“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I would suggest for awhile that he refrain from wearing black sweaters in general, except that I fear his wardrobe is already depleted. [...]

[...] A point here involving Ruburt’s hands and his mother’s sweaters: he knew that knitting was a therapeutic measure suggested in the past to exercise his mother’s hands. [...]

This would add to the depth and reliability, and also allow suggestions given to take hold. [...]

[...] In some such instances, proper suggestions will help. [...]

[...] I suggested she demand plenty of energy, as Seth said she could do in the last session. Also, Jane’s hip and foot had bothered her a good deal, and she told me that she had not been consistent yet in demanding the energy available to her, and in channeling it upon her books as suggested by Seth.

[...] This is only a temporary benefit however, unless and until the suggested recommendations are followed completely.

I suggest your break.

[...] My friend will feel much better for the evening, and if my suggestions are followed the improvement will be permanent.

[...] However, I suggest that you simply realize that your body is an important part of you that you have allowed to go begging—that its response can be perfectly adequate that you must release it from your own preconceptions—particularly from your idea of what an orgasm should be...that you allow yourself to feel freely.

[...] I simply suggest, therefore, that you become aware in the same manner—that you listen for what your body feels. [...]

In your particular case I would even suggest that you stay away from the normally accepted sexual areas for awhile, and enjoy instead of the content (?); i.e. when he kisses your hand, and you are aware of the sensation of lip against palm and vice versa—be aware of feeling also in your hand on his skin. [...]

I suggest, for example that you not make love in the bedroom, that you change your location whenever it is possible.

That is why I suggested the library. [...]

[...] I suggested that if she didn’t sleep well tonight she call me, and I’d help her get up. [...]

Through self-suggestion, these therapuetic dreams can be brought about with practice. The suggestion (being action) has its own electromagnetic effect and already begins to set certain healing processes into action, while sparking the formation of others.

Upon proper suggestion, the personality then will work out specific problems in the dream state, but if the solution is not clear to the [conscious] ego, this does not necessarily mean that the solution was not found. [...] The suggestions will be followed by the sleeping self in its own fashion. [...]

[...] … For this reason, the use of self-suggestion in bringing about constructive dreams is of great benefit.

Seth also mentioned that dreams could completely reverse moods of depression and that such mood-changing dreams could also be manufactured through the use of suggestion. [...]

(At my suggestion she’d called Mike Appel, who wants to record Seth and Sumari. Since the implications here might involve success, I said as we talked, perhaps that too had alerted the sinful self to become more protective, although her current state had begun hours before I suggested the call. He is going to send her some suggestions for possible ways to go re recording material.

(8:02.) I am trying to give you some overall ahead-of-time suggestions as to how to deal with the material as you get it, because your approach can be quite vital. [...]

[...] One small example: As usual, if it wasn’t for my own demands and suggestions, this session wouldn’t even exist—whereas to my way of thinking Jane should have demanded to have it on her own. [...]

[...] When I suggested she sit leaning more to her left, she didn’t understand what I meant. [...]

[...] He is not having success with the exercises I suggested because he is trying too hard. (Seth’s suggested motion exercises, instead of passive ones.

Its suggestions will give you a good framework within which to grow and develop, and a yardstick so that your progress is always kept before your mind’s eye.

[...] I suggested some titles for the book: “Sethenetics,” “Sethgestions,” etc. [...]

[...] I have nothing to say concerning the poetry this evening, and I suggest we end the session unless you have pressing questions. [...]

[...] Be in a drowsy state and suggest, Ruburt, suggest — suggest, Joseph. [...] Joseph, if you are uncomfortable, I suggest you move to your sturdy old rocker.

Following Seth’s suggestions, Rob began doing a few simple yoga exercises, and the night before the eighteenth session he used self-hypnosis to relax his muscles. [...]

[...] When I suggested that you dissociate, incidentally, I didn’t mean that you should break up into pieces. [...]

[...] This is why I suggested the exercises at this time.

[...] In one manner of speaking, then, the suggestions you give yourselves constantly operate overall as beliefs that are reflected in your experience.

[...] Many who make a practice of “denying” negative suggestions from others, asserting positive affirmations instead, actually do so because they are so fully convinced that the power of negative beliefs is stronger than that of beneficial ones.

[...] You give yourselves post-hypnotic suggestions all the time, particularly when you project present conditions into the future. [...]

Now I will give you a break, and then continue with some practical suggestions.

