“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Concentration in other areas, as you suggested, is the answer now while you made definite efforts in the moving direction. [...]

[...] He has been tearing himself down psychologically in an effort to find out what has been wrong, that the symptoms persist. [...]

[...] Then we try different things in an effort to get rid of them, etc.”)

In your efforts both of you often put the concentration upon the things that are wrong. [...]

You felt that actively going out however, in terms of a projection involved a greater effort and energy, and this particular aspect you had not tied into your art. [...]

(The next day, January 28, after some debate, Jane called Ace in an effort to learn the status of the dream book. [...]

[...] Which of your efforts paid off, so to speak? [...]

[...] Lately he has made an effort to speak out.

(“Have Jane’s dreams changed in character since we began our latest efforts to help her?”)

[...] Always ask yourself: “Do I want to be the one who’s trying to do something, or the one who criticizes the efforts of others?”)

[...] He should understand this by now, but the effort, energy and concentration that is expended. [...]

(Jane said she felt her awareness “rising” as she did this; she believes she came part of the way out of her trance state, then sank back into it when she made her effort to relax. [...]

[...] As it was we spent about half an hour during break in an effort to begin to sort out the impressions. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s concentrated work on our test data today simply resulted in his strained efforts on my behalf. [...]

[...] (Pause.) This would induce on your part an honest effort to face the raw emotion of another personality, and portray it.

[...] Think of your painting as a spontaneous play of the godlike self, who paints or plays for the pure joy of doing so, without effort, without questions, and without plans. [...]

An individual inner self, then, through constant massive effort of great creative intensity, cooperates with all other inner selves to form and maintain the physical reality that you know, so that physical reality is an offshoot or by-product of (pause), the highly conscious creative inner self. [...]

[...] They are actually oscillating, ever-moving, highly charged gestalts of EE units (pause), organized and maintained by collective efforts on the part of inner selves. [...]

[...] My efforts didn’t break the projection spell; I merely remained hovering where I was. [...]

[...] Finally I nudged her, and with an effort told her something of what had transpired. [...]

We will make an effort to return to our own material.

[...] I am most sympathetic, Joseph, to the predicament in which you found yourself last weekend, and when we are alone we will discuss efforts that may be taken in the future. [...]

In the first place, it is really impossible to separate portions of the self, and we make such distinctions only in an effort to explain the many facets of the personality. [...]

[...] And this sham allows the ego to continue denying those inner emotions in an effort to maintain its permanence.

[...] Nevertheless, beneath there is a denial of involvement, and a strong desire for permanency, both of which are repressed, and the stronger the efforts put forth by the ego to repress these tendencies, then these tendencies will explode with inadequate stimuli. [...]

For in the very quiet and discipline required to follow the problem, those reactions on the part of the personality will set up actions which will of themselves solve the problem; and we will find that also there will be suggestions given, and very important suggestions, whereby a systematic effort will be made on the part of the personality to enlarge the scope of his action, in spite of the ego’s anxiety to limit them, and this itself will seem to work a miracle.

[...] The pace quickened to some degree, and as stated before I made no effort to interfere with the spontaneity of the session. [...]

We will make definite efforts in that direction. [...]

[...] I make no effort to direct Ruburt’s writings in any manner. [...]

[...] I thought it best to continue, rather than to backtrack in an effort to straighten it out. [...]

Ego also fears spontaneity, for it cannot control action; being a part of action, most of its efforts of necessity are thwarted. [...]

This does not mean that effort is not required, and determination. [...]

The methods that I will outline demand concentration and effort. [...]

Any true success must come through your own efforts, for no other success has any meaning at all. [...]

[...] If you are to return to Australia it will be through your own individual efforts, and not through a windfall nor a gift from heaven.

[...] Whenever our sessions, your own efforts, or other events, have convinced Ruburt either of the personal safe universe or of the basic safety of the self, that reassurance helped quiet the unconscious fears, and allowed him then to direct his will toward physical improvements.

[...] I would like to mention, however, that neither of you make any serious effort to change your beliefs about the world of men.

(I made an effort to reassure Jane at the end of our talk, by telling her I loved her and that I was going to be with her no matter what happened. [...]

[...] I couldn’t believe that after all this time and effort over the years, we were back to square one, trying to figure it all out. [...]

There is also a large effort made when he speaks through Ruburt and an effort on his part. [...]

For the personality in such circumstances will shrivel up, and ultimately the physical self will die ahead of its time, and despite all emergency efforts made by the ego, unless it makes the necessary effort. [...]
