“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] That intent was in his mind.

[...] His literal mind led him on the one hand to a rich diet of creativity and psychic experience, and to a situation in which he and Joseph could finally be financially free and not in that way threatened.

[...] Ruburt with his practical mind interpreted this more literally than you, and physical restriction was a part of his natural early environment, as it was not in yours. [...]

All plants have minds. They may not have physical brains but they all have minds of their own as you would interpret it, and they are highly active. [...]

[...] There should be questions in your mind besides, what was I in the previous life? [...]

[...] If that moment has distracting, unfavorable aspects, then resolutely bring into your mind whatever images delight or please you at the moment. [...] All of these procedures will serve to quiet your mind and body, and build up your own reserves.

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

[...] What you have begun, however—if you keep to this frame of mind—will indeed accelerate his physical improvement, for his mind will already have made necessary changes.

[...] This also allows his mind to refresh itself. [...]

The peace of mind will enrich his creative abilities—and that will automatically minimize whatever fears he has that physical activity would cut down on his creativity.

[...] You both knew you were different, and whether or not the sessions ever began, your minds were uniquely explorative. [...]

[...] In still greater terms, each life experience is unique so that it is literally impossible to put labels, such as “positive” or “negative” upon any aspect of experience, so keep this in mind also.

(“No, you’ve covered the questions I had in mind.” [...]

(Long pause.) The so-called uppers soon require downers for mood regulation, and the mind ends up in a state of confusion, and often a stupor. [...]

(Very long pause at 3:14.) Doctors should be extremely cautious in the prescription of mind-altering drugs of any kind, and certainly not encourage their use for people in depressed states. [...]

Such realizations have their own biological effects, stimulating all of the healing properties of the body — and also easily propelling the mind toward “higher” organizations, in which all of life’s seeming inadequacies are understood to be redeemed.

The advice I recently gave must particularly be followed — so that he concentrates upon the joys that he possesses, keeps his goals in mind, and trusts the infinite intelligence within him to bring about the desired results. This frees his mind and allows his improvements to continue without interruption.

[...] There’s no questioning mind at work, no new ideas or theories — merely the familiar rehash about All That Is, love, reincarnation, and so forth. [...]

Yes, but the conscious mind should know what the unconscious is doing. [...]

(“What is the mind as opposed to the brain?”)

Brain is mechanism and mind is spirit.

[...] For this analogy alone, meant to further develop your joint understanding of the relationship between your conscious mind and your body, we will make further points. [...]

[...] The conscious mind, however, with its cultural beliefs and fears, usually cut off to a large degree from the animal wisdom, feels as if it is in the midst of a battle. [...]

[...] In exercises his legs are indeed more flexible, his knees more agile, and relaxation of mind is the key, for it allows the body to express its own animal wisdom. [...]

[...] The patterns for all of man’s work appear first in the mind, and the fragments of man’s individual and joint dreams fall together faultlessly to form the mosaic of individual and mass events.” [...]

You have only to let your fears go to discover that you are hardly alone, and that any aloneness that you feel is an illusion cast by your own mind even as the seeming divisions in time are illusions cast by your own mind. [...]

[...] See your mind within your mind as a clear sky or a blank board upon which the answers will come. [...]

[...] You manufacture it in your mind. [...]

[...] There is no real doubt in your mind as to which course to follow. [...]

[...] The same power that moves your mind forms your body.

[...] The body is often closer to the soul than the mind is because it automatically grows as a flower does, trusting its nature.

[...] I see many correlations between this evening’s material and that in Session 917 for Chapter 8; there, among other things, Seth had discussed the reasoning mind, the imaginative mind, and schizophrenia. [...]

“It certainly seems that the best way to get specific answers is to ask specific questions, and the rational mind thinks first of all of something like a list of questions. In that regard, Ruburt’s response before such a session is natural, and to an extent magical, because he knows that no matter what he has been taught, he must to some degree (underlined) forget the questions and the mood that accompanies them with one level of his consciousness, in order to create the proper kind of atmosphere at another level of consciousness—one that allows the answers to come even though they may be presented in a different way than that expected by the rational mind.

“Ruburt’s state of mind was in (telepathic) correspondence with your own state of mind, even as you are in some kind of correspondence with your old (childhood) environment, so in these cases you have a free flow of information at other levels.

It’s not that my mind knows less
than it did before, but that
its reason finally deduced
the magic of its source, and
sensed beneath the logic of its
ways the deeper spontaneous order
that powers its own thought.

[...] Because you are natural, however, your existence is couched in Framework 2, and to some extent you are even saved at times from your own beliefs because additional insights or solutions are directly inserted into your mind in the dream state, or in other moments of the day.

Often such information will be given time and time again, in different ways, until its importance is finally impressed upon your mind. [...]

[...] Then, you consciously assimilate the information, and add the strength and power of the conscious mind, and conscious intent, to the power of the dream’s message.

[...] You should read a few of the later sessions, however, to keep the characteristics of Framework 2 in mind.

[...] I trust myself and my integrity,” if at the same time you are afraid of your own emotions and become upset whenever you catch yourself in what you think of as a negative frame of mind.

Use your conscious mind and its logic. [...]

[...] A woman’s entire adult life can be structured according to such an idea if she does not learn to examine the contents of her mind. [...]

[...] The ideal in their minds becomes so great that they are always dissatisfied with their own performance yet they are afraid to make a start.

[...] The conscious mind, with its normally considered intellect, is meant to assess the practicality of action within your world. [...] The idealization of motion, however, in that person’s mind, or of change, may be denied expression at any given time — but it will nevertheless seek expression through experience. [...]

[...] By opening up your minds to new kinds of significances, however, you can begin to glimpse other orders of events⁴ with which you are quite intimately concerned.

[...] Let your mind, after that, follow through by imagining contacts involving family interactions reaching back through time prior to the taking of the photograph. [...]

[...] Certain important kinds of creativity demand incubation periods, during which the conscious mind cannot follow the inner processes. [...] The “results” then emerge to the conscious mind, and you have inspiration, and a creative “product.”

[...] When he left it, however, he was without such a structure, and when he did discuss such matters with the priests, they often had more pragmatic sexual interests in mind.

[...] To some extent that kind of activity gives his conscious mind something to concentrate upon during creative periods of incubation. [...]

Before we discuss other varieties of health and illness as they more ordinarily appear, I want to bring up the subject of more or less extraordinary conditions — dilemmas of body or mind in early life that often seem to have no cause or meaning.

[...] Another individual, under the same circumstances, might change its mind and decide to go along with the experience of normal life.

I bid you a fond good evening — and once again I activate those coordinates that encourage peace of body and mind, and quicken the healing processes.

Dictation: Luckily the human mind and body are far more flexible, durable and creative than ever given credit for. [...]

[...] Any search into the mind becomes frightening and dangerous, since it might lead to further such “invasion.”

The solutions lie in the conscious mind — I cannot emphasize this too strongly — and in those beliefs that you accept about the nature of reality and, specifically, about the nature of your being.

[...] No one should sit in who is not of same mind yet.

A board is neutral, messages in own mind are not. [...]

[...] It’s as impossible for the entity to control fragment personalities as for the conscious mind to be aware, or control its own heartbeat. [...]

[...] There is room in it for a rather complete explanation of the mind’s associative processes. The mind, as opposed to the brain, perceives in terms of a spacious present. [...]

[...] I wrote back to see exactly what they had in mind.

[...] They also underestimate dream events, for many associations are the result of events that happen in the dream state … where the mind continues its associative processes.

[...] [But] he could also be reacting to a future event of the same nature, for again, the mind does not break time into a series of moments. [...]
