“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] This does not mean he should ignore discomfort particularly, but he should take his conscious mind away from his physical body and let it operate alone.

The program outlined for the 21-day period is an excellent incentive, and serves to give his conscious mind some place to focus, so that the inner self can complete the healing process.

[...] A truth about yourself will pop to the surface of your mind, and you will shove it down quickly rather than take advantage of it. [...]

[...] Often you do not approve of them, or they frighten you, and you shove them down into the other portions of your mind. [...]

The conscious mind, the ego, must be momentarily diverted, so that the intuitive self is allowed freedom. [...]

[...] When the conscious mind is so diverted the intuitions can do their work. [...]

[...] They look at things with fresh minds, and their questions can lead both of you along new lines of thought.

[...] We had been busy with our visitors before session time and I hadn’t had my mind on preparing an envelope.

[...] Jimmy now told us it had been on his mind in recent days. [...]

[...] Since Jane couldn’t leave the house by herself, let alone go holiday shopping, she had a close friend buy the Christmas presents she had in mind for me. [...]

[...] Since she wouldn’t be working with that project for some little time now, Jane’s restless creative mind began to play with other ideas. [...]

On April 12 the space shuttle Columbia was launched into orbit around the earth, and I thought that Jane was complementing that obvious exploration of outside space by exploring inner space with the only vehicle she had available—her own mind. [...]

“After supper I discussed with Jane the question I’ve been keeping in mind for Seth, concerning what her sinful self may have learned since we began this series of sessions. [...]

[...] (The old Pandora’s Box idea comes to mind.)

[...] The reasoning mind alone, however, cannot by itself grow even the smallest cell, or activate the life of even one molecule, yet the growth and maintenance of the body is constant.

[...] Took it as a compliment when told she had a mind like a man. [...]

I do indeed activate for you both those coordinates that quicken insight, wisdom, peace of mind, and the healing processes. [...]

[...] The outside distractions from the street, for the first time it seems, are keeping Ruburt at a level of consciousness which is not quite adequate for my delivery of the discussion that I had in mind.

[...] Indeed, under most circumstances they could prove beneficial, although with all good respects for what you have in mind, you would have to literally line the walls with copper in this room.

Now: Your documentary rather neatly shows two portions of the world’s mind operating at odds, rather than in complementary ways—almost as if they were surgically separated, or somehow functionally impaired, as in many ways they have been through misunderstandings throughout the years. [...]

Both portions of this world mind, or world brain, therefore, operate in exaggerated fashions, so that their own characteristics are almost caricatured, untempered as it were by other portions, as if perhaps in an individual the left and right portions of the brain were artificially functionally separated. [...]

[...] The weather, at any given time, is a direct physical interpretation of the inner mass mind. [...]

The inner state of each individual mind is projected outward. [...]

States of mind are not permanent. [...]

[...] Now there is an exaggerated fear on Ruburt’s part of the word arthritic, for in his mind it is connected with his mother’s chronic state. [...]

[...] Simple things amuse simple minds. [...]

[...] And when you read the material, then indeed you know who it is that has given it, and if you hear a laugh behind the material as you read it, let there be no doubt in your mind that I am here. [...]

On the one hand, man did indeed feel that he had fallen from a high estate, because he remembered that earlier freedom of dream reality—a reality in which the other creatures were still to some degree (underlined) immersed.³ Man’s mind, incidentally, at that point had all the abilities that you now assign to it: the great capacity for contrast of imagination and intellect, the drive for objectivity and for subjectivity (softly), the full capacity for the development of language—a keen mind that was as brilliant in any caveman, say, as it is in any man on a modern street.

He lost confidence in the body as a result of his course, and lost trust in his conscious mind as it directs the body. [...]

[...] Naturally, left alone, his body and his mind both work fast, and there is nothing dangerous in that. [...]

Now: When you create a mental image in your mind it is composed of the same properties just mentioned. [...]

Now return in your mind to the situation of the near accident. [...]

[...] There were indeed goods for all—yet those goods seemed to produce little peace of mind, and the workers, through strikes and so forth, demanded more and more a cut of the pie—as if to assuage some inner hunger.

[...] He began to understand, however, that more could be offered, that the inner realities of mind, in some fashion, caused the exterior realities of experience. [...]

[...] I don’t mind noting that I wish she had.² She might have been able to offer insights about it that I couldn’t come up with, especially concerning the seemingly endless abilities of the psyche — call it personalized energy, consciousness, or what-have-you — to travel through its own space and time.

[...] I can still summon it to my mind’s eye when I want to. [...]

[...] I kept this second image in mind for some time before allowing myself to realize that the victim fell amid a group of his fellows. [...]

6. My ruminations in notes 3 and 4 should indicate how difficult it can be for the conscious mind to interpret psychic data arising from other “layers” of itself. [...]

[...] The suggestions concerning hypnosis, therefore, would be of great help in accelerating Ruburt’s progress, and thereby relieving both of your minds.

[...] As you cannot hold even the ego in the palm of your hand, so you cannot hold the inner self within the mind. [...]

Direct experience alone will bring you such knowledge, and yet it will not be held by the conscious mind or by the ego, although flashes of the experience may be momentarily projected within these realms. [...]
