“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

As far as Ruburt’s personal subconscious mind is concerned, neither of you have to fear any material in it that might be, or present, dangerous, misguided, egocentric to the extreme, or darkly-inhibited phenomena.

[...] It is the concrete material he fears.

[...] The conscious mind, however, with its cultural beliefs and fears, usually cut off to a large degree from the animal wisdom, feels as if it is in the midst of a battle. [...]

Any normal process or feeling of the body can then be magnified or dwelled upon until it seems to provide only further proof of the same fears—which are then projected into the future. [...]

[...] The fear is only what you have created yourself. [...]

[...] You do not solve it by standing in front of it with your arms crossed and closing your eyes and saying, “Surely the solution must be fearful.” [...]

[...] The specific nature of inoculations, however, means that more and more become necessary in that system, for the fear of each newly discovered disease becomes paramount—and no time is given, in your terms, now, for the body to respond naturally to those natural conditions, and therefore build up a natural immunity, biologically speaking.

[...] There is a passage Ruburt read somewhere: “Do not take counsel from your fears”—an excellent piece of advice.

[...] You then made a remark, voicing his own fears as well as your own, saying that you would not let him get away with it, meaning you would not let him get away with not going out as a pattern. [...]

Because of your fears, going out has become an issue. [...]

[...] He feared his mother far more, however, and he tried to temper his own behavior, to ally the intuitions and the intellect or will.

It is imperative, however, that you make an effort not to think in terms of “the symptoms” any longer, but instead to think of ways that Ruburt can condition his body, realizing that he need not be at the mercy of old fears.

[...] If you are afraid of yourself, if you are afraid of your own memories, you will block your associative processes, fearing for example that they will bring to light matters best forgotten — and usually sexual matters.

[...] Yet many people are frightened of remembering dreams because they fear that a dream of disaster will necessarily be followed by such an event. [...]

Your scientists with their instruments have succeeded in inducing the emotions of fear, sorrow, and so forth in some operations, but the experience itself remains subjective and psychological. [...]

[...] Recognition in physical life of the whole self would do much to negate this death fear, since there are rather pleasant psychological experiences which are akin to the experience of death, and which would prepare the personality for this eventuality.

[...] Once the personality realizes that even in life on your plane he is not always bound by physical data, and that even in physical life the most real portion of him is independent of physical matter, and in a personal way, then he will not fear death as a personal ending.

You will shortly see how some diseases are caused by the detriments set up against value fulfillment, often because of fears, doubts, or misunderstandings — and how other diseases may actually lead to instances of value fulfillment that are misread or misinterpreted.

(We were having trouble with our car, and at suppertime I had been voicing fears that it might be finished.)

[...] There is no need to fear his own spontaneity now.

At first thought, it certainly seems as if people love life and fear death — that they seek pleasure and avoid pain.

[...] That his natural emotions are beginning to sense their new freedom—so he has only to go along, and not fear any periods of blueness. [...]

[...] Tell Ruburt the body knows what it is doing, and to not fear complications. [...]

[...] The old ideas of voodooism recognized some of these concepts, but complicated and distorted them with fears of evil, psychic invasion, psychic killing, and so forth. [...]

[...] You can’t clam up so tight in fear that you don’t give yourself the opportunity to use or develop the ability surely; but you don’t use it indiscriminately either. [...]

[...] But then, when I think of it, I’m afraid to let go for fear of being wrong; or of making some sort of display with no legitimate information being given. [...]

[...] She then must take steps of course to protect herself against illness, and she is in fear of robbers for the same reason.

[...] Any fears he had there he picked up through reading, or through the reports of others, so let him also separate his private experience in that respect.

[...] Their own fears trigger within themselves the answering release. [...]

It may outrage your intellect, and the evidence of your physical senses may shout that it is untrue, yet a belief in good without a belief in evil is actually highly realistic, since in physical life it will keep your body healthier, keep you psychologically free of many fears and mental difficulties, and bring you a feeling of ease and spontaneity in which the development of your abilities can be better fulfilled. [...]

[...] We agreed that they represented fears on our parts — that they weren’t literal or precognitive in any sense.)

[...] You have dragged your feet, my dear friend, fearing that the inadequacies of the physical condition would mar the integrity of your work. [...]
