“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Earlier caught myself stewing over my windows new room being accessible that is, noticeable; then cleared that up saying that Frank, etc., will be gone; phone book won’t have address; winter coming—but if I have to, I’ll lock the screen door or put up a note working hours no guests; but anyhow I’ll make conscious decisions and take steps. [...]

[...] So tonight right now I feel I’ve made inner decisions about writing and psychic matters, highly important, that I’m not fully conscious of....

There, your decisions flourish, being a part of All That Is withheld in all of its wondrous stages. Your decisions now are like opening budding flowers. [...]

Now, so do the cells in your own body have self-consciousness and individuality to some extent, and so on a different scale entirely do they make decisions. Their decisions affect you, though they have but vague awareness that you exist as a whole at all. Their decisions indirectly affect your manipulations of camouflage, and of course directly influence your whole state of being. [...]

It was Miss Callahan’s discovery that she needed operations on both eyes that caused this deeper decision. [...]

[...] Yet consciously of course, she was ignorant of her own inner decision, and this is always absolutely necessary.

Of course, the conscious mind cannot be aware of such important and critical inner decisions. [...]

In the dream you make a decision never to partake of such a feast again, and the decision simply represents the multitudinous like decisions that are made by individual people, when they finally recognize the fact that a given act, considered acceptable in the past, does not fit in with the overall intent of life at large. [...]

[...] You do not appreciate your own dream, or your appreciation of it is too remote—and yes, it does contain some reincarnational data, for it shows you a moment in a life when a decision was made, even though the emotional disgust that you felt at the time was separated from you—for the mouse at the time stood not only for itself but also for the victims of war, burned bodies you had seen while soldiers went about the remains to see what loot might be left.

For all of his and your complaining, you understand in rather good measure the decisions and actions that motivate your lives, so that Ruburt is more than usually aware of the manipulations that psychologically and physically lie just beneath the material usually carried by what is ordinarily called the conscious mind. [...]

[...] For many people—most people—carry on the same kind of procedures while making important decisions as to whether or not they will continue life at any given time—but they hide the issues from themselves far more than Ruburt did.

[...] Life decisions are often made in just such a fashion. [...]

[...] He found a mixed world—one hardly black or white, one with some considerable give-and-take, in which under even the most regrettable of circumstances there was (underlined) room for some action, for some improvement, for some decision, for some creative response. [...]

(10:13.) Your joint decision to tackle the entire situation shook the status quo, of course. [...] Ruburt is learning to understand that it is safe to be himself; he must learn to rediscover the sources of his own pleasure, for these provide the most dependable indications by which actions and decisions can be taken. [...]

No conscious decisions were ever really clearly made, because Ruburt felt that ideally (underlined), if he were giving himself true freedom and being true to all his abilities, he would and should be performing in such a manner. [...]

Ruburt did well today, and made the proper decisions finally, being much more aware of his own psychological mobility as his moods and his body statements changed. [...]

[...] Earlier I asked Jane if she was willing to stick by her decision to forgo public life, as stated in the letter she wrote Prentice today, and she said yes. [...]

[...] The simple act of decision will then activate the unconscious mechanisms. [...] Even if you say, “I will go along with all life offers,” you are making a conscious decision. [...]

[...] Before you make your decision, each of these probable actions are equally valid. You choose one of these, and by your decision you make one event out of the three physical. [...]

(10:01.) From any given point of your existence, however, you can glimpse other probable realities, and sense the reverberations of probable actions beneath those physical decisions that you make. [...]

[...] The decision is your own according to your understanding as the individual personality. [...]

([Florence:] “Do we make instantaneous decisions? [...]

([Florence:] “But he had made the decision before.”)

([Joel:] “I wondered if a previous personality had accomplished this or if when that personality went back and became apart of the whole self and this period of reevaluation, if that’s when the decision was made?”)

[...] You may make one particular decision in physical and waking consciousness, and that decision may bring forth certain events. Using your dream camera, you can with practice discover the history of your own psyche, and find the many probable decisions experienced in dreams. These served as a basis from which you made your physical decision. [...]

