“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I did briefly give him a message: attend to what is before you, for it is there for a reason. In each person’s life, and in your own, at each and every point of your existence, the solutions to your problems, or the means of achieving those solutions, are always as apparent, or rather as present, within your days as is any given problem itself. What I mean is quite simple: the solutions already exist in your lives. You may not have put them together yet, or organized them in the necessary ways. The solutions lie in Ruburt’s case in all of those areas with which you are normally concerned—the mail, the sessions, the psychic abilities. When you attend to what is there with the proper magical attitude of mind, then the altered organizations can take place.

Ruburt is dealing with quite profound material involving the self’s relationship with its own source—this material being worked out in your current situations. The solutions will automatically lead him not only to a solution in practical terms, but toward the areas of development that he has been seeking (emphatically) while being afraid of them at the same time. End of session and a fond good evening.

[...] If the solution is not clear to the ego, this does not mean that the solution has not been found, necessarily. There may even be instances where it is not only unnecessary but undesirable that the ego be familiar with such a solution.

When this solution fails the impeding action will then materialize as a physical illness, or as an undesirable psychological condition. [...]

The solution may or may not be given to the consciousness. [...]

[...] This alone showed him that his solution was wrong. The nature of his own individuality makes it impossible for him to accept such a solution. [...]

Now in some cases a physical illness is the best solution for various reasons having to do with reincarnational influences, and the inner lack of balance of the personality. [...]

We are trying to make him see the basic difficulty, and give him a solution that is acceptable. [...]

3. When your thoughts do touch upon your particular problem in that present moment, imagine the best possible solution to the dilemma. Do not wonder how or why or when the ideal solution will come, but see it in your mind’s eye as accomplished. [...]

[...] I still think Jane carries within her her own solutions. [...]

[...] Then, quieted, you will be able to consider other suitable steps that may more directly address your particular solution.

[...] If you are aware of a particular problem (challenge), therefore, you can be assured that its solution is as much there and with you as the problem is. (Intently:) The solution is simply the problem’s other side, upon which you may not be focusing. [...]

[...] Yet often your freewheeling, “silly,” seemingly unrealistic imagination will bring you quite practical solutions to your problems, for if the exercise is done properly you will be automatically releasing yourself from restrictions that you have taken for granted.

Even if a direct solution does not appear, rejuvenation will of itself begin to point you in the proper direction. [...]

[...] The solutions which he makes within his dream reality are often, however, not the same solutions that he accepts within physical reality.

[...] It was also one of many solutions to several problems. While it was not the most suitable solution, it was the closest man could come at that particular time in physical reality.

The dream solutions are held as the ideals, however. [...]

[...] Consider art as a natural phenomena constructed by the psyche, a trans-species of perception and consciousness that changes, enlarges and expands life’s experiences and casts them in a different light, offering new opportunities for creating action and new solutions to problems by inserting new, original data. [...]

For Seth to comment on our world is okay, but for me to somehow insist that his material offer solutions to all of men’s problems is not— instead it limits the sessions creative thrust. [...]

The solution therefore may not necessarily be accepted completely as the best solution by the ego. [...] The solution however must be made in relation to the total conditions. [...]

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. [...] It is actually more practical therefore to seek the solution in the dreaming state, or in periods of dissociation if you prefer. [...]

In the dream reality you have the opportunity to work out solutions to problems within a larger framework in a psychic environment, where there is no immediate necessity for physical construction.

[...] Spread out before you in great profusion, you will find not only any problems but their solutions.

[...] You can also go steps beyond this into the dream condition itself, requesting certain dreams, certain solutions, and therefore shortening the time, so to speak, that may be involved otherwise.

[...] Remind yourselves constantly that the most favorable solution to a problem is at least as probable as the most unfortunate “solution.” [...]

[...] In your terms, the race at any given “time” simultaneously works out problems in the dream state, and those solutions are then physically materialized. Because there is more freedom from time and space in the dream state, there is greater overall perspective; many solutions that may appear poor in the short range — as they are physically activated — will in the longer range be seen as highly creative.

[...] Still, the dreams that you have and recall, and the resulting solution of many problems, represent only the surface layer of dream activity. [...]

[...] By suggesting before sleep that solutions to problems be given you, you automatically begin to utilize your dream knowledge to a greater extent, and to open the doors to your own greater creativity.

[...] You have no responsibility to save the world or find the solutions to all problems—but to attend to your particular personal corner of the universe. [...]

If you are in such a situation, do remind yourself that it is far more natural and probable for any problem to be solved, and that every problem has a solution. Death is not a solution. [...]

(Heartily:) To concentrate upon probable solutions is something else again.

[...] It believes in triumph, in pleasant, unpredictable surprises, in unexpected solutions, joyful occurrences. [...]

[...] Therefore, remember Framework 2. Look for signs of its existence, for surprises, for unexpected solutions in any and all areas.

[...] You believed that together you could achieve what had not been achieved earlier—that you could somehow or other offer meaningful and real solutions to the world’s problems.

[...] If and when they worked out solutions to their problems, they did so quite unknowingly. [...]

Generally speaking, the best policy to pursue is to concentrate not upon the problem but upon its possible solutions, and this process can be a rather intense one. [...]

[...] Quite creative solutions of course happen at other levels, arising into your usual consciousness sometimes by very diverse routes. [...]

[...] The basic challenge not only is not faced, but is constantly denied the physical expression that, left alone, would bring about its natural solution.

[...] You will often become “allergic” to a drug simply because the body realizes that if the drug was accepted, all recourse to the solution of a particular problem would be cut off, or another more severe illness would result from the physical “cover-up” of the dilemma.

[...] There are crisis points here as with many physical illnesses, and left alone an individual may well work through to his own solution.

[...] Having problems in the physical world, he may attempt to solve them through working them out on a dream basis, trying various solutions.

[...] But he will have chosen his solution, and in the physical world an event will shortly occur which will be close to a duplicate to one of those dreams which he has created.

When he dreamed the dream, and chose this possibility as the solution to his problems, he had already subconsciously chosen which event he would construct within the physical field.

(Long pause at 9:23.) I have said this before: the best way to solve a problem is to concentrate upon various solutions vigorously—and then to turn your minds to other subjects, divert yourselves while allowing the creative power some freedom. [...]

[...] The necessary medical help you might need can be achieved at home, but in any case your best solution lies in that immediate direction and in that necessary move. [...]
