“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Instead, of course, he should then remind himself of the roles of the conscious and the unconscious minds—and then remind himself that the unconscious mind can handle such matters easily—as indeed it can. [...]

[...] With a small inspiration, I told her that in the light of the session today she should do the same thing as far as her understanding of the roles of the conscious and unconscious minds goes. [...]

[...] I said that such a simple action must be governed by other portions of the unconscious mind that are conscious in their own rights. [...]

This is not an uncaring universe or nature operating, but portions of consciousness who choose at whatever levels certain experiences that nourish the living environment, and bring satisfactions that may never show on life’s surface.

[...] I do want to point out that all fetuses do not necessarily intend to develop into normal babies, and that if medical science, through its techniques, ends up in directing a normal birth, the consciousness of the child may never feel normally allied with physical experience.

I am not advising that malformed infants be killed, but I do want to point out that even in those most severe cases there is meaning in such conditions, and the consciousness involved then chooses another kind of experience.

[...] Instead, the words “domination” and “submission” have to do with areas of consciousness and its development. Because of interpretations mentioned earlier in this book, you adopted a prominent line of consciousness that to a certain extent was bent upon dominating nature. [...]

[...] In such a way, religion, echoing your state of consciousness, was able to harness the powers of love and use them for purposes of domination. [...]

[...] You must manage it with conscious decisions, even if you go on trial basis with different methods, working toward what suits you best. It is not the method you latch upon that is important, but that you insist upon making conscious decisions, and taking conscious control of your time. [...]

That is why I want that other issue, so important to both of you, jointly and consciously tackled. [...]

[...] You are moving into a period where you are becoming more influenced by the future, in those terms, drawn by an impetus you feel but cannot consciously elucidate as yet.

I am not de-emphasizing consciousness. I am trying to teach you to focus your consciousness in many directions, even to carry a portion of egotistical consciousness into the dream state.

[...] It is not necessary for Ruburt to adopt the deep trance state for our sessions, since I am able to speak through him without shutting out most aspects of his consciousness.

[...] Since psychologists deal with psychological activity, it is all the more amazing that they have not concentrated upon psychological activity, observing it first hand as it exists in their own various stages of consciousness.

[...] All of the experiments that you are conducting are in themselves beneficial simply because of the training involved, and the expansion of consciousness.

[...] Let me hasten to tell you that all such ability is not necessarily conscious, and that much of it takes place during the sleep state when you are simply not aware of it.

When consciousness leaves the body and is away for some time then the connection is, of course, broken. [...]

[...] Those who have not identified their consciousness with the body completely, find it much easier to leave it. [...]

(Pause at 10:15.) Much later and on many levels you will finally learn to take many forms, as you choose, consciously. [...]

Another thought here is the love of continuing creation, which is continually formed by, through, and because of inquiring consciousness. It, inquiring consciousness, is as you know always individualized, and it is because of this amazing diversity that so many forms are possible.

Everything that is, is a materialization of aware, individualized, inquiring consciousness; and to love this is a personal, almost all-encompassing discipline and devotion. I say discipline because whenever, individualized inquiring consciousness expresses itself in form, it not only expresses its spontaneity; and this is not contradictory: But even while expressing its spontaneity, it disciplines it.

[...] I love the inquiring consciousness in whatever form it may appear. [...]

[...] The love of individualized inquiring consciousness has always been my strength, and the source of my energy.

These apparent inspirations from nowhere definitely come from somewhere, and this somewhere is that inner dreaming condition, which is a necessity on the part of every consciousness, human or otherwise. Here I am using the word consciousness to cover all organisms with awareness. This dream activity seems divorced from the conscious state itself, and came before the conscious state within your physical system. [...]

It is rather important that the reality of these electromagnetic systems be understood, as they are so important in the construction of physical images and dream images, and since they are responsible for the inner communication which takes place beneath consciousness.

His unconscious communications will also follow this same pattern. [...] His mind continues this activity even while the conscious self goes about its daily chores.

These dreams go unrecognized by the conscious ego; but they do not go unrecorded by the inner self, and they therefore exist, and they form electromagnetic channels of their own to which—make that by which—the physical body itself is affected. [...]

These chemical excesses are a natural byproduct of consciousness that is bound up in physical materialization. [...] Consciousness itself, when physically oriented, burns up chemicals. [...]

