“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Oftentimes this is financially impossible, but the inclusion of such an individual in some kind of a group situation is an excellent procedure. Communication between several people, all of whom have contemplated suicide, can also set up an excellent supportive situation, particularly with some direction set by a therapist. [...]

[...] They are often triggered, finally, by a traumatic life situation — the death of a spouse or parent, a major disappointment, or any experience that is particularly shocking and disturbing to the particular person involved.

In such instances, an understanding of one’s beliefs, and a generation of newer, more biologically vital ones, will certainly serve to better the situation, and help relieve the condition.

[...] When someone did answer, I explained the situation. [...] (Later I wished I had.) But I hadn’t explained much of the situation when my caller said, “We’ll have someone up there right away.” [...]

[...] I couldn’t believe what was happening, and was already wondering what to do to get out of the situation. [...]

“But—” The situation he presented was so extreme that I was at a loss for words. [...]

[...] He came inside the porch and I began to explain the situation to him as briefly as I could. [...]

[...] Now some of this has to do with the situation that did exist between you and your husband, and to some extent with the situation as it now exists. [...]

[...] You overidealized the situation ahead of time. [...]

[...] The habit simply persisted, and you grasped upon it as the situation continued. [...]

[...] Then, however, when you moved a critical situation was set up, where you were thrown together. [...]

[...] These are to be expected, but all seem trivial now, given our present situation.

Even in situations that involve a so-called host-and-parasite relationship, there is a cooperative process. [...]

(3:27.) A city might be overrun by rats, for example — a fine situation for the rats if not the populace — but the entire picture would include unrest in the populace at large, a severe dissatisfaction with social conditions, feelings of dejection, and all of those conditions together would contribute to the problem. [...]

[...] I began wondering how to compromise about the flea situation this summer, now that the rugs in the house are all clean.

(At 8 PM tonight ABC TV News had begun a three-hour dissertation on the whole American-Iranian-hostage situation, narrated by Pierre Salinger. [...]

[...] In either case, you end up with the need for negotiators, who attempt to bring the two sides into at least some alignment, or to correct the vision and perception of each side until the situation of the other side is at least perceived with some clarity. [...]

Now under many situations people, again, behave in the same manner. [...]

The portions of the self kept in protective custody develop certain characteristics just to get by—modes of behavior that perhaps serve to take off some of the pressure, while ever seeking ways to escape the situation. [...]

[...] I couldn’t understand why she wasn’t calling upon her creative powers to her help out of the tragic situation she’s created for herself, and me. [...] I was constantly appalled and amazed that she’d let her seemingly hopeless condition and situation drag on day after day, until such a crisis point as we now faced was reached, where we now had little room to maneuver. [...]

[...] Seth had recently said the hospital experience had been a traumatic one for Jane—so why was she doing again the very things that could lead to a return to that situation? [...]

[...] Of late the situation has led to at least a momentary framework in which physical disabilities take a good bit of mental and physical time. [...]

[...] I know that sooner or later I’ll be doing this no matter what the outcome of our present situation is, whenever Dreams is finished, I suspect at this time. [...]

[...] We talked about other similar situations and things, and she was near tears at times — so there definitely is emotion there. [...]

Before we discuss the human situation more specifically in relationship to health and “dis-ease” — let us consider the so-called states of health and disease as they apply in planetary terms, and as they operate in all species. [...]

[...] Walking barefoot on a bed of fire would most likely cause most of you, my readers, to feel the most acute pain — while in some primitive societies, under certain conditions the same situation could result instead in feelings of ecstasy or joy.

[...] I also, however, look in rather often on your own situation, and send you my support.

[...] Ruburt is acting out your situation as a family and as a unit. [...] That (underlined) terrified him more than the present situation.

[...] You must either accept the situation wholeheartedly, or reject it.

[...] Now your physical situation is not entirely unbearable. [...]

[...] You are hypnotizing yourself quite effectively and so reinforcing the situation. [...] In those positive life situations you are certain of your initiative. [...]

[...] Realize that you are exerting your initiative to imagine such situations. Here there can be no comparison with your normal situation. [...]

If the cultural concepts include voodoo or witchcraft, then the therapeutic situation will be seen in that context, and a curse uncovered; which, using the power point of the present, the doctor will then reverse.

(Pause.) A modern Western physician — granted, with the greatest discomfiture — will inform his patient that he is about to die, impressing upon him that his situation is hopeless, and yet will react with scorn and loathing when he reads that a voodoo practitioner has put a curse upon some innocent victim.

[...] Therefore in this situation he would fight back but he could not hurt you. [...]

[...] Both of you actually decided that the situation had gone too far, and had telepathically communicated. [...]

[...] Ruburt has an unfortunate sense of unworthiness, without which the situation could not have developed.

There will be much to say concerning Ruburt’s part in the whole situation, and we will try to lead the way so that your characteristics and needs help each other. [...]

[...] The ego is aware of the physical situation only in its relationship to itself. It is not aware of the internal situation. [...] It is extremely important then that the ego correctly interprets the physical situation, for this is the information that it will give to the computer, so to speak.

