“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Creation, creativity, is natural under all systems and all circumstances, but your system is a training system for emerging consciousness; for having a talent does not yet know how to use it, and must be trained.

Your system is a training ground only for those however who have chosen to go beyond into particular other systems. These systems are interrelated... other training systems are set up for those who embark on entirely different patterns. (Long pause.)

In other systems energy is more directly felt, more extensive. Consciousness has much more freedom in its utilization. The lessons must be properly learned before such responsibility. There are other training systems, each dealing with various aspects of such understanding and discipline. You cannot do any basic harm. When you act within your system however you act within others.

When you leave the physical system after reincarnations, you have learned the lessons, and you are literally no longer a member of the human race in those terms, for you elect to leave it. Only the conscious self dwells within it in any case, and it is other portions of your personality who simultaneously dwell within the other training systems. In other more advanced systems, thoughts and emotions are automatically and immediately translated into action, into camouflage, into whatever approximation of matter there exists. Therefore the lessons must be taught and learned well.

(“Number eleven: In Chapter Seventeen you said it would require more training on Jane’s part before she could deliver a Speaker manuscript, and that even then the work involved could take five years. What kind of training?”)

[...] The greatest Speakers have not needed the intensive training necessary for most. [...]

[...] These can take place in either the waking or dream state, and they serve to open up the reservoirs of knowledge and make past training available.

[...] Both of you are being trained by other Speakers who are themselves between lives, this occurring in your dream states. [...]

[...] Your training—for you are also involved, Joseph—your training has only begun. [...]

It is far easier to learn and to make contacts now, for this is training that will be invaluable. With the change in Ruburt’s whole attitude, I hope that I can make many of my points more clearly, and give you quite practical training. [...]

[...] The amount of knowledge and training necessary makes such a teaching communicator-career extremely demanding, but it is one of the courses available. [...] Once such a choice is made, training immediately begins, always under the leadership of a practical expert. [...]

[...] There is always the opportunity to teach if you have the inclination and the capabilities, but multidimensional teaching is far different than teaching as you know it now, and it demands rigorous training.

In a larger context, and with greater training, advanced healers deal with the spiritual maladies of vast numbers of personalities. [...]

[...] They are training for later work on the speakers’ manuscripts.

[...] The thought patterns beneath various languages are different, and he has been trained in the Western tradition. [...]

The Sumari dreams of Ruburt all involve training of the type I have mentioned. [...]

[...] It goes without saying that the hospitals and training centers are not physical in your terms. [...]

There are also training centers. [...]

[...] Some of my readers, not being perhaps aware of any psychic ability of their own, might think then that they are in for a long and protracted period of after-death training. [...]

After death you may find yourself in a training center. [...]

(9:53.) The true art of dreaming is a science long forgotten by your world.¹ Such an art, pursued, trains the mind in a new kind of consciousness — one that is equally at home in either existence, well-grounded and secure in each. Almost anyone can become a satisfied and productive amateur in this art-science; but its true fulfillment takes years of training, a strong sense of purpose, and a dedication — as does any true vocation.

Your scientists spend many long years in training. [...]

[...] For material on the classes held at after-death training centers, see in particular the 537th session in Chapter 9. While out of body during the sleep state, some people from our reality, Jane among them, assist those who have just died in adjusting to their various new environments. [...]

You will experience the vivid realization of your own dreams in this manner, and with some training you will record as much of the whole dream experience as any investigators manage to record when the training is done by a mechanical device, or another individual. And you will also be gaining, additionally, excellent discipline and training over your own states of consciousness, and this in itself you see will be an important yardstick of progress for you both.

[...] We shall also use them to give you training in the utilization of various stages of consciousness, that will result in time with excellent control over various aspects and stages of your own awareness.

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.

[...] In one of them I’m on a troop train [in World War II] traveling to Karachi, India, and in the other I’m asleep in a cold barrack. I wrote in the book that ‘I was conscious of every movement, sound, and odor on the train, yet conscious that I was in a barrack that was very chilly. I was also aware that both the train and the barrack were dreams, and that my body was in the chilly tent at Leesburg, Florida.’

“Then, later, as in one of the dreams I got off the train, then went back inside looking for myself, in the other dream I got up, dumped coal in the stove and spread my overcoat over the blankets on the bunk in the barrack — and woke up in the tent. [...] The men aboard the train in the dream were Air Corps men I knew in waking life, and they were sent there [within the month].”

[...] Without understanding or training, you would have to “lose” your own consciousness in order to perceive the “other-consciousness.”

[...] Such training still goes on. [...]

[...] The Egyptian religion was largely based upon the work of the Speakers, and great care was given to their training. [...]

[...] In order to do so, Ruburt must be trained somewhat more intensely. [...]

If we ever hope to “map” the dreamscape, we need a million trained dreamers: a million individuals trained to use dreams as vehicles and then, courageously, to leave them to explore the environment in which they find themselves. [...]

[...] We shall also use them to give you training in the utilization of various stages of consciousness. Added to this, the training will give you valuable insight into 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.

[...] You will also be gaining excellent discipline and training over your own states of consciousness and this, in itself, will be an important yardstick of progress for you both. [...]

[...] When training forces the ego to become too rigid and to limit its perceptions of other realities, then the intuitions will not be accepted by the ego because intuitional experience will not fit into the framework of reality that it accepts as valid.

There is no substitute for the training that you receive as you learn the knack of remembering your dreams. The very training helps you manipulate more effectively in both ordinary waking and dream conditions.

You must train yourself in that respect. The impetus of seeing your doctor friend can be enough however to bypass the lack of training in this instance. [...]

[...] It is highly important however for any such work that you begin to train yourself to take your waking consciousness with you in sleep. [...]

[...] When training forces the ego to become too rigid, and to limit its perception of other realities, then the intuitions will not be accepted by the ego because intuitional experience will not fit into the framework of reality as the ego sees it.

[...] If the ego is trained to be flexible however, it will accept such knowledge from the subconscious, and other wider horizons of the self.

It is only because, particularly in your times, you have trained yourselves to limit the nature of your own consciousnesses that such ideas seem strange. You have thus far believed that you must train your great imaginations and your intelligences to confine themselves and their activities to the physical world as you have been told it exists. [...]

[...] While your reasoning abilities at first may falter, that is only because you have trained your intellect to respond in a limited fashion.

[...] From this more plastic, looser experience, the child in dreams begins to choose more specific elements, and in so doing trains the senses themselves toward a more narrow sensitivity.

[...] These, however, do not have to be trained to a particular space-time orientation.

(10:49.) Through training, many adults have been taught that the imagination itself is suspicious. [...]

Begin training.

(Jane received the word training.)

[...] Not sure here, but that I hadn’t outgrown old religious beliefs and training or come to terms with my own energy or abilities.)

[...] This is the somewhat complicated sequence of events here: Marie Colucci took the train to her parents’ home in New Jersey, and drove her mother back to Elmira in the parental automobile. When Marie’s father died of a heart attack in NJ, Marie drove her mother back to Jersey in the parental car, then returned to Elmira herself by train.)

A distant connection with a trip by train, and the service. [...]

[...] Marie had made the trip to New Jersey, to get her mother, by train.

(We thought this connection with “a trip by train” might be the distant connection referred to by Seth, when we remembered that while Marie Colucci’s mother had been visiting in Elmira, the mother’s husband died of a heart attack at home in New Jersey, while bowling. [...]

These dreams make little impression upon the waking consciousness unless you train it and take it with you as far as it can go. [...] In the psychedelic experience the ego can be trained to act in the same manner. [...]
