“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] You need to learn the power of thought and emotion, but this should fill you with the joy of creativity. [...] You simply have to learn the methods.

You will learn them here. You will learn them through reading, and through listening to your inner self. [...]

[...] We learned what spices would do long before the present generation got hung-up on grass. [...]

(Sally W.: “But I don’t know how to learn them.”)

She learned of the concept of sin through her intense early involvement with the Roman Catholic church. [...] And so, of couse, the sinful self’s own overreactions, although carried out without “malice,” became themselves a portion of Jane’s long-range learning challenges this time.

[...] While at work in my own writing room I occasionally hear her talking to herself as she sits at her card table in the living room, just down the hall: I’ve learned that on such occasions, she’s asleep and often dreaming aloud, solving the psychological equations continually arising among the levels of her psyche as she pursues her chosen learning processes. [...]

[...] It’s very unsettling for us to learn that the prescribed medication isn’t doing its job after all. It is, I remarked somewhat bitterly, another sign of the frustrating, mixed results one must learn to expect, at least in some instances, from the imperfect practice of medicine. [...]

[...] Jane learned to refuse to strike back at the invalid Marie’s rage and sarcasm, to inhibit her spontaneity and impulses, and so habits of repression entered in. [...]

[...] I’ve spent years trying to learn. The urge to learn, perhaps overdone, may be one of the Nebene characteristics, [and as an aside I thoroughly wish the Nebene character did not exist.] But regardless of that, I didn’t think my wish to excel in my chosen field necessarily a poor one. [...] The last year has been very productive as far as learning goes, and I’m at the point where I expect it to begin paying rich dividends. [...]

[...] Ruburt never learned how to handle normal aggressive thoughts.

[...] They also have to do with her teeth and jaw symptoms, and fear of eating recently, we’ve learned.)

[...] I hope I live in this reality long enough to get a few years’ mileage out of what I think I have learned.

This does not mean that you learn what in larger terms you already know; as for example, if you learn a skill. Without the triggering desire, the skill would not be developed; but even when you do learn a skill, you use it in your own unique way. [...]

[...] Since its activities, wisdom and perception rise largely from another kind of reference, then you must often learn to interpret your encounter with the psyche to your usual self. [...] Again: The psyche’s organization follows no such learned predisposition. [...]

[...] You are born with the inclination to learn and to explore. [...]

If you are gifted, and want to be a musician, for example, then you may literally learn while you are asleep, tuning in to the world views of other musicians, both alive and dead in your terms. [...]

[...] Use the language that you have even while you are learning a new one. And again to our friend in the corner (Bette) you will not have to learn declensions. [...]

[...] When he speaks in his sleep in Sumari, you have to learn it in order to understand what he is saying. [...]

[...] There will be many ways that you will learn to use your inner senses and methods that you are finally ready to use. [...]

[...] On the other hand you must learn to recognize them and apply them. [...]

Problems are methods of learning, set by the inner self. [...]

Looked at in this light, you see, they become methods of learning. [...]

[...] He has learned what happens when he does, and he has unlearned the false and distorted lesson that was put upon him in his early years.

[...] We learned later that Seth’s material was very helpful.

[...] He is learning to use them efficiently and well. [...]

Through observing his creations he learns how to use these abilities better. [...]

[...] They are by-products of the learning process, created by you, in themselves quite neutral. [...]

[...] Now, in some native cultures this is not true, but you are learning to encourage spontaneity, and yet within certain areas there must be a concentration of abilities in the physical line and in this extent you are a teacher and you are learning as you teach them. [...] You are angry because you do not understand, as yet, the nature of reality and you have no answers but you can learn the proper questions. You can learn to experience again that spontaneity and to encourage it. [...]

[...] If you make a mistake you can learn from it because you realize it is your fault. If, on the other hand, you believe an accident happens to you that you had nothing to do with, you can learn nothing from it except to duck. [...]

[...] You are learning and then you tell others what you learn but the intuitions are highly involved. [...]

[...] You would also learn things about yourself, and you would recognize the strength of your own individuality and not feel as though you had to go running hunted through the grasses, all kinds of grasses. [...]

[...] Now, you have a lot to do now, but consciously you are not aware of what you do, and little by little you must learn to accept greater and greater portions of your own reality in this life and future lives. In your terms, the quicker you learn the better, this despite the fact that time does not exist. [...]

[...] And you should be coming here to learn more about yourself. In learning what you are you will discover what reality is, and again what the nature of God is. [...]

[...] It takes a while to understand who and what you are, and while you are learning it is often very handy to have someone else tell you and say you are this and so, you can do this and this and this and this is good and this is bad, as you indeed tell children. [...]

[...] Without words or symbols you must learn to look through the props. [...]

Ruburt’s science kit is something picked up, in your terms, from another probability, in which he has learned all there is to learn about science as you know it. [...]

