“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Indeed, your own moments of so-called inspiration in your work, will be seen to follow such periods of immersion, from which the subconscious then acquires its inspiration. Any purposes you would like to achieve should be mentioned to the subconscious before such periods of sensuous immersion or contemplation, and then forgotten on a conscious level.

[...] All so-called closed systems are caused by a limiting of perception, a narrowing down of distinction, a subconscious agreement that the props are real, and that boundaries exist. [...]

While it does appear spontaneously, a good deal of conditioning and expectation is behind it, and your subconscious mind brings it forth. [...]

[...] A reminder to the subconscious as to your purposes, whether they are psychic or practical, will be most helpful before immersion such as a walk, and so forth.

[...] Later you learned to distinguish between the ego and the subconscious. All of this simply means that you became aware of larger portions of the whole personality, and were consciously able to use these abilities, conscious and subconscious being, of course, artificial terms.

This self can give directions to both the ego and the subconscious and can instruct the subconscious to speed up healing processes. [...]

[...] This is the I that you have been using in the pendulum sessions, that questions both the ego and subconscious. [...]

[...] Existence within the physical field depends upon a focus of psychic energy, in the subconscious construction of that physical organism without which material survival is not possible.

[...] His subconscious, on an uppermost personal level, is concerned with infantile fears of course.

Yet on a deeper level he still retains hold upon other existences, so much so that he even yearns subconsciously for those past realities, which mean safety, since their problems have already been solved. [...]

[...] Since man is aware subconsciously of a heritage for which he ever seeks, and yet which for many reasons he cannot grasp while in the physical state, he must know and not know, and there is a strain here that no fish or bird or worm experiences. [...]

The entire session ran three hours, and most of it was devoted to the ego and the subconscious and to their relationship to health and illness. [...] We’d been in the habit of blaming difficulties on the subconscious.

These fears do not belong to what you think of as the subconscious. Then these materializations of panic and pain play about the physical body, projected by the ego, and steal the powers of the subconscious mind from their natural constructive tasks.… In other words, the ego becomes a tool to disrupt rather than to create.

Your own subconscious is the fountain of your individuality and personality; from it springs your talent. [...] The freely working subconscious — or the inner you — is completely capable of taking care of all practical considerations and will use the ego as a tool to do so.

[...] But the subconscious knows its own meat and its own sauce and the best means for its nourishment.

[...] He senses this subconscious need of hers however to hold him, and resents it vigorously. She attempts to dominate him in her own way, and on a subconscious basis, and it is indeed by appealing to him through helplessness. [...]

[...] She does not want to dominate him through feminine wiles, and yet subconsciously she feels driven to do so.

She does not realize basically, subconsciously, her importance to you. [...]

You are both acquiring a facility in communication between the ego and the subconscious, which is enabling you to increase the efficiency of your overall behavior.

[...] In many cases it is the I who dreams, bringing valuable information to the personal subconscious, information that may be then used for the benefit of the outer ego itself.

[...] It is much more familiar with the subconscious and with the dream universe, and with the inner self, than it is with the outside ego, however.

[...] The subconscious could be thought of as a nucleus, surrounded by the inner and outer egos. [...]

I have endeavored to study rather thoroughly the condition of the other male present in the room, yourself excluded, Joseph, because we find here an almost classic example of the manner in which the individual subconsciously creates physical matter, and the manner in which the psychological and psychic problems of the individual conspire so that the organic perfection becomes disturbed.

You create, as you know, physical matter on a subconscious basis, without knowing egotistically that you do so. [...]

[...] Neither, therefore, is it aware of those distortions that cause it to construct faults within physical matter, for in all cases the physical matter of the human body will be subconsciously created in line with inner conditions.

[...] Since each individual creates subconsciously the physical matter of his own image, then it follows that the condition of this image is his own responsibility.

The subconscious—to finish what I began—the subconscious cushions the outer ego really against the shock of true reality. [...]

It is thinned out further by my own subconscious, because my inner and outer egos are not yet a complete unity, although I am, or my outer ego is, in direct contact with my inner ego on some occasions. Nevertheless my subconscious is not yet dispensed with but is still retained somewhat in the order of your archaic appendix.

[...] The subconscious is sometimes aware of this, and the outer ego is aware of very little. [...]

[...] As a rule, even though the whole self is capable of organizing the data from all of the inner senses, the subconscious can rarely receive such communications full blast; and the outer ego, concerned as it is with camouflage pattern, and really born to deal with camouflage pattern, simply could not stand the shock of realization that a complete set of inner senses would bring.

(Jane feels the voice John heard within can have one of three explanations: It was Seth; it was a subconscious creation on John’s part; it was a telepathic communication, on a subconscious level, from Jane to John.)

[...] This should prove highly interesting, and if such experiments are carried on consistently over a period of years, then the results could lead to excellent evidence for the various layers of the subconscious and the inner self, of which I have spoken for so long.

And added to this, the training will give you valuable information regarding the nature of dreams in general, the stages of the subconscious, and the inner life of the personality when it is dissociated from its physical environment to some considerable extent.

[...] The ego regards anything but itself as an alien, even the portions of the individual’s own subconscious. [...]

Now I am giving you, presently, the picture as seen by your subconscious. [...]

The episode also has some connections, again with your father, in that you feel sometimes, and subconsciously, that you will be old and trembly and still at the job. [...]

[...] Take your subconscious attitudes seriously. [...]

[...] He is reaching beyond his own personal subconscious, for while the personal subconscious does have definite knowledge unknown to the conscious mind, it also has definite limits.

