“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In the past this was done completely at an unconscious level, with no conscious knowledge. [...]

[...] Your attitude however was very negative. [...]

[...] Before that he felt that your negative feelings were largely directed against your parents. [...]

[...] I’d been concerned about my stewing over insurance, for I didn’t want to draw negative probabilities to us. [...]

[...] We shut out the early deaths from our conscious awareness as we move through probabilities. [...]

(I’m sure I said more at the time, but they don’t seem to return easily to conscious recall as I finish this session late in the evening. [...]

Usually the dream state is considered from a negative standpoint, and compared unfavorably with waking reality. [...]

We shall however consider those aspects of consciousness which are present within the dream environment, and absent in the physical environment. [...]

In our final discussions we will, in a practical manner, discuss the ways in which conscious goals can be achieved with the help of the sleeping personality. [...]

I was curious as to how often such a “negative psychology” operated—when, simply because of his or her own hang-ups, an individual [or more than one person] is attracted to a site where strongly negative events had taken place. [...]

(9:19.) Remember that cells have consciousness, so while I say these leanings are biologically entwined, they are also mental properties. [...]

[...] You have not reacted to any negative influences in that regard, but in a fashion through your creativity helped reconcile what were conflicting elements.

[...] We think that the events surrounding our purchase of the hill house furnish many clues to the spontaneous and creative workings of individual consciousnesses in our chosen physical reality.

Other portions of yourself, therefore, of which you are not consciously aware, do inhabit what you could call a supersystem of reality in which consciousness learns to handle and perceive much stronger concentrations of energy, and to construct “forms” of a different nature indeed.

[...] If you have, for example, a highly vivid desire to be somewhere else, then without realizing it consciously a pseudophysical form, identical with your own, may appear in that very spot. [...]

[...] On the other hand, if the desire were still more intense, the energy core would be greater, and a portion of your own flow of consciousness would be imparted to the form, so that for a moment you in your room might suddenly smell the salt air, or in some other way perceive the environment in which this pseudoimage stands.

[...] (Pause.) The image then follows its own laws of reality, and to some extent, and to a lesser degree than you, has a consciousness. [...]

Too great a conscious focus upon these purposes gives a negative reaction of doubt and anxiety. I am not saying that you should not be at all consciously concerned with your purposes. [...]

[...] Your lack of success lately with psychological time has been to a large measure caused by too great a conscious concentration upon the task. [...]

[...] The inner senses, when the physical body is relaxed, will carry you through the imaginary boundaries, but a conscious focus upon the boundaries to be passed through will tend to reinforce them. [...]

[...] You do not know precisely in a conscious manner how to achieve this state when you are working. [...]

Some sense impressions fall beneath the threshold of consciousness, these impressions coming from the outside environment. [...] If such inner data is to become at all conscious, it must be translated into terms that the ego can recognize. [...]

The training involved on Ruburt’s part does result in a utilization of abilities, and for his conscious use. [...]

[...] These cannot be willed however, on a conscious level.

Consciously Ruburt can learn to note various circumstances that seem to facilitate or inhibit his abilities, and our communications, but the abilities themselves develop in accordance with unconscious principles. [...]

[...] I said our craving for such “entertainment” must reflect our basic social beliefs beneath our veneer of respectability — the conscious, negative fears of the unknown, meaning that we’ve created such a division in ourselves by shutting out our conscious awareness of our own true selves. [...]

Now earlier he would have been so terrified that the image would not have become conscious. [...]

[...] Many individuals however, relying upon the physical therapy alone, set up negative associations. [...]

[...] He did pick up negative suggestions regarding retracing. [...]

A consideration of his own feelings and attitudes in class will help him see what he does right then, and what negative thoughts and emotions are present at many other occasions. [...]

Now again, that kind of reasoning belongs to the official line of consciousness. [...] There are millions of cases in which the body has healed itself, and an individual has passed into a disease and out of it without conscious awareness of the situation. [...]

Now: Ruburt should remind himself that he has good blood—thus negating his mother’s statement that his father had poor blood—

Those dreams reactivate Ruburt’s conscious memory of walking normally, and also serve to reawaken nerves and muscles that are connected with normal walking. [...]

[...] Do not project the problem as it exists, accelerated by future negative developments, for you only add to the difficulties.

[...] Man will be so shoved together that the impact will literally explode into a new level of consciousness, a new development in those terms.

The change will amount to a new kind of consciousness, certainly in quality.

There have been changes through your ages that have given birth to enlarged or expanded consciousness. [...]

[...] To a large extent, suggestions are tied into conscious thought processes, following the dictates of reason. [...]

