“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] This is perhaps no easy task in usual terms, yet he is indeed learning on his own part to use his consciousness in a different fashion than the one prescribed by man in one way or another for centuries. [...]

[...] Then make sure that Ruburt’s fears are vented, that he acknowledges them consciously and does not attempt to intellectualize them away. [...]

[...] The fear we consciously experienced has been very instructive.)

[...] They conceived a dimension of reality in which these things would, indeed, exist and from themselves they sent out portions of their own entity and consciousness. And when I say that they did this, they did it joyfully and with a great exuberance and yet, also, they felt this portion of their own consciousness leave them and escape from them and so, to some extent, they cried to see a portion of themselves forever leave and yet they did this that you might have existence and song. [...]

[...] You renew your bodies every seven years, all without your conscious knowledge. [...]

[...] But when you cannot do this for yourself, and when your own misconceptions hold you back from using your own abilities, then there are others who can reawaken your own energies and direct them to your advantage; who can meet you and speak with you when you are in more auspicious states than the one you usually call conscious— When you are at your most creative and alert, in other words, when you are asleep. [...]

[...] This is done automatically by a portion of yourself that is not conscious but is very vital and very real. [...]

[...] Remember, consciousness has its own protection, its own vitality, and trust in the vitality of your own consciousness and of your own way and that is the answer. [...]

[...] The deep mystery of consciousness has to do with vulnerability. [...]

[...] In other words, consciousness without camouflage, for the characteristics that I use are camouflage, beloved camouflage perhaps; but without them you would not understand what I am saying, and without them in yourselves, you would not learn to recognize the self that you can be. [...]

(Jane said she was in an altered state of consciousness as she delivered the material, yet was aware of what she said as she said it. [...] I hoped that the motivations behind it would rise to join her ordinary consciousness.

[...] She said later that she was in an altered state of consciousness. [...]

(I hoped the portion of her consciousness that had contacted us would now let her have her freedom. [...]

Breaking schedule brought some of this to consciousness. [...] If he chooses to work hourly again, it will be a new fresh conscious decision. [...]

[...] He could not be consciously concerned with it, or use it properly, while producing it. [...]

[...] Certain important kinds of creativity demand incubation periods, during which the conscious mind cannot follow the inner processes. [...] The “results” then emerge to the conscious mind, and you have inspiration, and a creative “product.”

[...] To some extent that kind of activity gives his conscious mind something to concentrate upon during creative periods of incubation. [...]

(10:18.) Now: If you alter that picture a little so that the images are somewhat scrambled — and you do this by altering the focus of your consciousness — then the familiar coordination is gone. [...] (Pause.) If you did change the focus of your consciousness still further, you might then “bring in” another picture entirely. [...]

The kind of reality thus created by that portion of your consciousness forms a given kind of experience. [...]

[...] So when you begin to experiment with states of altered consciousness you often run into the same kind of phenomena, when nothing seems to make sense.

[...] For other contrasting examples, in Volume 1 see the notes closing out sessions 688 and 703, as well as related material in Appendix 4, wherein I wrote about the translation challenges she’s often faced since beginning “Unknown” Reality: “— hence her talk before many of these sessions … about attaining that ‘certain clear focus,’ or ‘the one clearest place in consciousness,’ before she began speaking for Seth.”

[...] That, as Seth has remarked, the conscious mind must learn to rid itself of fear. [...]

[...] Above all I wanted her to retrain her conscious mind so that such fears would be banished. [...]

[...] The molecules and ions of the consciousness change into [those of] the concept, which is then directly experienced. [...]

[...] If Ruburt had known what was in my mind, he would have been nervous and self-conscious.

[...] I am saying that I do not want Ruburt’s consciousness involved beforehand, and the nervous strain on Ruburt’s part of wondering how such events will come to pass must also be avoided.

[...] That is, you may hear sounds and consciously ignore them.

Now this sense, like all other inner senses, is being used by the inner self-conscious ego, but the outer ego is not permitted awareness along these lines. [...]

[...] That is, I can let him know; but overly conscious preoccupation blocks him from knowing.

[...] Now the chair represents a subdivision in matter, being what you term dead matter, though we know that consciousness is everywhere.

[...] Energy and the consciousness within continually constructs itself into completely new constructions; because of the various speeds I have spoken of, and because you do not perceive the full reality, you do not notice the simultaneous constructions, and think them continuous, rather than separate and ever new.

[...] This will not mean much to his present personality on a conscious level, but the fact that the message was not delivered will mean much to the inner self, for that previous personality had set store by it.

[...] REM sleep or no REM sleep, your dreams exist constantly, beneath consciousness, even in the waking state. [...]

The self is actually returning to more surface levels of consciousness, to check upon its environment. [...]

They are actually more conscious of their dreams, for the ego does not prevent awareness at this stage to the same degree that it will do later.

[...] I saw the house once some years ago but have no conscious memory of the brick color.

[...] We’re keeping a list of all questions, with the daily answers, and are now seeing some notable shifts in answers, indicating improved communication between her conscious and unconscious selves.

[...] His subconscious, however, knowing its own beliefs which were given it by the conscious self, after all, feels highly threatened, for it knows not more about Ruburt than he does, but more than Ruburt will admit he knows. [...]

[...] The Silent Gallery people epitomized Ruburt’s fears in a fashion, and though I have given material in several ways pertaining to the fears, Ruburt never consciously acknowledged them, but shoved them under. [...]

[...] Coupled with a habit of consciously (underlined) repressing normal angry feelings, we have Ruburt’s loyalty to you. The feelings mentioned at the (supper) table were conscious at times, but he refused to acknowledge them.

[...] I am speaking now of habitual ways of handling conscious angry thoughts. [...]

[...] What you said today is true: You must learn to understand the creativity and responsibility of consciousness. [...]

[...] You began the morning together, using suggestions consciously decided upon. [...]

[...] They represent the power of your conscious intent to change, and the recognition of that power and its use automatically displaces feelings of powerlessness.

[...] He should, as he realizes, avoid dwelling on the symptoms consciously. [...]

There should be a conscious letting go now also. [...]

[...] Psycho-Cybernetics faithfully followed (underlined) will insure the best possible conscious circumstances to enable the process to come to its speediest conclusions.

Returning to our last discussion, I want to make it clear that these generic images, activated during certain levels of consciousness, are then interwound into dream drama.

This process continues beneath conscious and even subconscious awareness. [...]

[...] We shut out the early deaths from our conscious awareness as we move through probabilities. [...]

(I’m sure I said more at the time, but they don’t seem to return easily to conscious recall as I finish this session late in the evening. [...]

We shall however consider those aspects of consciousness which are present within the dream environment, and absent in the physical environment. [...]

In our final discussions we will, in a practical manner, discuss the ways in which conscious goals can be achieved with the help of the sleeping personality. [...]
