“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] We estimate, then, that in a slightly altered state of consciousness Jane gave impressions for something like nine hours out of the actual ten and a half involved.

(I asked Jane to write a paragraph about the predominant mode of consciousness she’d experienced during the long session, and here’s what she produced:)

[...] I enjoy this particular ‘alteration of consciousness,’ although I don’t really recognize it as alien to my regular one; it’s just different. [...]

Earth experience, even in your terms, is far more varied than you ever consciously imagine. [...]

[...] First of all, all negative attitudes must be removed from your consciousness. [...]

[...] You must indeed think consciously in terms of plenty rather than of want. [...]

[...] The rest of the time consciously make an effort to control your attitude when you find yourself thinking in terms of want or poverty. [...]

[...] He did not realize consciously what he was doing, but was strongly impelled to take the stand that he did, and outraged subconsciously that you did not understand why he took it.

[...] The conscious mind is fascinated and the inner self free then to act constructively. [...] Consciousness is not that simple.

[...] These states are then manipulated, often subjectively, sometimes consciously. [...]

(I did insist that in my opinion the body, including the conscious mind, wasn’t doing a very good job of taking care of itself in such cases. [...]

[...] Intellectually, he understood that changes had to be made in his attitude, and he tried to treat your family kindly, and consciously to make up to his mother by being nice to yours.

[...] All of the different variations that can be played upon human consciousness, all of the racial probabilities, are in one way occurring in ages past — but they are also happening in what you think of as your present. As mentioned earlier (in sessions 680–82), your consciousness seizes upon certain events over others and brings these into significance, and therefore into the official reality that you know.

[...] Believing such clues to be meaningless, the conscious mind does not perceive them, or calls them coincidences. Such clues in your intimate daily life, however, looked at in a different way, can tell you much about the potentials of the species, and give you glimpses of other systems of reality in which human consciousness can respond. [...]

[...] That is, she is conscious of her own being outside of the official framework.⁴

[...] The cells recognized the probable reality involved,⁶ and he, Joseph, felt that he was “at home” (in the Markle place), and yet consciously could not explain the feeling. [...]

(Jane called Leonard Yaudes this morning while I was painting [I thought she was talking to Peg G.], and said later that she was picking up from Seth a good deal of excellent material on the body consciousness, our social mores re illness, and my own recent panicky hassles after Leonard’s operation a couple of weeks ago. [...]

[...] That information is very rarely made conscious. [...]

Ruburt actually followed through for you—not realizing this consciously, by finally calling Leonard this morning, when he discovered that Leonard had been feeling poorly, off and on during the same time that you had your difficulties, and that Leonard was looking for someone to do an errand (buy a thermometer). [...]

[...] He was even tempted to not tell you the entire situation for the same reason—and that entire process is a conscious version of what you did at other levels. [...]

The entire orientation is strange or alien only to your conscious belief systems. In one way or another, most people are aware of a desire for death before they die — a desire they usually do not consciously acknowledge. [...]

(9:28.) A small note — for this will be a brief session — to add to your material on disease: All biological organisms know that physical life depends upon a constant transformation of consciousness and form. [...]

In one way or another, they are always invited (underlined) — again, always invited — in response to that greater rhythm of existence in which physical life is dependent upon constant transformation of consciousness and form. [...]

[...] The beliefs of the conscious mind, however, set your goals and purposes. [...] The conscious intent, therefore, activates the inner mechanisms and changes the behavior of the cells and their components.

In far greater terms, the goals set consciously by your species also set into operation the same kind of inner biological activity. [...]

[...] The intent will be conscious, though the means may not be. [...]

[...] … As you develop in your use of it, you will be able to rest within its framework while you are consciously awake. [...]

At a certain point you will feel alert and conscious but very light. [...]

(Long pause.) Such beliefs serve to limit your comprehension, until it seems often that physical life consists of a frantic struggle for survival at every level of consciousness. [...]

[...] (Pause.) All portions of the environment contain their own kinds of consciousness. [...]

Overall, whether or not you are conscious of it — for some of you are, and some of you are not — your lives do have a certain psychological shape. [...]

[...] And in terms that you do not understand, even those atoms and molecules made their own decisions as the result of recognizing and following those impulsive sparks toward action that are inherent in all consciousness, whatever their statuses in your terms (all with intensity and feeling).

Consciousness attempts to grow toward its own ideal development, which also promotes the ideal development of all organizations in which it takes part.

[...] I asked her now to dictate to me exactly what she wanted me to record: “Now he’s telling us that to take conscious control of your beliefs and life and everything does involve a new manipulation of consciousness, where I’d been knocking my guts out thinking it should be something you can do real easy. [...]

[...] In this life, you come together and part, come together and part again, forming a counterpart relationship when it suits your purposes, as streams of consciousness might mix and merge, and then separate.

