“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your expectations alone will change your material circumstances. The belief that you can afford the kind of car you require will in itself form the circumstances that will make such an automobile literally possible.

Your belief otherwise automatically shuts you off so that the necessary climate, the psychic climate, is a barrier to what you want. The belief will cause attractions, in which physical circumstances will change. It is highly impractical to believe as you do, regarding your automobile or prospects, for another.

They are made material through quite automatic processes. Change your beliefs and you change your material circumstances. Your beliefs now concerning finances and the automobile are actually keeping you from bettering your financial situation. This is directly caused by the fact that you suspect such ideas as these, beneficial on theoretical grounds, but quite impractical in your actuality.

On the contrary, an understanding of the rule of expectation is the one truly practical step you can take whenever any change in physical circumstances is desired. You must replace the negative images you have with positive ones. The negative ones are being faithfully reproduced in physical terms, and this is hardly to your advantage.

[...] I am telling you that when your entire physical circumstances appear hopeless to you, then you must change them, or honestly admit that these are the circumstances within which you must work, and not fool yourself. And when you do not feel that the physical circumstances are worthwhile, that you are not getting enough out of them, that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, then you must change them. [...]

[...] In your particular circumstances, because of Ruburt’s background, you see the physical manifestation of both of your fears—an incapability of motion.

[...] Ruburt has been afraid, because of his background, to accept the negative aspects of your exterior circumstances. [...]

[...] Ruburt is only too aware of the fact that he pushed to leave Sayre, and that your circumstances afterward in Florida were negative. [...]

[...] It is of course always available during sessions if circumstances are good.

[...] Any such questions should be inserted as quietly as possible under those circumstances.

When specific details are mentioned under such circumstances you may gently probe: “Is there more?” or “Do you see more?” or “Are you there?” These are general permissive questions that allow him leeway. [...]

[...] Obviously under usual circumstances this would have no such effects. [...]

A Pennsylvania connection, distant, and a hospital perhaps, Ruburt knows of this circumstance.

An unknown circumstance concerning your friends which will not be discovered until later, perhaps middle of next week.

Now when circumstances are good we had better take advantage of them. [...] Now, it will not particularly serve any great or awesome purpose for me to thus appear in this guise nor to raise my voice in a way quite impossible for this rather puny young woman, and yet because the circumstances are so auspicious I am so tempted. [...]

[...] Circumstances must be beneficial. [...]

[...] When circumstances are at their best then he allows me to come through clearly, but he is concerned over issues that are only of surface importance as far as the volume of the voice is concerned, and he is only now learning control. [...]

[...] I will under the circumstances give you a short session. [...] You cannot say that I am rigid, since I will try to take your circumstances into consideration.

[...] However I do prefer that their regularity be maintained and I am perfectly agreeable now and then to making them briefer, due to circumstances. [...]

Actually it is merely the change in circumstances that has made you weary, and the effect will not last.

Predetermination is never involved, for the challenge and circumstances are chosen. [...] Some personalities want to solve their strongest problems and get them over with, perhaps in a series of rather trying existences and exaggerated circumstances.

[...] As this is done, the exterior circumstances should change for the better as the inner self becomes more aware of its own nature and capabilities. [...]

Now: It is not necessary that you learn about your own past lives, though it may be helpful if you understand that you chose the circumstances of your birth this time.

[...] You cannot justify or rationalize present circumstances by saying, “This is because of something I did in a past life,” for within yourself now is the ability to change negative influences. [...]

[...] Even in such cases, however, at some extent or another the individual can indeed start over — or at least those closest to the person in question can begin to see a larger framework of existence in which even the most dire of physical circumstances are somehow redeemed.

Life, however, is far too profound and multitudinous, and requires great depths of emotional response and action that could never be satisfied adequately by any given set of circumstances, however favorable.

In some lives, then, you are born in fortunate circumstances, and in others you may find an environment of poverty and want. [...]

[...] Another individual, under the same circumstances, might change its mind and decide to go along with the experience of normal life.

Particular suggestions given in a group of closely allied sessions for him are geared to his condition at that time, and to the circumstances. While the reasons and beliefs as discussed in such sessions will still be valid, the suggestions that I give will be geared toward their application in given circumstances.

[...] The 3-hour-a-day recommendations were given under different circumstances.

[...] There are a variety actually of methods that can help him—various ones at different times, according to his circumstances.

[...] Certainly I have suggested in the past that he go out, but in line with the circumstances at the time, and the condition to which his beliefs had led him.

