“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] They protect themselves by setting up the conditions of such an encounter, and controlling those conditions, again down to the smallest detail.

[...] His diabetes isn’t yet under control.

They represented parts of his own psyche, still, at that level of consciousness, not having quite assimilated the greater knowledge or experience, so he felt he needed protection—the protection that would beautifully, cleverly and insidiously serve all of his purposes, allowing him to go ahead as he wanted to, but with control drawn back to the body’s discontent. The discontent would still keep him at home working, and yet also serve as a control against too much inner spontaneity until he learned that he could indeed trust the new world of experience.

[...] The control over the physical system is not as complete as when Ruburt is in control of it. [...] I do not operate Ruburt’s controls as automatically as he does, you see.

[...] For they are quite under your control. [...] You will be shown how to recognize those within your experience, to discover which of them has been allowed to run away with you, and how to manage those that seem to be beyond your control.

[...] Only when it refuses responsibility does it finally find itself at the seeming mercy of events over which it appears to have no control.

[...] It does mean that you are not powerless to change events and that each of you, regardless of your position, status, circumstances or physical condition, is in control of your own personal experience.

(I now repeated my question, partly as a means of getting Jane onto another subject and to help her control the depth of the trance. [...]

[...] Her control this time was obviously much better although this was only the second such effort.)

[...] This takes some control, since it is his mannerisms that are retained in a large manner.

[...] The nervous system control… As you see there are large changes, and we are using our energy in a different manner and I can come through to you in this way myself in a more recognizable fashion.

(Jerry was convinced by my actions in the argument sequence that I was Billie or controlled by her at that time. [...]

His psychic experience has grown and expanded, yet all the while controls were used. The controls served many purposes. [...]

[...] Not control, but spontaneity, Now I did not say this, but spontaneity knows its own control, that is an entirely different sort. December does not bring flowers and yet December does not know your means of control. [...]

[...] Its breaks down, however, many strong elements of control after control continually being applied. [...]

(During argument sequence: surprised as anyone else at sudden pounding of hand [has been lacking in strength for some time—had no idea it could pound that hard]—did feel myself controlled by someone else; vivid, angry vital woman, engaged in an argument. [...]

[...] Familiarity with such experiences, again, will quickly teach Ruburt to use the right touch, to learn how to control this acceleration and rush of the self, going either inward or outward; that is, leaving the physical image and returning to it; as with your airplanes, I believe, landing is important, without a crash.

[...] These controls in the long run must be learned individually, directly through experience, but I can be of some aid.

There are always new things to be learned as new levels are reached, new controls to be mastered, new balances to be maintained, new disciplines that must be adopted; and initially this does involve a natural, added exertion of energy and increased activity, before the whole self learns to deal with the new level, and is comfortable in its manipulations.

[...] Too much smooth sailing could then lead to overconfidence, before the whole self had mastered the controls and disciplines really necessary.

[...] The monkey was not free because it had been inoculated with diseased tissue, yet the doctor hoped to keep the disease in control, or leashed, through measured inoculations. [...]

[...] No doctor stood in the parking lot with a monkey on a leash, yet in other terms the event was literal, for your doctors feel that they must control the animal in you to heal, and that without their leash the animals would run wild. [...]

Your weather indeed can be with some truth compared to loosely formed, mainly unconstructed energy, in many ways unbridled and uncontrolled by strong centralization of either subconscious or conscious control. The individual, for example, can to some extent for the purposes of our discussion be considered as elements or energy under psychic centralized control. [...]

Your wars are of course excess, poorly controlled emotional energy. [...] What seems to be a destructive instinct is instead an inability to control emotional energy, and to discharge it in a most effective manner.

[...] Habit will still have some power of restraint for a while yet, but whole blocks of conceptual realizations, and whole blocks of time realizations, are now surely drifting away from the ego’s control.

(Very possible that subconscious controls were used this time, without my knowledge of course, consciously. Nevertheless there must be conscious control and the ego must be certain of its dominant position—not be afraid of being taken over, willy-nilly.

[...] No control personality for example of any kind. [...]

[...] The control must be in our conscious hands, however; regardless.

Something about the third man who could possibly be in control or something—definitely won’t be. [...]

[...] It does not imply that one entity can control another. [...]

The symptoms then have operated as controls, a framework in which spontaneity was allowed—but allowed only so far. [...]

[...] Unconsciously, and at certain levels of consciousness, he figured it was the best route, allowing him spontaneity plus control; in much of this you acquiesced for some time, having grown tired of playing the guardian to his spontaneity.

If you remember this, inner data will come through much more easily, and you will be able to control it. [...] You can train yourself in the recognition of such data, its utilization and control. [...]

[...] He did the job so well that even when he had things well under control, he was not satisfied. [...]

[...] You felt an onrush — or should I say an onslaught? — of data in its pure form, rushing through the inner senses like a wind in a kaleidoscope because you did not know how to control or disentangle it.

Your feeling of a door or funnel is quite legitimate, however, and if you felt attacked because of the onrush of data that seemed to crash down upon you, it was only because of your inability to control the volume, so to speak. [...]

This provides necessary balance and necessary control, and results in the sturdy anchorage of the personality in the environment in which it must survive. [...]

Again however, through this excellent balance and these fine controls, the ego will accept knowledge derived from the dream state, as a man might accept a message from a distant land in which he does not care to dwell, and whose environment would both mystify and frighten him.

[...] Her profound emotions still continued, although she had them under control. [...]

[...] It is of the utmost importance, however, that you understand the power and directing nature of your conscious mind, for otherwise you will believe yourself to be forever at the mercy of conditions and situations over which you feel you have no control.
