[...] You have your greatest difficulty in relating to yourself, and you avoid meeting yourself in your sensitivity sessions, and you only use them as an excuse so that you can tell yourself that you are going as far as you should. You are telling yourself that you are a good girl. Now, until you are ready to look deeper within yourself that is fine, but I want you to realize what you are doing. [...]

Until you are honest with yourself and know yourself and become consciously aware of yourself you cannot honestly relate with others for you project upon them your own fears and your own prejudice, and you cannot afford to help them because you have too many insecurities within yourself. Now, you form the physical reality that you know, individually and en masse, and to change the world that you know you must change your thoughts and to change them you must become consciously aware of what you tell yourself is true every moment of the day for that is your reality, and that is what you project outward. [...]

[...] When you do not know what else to do, relax and tell yourself that other portions of yourself do know what to do, and they will take over. Give yourself some rest and remind yourself that in many ways you are a very successful person as you are. [...]

Relax yourself as much as possible. [...] Tell yourself mentally that you are an excellent person, and that you want to reprogram yourself, getting rid of any ideas that contradict that particular statement.

For another exercise, then, relax yourself as much as possible once more. [...] Tell yourself that you can see inside your body. [...] Then mentally see yourself sweeping the debris away. [...]

Next, gently remind yourself again: “I am an excellent person,” adding: “It is good and safe for me to express my own abilities, for in doing so I express the energy of the universe itself.”

[...] If you believe in hell, you may find yourself getting warm. [...]

[...] Allow yourself some joy and find peace.

[...] Allow the child freedom and allow yourself freedom. [...]

You blamed yourself for financial reasons, though consciously this would be the last thing to come to your mind. You think yourself quite free of financial conditions, and as an adult now in independent terms set yourself free of your parents. But subconsciously you wondered what social environment your child would really (underlined) encounter„ and whether or not you deprived him of the social and economic benefits that you have convinced yourself, consciously, you do not need.

[...] You never forgave yourself, and now in your first reincarnation as a woman since that time, you decided to be the vehicle through which he could enter physical reality again, and so became his mother in physical terms.

[...] Regardless of what you thought consciously therefore, you still inwardly blamed yourself for letting the child go, and therefore the difficulty with the womanly organs.

Until you are honest with yourself and become consciously aware of yourself, you cannot honestly relate with others; you will project upon them your own fears and prejudices. You cannot afford to help them because you have too many insecurities within yourself. [...] You must become consciously aware of what you tell yourself is true every moment of the day, for that is the reality that you project outward.

[...] When you do not know what to do, relax and tell yourself that other portions of yourself do know; they will take over. Give yourself some rest. Remind yourself that in many ways you are a very successful person as you are. [...]

Not only that, but because you sense in yourself still some sympathy toward the beliefs. While you are freeing yourself you recognize within your psyche a leaning in that direction, and so you lash out whenever you hear such ideas, not realizing that you lash out against yourself.

[...] You know more about your nightly excursions than you admit to yourself. [...] You can, however, allow yourself more freedom than you are now allowing yourself. And I tell you this honestly—you can afford yourself more freedom than you are presently allowing yourself. [...] You will also get better physical results if you will allow yourself more inner freedom for you will gain energy and strength that you need now. [...]

[...] I am speaking to you now since you have set yourself (Brad) some problems. It took courage to set yourself the particular problems that you did for this existence, otherwise you would have tackled so many at one time, so to speak. [...]

But you will find that it is easy for you to support yourself, to find in other words a position and to hold it well, when you realize that these fears are projections from another time that have no relationship to the environment in which you now find yourself. [...]

[...] In doing so you begin with yourself. I told you (in the 619th session) to imagine a game in which you see yourself acting in line with the new desired belief. As you do so, see yourself affecting others in the new fashion.

In your daily physical life you are usually concerned simply with changing your beliefs about yourself, and then changing the beliefs others hold about you. You will find conflicting beliefs within yourself and you must become aware of these. As an example, you may believe that you want to understand the nature of your inner self — you may tell yourself you want to remember your dreams, but at the same time still hold a belief in the basic unworthiness of the self, and be quite frightened of remembering your dreams because of what you might find there.

[...] In the meantime you will often be in the position of telling yourself that something is true in the face of physical data that seems completely contradictory. [...]

If, on the other hand, thinking of him under the same conditions, you stop yourself and say gently to yourself: he will begin to feel better now—or his drinking is temporary—and there is indeed hope here, then you have given him aid, for the suggestions will at least represent some small telepathic ammunition to fight off the war of despondency.

[...] If you want to know what you think of yourself, then ask yourself what you think of others, and you will find your answer.

Now: if you find yourself saying to yourself: “I have a headache,” you must immediately say “That is in the past. [...]

[...] You learned discipline, for to a large extent you did not allow yourself to express your own creativity but put yourself at the service of the communication of others. You did not allow yourself, even, to communicate through music. [...]

Now there are some past-life reasons for your attitudes and also for the profession in which you find yourself, and we will go into those. But first of all you must understand that you can draw health to yourself and vitality and strength and that you are not at the mercy of any poor crawling germs or little flying monsters that come to attack you or your family, nor are you at the mercy of any fact. [...] Now, this you have created for yourself and you can cease creating it. [...]

[...] You used the flute to free yourself from the household and your position. [...] For some years, however, while you were financially secure yourself, you could not support them, and they were let out to the house of another wealthy man. [...]