Information received must however be sifted through the subconscious. We are managing now in such a way that our material survives without undue coloration from the subconscious. [...]

[...] These results are then sent to certain portions of the subconscious, where through this information knowledgeis gained as to whether or not the ego and the subconscious made the best decision under the circumstances.

[...] It is difficult for Ruburt to maintain steadily that particular reception of frequency, and within certain limits there is sometimes a slipping in and out, so that now and then Ruburt’s personal subconscious is allowed to intrude. [...]

The subconscious—personal subconscious layer – became blocked with debris that seeped down from the conscious layer. The personal subconscious then acted like a lid, blocking off the healing energies that came from below. Now your book uses the term subconscious to cover the whole inner self. [...]

[...] They seeped down into the personal subconscious layer, causing blockages here that prevented even deeper areas of the self (pause) from giving necessary help.

[...] It should be apparent that my communications come through Ruburt’s subconscious. But as a fish swims through water, but the fish is not the water, I am not Ruburt’s subconscious.

After break Seth said, “Again, I am not Ruburt’s subconscious, though I speak through it. [...] This is done partially by me and partially by the combined subconscious efforts of you and Ruburt. [...]

[...] He thought that the fluency of the material suggested a subconscious origin, but emphasized that at this stage it was impossible to tell. [...]

When Seth paused, Rob asked, “What do you have to say about Dr. Stevenson’s idea that this may all be Jane’s subconscious?”

You see however he felt that he was learning maturity by ignoring the subconscious. [...] He automatically rejected the sweaters as giving warmth on a subconscious basis.

[...] What was ego today may belong to the subconscious tomorrow. [...]

The situations had changed but the ego framework had grown rigid, rigid enough so that it could in a large degree dominate certain normally subconscious processes, bringing forth the physical symptoms. [...]

[...] The fault will not always lie with the conscious or subconscious, however, but in other layers.

The subconscious is a self-conscious portion of the whole self. It is called subconscious because the ego as a rule is not conscious of it.

The subconscious, so-called, is aware to some extent of the ego, regarding it as an extension of itself, over which it does not have as much control as it would like. This is precisely however the way the ego views the subconscious, as a rule. [...]

[...] First of all, some of these states of activity take place so far beneath the ego or the subconscious that you simply do not know of them.

Some of these states take place above the ego or the subconscious, although I am using the terms above or below simply for your convenience. [...]

(Seth told Bill he subconsciously blamed his father for his mother’s condition, after Bill remarked that whenever he and his father were together for a few minutes they would end up arguing. [...] Later when his mother fell ill, Bill made the subconscious connection with her illness and this earlier incident, and blamed his father for his mother’s illness.

(Seth told Bill that a summer Sunday in 1946 is very important to him subconsciously. [...]

(Right after the session began, Seth showed how Jane’s personal subconscious memories had, during the sitting with the Gallaghers, on August 20, distorted the material we received. [...]

(Bill’s mother exerted a “pull” on his father which the father subconsciously resented. [...]

The points Ruburt brought up immediately previous to my speaking involve connections made because the subconscious was responding, and trying to give you further information. [...]

[...] His subconscious, however, knowing its own beliefs which were given it by the conscious self, after all, feels highly threatened, for it knows not more about Ruburt than he does, but more than Ruburt will admit he knows. [...]

[...] The subconscious was not too pleased with them.

[...] The subconscious should be reminded of the help that is available from the source self, for its fears began before it had that information, and the fears themselves caused blocks that prevented assimilation of the knowledge later.

[...] Once the pendulum shows you that the subconscious does understand, however, it is all right to check now and then,but those statements can act as negative suggestions otherwise. [...]

[...] I am simply asking that you not give the subconscious too many issues to deal with at once, and the last part of each session should always reinforce any positive steps you have made and end with a few, very brief, clear positive suggestions.

You asked the question about the subconscious this evening, before the session, and Ruburt immediately interpreted it in the light of the following: the weight of the responsibility it carried for all those psychologists, and all of their patients, and his responsibility to obtain, in capitals, the answer, not only for himself but for all those other people. [...]

The question about the subconscious’s view of the body will be answered along with the other one, and at our next session. [...]

[...] Both of you found it quite necessary to take a strong conscious, critical look at the material from the beginning, for your trainings told you, in the terms that you understood them, that the “subconscious” could be very misleading, though creative, and that therefore you must critically examine any intuitive productions that profess themselves to stand as truths rather than as creative fictions in your world.

[...] The subconscious is of course a hypothetical terms that stands for the portions of the self at which normal consciousness and the source self meet. [...]

(10:05.) In those terms, the so-called subconscious has your own concept of the body. [...]

[...] It is difficult to verbalize, but your question “Why doesn’t the subconscious know when to stop, if its defenses actually become too dangerous?” is asked in too limited a framework, though I understand your concern and what you mean. [...]

First of all, the conscious desires must be in league with, and unopposed by, subconscious expectations. Two, sufficient emotional impetus must be discharged, and this will be on or from subconscious levels. And three, communication between the conscious and subconscious, or the inner and so-called outer parts of the whole self, must be excellent.

It is however usually operating at subconscious levels, and without either knowledge or intent as far as the conscious mind is concerned. To be able to bring these natural but subconscious forces at all under any domination by the conscious mind is a terrific task.

Such domination will never be habitual, but conscious awareness of subconscious manipulation of matter may become habitual, and may often of its own accord follow the desires of the conscious mind, if certain conditions are met.

[...] In other words, to consciously focus his subconscious psychic abilities to perform toward a definite, material end.
