“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It is basically inadequate and harmful to them, and when you judge yourself not against your own healthier ideas, but against their unhealthy attitudes, you are inadvertently judging yourself harshly.

If you find yourself falling short, of illness, then by all means consider yourself healthy, and do not cry because you cannot see or measure up to, I should say down to, the same sick standards.

[...] As a parent yourself you performed exceedingly well, and as a son also. You see, when you really realize the sum of yourself these problems will fade entirely, but please in the meantime take my word for it.

If you do not realize this emotionally then you tend to immobilize yourself, as you did the other night, when identifying your neighbor with your mother. [...]

[...] At one level of the dreaming state it is possible for you to recognize and align yourself with that portion of yourself that is aware of itself within fourth-dimensional reality. [...]

You begin to manipulate the dream state, or rather you begin to manipulate yourself within dream reality, which is something different. [...]

[...] There are indeed portions of dream reality that you yourself may not have constructed, but that are constructed by others. [...]

[...] A connection with a man, not yourself, perhaps with your landlord.

[...] Therefore it appears that your knowledge of yourself grows gradually, as your self-consciousness develops from your birth. [...]

[...] It is easy to look at yourselves or at the world, comma, to see yourself and become so hypnotized by your present state that all change or growth seems impossible, or to see the world in the same manner.

[...] I speak to you from levels of yourself that you have forgotten, and yet not forgotten. [...]

This will not be a dry treatise, studiously informing you about some hypothetical structure called the psyche, but will instead evoke from the depths of your being experiences that you have forgotten, and bring together from the vast reaches of time and space the miraculous identity that is yourself.

[...] It was not this giant that you feared, and it was easy to rid yourself of this. [...]

There is a sacrament here that you do not understand, and when you gobble down food indiscriminately, and when you do not give silent recognition to the fact that what you eat once lived, then you lose contact with a certain sacred heritage and deny yourself a certain part of a cycle in which you rightly, as physical creatures and as spiritual creatures, have a part. [...]

[...] It takes a lot of courage and a lot of determination, and the desire to let go and let yourself have some fun, in order to find out who you are and why you are here, and I expect you to put forth the effort. [...]

You were trying to hypnotize yourself. [...]

[...] In any case they are not important for an understanding of yourself. [...]

The psychological understanding of yourself is hidden within the reincarnational data that you have. [...]

[...] You are still quite timid in that you do not allow yourself to fully comprehend the changes in your behavior within the community that should result. [...]

You can indeed misinterpret it at times, but you cannot divest yourself entirely of personality any more than you can entirely drain a room of air.

[...] Use your abilities to find out your reality but do not deprive another of his reality and do not allow yourself to become impressed. [...]

[...] You do not deprive another person of air by breathing it, for you yourself contribute to the atmosphere. [...]

[...] Be yourself whoever you are, whether alike or different from your fellows. [...]

[...] The gurus say that All That Is is within you, yet tell you not to trust yourself. [...]

[...] Through honoring yourself, you honor whatever it is God is, and become a conscious co-creator.”

[...] But first you must divest yourself of the idea that your creaturehood is suspect. [...]

[...] Give yourself the suggestion before you sleep that you will remember what happens, and that even while sleeping you will be alert to my presence, and ready to follow my directions. Also, tell yourself that you will be enriched immensely by a memory of the encounter and the journey, and use those words.

[...] There will be others, like Ruburt himself and like yourself, Joseph, who will be intrigued by those fuller developments and arguments given in the basic material. [...]

[...] As it is you have no real conscious conception in any meaningful way of what I will tell you; and yet you are using intuitional and emotional depths that you have not allowed yourself to use before, and I will tell you, when you are finished, the reasons.

[...] Give yourself suggestions only when you recognize that you have achieved a certain sense of peace within you, even if it is only momentary, the feeling that you have stilled your fears for the time being.

[...] In your suggestions tell yourself in whatever way you choose that your hand can be steady under any and all conditions.

