“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(10:15.) It is quite true to say that Ruburt has hypnotized himself into his physical condition, because in the past to some extent he believed it necessary. [...]

[...] It is not simply that disease is disease, and relationships are relationships, but that the individual generally tries to achieve the best possible conditions for a satisfying spiritual, emotional and physical existence according to beliefs and intents.

[...] The same applies, for example, to national conditions, until finally the ignored areas become so obvious that something must be done.

[...] The exercises in spontaneity on your part will help to improve the hand condition, for you have been tampering here.

As far as possible, take your conscious mind away from the condition. [...]

Now and again, do not overemphasize this next exercise, for the condition with the penis is after all but a symptom. [...]

Now I understand that to one closely and daily involved with the woman, it is difficult to see purpose or reason in the condition. [...] But the inner self of the woman knows that in facing such a condition and finding nevertheless some moments of joy, even some compassion for others, that the personality has satisfied many of those feelings of inadequacy from the past existence. [...]

[...] No (underlined) physical condition is irreversible, with the exception of loss of limbs and definite organs. [...]

The Framework-2 activity is having results, and will have more, particularly with Ruburt’s condition—and I bid you a fond good evening. [...]

The situation with Ruburt is such that conditions like the hand are transitory, as with other conditions that bothered him and left. [...]

[...] The sinus condition has always been to some extent aggravated by the smoking habit, and there are also other conditions which will largely vanish. [...]

[...] No particular episodes alone, though they may seem to do so, ever cause a particular condition, say, of illness, though such episodes may be used as catalysts. [...] Fears should not he inhibited, but encountered, and yet behind all of them, in your time at least, lies the feeling that the individual is powerless against the conditions of his body or the events of the world.

There are other reasons, however, that have added up to a feeling of powerlessness on Ruburt’s part in regard to his physical condition. [...]

[...] He should not overestimate the poor points of his condition. [...]

[...] His physical (underlined) condition is not as bad therefore as it appears. [...]

He should not compare his physical condition with your own, however, but feel himself unfold and open. [...]

[...] I tried writing it down so that I could read it to Jane: “Why did the personality adopt a course of action—being out of condition, say—that eventually came to assume such proportions in life that the focus upon it equaled, or even surpassed, the hours spent in the creative actions of writing that the personality said it wanted to do each day above everything else?”

[...] With such an edifice, Ruburt can only use his abilities under certain conditions, and he imagines all kinds of impulses, situations, or whatever, that might steal them away, or steal away the time necessary to express them. [...]

[...] Ruburt began to feel hopeless about his condition, more and more dissatisfied with it, yet no longer certain that he could dispense with it even if he made his mind up to do so. [...]

[...] As the condition of your planet in its entire political and social structure reflects the innermost neuroses in every individual, so indeed does the physical individual organism reflect the inner condition of each personality.

I have endeavored to study rather thoroughly the condition of the other male present in the room, yourself excluded, Joseph, because we find here an almost classic example of the manner in which the individual subconsciously creates physical matter, and the manner in which the psychological and psychic problems of the individual conspire so that the organic perfection becomes disturbed.

[...] Neither, therefore, is it aware of those distortions that cause it to construct faults within physical matter, for in all cases the physical matter of the human body will be subconsciously created in line with inner conditions.

[...] You can see however how such a temporary distortion could become, under certain conditions (that do not operate in your case) permanent.

(3. More on Jane’s eyes, since I know she’s worried and frightened by that condition of strain, as Seth described it in the last session.

(Jane agreed with the questions, saying her own applied to the eye condition also.)

[...] The loving encouragement, again, is highly important, for here you must change habits, both of you, of conditioning. [...]

[...] It is of utmost importance that you do not consider Ruburt’s physical condition in terms of “absolute ideals.”

(1. More on her eyes, and other physical conditions.

[...] The body is not just a physical entity, however, nor is its working completely the result of the condition of all of its parts. [...]

[...] Feelings and emotion caused tensions under certain conditions that are not necessarily physically apparent, but that change the body. [...]

[...] This state, added to his physical condition, is responsible for his feelings. [...]

[...] While the emphasis in our last sessions has been mainly on Ruburt’s condition, there is a definite overall general application, and this portion of the material will someday be used, though not verbatim, in a book having to do with my ideas on health.

[...] At this time however conditions are very plastic.

[...] A period of time where the issue is uncertain on both the part of your present landlord and your prospective buyer. (Florence Halliday, who was once an ESP student of Jane’s.) This, again because of the psychic conditions involved, is highly plastic. [...]

Be careful of the suggestion “I will sell all the paintings that I want to sell,” for you are setting up conditions and limitations. [...]

[...] Since the session for January 18 was held, Jane has noted some dramatic improvement in her condition since she began following these ideas. [...]

He is terrified of vulnerability because of his mother’s condition when he was a child. [...]

[...] His mother often said that her condition might have been the result of bad teeth also, and the two are connected in his mind.

It was the only thing that set him apart under welfare conditions, the mark of distinction that got him to college by the skin of his teeth, and it was, he felt, what made you love him. [...]

[...] As you know, you can become critically alert, but when you do so, you realize that you are not in your normal waking condition.

When this occurs, you will be able to use your normal abilities in addition to those of the dream condition. [...]

Only then can you fully begin to manipulate the conditions that exist and communicate this knowledge that you receive to the ego. [...]

[...] Unfortunately, my critical sense was fully awakened only toward the end of the experience, though I made several valiant efforts to understand my condition.

Each of you will find habitual thought patterns in your own life backed up by resulting action — conditioned behavior as it were — by which you continually reinforce negative aspects, concentrate upon them to the exclusion of conflicting data, and so bring them into experience through natural hypnosis.

[...] You give yourselves post-hypnotic suggestions all the time, particularly when you project present conditions into the future. [...]

[...] Because the reasons for any such conditions can be so diverse, then life should be encouraged even in the face of deformities. If the consciousness involved has its own reasons for living, then it will make the most of even the most dire conditions. [...]

Ruburt’s condition now, then, involves the whole body in a natural fashion. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s fairly guarded attitude toward the working men to some extent impeded the relaxation necessary, so that the condition overall improved in the schedule I gave, without the ensuing eye improvement I mentioned. [...]

To do so, you must first of all remind yourself frequently that the physical condition is symbolic — not a permanent condition. [...]

If however you imagine that the environment or physical condition is the reality, then you can feel trapped by it, and spend your efforts fighting a paper dragon. [...] There is instant feedback between the interior and exterior conditions, but the mobility, the necessity and the method of changing the physical environment will always come from within.

[...] The power to change your own condition is your own. [...]

[...] It involves some projection, I think, and is one of those dreams where I was now and then aware of my dreaming condition. [...]
