“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He can expect definite physical improvement, and you can expect your own breakthroughs. [...]

Now, you are all ready and raring to go this evening and I expect some company this evening when you go to sleep and while your bodies lie so quietly in bed, unless you snore, I expect that there will be some unusual activity. [...]

[...] Far be it from me to monopolize the conversation, but I expect you all to work and the work can be joyful as many of you know. [...]

[...] I have told you all what I want you to do and I expect you also to keep up with your psy-time experiments. [...]

[...] In other words, on other days of the week I expect you to be active, and when I say “active,” I mean “active.”

[...] I certainly expect our “Dean” (Theodore) to continue with his own development. [...] I also expect another member of the class to come awake in the dream state and to do very well after two years. [...]

[...] I also expect to give you all some instruction that you can use, but more than that, I expect to give you some instruction that you will use. [...]

He is thinking of what to do physically, however, which automatically alters his mental expectations, and further improves his beliefs. Accelerations can be expected, and a few surprises.

[...] A person you feel strongly against at any given time upsets you because he or she does not live up to your expectations. The higher your expectations the greater any divergence from them seems. If you hate a parent it is precisely because you expect such love. A person from whom you expect nothing will never earn your bitterness.

[...] It is precisely because the object is loved that it is so disliked if expectations are not met. You may love a parent, and if the parent does not seem to return the love and denies your expectations, then you may “hate” the same parent because of the love that leads you to expect more. [...]

In a strange manner, then, hatred is a means of returning to love; and left alone and expressed it is meant to communicate a separation that exists in relation to what is expected.

Perhaps you will see how expectations are indeed translated by the individual into concrete reality. [...] These sessions are certainly speeding up your learning process, and they are in themselves naturally the result of your inner expectations.

He was certainly encouraged, and by his mother, to pursue the ways of inward intellectual freedoms, up to a point; but he was early inculcated with the expectation that the outside world meant danger at the least, and tragedy more probably.

When a belief in an abstract term seems to negate another abstract term, it may simply be because your acceptance or expectation is not expansive enough to include both.

[...] Nevertheless, because of your particular constitutions, small vacations should definitely become a part of your yearly existence; and when you expect them, the means for them will come. [...]

And I expect some progress on all your parts, and I do seriously expect you to read and reread the material in the book. [...]

[...] And this is what I expect of each of you, and this is what each of you expect of yourselves. [...]

[...] I simply wanted you to know that the dead can be quite lively, that they are not quiet and somber and that your mother only appeared tired because she knew you expected her to. [...]

(To Natalie.) Now, we have some good progress over here from the silent one in the corner and we expect it to continue. [...]

[...] So I expect you to watch out for them. [...]

Now I bid you a fond good evening, and I expect from you all some excellent dream adventures this week into other areas of reality. [...]

(To Arnold) And some information that will be particularly of interest to you in terms of concepts and I thoroughly expect you to rise to the bait. [...]

[...] I expect, however, all of you to be interested in two things. [...]

[...] Now I am going to pause and I expect a different translation of this in English to our friend Ruburt before we proceed, and proceed we will. [...]

[...] Now, as large muscle areas gradually release, you can expect to see the return of quicker motions, though some may be in the beginning relatively uncoordinated. [...]

[...] You can expect that quicker motion then to begin, and it will in turn demand necessary greater circulation.

[...] You can expect the release in physical terms of more muscles and joints, and see the quickening in motion.

I expect you to release your own energy both in the dream state and the waking state. I expect that each of you will become more and more aware of your own uniqueness. [...]

[...] I want you to stop identifying completely with the conscious self that you know, and I want you also to remember that I told you that though physically I may not speak to you individually in class, the messages are given, and I expect you to be expert enough to receive them. [...]

(To Ron) I expect you to release those portions of your personality, and I am looking where you think I am looking. [...]

Now you are all constrained enough in your waking state so I expect you to show some freedom in your dream state and to appreciate your freedom. [...]

[...] You cannot learn about yourself by studying what is expected of you by others — but only by asking yourself what you expect of yourself, and discovering for yourself in what direction your abilities lie.

I am saying that it is far better to look on the most hoped-for solution to any situation, and to voice that attitude rather than to expect the poorest outcome, or express the most dire of attitudes. [...]

[...] He cannot expect no problems with his classes; I hardly promised that. He can expect an overall successful class arrangement, however, over a sustained period, successful in all main aspects. [...]

[...] The so-sought-after weight gain can be expected shortly also. [...]

[...] If for example his present expectations are faulty, when the ego rests he may recreate a time when expectations were high. The resulting dream will then partially break the circle of poor expectations, with their shoddy physical constructions, and start such an individual along a more beneficial path. In other words, such a dream may begin to transform the physical environment through lifting inner expectation.

[...] As an individual creates his physical image and environment according to his abilities and defects, and in line with his expectations and subconscious and inner needs, so does he create his dreams; and these interact with the outer environment which he has created.

[...] The sensation was very strong and expectant. [...]

[...] Some, returning, provided guidebooks or travel folders, telling us what could be expected. [...] The air is polluted, and you can expect only violence.” [...]

(Pause.) In your world you travel from one country to another, and you do not expect them to be all alike. [...]

[...] You expect time to stay in its place, however. [...]

Walking down the avenue, you expect the trees to stay in their places, and not transform themselves into buildings. [...]

The Sinful-Self concept causes you to expect the worst in any given situation. In that light, hopeful expectation seems quite out of place, and unworkable. [...]

They automatically expect the best from any situation. [...] It will be, for example, less difficult to have pleasant expectations, for they will begin to bubble up by themselves into the mind. [...]

He ignored what seemed to be a fact of reality, built his own constructive expectations, and made them the reality. He expects good things, and receives them. [...]

You must remember, once more, that expectations are the blocks with which you build your reality. [...]

[...] I am trying to give you some insight into how a seemingly trivial event takes place, how telepathy and expectation enter in. [...]

[...] Now I do expect all of this to be followed. [...] A program of sorts, and I will expect progress reports this time. [...]

[...] Have him read this; and I expect him to follow these suggestions as well as you followed the information I gave you. [...]

We expect good results from it, and you are doing very well indeed, and should enjoy an opening in your own work. [...]

If this is the case then the seemingly desired end is not really either desired or expected, and subsequent manipulation of matter will fall short of success. When Ruburt heard from you that the servicemen seemed not to know what was the matter with the car, he instantly remembered what I had said about expectation. Consciously he decided to expect that the car would be fixed, despite your truly gloomy semipredictions.

First of all, the conscious desires must be in league with, and unopposed by, subconscious expectations. [...]

Conscious desire to achieve a given end may represent only a superficial, culturally-adopted wish, that may even be directly opposed to the emotionally-charged desires and expectations of the inner self.

Because his conscious desire was based strongly upon inner emotional need, and not opposed to it, and because the emotional need at that time was powerful, that is his need to leave on vacation, and because he remembered our discussion on expectation, he was able to utilize both conscious and unconscious energies. [...]

You do not expect the world to understand good work. You expect the artist, in whatever field, who is truly good, to be shunted aside. [...]

[...] They expect from each other a kind of blanket approval that neither of you give. [...]

[...] Nor did he speak in the honeyed spiritual tones that the man expected from the psychics he dealt with.

[...] You cannot honestly criticize your society, stand apart from it, and expect it to pat you on the back—that is asking too much of people.
