“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pause at 10:00.) The brain, as opposed to the mind, needs this correlation. [...] The mind exists independently of the brain, but with connections to it. [...]

As you know, the mind forms matter. [...]

[...] Bodily mechanisms, who holds memories too numerous for the conscious mind to follow.

Man has been endowed, and has endowed himself, with a conscious mind to direct the nature, shape and form of his creations. All deep aspirations and unconscious motivations, all unspoken drives, rise up for the approval or disapproval of the conscious mind, and await its direction.

Experience is the product of the mind, the spirit, conscious thoughts and feelings, and unconscious thoughts and feelings. [...]

An examination of your conscious thoughts will tell you much about the state of your inner mind, your intentions and expectations, and will often lead you to a direct confrontation with challenges and problems. [...]

(9:40.) You have the conscious mind for a good reason. [...]

(To Ned.) Behind me, this fellow behind the rocker, you mark my words and guard your vitality and the love you have of life and of your wife and of your child and the new life you see beginning in him and do not let the other emotions destroy your peace of mind. [...] And trip also through your own vitality and through the bright green forests that grow in your own mind and derive your strength and peace from these. [...]

[...] You let the thoughts of your mind chatter on, but you are not aware of what you are thinking. [...]

[...] Now, when you allow negative thoughts to predominate in your conscious mind you then become more open to the negative thoughts of others. [...]

([Theodore:] “In the back of your mind you think a negative thought, then say, ‘Oops, this is wrong’ and try to change it. [...]

We should most probably here substitute brain for mind, since I believe that is the terminology upon which I decided to settle. Using again the arbitrary divisions, brain for the physical construction, and mind as the intangible, then to set the record straight brain would not sense the inner planes, while mind would deal with them.

[...] They do not however have to be picked up directly from one mind, that is, there does not have to be direct communication.

[...] You must also keep in mind that the individual creates his own environment through his successive incarnations.

(The following paragraph then immediately answered the question that came to my mind. [...]

[...] In your spare moments, see yourself in your mind’s eye easily performing normal physical pursuits as you did before. Remember the feelings that you had, but see this in your mind’s eye as present. [...] See yourself in your mind as clearly as possible square dancing, and enjoying yourself. [...]

[...] When you bought the dog, and particularly since your wife was so for the idea, you feared that she also took this as a sign that you had made your mind up to the fact, or faced the fact, that you would be where you are for some time.

[...] You set up limitations in your mind. [...]

[...] It was a closely guarded secret by all, hidden, but not entirely, from the conscious minds of those involved. [...]

His conscious mind, when he is not writing, should be anchored on something. [...] His mind, his conscious mind, is the type that should be anchored in such a way, for it is overactive, otherwise, and when he is not at his best it will leap to brooding. [...]

Since he had temporarily put you in the role of a controlling factor, this was also in the back of his mind. [...] The issues were not identical, you see, but similar enough in his mind.

[...] Ruburt’s mother, as mentioned earlier, had often told him that if he kept on as he was going he would lose his mind; and contacts with psychologists, when he feels they are testing him, brings up this old issue.

[...] He also wanted to understand the effect of mind on matter. [...]

[...] Those tensions were projected upon it by mental states of mind. [...]

In Ruburt’s particular case, tense states of mind have been primarily responsible for his physical difficulty. [...]

[...] If you will forgive me, the excellent material means automatically, however, that many people with excellent intellects are naturally drawn to it, and some of the minds that will be important in following years are already acquainted with the material, or will be. [...]

Do not think of the mind as a purely mental entity, and of the body as a purely physical one. Instead, think of both mind and body as continuing, interweaving processes that are mental and physical at once. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) In this book, we do want our readers to look at body and mind in a different fashion.

Remember to keep open-minded about individual scientists, also. [...]

Science has unfortunately bound up the minds of its own even most original thinkers, for they dare not stray from certain scientific principles. [...]

[...] With some sense of freedom and play, both of you can combine high qualities of intuitional and intellectual abilities so that they sometimes merge into a higher mind.

You can at least keep these facts in your minds. [...]

[...] He gives himself then physical achievement, and for the first time can say “I did this or that, that I set my mind on, and am succeeding.”

It places his mind on physical performance, and leads automatically into the future in a positive way as he achieves in simpler exercises and then goes on. [...]

When his mind is engrossed as a rule the blockage is far less unless he suddenly remembers and thinks “Oh, now I will have difficulty getting up.” [...]

One point: an unfortunate connection in Ruburt’s mind. [...]

[...] You did this to assure yourselves that these abilities, feminine in both of your minds, would not so get the upper hand that the responsible, and in both of your minds, masculine or dependable aspects of your life would be threatened.

[...] It also held a more masculine than feminine image in his mind however, for the reasons as given.

