[...] They formed through concentrations of energy. [...]

But energy forms depend upon strong, very powerful concentrations of energy whether thought or emotion is involved. [...]

[...] They begin around the back of my right ear like tiny circles suddenly turning; or clock wheels that had been wound too tightly, being released; then the motion spreads out in concentric circles, up to the right eye, and down to the right jaw. [...]

(Long pause at 9:23.) I have said this before: the best way to solve a problem is to concentrate upon various solutions vigorously—and then to turn your minds to other subjects, divert yourselves while allowing the creative power some freedom. [...]

(10:10.) Ruburt has been worrying, rather than concentrating upon his creative work. [...]

[...] He is not to count the negative thoughts, for that is not the kind of concentration we want.

[...] Concentrate, remember those feelings of faith, and encourage them in the other.

[...] She tried to do more today, but couldn’t concentrate upon it. [...]

[...] In concentrated form this could be seen on the bottoms of the feet particularly. [...]

As the number of rejected impulses grows, more and more energy is of course concentrated in this area, the energy that is inherent within the impulses themselves. [...]

It feels the concentration of energy that has collected to form the rejected action patterns, and indeed it may feel that this unified rejection pattern is then even an enemy to its own superiority. [...]

Concentrate upon the present moment — but more, concentrate upon the most pleasant aspects of the present moment. [...]

Outward extensions of the self can be more clearly objectified, the concentration at the outward extensions being less, and identity correlations being kept in more concentrated areas within the boundaries of the physical self. [...]

(First we concentrated on trying to move a small brass ring lying on the table between us, without success. [...] Next we sat in our living area, away from the windows, and concentrated on our Kennedy rocker. [...]

[...] The group was not with us when we tried moving the ring; it was with us when we concentrated upon the rocker. [...]

[...] He should understand this by now, but the effort, energy and concentration that is expended. Now, it is to be expected that he expend energy and that he concentrate with some thoroughness, but at times he becomes emotionally weary as a result of expending huge amounts of energy within a small amount of time, comparatively speaking.

[...] Unless he narrows his focus and concentration to concentrate upon the present individual during a session, Seth told us he sees a composite image, an energy reality that is composed of past personalities, and in many cases also of future personalities that will be adopted by the inner self.)

It did Ruburt good to talk with his friend, for he has been concentrating with too much vigor of late.

[...] Ruburt’s concentrated work on our test data today simply resulted in his strained efforts on my behalf. [...]

[...] It is silly, however, in the same way to force yourself to concentrate at a time when you really yearn for activity. [...]

Naturally concentration becomes difficult. [...]

The crisis situation led him to concentrate upon his difficulties, which aggravated his stress, of course. The discomfort and concentration cut down on his creative abilities, which added to the problem. [...]

To a large extent you ended up concentrating upon the problem, so that it loomed ever larger in your minds, and therefore in your experience. [...]

[...] Everyone concentrated to pick up what they could. [...]

Now, I’ve said this before, you concentrate very nicely upon the similarities that exist in the phenomena of the physical world, and you ignore what is not similar of a large field of available data. [...]

(10:19.) You will do this by concentrating upon what you want, but feeling no conflict between that and what you have, because one will not contradict the other; each will be seen as a reflection of belief in daily life. [...] But concentration upon the present unhealthy situation will only prolong it. [...]

[...] But in such a case you must concentrate upon the attribute — not, for example, upon the fact that you have not used it well thus far.

[...] You cannot concentrate upon worries and expect psychic baubles to fall into your lap. [...]

Care then should be taken to concentrate on the daily matters at hand—his writing, and to avoid conscious concentration upon the state of his health or the progress of healing. [...]

This will effectively have him concentrate his attention where it belongs, while the inner self follows through on the suggestion which he has given.

[...] He does very well at this, but during this time have him concentrate on the imagination, and not give conscious suggestions to himself for he then becomes too heavy-handed.

[...] Again, any signs of progress should be encouraged, noticed, and concentrated upon. [...]

[...] No day should be spent concentrating on ways to get rid of the symptoms, as today.

These are points, therefore, of concentrated energy. [...]

(10:31.) The concentrated energy points are activated by emotional intensities that are well within your normal range. [...]

[...] Nor do I. Perhaps, even knowing Jane’s unique creative abilities as well as we do, we’re each somewhat daunted by the thought that consciously we might not be able to concentrate enough on two such projects at once. [...]

[...] Read something in the paper about concentration on illness causing pain, and that reminded me of some ideas I had last night. [...]

Both of you however have a tendency to dig inward, and to concentrate upon negatives. [...]

[...] Pitiful or not, the two of you have been concentrating too much upon your physical problems. [...]

[...] Concentration upon the problem to such an extent does not allow the inner self the freedom to help you solve it, and a condition arises where you expect the worst and bring it therefore about.

(Also, I took exception to some statements made in the session this evening particularly that we concentrated too much upon the physical problems—granted that we created the problems, I could not understand how we were not supposed to pay any attention to the difficulties Jane had walking, etc, There was much more, and it’s not necessary to detail it all here.