[...] Make a decision, however, whatever it is, and stick to it in any case—that is, in any given case: you follow me? You will learn that way, and your decisions will be in league with your inclinations at the time.

A session was a good decision.

When you go against those feelings you cannot be satisfied with any decision. [...]

[...] It takes but a moment to check with each other, though so far you usually answer the door, but state your feelings to Ruburt clearly, then ask for his, and make your decision jointly. [...]

All of this had to do with past conscious decisions and responses to situations that, in your terms, no longer existed at the time of the flood. [...]

(Pause at 9:43.) The beliefs that led to their decision to stay had not changed in that regard. [...]

[...] With this set of beliefs, attitudes and background, their decision to stay was highly predictable.

[...] They had told no one in authority of their decision to remain, and had instead closed all the curtains so that others would not be aware of their presence. [...]

(Jane relied on her impulses and Framework 2 for her decision—actions that she would have probably found very difficult to carry out earlier. [...] Actually, a string of events, evidently out of Framework 2, were involved, and would make a most interesting study of how Framework 2 aids one in making decisions or bringing about events they want to see happen. [...]

[...] Jane has withdrawn Emir from consideration at Prentice-Hall, and in back of that decision lies a story too complicated to recite in detail here. [...]

The business decision today is in its way an example not only of Framework 2, but of Ruburt’s growing trust in himself, and in his willingness to act on his own behalf.

(After supper Jane asked me if I agreed with her decision not to call Dr. Kardon, when I hadn’t thought of doing so to begin with—especially in light of the high bill we’d received from St. Joseph’s to begin with, for the last finger episode. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) It was an excellent decision to trust the body’s activities, to take the opportunity to use the episode as a case in point, a change of heart. [...]

[...] Nor should such decisions be made through the auspices of personal fear. [...] You should be free to make your decisions with a fairly clear mind. [...]

[...] You should make no absolute decisions in the latter, say, of other services. [...]

Many habits of repression come about because you are afraid to make conscious decisions, or simply do not want to be bothered with them, and certainly all probable events do not attract you to any important degree. It is, however, an excellent policy to seek out the available conscious decisions that can be made in your lives, for you see your own situations then in a newer clearer light. [...]

[...] Any decision is of course your own—but the overall willingness to explore the creativity possible in such a probability is perhaps more important than any choice you make. [...]

[...] The decisions were delegated to unconscious behavior.

It should not upset him unduly then if it seems to him that he makes “the wrong decision” at any given time, for the process of becoming aware of the impulses is now the important issue, and then to decide between them. [...]

I suggest that you make your own decisions, young lady, for making them you will discover your strengths and weaknesses. You know what you should do, and the decision must be your own.

Decision will be made in another city, not Chicago, that will reach into this state, concerning of course your godly company (again humorously), to which you have taken such a pledge of allegiance. [...]

I will help you rely upon yourself to better advantage, but I will not make your decisions for you, nor allow you to use me, in that respect. [...]

(My pendulum related the symptoms to my decision to paint an oil from a small pen-and-ink sketch I had made in 1969. [...]

[...] With this decision I feel I am back on a kind of track that will lead to more developments; some of these developments may possibly include the kind of painting that triggered the episode; if so, if compatible, all to the good. [...]

[...] The smaller painting mentioned above is part of this series; so in returning to this I think I made a good decision. [...]

[...] It’s too early for decisions to be given here, and perhaps no hard and fast rules are needed... [...]

[...] You concentrate upon those decisions that you make, and disregard the processes involved. This has been carried to an extreme, you see: Often you are so disconnected from those inner workings that your own decisions then appear to come from someplace else. You may be convinced that events happen to you, and are beyond your control, simply because you are so out of touch with yourself that you never catch the moments of your own decisions.

[...] To some extent both of them are aware of the inner processes involved in the final decision. [...]

[...] They will be in touch with their own decisions as they make them.

[...] (Long pause.) In that probable reality, to which each of you can belong to some extent, each person will recognize his or her inherent power of action and decision, and feel an individual sense of belonging with the physical world that springs up in response to individual desire and belief.⁷
