“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It is very important, again, that he follow his inclinations—for overall, when he feels like doing nothing but relaxing, this is what body and mind both need at that point. [...]

I have said this before—but in your minds stress the improvements. [...]

Mind and body both needed a rest, and both will benefit. [...]

(Long pause at 9:23.) I have said this before: the best way to solve a problem is to concentrate upon various solutions vigorously—and then to turn your minds to other subjects, divert yourselves while allowing the creative power some freedom. [...]

[...] That realization alone can further remind you that the conscious mind does not have to have all (underlined) the information required. [...]

On the left side, looking at the second diagram, you will find people in this case, and in this country, of a more “liberal” frame of mind. [...]

[...] If you are instead white and wealthy and hold such beliefs, you will think yourself quite inferior indeed, and do everything in your power to show how picturesque, and liberal and open-minded, and black or brown you can be, while still being white, fairly well-off, and perhaps secretly addicted to your Christianity.

Many believe that it is a time of spiritual and/or physical deterioration, an era in which all those hard-won attributes of maturity vanish, and the reasoning faculties disappear like grains of sand held too long by the thinking hands of the mind.

[...] Certain earth experiences however are dependent upon duration in time, and result as a consequence of the mind playing upon its experience through long earth seasons.

[...] Love expressed through touch, in whatever way, has a reviving effect upon the body and the mind. [...]

[...] If peace of mind is a goal, if it is, the late delivery of the paper is ludicrous. [...]

Now the bodybuilders and sports teams have coaches, who remind them constantly of the goal in mind, and arouse their enthusiasm. [...]

I would like both of you to read the chapter on affirmation (in Personal Reality), and to keep it in mind daily. [...]

[...] Have him read or read to him—the recent passages dealing with the use of the conscious mind and the use of the subconscious mind, when I discussed their various roles. [...]

(I read to her Seth’s opening paragraphs of yesterday’s session; these dealt with the roles of the conscious and subconscious minds. [...]

[...] For a few days, again, have Ruburt read those portions I have given, dealing with the roles of the conscious and subconscious minds. [...]

[...] An escapist movie or novel, or the purchase of some small frivolous item may also serve to relax your conscious mind. We are actually involved in changing a way of life, in altering our very view of the self and the world in the hopes of acquiring a new sense of harmony with our bodies, our minds, our fellow creatures, and the environment.

[...] It may even achieve an allure in some people’s minds.

Once again I accelerate those coordinates that activate your own peace of body and mind, and accelerate all of your bodily processes. [...]

[...] One day I went into the bedroom where it was quiet, closed my eyes, lay down and began clearing my mind of thoughts for my psy-time exercise. Several times Miss Cunningham came to mind: I wanted to ask her doctor about her condition but hesitated because I wasn’t a member of her family.

Of course, the conscious mind cannot be aware of such critical inner decisions. [...]

All kinds of questions came into Rob’s mind. [...]

I wasn’t about to close off the Seth material until I made up my mind, though. [...]

[...] The mind’s powers are far greater than those generally assigned to rational thought alone, as per our last (private) sessions. Rational reasoning, overdone, can for example actually limit practical use of the intellect’s faculties, and therefore serve to dim some of the mind’s scope. In a fashion, again, Helper represents the true capacity of the mind’s functioning, the kind of instant comprehension that is behind both the intuitions and the intellect’s activities. [...]

Memory was so perfected that men at one time were indeed living histories, and carried within their minds their genealogies and backgrounds and the knowledge of their peoples, which were then passed on to their children. [...] It is true that, practically speaking, a man’s mind, or a woman’s, could not hold all of the information available now in your world—but much of that information does not deal with basic knowledge about the universe or man’s place within it. [...]

[...] Early man was in that same position, and his inventions—his tools, his artistry, and so forth—came into being from the inner, ever-present realm of the mind, triggered by his unconscious but quite real estimation of his position within the universe at large, and in regard to his own environment.

[...] In your terms, reading and writing are great advantages, but it is also true that in the past the mind was also used to record information, and transmit it with an artistry that you do not now use.

Psychic sympathy can be expanded in some space of the mind, of any mind, of any inner mind. [...]

[...] The twinges that he feels are indeed warnings, or nudges rather, from his own subconscious mind, that he do this and thus bring the plans for it into actual reality.

[...] The discussion may be involved with these also, or at least touch upon them in his mind.

I would add–not to this–that of late Ruburt is learning to let his subconscious mind work for him, rather than against him; having to do with the gallery. [...]

Now, in all of your minds there is still this conception that what you want to do automatically, because you want to do it, must be wrong because it is too easy. [...] This universe is not maintained by conscious thought and if all of you together had to consciously decide ahead of time why the universe should exist, it would not exist, for you would not have made up your mind yet. [...]

