“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Obviously, the mind can use its reasoning abilities, for example, to come to the conclusion that there is a single god behind the functioning of the world, that there are many gods, that divinity is a fantasy, and that the world itself springs from no reasonable source. [...]

[...] (Pause.) It wants to see the world as it is seen by the minds of others. [...]

[...] The mind is a great discriminator. [...]

[...] It is a good one, while mind and body both relax.

[...] And you must work towards them and use your mind to do so. [...]

[...] You are using your mind, but you are not using it correctly. [...]

[...] It is time for you all to understand the material as I have given it, to use your mind. [...]

[...] It is time for you to challenge your own mind and your own intuition. [...]

In the same fashion, the person who hallucinates the voice of God or a demon actually does so to preserve the idea of sanity in his own mind. [...]

Once again, I activate those coordinates that quicken your own peace of body and mind, and encourage your healing capacities.

[...] That is a feeling that is so important, for it frees the mind from all thoughts of impediments. [...]

His recovery also follows his body’s own unique rhythms, which are as spontaneous as an infant’s. Let him know that his recovery is indeed a fact: he has only to recognize it as so in his mind. [...]

(I told Jane I wouldn’t mind having Seth comment tomorrow. [...]

This deprives body and mind of the zest and purpose needed in order to enjoy any pursuits or activities. [...]

[...] As you do, keep the idea of child’s play in mind, however. [...]

Again, I accelerate those coordinates that lead to peace of mind and body, and promote the healing processes. [...]

I told Jane she needn’t have a session if she wanted to paint, but that if she did go into trance I wouldn’t mind getting something from Seth on the dream I’d had early this morning. [...]

(Long pause.) The waking state as you think of it is a specialized extension of the dream state, and emerges from it to the surface of your awareness, just as your physical locations are specified extensions of locations that exist first within the realm of mind.

[...] You must understand that I am not saying that you are passive, fleeting dreamers, lost in some divine mind, but that you are the unique creative manifestations of a divine intelligence whose creativity is responsible for all realities, which are themselves endowed with creative abilities of their own, with the potential and desire for fulfillment—inheritors indeed of the divine processes themselves. [...]

[...] The money did not come by computing the number of hours worked on a project, for example, or the number of hours worked at a job, but instead accumulated because of the quality of creative work and the inquisitiveness of the creative mind. [...]

(9:15.) The changing-over of your accounts physically means that you, Joseph, in particular came to an important constructive change of mind. [...]

[...] The whole thing seems to me to be a symbolic turning point in world history, full of danger in the terms of Framework 1. To me, all the parties involved in the dispute seem helpless and frightened; it echoes similar conscious-mind threats that I think the species has created for itself throughout recorded history.)

[...] At first thought I didn’t know what to make of the session, which I suppose merely reflects my own indecisive state of mind about the hassle with foreign publishers, Prentice-Hall, money, art, writing, and so forth. [...]

Your painting was meant to bring out from the recesses of your being the accumulation of your knowledge in the form of images — not of people you might meet now on the street, but portraits of the residents of the mind. The residents of the mind are very real. [...]

(We’re presenting his material for me because it has good general application: If Seth deals with my own painted images without even mentioning the words reincarnation or counterparts, still he does reveal how such “residents of the mind” make up part of each person’s innate knowledge of his or her own greater — or larger — self.

[...] You remember other faces, even though the mind you call the conscious one may not recognize the images from that deep inner memory. [...]

Using your conscious mind as a threshold, however, you can discover still more. [...] Imagine many other such paths, all converging; again, imaginatively take one of them in your mind and follow it. [...]

[...] It is important that you remember this position of the conscious mind as you think of it. [...]

The true [mental] physicist² will be a bold explorer — not picking at the universe with small tools, but allowing his consciousness to flow into the many open doors that can be found with no instrument, but with the mind.

[...] You would have understood long ago the connections between mind and body, feelings, health, and illness.

[...] Because for one thing it was general enough so that it did not bring any immediate details into your minds, and left plenty of room for action in an overall manner. [...]

[...] Because that statement was couched as it was, it did not bring any arguments to your minds. [...]

[...] They represent the state of your mind.

