“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The core belief, because of its intensity and because of your habits, will often tend to attract to itself others of a like nature. They will hang on. If you are not accustomed to examining your own mind, then you can allow separate growths of this kind to form about a belief until you cannot distinguish one from the other. This can develop to such an extent that all of your experience is seen only in relationship to this idea-growth. (Seth called for the hyphen.) Data that seems unrelated to this core belief is then not assimilated but thrown into the corners of your mind, unused, and you are denied the value of the information.

— and we will resume dictation. Give us a moment. (Pause.) Core beliefs are those about which you build your life. You are consciously aware of these, though often you do not focus your attention upon them. They become invisible, therefore, unless you become aware of the contents of your conscious mind.

Structured beliefs collect and hold your experience, packaging it, so to speak; and so when you look at a given experience that seems like another, you put it into the same structured package, often without examination. Such beliefs can hold surprises; when you lift up the cover of one you may find that it has served to hide valuable information that did not belong there. An artificial grouping of ideas, like paper flowers, can be collected about a standard core belief.

(10:00.) Usually when you look into your conscious mind you do so for a particular reason, to find some information. But if you have schooled yourself to believe that such data is not consciously available, then it will not occur to you to find it in your conscious mind. If furthermore your conscious data is strongly organized about a core belief, then this will automatically make you blind to experience that is not connected with it.

Now if you are honest with your lists, you will finally come to what I call core beliefs, strong ideas about your own existence. Many other subsidiary beliefs, that earlier seemed separate from each other, should now appear quite clearly as being offshoots of core beliefs. They seem logical only in their relationship to a core idea. Once the core belief is understood to be a false one, the others will fall away.

It is the core belief which is strong enough to so focus your perception that you perceive from the physical world only those events that correlate with it. It is also the strength of the core belief that draws up from the vast bank of inner knowledge only those events that seem to fit within its organization.

Now let me give you a brief example of a core belief. [...] This is a core belief. [...]

This is a sample of an invisible core belief at its worst. [...]

[...] There may be some “invisible beliefs,” and there may be one or two invisible core beliefs. These, following the analogy, would be hidden behind the other brighter, more obvious “planets,” and yet would show their presence through their effects upon your relationships with all of the other visible core beliefs in your “planetary system.”

[...] Various core beliefs, not well assimilated, will give you conflicting self-images. [...] The latter usually involves contrary core beliefs that are alternately pulling you one way and then the other.

[...] You will find a grouping of core beliefs about which the others gather.

Questions you cannot seem to answer as you study your own ideas, for example, may lead you to suspect the existence of such invisible core beliefs. [...]

[...] The core is a core while it is more than the core. [...] For example change core to seed. [...]

([Bette:] “Then it’s the very core from which ...when we get involved in this time and all time is going on, all our lives are going on now—past, present, future...”

([Bette:] “Go back to the core. [...]

[...] To the core?”)

[...] The inner core of the self has no difficulty in uniting and correlating the outward experience of its many personalities, but the subject of reincarnation cannot be understood without a knowledge of the nature of matter.

[...] Instead this is carried on by the core (spelled) inner self.

As the personal subconscious that you know maintains your familiar physical image, so does the core inner self beneath give this personal subconscious the power and ability. [...]

If you identify yourself with this inner core identity, then you realize that you (underlined) form other physical images of yourself beside tile image that you know.

[...] Your own ideas concerning the artist in society being poor, mistreated and at the mercy of others—now this is a core belief of yours that you consider a truth, and the nature of reality.

Now: tell Ruburt there will be schools of thought built upon core beliefs. [...]

The intensity is the core about which the electromagnetic energy units form. In your terms, the more intense the core, the sooner the physical materialization. [...]

[...] The self indeed however reaches out in many ways to form, mold and construct his own environment, even as it in turn reaches out to affect his core of self.

[...] Thoughts, dreams, purposes and intents, plans and wishes are constantly speeding outward from the core of self unimpeded. [...]

Each self is therefore not only ejecting almost in missile fashion such energy from his own core, but he is also constantly impinged by such energy from others. [...]

[...] And yet we say that identity is retained, and yet even what we mean by the core of identity also constantly changes.

[...] Does an onion fear its skin or an apple become afraid of its core? [...]

[...] The massive part is the core. This core is, I believe, not discovered yet [by physicists], and it’s so slow to us that no motion is apparent. [...]

(11:05.) “As the core goes backward — in quotes — ‘in time,’ however, it begins to accelerate. [...] When it emerges in another universe, the faster-than-light particles have slowed down, and the core becomes faster than light. [...]

(Pause at 10:50.) “… [this core is] always surrounded by these faster-than-light particles. [...]

[...] The dead hole seems to swallow itself, with the real fast particles like a lid that gradually diminishes … From our point of view the hole is closed, say, once the faster-than-light particles follow the slower core backward into beginnings.”

(Pause at 9:10.) Many of Ruburt’s beliefs have changed, but the core belief in the Sinful Self has been very stubborn. [...]

(Long pause at 9:37.) In Ruburt’s case the core belief, again, in the Sinful Self was hard to differentiate, because it could appear in many other guises. [...]

[...] 2, engineers will conduct remote investigations of the core of the reactor itself. A specially designed video camera will be inserted into the core so that the actual damage to the pencil-thin fuel rods can be assessed; and hundreds of thousands of sonar readings, taken through openings already present in the reactor, will be assembled by computer into images of the core. Several major steps must follow, all of them on an enormous scale: the lifting of the 160-ton metal “head,” or cap, of the reactor; the removal of the upper plenum assembly, the 55-ton mechanism which makes possible the raising and lowering of fuel control rods into the 100-ton reactor core, thus regulating the intensity of its nuclear reactions; and eventually, the difficult piece-by-piece removal of the damaged core itself. Even then, the core will still be so radioactive that most of the work will have to be done by remote-controlled devices. [...]

[...] Open the inner core and hear their voices. [...]

[...] I want you to recognize the core of identity within yourselves that is familiar with this inner environment, for from your viewpoint other realities also open. [...]

[...] It simply means that they represent the core from which you form your experience.

[...] From them, from their core, your flesh arises.

This energy comes from the core of BEING (in capital letters), from All That Is (with our usual capitals), and represents the source of never-ending vitality. [...]

[...] Basically the creative play exploration, writing, is the main core of my creativity—and I do that for the love of doing it. [...]

[...] This intense desire would then act something like a core of energy projected outward from your own mind, given a form, your form. [...]

[...] On the other hand, if the desire were still more intense, the energy core would be greater, and a portion of your own flow of consciousness would be imparted to the form, so that for a moment you in your room might suddenly smell the salt air, or in some other way perceive the environment in which this pseudoimage stands.

[...] The exterior core of dreams is also blemished to that degree, but the inner core of dreams provides a constant new influx of material, feedback, and insight from the psyche, so that the personality is not at the mercy of its exterior experience only — not confined to environmental feedback only, but ever provided with fresh intuitive data and direction.

The sportsman that you might have been would have gathered, from that same available background, other attitudes and ideas that would have fit in with his concept of himself, and with his core focus. [...]

[...] 2 nuclear reactor has evidently passed; engineers have dissipated the hydrogen bubble in the reactor’s core, but the core temperature is still considerably above normal, and children and pregnant women are still advised to stay out of the area.

[...] … The inner core of the self has telepathic and clairvoyant abilities that greatly affect family relationships—and your civilization. [...]
