“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In the 82nd session, which was held on the evening of August 27, 1964, Seth said: “When man realizes that he, himself, creates his personal and universal environment in concrete terms, then he can begin to create a private and universal environment much superior to the [present] one, that is the result of haphazard and unenlightened constructions.

[...] And if it seems to you, because of your beliefs, that you are limited here, then I joyfully challenge each of you to create a city, an environment, and perhaps a world, in which no such limitations occur. [...]

In that environment there is a cooperative sociability of a biological nature, that is understood by the animals in their way, and taken for granted by the young of your own species. [...]

CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS, AND POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE MASS BEHAVIOR.

[...]

[...] The precise orientation of that conceptualizing, and the precise orientation of the thinking patterns, wait for certain physical triggers received from the parents and the environment after birth, but the processes of conceptualization and of thought are already established. [...]

[...] Each species comes into being not merely feeling a natural built-in trust in its own validity, but is literally propelled by exuberance in its ability to cope with its environment. [...]

[...] The people within the environment appeared happy because they did not think and everything was done for them and life was, indeed, like an institution and they could not leave. [...]

[...] Now that is also an important element of the dream, you were not content, you see, to stay within the environment and you did feel an inner terror to be so imprisoned. [...]

Each of you, again, chose your parents and environment. [...]

[...] Much later, Ruburt would date the “disreputable” men in his environment, yet neither mother or daughter saw that parallel. [...]

[...] The mother was also bright, but chose to bank upon beauty for escape (from her environment). [...]

[...] Six months before starting “Unknown” Reality, however, he made a few remarks that I’ve applied ever since to life in our physical reality: “Each person chooses his or her parents, accepting in terms of environment and heredity a bank of characteristics, attitudes, and abilities from which to draw in physical life. [...]

[...] The personality itself seems to be having a nightmare, or a series of recurring dreams, during which it returns to the physical environment. [...]

[...] If sufficient restrictions are lifted, so that Ruburt feels he has your blessing, and not just mute acceptance, for example, to try various possibilities; if you take a good vacation out of your immediate environment; if Ruburt feels he can foresee freedom to some extent of activity, in which to manipulate next year—

[...] He had no change of environment as a child, you see. [...]

[...] The body will not function properly, or the overall emotional environment will suffer. [...]

You had a hand in the development of your childhood environment. [...]

In, I repeat, conventional ideas of evolution,¹ this would be a period in which your kind of consciousness experimented with a water environment, with fins instead of lungs. [...]

[...] It relates in its own way to its environment. [...]

[...] They allow the personality to retain its relationship with nonphysical reality, permitting the material self to focus within its earthly environment.

[...] The astral identity of course is aware of communications from both the inner and outer environment. [...]

[...] The bathroom is one of your more fortunate environments. [...]

Of course, many of the difficulties are caused by the environment, and the sooner he can return home the better, regardless of how presumptive this may seem.

I don’t mean to imply that I feel myself entirely released from every worry and fear, only that I now know we do have the freedom to change ourselves and our environment, and that in a very basic manner, we ourselves form the environment to which we then react. [...]

Birth is an aggressive action — the thrust outward with great impetus of a self from within a body into a new environment. [...]

Let us take a very simple example involving a kind and good man in a fairly ordinary environment within your society. [...]

They feel themselves couched in an overall feeling of security and safety, even in the face of an unpleasant environment or situation. [...]

[...] The individual cells are the first animals possessing innate awareness of their environment with rudimentary sense mechanisms, to your way of thinking.

The waking state, then, has its source in the dream state, and all of the objects, environment, and experience that are familiar to you in the waking state also originate in that inner dimension.

Generally he has done very well in regulating the physical organs, however, and in maintaining a level of effectiveness that is most unusual, considering his early unhealthy psychic environment.

[...] You should attempt to feel yourselves a part of the environment through which you pass, and attempt to enter into it rather than feel yourselves as observers.
