“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] He is left with body conditioning, habitual suggestions that cause the body’s condition.

[...] This will help break the connection in conditioning, and is a first step, and a necessary one. [...] I’ll try it,” which allows a breathing space and a slight weakening of previous conditioning, in which he is no longer taking negative beliefs as fact, but looking at them as beliefs.

[...] Today’s mixture of walking, stimulation and facing the public (while shopping) is highly advantageous, but he should compare his condition not with others but with his reality.

[...] Another version stresses the economic area, foreseeing the collapse of the economy, anarchy, and other conditions that pit one individual against the other.

Good mental or physical health can hardly flourish under such conditions. [...]

These food ideas are important, since they are passed on from parents to children, and parents often use food as a way of rewarding a child’s good behavior, thus starting the youngster out toward conditions of overweight.

[...] If you consider illness as a kind of moral stigma, then you will simply add an unneeded quality to any condition of ill health.

[...] Under such conditions you can even seek out illness to prove to yourself the strength of your own spirituality — and to impress it upon others. [...]

[...] Each of you have been members of different races, and so each of you have shared in both the advantages and ignominies attached, in historic terms, to such conditions of birth.

The body is responding to the new conditions. [...] He is adjusting to the new conditions.

[...] Physically the condition resulted there. [...]

[...] The imagination will follow, painting dire mental pictures of a particular condition. [...]

[...] In such a case belief would also be involved: Such a person would have to believe that an unhealthy condition was the best way to serve another purpose.

[...] It is only when you believe that consciousness must be attuned only to exterior conditions that you force it to cut itself off from inner knowledge, intuitional “voices,” and the depths from which it springs.

[...] The condition originating in one incident some time ago, and further aggravated by a second incident in more recent times. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The condition leads at times to a bunching of muscles in the side of the neck in precisely this area (Jane touched the right side of her neck) that can occasionally appear almost as a hardish lump. [...]

[...] This puts the body chemistry in an unbalanced condition.

Two days later, the conditions had completely changed. [...]

[...] But the event provided us with an obvious clue—any body that can undergo so spontaneous a change can hardly be one that’s permanently fixed in a stiffened condition.... [...] We also wanted Seth to comment on Jane’s eye condition, which lately has taken a variety of states, some of them momentarily excellent.

[...] The response was immediate, spontaneous, and as complete as the moment and his physical condition allowed. [...]

[...] The eye condition is not separate, and now the more active muscles are arousing greater activity on the part of the ligaments, which will begin to loosen the joints considerably. [...]

[...] Feelings of pessimism regarding Ruburt’s condition are detrimental. [...]

[...] Then as we went to bed she brought up two additional subjects to discuss, for those who would wonder: why we hadn’t more actively sought medical help in the past for her physical condition; and the many private, or deleted, sessions Seth himself has given for her over the years.

Seth gave so many sessions that were devoted to my own physical condition that I finally became embarrassed and confused: The sessions were obviously terrific—why couldn’t I put them to more practical use?

[...] The more middlemen that I entertained between my physical condition and my personal beliefs, the more confused I thought I’d be.

[...] If I’d felt I was suffering a heart attack, for example, I knew I would rush to the hospital, but this was a chronic condition. [...]

(Tonight Jane said she thought she’d “done a damn good job” of keeping her mind off her condition, especially while painting and writing—all the time except when “something hurt quite a bit.” [...]

For example, Ruburt might think “I must make up my mind, go out into the world, do lectures and tours, state my case, be an excellent example of the material, not only in normal physical condition but in glowing health.” [...]

[...] This means that the relaxation of the back muscles and ligaments is allowing new stretching of ligaments connected with the knee, and the condition might be reversed the next day, or in an hour. [...]

[...] When you are awake for periods of time during those hours, very refreshing conditions exist mentally and physically. [...]

[...] Your father’s condition as always had these implications, and it did not escape him that your father, in his mental condition, is put in a wheelchair and restrained forcibly. [...]

[...] There are no karmic influences that necessitate the particular physical condition (in Jane).

