“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now in the back of your mind, and you may yell at me later, conventional religion is symbolized by the Catholic religion because of its fantastic organization. And in your mind the Pope represents that organization and he paid tribute. [...]

[...] You depend upon her to do all this questioning for you for it releases your mind and you can go into your trance in an easier manner. [...] In the back of your mind the two of you have made a bargain. [...]

[...] There is an association in your mind, however, between the character of Camp and your grandfather, but it is an association from this life that seems to connect them. [...]

Now the red hoods had a peculiar significance, subconsciously speaking, to you because the red subconsciously meant violence and the idea in the back of your mind that religions through the ages have often resulted in violence and also Cardinals, you see, wear red hats at times. [...]

[...] You hypnotize your very nerves, and the cells within your body, for they will react as you expect them to react, and the beliefs of your conscious mind are followed in degree by all portions of the self down to the smallest atom and molecule. [...]

[...] I want to impress upon you the fact that all of this simply follows the natural function of the mind, and to dispel any ideas that you have about the “magical” aspects of hypnosis.

[...] Try to feel the statement in whatever way is possible — that is, do not allow distractions, but if your mind insists upon running about then channel its images in line with your declaration.

[...] Put it from your mind. [...]

[...] As a rule the conscious mind with its own memory system will not accept them. [...] These alter electromagnetic connections both within the mind, the brain, and even the perceptive mechanisms. They bring together reservoirs of energy and set up pathways of activity, allowing the conscious mind to increase its degree of sensitivity to such data. The conscious mind is set free of itself. [...]

[...] Often, for example, seemingly unrelated symbols or images may rise into your mind. [...]

[...] This is something like looking out of the corner of your eye or mind, rather than straight ahead. [...]

[...] The conscious mind knows well of its own fluctuating state. [...]

This means using your mind and applying the mind to the body—not blocking out the mind. [...]

[...] You have it in your mind that you must be spontaneous, that you must let yourself go, and as you also know, spontaneity is not achieved in that manner. [...]

[...] Yet despite the surface attitude you feel, this is a duty, and you have set in your mind a bogeyman, called Orgasm. [...]

You have created the problem in your own mind, of course, and reinforce it. [...]

(9:37.) Ruburt needs your help once again to reassure him that relaxation is safe, that it is safe to let go, that he will not fall into darkness, that his muscles will actually become stronger as they relax, and that his creativity rises to the surface when his body and mind are more relaxed. [...]

[...] He can understand that the best way to use his abilities to their fullest is to relax his body and his mind, to allow both greater freedom, and to exert both. [...]

[...] I have said that the mind is a part of the inner world, but you have access to your own minds, which you ignore; and this access would lead you inevitably to truths about the outer world. [...]

[...] Rob’s mind was on some innocuous chore, now forgotten; he may have been applying gesso ground to a series of panels to be used for paintings. [...]

First I looked at various objects in the living room, such as a vase, a painting on the wall, a plant, and so forth, and tried to let my mind’s eye travel around these objects so that I could clearly picture the far side of them.

[...] He uses emotional inflections delivering the material that greatly add to the meaning of the words themselves, however, and he may have had this in mind. [...]

[...] For some reason it was difficult to get my mind on the business at hand.)

A man who makes a statue uses his conscious mind, his creative abilities, his physical body, and the inner resources of his own being.

[...] You form your image constantly; as many of the artistic processes are hidden, so the inner mechanisms by which you create your material self lie beneath the surface of your conscious mind. [...]

[...] By such constant dream therapy, both body and mind regulate themselves to a large degree. [...]

Some of this has to do with distorted ideas of both the conscious and unconscious minds, using your terms now. Generally speaking, in Western society the conscious mind is seen as coming into its own in early adulthood, as the self rises from the bed of childhood unconsciousness into its critical awareness and differentiation. [...]

[...] The conscious mind is often drugged with sleep just when it could be deriving its greatest benefits from the unconscious, and be able to poise most meaningfully in the reality that you know. In these instances the beauty and illumination of your dream state can be clear in the conscious mind, and used to enrich your physical life. [...]

[...] From childhood, the mind is trained to use its argumentative, separating qualities above all others. [...]

[...] The mind actually becomes more itself, freer to use more of its abilities, allowed to stray from restricted areas, to assimilate, acknowledge and create.

You both comment often about Ruburt’s literal mind, forgetting that it is most knowledgeable as far as symbolic content is concerned. [...]

[...] In the back of your mind you questioned whether giving him a new, more comfortable chair to work in was or was not a smart thing to do: would it encourage him to retreat to his room and his writing, and simply serve to intensify old conditions? [...]

Furthermore, in the back of your mind, and somewhat at least as a result of the Gallaghers’ well-meaning query, you also wondered if you were doing your duty should you not insist that Ruburt receive conventional but definite help? [...]

[...] She thought of making the bank trip after lunch—that is, after eating—and instead changed her mind so that you met. [...]

