“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A flexible body suddenly in the position of Ruburt’s would protest, and it is a sign of his progress that he now feels that protest. It triggers his release. The discomfort itself, accepted, triggers those body responses that will and are righting the situation. This is highly important. You can minimize pain or discomfort through drugs, cutting down on the “cry” of any symptoms. The cry of symptoms, however, is meant to bring about a new condition, to trigger healing aspects, so drugs can often impede the healing process.

Now Ruburt mentally cut down upon the discomfort of his symptoms, so that the body did not feel its own discomfort strongly enough to trigger healing processes to the degree necessary. If you would keep track, you would find that the sore areas are being treated, and trigger their own releases. This same process follows in many areas of all illnesses. The body is a self-healing mechanism. It counts upon feedback data, however. You do not help ulcer victims by having them avoid certain foods. Instead you remove the impetus for improvement by minimizing the symptoms, which, ideally now, would activate psychological, spiritual, mental, and physical centers, bringing about necessary adjustments.

[...] Certain leanings, inclinations, and probabilities are present then in your biological structure, to be triggered or not according to your purposes and intents. [...] Yet your inclinations and intents may carry you in a different direction, so that the necessary triggers are not activated. [...]

[...] This heritage must be triggered psychically, however, as a physical mechanism such as a muscle is triggered through desire or intent.

[...] We will further describe the triggers that can make such information practical, or bring it into practical range.

[...] Without the triggering desire, the skill would not be developed; but even when you do learn a skill, you use it in your own unique way. [...]

[...] Events can trigger genetic activity—not simply through, say, chemical reactions, but through individual and mass beliefs about the safety or lack of it in the world at large.

There are also what I will call genetic dreams, which are inspired directly by genetic triggering. [...]

[...] The precise orientation of that conceptualizing, and the precise orientation of the thinking patterns, wait for certain physical triggers received from the parents and the environment after birth, but the processes of conceptualization and of thought are already established. [...]

[...] The ability to use language is also genetically built-in, through the precise orientation, again, with the physical triggering of the parents’ native language. [...]

[...] My ideas had been triggered by an article I’d read yesterday in a recent Science Digest article, which I’ll file: At first glance, I’d told Jane later, the article seemed very good. [...]

[...] In this case at this time, however, they can serve as valuable springboards to release from your own creative areas new triggers for inspiration and understanding, and hence for therapeutic development. [...]

[...] That is, the problem would have popped up in a different fashion regardless of the apparent trigger. [...]

(Long pause at 8:48.) If the apparent trigger of a difficulty is a creative accomplishment, then the difficulty itself is “loaded” also with its own natural therapeutic solutions. [...]

Ruburt’s improvement in a way triggered your hopes, and because of your beliefs of the past also triggered your deep fears. [...]

[...] It is the overemphasis upon work and career—overemphasis, now, that brings about or triggers the fears behind the difficulties.

[...] This kind of situation of course then triggers old fears of doubt or threat. [...]

[...] That emphasis alone, with the material I mentioned, and the triggering fears, further opens the door to other worries.

[...] Certainly the weaknesses said that the material was not true – because when he emphasizes work over creativity he becomes overly conscientious, overly concerned with responsibility, and puts himself in a situation where old fears are indeed triggered.

[...] It is not that your thoughts just trigger chemical reactions in the body, but that your thoughts have a chemical reality besides their recognizable mental aspects. [...] Their vitality automatically triggers (long pause, eyes open) all of the body’s inner responses. [...]

[...] It is not just that thoughts influence the body, as of course they do; but each one of them represents a triggering stimulus, bringing about hormonal changes and altering the entire physical situation at any given time.

[...] In the past they triggered certain responses, to some extent leading to his physical condition.

[...] These in everyone serve as trigger stimuli, to which often unconsciously the body responds, and with a highly specific kind of discrimination.

Triggers were needed also to initiate my emergence through that personality I display into your world. [...] It was the practical impetus of your need at the time, however, that operated as the final emotional trigger—you recall the circumstances.

When you became ill the trigger was set to find another solution.

[...] Ruburt’s own development triggers certain psychic activity that then triggers further growth. [...]

[...] This kind of information can at least trigger responses on your part, increasing still further the scope of knowledge that you can receive from me.

[...] I discovered them running through my mind as I faced the easel, with no idea of what association might have triggered them. [...]

[...] The belief triggers body chemicals in a certain fashion, though the process itself involves an interaction between the air and the chemicals of the body, which form together a protective shield that repels the action of the fire.

[...] It may have been triggered by envy of another person, or for the sake of fame, but it does not fit her abilities. [...]

[...] The desire to walk, released and expressed, again automatically triggers in Framework 2 all of the necessary conditions. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) You are not one thing and illness another, for your thoughts and emotions are the triggers that lead to bouts of poor health. [...]

(Then I also took down Jane’s own letter to contributors, which was obviously triggered by Seth’s. She dictated this quite as easily as Seth had done his own. [...]

[...] On the other hand, it was also triggered by Ruburt’s suggestions, when he playfully (musically almost) imagined himself telling you of significant improvements, without wondering what they would be. [...]

[...] I told Jane, also, that yesterday she had referred to a looser feeling inside her left elbow, a greater softness, so Seth was right: these particular improvements had been in the works, yet triggered by Jane’s suggestions. [...]

[...] So some indispositions “caused by viruses” are accepted by the body as welcome triggers, to clean out that system, and this applies to your present indispositions.

[...] They throw off a barrage of “foul viruses”—that is, they actually collect and mobilize from within their own bodies viruses that are potentially harmful, biologically trigger these, or activate them, and send them out into the environment in self-protection, to ward off the enemy (more vigorously).

(With a smile:) Your bodies had not received any such goodies in some time, so they exuberantly used them as triggers to regenerate the immune systems.

[...] It had been Leonard’s illness that had triggered a set of symptoms of my own, which Seth has been treating in these recent deleted sessions. [...]

[...] I’d felt good yesterday for the first time in a long while, again, and told Jane that even though I’d quite forgotten the problems yesterday, today’s events showed that they hadn’t been solved, but merely temporarily forgotten until triggered again.

[...] The temples are important, and the relaxation there did help trigger the knee releases.

Your dream was triggered specifically by Frank’s visit (yesterday noon), and his discussion about his daughter, Jean.

(As we talked, something triggered Jane’s memory of a time in her teens when she’d hiked all the way out to the garage where her grandfather had worked in Saratoga Springs — “way across town.” [...]

[...] However, the call evidently helped trigger a “panic” attack, as I call them, on my part, involving palpitations in the chest. [...] Naturally this is brought about by my own reactions to whatever the trigger happens to be, but still “Unknown,” and other creative endeavors have often been involved, when conflicts between what I think of as useful creative work run into doing things like shoveling snow, or other household items that I seem to think of as “chores.” [...]

[...] Each change he notices, however minute, acts as a trigger, activating other portions of the body, which themselves must then be aroused, exercised and strengthened before they in turn begin to play a new dependable role in overall mobility.
