“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

New paragraph: Despite all “realistic” pragmatic tales to the contrary, the natural state of life itself is one of joy, acquiescence with itself — a state in which action is effective, and the power to act is a natural right. You would see this quite clearly with plants, animals, and all other life if you were not so blinded by beliefs to the contrary. [...]

(Very long pause at 7:50.) So contrary to its own beliefs, and helpless or not, Ruburt was holding his own. [...]

[...] On the contrary he will be swept along in a gestalt of comprehension in which he realizes his own oneness with All That Is.

[...] This simply means that you have consciously accepted them, focused upon them, excluded data to the contrary, narrowed your interests to those specific points, and accordingly activated the unconscious mechanisms that then materialize those convictions through physical experience.

[...] Time does not cause change in matter, appearances to the contrary. [...]

[...] Quite the contrary is the case, however. [...]

[...] I tell you that no agency in the environment brought about that change (intently), because, Ruburt’s earlier romantic poetry to the contrary, that change did not occur. [...]

It might be a good idea to examine that statement, for in the truest sense of human motivation, the fact is that despite all appearances to the contrary, the imagination and the will are never in conflict.

[...] Quite the contrary, the ego is replenished and rather directly. [...]

[...] You may say, “I was born in a house on a certain street in a certain town, and no present belief to the contrary will change that fact.” [...]

[...] Contrary to most thought on such matters, no one is given a particular amount of talent that must then be used.

[...] It increases all healing functions, and despite churchly tales to the contrary, it regenerates and inspires the creative abilities.

[...] But these evidences are not recognized for what they are, attempts being made to the contrary to fit these into the framework of conventional knowledge, where indeed they fit but poorly.

[...] I also suggest contrary to Muldoon that you have a light (underlined) snack. [...]
