“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The photographer in the dream world, though, will find an entirely different situation, for there consciousness can capture scenes from entirely different times as easily as the waking photographer can take pictures of different places. [...]

[...] You may make one particular decision in physical and waking consciousness, and that decision may bring forth certain events. [...]

[...] In the dream world hallucinations are like conscious shadows. [...]

[...] He identifies primarily with what I call a limited portion of his consciousness. [...]

[...] Those processes are spontaneous and ‘unconscious,’ so it appears that anything outside of his conscious control must be undisciplined or chaotic, and lacking in all logic.

[...] The fact is that man’s consciousness can indeed become aware of — aware of — those spontaneous processes. [...]

You are ready to expand your own consciousness. [...]

For some time you have all been searching, and I hope to show you how to ask the proper questions; for in the questions you will find the answers, and in the answers you shall be yourselves; and knowing yourselves fulfill your purpose, and expand the limitations of your own consciousness until you can search out the past and the present and see yourselves as you are, and know that you are more than you think you are, and fulfill those abilities which you have partially developed in past lives.

Within you there is indeed innate knowledge of all the selves that you have been, and of all the selves that you shall be, and this knowledge sustains you even when you do not know consciously that it exists.

[...] They deliberately close their eyes to some of the reasons for their own illnesses, and this behavior has become so habitual that they are no longer conscious of their own intent.

Children, however, may be quite conscious of the fact that they willed themselves to become ill, in order to avoid school, or an examination, or a coming feared family event. [...]

That led you, just below normal consciousness, to consider the relationship between father and daughter, and then to think of Ruburt’s father, Del. [...]

[...] I told Jane that I suddenly understood that in the dream I’d experienced paternal feelings — genuine ones — that I’d never known in conscious life, or had access to. [...]

It is the adult’s version of childhood knowledge, the human version of the animal’s knowledge, the conscious version of “unconscious” comprehension. [...]

[...] It was a lapse of consciousness —that’s what bothered me. [...]

[...] I switch the focus of my attention with conscious intent, so to speak. I take all portions of myself into any particular state of consciousness, and I enter various states of consciousness somewhat in the same manner that you can move from one physical country to another.

He does contact me however without his conscious knowledge in his dreams on some occasions. We simply speak to each other, but he does not remember what has been said consciously. [...]

[...] He nicely concludes that we have a right to existence, and even possess a certain consciousness. However, he believed that we were divergent portions of a medium’s consciousness, that had gained relative independence.

[...] There was evidently strong telepathic/clairvoyant communication with another student when this occurred, for as Ruburt, Jane, while conscious, described a certain ancient scene set about a campfire; Jane and her student, also female, described the same scene. [...]

[...] In Ruburt’s case, you had better put Jane’s case here, the personality was able to mature enough to consciously handle more and more data, to let further developments occur. [...]

Before we finish tonight I want to speak about the responsibility for his consciousness, and at least mention the morning dilemma. [...]

Ruburt took the responsibility for his consciousness in other areas far more than most people do. [...]

Ruburt felt his consciousness more powerfully in almost any other area. [...]

It was not that he didn’t accept the responsibility so much as that, in that weakest area, he did not realize the strength of his own conscious thoughts to alter the body mechanism. [...]

[...] It was indeed a healing one, when he was dealing with the plasticity of events, and bringing those he wanted into better focus, by consciously drawing upon his own larger creative abilities. [...]

[...] Some will be given in session time, though not this evening, and other material will be given at various levels of consciousness. [...]

[...] You sense the overall shape of the book, often clearly, but because of the workings of functional consciousness, when you must focus upon a particular passage, that focus necessarily precludes the overall vision at the same time.

[...] Surely this sense suddenly came into operation during my experience with “cosmic consciousness” and was partially responsible for my “Idea Construction” manuscript. [...]

[...] You cannot even operate well in Alpha I consciousness unless you are free enough to recognize your own feelings. [...]

[...] Disease states, so-called, are as necessary to physical life as normal health is, so we are not speaking of a nirvana on earth — but we are saying that it is possible for each reader of this book to quicken his or her private perceptions, and to extend and expand the quality of ordinary consciousness enough so that by contrast to current experience, life could almost be thought of as “heaven on earth.”

[...] All of the conflicting beliefs that have been mentioned thus far are the end result of what I have called before the “official line of consciousness.” [...]

Also, Ruburt’s conscious mind is quite merry over your portrait award, and if you both are merry then I will join in the general enthusiasm.

[...] It is of course an enlargement or extension of the self, and a widening of the boundaries of the self, and therefore of even conscious comprehension.

[...] A note to Ruburt: to impress that universe on a conscious level, you stress your individuality, while at the same time trying to realize that your uniqueness rises each moment from that divine psychological fabric. [...]

[...] Any violence or hatred serves a purpose beyond itself, so that man in a way often performs services of which he is not consciously aware.

Not consciously.

[...] I did not know consciously who the publisher was. [...]

You are each far more consciously aware consciously of the course you have chosen, individually and together, than you realize. [...]

[...] People who are strangers to you consciously feel better because you exist. [...]

You are afraid, and he is, unconsciously, that you will fall off the edges of the known universe, that the conscious mind won’t function out of the body, and that only chaos will meet you, and this is not the case. There are some differences here between what you consciously tell yourself and what you unconsciously are afraid of and what you unconsciously believe. [...]

(To Mark.) Now over here our friend, you are trying too hard and too consciously. [...]