[...] You see, there are also other circumstances which could be noted, to your advantage, such as the phases of the moon, and others which would be more difficult to ascertain.

The physical circumstances which you may discover should never be interpreted as conditions in themselves, under which we operate with varying degrees of efficiency, again, but merely as interconnecting correlations between two sets of intangibles. [...]

It should be noted however, that with the exception of several other circumstances the various levels of the subconscious can be found to fall within definite temperature ranges. [...]

I pick up the impression of a series of confusing circumstances earlier today, for our Dr. Instream. [...]

[...] This makes it difficult for me to speak to her specifically, for it is not easy for me then to look into her circumstances. [...] But so far, while you are interested, you have not quite allowed me to probe into your circumstances easily.

[...] You want so badly, you see, that the very power of your own desire in these circumstances frightens you off.

[...] In any case it is simply that the answers would do you no good under such circumstances.

[...] She did not initiate the circumstance.

If you shy away from dramatic public exhibitions of emotionalism under the best circumstances, then here you are faced with a situation in which you see it thrust upon you by someone you love, and in your eyes under the poorest of circumstances. The physical conditions, the floor, the act of dancing when others are not, these circumstances are not to your liking. [...]

[...] The fact remains that the circumstances brought about an imminent development. If those particular circumstances had not occurred, then the next similar set of circumstances would have served the same purpose.

[...] As Ruburt suspects, granted the circumstances, subconscious controls were used. [...]

A circumstance involving a policeman. [...]

[...] (Pause.) And a new circumstance told to you, that serves to connect these events.

[...] Symbolically, you see, and beneath it all, both men showed characteristics that under different circumstances could have led them into violence for the sake of their beliefs.

[...] They were psychically adding to the unfortunate circumstances over which they argued, and both equally were at fault for this reason. [...]

It is wrong to think that restraint under such circumstances or discussions is cowardly, though of course, it may be. [...]

[...] Now the stability and intensity of the force field is somewhat dependent upon other circumstances, including atmospheric circumstances at your end. [...]

[...] The methods vary according to their circumstances and your own. [...]

On occasion, when circumstances are unusually favorable, an apparition can appear at such times, because of the power and plastic nature of the force field involved. [...]

For one thing, dependable overall use of the pendulum would ideally entail some moments each day, so that rapport could be established under even circumstances, without the pressure, say, of wanting to know about a problem or a symptom. [...]

[...] It does take some time to understand why the pendulum answers as it does, but it will be responding not only to your question but to the greater framework and the emotional circumstances connected with it. [...]

[...] Had there been considerable danger for example, that danger would have overridden other circumstances in your case. [...]

In like circumstances with the pendulum, you might ask it: “Are you saying this to calm my fears?”

In actuality, people in those circumstances are often so frightened of the use of power that the idea of being under constant surveillance actually lends them a sense of protection.

The point is, that in such circumstances the person will try to use evidence from the outside world to prove that he is indeed being pursued.

It must be thoroughly understood that under no circumstances is the personality a static or motionless construction. [...]

[...] In many cases it may appear as if exterior circumstances formed such inner shifts, changing the whole unifying structure of the personality, and shifting the personality into what would appear to be entirely uncharacteristic activities.

In most circumstances the arrangement is an excellent working operation. [...]

[...] The secondary personality, however, is of course a reality in many circumstances. [...]

I abhor fanaticism of any type yet I do not feel, myself, that a sincere request under ordinary circumstances should be denied. It is true that conditions were far from ordinary on the evening when Ruburt’s father and the poor personality of the woman were here, and under such circumstances generally, I would certainly not recommend a session.

[...] Jane and I are curious to see if there is any similarity in entity names under such circumstances, and I will make it a point to ask Seth for the name.)

[...] Neither of us seriously considered holding a session for Jane’s father and Midge, due to the turbulent circumstances.)

Legitimate, balanced psychic journeyings will result in a beneficial effect as far as the ego and its ability to handle its concerns are involved; and whenever such journeyings or investigations result in a lessening of egotistic control over circumstance then anyone so involved should instantly ask himself questions, and abruptly halt.

[...] The young woman you did not know is in severe difficulty, and unless her method of operation changes, there will be tragic circumstances, indeed. [...]

This must be done immediately and upon every such occasion and under every such circumstance. [...]

And I will have more to say to you concerning this evening, and the earlier circumstances, which you do not understand.
