“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I try to break up blocks of your concentration, and at various times have indeed succeeded, so that creative changes show in all areas, including Ruburt’s condition. [...]

[...] With physical conditions already apparent in the present, you can at least realize that while these present you with a certain evidence, the evidence will indeed change—and can change, and is changing the minute that you realize that the evidence, while present, is not inevitably all the evidence available. [...]

[...] The same applies in its own way to each individual, where the conditions and challenges and solutions as well are given in the chosen background. [...]

[...] At the best he will establish a condition of extraordinary flexibility—which is still up to him. [...]

(Today Patty filled Jane in on her studies in operant conditioning; how, with a simple Yogalike technique, monitored by an electroencephalograph, she learned to “turn on” her alpha brainwaves. [...]

When your consciousness leaves your body, the alpha state maintains its good condition for you. [...]

(10:11.) The [human] species has built into it all of the knowledge, information, and “data” that it can possibly need under any and all conditions. [...]

[...] Seth did an excellent job of describing the conditions that resulted in Jane’s “Cézanne experience.” [...]

[...] “It” is also aware of the state of the earth’s health — even of the environmental conditions on the other side of the planet. [...]

[...] Dreaming provides all the conditions of life and death, therefore — a fact that often frightens the waking self. [...]

[...] You are the physical event of yourself put into a given space and time, and because of the conditions of that framework, within it you automatically exclude other experience of your own selfhood. [...]

[...] Before conditioning, children’s play follows the love of performance, of body or imagination, for performance’s sake only; the expansion of mental or physical abilities. [...]

[...] The villains consisted of the following ideas: that the world is unsafe, and growing deadly; that the species itself is tainted by a deadly intent; that the individual has no power over his or her reality; that society or social conditions exist as things in themselves, and that their purposes run directly counter to the fulfillment of the individual; and lastly, that the end justifies the means, and that the action of any kind of god is powerless in the world.

(10:19 P.M. “I’m still that way, quite a bit,” Jane said as soon as she came out of trance; she referred to her very beneficial and relaxed condition. [...]

Conditions vary physically from day to day. [...]

[...] Unfortunately, in the condition in which your world finds itself, it is extremely difficult to imagine that all the young men in all of the countries at the same time will refuse to go to war. [...]

An effort should be made to help the client understand that errors of thought and belief are responsible for the condition — and that the removal of those erroneous beliefs can relieve the situation. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) There were certain deep questions about life, certain pressing problems about man’s condition, with which you felt you had little experience, since your primary goals had been to examine life, to stand apart from it to study it, And therefore you both felt that you had few of the same concerns as those that led other people (quietly intent). [...]

[...] You needed extra impetus—again so it seemed—lest your relative nonattachment to life’s conditions kept you from a sympathetic understanding of your fellow man. [...]

[...] That condition was also related to the telephone one, adding the extra difficulty of clearly hearing a television—or rather radio—program, and the hearing difficulty was aggravated along with the hands. [...]

(Pause at 9:57.) When that answer came, it involved previously unimaginable leaps of divine inspiration, and it occurred thusly: All That Is searched through the truly infinite assortment of its incredible progeny to see what conditions were needed for this even more magnificent dream, this dream of a freedom of objectivity. [...] When All That Is, in your terms, put all of those conditions together it saw, of course, in a flash, the mental creation of those objective worlds that would be needed—and as it imagined those worlds, in your terms, they were physically created.

[...] He began to purposefully bring about those mental conditions that were requested by these generations of mental progeny. [...]

Using such “a psychic computer,” information was sorted and resorted, probabilities examined, some discarded because the conditions were not apropos. [...]

[...] And, also, you would have compared his present condition unfavorably with the desired end, simply involving yourselves in contradictions.

I said that I did not want you to compare his condition to the ideal one, and that certainly still stands. [...]

[...] You see in Ruburt’s physical condition the clearest representation, but this is simply the clearest sign of events that exist in your own private experience also. [...]

You are faced of course with conditions built up of long-held attitudes. [...]

The recommendations I have made even so far will alter conditions. [...]

[...] I think there is a “mass” dream experience, however, as there is a collectively perceived physical life and definite interior conditions within which dream life happens. [...]

[...] Therefore, a kind of momentary gap appeared between his life and his living of it—a pause and a hesitation became obvious between his life and what he should do with it, as his condition showed just before the hospital hiatus.

[...] Rob’s detailed notes about my physical condition, then, appear in those pages.

[...] I think that in the following excerpts Seth rather neatly encapsulates her past beliefs, her present condition, and how far she has yet to go in meeting her challenges. [...]

(Long pause at 7:46.) If Ruburt once found himself imagining that he must be strong and perfect enough to help solve everyone else’s problems, now he found himself relatively helpless and “undefended”—that is, his physical condition put him in [such a situation]. [...]

[...] Bringing such issues into the open does help, for the more consciously you become aware of what you are saying through a physical condition, the more adequately you can state it verbally, or in other ways. [...]

[...] Worrying, future projections of unpleasant conditions, concern over a public image, or whatever, even overconcern about his work itself—these cause strain and tension. [...]

All of this is also connected with your beliefs about the waking and dreaming states, white being acquainted with the day, and black with the dreaming condition. [...]

This does not mean that humanity has fallen from that state of grace into what may seem to be a lower condition. [...]

[...] This applies in any bodily condition, of course.

As Ruburt’s physical condition changes, this “merely” signifies a turnabout in his entire handling of himself as psyche and self form a new alliance.

[...] (On February 19.) What was said should show you that Ruburt’s condition also became the focus of your combined discontents, the physical picture of it. [...]

[...] Improvements in Ruburt’s condition were ignored (underlined) largely by both of you, and instead concentration was upon the symptoms that still remained.