[...] I may prepare my film in advance, in your terms, when consciously Ruburt is not aware of it, and when no impression is made upon his conscious mind.

You blamed yourself for financial reasons, though consciously this would be the last thing to come to your mind. [...] But subconsciously you wondered what social environment your child would really (underlined) encounter, and whether or not you deprived him of the social and economic benefits that you have convinced yourself, consciously, you do not need.

[...] Regardless of what you thought consciously therefore, you still inwardly blamed yourself for letting the child go, and therefore the difficulty with the womanly organs.

Now these are things, some of the things, that you do not want to face consciously. [...]

In other words, the psychic development is a part of his natural growth (long pause), a reaffirmation and restructuring of inner information that in one fashion or another was always available to him, but needed to find a conscious format, a conscious expression, a way to pierce the seemingly opaque habits of knowledge of the cultural world. [...]

The Mafia dream (of March 16) based on the gangsters’ series, for example, served to bring into conscious awareness not just the information, but Ruburt’s feelings about the dominant male role in your present culture. [...]

There are other dream episodes that Ruburt has forgotten, and help that he has received, that does not need to become conscious. [...]

[...] In a fashion the material returns him, however, to a natural yet mystical inner knowledge of his childhood before (underlined) he cloaked it in the church’s robes, and it would be good for him to remember that and perhaps try to recapture some of those very early feelings that he has consciously forgotten. [...]

[...] Impulses also open up choices that may not have been consciously available before. I have often said that the c-e-l-l-s (spelled) precognate, and that at that level the body is aware of vast information, information not consciously known or apprehended. [...]

[...] Only people who trust their spontaneous beings and the altruistic nature of their impulses can be consciously wise enough to choose from a myriad of probable futures the most promising events — for again, impulses take not only [people’s] best interest into consideration, but those of all other species.

[...] No consciousness simply reacts to stimuli, but has its own impulse toward growth and value fulfillment. [...]

(Long pause.) A democracy is a highly interesting form of government, highly significant because it demands so much of individual consciousness, and because it must rest primarily upon a belief in the powers of the individual. [...]

[...] When she lay down for a nap yesterday afternoon she picked up from Seth hints of subjects he’s going to discuss in Dreams: “man migrations,” and “inside and outside cues” as pertaining to man’s consciousness. [...]

(Pause at 9:31.) All units of consciousness, whatever their degree, possess purpose and intent. [...]

[...] There is a great elasticity for action and mobility, so that, for example, in man his conscious experience can actually be put together in an almost limitless number of ways.

[...] (Pause.) In his thinking, in the quality of his thoughts, in their motion, he is indeed experimenting with a unique and a new kind of reality, forming other subjective worlds which will in their turn grow into consciousness and song, which will in their turn flower from a dream dimension into other ones. [...]

[...] To some extent you can gain an idea of this through an examination of your own stream of consciousness. [...]

There is always a creative strain, in which consciousness attempts to express itself, and this has been explained earlier. [...]

They also emerge within realities, and can attain consciousness superior, in further developments, than that presently known by man.

[...] Always there is the expansion of consciousness, though the lines of these progressions may be quite alien to your own. [...]

[...] In true expansion of consciousness then, you become more and more aware, more conscious, underlined, of inner realities that were previously never realized on a conscious level. Since the ego is presently your main vehicle of consciousness, it will not be obliterated. [...]

[...] The psychedelic experience is primarily the expansion of consciousness. [...]

Our sessions are experiences in the expansion of consciousness. [...]

It is possible (underlined) that the psychedelic experience for these individuals would involve consciousness expansion directed toward (underlined) usual physical reality, and bring about a more unified personality structure from society’s standpoint. [...]

You are part of God in that you are part of the consciousness that is, but you are not apart from a god who looks down on you and speaks... [...] You could call hell a separation from the main stream of consciousness called God, but this is impossible actually...

[...] She has no particular designs, consciously, as far as you are concerned... [...]

[...] I did not know who it represented consciously; merely that I had a very clear mental image of a face and figure to paint. [...]

[...] You will see through a growth of ability and consciousness... [...]

[...] More alive than some of your professors and friends, for aliveness is dependent upon the state of your consciousness, dependent upon your awareness, your ability to perceive and to feel. [...]

[...] I am individualized consciousness and so are you. [...]

[...] Your own consciousness is part of each season. [...]

There are realities and systems within this room that you do not (consciously) perceive, but your inner senses perceive them. [...]

[...] You do form it, from the inside out, and yet you form it from living substance, and each smallest particle has its own living consciousness. There are clumps of matter, and in that respect there are clumps of consciousness, each individual, with their own destiny and abilities and potentials. [...]

[...] Each of my readers plays a game in which the egotistical conscious self pretends not to know what the whole self definitely does know. [...]

[...] The soul or entity is itself the most highly motivated, most highly energized, and most potent consciousness-unit known in any universe.
