“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It does mean that on the whole it is a difficult method, and in utmost honesty and clarity in that regard, I can only tell you what I have said before: regardless of how ill-founded it may seem on certain occasions, that basically speaking the situation becomes less as you pare it down in your mind, rid it of significance in your mind, say things like “Well after all, it is not that bad yet,” or in other ways turn your attention otherwise. [...]

(Lest some hypothetical readers of this material in the future regard Jane and me as idiots, incapable of learning, I’d like to note in our own defense that we’ve made many efforts to put the symptom situation out of mind as much as we’re capable of, yet it doesn’t leave us. [...]

There will be no doubt in your mind after the event. [...]

[...] Now tell yourself that your conscious mind can be alert while you sleep and dream, alert enough to recognize a changed atmosphere.

It makes no difference you see whether you are awake in your terms or asleep in your terms; if your conscious mind is functioning in either state, you will see him.

“As my mind and spirits are now flexible, so are my fingers flexible. [...] My mind is open and clear, therefore my arms and hands which translate my thoughts into printing are open and clear, channels through which my creative energy may flow.”

[...] Intensive concentration along these lines should be followed by several days when you simply do your prayer experiments and then let the whole thing drop from your mind, and give the creative inner self an opportunity to work for you. [...]

As I have tried to explain to you, the rigorous concepts of good and evil are themselves highly distorted, and when you find such a dilemma where goodness is one thing and evil another, and both contrary and separate, then you automatically separate them in your minds and in your feelings and in your fantasies. [...]

[...] And I shall certainly see to it, if I have any abilities to do so, that in your next life, you are put in the position of answering someone whose mind works exactly as yours does. [...]

(To Brady.) And you will be a guest, if you do not mind cavorting with past popes. [...]

In the back of your mind you have wanted the girl to be a boy. [...] But in the back of your mind you still think that the male holds the position of leadership, and therefore, you resent your own feelings when you try to have the girl behave in that feminine manner. [...]

[...] And admit also those misgivings that you have and that rise to the surface of your mind for even those can lead you somewhere. [...]

[...] You look upon your cultural world with its art and manufacture, its cities, technology, and the cultivated use of the intellectual mind. [...]

It has been truthfully said that the “unconscious” is intimately aware of the most minute details of your health, state of mind, and relationships. [...]

[...] The arts, sciences, agriculture — all of these reflect natural contours and tendencies inherent in man’s mind, as general rather than specific attributes emerging first in the dream state, and then sparking specialized intellectual tendencies in the waking state.

[...] They grow out of each other in a kind of spontaneous expansion, a profusion of creativity, while the conscious mind chooses which aspects to experience — and those aspects then become what you call an objective event.

[...] Muscles and mind are both exercised. [...]

(The next morning, Jane awakened with the title of a book in mind. The Afterdeath Journal of an American Philosopher. [...]

All of this material applies to your lives in general and to Ruburt’s physical condition, because you must be clear in your minds as to your own status in that regard, and much of this material will clear the air and dissolve lingering doubts; doubts that cause both of you — but Ruburt in particular — to hold on to the rational approach in a misguided effort to maintain what he thinks of as a balanced viewpoint and open mind. [...]

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

[...] It collects evidence, then, to prove its point, because the rational mind, as you understand it, must have an acceptable reason for everything (underlined) (all intently).

Beliefs are the formations of self-conscious minds, even as buildings are at another level.

[...] Ideas and beliefs bring about those obviously man-made structures that imply self-conscious minds and the ocean of interrelated social events.

(Pause at 11:38.) You do not need a self-conscious mind to feel, and in the “past,” earthquakes represented the feeling-patterns of species in the same way — unstable conditions of consciousness that in themselves initiated natural phenomena, further altering the state of consciousness and the conditions of species as well.

[...] (Long pause.) The fact is that the processes necessary to the desired end are instantly put into action in Framework 2. There is immediate response in Framework 1, though it may not be apparent because the conscious mind is not always equipped to recognize significances that are outside its usual context.

[...] The conscious mind is not able to follow the pieces of the puzzle, so to speak, as it is being put together. [...]

[...] It also knows what changes must occur in his mind—what conflicts must be resolved, and all of this is being taken care of. [...]

Ruburt can do the book he now has in mind, of the outline given. [...]

[...] It is perfectly proper, beneficial and legitimate for him to make any intellectual investigations he chooses, concerning differences in perception in our sessions, and when he is psychically involved on his own, and all other, intuitive or intellectual studies of this sort he has in mind. [...]

We have covered now what I had in mind, and I will leave you. [...]

[...] In his mind religion was connected with self-mortification. [...]

Now he was told under emotionally charged conditions, as you know, by his mother, that he could or would lose his mind. [...]

[...] You settled upon your particular life situation with certain problems and challenges in mind. [...]

[...] This is not only waste of time, but it adversely affects your creativity, and that frame of mind will never generate solutions, but only further difficulties in any area (emphatically).

You wondered in the secret depths of your mind how well-suited Ruburt was for the solitude you believed necessary to produce good work. [...]

[...] It is the duty and challenge of the conscious mind to ascertain cultural reality—but cultural reality cannot supersede natural reality. [...]

[...] He now understands that retreat denies the responsiveness natural to the body, mind, and spirit.

[...] To a large degree its own defense mechanisms protect it from the mind’s negative beliefs — at least to a large extent. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) This allows it to work at an incredibly swift rate that could not be handled by the topmost conscious portions of the mind. [...]

Again, mind games, the insertion of humor and diversion, are extremely valuable, so that you are not trying too hard. [...]

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

[...] At first I put it out of my mind, but soon began to be bothered by a mild feeling of strain, especially when painting—without glasses, by the way. [...]

[...] You used the incident of the optometrist’s notice to give yourself a very fine lesson, for in the back of your mind you did indeed worry and wonder that your eyes were becoming tired. [...]

[...] Instead, “the writer” was seen in his mind as the dominant part of the self, definitely apart from other portions, and with different goals and purposes.

A work schedule is necessary for your peace of mind, Joseph—you work well that way, and use the freedom it gives you. [...]

Yes, mind.

(“Can you tell us more about this mind?”)

[...] The paper that he wrote and you read is important there—he must understand more fully that his mind can indeed direct his body toward flexibility. [...]

Let him simply write what comes into his mind. [...]