[...] When this knowledge becomes part of the usual waking consciousness, that is when you realize what you have done, then you have taken a gigantic step forward.

An almost automatic determination must be set up however if projections with conscious awareness are to be anything but rare oddities. [...]

[...] As yet he is not consciously aware of these projections. [...]

Problems involving the nature of consciousness, the nature of reality and problems regarding the responsibility of consciousness to All That Is. [...]

[...] No system of consciousness is ever closed, only you pretend that they are closed. [...]

[...] It does not occur to you, however, that there are literally countless, countless probable egos within yourself, numberless abilities that could come to the foremost of your consciousness to be latched upon and used. [...]

Now the trees that you see outside the window you see simply as trees because you perceive them only through the physical viewpoint, and yet even these trees have potential abilities and potential combinations of consciousness that you do not perceive and that exists in other probable realities. [...]

[...] There are people, there are groups of consciousness, who cannot speak. [...] There are consciousness, groups of consciousness, that try to communicate and you cannot listen because you insist that they have a language. [...]

He had no conscious purpose at all. [...]

[...] You can also learn more about yourselves by watching your conscious life and the Sumari that you may meet while you are waking. [...]

In larger terms, the word reality and those characteristics that I will give you as attributed to it, will be seen as part and parcel of a unified psychic consciousness, from which all other consciousness emerges. These emerging consciousnesses form new moment points, create new value fulfillment experiences that constantly allow the overall reality to be created even as it creates.

[...] (Pause.) We will also be developing the God concept in terms of my choosing (amused), the pyramid-consciousness gestalts of which I have spoken in the past. [...]

[...] By now she was consciously aware that something definitely unusual had been taking place, and the second touch conflicted here.

The idea of—not perfection, now, but excellence—is presented to consciousness in many ways and in many guises, and the ideal of excellence serves as an impetus for consciousness, an excellence of pattern. The pattern is used as a standard by the individual consciousness. [...]

Before we get down to Ruburt’s particulars, consider the fact that you are presently a part of a species that is specializing in the development of various kinds of consciousness, embarked upon an adventure that sees consciousness not only trying out new directions, from your perspective, but also trying to “perfect” and advance particular attributes.

All of this involves conscious beliefs, some that you have not officially recognized. [...]

[...] You say, consciously: “I cannot get painting ideas now because I am working on thus and so in these hours,” and so inhibit paintings. [...]

[...] The dreams restate on other levels his conscious decision to be flexible.

Other kinds of consciousness coexist within the same “space” that your world inhabits. [...]

Now: This is highly simplified, but the subjective experience of any consciousness is automatically expressed as electromagnetic energy units. [...]

These units are natural emanations from all kinds of consciousness. [...]

(With many pauses throughout:) Ruburt displayed an excellent example of the mobility of consciousness in last evening’s experiences.

Healing also takes place at many different levels of consciousness. [...]

[...] The entire episode shows the way that the mind derives new experience through using more than one level of consciousness at any given time. [...]

[...] The conscious withdrawal of mental life during life makes normally conscious experience possible. [...]

You have started the free association in a good and rousing fashion, so that Ruburt becomes consciously aware of some of his own attitudes that he has more or less become blind to. [...]

[...] You are as natural as an animal, and as “tuned in” to the deep rhythms of the earth — those that you consciously perceive and those that are perceived by your body consciousness, but are screened out by the “official mind.”

You must therefore explore the psyche, the living consciousness. [...]

4. A note added later: Jane dealt with her “own” ideas of the inner multidimensional self in Part 2 of her Adventures in Consciousness: An Introduction to Aspect Psychology. [...]

[...] None of this operated on a conscious level. Consciously he wanted to be alone. [...]

All consciousness exists first and primarily in electromagnetic terms, although consciousness may project itself into many various forms. [...]

[...] Now this represents a definite increase in the scope of consciousness, and a considerable expansion over the usual limitations set by you upon the self.

[...] All consciousness does or it would not be consciousness. [...]

Now, not only human beings form their own reality, but all consciousness forms its own reality. [...]

[...] If you kill, and believe that you kill, you will bear those consequences at this level of your development, but to think that you can destroy a consciousness would make the gods laugh. [...]

[...] It was subconscious, but it was also consciously learned and followed. [...]