[...] Such suggestions can be beneficial and supportive, or negative and detrimental. [...]

[...] Those particular aspirations will lead you, and are leading you, to the realization that life itself is an art, composed of the same ingredients of inner inspiration, spontaneity and conscious organization and discrimination.

When you consistently concentrate upon negative aspects you seek them out from your experience and all the available stimuli, until reality certainly does seem to justify your attitudes. [...]

[...] Those mentioned tonight on Ruburt’s part were “negative” ones precisely because they were so strongly inhibited. [...]

[...] This is the kind of thing I have been speaking of—the avoidance of a direct confrontation with those (in quotes) “negative emotions” blocks out the one emotional (in quotes) “solution”: an emotional statement on your part that counters it—a meeting of emotions.

I want to get around your basic fears that emotional freedom is automatically the feeling of negative emotions, though you may initially begin there. [...]

[...] The more true to life the montella is the less apt you are to realize its symbolic qualities on a conscious level.

[...] You are always forming such constructions, and the methods by which this is accomplished are the same regardless of the nature of the consciousness which is to be perceived in physical terms. In all cases, if the ego consciousness is to be reached, some sense imagery is necessary.

[...] However there are certain conditions necessary before precognitions can arise to conscious levels, and there are definite conditions that must exist before what you call apparitions can be perceived.

[...] The perceiver constructs the pseudomaterial apparition as he constructs the physical image of his contemporaries, but in, or rather and in line with telepathic data that is received by or from the consciousness whose material image is being constructed.

[...] These classifications apply regardless of the basic nature of the consciousness that is to be materially formed. [...]

[...] In Ruburt’s case however success in work does mitigate against the negative beliefs. [...] Hardly any of what you both have learned, was conscious then, however. [...]

[...] They have lasted because their nature was not understood, and Ruburt habitually kept them in consciousness.

In that stage then, when he tackles a room for example, the fear that he will not be able to work, or want to, becomes conscious, with guilty feelings. [...]

Such issues must be dealt with consciously now, and state your willingness to help. [...]

[...] This means that your positive and healthy attitudes are physically manifest, as well as your unhealthy or negative attitudes. It is almost impossible for you to weed out all negative attitudes, for by these you understand the difference between positive and negative. [...]

[...] Your projection attempts, Joseph, have been most successful, though you are not consciously aware of them as yet. [...] You will shortly, I believe, allow yourself more freedom as far as conscious levitation within a projection.

[...] He is not upset basically (Jane got up from her rocker and walked about the room as she spoke, looking for her cigarettes) believe it or not, with the delay in his book publication, though this is the conscious rationalization.

I never want any of my remarks to be construed in such a fashion that it seems I am in any way negating the fullness, validity, and magnificence of physical existence. [...] I hope to show how the nature of dreams has helped shape man’s consciousness. I hope to show that consciousness forms the environment, and not the other way around (with many gestures).

[...] Generally speaking, the states of waking and sleeping are the only levels of consciousness with which you have been primarily concerned. It seems to you that this is the result of your evolutionary progress—but there have been civilizations upon the earth that specialized in the use of many focuses of consciousness, as for example you are focused upon the use of tools.

[...] I have already given the title, and at another level of consciousness Jane Roberts was able (12 days ago, for example) to perceive some glimpses of some of the subject matter that will be included here. [...]

(Pause.) Now: While you believe that consciousness somehow emerges from dead matter, you will never understand yourselves, and you will always be looking for the point at which life took on form. [...]

Because you made the decision to leave does not mean that automatically the negative thought patterns are relieved. [...] They were negative and to be hidden.

[...] I would say the realization became conscious late last year; I kept the job until we finished checking the script for Seth Speaks, by the end of January.

[...] They are a strong part of your problem, and there is a negative feedback that operates in that regard.

[...] Before you left for your trip I told you of some of Ruburt’s negative projections, and advised you both to discuss them. [...]

Such expansion of consciousness itself automatically results in the solution of such problems. I am not speaking here of a one-sided expansion, in which so-called occult tendencies are emphasized at all, but in an overall reeducation of consciousness, in which the operational self becomes aware of areas that have been considered taboo.

[...] The old line of consciousness is breaking down, and at every level the “ignorant,” the wise, the lettered, the unlettered, the religious or the irreligious; it makes little difference. In whatever way, racial consciousness is in a time of change. [...]

[...] It will be a source book for all of those who try to understand the self as it operates consciously and unconsciously. [...]

[...] We are introducing a different kind of consciousness as normal, as natural, and as good, broadening the frontiers of psychology, religion and science as well—again, to whatever degree.
