“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] With the birth of the conscious mind in man, however, the self who acts needed a way to judge its actions. [...]

[...] This development involved separations and concentrations of energy into self-conscious identities. This development was an advancement, yet this advancement led also to a separation and objectifying of consciousness, into dual segments of subject and object.

[...] The limited idea of the self held by the ego clouds and distorts the main issue, for the ego is not conscious of the underlying bonds of sympathy that serve to merge, momentarily, the identities involved.

[...] Some translation must occur if you are to become aware consciously of such material, or if it is to impress the physical senses at all.

[...] (Long pause.) In other words, if you will forgive a pun, you can never be consciously aware of the basic inner perception, but you can follow backward to that point. [...]

If you are awakened for any reason during the night, the chances for a conscious projection on your return to sleep are somewhat higher than they would have been had your sleep not been interrupted.

Now, there is a point, quite important, that Ruburt will not consciously as yet accept, and that is the influence of telepathic and clairvoyant data. [...]

[...] The affair with Muriel was known to him, though again he is not consciously convinced. [...]

He will automatically react to such information whether or not he consciously admits that he receives it. [...]

Even if he takes a conscious neutral stand, this will be of great benefit, for as he overreacts, he overreacts to his own doubts. [...] Even a neutrality here will be a step forward on the part of consciousness, you see.

(Emphatically.) I am now you see so a part of his system at this moment that no part of his consciousness can sit aside and isolate me. [...]

[...] In a manner of speaking, then, the picture of nature is painted by its own consciously vital, esthetic portions. [...]

With man’s own exteriorized ego, this leads to the question of free will and the making of conscious choices.

[...] Returning to my usual state of consciousness I was instantly hot again.

[...] They represent a kind of mobility … a psychological motion, at another level than the usually conscious one.

[...] The book is so written that as you read it you will pick up automatically those areas that most concern you, and even in the dream state follow through so that answers are going to appear consciously and visibly to you. [...] He is only now learning again the knack of consciously directing the body in the way he wants to—at a certain level, for what he is really learning to do is change the directions he has been giving it, for those worked very well.

[...] Mama and Papa, in our analogy, represent the infinite potential within one basic unit (CU) of consciousness.

Then, in the 681st session, see what Seth has to say about individual biological history and the basic unpredictability of consciousness.

[...] Your proud human consciousness rests on the vast “unconscious” integrity of your physical being. In that regard your consciousness is as natural as your toe. [...]

[...] Newborn animals either die quickly and naturally, painlessly, before their consciousnesses are fully focused here, or are killed by their mothers — not because they are weak or unfit to survive, but because the [physical] conditions are not those that will produce the quality of life that makes survival “worthwhile.”

The consciousness that became so briefly physical is not annihilated, however, but in your terms waits for better conditions.

[...] They will instinctively starve an offspring while its consciousness is still unfocused, rather than send it loose under adverse conditions.

[...] We will discuss the ways in which this can be encouraged, as well as the role of the conscious mind as the director of “the soul in chemical clothes.”

[...] I hadn’t been consciously considering such ideas. [...]

[...] It includes additional information on several topics already mentioned in the book proper, such as coordination points, biblical times and records, objects as symbols, reincarnation, and expansion of consciousness. [...]

[...] You are so used to believing that there is a conscious mind that you call the will, and an unconscious mind whose intents are unknown to you, and seemingly not yours, that you, meaning people in general, are unaware of your own will, your own desire, your own intent. You are unaware as a people of your entire consciousness, and I am speaking now in pragmatic terms, not in esoteric ones.

(10:24.) An exercise such as this evening’s simply allows you to unify your will with your body, and bridge the gap of separation artificially formed, to quiet the panic, to unify the so-called conscious and unconscious, and such exercises will release energy, not only for Ruburt’s recovery, but will automatically revive your psychic lives. You are taking conscious control of the magic of words, in order to use them for new intents, and to dramatically change the old ones.

[...] You experience what you expect to experience at a subconscious and a conscious level. [...] As our friend here went beyond the point (referring to TM), looked at the portraits and consciously... for you did not make an original intuitive judgment...but consciously looked at those portraits in terms of nationality, age, and all the requirements that you thought of. [...]

[...] And the secret that you try so hard to hide from your conscious mind is not that terrible a secret. [...]

On a conscious level, and with your conscious reserves alone, you could not keep your body alive an hour. [...]

[...] When you are in other than your normally conscious state, you visit that creative inner agency in which all physical productions must have their beginning. [...]

[...] Yet that larger inner system of communications is far more powerful in scope, and each mental act is imprinted in the multidimensional screen of Framework 2. That screen is available to all, and in other levels of consciousness, particularly in the sleep and dreaming stages, the events of that inner reality are as ever-present and easily accessible as physical events are when you are awake.

All of an individual’s experiences, even those of which he is not aware on a conscious basis, therefore are part of the electromagnetic reality that forms this particular individual’s electromagnetic identity. [...]

[...] It must then be transformed into a pattern that will be distinguished by ego awareness, if the individual is to be consciously aware of having received such a message.

[...] The information is used and acted upon without conscious approval or recognition. [...]

[...] Otherwise full use of the intuitions would be relied upon and the intellect would not develop, for the intellect is an important feature in the further specialization of individual consciousness and identity.

[...] His creative abilities have not deserted him, but it is that fear that they will if they are not consciously, persistently exerted that bothers him. [...]

[...] Your dream brought your fears to the surface of your mind, and when those fears became conscious both of you determined to show yourselves that Ruburt was indeed safe and protected. [...]

[...] It is up to the conscious mind to interpret sense events as clearly and concisely as possible. [...]

[...] He will consciously and unconsciously focus upon that part of the body, anticipating its malfunction. [...]

[...] Your usual stream of consciousness is also highly associative, however. [...]
