“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The invisible environment within your mind is not as lonely as you might think, and your seeming inner isolation is caused by the ego’s persistent guard. [...]

[...] By changing this past in your mind, now, in your present, you can change not only its nature but its effect, and not only upon yourself but upon others.

[...] In your mind imagine it not simply wiped out, but replaced by another event of more beneficial nature. [...]

[...] Yet remember that for all of its failings, your peace of mind is also the result of the American services that were available when you did not have much money, as they are now.

[...] Certainly the young are usually poor, rather than rich, and what is best to shock a complacent mind out of its complacency—its feared complacency? [...]

[...] But this time of emotional turmoil takes their minds off the fact that their children are grown, and adds a new challenge—one that convinces them that life is still exciting, that you must be on your toes. [...]

(I think it most important—vital—that we keep in mind that we want to concentrate upon ends, not means. [...] Let the creative unconscious mind take care of all of that.

The night and day constitute a framework within which your experience is couched, providing the conscious mind with needed stimuli and relaxation, and allowing for proper assimilation of events. [...]

[...] In each case, also, the nature of the conscious mind sets up its own territory-of-identity (with hyphens) that it regards as its own. [...]

(The night of the session it literally swept me along toward the end and I want to make these comments while the affair is fresh in my mind. [...]

(Questions, of course, instantly come to mind. [...]

2. I’d say that when he talks about the “unused portions of the brain,” that physical organ, Seth means qualities of nonphysical mind as well. We still have much to learn about the brain (let alone the mind); even though by now all sections of the brain have been probed down to the molecular level, no trace or imprint of a thought has ever been found within its tissue. [...]

4. For three hours to write whatever he wants, freeing mind from symptoms and responsibilities. [...]

Castaneda’s books, for all their seeming unconventionality, had a niche to fall into, for here was the quite conventional scholar exploring a culture, even of the mind; not his own—but safely, within an academic framework to which he then returned, and to which academic readers could identify. [...]

[...] You would have been put through experiences most difficult to cope with, that would have so disrupted your peace of mind that the work might well have not progressed to this stage.

Frank (Longwell) is far more open-minded than most chiropractors or doctors, and he has learned much. [...]

[...] I have something in mind that I will tell you at another session. [...]

in the world of the mind

[...] Nor, because you ask specific questions at a specific session, and I answer them, does it necessarily mean that the program has not been prepared, in your terms, earlier; for on many occasions I will see the questions within your mind, or the minds of your witnesses, and will therefore answer them, in your terms ahead of time.

[...] I may prepare my film in advance, in your terms, when consciously Ruburt is not aware of it, and when no impression is made upon his conscious mind.

You blamed yourself for financial reasons, though consciously this would be the last thing to come to your mind. [...]

(Aggrieved but smiling:) I had much more than a mere chapter in mind. I had a complete book in mind, though not of great length. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The name Grossman also comes to mind, but I do not know the connection. [...] The name Albert comes to mind. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s mind, believe it or not, is much like my own — though, if you’ll forgive me, in a very limited fashion. [...] The inner senses provided him with much, but nevertheless the ideas contained in it represented an achievement of the conscious mind. [...]

[...] For on many occasions I will see the questions within your mind, or the minds of your witnesses, and [again in your terms] will therefore answer them ahead of time.

Now I do not mind being nonscientific, and neither do any of you mind, because if all of your realities were confined to scientific theories you would have no realities at all, and neither would your fine scientists.³⁶ And in my time, I was also quite a dogmatic scientist. [...]

Two quick reminders: 1. Clairvoyance (“clear-seeing”) is the paranormal perception of events or objects regardless of distance, and without help from another mind. 2. Telepathy is the communication of thoughts or emotions between minds, regardless of distance. [...]

[...] There have been experiments upon your earth (by consciousness) with both men and animals at a different level than just mentioned, but with that in mind — herds of animals, for example, with each animal quite aware of the joint knowledge of the herd, the dangers to be encountered in any individual territory, and a psychological structure in which the mass consciousness of the herd recognized the individual consciousness of each animal, and protected it.

[...] Most individuals, for example, develop intellectually or emotionally or physically, ignoring to a large degree the body’s and the mind’s full potential. [...]

In the systems in which evolution of consciousness has worked in that fashion, all faculties of body and mind in one “lifetime” are beautifully utilized. [...]

[...] I’d had the first question in mind since Seth had come through with the 679th session two weeks ago:

[...] That’s the best way to use suggestion, I said: keep the goal in mind and let the unconscious mind see to those healing details necessary to get one where one wants to go.

[...] I said I wouldn’t mind Seth commenting on the dream. [...]

[...] Last night’s session was in my mind, of course. [...]

[...] To my mind at the moment, that course of action would be the “something to be done” if we failed to get enough help from these late sessions.

(9:49.) Those areas have a tendency to be neglected in your minds, as if next to Ruburt’s problems they are relatively insignificant—but you would not find them so insignificant if they represented their own vital problem areas. [...]

[...] First I have some personal notes, if you do not mind.

Now this helper, as time goes by, can be counted upon to help you in whatever ways it can, as long as Ruburt continues in his present frame of mind and habit, for this itself is bringing about improvements in all areas of your lives.

[...] He kept careful note of his feeling and reactions during that time, and knew he could not get in that state of mind again: so he started in quotes “upward.” [...]

[...] In the waking state the conscious mind must focus rather exclusively upon that one particular point of concentration that you call reality, simply so that it can direct your activities properly in temporal life. [...]

Because you have in the past convinced yourselves that the conscious mind must of necessity be cut off from inner reality, you think that it must be alienated from the dream state. [...]

[...] The piece was about a European psychologist, and included his considered opinion that “dreams are the junk of the mind.” [...]

[...] To some degree Ruburt’s mind is the connective between us. [...]

[...] Yet they are very responsive to the psychic needs of the people, and so they “appear” at various times in history with certain messages, in the same way that certain dreams might reoccur in a private mind.

[...] In its great exuberant physical energy it chases its own tail, scales the furniture, tires itself out — and man’s mind exuberantly plays with itself in somewhat the same fashion. [...]

[...] He counted its humiliations over and over in his mind, until his mind became an almost completely closed environment, in which only certain ideas were allowed entry.

He believed in heroic characteristics, and became blinded by an idealized superman version of an Aryan strong in mind and body. [...]

How could such things “slip my mind”?—front ligament (or muscle) of left leg this AM. [...]
