“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] If time ran backward very slowly, and according to the conditions, you might not be aware of the difference, because it would take so much “time” to get from the present moment to the one “before” it that you might be struck, instead, simply with the feeling that something was familiar, as if it had happened before.

[...] Each psyche, then, contains within it the potentials, abilities, and powers that are possible, or capable of actualization under any conditions.

[...] The condition, the mental condition, passed more or less unnoticed in the light of her known disabilities.

Had she seen a doctor on the 14th the condition would have been noticed, I believe.

[...] Therefore, when such a rigid, psychotic personality suddenly discovers a way for release through opening the subconscious, then the rigid rock at its core explodes into a lava of uncontrollable fantasy; and the terror at the base of such a personality is then externalized, and the individual forced to face under the worst possible conditions, those personal disruptions buried for so long.

On several occasions Sue found herself in an out-of-body state, explaining the facts of death to the newly dead who did not realize their condition. [...]

[...] I knew my physical legs couldn’t move this freely, although they are in good condition. [...]

I decided to continue the projection though I hadn’t faced these particular conditions before — being half in and half out of an environment. [...]

It occurred to me that perhaps the effects were warnings to go back to my body or indications that conditions weren’t good. [...]

[...] You thought that way first, before the condition, And whenever unpleasantness arose, you would make a series of decisions to shut out the sound until these decisions, one upon the other, finally “conditioned” you; you conditioned yourself not to hear. The problem is that after awhile, you see, you conditioned yourself so well that you no longer control the process that you began. [...]

[...] That is not the only cause for the condition, however. [...]

([Mary:] “Do you think that the condition has changed for the better in say, the last couple of weeks, when my husband and I agreed, for instance, on the check-writing thing; not to write checks for cash and then... [...]

[...] And without understanding, you can medically rid yourself of one condition, only to make ready certain that you have another one planned to take over! [...]

[...] You don’t even have to say “It will be healed,” but simply see it mentally in that condition. [...]

[...] You can certainly expect more improvements in Ruburt’s condition at all of its levels. [...]

[...] Those visitations, however, show you in quite clear light that the medical profession’s idea of preventive medicine can often lead precisely to the conditions they seemingly wish to avoid. [...]

(9:46.) Some of the material (in this session) on pain should help clear Ruburt’s mind, but the past week’s blue periods and so forth simply represented one more example of a situation in which he tried to make himself get better by “realizing the gravity of his condition”—by contrasting his performance against “normal” performance, and by the old beliefs of not trusting the body. [...]

(9:35.) Now: in a manner of speaking, of course, the same (alteration of approach) applies to Ruburt’s condition. [...]

I am making myself known simply to reinforce those conditions in which healing is quickened. Those conditions are always present—yet even the briefest of sessions reinforces those aspects that quicken healing. [...]

[...] The profound changes I spoke of in his condition are now occurring. [...]

[...] But you see when you do so you realize that you are not in your normal waking condition. [...]

[...] You are then able to realize that while you are indeed awake, as you seem, you are awake within a different condition.

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

[...] The excess chemicals built up during the waking condition are used to help form the projecting images. [...]

[...] When the condition is set up or the situation in which giving in, in your terms, is expected of you, and when the hypnotist is set up as an authority—you instantly rebel, and in your own way, you reinforce your ideas of spontaneity by refusing to go along with the authority. [...]

I want you to think hard on what I’ve said to you involving circumstances and conditions. [...]

Concentrate upon the idea of your body being a field awakened by the wind and the rain—awakened into sensation—not necessarily passive, then, but in a strange condition between alertness and passivity.

[...] In your present condition, however, a certain portion of you is still pleased that you have held out—that you are the rebel to the last, and that you have not given in.

(My own physical condition has improved considerably, so in some way I’ve managed to learn something. [...]

[...] They act often like barriers, or coats of armor, and according to the situation another person must first confront this condition or coat of armor, if he ever hopes to establish contact with the personality. [...]

(Pause.) Now Ruburt has had such a condition, for many reasons often given. [...]

[...] In the dreaming condition there is a great interchange of information with these other portions of your selves. [...]

As your spaceships to the moon must wait for the most effective overall conditions before taking off, so in other terms are there rhythms having to do with energy. [...]

These interchanges represent periods in which the soul and flesh meet under the most optimum conditions. [...]

While it does appear spontaneously, a good deal of conditioning and expectation is behind it, and your subconscious mind brings it forth. [...]

[...] There must always be a balance between necessary conditioning, ritual and habit, and spontaneity, freedom, and what we will call instantaneous psychic relaxations.

Conditioning therefore must also be enlivened, and intuition will help you here. [...]

In either case when conditions are right, you should feel a sense of recognition, a sense of grasping a portion of the center of your own reality. [...]

(See the last two sessions.) There are various ways in which Ruburt’s abilities can be used, and various purposes they can serve, according to circumstances and conditions. [...]

[...] Ruburt is just beginning to learn how to handle different conditions. [...]

(9:46.) Many viruses are vital to physical existence, and in your terms there are gradations of activity, so that only under certain conditions do viruses turn into, say, what you think of as deadly ones. [...] Under certain conditions, some so-called disease states could insure the species’ survival.

[...] (Pause.) In a way, some disease states help to insure the survival of the species — not by weeding out the sickly but by introducing into large numbers of individuals the conditions needed to stabilize other strains within the species that need to be checked, or to “naturally inoculate” the species against a sensed greater danger.

Just before the eye condition became apparent, the following happened. [...]

[...] Any improvement in Ruburt’s condition is significant, and should be reinforced.

You are another such period, where “conditions are working for you.” [...]

[...] When you are looking for the reasons behind a condition, that is different. [...] He disapproved of himself because of his condition, or so he thought, and he has felt that way often. The self-disapproval causes the condition, however, and not the other way around. [...]

“I feel sometimes as if I am expected to justify life’s conditions, when of course they do not need any such justification.”

[...] With Ruburt’s condition you forget your own abilities almost completely, relatively speaking.
