“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your subjective life has been somewhat permeated by thoughts of want, and literally poverty, until you have indeed exaggerated your own situation. The exaggerated situation could come to pass however if you persist in projecting those images outward.

Now your financial situation will not change no matter how you push yourself, unless you apply such simple exercises. [...]

Part of your attitude is a result of your family situation and of identification with the past.

Your combined efforts can change your situation.

[...] 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. [...]

I have been telling you this all along, if you recall, that your financial situation was changing.

[...] You may feel compelled to see how it comes out, and find yourself unable to go to bed until the horrendous situation is resolved. [...] If someone watching a gory midnight special suddenly screams or shouts or leaps up from the chair, how comical this seems, because the action is appropriate not to the “real” situation, but geared instead to a pseudodrama. [...]

[...] But often you become so engrossed in your life situation that you do not realize the inappropriateness of your response.

[...] You are quite right, again, to say that “There are elements in this situation — or in any given situation — impossible for my intellect to know,” so the intellect can take that fact into consideration. [...]

[...] I dislike the whole situation intensely. [...]

(We hadn’t asked that Seth discuss the Prentice-Hall situation this evening — but when Seth came through with a rather ironic smile. [...]

[...] Often the existence of probabilities and their acceptance does provide a kind of exterior crisis situation that individually and en masse is a symbol of independence and inner crisis. The crisis is met in the exterior situation, and as the people deal with that situation they symbolically deal with their own inner crises. [...]

[...] Such situations bothered the individual far more than the threat of nuclear disaster, for they involved his contact with daily life: the products that he bought, the medicines that he took.

[...] When you have a headache or a simple stomach upset, or if you have a chronic, annoying but not serious condition, such as trouble with your sinuses, or if you have hay fever — in those situations, remind yourself that your body does indeed have the capacity to heal itself.” [...]

[...] [The entire plant is idle, since unit 1 had already been shut down for refueling.] By now the situation is much more serious, however: There’s a chance of a catastrophic “meltdown” of the uranium fuel rods in the damaged reactor’s core—the worst possible accident that can occur in such circumstances, short of an explosion, and a kind that proponents of nuclear power have long maintained “almost certainly cannot happen.” [...]

[...] This rather unusual situation came about because after lunch today she wrote excellent analyses of two dreams I’d had recently. [...]

[...] For she’s been carrying that hand with all but the index finger turned under more than ever; indeed, she cannot straighten the fingers, and I’ve worried about that situation. [...]

The situation with Ruburt is such that conditions like the hand are transitory, as with other conditions that bothered him and left. [...]

He is still gathering up his resources, and became quite panic-stricken at the situation in general. [...]

The thyroid medication will benefit, and I believe the food situation will slowly return to the period previously.

(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. [...]

The Sinful-Self concept causes you to expect the worst in any given situation. [...]

They automatically expect the best from any situation. [...]

The child at such a time for one thing is not in the situation to do conflict with belief systems—it is too young and dependent. [...]

[...] Here you have a rather intense situation. [...]

(9:00.) His Sinful Self therefore tried to restate its position in order to right the situation, but its reasoning, again, was that a sense of grace was dependent upon the prior admission of a sinful reality. [...]

[...] A unique situation. [...]

[...] Your situation is much more important to me than anything Prentice may do or not do.”)

[...] Ruburt’s forgotten dream was a clear psychological statement in which all of the elements in his personality momentarily joined not only for a discussion, so to speak, but blended their forces, exerted their energies, and set up a firm intent to clarify the entire situation, and to exert all of their energies in a successful healing venture. [...]

[...] Your lawyer wanted to get out of a bad situation in the front apartment, and the increased rent serves his purpose. [...]

[...] The man on the top floor always feels persecuted: for his own reason she seeks out situations where his feeling is justified.

—but each event is formed by those involved in it, for their own reasons, and it is foolish to feel resentful because also the situation serves ends of your own that you may not consciously recognize. [...]

Both of you had to acquiesce to some extent in the situation. [...]

[...] You know you chose the situation. [...]

This has its roots with the Lincoln—you follow me—and later when you did not offer to pick him up at nursery school, and told him in the same situation you would have too much pride to accept a ride.

[...] I said the situation must be a common one. [...]

[...] So how can one win in such a situation, when either way is rejected?

[...] Ruburt did fall prey, in your terms, (underlined twice), to a flu-like condition — but the additional fear added immeasurably, prolonging the situation.

[...] He would have made changes, and insisted you face the symbolic situation in concrete terms, as in entirely separate apartments, or different bedrooms, until the physical situation mirrored the symbolic ones.

The entire psychic situation then brought into your lives fantastic energy, and attempted to correlate diverse creative, personal and psychic goals. [...]

You (to me) felt that your physical situation in the years between was not that much better—and on top of it you had quit your job. [...]

You do not believe me now when I tell you that you have always exaggerated your situation and Ruburt’s as far as its negative aspects are concerned—but you have, and this has been part of the difficulty.

(12:05 AM.) Ruburt was correct in his deductions about his own situation. [...]

Yet I felt that they had patterned my life and behavior for some years, culminating in the physical situation. [...]

One line I’d forgotten put the situation rather clearly, though: I was afraid that Seth’s work and my own might have some fatal flaw to which I was blind, so that I suppose by trusting the inner self and individual inspiration, I might actually also be opening up that horrendous Pandora’s box. [...]

[...] As I read the notes I began to see some sense in the hospital situation. [...]

I guess I feel now that anything that one can do to better the situation in the world is bound to help, where before I wanted everything completed ahead of time in some fashion. [...]

[...] Others were not, for both of your reasons, because the situation served both of your purposes to some extent.

Because now you fear that the situation may become a way of life, you are finally both willing to take more direct action. [...]

[...] Finding release in one gives you release in the other, and both of you chose therefore a life situation and framework in which precisely those problems you have tired to ignore should serve as challenges and impetuses.

(“Well, “ I said, “I guess for the first time I don’t feel there’s still something about the situation that we don’t know….”)

It is perfectly reasonable to contact your lawyer, and tell him the situation without stressing negatives, and without allowing yourself to get too upset. The session itself should help content your mind about the situation. [...]

[...] I don’t want to change our present situation here in the hospital when we’re getting results, so I don’t really know what to do....”)