[...] When you find yourself facing such negative images in your mind and projecting them into the future, you should at once mentally wipe out that image and replace it with a constructive image, seeing yourself, for example, sitting in command of a well-ordered room.

[...] Any time you see yourself in your mind as unhealthy or staggering, you must immediately wipe the image away and make an effort to see instead a mental image of yourself as healthy and strong.

I told you to tell yourself: I will only react to constructive suggestions. If however, you find yourself harboring a negative suggestion, then instantly counter it by replacing it with a constructive one.

Some for you are, also: but divest yourself of all your beliefs that you did not fully understand or use your painting abilities “in your youth.” [...] “Why couldn’t I have known when I was a young man about my abilities, and how best to use them?” Think of yourself as a young man using them, and you will automatically be free of many hampering concepts in your work.

[...] By equating it with youth in your mind you deny it to yourself in your present, and therefore deny yourself energy that is (underlined three times) available to be used.

[...] You may think of yourself as primarily a parent, or mainly in terms of your job or profession. As much as possible, for now, forget the normal familiar light in which you see yourself, and consider your identity.

[...] How to Free Yourself from Limitations.”

When you are determined to manipulate your environment, then you separate yourself from it. Since you are part of it, this also leads you to try to place yourself apart from your own subjective reality. [...]

[...] You may feel rooted like a tree at one moment and in the next experience yourself as a beautiful peacock, in which case you will perceive the tree change into the bird.

Such a procedure can bring you in contact with wisdom you have been denying yourself, help unify your entire life situation, and release your energy for practical everyday purposes. [...]

[...] I tell you that you have within yourself the ability to solve your problems. You have within yourself the ability to stand up and make your way. [...] The answers to your problems lie within yourself and you can discover them—and in discovering them, you use your strength. [...]

Now, there is a tower of strength—but it is not outside yourself, but within yourself. [...] Avail yourself of it. [...]

[...] Is it a vehicle that will carry him back to your heart—ask yourself such a question honestly and look for your answers. You can use your love of your son as a vehicle —and as a vehicle that will help you find yourself. [...]

When you have done this, ask yourself which scene evokes the strongest emotional response. Tell yourself that it will become larger and larger, then mentally watch its size change. [...]

[...] Tell yourself you are going to do so, and begin with the first thought or image that comes to mind. When you are finished with your daydream, then use free association to interpret it to yourself.

Dictation: You experience yourself in a certain way topside, so to speak, and so in order to take advantage of information at other levels of awareness, you must learn to experience those other organizational systems with which you are usually unfamiliar.

[...] Your own personality is set up with strongly contrasting elements, as you yourself know. [...] At the same time, however, you are also frightened of committing yourself to your belief and acting upon it wholeheartedly. [...]

Now, you did have a positive effect on those individuals so there is no reason to blame yourself, but you were meant to witness what happened to them and to see for yourself where the utter sense of purposelessness can lead. [...]

There are also reincarnational relationships, not necessarily with those involved, that had to do with your acquaintanceship with them in this existence, and some- time I will tell you what they are if you do not find out for yourself and I would rather you found out for yourself. [...]

[...] You shall indeed, get traffic tickets and of a different kind, only you yourself give yourself tickets. [...] You can manipulate events and you can manipulate them for your own egotistical purposes; but when you do so, you give yourself a traffic ticket. [...] When you drive your car you often attempt to speed through reality as quickly as you can, and you are pleased with yourself as the driver of the vehicle. [...] You do not have to go any place to get that destination; and it is only when you think that that destination lies elsewhere that you allow yourself to go astray. [...] When you realize that your own identity is within you will not spend energy seeking to find yourself in others. [...]

[...] You have given yourself several traffic tickets. [...] And that is why you have given yourself a traffic ticket now and then, What you are learning is a technique for self-development. [...] It is nothing to blame yourself for. [...] You cannot blame yourself for not being further along the line. [...] There must always be the acknowledgement that you do not consciously as yet realize the depths of yourself, the goals you have set and the challenges, and this material should be used to open up your inner horizons and to lead you in those directions toward which your inner self has already set you. [...]

Now, you see, you have been robbing yourself of an experience of truly knowing these individual men, for you have not permitted yourself to see them as they are and as they have been. After three lives as a male, you have indeed acclimated yourself very well. [...] I sense you yelling to yourself when you see a male in strong action or performance, I sense you yelling to yourself—I can do that better than you can for I have done it before—again this is reflected in the way you drive your car.

[...] You were trying to force yourself and yet punish yourself. [...] You were trying to punish yourself for not making more money as an artist, since you still felt her old demands.

[...] The overall concentrations should not be on ridding yourself of any particular symptom, but on directing yourself properly toward your goals, for this direction and proper focusing will automatically result in the disappearance of symptoms.

Your own symptoms have been caused also by an inner indecision, a refusal to come to terms with yourself and your work.

[...] Travel through the personality that you call yourself. Do not take it at face value but feel within yourself for the hidden self that is within. [...]

[...] You have projected yourself to this room, in your terms, from other times and other places. [...]

Now you may each interpret your experiences in your own way but feel the independence of yourself from this room and from this time and from this existence. [...]

[...] They are in the back of your mind and what you said earlier this evening was a rationalization, for you have hidden your own fears from yourself. I say this now, not in a critical fashion, but so that you understand you are projecting outward that which you fear in yourself and others. [...]

(Seth speaking to Stan after Stan had discussed spirits and demons:) ...Through merely the mental and physical contortions that you have forced yourself through this evening. [...]

[...] If you believe in them you are letting yourself in for difficulties. [...]
