“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] We do not trust ourselves to spontaneously develop our own technique. [...]

Those refinements that you want of technique are within you now. [...]

[...] The sketches sketch themselves through you, so let the paintings paint themselves through you in the same fashion, and miracles of technique will follow automatically. No problem of technique will exist, in other words.

(Today Patty filled Jane in on her studies in operant conditioning; how, with a simple Yogalike technique, monitored by an electroencephalograph, she learned to “turn on” her alpha brainwaves. [...]

(The alpha technique is thought to have many medical potentials, although it isn’t really known how the state is produced. [...]

You have a clash of beliefs, some hangers-on, in other words, but those hangers-on are troublesome, for they are precisely those that prevent you from utilizing techniques with which you are quite familiar, that could vastly enrich your situation.

[...] I am mainly going to suggest the use of certain techniques with which you are quite familiar. [...]

Each day should include, separately, a half hour alone that includes relaxation techniques and psy-time. [...]

[...] Rob had never tried this particular method of building up color tones in portrait work, and it is this technique he used in the painting idea that “came to him” a few days after this session. [...] We are still accumulating material on art, art philosophy, and painting techniques.

[...] Yet in sessions, Seth has given Rob excellent advice and information on the techniques and philosophy of art. [...]

[...] The inspiration for this particular painting came to Rob suddenly a few days after the session in question, and he used the techniques Seth had given in its execution.

Seth did say, however, that Rob’s picture using the color-building technique is a portrait of the artist in question. [...]

[...] They know more than you do about the techniques upon which you all agree. While the society accepts these techniques, then you are to some extent dependent upon them, and you had better think twice before you let them go. [...]

[...] For instance, your sophisticated techniques allow you to say that conditions are right for a tornado, and you will have a tornado watch (as we had in our Elmira area not long ago), or your instruments will pick up faint earthquake tremors, and following fault lines you will then “predict” that an earthquake will appear in another area. [...]

[...] Largely, it seems that your techniques work a good deal of the time. [...]

(To me:) Your knowledge knows how to flow through the techniques you have learned, to use them and become part of them, so that a painting emerges with a spontaneous wisdom. [...]

To some extent each vision, each subject matter, will itself make minute alterations in technique if you allow it to. [...]

[...] Compare for a moment, if you can, your love of technique in a painting with the way you write. You have been searching for a larger-than-life technique—looking for the greater dimension in which beloved details rest—and only your own ideas of economy have hampered you. [...]

[...] Your friend Larry (Herschaft) was quite perceptive, and your Dialogue sketches and the rock (face) show on your part a growth qualitatively of artistic understanding, and technique used to the service of inner realities.

[...] I still use the visionary technique I came up with when these sessions started: I envision a large sponge with which I go over her entire body, every inch of it, and soak up all the stiffness and pain and immobility. [...]

[...] Medicinal science is also in a state of transition, and it is just as important — if not more so — that it examine its concepts as well as its techniques.

[...] I suggested the use of suggestion through the framework of hypnosis simply because such techniques can be like mental vitamin pills. [...]

[...] I am afraid we are quibbling over teaching techniques. [...]

([Gene]: “As a teacher, what advice would you give on pedagogical techniques?”)

[...] They learned techniques, but the techniques did not bring them magic, did not allow them to really hear and understand the voice of one leaf.

[...] I felt relieved, and will try the technique. [...]

[...] Just before the session I asked my pendulum a few questions — keeping in mind that I wasn’t so sure this technique should be used to explore other than physically oriented data. [...]

(I’ve painted a portrait of Van Elver, who is the fourteenth-century artist [Danish or Norwegian] from whom Seth receives information on painting techniques.^*)

There are techniques for using cameras,¹ and a camera left at home will do you little good abroad. [...] Certain techniques will help you pack your conscious mind for your journey as you would pack your camera. [...]

[...] Much of this book will be devoted to various techniques that will help you change your own reality for the better.

[...] While the technique does have its advantages, it also pits one portion of the self against the other. [...]
