“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

These are helpful hints for him to consider. He is used to feedback from others. He enjoys ideas, but in that regard he does not trust himself. When he is alone and writing, the distrust of the self becomes apparent. He does not trust the expression without the feedback.

Sometimes a particular desire, as when he does estimates, will allow him to work unimpeded, because in that area experience has shown him that his estimates are usually more or less correct. There he has anticipated future feedback that he relies upon.

The direct expression through writing confuses him, for he is faced with a different kind of construction, say, than one might feel in a kindergarten, where blocks of wood carry the alphabet, and physical blocks might be moved around to form words. At the same time he is afraid of feedback, and he has learned to minimize his hearing to protect himself from criticism. The writing represents strong portions of Frank’s personality that are intently concerned with the expression of subjective feelings—feelings that appear nebulous at times because they cannot be expressed—so it seems to him—in a direct fashion.

[...] The exterior core of dreams is also blemished to that degree, but the inner core of dreams provides a constant new influx of material, feedback, and insight from the psyche, so that the personality is not at the mercy of its exterior experience only — not confined to environmental feedback only, but ever provided with fresh intuitive data and direction.

Physical feedback is of course necessary for development, and a child deprived of it will not fully mature. [...]

[...] Feedback from the physical environment may trigger an alarming dream that causes the individual to awaken.

[...] He is also given at such times immediate physical feedback: he realizes at once that his body is more at ease, more agile, and so forth. [...]

It seems you need certain practical instructions that involve direct experience, immediate feedback, and Ruburt has been receiving some of that in the dream state, and also to some extent in his waking reality, as he begins to trust the feelings of support and relaxation. [...]

[...] He stopped giving his unconscious feedback in that regard.

[...] When the feedback stopped, the subconscious became panicky. [...]

[...] The subconscious feels that it is doing its job, because Ruburt has not allowed feedback; not approving of fear, not allowing the feelings release, and therefore also cutting down on experience that could counter the feelings and show the subconscious that the fears were exaggerated.

[...] It is your most intimate feedback system, changing with your thought and experience, giving you in flesh the physical counterpart of your thought. [...]

Your environment and your experience in the physical world also provide you with the same kind of feedback. [...]

[...] Later this afternoon, Jane said that she’d been getting feedback on the book from Seth and that she could have a session....

[...] but rather the strong feedback from Seth that had resulted from her reading the book described at the start of the session.

[...] It counts upon feedback data, however. [...]

Now: Dictation: There are natural feedback systems within the body and psyche that operate to set up optimum frameworks of balance, in which your growth and development can take place. [...]

[...] This gives you both a conscious and unconscious feedback system against which to test your experience and alter its nature.

(9:27.) You are taught to submerge the very intuitive abilities that the intellect needs to do its proper work — for the intellect must check with the feeling portions of the self for feedback, for support, for knowledge as to biological conditions. Denied that feedback, it can spin on endlessly in frenzied dry runs. [...]

[...] You have not had the kind of feedback, however, that you want.

[...] You had instant feedback — the interplay of a creative nature between the two of you involving your dreams and the camera,³ and so forth. [...]

[...] They give you vital psychological feedback, and they exercise the reaches of your abilities in ways that are overall most advantageous.

The improvements themselves then give you additional beneficial feedback. [...]

[...] Your world of physical objects is quite important, in that because it allows you to deal with differentiations, to pinpoint energy where you want it while giving you an observable physical effect, so that this training can carry over in other realities in which the same kind of physical feedback is not available, is subsidiary, or is otherwise not as much a part of the camouflage structure.

There is even a certain feedback system that operates here, and yet you must understand that all of these other identities are independent and fully individual. [...]

[...] They point toward definite avenues of expression, avenues that will provide the individual with a sense of actualization, natural power, and that will automatically provide feedback, so that the person knows he is impressing his environment for the better.

Education in your culture is a mixed bag (with ironic and humorous emphasis) — and education comes not from schools alone, but from newspapers and television, magazines and books, from art and from culture’s own feedback. [...]

[...] Physical matter, therefore, acts as a feedback. [...]

[...] People’s ideas about Ruburt’s condition are changing, and you are receiving favorable results and feedback, of course. [...]

[...] In dreams it uses all those splendid energetic abilities freely, without the necessity for physical feedback, caution, or questioning. [...]

[...] These issues and processes then act as excellent feedback, and reverse the negative habits that before operated.
