“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(A long, uncomfortable pause at 9:4l.) Ruburt could have said, “I bear no responsibility for Seth’s words, since they are not mine in the usual fashion.” On the other hand, while he did critically examine our material, he insisted in those terms “that he must be responsible for it,” in that he and everyone else must take normal responsibility in a fashion for “subconscious” actions or revelatory information. [...]

[...] That always stimulates his idea of responsibility. [...] (Pause.) It will serve to inspire others, but each person is responsible for his or her own life, and Ruburt does not have a private clientele, nor is he temperamentally suited to use his psychic abilities to track people down or to serve as a therapist. [...]

[...] Part of that blockage was also directly related to his ideas of work and responsibility. [...]

It is true that his beliefs are also responsible for the fact that he can experience such alterations to begin with. While his beliefs are partially responsible for his astonishing facility, once in various altered states he is in a kind of free-wheeling situation as far as physical reality is concerned. [...]

Now: I have spent some time emphasizing the fact that each of us forms our own environment, because I want you to realize that the responsibility for your life and your environment is your own.

[...] Before this book is done I hope to show you precisely how you create each minute of your experience so that you can begin to exert your true creative responsibility on a conscious level — or nearly so.

[...] I feel he’s irritated, but I tell myself I chose that condition with its resulting humiliations in the past and now I am choosing to be responsive; to be more alive; and those incidences will soon BE past. [...]

This is needed added evidence; that helps build up your confidence—when you begin to trust yourself and your body successfully enough, trust that the power to change is in the present, and organize your feeling and thoughts under a new banner—mine being: responsive.

All of you have but one responsibility, and that responsibility is to the self. [...] It is your responsibility, you see, to develop all your abilities. It is your responsibility to materialize within your own system your own potentials.

[...] I am not telling you that you should forget your responsibilities in physical life. [...]

[...] In the past they triggered certain responses, to some extent leading to his physical condition.

They crop up now, but his response is different. [...]

The individual, like Donald, has also given up the responsibility for his own choices, and feels that he or she cannot be held responsible for any destructive acts that might be committed.

[...] Donald has given up accepting responsibility for his actions. [...]

To do that, I have to drop those old feelings of responsibility as a primary focus (to get the ideas out quickly so they can help people, etc.) because those feelings strain the Seth-book framework particularly when I demand that in each book Seth answers all questions and so forth. [...]

[...] The strong ideas of responsibility are limiting too; they put you in a less creative framework, stifle creativity. [...]

While it is true that the body is the living materialization of idea, it is also true that these ideas form an active, responsive, alive body. [...]

The stuff of the body should not be considered as some metaphysical result, then, but as a living gestalt of responsive flesh. [...]

[...] It is believed that males are naturally promiscuous, aroused by sexual stimuli almost completely divorced from any complementary “deeper” response. The male, then, is thought to want sex whether or not he has any love response to the woman in question — or sometimes to desire her precisely because he does not love her. [...]

[...] This does not mean that men were alone responsible for wars. [...]

[...] When you discover that a certain chemical or scent will attract a certain male insect, for example, you take it for granted that that element is alone responsible for drawing the male to the female. [...]

[...] You are reacting to events that seem to happen to you, and always in response to a situation.

He was a study, a living example, of the effects of conflicting unexamined beliefs, a fierce and yet agonized personification of what can happen when an individual allows his conscious mind to deny its responsibilities — i.e., when an individual becomes afraid of his own consciousness.

[...] I am discussing it here because it so beautifully illustrates the nature and power of beliefs, and the conflicts that can arise when an individual does not accept responsibility for his own thoughts. [...]

(Jane also felt that the sessions could be responsible for more deaths, or hurting people. [...] At the same time she’d felt a responsibility toward helping her. [...]

[...] They are also a sign, therefore, of life’s vitality, and are in themselves often responsible for a return to health when they act as learning communications.

Your body will react biologically in response to your world-view. [...]

[...] So while the body is well equipped to heal itself, and to maintain its own equilibrium, it is also highly responsive to other issues that are of a different nature and beyond the realm of its own functions.

[...] In all cases a misinterpretation is being made on the part of the conscious mind, that then triggers bodily responses. [...]

It was also excellent that one such memory carried with it a direct emotional response. That kind of response means that there is communication between, say, the present and past areas of the psyche. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s feelings of panic can then be understood as originating in response to a highly complicated, intense early life, and in concrete situations. [...]

[...] Many of Ruburt’s current attitudes, for example, will at least make more sense to him as he sees that they originated in response to situations against which a child had no recourse. [...]

[...] Yet I tell you that in such a body you would finally feel like a prisoner, for your moods and reflections, your feelings and your thoughts, would find no responsive mirror in your flesh. [...]

[...] All of nature is responsive, pliant, changing, each part connected with each other part. [...]

These will be caused by your beliefs and your feelings, but they will not be necessarily negative at all, but a demonstration of the body’s responsiveness. [...]

[...] It was responsive to your own desires and needs, where you consciously were not.

[...] Your response to my suggestions regarding Ruburt has been excellent. [...]

[...] You must see how the problem acclimated responses leading to not moving, etc., on both your parts and continued Ruburt’s condition. [...]

(“Abstract” art done in this manner would be an attempt to appeal, to generate an emotional response—in other words action on our plane—on a subconscious level. This would enable the emotional response so generated to radiate its warmth through all levels of our being. [...]

[...] I am in no way responsible for these distortions.

[...] So can a seemingly physical chlorophyll be also a part of a seemingly immaterial emotion or feeling, but in a different form; and of course directed into this form or caused to take various forms as response to certain laws, as of course ice will not exist of itself in the middle of your summertime. [...]

He took it for granted that, ideally speaking, he should do such public work, that it was his responsibility, but also that it represented a natural expression of abilities that he was denying because of his fears. [...]

[...] She could be expected to have some difficulties when presented with the thought that she should speak to gatherings of perhaps a thousand people or more, and that this was indeed her responsibility, all other feelings to the contrary. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) He does not have the responsibility to see to it that as many people as possible view a session. [...]

[...] (Pause.) He would probably see more groups, as you both did at 458 together, were it not for the black or white thinking, but this would be in response to quite spontaneous urgings to do so. [...]

[...] His body is resilient, and it is responsive, or it would not be reacting so agreeably and definitely to your new suggestions and its activities. [...]

[...] Ruburt feels safe enough in your lovemaking activities, and that exuberance and response is excellent, so again, make sure that such events become a part of the normal expression of your lives.

[...] I want to stress that Ruburt’s body is responding remarkably well, and that it is not a matter of operating better in a restricted posture, but a much more significant response, in which the body is, quite simply, straightening itself out. [...]

[...] The lessons must be properly learned before such responsibility. [...]

The responsibility for creation must be clearly understood. [...]

[...] It is that you must be taught and trained to create responsibly.
