“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] At one point he tried to insist upon the dominance of the conscious mind, and became pedantic. [...]

The last session for him—that is, the last key session I gave—is also connected here, for in following it he lifted himself enough above negative attitudes so that he could attract such a meeting. [...]

[...] The realization of Nebene would automatically lead you to question, to bring to your conscious attention characteristics that otherwise you may not have recognized; blocks to your creativity, and yet strong drives toward the nature of truth, from which your creativity also springs.

[...] Consciously I had not wanted to have the session, since I thought our guests not well-enough prepared.)

[...] He constantly picks up and reacts to your moods, subconscious as well as conscious, interprets them, and translates them into physical realities, because of your psychic closeness and his strong telepathic abilities.

[...] So it is not entirely negative or destructive, but partially channeled in a constructive fashion.

Even the conscious mind contains much more information about the structure of events than you realize you possess. [...]

2. Here’s an example of how far I went myself to obtain a sense of ease about an imaginary situation upon which I’d often projected negative thoughts.

[...] Some will come to the surface, so to speak, and be used consciously. [...]

[...] It is much more natural for the male to try to vindicate the father than it is to destroy him, or envy him in negative terms.

Ruburt is making certain rather important inner adjustments, that are resulting, or will very shortly result, in a definite expansion of consciousness and ability. [...]

[...] It is difficult to explain some of this in words, but connections are being formed, actually in terms of psychic structures, so that a much larger amount of inner data will become available to Ruburt on a conscious level.

It is in the nature of an integration, an integrating reorganization in which insights and knowledge usually hidden in the main from conscious awareness, can now be effectively used and recognized. [...]

[...] We considered that Jane was reacting to suggestion here, but were rather surprised since Jane knows how to guard against negative suggestion as a rule.

Incidentally I do have access to your conscious and unconscious minds, but only when you permit it. Consciously neither of you are aware of the subtle permission or refusal of permission that you yourselves give. [...]

(Tired consciousness sometimes yields good results; so may a clogged-up consciousness. [...]

[...] You get a subconscious focus different in many ways from conscious concentration. [...]

[...] Worry is bad—it reinforces negative attitudes and is corrosive. [...]

You do not project as many negative ideas upon the evening hours, and the same applies to most people to varying degrees. [...]

[...] Cultures that were night-oriented (pause) appreciated the night in a different fashion, of course, and actually utilized their consciousnesses (pause) in ways that are almost nearly forgotten. [...]

[...] Consciously the whole affair annoyed you no end. [...]

[...] After the session I made a conscious effort to improve my attitude about the car. [...]

[...] Consciously you were not aware of the change. [...]

This still leaves you free from ordinary reactions with them, need not close you off from conversation, and yet gives you an immunity from their negative attitudes. [...]

Because of the Miss Cunningham dream and the “Idea Construction” experience, Rob suggested that I try some experiments in ESP and expansion of consciousness and do a book on the results — negative or positive. [...]

During all of this time, Rob and I were having our first experiences with mobility of consciousness. What else could consciousness do? [...]

[...] Now, in my ordinary state of consciousness, I can only appreciate it or even criticize it. [...]

[...] I’m convinced that this sort of exercise is most valuable in that it helped to shake our consciousness out of its usual focus in objective, ego-oriented reality.

[...] You know that a conscious determination such as Ruburt occasionally shows will get you nowhere. [...]

[...] Incense is good from two standpoints; of negative ions from smoke, and also because scent, smelling itself, has an electrical reality. [...]

(I told Jane about the three deleted sessions for January 1980 that I’d read this morning while doing a note for Dreams—how good they were, on the body consciousness and related subjects like healing, and what a shame it is that the material sits there unread and unpublished.

The impulse was always present, but earlier it was buried beneath the conglomeration of negative mental and physical habits. [...]

On the one hand, our work and yours is largely devoted to poking holes into the official one-line consciousness, and on the other you find yourself financially responsible to contribute to its policies.

[...] His condition was his individual reaction to general mass beliefs of a negative nature. [...]

[...] The voices, though he does not consciously recall their message, the voices spoke words of encouragement. [...]

In the dream he then goes into his own room, and this is the part of the dream that he has consciously forgotten, and covers it in his notes merely by saying “unclear here,” and a vague reference to an electric storm.

[...]

(I too had just become conscious of the baby below us. [...]

[...] [I’ve also noticed that she keeps such requests lying around on her desk for days before answering them in the negative. [...]

No conscious decisions were ever really clearly made, because Ruburt felt that ideally (underlined), if he were giving himself true freedom and being true to all his abilities, he would and should be performing in such a manner. [...]

Ruburt has been working with them on a much more conscious level. [...]

[...] The funeral parlor did indeed represent the death of old beliefs (as I’d speculated), but it also represented the negative arena that sometimes exists, it seems, in the world at large, as it impinges upon your own life and beliefs. [...]

Ruburt’s improving vision also carries a hint of that mysterious inner knowing—for on a conscious level he cannot know what nerves or muscles or blood vessels are activated, and yet the improvements show themselves with that same ease and freedom. [...]

Then I will speak briefly concerning Ruburt’s book of poetry, for this is an excellent example of how suggestion can be used to utilize energy for conscious purposes.

[...] You are both beginning, barely beginning, to integrate your personalities in such a way that creativity can be put to positive use, free of negative inhibiting factors, which are always indications of conflicting inner doubts and desires. [...]

[...] There are different kinds of organization present, however, and in any given section of the book, several levels of consciousness are appealed to at once.”

[...] And each time I achieved it I experienced once more that complete inner and outer, mental and physical, involvement in which time was often significantly negated. [...]

In my notes introducing Volume 1, I wrote about placing the basic “artistic ideas” embodied in the Seth material at our conscious, aesthetic, and practical service in daily life. [...]

What Jane has to offer results from the study of consciousness itself, as it’s expressed through her own experience and abilities. [...]

[...] I said that I understood his answer to my question all right, but yet that I felt there were still things there to be discussed; that in individual cases, for instance, the subconscious could go too far when there was no need to, and that in such cases it seemed to ignore the wishes and desires of the conscious personality involved. [...]

[...] He was afraid of wheelchair connotations, but he triumphed over that negative idea. [...]

[...] Ruburt leapt back to his body to safety and normal consciousness. [...]

He attempted to separate from himself all those elements he considers negative, and fight them at once, almost as if in doing so he removed or could remove evil from the universe. [...]

[...] Much that you know you have made a part of your life, but you still wish to use your knowledge for your own conscious purposes. [...] Consciously you do not want to accept them and this is one reason why you have had difficulty with the pendulum. [...] There must always be the acknowledgement that you do not consciously as yet realize the depths of yourself, the goals you have set and the challenges, and this material should be used to open up your inner horizons and to lead you in those directions toward which your inner self has already set you. [...]

[...] You must want what is best for your own development and the development of others rather than specifically determining what you think consciously is better for you and then trying to force or coerce fate to get this for you. [...] You are not always aware of what is best for you on a conscious level. [...]

[...] She said she was picking up negative and fearful emotions from me. [...]

[...] Now he rationalizes on a conscious level his reasons for remaining home. [...]
