“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Set up your life situation about a normal pattern, and because Ruburt has lost a clear idea of what this is you can help him here. Your financial situation is increasing beyond your early dreams, because of a change in belief—so begin acting as if the normal pattern exists. [...]

[...] Change in sleep patterns are beneficial also, because quite without knowing it you automatically tune your consciousness to the time of day, relating to it in a certain fashion, and the night work offers a releasing pattern, an alternating current almost.

The inner references of reality involve a different kind of experience entirely, with organizational patterns that mix and merge at every conceivable point. [...]

[...] Scientists do not know how many species exist on earth—only that they total in the billions.) If you read it sideways, so to speak, you would still end up with an orderly universe, but one in which the nature of identity would be read completely differently, stressing adjacent subjective communications of a conscious kind that form other kinds or patterns of subjectivity and psychological continuity. [...]

[...] There are psychological patterns, therefore, that completely escape your notice because they do not follow the conventions that you have established. [...]

Such thoughts are like, now (underline “like, now”), electrical patterns that form their own magnets. [...] The precise orientation of that conceptualizing, and the precise orientation of the thinking patterns, wait for certain physical triggers received from the parents and the environment after birth, but the processes of conceptualization and of thought are already established. [...]

Reincarnational patterns apply also. [...]

[...] Inside all physical organisms, therefore, there is a thrust for development and change, even as there is also a pattern of stability within which such alterations can take place.

Give us a moment … Historically, of course, you follow a one-line pattern of thought, so you see a picture in which fish left the oceans and became reptiles; from these mammals eventually appeared, and apes and men. [...]

6. Session 654, in Chapter 14 of Personal Reality, contains information on the changing cellular memory, genetic codes, and neuronal patterns. [...]

“The physical world that you recognize is made up of invisible patterns. These patterns are ‘plastic,’ in that while they exist, their final form is a matter of probabilities directed by consciousness. Your senses perceive these patterns in their own way. The patterns themselves can be ‘activated’ in innumerable fashions. [...]

Because I say that you actually create the typical camouflage patterns of your own physical universe yourselves, by use of the inner vitality of the universe in the same manner that you form a pattern with your breath on a glass pane, I do not necessarily mean that you are the creators of the universe. [...]

[...] The brain is a camouflage pattern. [...]

[...] But material awareness and bodily response to it would be impossible were it not for these internal webworks … I am saying that all exterior events, including your own bodies with their insides, all objects, all physical materializations, are the outside structures of inside ones that are composed of interior sound and invisible light, interwoven in electromagnetic patterns.

(Long pause at 8:53.) When it seems that left alone Ruburt’s condition will only worsen, you are following those old patterns of conditioned thought, projecting negative situations into the future, imagining the unfortunate outcome or outcomes, and acting as if you operated within a closed system. [...]

It is true that the Sinful Self carries with it a group of patterns or reactions; methods of dealing with problems, and so Ruburt’s beliefs along those lines have colored his reactions, his plans, his dealings with you through the years. [...]

[...] It is not simply a neutral dimension, therefore, but contains within itself an automatic predisposition toward the fulfillment of all patterns inherent within it. [...]

[...] It cannot accept knowledge that comes from “elsewhere,” for such information will not fit in reason’s categories, and confounds its cause-and-effect patterning. [...]

[...] As given in some old sessions, certain difficulties began when Ruburt tried to make his creativity fit the conventional work patterns. [...]

[...] There are, as Ruburt supposed, learned patterns superimposed upon his basic nature. [...]

[...] You might, in parentheses, put that this is connected with the waking-sleeping patterns prevalent on earth, to which you referred some time ago.

It was natural enough for a while that Ruburt be quite aware of bodily sensation when he tried to “give up all effort,” but he is beginning now to sense the body’s pattern of activity, its relaxation, its stretching periods, and so forth. [...]

[...] The worry over Seven, for example, was not strong enough to cause such a reaction if the habitual body pattern was being consciously recognized and encountered.

[...] The old patterns are breaking down.

There are vibrant redistributions of energy going on within Ruburt’s body, reorganizations in which energy patterns are realized. [...]

[...] In some cases your station of reality automatically transforms them to fit the patterns of your beliefs. [...]

[...] This was invisible because the pattern still made sense. [...]

[...] The habit patterns, the attitudes, connected with the unsafe universe persisted, even as Ruburt became aware of the concept. [...]

[...] They are dominant, but the other characteristics are latent and present, built into the pattern. The physical pattern of the present body, therefore, is a genetic memory of the self’s past physical forms, and of their strengths and weaknesses. [...]

At those basic levels direct knowing is involved, knowing itself in all of its infinite patterns, and that process alone involves unimaginable motion.

[...] Of course, instead it is the other way around: his thoughts are creative and exuberant—naturally—when he leaves himself alone, and the troublesome thoughts that seem so natural now are the results of acquired mental patterns as he began to distrust his own nature, as given many times.

[...] But what you have is a learned pattern of face-saving self-deception and nefarious (with amusement) techniques, taught by parents to children; so often you pretend to want one thing, and you may say that you “will it” to happen—perhaps because what you really want is unacceptable, or so you have been taught: it is demeaning, or evil, or whatever. [...]

[...] They are looking for a rational pattern large enough to contain and explain and focus their own misunderstood creativity.

(9:37.) Such momentary lapses follow personal and cultural patterns. [...]

[...] Those who consistently choose negative patterns program themselves in those areas, gradually alter the chemical balances within the body. [...]

[...] This is not a negative pattern, however. [...]

Beside this, when beginning such a venture, time must be allowed for the waking-sleep patterns to be adopted. The eating patterns also, and he will want to eat more. [...]

[...] The most important one is that Ruburt must make a conscious effort not only to alter his habits but to handle what he thinks of now as distractions by conscious effort, the changing of a pattern, rather than by unconscious limitations on the body. [...]

[...] The brain patterns automatically change, let them go. You do not need the electroencephalograph to let you know when you are in Alpha I. If you want, you may imagine a particular kind of pattern as being your waking consciousness, as in a graph with the very quick motions representing delta and then slowing out gently for the Alpha patterns, if you prefer.
