“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It does indeed if you do not use the remark as an excuse. It means that you must give up some of your precious misconceptions. The misconceptions are these, and they apply to each of you: 1). “I am a limited self.” For no matter what I tell you, you still seem to fear as if you are limited and as if your self is something within your head bounded by your bony skull, and enclosed within your physical body. This is an erroneous conception. 2). The belief that you are limited in energy and that you are inferior, and that you are helpless. As long as you believe you are helpless, you are helpless. As long as you believe you are limited, you are limited. These misconceptions are what inhibit you from using the energy that is your own.

You form the physical reality that you know! Then form a better one! I am telling you that you can do it! As long as you insist upon the misconceptions, then you will have the kind of experience you have been having. For it follows, as the night follows the day, you form your reality. This also means that you can change it!

(Again, during the break the point that “the answers are within us” was being discussed and the further point that these answers were evolved emotionally rather than wholly rationally. Seth had said that this was true only as long as we give up our misconceptions. Seth interjected the following.)

If you do not give up the misconceptions, then your emotions will be those of self-pity and despondency and they will lead you astray.

[...] Because of your time misconceptions you make serious errors whenever you attempt any predictions into life after death, or life within other systems than your own. [...]

[...] The time concept is but one example, and it is responsible for many of your most cherished misconceptions. [...]

My last remarks were meant to clear up if possible some of the misconceptions that you have concerning your own time concept. [...]

[...] Part of this is caused by a misconception, and it is because of this misconception that he found it difficult to see himself as a so-called psychic.

[...] There are many misconceptions connected with it, and first of all we shall try to dismiss these.

[...] I usually use the term “entity” in preference to the term “soul,” simply because those particular misconceptions are not so connected with the word “entity,” and its connotations are less religious in an organizational sense.

[...] I put the word “good” in quotes for now because of your misconceptions about the nature of good and evil, which we will discuss somewhat later.²

2. Jane and I are really looking forward to Seth’s material on man’s “misconceptions about the nature of good and evil.” [...]

[...] Your feelings then helped feed Ruburt’s own misconceptions. [...]

All of this stems, again, from your misconception of the nature of the creative self. [...]

[...] You felt that this had some (underlined) terrifying implications, many of them threatening your sense of masculinity since, because of your misconceptions you were convinced ahead of time that they would never be used as a means of livelihood.

Now: I would like to clear up a few misconceptions. [...]

[...] So many old fears were based upon misconceptions on the part of the personality that in younger years found itself to be quite different than its contemporaries, and gradually began to set up defenses against them.

Often actions that are quite right for you then appear wrong, in the light of your misconceptions. [...]

His education, his everyday pattern of existence, his cultural values, tend to imprison him so that he can only view other societies through the murky haze of his own misconceptions. [...]

There are so many gradations, and you have so many misconceptions, that I must tell you that at times I am appalled. [...]

[...] What you call the subconscious is merely an ill-defined meeting place of inner and outer experience; and I am forced to use these terms inner and outer only because of your misconception of duality.

The “laws” of supply and demand are misconceptions based upon a quite uncomplimentary belief in man’s basic greedy nature. [...]

[...] It is a triumph of spiritual and psychological identity, ever choosing from a myriad of probable realities its own clear unassailable focus (very intently). When you don’t realize this, then you project upon life after death all of the old misconceptions. [...]

Through such feelings the psyche breaks through all misconceptions, hinting at the nature of the self and of the universe at once.

[...] You carry many of your misconceptions into certain areas of your dream reality and even there you close many doors. [...]

[...] But when you cannot do this for yourself, and when your own misconceptions hold you back from using your own abilities, then there are others who can reawaken your own energies and direct them to your advantage; who can meet you and speak with you when you are in more auspicious states than the one you usually call conscious— When you are at your most creative and alert, in other words, when you are asleep. [...]

This conception is to blame for the superstitious attitudes, however, concerning the inner world as a whole, and some of man’s misconceptions have been ludicrous and pathetic. [...]

[...] The trouble is, you have to clear away so many misconceptions to get at some of the truths behind them. [...]

[...] I said that was a total misconception on her part, that I’d never had such ideas, nor wanted to do any such thing. [...]

[...] When conceptual thought develops far enough, then it is imagined that all energy originates from what seems to be a closed system; and this misconception then colors all deductions made concerning the nature of energy itself.

[...] Any misconceptions, contradictions, seeming dilemmas, are resolved, for now you are not going against your own nature but with it, and from Framework 2 you draw out the greatest natural potentials that are uniquely yours.

In this way, with the words spoken “Let thy will be done,” the self could free itself from its own misconceptions, and attract from Framework 2 benefits that it might otherwise not be knowledgeable enough to request. [...]

Many of your misconceptions about the nature of reality are directly related to the division you place between your sleeping and waking experience, your conscious and unconscious activity. [...]

[...] Part of the reason lies in the pervading popular misconceptions about psychic ability. [...]