[...] We are going to keep on with this to get all the important points out while conditions are good.

[...] He was quite appalled at the conditions once he had set them up. [...]

[...] Under certain conditions water turns into ice. [...]

[...] A ring manipulated at a seance under controlled conditions is but the most simple kind of demonstration of the great ability of mind to interact with matter. [...]

So viruses can be beneficial or deadly according to the condition, state, and needs of the body at any given time. [...]

[...] Your bodies have been conditioned to it through the use of such medications since birth. [...]

[...] Some can only be glimpsed in distorted form because of other “natural” conditions that you cannot perceive. [...]

[...] His mother’s condition made him ask questions, of course, concerning man’s condition, at a very early age. [...] Again, he was in no way responsible for his mother’s condition, however, or for her unhappiness, nor is he in those terms responsible for the unhappy situations of other people. [...]

The physical condition itself, on that level (pause), is caused (long pause) by “improper” relationships—that is, things not working together well, though the parts themselves are not diseased, per se—and that is the result of stress, habitually applied, of bodily habits. [...]

The physical condition is the mirror of that attitude. [...]

[...] You condition your body to behave in general overall patterns. You condition it to react in certain ways. [...]

What is not understood is that the same sort of conditioning also operates, not only in the reaction to events but in the formation of events. [...]

[...] It does not try to form life conditions that offer no challenges, quite the reverse in fact. [...]

[...] A trial-and-error system is (underlined) involved; but inner processes are reflected rather quickly in these cases upon the physical condition.

[...] She wanted more data on her physical condition tonight.

[...] These included promised material on my “probability dreams” involving family members; Jane’s hang-ups about finishing the two Seven novels she has started; and whether her teeth might have anything to do with her eye condition.

Your attitudes before—and after—our last session, about Ruburt’s condition, can be equated however with precisely such uncreative and cowed frames of mind. [...]

[...] Yet such uncreative attitudes have often, now, hampered you in that direction of Ruburt’s condition, so that you programmed yourselves to expect disappointment.

Personally, Ruburt understands however that he exaggerated the negative elements of his condition, thinking that he was being realistic. [...] When you look at the world and interpret its condition in the same way, you end up in an impossible situation as a people, for your learned coping mechanisms themselves reinforce the situation.

[...] Until very recently, however, Ruburt did not recognize that he often placed the worst kind of connotations upon, for example, his own condition, or behavior in certain manners. [...]

Ruburt’s condition has vacillated through the years, yet always contained within it the great thrusts toward health, and the improvements. [...]

[...] He had nothing to do with making his mother a cripple, nor does his fear, hatred or scorn of her keep her in that condition.

It is advisable that you not discuss Ruburt’s condition after a session of this nature, but turn your minds to some other interest before retiring.

[...] He has already learned a lesson, in that that same concentration can be applied to change the condition of this own psyche and physical body.

[...] I will go more deeply into the whole affair—perhaps our next session can include, as this one has, a section on Ruburt’s condition first, and then a discussion of other matters.

[...] In my “waking” condition, I operate at many levels of consciousness at once, and deal therefore with different systems of knowledge. In my “dream” condition, or rather conditions, I form links of consciousness that combine these various systems, creatively forming them into new versions. [...]

One level of dream life deals particularly with the biological condition of the body, giving you not just hints of health difficulties, but the reasons for them and the ways to circumvent them. [...]

The whole idea was developed in the most mechanistic of terms, stressing competition among all aspects of life, pitting one life form against another, and using physical strength and dexterity, swiftness and efficiency, as the prime conditions for the survival of any individual or species.

(Long pause at 4:12.) Politically as well as medically, such distortions have led to unfortunate conditions: the Aryan-supremacy biological ideas fostered in the second world war, the concentration upon “the perfect body,” and other distortions. [...]

[...] Those who do not realize that they are dead are here told of their true condition, and all efforts are made to refresh the energies and spirits. [...]

[...] Conditions and development are important, rather than the length an individual stays in this area. [...]