[...] In his restrained motion he has to some extent (underlined) adopted what he feels to be the more proper, deliberate responsible characteristics connected in his mind with the symbolically masculine, analytical intellectual.

[...] Your illness was then used by Ruburt to bring to the surface of his mind deeply-rooted fears that had been festering beneath. [...]

Jane and I have often been most intrigued by the obvious contradictions involved here, for what can the materialistic scientists use other than mind—or consciousness, that poor epiphenomenon—to study and dissect matter? (Not to mention that innumerable experiments have proven that “physical matter” isn’t solid or objective at all, but “only” energy!) We have, then, the paradox of mind denying its own reality, let alone its importance. [...] But for the materialists, the mind-brain duality isn’t scientific in the orthodox sense. It isn’t falsifiable; that is, it cannot be stated under what precise conditions the mind-brain duality could be proven false. To which, understandably enough, those scientists who do accept the reality of mind reply that neither can the idea be falsified that only what is “physical” is real.

[...] The nature of the subjective mind, however, will never open itself to such tests, which represent, more than anything else, a kind of mechanical psychology, as if you could break down human values to a kind of logical alphabet of psychic atoms and molecules. [...]

[...] His body is responding, however, so let him remember that creativity is playful, and that it always surfaces when he allows his mind to drop its worries.

[...] Such omissions can easily result when the session routine is interrupted—we simply may not keep a particular session that closely in mind as we become involved in other matters during a break. [...]

These steps seem very obvious, and perhaps too easy — but they will bring an immediate sense of ease and a peace of mind while your inner reserves are being released and activated. I have mentioned these steps many times, because they are so vital in clearing the conscious mind, and bringing some sense of relief to the frightened ego.

[...] Do not wonder how or why or when the ideal solution will come, but see it in your mind’s eye as accomplished. [...]

[...] With your resolve in mind, almost any subject matter you begin with will start to lead in the proper direction. [...]

Remind him once again that the conscious mind cannot know of all of the body’s interior actions. And remind him once again of the material I gave him concerning the roles of the conscious and unconscious minds. Remind him also that the so-called unconscious mind is indeed highly conscious—but in a different area of activity—and it knows what it is doing. [...]

He should keep in mind, say, to type several pages or so, put it with the other work, and let again several days pass. [...]

[...] It is the means whereby body and mind refresh themselves. [...]

[...] I want Ruburt to see, however, that healing is taking place, that he can trust his own mind and body, and that all portions of the self are being dealt with, whether or not such is obvious at any given time. [...]

[...] When you are writing you are pleased, finally at least, with the working of your mind—but angry that you are not painting. [...] You wish for the intensified emotional preoccupation that would close your mind to all else but painting.

The work with predictions today, whatever the results, is creative, for it turns his mind into areas that will show results often in completely unpredictable psychic events. [...] The ommm exercises can clear your minds. [...]

[...] It knows quite well that some are stronger and some weaker, but it approves of its own uniqueness—glories in it, without having any other picture in its mind of what it should be. [...]

His ommm exercises can serve a good purpose; they calm body and mind at once, that is at the same time, and they can serve you also. [...]

[...] Unfortunately you will have to work and use your mind. You like to use your mind. [...]

[...] You all have good minds. [...] You will have to give your high intellectual purpose and learn to use your minds as you never used them before. [...]

[...] But I will trick you into using your minds. [...]

Your conscious mind tells you where you are in time and space, and directs your activity in a world of human action. [...] Because you have a conscious mind, then, other portions of your being rely upon it to give them an adequate picture of your situation, and to give the conscious orders for action. [...] To do this, you must use that mind as completely as possible. [...]

The conscious mind has always been aware of the cells’ —

[...] The earth-god concept can be consciously used, but only to your greatest advantage if you understand the purposes of your conscious mind and its relationship with your biological nature.

[...] My mind was a whirl. [...] Had Seth really read Mark’s mind, or had Mark just wanted that to happen and convinced himself that it had? [...]

[...] As I worked at the gallery or at my book or did my house chores, the last session kept coming to mind. If Seth had read Mark’s mind, this was an excellent progression. [...]

“Seth answered each question I had the minute it came to mind,” he said. [...]

But that night, Mark insisted that Seth had read his mind and listened spellbound as Seth told him about the inner senses. [...]

[...] The mind is as effective against viruses as anything else—and in such hypothetical cases immune reactions would be set up biologically, through the mind’s beliefs.

You cannot afford that kind of method now, because you do not believe that the mind itself can help protect the body against disease caused by bacteria or virus. [...]

[...] Any decisions made are made with that in mind.

[...] When you are doing well, it is when you are keeping Framework 2 in mind, and when you make an effort to reinforce each other’s faith. [...]
