“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Yet the pattern of reaction was clear. [...]

Subconsciously however, the very regularity is reassuring to him, since a fairly permanent pattern exists despite the flux and flow of conscious inclination. [...]

[...] Now obviously the particular energy does not bunch up, but a pattern remains in the personality where energy is spent in resistance, and not in efficient action, and not in effective idea constructions.

[...] (Pause.) Even though many of the negative aspects of those themes may now be highly apparent—as with the Jews and the Christians, the Arabs or whatever—this is because actually those patterns are breaking up in your time. [...]

In all these cases the available projections are interpreted according to the set conceptions of those in whose dimension they appear, and the data can only be interpreted according to the particular camouflage patterns which are inherent for existence within a given dimension.

People may have some glimmerings of their own reincarnational existences, but they are patterned according to current beliefs—fleshed out by ideas from movies or history books. [...]

His mental patterns have undergone obvious, very important alterations. [...]

As a change of environment affects twins, Twin A becoming something different again through a given environment from Twin B in another environment, so twins born in different times also develop different portions of a basic personality pattern. [...]

[...] The conscious knowledge alone will trigger intuitional responses within the inner self so that you will receive helpful information through dreams, impulses, and ordinary thought patterns.

[...] Because your sense experience follows a time pattern that you can understand, then you take it for granted that a cell, for example, is the result of its past, and that its present condition arises from the past.⁴ The fetus grows into an adult, not because it is programmed from the past, but because it is to some extent precognitively aware of its probabilities, and from the “future” then imprints this information into the past structure.

[...] People who are not writers or artists, or poets or musicians, often suddenly find themselves almost transformed for a brief period of time — suddenly struck by a poem or a song or a snatch of music, or by a sketch — that seems to come from nowhere, that seems to emerge outside of the context of usual thought patterns, and that brings with it an understanding, a joy, a compassion, or an artistic bent that seemingly did not exist a moment earlier. [...]

[...] Remember the alternating pattern I told you of. [...]

(“Impulses have a life-serving, life-promoting, creative basis, and possess a spontaneous order—though as we will see, that order may not be immediately apparent since the orderly pattern is larger than our conscious span of events.” [...]

[...] But Jane and I have seen the pattern demonstrated again and again: the visitor walks in the door, starts talking, usually about himself or herself, and seldom stops until leaving x-number of hours later. [...]

[...] (Pause.) As thoughts set up traces and new patterns, new electrical pathways in the physical brain, it then becomes easier for the brain to entertain these habitual lines of thought.

[...] They will find certain patterns of development, particular perceptive mechanisms, that go with it more to their liking.

[...] There are different kinds of creativity, then, that must be learned, and a specialization in energy’s focus and feelings that emerges—elemental energy becoming conscious of itself and aware of issues that did not exist for it “earlier;” millions of molecules momentarily united with living consciousness, filled with primal energy, now learning love and forming highly sensitive psychic patterns; electrical charges that now form emotions instead of clouds; the innocent chaos of undifferentiated personality that exists behind the highly specified and truly sophisticated mechanism of one thought. [...]

There is a steady even flow in which conscious activity through the neurological structure brings about events, and a familiar pattern of reaction is established. [...]

[...] The fact is that you decided to use your minds in certain ways that you felt were not approved of in your society—and that pattern goes way back for both of you; when you, for example, decided to bow out of a career in commercial art.

[...] It could also discuss the same question from the view of the growth of the human body and the development, say, of cancer cells that break out of a conforming pattern and superimpose a ‘new’ one, their own, on the unit structure….
