“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] When you finished your project,⁴ you had several days of feeling miserable, but you caught yourself and turned yourself around beautifully, and you have every right to congratulate yourself in that regard.

This certainty that you could really never support yourself as a fine artist derives its strength from that identification, and in the main from that identification alone.

[...] You were perfectly free to support yourself in your early years in that way, and your energy was released because in that regard you felt free to use it. [...]

[...] As you allowed yourself somewhat more freedom in this regard, you both saw to it that in compensation Ruburt in his appearance allowed himself less.

Instead of a shadowy element, you yourself may feel unsubstantial — “ghostly,” as Ruburt did. [...]

(Pause at 10:01.) This exercise is a mental and biological doorway that can expand both your concepts of yourself and reality. [...]

[...] You are in a position where your private experience of yourself does not correlate with what you are told by your societies, churches, sciences, archaeologies, or other disciplines. [...]

[...] Remind yourself however that even in this period of activity your creative mind is working on paintings, and you will have the time to physically produce them.

[...] Thoughts are indeed small projections of yourself, sent outward.

Even in the dream state, do not try to force yourself to project. [...]

This method simplifies things for you, since on those two nights you need only tell yourself that you will listen for Ruburt’s call. [...]

—visualize it, and feel yourself pleased that you have succeeded. [...]

Despite the fact that I had not intended to deliver any personal material this evening, a small note to you, Joseph: you should now once again concern yourself with your painting. It is very necessary to your own concept of yourself in many ways. [...]

[...] The changes themselves will begin earlier, but you will probably not be sure of them yourself until the time that I have given. [...]

[...] You can only hurt yourself. When others seem to hurt you, you use them in a way as weapons against yourself; and of course they so allow themselves to be used for their own reasons. [...]

[...] When you realize quite literally and practically that you have no other person or authority to fear, then you are free to be yourself to the best of our “ability.”

Joseph, you can help yourself considerably by giving yourself suggestions, beginning tonight, as you fall off to sleep, to the effect that your head will be clear tomorrow. [...]

[...] If you are trying to develop inner abilities however, and if you wish to allow yourself a mobility of focus, then moderation in this respect must be used. [...]

This is needed added evidence; that helps build up your confidence—when you begin to trust yourself and your body successfully enough, trust that the power to change is in the present, and organize your feeling and thoughts under a new banner—mine being: responsive.

[...] You are learning to handle the energy that is yourself, for creative purposes.

(10:07.) Since you all have a hand in forming this physical setting, and since you are ensconced yourself in a physical form, then using the physical senses you will only perceive this fantastic setting. [...]

[...] Later you might see that many of your own decisions or actions that once appeared disadvantageous, and for which you berated yourself, were in fact the very ones that helped bring your own abilities to your attention.

[...] You will find yourself at times wanting physical activity more than usual, and at other times wanting only to relax.

You must look within yourself then, for in the last analysis the beginning and the source of creativity and being reside in each individual consciousness, in the same way that each tree contains its own seed. [...]

It is only because you tell yourself that you do not know the answers that they seem unavailable. [...]

[...] In secret parts of yourself this does cause some considerable bitterness that works to your disadvantage. [...]

[...] We will have more to say concerning your (meaning me) symptoms at our next session, and offer specific suggestions; the exercises and the book should now help you rid yourself of these.

[...] Both sensations are characteristic of moments in which you almost catch yourself, almost become aware of this undifferentiated area, and then translate some of its experiences into physical terms. [...]

You can direct the healing of your body, telling yourself that this will be accomplished by you at one of the other levels of sleep consciousness, and you may ask for the aid of a Speaker to give you any necessary psychological guidance that is needed to maintain health. [...]

[...] “You [each] must have a basic approval of yourself,” Seth told us recently in a personal session. [...] You should also avoid labels, for these can stereotype your perception of yourself.”

[...] In a way you program yourself, going about your daily duties as conscientiously and effectively as usual — but at the same time you discover an additional portion of your own reality. [...]

[...] You become afraid of your private interpretation of whatever reality you find yourself experiencing.

What was not said is this: he felt that no one with whom he had been intimately involved believed in him as a person, or trusted his intrinsic value, except for yourself. [...]

It is true that for some time he then projected portions of his own overly-conscientious portions upon you, and then reacted; but it is also true that you had schooled yourself to display displeasure through a heavy silence, and were afraid of displaying your happier, sunnier emotions.

[...] Tell yourself you will have a dream that will tell you of the circumstances.

[...] Whatever your situation is, it is a good idea to ask yourself what you would do if you were free of it. [...]

I need not spare you, spare yourself, young man. [...]

[...] I cannot do this for you, and no one can do it for you, and no one can make you do it before you yourself are ready to look into the meaning of your own existence and your own personality. [...]

[...] When you are enjoying yourself you are not worrying.

[...] You visualize yourself at it naturally and effortlessly. [...]