[...] You form this and then perceive the world, but your viewpoint is very small and the garden you perceive very intimate, but within yourself you have far greater abilities of perception and you are not limited to Wednesday or Thursday. [...]

[...] But you must open yourself to experience these realities in whatever way that you can. [...]

[...] For if you believe you exist only within the context of this life, that you are born only to death and annihilation, then you will not use your freedoms in this existence, and you deny their abilities when they show themselves, and no one forces this bondage upon you but yourself. [...]

Give yourself time and if you know he is there, what difference does it make if you see him physically or not? [...]

[...] To some extent these images experience “what will happen” if you yourself take one direction or the other. [...] You have, however, already sent out an energized mental image of yourself into Street Three, and you cannot withdraw that energy.

[...] You manipulate through probabilities so smoothly, in fact, and with such finesse, that you seldom catch yourself in the act of changing your course from one probability to another.

[...] You are somewhat attracted, and imagine yourself taking that course. [...]

[...] You blot out events that do not fit your present concept of yourself. [...]

You are allowing yourself more inner freedom again, and so you permitted yourself to see this. [...]

[...] Therefore when you are true to yourself, when you materialize these paintings clearly, there is also (Jane pointed at me emphatically eyes open wide) within them a ground of knowledge, intuition and being, that is instantly felt by all other individuals.

[...] To some extent, the affair of Crowder’s death made you look at yourself through what you thought were your mother’s eyes. You were judging yourself, and have, with some regularity, according to those standards. [...]

Of course, you rebelled against such feelings and beliefs, but you did not rid yourself of them. [...]

[...] As you have said yourself, the people simply want to get through their day’s job as quickly and as easily as possible. [...]

[...] You go back to writing notes for my book because you do think you make some contribution despite yourself, and because you then feel you are financially contributing. [...]

(Ruburt:) “Starting with yourself, counting yourself, the third person down to your left at that time was in conflict with you. [...]

You surround yourself with objects, and an obvious environment instantly perceived. [...]

Your own attitude will also automatically be more constructive and hopeful as you see for yourself the resulting changes as exercises are continued. [...]

[...] Your freedom as an artist will come precisely when you free yourself from identifying exclusively with that image in your relationship with yourself and the world. [...]

[...] So you thought of yourself as an artist, primarily, and judged your success, or lack of it, through that focus, and generally through that focus only.

[...] You say instead to yourself “It is too difficult,” or “It is no longer fun,” or “It is not worth it.”

[...] Beyond that, however, in the meantime the violence that you do, you do to yourself. [...] If you rip off the wing of a fly, you are yourself less. If you purposefully, now, or with malice, step upon an ant, then to the extent of your malice you step upon yourself all unknowing. Violence will always be used creatively, but if you do not understand this—and at your present rate of development you do not—then any violence is violence against yourself. [...]

[...] (Pause.) As your private conscious life is lived in a community setting of one kind or another as a rule, so do your dreams take place in the same context, so that as you dream for yourself, to some extent you also dream for your own family, for your community, and for the world.

In time this part of yourself could bring her much help, though not by any kind of dramatic, immediate revelation. [...] If she knew you as you know yourself, generally speaking, then she would not be so fearful.

We here have been concerned with expectation, and the way it influences the environment, and the actual world that you create for yourself. [...]

You have not introduced yourself to the woman who is your wife in one important manner. [...]

[...] She sees you as you have shown yourself to be, and yet she does not see the important part of you, because you do not choose to show it to her.

[...] (True.) In writing the difficulty shows itself because you are trying not to communicate certain things to yourself. [...]

You were more affected by your friend’s (Curtis Kent) departure than you realize, wondering if you yourself should find a better-paying commercial job, and yet angry that you even had such thoughts when what you really wanted was to stay home and paint.

[...] For example, it is a statement of fact, my dear Joseph, that when you leave your work on “Unknown” you must then spend much time reacquainting yourself with the material, struggling to assimilate material, regaining continuity, and so forth. [...]

[...] You must stop reinforcing the negative suggestion, and instead when you leave your desk tell yourself that when you return you will pick up your work where you left off easily and naturally.