In Framework 2 the mind affects the physical brain in a more complete and effective manner than usual, and can spark images, thoughts, or correlations that exist in a context outside of the time that is happening in Framework 1. Time happens at a certain regulated rate, then, obviously, in Framework 1. A certain amount of time is needed there to do a certain amount of work, and according to scientific dictates a specific amount of effort is required to perform different kinds of work.

[...] They appear in your mind as statements of fact, far too obvious for examination.

[...] Often you will find yourself refusing to accept certain thoughts that come to your mind because they conflict with other usually accepted ideas.

Your conscious mind is always trying to give you a clear picture, but you often allow preconceived ideas to block out this intelligence. [...]

(9:54.) They grew up believing that the conscious mind was relatively powerless, that adult experience was set in the days of infancy. [...]

Now: Dictation: When you allow your emotions their natural spontaneous flow they will never engulf you, and always return you refreshed to “logical” conscious-mind thought.

[...] It is of the utmost importance, however, that you understand the power and directing nature of your conscious mind, for otherwise you will believe yourself to be forever at the mercy of conditions and situations over which you feel you have no control.

Again, while the conscious mind is meant to direct the flow of your experience through your beliefs, and to materialize them, the actual mechanics are taken care of automatically by other portions of the self. [...]

(4:14.) The main issue is always the vital importance of the individual’s belief systems, however, and the sense of worth he or she places on body and mind.

[...] The idea is to clear the mind as much as possible from beliefs that impede the fine, smooth workings of the life force, and to actively encourage those beliefs and attitudes that promote health and the development of all aspects of healing experience.

Once more, I activate those coordinates that encourage your own peace of mind and body, and quicken your own healing processes.

The mind is always with you. The particular brain is the physical mechanism that translates the thoughts of the mind. [...]

In such a manner a simplicity is given which is helpful in explanations, but it must be kept in mind that all these explanations are extremely simplified. [...]

Thoughts are psychoelectric patterns, set up by the mind, and transformed to human codes by the brain.

[...] When this is done, as it was this evening, easily, getting up and down from the floor does the same thing physically, reminding the body and the mind of successful performances in the past. [...] Ruburt does not need his conscious mind to perform as a guardian. [...]

[...] Tell him to leave his body alone with his conscious mind in the same way that he leaves a poem alone with his conscious mind when it is forming— to think of his body as a poem. [...]

Certainly such matters were far from my mind. [...]

[...] The word “revelation” came to mind and I tried to dismiss it, yet the word was apt. [...]

[...] For example: “The subconscious is the threshold of idea’s emergence into the individual conscious mind. [...]

“Hon, you’re out of your mind. [...]

[...] The question I asked at its end—about what effects my opinions of Prentice-Hall might have had on Jane over the years—has been on my mind ever since I asked it, and Seth replied that it was “too big a subject” to go into at once. [...]

(Yet she found the changes frightening, although she kept in mind Seth’s material that the fright was not to be feared but understood as expressing buried fears, to put it simply. [...]

(Now I explained to Jane what I considered to be “a gorgeous little illustration” of how unconscious hassles can go on in the psyche quite unsuspected by the conscious mind as the cause for physical difficulties: As stated, when I woke up this afternoon my stomach hurt. [...]

[...] On the other hand, Fell did not go for the next projects that he either offered or had in mind—nor did Ace Books, who fell into the same category. [...]

You may perceive the thought patterns as quickly flashing sentences or words that are usually seen within your mind or within the other mind, or as black letters that form words. [...]

(Pause at 9:43.) With greater practice, the contents of your own mind will become as readily available. [...]

You can request that the thought content of your mind be translated into an intense image, symbolically representing individual thoughts and the overall mental landscape, then take out what you do not like and replace it with more positive images. [...]

(Seth, Jane said, already had other “directions” in mind, involving the right and left; although he hadn’t moved into these areas yet to any great degree via analogies, he had it all planned. [...]

[...] They remain only as memories, having opened up the person’s mind to larger visions of life than he or she may have entertained before.

Once again I activate those coordinates that quicken your peace of body and mind, and so reinforce your own healing processes.

[...] The conscious mind can indeed have such thoughts because it so often tries to solve all problems on its own, until it begins to feel frightened, overburdened, and a failure in its own eyes.

[...] The inner ego (long pause) draws instant and continuous support from the universal consciousness, and the more the exterior ego keeps that fact in mind, the greater its own sense of stability, safety, and self-esteem.
