“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You feel my presence, you see, because you allow yourself to do so. [...] (Smile.) You have taken it and used it and made it a part of yourself. [...]

[...] He felt you were not putting yourself to the test, that you were holding back while he was putting himself to the test, and often not doing too well.

The fact that you would say “I am giving you the opportunity to do this by my job” entrapped him further, for he felt basically that underneath this was another reason: that if you wanted badly enough to paint all the time that you would do so, that you should have done so, that you should do so, that you would and could have managed without jobs, particularly in the later years, and that you were betraying yourself and therefore him. [...]

[...] He felt you were denying yourself the one thing you wanted out of life above all others.

[...] Then it means that you do not waste time and energy in apathy, or in crying over the past, but that you see yourself at last beginning upon a course of action that is highly important. [...]

You show a certain picture of yourself to the world. [...] There are habitual patterns of behavior that operate, as you more or less stabilize your picture of yourself in relationship with families and friends. [...]

Psychocybernetics (underlined) is a good handbook, very simplified, with some distortions, but its premise is quite correct: you do hypnotize yourself into such situations. [...]

[...] First of all, our private session...You did an excellent job of recognizing the Nebene characteristics in yourself, and changing the nature of their direction. [...]

You met these aspects in yourself and were able to identify the characteristics, and therefore deal with them. [...]

Besides working with body belief, you are automatically working with the inner belief, showing him that physical activity can be mixed with creativity in the book and in our sessions, that you approve, yourself, and that he is physically capable.

[...] You may make intellectual adjustments yourself, but Ruburt has not made them. [...] Whenever you speak of weight yourself it is with that connotation. [...]

You were partially grateful for it, and partially angry, but at yourself. [...]

[...] It will not be found outside of yourselves, but through an inner journey into yourself, through yourself and through the world that you know.

[...] When you think of the soul as a closed system you perceive it as such, and close off from yourself the knowledge of its greater creativity and characteristics.

[...] If you do entertain such ideas yourself, you must often personify such spirits, projecting upon them your own ideas of personhood. [...]

[...] The term may not be the best, but it is meant to express that portion of you that is as yet unexpressed in your terms — the idealized earth version of yourself, which you are becoming. [...]

That earth-god portion of yourself attempts to direct you through probabilities. [...]

You may find yourself, for example, in the middle of a battle that was once planned in some general’s mind, a battle that never materialized in physical reality. [...] However, you might be attracted enough to project yourself spontaneously into the body of one of the soldiers, in which case you could experience pain until your own fear pulled you back. [...]

For all practical purposes, of course, you will usually find yourself in some sort of body form in your out-of-body experiences. [...]

[...] You may find yourself in a room with certain people. [...]

[...] It is possible for you to project yourself into one of your own future landscapes. [...]

[...] Not only in regard to yourself, but in regard to your younger brother, and to Ruburt. [...]

[...] Later you find yourself unhurt. [...]

Now you are afraid in the next dream that you both are in over your heads, so you see yourself and your brother in the water. [...]

[...] Your brother is taking too much on as a result of his own impulsive nature, and you recognize that he could indeed go under long before yourself, so to speak, although he is younger.

(Pause at 9:20.) The you that you consider yourself is never annihilated. [...]

You possess within yourself all of those potentials in which consciousness creatively takes part. [...]

(Long pause.) Imagine yourself as a portion of an invisible universe, but one in which all the stars and planets are conscious and full of indescribable energy. [...]

If in your private subjective reality you label yourself, unthinkingly now, in too-limited a fashion, then you can see yourself for example as the isolated artist at the brunt of society, the misunderstood poet that must be protected from the world’s ways—mythic material that falls short. Such ideas can have strength only if you forget to identify yourself with the great inner order of nature, and with the physical natural world.

[...] You are seeing what happens when spontaneity becomes hampered through beliefs, and in your early life you believed you must hamper it in yourself. [...]

You are seeing what could have happened to yourself. [...]

[...] Yet you yourself often said in the past that suggestion could not be that important. [...]

[...] It is very important that you divest yourself of as many preconceptions as possible, however, for these will impede your progress.

Therefore, if you find yourself concentrating upon the evils of physical existence in such a manner, then you are not ready for such explorations. [...]

If it is your own thought-form, then, in fact, you may learn from it by asking yourself what it represents, what problem that you have so materialized. [...]

Now your own physical image is the materialization of your idea of yourself within the properties of matter. Without the idea of yourself, your physical image would not be; yet often it is all you are aware of. The initial power and energy of that idea of yourself keeps your image alive. [...]

[...] Some stages through which you pass are native stages to other kinds of consciousness, and while passing through these you will find yourself using symbols in the way that is characteristic of that level.

[...] You may find yourself experiencing a state of consciousness, for example, in which nothing seems to happen, and no psychological landscape or recognizable symbols occur. [...]

[...] Or you may enter those areas yourself, with more training. [...]

[...] In dreams you may experience an event seemingly as someone else, or you may find yourself in the past or future instead of the present. [...] In dreams you may find yourself married to someone else, or living an entirely different kind of life. [...]

[...] You are yourself, yet at that level you are also a part of that universe from which that self springs, and its power and vitality are your own, to be uniquely focused. [...]

You considered yourself not impulsive, yet it is you who wrote “Make me a galaxy, Jane,” took up with Ruburt after a very brief acquaintanceship, and brought him home to your startled family.

[...] When you feel at the same time that you must and should plow the driveway out yourself, to prove that you are the same as your neighbor, or to prove that you are physically agile, and on the other hand if you feel that you do not want to plow out the driveway at all, then you are in a quandary—and when you shovel, you tell your body to shovel and not to shovel at the same time, setting your muscles against each other.

[...] If you shovel you are not suddenly going to decide to devote yourself to a life of physical chores, and “meaningless” activity, and ignore your creative work. [...]

If you will remember what you know of the trance state, you are for example in a light trance, able to maintain awareness of yourself, your environment and your place in it. You simply behave somewhat differently, not bestirring yourself in any direction unless the suggestion to do so be given you.

[...] You have been doing very well, for you, in allowing yourself psychic freedom. [...]

[...] What you must still understand is that the same applies to yourself.

When you are overly concerned with physical matters, and even vital physical matters, you pull yourself in. [...]

[...] You as a consciousness, seek to know yourself, and to some extent or other, you become aware of your self as a distinct and individual portion of All That Is. [...]

You are yourself obviously an energy gestalt; as you become more fully conscious of reality your sense of identity will contain larger and larger aspects of reality.

[...] Choose simply to change that concentration away from Ruburt’s symptoms, each of you, whenever you find yourself concentrating upon them. [...] Simply tell yourself to concentrate upon something else.

[...] Do not tell yourself, “He will do better,” but see it being done in the point of power. [...]