[...] The individual first manipulates situations within the dream reality, and then transposes his characteristic method of handling them upon the physical reality.

In many cases he perceives in a dream a future physical event, and then within the dream situation acts out various possible solutions, until he hits upon the most agreeable one. [...]

This requires on the ego’s part an excellent ability to perceive correctly the elements of the physical situation, to express it in terms that the subconscious can understand, and to deliver the message properly. [...]

Those beliefs paint a dire picture, in which any given situation is bound to deteriorate. [...]

[...] They cause a physical situation in which the body is placed in a state of defensive aggression. [...]

[...] Comments such as these: “You look tired,” or: “What’s the matter, don’t you feel well?” and other such remarks often simply reinforce the individual’s earlier sense of dejection, until finally this same kind of give-and-take leads to a situation in which the individual and his fellows begin to intermix in a negative rather than a positive manner.

Many ideals, however, must remain by their nature somewhat generalized, a matter of inspiration, for example, that cannot perhaps so easily be put into words; or sometimes the ideal exists simply as a yearning for a better situation, though no immediate steps come to mind that offer any concerted plan for action.

[...] Many might shy away from any philosophical discussions concerning the nature of “the good,” but many would also understand and appreciate the meaning of the word “better,” when applied to any situation.

You may not achieve ideal solutions with the law, but it should allow practical specific actualization, at least in part, of an ideal situation. [...]

Do not think in terms of a generalized ideal situation, but in terms of better covers, better communication with Prentice in both friendly terms as per Ruburt’s calls to Tam, and in the definitive terms of clearly stating specific requests. [...]

I am not telling you to gush out a steady stream of positive suggestions, whether or not they bear any relation to the situation at hand.

I am saying that it is far better to look on the most hoped-for solution to any situation, and to voice that attitude rather than to expect the poorest outcome, or express the most dire of attitudes. [...]

Poor health, or simply unhappy situations, arise only when the individual meets too many detours, or encounters too many blocks to the expression of value fulfillment.

It goes without saying that a full-time job would better the financial situation, but this is not the sort of thing to which I am referring. Your situation could be bettered financially while you retain basically the same schedule you now enjoy, if—and a very large if—if changed expectations were creating the psychic climate in which supply would flow. [...]

[...] Your beliefs now concerning finances and the automobile are actually keeping you from bettering your financial situation. [...]

[...] If there are chemical imbalances they are often corrected quite automatically in the dream state, as you act out situations calling up the production of hormones, say, that would be summoned in a like waking situation. [...]

[...] This result stems from the psychic situation set up within any dream drama (pause), and in it the problems or challenges of your existence are worked out. [...]

[...] If medication of that sort improves the immediate situation, the inner problem of beliefs must still be worked out. [...]

[...] (Pause.) There will often be chemical imbalances in such a situation, unconsciously produced by the individual, sometimes in order to allow him to work out a series of hallucinatory events. [...]

Most of the declared instances of telepathy or clairvoyance that happen in schizophrenic situations are instead the individual’s attempts to prove to himself or herself that the idealized qualities of omnipotence or power are indeed within grasp—this, of course, to compensate for the basic feeling of powerlessness in more ordinary endeavors. In some situations, however, there are definite, quite valid instances of telepathy or clairvoyance, vivid out-of-body experiences, and other excursions beyond the officially accepted realm of reality.

[...] Many other psychological elements are involved in any human situation.

(Pause.) Communications between various scattered portions of the self often appear, again, in such situations as automatic writing, speaking, the hearing of voices, or through what the person believes to be telepathic messages from others.

In many situations, the main personifications are instead of a ritual nature, taking advantage of psychological patterns already present in the culture’s art or religion or science. [...]

(When Wanda called, however, we learned that her doctor wasn’t the kind of specialist Jane should see after all, so the situation was resolved seemingly without effort on our parts. [...] Perhaps the session made me feel even more discouraged—this has happened before—or the evident errors in living on our parts that seemingly have been responsible for the whole situation over the years, certainly seemed beyond the reach of any medical treatment. [...]

Other people will refuse such a situation, and accept one mar, or one mar after another—an organ after organ. [...]

[...] Only your feelings and disapproval and the lack of confidence generated causes the hopelessness about Ruburt’s situation that frequently assails you both. [...]

[...] That situation is being remedied now with the changes Ruburt has recently noted. [...]

The situation with the woman is as I have given it.

[...] There are of course other elements entering into any such situation. [...]

The inner self does not feel threatened, therefore, only the part of the personality that is momentarily unaware of the true situation. [...]

[...] I have looked in on the situation several times. [...]

Again, every effort should be made to insert humor into the living situation as much as possible.

[...] It is a good idea for such family members to join other groups of people who are in the same situation, so that they can express their own doubts and hesitations.

The rearousal of love might well activate Framework 2 to such an extent that the healing energies become unblocked, and send their threads of probable actions into the person’s living situation as well — that is, once the channels to Framework 2 are open, then new possibilities immediately open up in all of life’s living areas.
