“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

First of all, there are rhythms of consciousness. [...]

[...] In a manner of speaking, the mind sends out electromagnetic patterns that are used almost like aerial bridges, upon which the signals of consciousness travel invisibly through your world. [...]

The preparation of the bridges, again, is an unconscious process, done in sleeping, though some “maintenance” is also carried on beneath usual consciousness, even in the waking members of the species. [...]

[...] The world mind, then, in your terms, could not be conscious all at one time, and the varying graduated waking-sleeping patterns—the overlapping between the extremes you mention—provide overall balance and allow for smooth communications of an inner kind.

[...] You create and form your own reality, but you create and form more realities than you consciously realize. Now it is possible, you see, and you are trying to bring what you think of as your conscious self into some awareness of what these other portions of the inner self are up to so, supposing we call your presently conscious self your immediate self. [...]

And the time has come for you to experience fresh and new concepts and to find them within yourselves for the miracle of consciousness is your own as it is my own, or Ruburt’s own. You are each the miracles of consciousness, and those miracles occur within you constantly in your terms of time. [...]

[...] You are intersections, cosmic intersections, and it is up to you as the conscious selves that you think you are now, to listen and watch and to be aware of these portions of your personality that flow through you and in and out of you, in your terms. [...]

[...] In the discussion of “primitive” and “civilized” man that followed, Warren presented his opinion that some civilizations, such as those of Babylonia, Egypt, the Incas, and so forth, had been founded by initiate groups from Atlantis⁴ … that while “primitive” man may have had a kind of gestalt consciousness, he had no individual consciousness. As Warren made similar remarks about the development of individual consciousness through historical times to our point of civilization, Seth suddenly and unexpectedly came through loudly and forcefully:

(Warren: “But isn’t this stuff all about the development of ego consciousness?”)

[...] To keep the discussion simple, I will answer you in reincarnational terms; but as Ruburt is discovering as he writes his Adventures in Consciousness,⁶ many more elements are involved.

(With a smile:) “Your particular conscious and subconscious viewpoints are fluent enough so that they do not hamper the basic material, or cover it with the rock of dogmatism so that it becomes impossible to find … Actually, what I needed were personalities who were not fanatics along any line — including scientific fanatics who would object as forcibly to the reincarnational data as religious fanatics would object to some of the other material.

[...] There are different kinds of creativity, then, to learn, and a specialization in energy is focus and feelings that emerge; elemental energy becoming conscious of itself, and aware of issues that did not exist for it earlier; millions of molecules momentarily united with the living consciousness (pause), filled with primal energy, now learning love, and forming highly sensitive psychic patterns, electrical charges that now form emotions instead of clouds; the innocent chaos of undifferentiated personality that exists behind the highly specified and truly sophisticated mechanism of one thought. [...]

[...] It is not done often in such a way, since with the materials at hand often a complicated-enough structure cannot be formed in which consciousness can fully- enough express itself.

It possessed creatures of consciousness, but not as you know creatures. [...]

There was a direct and instantaneous reaction between consciousness and matter. [...]

Consciousness takes up no space in your terms. [...] When consciousness needs space in which to operate, it creates space. [...]

[...] What you call God is the sum of all consciousness and yet the whole is more than the sum of its parts. [...] This force is part of the innate knowledge within all consciousness and it is a part of the God within you. [...]

[...] But when you return to that from which you have come, when you return to what you think of as God, by then new creativity will have already begun, consciousness will evolve in new ways and there will be new challenges. [...]

You know also that your own previous memories in this life are all available to you at other than conscious levels. [...] The days or hours spent in school are consciously forgotten. [...]

[...] You have conscious intents. [...]

[...] In such an atmosphere you bypass, or can bypass, conscious layers that are anxious, and communicate a biological and spiritual comfort.

[...] Strange, it seems, on the surface at least, that events involving us and Spain should arise, seemingly without our conscious participation or awareness at all. [...]

[...] (To me:) You have been operating far more than in the past, and you should shortly now gain conscious awareness. You will probably come to, realizing you have projected, several times, before becoming conscious of the mechanism of getting out.

[...] Barriers are broken down you see without any conscious direction applied. [...]

[...] The new individual has a deeply buried memory of its past lives, but the personal consciousness of the last reincarnated self must not be superimposed upon this new identity. [...]

[...] The mother knows where the child is, even though she is not conscious of this. [...]

[...] He must avoid being overly concerned on a conscious level.

Maltz is quite correct, in that an overly conscious (underlined) attempt is harmful. [...]

Pleasant relaxation is the key, as opposed to a retreating, drugged-like mood, or an overly tense, overly conscious worry, as to the degree of his improvement. [...]

The success exercises are also teaching him how to focus his energy without strong conscious deliberation. [...]

(“I can sense the information outside of me, say, but I can’t get it in my regular state of consciousness. When Seth comes through he’s at the same level the material’s at, and he — or I — can then pull it in … It’s as though there’s a store of information there, but I have to go through a door of consciousness to reach it.”

[...] In his book Adventures in Consciousness, Ruburt mentions what he calls “prejudiced perception.’’¹ It is an excellent term in this regard.

[...] While the body’s integrity must lie in a constant reiteration in one probability, and maintain within that probable system a certain “constant,” and while physically perception is largely directed there, the basic integrity of the body system and consciousness comes from outside the system into it. [...]

[...] “But I’m out of it on this one,” she said, explaining that she didn’t know it well consciously, had little idea of its structure, and couldn’t particularly say what was to come in it. [...]

[...] In that context, the day hours and waking consciousness are thought of as masculine, along with the sun — while the nighttime, the moon, and the dreaming consciousness are considered feminine or passive. [...]