[...] Indeed, though he dislikes the word, he is finishing the first portion of his apprenticeship, in which he became acquainted with a different kind of reality, and had to learn how to equate it with the “normal one.”

[...] The discontent would still keep him at home working, and yet also serve as a control against too much inner spontaneity until he learned that he could indeed trust the new world of experience.

He is learning to use his abilities now in various ways,, though you have only begun to learn what they are. Ruburt is just beginning to learn how to handle different conditions. [...]

Though he does not understand what he does, he is learning control at other layers of consciousness, and he will be able to utilize his abilities far better in our sessions and in other experiments. In other words, various types of such experiences, within reason, are highly beneficial, for he learns from them.

[...] It is like a strong beam, and he must learn how to use it, and how to change its direction. In this case he must learn to be in command of it. [...]

[...] They soon learn that such self-knowledge is not acceptable, however, so they begin to pretend ignorance, quickly learning to tell themselves instead that they have a bug or a virus, or have caught a cold, seemingly for no reason at all.

[...] They also feel an eager desire to learn all they can about their own physical sensations and capabilities.

[...] Children often know quite well the reasons for some of their illnesses, for often they learn from their parents that illness can be used as a means to achieve a desired result.

[...] So if the parents begin such questioning and reassurance when the child is young, then the youngster will learn that while illness may be used to attain a desired result, there are far better, healthier ways of achieving an end result.

We learned the methods
so long ago
that they’re unconscious,
and we’ve hypnotized ourselves
into believing
that we’re the audience,
so I wonder where we served
our apprenticeship.
Under what master magicians did we learn
to form reality
so smoothly that we forgot to tell ourselves
the secret?

(Long pause at 3:35.) It is not too frequently noticed, but many so-called mentally deficient people possess their own unique learning abilities — that is, often they learn what they do learn in a different manner than most other people. [...] They may utilize chemicals in a different way than other people do in the learning process itself. [...]

In a manner of speaking, they are indeed learning centers.⁴ Many people have dreams in which they are attending classes, for example, in another kind of reality. [...] He must learn to isolate these, separate one from the other, and then try to understand the laws that govern them. As he does so, he learns that some of these realities nearly coincide with the physical one, that on certain levels events become physical in the future, for example, while others do not. [...]

[...] If the same amount of time were spent to learn a different kind of science, you could indeed discover far more about the known and unknown realities. [...]

Give us a moment, and rest your hand … A practitioner of this ancient art learns first of all how to become conscious in normal terms, while in the sleep state. [...]

[...] This will be elaborated upon later in the book.³ Our dream-art scientist learns to recognize such points of correlation.

[...] You will learn to become aware of these—you are learning. [...]

[...] I am telling you your family name, and you are learning of your heritage. [...]

At that time you acquire the language of your people, and you learn to use mental concepts in a rather specialized way, and to further designate objects more specifically. Language therefore is bound to color your native thinking processes, so that it becomes almost impossible to wonder how you thought before you learned language.

[...] Again, you put the world and experience together in ways that you have learned so thoroughly that no other ways seem possible. Your beliefs about thoughts, for example, are a part of such learning, and they invisibly structure your understanding.

[...] Your thinking itself is its own kind of invisible language, for you think before you learn language. [...]

[...] For various reasons not to be gone into here, your people have learned not to trust their bodies or their minds. [...]

[...] You must learn to handle and use this energy. [...] If you want to speak in terms of God, then from that infinite gestalt you receive the energy to create, but because you have free will, you create what you choose and you learn through experience. [...]

[...] Now, if you learn from these, then from your standpoint, this is a point of growth and you progress. But many people do not learn for some time, in your terms, and continue in such periods when they are not necessary. [...]

Indeed, if, however, one portion of your personality has not learned from the experience, other portions may well, indeed, learn. [...]

You can follow any road that you choose, but until each individual realizes that he practically forms his own personal life, and has a part in the mass formation of reality that you know it, then there is much learning ahead for this is a lesson you are meant to learn within physical reality. [...]

You will not learn it by trying to escape your own reality, or by attempting to dull your senses. [...] Once you learn how to really tune in, then you will understand what it means to change the direction of your focus.

[...] Your consciousness must learn to organize itself in more than one fashion — or rather, you must be willing to allow your consciousness to use itself more fully. [...]

[...] You can learn to encounter other realities by altering your position within your own psyche.

[...] Usually this is automatic — a learned response that by now appears to be almost instinctive. [...]

[...] By the time he is born he has already learned to accept his parents’ idea of what reality is. [...] He learns quickly, then, to discard the others.

[...] He is aware of light and shadow, of shape and form, though he must learn to distinguish these portions from the available field of reality that you accept as objects, from the available field that you do not accept as objects.

[...] This adds to the confusion, and it is a matter of physical survival that he largely ignores these messages while he learns to focus in physical reality.
