, about changing the past from the present?” I felt that Seth was bound to agree with Jane’s version of what he’d said, rather than mine.

— that focus changes, so do the events.

[...] If through the concentrated use of psychic energy your body is cured by such a healer, you will also simply trade those symptoms for others unless you change your initial beliefs. Now sometimes a healer or a doctor, with his effectiveness in healing a condition, will show you by inference that the healing energy was always within yourself, and this realization may be enough to allow you to change your beliefs about health entirely.

[...] Whatever methods or drugs he uses will not be effective unless this change of belief takes place.

[...] The interactions continue with the patient trying to please the doctor, and at best merely changing from one group of symptoms to another. [...]

The naming and labelling of “diseases” is a harmful practice that to a large extent denies the innate mobility and ever-changing quality of the psyche as expressed in flesh. [...]

[...] Even though the physical image as such had been left behind, the individuals were not able to change their focus of attention away from the physical system.

[...] It is obviously beneficial to learn now to change your own direction of attention away from your physical system. [...]

There is release also, you see, for the body consciousness, which as you know then changes to other forms. [...]

I will tell you this (pause, eyes open):Neither of you realize as yet the full extent of Ruburt’s inner change of mind, his commitment now to our work, the commitment of his abilities to these matters for his lifetime.

[...] Those body beliefs are now in the process of changing. As they change, bringing about improvements, you find them in reality as you understand it. [...]

The vitamins do serve to help in the extra work being done by the body, of repair, although without the change in beliefs they would not be effective. [...]

[...] These are vital and they are rather swiftly occurring as Ruburt’s habitual thoughts begin to change.

Now balance has changed, so that the new beliefs outweigh the old ones and allow the body to respond.

[...] The past changes, even as in your terms, say, a river does—only the changes go out in all directions. [...]

[...] Whenever you come into difficulties, it is because you are still relying upon Framework 1’s authority, in which normal cause and effect operates, in which problems are solved by exaggerating them, and in which magical changes or alterations are considered out of context to normal living. “Magical” changes happen all the time. [...]

[...] In any society, as young people come to maturity, they begin to weigh their individualistic version of reality against the adult authoritative one, and in one way or another, as they attain adulthood, they change the system to whatever degree.

[...] You are telling it to change, when all of its instincts, you see, are to maintain stability, and in your country, at least, that stability has been large enough and flexible enough so that you are being financially rewarded, to whatever degree, for promoting ideas that run counter to the deepest beliefs of that system.

(Pause at 8:43.) It attracted you—you felt the pull of needed change (with gestures), but this change had a new sense of attraction. [...]

There are intersections, changes, of spiritual direction, say, of course occurring constantly in your world. There are also certain times when these are taken advantage of, where change is in the air, for example, for those with courage and good intent. [...]

[...] That had made me angry: I felt that it at least offered an avenue of exploration, that perhaps we could use it as an avenue for changing beliefs. [...]

[...] I’m hoping and trusting that such beneficial changes will continue to take place. [...]

[...] Others will be simply shapes that change swiftly and seem to flow one into the other. As a rule, even the images that are recognizable will quickly be replaced by others in a kaleidoscope of constantly changing forms.

[...] The form of symbols is changed as the states of consciousness change.

If you let yourself lie still longer with eyes closed, the symbolism would continue to change character, losing perhaps some of its visual characteristics and growing more intense in other directions. [...]

Any of these changing characteristics of symbols should alert you to the altered state of your consciousness. [...]

[...] Do not be afraid of change, for you are change, and you change as you sit before me. All action is change, for otherwise there would be a static universe, and then indeed death would be the end. [...]

[...] Therefore, to change your world, it is yourself you must change. You must change what you project.

“Change with the seasons, for you are more than the seasons. [...]

The Seth Material has completely changed my ideas of the nature of reality, and reinforced my sense of identity. [...]

—your situation is indeed changing for the better. [...] The changes within a 3-year period will be drastic in terms of abundance, and fame.

[...] Some of your own attitudes had to be changed. [...]

Ruburt is coming to new understanding that is definitely changing the health pattern. [...]

[...] Jane said she must have changed. [...]

[...] Your beliefs and actions in your present alter “their” experiences, as each of them, in their presents, change yours. [...] The whole self is changed by all of its comprehensions.

I am speaking to you both individually and for the book here: Any point in your present is a potential point of great creative change, but because of the rhythms spoken of, it is easier for changes to occur in certain cycles.

[...] There are as yet undiscovered, bizarre changes in the brain during certain dream states, an acceleration that quite literally propels the consciousness out of its usual space-time continuum into those other realities from which it comes.

[...] En masse they imply great historical changes.

Your motorcycle suggestions on their own are worth a barrel of gold, for the change in image it infers, and for other reasons. [...] He knows he wants to move furniture, to change the environment. [...]

This requires alterations of patterns of sleep, that take time to change, but it can be done without completely changing from a day to night system. [...]

[...] First of all, our private session...You did an excellent job of recognizing the Nebene characteristics in yourself, and changing the nature of their direction. [...]

[...] His inner self-image is changing. [...]

[...] Frank’s diagnosis of the beneficial changes in muscles, ligaments and strength, is quite accurate, though even he is unable to deduce such other deeper changes.

[...] It is not noticeable as it could be because they are, the legs, still in a process of change that involves the entire body. That is why he noticed the change for the better in bed, when he tried stretching his legs with no weight upon them.