Now: Distorted ideas about sexuality prevent many people from attaining any close connection with the inner experience that continually stirs beneath ordinary consciousness. [...]

[...] Biologically speaking, fetuses grow and develop — I am going slowly here because I am being tricky — and when innate consciousness merges with proper form, the conditions are right for the birth of a healthy child. [...]

[...] This does not mean that the consciousness of a child was annihilated, for example, if it was naturally aborted. [...]

(Actually, the session might better be called a Jane/Seth session, in that Jane’s own consciousness was often uppermost, riding upon Seth’s underlying and steadying influence. [...]

There was a tie-in, and it’s that the Christ drama happened as a result of man’s dream, at least, of achieving brotherhood — a quiet, secure sense of consciousness, and a morality that would sustain him in the physical world.

[...] Man’s fears of not achieving brotherhood, of not achieving a secure state of consciousness, or a workable morality, result in his dreams of destruction, however they are expressed. [...]

[...] That was a nice smooth state of consciousness.

You on your plane for example do not even have conscious memory of your own dream fragments. For that matter you can hardly remember one idea from one week to another on a conscious deliberate basis. It is simply impossible for the ego as you know it to maintain conscious dominance at this time. [...]

[...] I am not certain if you refer to the subconscious memory of personality, the conscious memory of personality, or of the memory of an entity. [...]

[...] I believe these thoughts came to me so easily because I had been making some conscious efforts to think in new ways, and they were triggered by my working on this particular drawing.

(“How come the pendulum will sometimes say Jane or I made valid predictions, when we don’t see any connection consciously?”

[...] On the day the predictions were made for, we check them against what we can consciously remember of the day’s events. [...]

[...] To our surprise, we have discovered that the pendulum does not always agree with our conscious interpretations. [...]

The range is very large, oftentimes too large, for the conscious mind to perceive a particular segment of it. [...]

[...] She could say but little about what she had picked up: Since consciousness creates reality, reality is not independent of consciousness; but there was more here.

There are such lights throughout the entire universe, but this one is at your own apex point, to which your consciousnesses are attuned. [...]

(“...something to the idea that knowledge was meaningless if it wasn’t applied to consciousness...” [...]

[...] Everyone was overly nice to the dog, so no one would know consciously, what they knew subconsciously—that you considered the dog the symbol of failure. It was a closely guarded secret by all, hidden, but not entirely, from the conscious minds of those involved. [...]

For some time you had consciously considered various roads that you could take, but subconsciously you became more and more alarmed, and felt severely hampered in your progress.

While you tried to deal with them on a conscious level, you became more and more frightened of them, and more and more you began to try to dissociate yourself from them. [...]

[...] Old fears were aroused that you have never faced consciously. [...]

His conscious mind, when he is not writing, should be anchored on something. There is too much unrecognized free brooding, when he sits doing nothing consciously, waiting perhaps for inspiration but not in a positive way. [...] His mind, his conscious mind, is the type that should be anchored in such a way, for it is overactive, otherwise, and when he is not at his best it will leap to brooding. [...]

[...] The remarks are again harmless ones, usually a line or two of pointless conversation, chatter meant to cover up a thought that has briefly come into consciousness, and been repressed.

One evening dancing, he tried consciously too hard, so that he tensed the muscles as he was trying to use them, and there was a physical result then. [...]

[...] If he is consciously adding instructions to relax on top of this he worsens the situation, for the muscles cannot relax and contract at once.

[...] You are becoming consciously aware of it, but it exists whether or not you know it. [...]

I did want to make the point however that you are now aware in practical terms of a conscious part of the personality that appears to be independent of the ego and aware of the ego’s activities.

The basis and firm groundwork of the material, and its primary contribution, lies in the concept that consciousness itself indeed creates matter, that consciousness is not imprisoned by matter but forms it, and that consciousness is not limited or bound by time or space; time and space in your terms being necessary distortions, or adopted conditions, forming a strata for physical existence.

[...] It is theoretically, but definitely, possible for an individual to suddenly perform an art for which he has in the past achieved no conscious knowledge or mastery, and to do it well. But usually expectations are just not that strong, and a conscious and unconscious preparation is necessary.

[...] The mechanisms by which psychic energy or consciousness forms matter should also be included, and naturally the concept that matter does not have duration.

He would have been acting out of expectancy, in league with subconscious as well as conscious need, and the impetus of wanting money would have given it to him, if he closed off the other means. [...]

[...] An open-ended consciousness will feel its connections with all other living beings. (Pause.) The continuity of consciousness will become apparent. [...]

For example, the main character in a religious historical drama may or may not consciously be aware of the ways in which such information is given to him. [...]

[...] Slayers and victims will change roles as reincarnational memories rise to the surface of consciousness. [...]

[...] For one thing, the full consciousness of an entity would be too strong for one physical vehicle. [...]

Give us a moment … Your planet as you know it is a certain kind of focus point for consciousness. [...] Your consciousness is tuned in to frequencies of perception that give you that impression. [...]

[...] The true dimensions of a divine creativity would be unendurable for any one consciousness of whatever import, and so that splendor is infinitely dimensionalized (most intensely throughout), worlds spiraling outward with each ‘moment’ of a cosmic breath; with the separation of worlds a necessity, and with individual and mass comprehension always growing at such a rate that All That Is multiplies itself at microseconds, building both pasts and futures and other time scales you do not recognize. Each is a reality in itself, with its own potentials, and with no individual consciousness, however minute, ever lost.

[...] However, many of my readers, or their offspring, will be involved in a new dimension of selfhood in which consciousness is fully explored and the potentials of the soul uncovered, at least to some extent.

[...] They will be aware of their options, comma, consciously. [...]