[...] Now, your own unconscious mind knew this and you were told to come so that the message could be delivered rather forcibly, so consider this a forcible delivery. [...]

Now, if there ever was a puritan remark it was the one that just escaped our friend, Ruburt’s lips, for in his mind still, you see, you must have this purpose and be active and it is wrong to simply go back to bed for no better reason than that you want to go back to bed. [...]

[...] The devil deals with idle minds.” [...]

[...] The color of you walls can influence your state of mind—a simple-enough fact; but the uses to which you put words, both silent and verbal, affect the state of your mind far more.

[...] Suggestions given then, good ones, to a mind already distracted by fear or worry, will do little good.

There is certainly no need to romanticize schizophrenic behavior, for its romantic-like elements have long been coupled in the public mind in an unfortunate manner, seeming to place the madman and the genius in some kind of indefinable relationship. [...]

Beneath these ideas is the fear of the mind itself, the belief that its abilities are fine and dependable up to a point — but if it goes too far then it is in trouble.

Once again, I bid you a fond early evening, and activate those coordinates that quicken your own peace of body and mind, and encourage the healing processes.

The nuclear power plants are connected in your mind. [...]

In your mind you creatively envision the ideal—the sanity of some future culture that, hopefully, our work and others will bring about: if not tomorrow, some “time.” [...]

[...] This is, if you will forgive the term, beautifully and cleverly connected in your mind with “Unknown” Reality—the book. [...]

This applies also to the taxes, for in the back of your mind you also think of the good sane uses, the ideal in usage, to which such money could be given. [...]

The entire affair masks the fact that in certain terms there is a mass world mind, that has the same responsibility for the body of the earth as a man’s mind does to his own corporeal image.

[...] The world mind needs all of that information in order to produce continuous world events. [...] The world mind, then, in your terms, could not be conscious all at one time, and the varying graduated waking-sleeping patterns—the overlapping between the extremes you mention—provide overall balance and allow for smooth communications of an inner kind.

[...] In a manner of speaking, the mind sends out electromagnetic patterns that are used almost like aerial bridges, upon which the signals of consciousness travel invisibly through your world. [...]

In the past, again, poetry was an important method of communication, but the “rationally” tuned mind suspects it. [...]

(10:20.) Now: Make a distinction in your mind between man and man’s works. [...] Collect pages and reams of such material if it suits your fancy — and I am speaking not only to you, or to Ruburt, but to anyone who hopes to find a hint of truth, peace of mind, or creativity.

[...] How far can we go with any of the great social, scientific, religious ideas that are so peculiarly the offshoots of man’s mind?”

It is imperative, for any peace of mind, that you believe in that existence of man’s innate good intent.

[...] But the body depends on the conscious mind to give it a clear assessment of precise conditions of the space and time it occupies. [...]

You do still continue such activity, again, [although] you have turned your conscious minds away from those directions. [...]

[...] You will organize the contents of your mind and the information available to you according to your own intents and purposes.

[...] The discoveries and inventions that made the industrial world possible were always latent in man’s mind, and represented an inner glittering landscape of probability that he brought into actualization through the use of dreams—the intuitive and the conscious manipulation of material that was at one time latent.

[...] The need to possess such knowledge is uppermost in man’s mind now, and so it also becomes a vital dream topic or subject. [...]

Your conscious mind can only accept a certain sequence of probabilities as recognized experience. [...]

[...] When you think of power you think of, say, nuclear energy, or solar energy—but power is the creative energy within men’s minds that allows them to use such powers, such energies, such forces.

[...] They help focus both mind and imagination. [...]

[...] I think they’re very effective; I try to keep them constantly in mind:

[...] Yet photographs are also connected in your mind with paintings to some degree. [...]

[...] (On Sunday, when I bought an album to keep them in.) You have the idea of how the book can appear, a model that exists in your mind. [...]

(“I thought of the photo connection when I first bought the album, and told Jane what I had in mind. [...]

[...] I know of your trick with the crossword puzzles, so that words later come to your mind at your suggestion. [...]

[...] You do know, however, that your mind can have such material on hand. [...]

[...] Simply keep relaxation in mind.

[...] Instant images may come to mind at once, but if success is not achieved immediately, have the patient try again, for in almost all cases some inner pictures will be perceived.

Different phrases with the same meaning may come into your own mind. [...]

Simply make a straightforward request, asking that some picture or image be presented in your inner mind, that will serve as representative of those portions of your own inner reality.

Once again, I bid you a fond early evening, and I accelerate those coordinates that bring about peace of body and mind, and quicken the healing processes.