The living picture of the world grows within the mind. [...] Each color, each line that appears within it has first been painted within a mind, and only then does it materialize without.

[...] Intently:) The body of the earth can be said to have its own soul, or mind (whichever term you prefer). Using this analogy the mountains and oceans, the valleys and rivers and all natural phenomena spring from the earth’s soul, as all events and all manufactured objects appear from the inner mind or soul of mankind.

[...] There is no motion that does not first occur within the mind.

[...] Each living being possesses it, and the living world consists of a spontaneous cooperation that exists between the smallest and the highest, the greatest and the lowly, between the atoms and the molecules and the conscious, reasoning mind.

[...] When you find yourself facing such negative images in your mind and projecting them into the future, you should at once mentally wipe out that image and replace it with a constructive image, seeing yourself, for example, sitting in command of a well-ordered room.

[...] If you think that tomorrow Johnny F will misbehave in study hall, you should, in your mind, replace this with the image of Johnny F behaving very well. [...]

[...] Any time you see yourself in your mind as unhealthy or staggering, you must immediately wipe the image away and make an effort to see instead a mental image of yourself as healthy and strong.

[...] When you are in a poor state of mind, you automatically affect the others you meet, negatively. [...]

The entity in this case would be compared to the mind. [...] As the brain gives orders and communicates messages to the various parts of the physical body, so would the mind or entity do in like manner. The mind would contain all data having to do with past existences and intertwining purposes, problems and relationships, but it would only give such data to the brain as was necessary for its present existence.

[...] In actuality the mind is but a portion of the entity which looks out for the personality on the camouflage plane. Your guardian angel legends and such refer to this part of the entity, which is the mind and which is attached to the present personality during this particular existence. The mind helps to keep the personality from going too far astray. [...]

Never mind. [...]

I will give a brief sample, if you do not mind me using your own present family.

[...] Never mind. [...] The experiment that I’ve got in mind is some more of this stuff going out the back, because I think we’ve done a great job of that, and I feel it’s quite significant. Because we did it in a Creative Writing class without making any suggestions as to what we would meet, or rather than probable selves or anything, I’m going to suggest tonight that we do it with that in mind. [...]

[...] Return to the time and the place gladly, the way someone returns to home, but knowing in the back of your mind that there are many homes and many places and many times, but for now return your focuses, settling back gladly into the body. [...]

[...] Your conscious mind perceives these clearly, while you pretend that this official version is all that exists. Your conscious mind, generally speaking, interprets reality according to your private beliefs and those of your civilization. [...]

[...] It seemed too much to bear, and quite unexplainable in ordinary conscious-mind terms. [...]

[...] In a manner of speaking, your conscious mind, as you think of it, is a psychological convention. [...]

[...] This does not mean that they arose often to the conventional conscious mind, yet even then there were fairly frequent-enough thoughts, for example: What will happen if I hit another car when I’m driving? [...]

My mind’s wings

of my mind.

[...] I discovered them running through my mind as I faced the easel, with no idea of what association might have triggered them. [...]

—and evidently some minds do work in such ways that anything not rooted in the “objective, external” world literally does not exist; this orientation includes the belief, the “fact,” that even all thinking or feeling is so related to that outsideness, or is so a part of it, that there is no separation possible.

(To Ned.) You are not clear in your mind, in your subconscious mind, or even your conscious mind at times, as to what you want. [...]

[...] Now I am concerned with your state of mind, not with the state in which you lived. [...]

Now, I will tell you a secret, but I will tell our regular students the great horror, the fear, that existed in the mind of our friend, Joseph, during the tour. [...]

Once more, it is extremely important that Ruburt keep his mind on his goals, and not burden his conscious mind by trying to figure out circumstances and conditions that are best handled by the infinite intelligence that is within his own subconscious mind. [...]

(I also told Jane that beside the dream I’d like Seth to comment on the fact that I’d awakened this morning with Maude Cardwell on my mind, including the letter I’d written her a couple of weeks ago. [...]

[...] And if you travel too quickly and too far, you will not have confidence, for in the back of your mind you will think: if I do not feel secure in physical reality, then why should I feel secure here... and you will not have the daring that is necessary, nor will you have the peace of mind... and the peace of mind is the key to the door.

[...] for the effects of the body are felt in the mind... and the effects of the mind are felt in the body. [...]

[...] In this existence, when you see a picture in your mind, and when there is strong emotion and vivid desire behind it, it will be constructed. [...]

[...] For in the back of your mind you will think: If I do not feel secure in physical reality, then why should I feel secure here—and you will not have the daring that is necessary, nor will you have the peace of mind—and the peace of mind is the key to the door. [...]

[...] You as an individualized consciousness are a part of this, and you cannot express yourself fully nor fulfill your purpose as an identity, as an individual, if you are not in good health—for the effects of the body are felt in the mind...and the effects of the mind are felt in the body. [...]

[...] In this existence, when you see a picture in your mind, and when there is strong emotion and vivid desire behind it, it will be constructed. [...]
