“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

While that largely invisible—emotionally invisible—belief is carried, then anything the self does must be scrutinized, put to the test, while in the meantime beliefs that have sustained others are suspended.

The development of Ruburt’s abilities would, therefore, lead him away from comforting structures, while in the meantime he searched for others to sustain him. There is no reason for him to feel stupid or inferior because he chose a challenge for himself that few would take. He has put to the test much of what he has learned. The physical financial abundance, for example, automatically and easily was accepted despite beliefs in the past to the contrary—and even in spite of your own negative beliefs in that regard.

(Long pause.) The entire idea of the magical approach is of itself sustaining. [...]

[...] It is the fiber behind all organizations and relationships, and it is based upon the innate, natural knowledge possessed by each new creature—the knowledge that it springs from a sustaining source, that its birth is cushioned by all the resources of nature, and that nature itself is sustained by the greater source that gave it birth.

[...] Faith in a creative, fulfilling, desired end, sustained faith, literally draws from Framework 2 all of the necessary ingredients, all of the elements however staggering in number, arranges all the details, and then inserts into Framework 1 the impulses, dreams, chance meetings, motivations, or whatever is necessary so that the desired end then falls into place as a completed pattern.

[...] The idea was that my belief in an extraordinary or supernatural force, working through nature, sustained me as a child. [...]

[...] One impulse may be in response to one need, one to another—but all in all, taken together, they will sustain and guide you to your most fulfilling situation if they are allowed to, and if they are trusted.

[...] The overly conscientious self is not creative, particularly—meaning innovative, but it does have great sustaining qualities and power.

Such an optimist will of course not be blind, and he will see that there are indeed many blemishes in the world; but his overall faith not only sustains him, but because of his own state of mind his creativity blossoms to whatever degree he has it. [...]

[...] In two cases he was using his own energy to sustain and direct the group, and to transport them, so to speak. He had some help from others in the group, but not enough for such sustained effort.

[...] (Pause.) You will use more energy in helping to sustain Ruburt, but you will because of his new affirmation have more available. [...]

[...] One point: Ruburt’s whole personality did indeed protect itself, for unless it were integrated and fully committed it would not have the energy to sustain the activities with which it will now be involved.

[...] And in a matter of speaking, again, man becomes the earth thinking, and thinking his own thoughts, man in his way specializes in the conscious work of the world—a work that is dependent upon the indispensable “unconscious” work of the rest of nature, a nature that sustains him (all very intently). And when he thinks, man thinks for the microbes, for the atoms and the molecules, for the smallest particles within his being, for the insects and for the rocks, for the creatures of the sky and the air and the oceans.

More or less, your nature sustains you. The nature of the earth sustains its creatures, and overall, while there may be floods or earthquakes, you can rely upon the sustenance of the earth.

I do feel that part of that enrichment involves a worldwide (and possibly universal) healing action, contributed to by each living form—that here on earth, at least, this vital force of our own creation sustains us in an unending grand synthesis of regeneration. [...]

Now return to the room, open up your eyes, and feel it filled with the energy that is your own from the source that existed before the self that you now give a name, but the energy that is yours by right and the energy that sustains you. [...]

[...] He can expect an overall successful class arrangement, however, over a sustained period, successful in all main aspects. [...]

[...] Your point was a good one—the young man walked a good way—the energy was there to sustain him even over his delusions. [...]

Always remember the vitality that sustains them, and that supports them. [...]

[...] Each of you may put the following in your own terms, but often it may seem as if your conscience tells you that you have “fallen out of grace,” and that some inner, mysterious, joyous sense of support no longer sustains you. [...]

[...] Let it sustain you, let it carry you again safely back to the hallucination of the physical room and the projection that you now accept. [...]

[...] It is there all the time whether or not you realize it and it sustains you whether or not you realize it. [...]

(Another one-minute pause.) Give us a moment … The “unknown” reality sustains you and the web of life as you understand it. [...]

[...] Yet such experiments represent a strong line of probability only in its “infancy,” in which man could sustain himself without draining the earth, live without killing animals, and literally form a new kind of physical structure connected to the earth, while not depleting its substance.

[...] The energy that is not being expended within the physical system is used to sustain these mental actions.

The chemical excesses built up in the waking state are automatically changed as they are drained off, into electrical energy, which also helps to form and sustain dream images. [...]

[...] The official line of consciousness is really the “worrier,” because it recognizes that it can only go so far, and usually it is not educated enough to realize it is itself sustained and supported — and now I bid you a fond good afternoon, and I do indeed adjust those coordinates that do quicken Ruburt’s healing processes.