Your body can now perform better—that should be used as a morning and evening suggestion, and anything you can say will be of help in that regard. [...]

Now these are my week’s suggestions, and I want, beside what I have just given you, a ten-minute badminton session daily, or pounding of the pillow for a lesser time—but one or the other. [...]

[...] I will have other precise suggestions. [...]

[...] Continuing your relationship as it is now is highly important, and the basis necessary for my next suggestion as to Ruburt’s behavior.

Tell him immediately about my suggestion, for he has played around with the idea but not initiated it—the schedule is what I am speaking about here.

Generally speaking however, no physical object can be constructed, and no action can occur, without what you are pleased to call suggestion. [...] Behind every action and every construction there is indeed what you are pleased to call suggestion.

There is no more truth, and no more falsehood, in saying that my appearance in the doorway was caused by suggestion, than to say that this room and everything within it is caused by suggestion.

I would also suggest before the session ends that you ask Mark once more what he saw, for the record, as well as including the excellent representation of me in the record. I also suggest that you notice the change once again in Ruburt’s voice; and if I perhaps sound severe, it is only the result of the transition. [...]

[...] Seth, making the above statement, gave no suggestions as to what might transpire. [...]

[...] It appeared to work, and while I rather easily put myself into some kind of trance state I at the same time gave my beneficial suggestions, etc., aiming principally at relaxation, to reduce the back tension I could feel building up.

[...] I kept my eyes closed from the start, but midway in the session felt that I could not have opened them, at least very easily [re Jane’s suggestions when she is putting me under].

[...] While I had myself in this state, I tried to give myself good, positive suggestions. [...]

[...] And the suggestion which I have given you will, after some practice, allow you to awaken and speak the dream into your recorder almost automatically.

I now suggest a brief break.

[...] The material will indeed serve for several books for Ruburt, and I suggest that serious thought be given to the bedroom setup so that the recorder is easily accessible. [...]

You will learn to take a certain portion of purpose with you through suggestion, so that you can attempt to enlarge the dream space of which you are first aware. [...]

[...] I have in the past suggested he resume painting. [...]

[...] These suggestions, followed, will return him to his proper course. [...]

[...] They will each to some degree suggest their own forms which you can faithfully follow. [...]

[...] Because you are you, you will attract your own unique visions, and if you follow these suggestions each vision will indicate its form and medium, and the general pattern of these will then be seen to be following along certain lines.

[...] You can also give yourselves such suggestions before you sleep. [...]

[...] You sleep more deeply as a rule than Ruburt, hence you must be sure to give yourself the suggestion to awaken and remember. [...]

[...] You can also suggest dreams in which you are flying in an airplane, and tell yourself you will awaken to project. [...]

To replace it with a new construction, it is a good idea to suggest that the old construction has indeed vanished, and in its place a new more acceptable one is being built. [...]

(Once again Jane was so relaxed that I suggested she forget the session. [...]

In a manner of speaking, now, such dreams can operate as, say, posthypnotic suggestion, so that you begin to react in a new way, without perhaps knowing why.

[...] Your suggestion about elimination was a great help, for this automatically means that the body is exercised more in walking, and that bodily wastes are eliminated much more readily, hastening recovery. [...]

Ruburt’s response to the suggestion means that his attitudes are indeed changing for the better. [...]

[...] He is beginning to realize it, but that should be reinforced in the suggestions given. I do recommend both morning and evening suggestions with the pendulum.

[...] An alternate suggestion is for each of you to rise very early, well before the normal working day. [...] I am offering suggestions here, but overall I recommend that Ruburt maintain so many hours, and feel free after that to indulge in those impulses that he will now be more and more aware of.

Your motorcycle suggestions on their own are worth a barrel of gold, for the change in image it infers, and for other reasons. [...]

I believe I should once again suggest, Joseph, a daily short walk for you. Such suggestions may appear trivial, yet they are not, and will prove most beneficial. [...]

I now suggest your break.

[...] I would suggest now that he seriously begin to schedule this with his daily activities. [...]

I suggest a short break, and I will continue with our other matters.

[...] Well, in that class I suggested that we use the pyramid and I didn’t give them any suggestions as to what they might come up with, but just that they send their consciousness out. [...]

[...] I’m sorry to say that Florence will not be able to come to class next week, so I suggest that we take Sue, instead of Ron or Florence, and all work on Sue this week. [...]
