“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] If, for example, you have scarcely enough money on which to live, and you examine your thoughts, you may find yourself constantly thinking, “I can never pay this bill, I never have any luck, I’ll always be poor.” Or you will find yourself envying those who have more, degrading the value of money perhaps, and saying that those who have it are unhappy, or at best spiritually poor.

(11:10.) When you find these thoughts in yourself you may say, and rather indignantly: “But those things are all true. [...]

[...] You may follow your thoughts in another area, and find yourself thinking that you are having difficulty because you are too sensitive. [...]

If you follow your thoughts further you may find yourself thinking, “I am proud of my sensitivity. [...]

In one way you are the steps leading up to yourself, or the spirals leading in to yourself. [...]

[...] Slightly let yourself fall out of focus, look away, and then back to the face of the subject. Tell yourself that you will see the features and the structures shift. [...]

[...] They are not at the center of yourself, but have traveled a long way from the center of yourself. [...]

[...] Let yourself remember.

[...] Begin with innocuous but annoying physical conditions, however, and try to work those out for yourself. [...] When you have a headache or a simple stomach upset, or if you have a chronic, annoying but not serious condition, such as trouble with your sinuses, or if you have hay fever — in those situations, remind yourself that your body does indeed have the capacity to heal itself.” [...]

[...] In your own way then translate the acceleration and see where it brings you and how far your consciousness can go with it before you become dizzy and how far back you can look and how far forward and how far and how deeply into yourself you can look. And when you look deeply into yourself where does this lead you? [...]

(To Dee G.) And it is far better to look within yourself for answers than to receive them from the outside. [...]

[...] Do not stop yourself or question or wonder. [...]

[...] Now to go into a trance is simply to focus intensely in a highly specific area of reality and, therefore, I throw or project a part of what I am here because I am able to utilize greater areas of my personality than those with which you are now acquainted in yourself. [...]

[...] Now these challenges, in a so-called past life, you have set for yourself. [...]

The problems you set for yourself for this life you set in the hope that you will solve them. [...]

[...] You create from nothing the experience that is your own, and if you do not like your experience then look within yourself and then you can change your experience, but realize also, that you are responsible for your joys and triumphs. [...]

If you want to clear up an argument, tell yourself that you will do so in the dream state. [...] Request the answer to any problem and it will be given, but you must trust yourself and learn to interpret your own dreams. There is no other way to do this except by beginning yourself and working with your own dreams, for this will awaken your intuitive abilities and give you the knowledge that you need.

[...] You have within yourself the condensed knowledge of your entire being. [...]

[...] Your being, the greater consciousness that is yourself, intersects with space and time; it is born in flesh simultaneously at many [moment] “points.” [...]

[...] When you change your affiliation and find yourself now and then encountering such feelings; and they are always one way or another feelings of insecurity—then admit to yourself that while they made sense in the unsafe universe, they do not belong in the safe one. [...]

When you find yourself at all in any kind of physical discomfort, quietly remind yourself that you do indeed believe you live in a safe universe—and this will remind the body, and allow it to relax.

[...] When you find yourself in a period of distress, it is because you do not trust your safety. [...]

[...] It works with you when you let it, and you attract to yourself all of those conditions that are cooperative to your ventures.

You must first of all cease identifying yourself completely with your ego. [...] You demand more of yourself than you have ever demanded in your life. [...]

They did not encourage you to use your own abilities and look within yourself. So now I encourage you to look within yourself and to use your abilities, both intuitional abilities and intellectual abilities. [...]

[...] I invite you, therefore, to listen within yourself and to use my voice as a beacon in the darkness—a point of safety. It can illuminate many ways and you can feel safe to follow these ways into other personalities that are a portion of yourself—and into other realities in which you also have your existence. [...]

[...] I ask you, as Ruburt has often, to realize that within yourself there are endless dimensions, and that you can travel safely within them. [...]

[...] You are determined to use your abilities, but you are ever on your guard to see that you use your abilities, and that they do not “use you;” so you set up working habits, but you do not allow yourself a real environment of freedom in which to work. You consciously tell yourself over and over that this or that bothers you. [...]

[...] As long as you keep telling yourself those things, they will be true. [...] How many times have you said that to yourself—yet in that statement lies great freedom, for you must change your belief.

[...] The painting does not bring in money, so to punish yourself you do not enjoy it sufficiently—but concentrate upon the distractions instead. You do your financial part with the books, but you still tie in your social identity with your painting, and to some extent you still feel that that social identity is dependent upon the money your “art” should produce, so you punish yourself by not enjoying your painting time. [...]

[...] In doing so you rob yourself of peace of mind. [...]

Now it is often difficult to see yourself clearly, and your situation, because you seem so close to it. It is quite possible however when you know how to use one of these passageways and look at yourself and your situation from a different viewpoint, to see it in greater perspective and from outside your particular room—to see it perhaps more clearly in its entirety.

[...] You can see when Ruburt does this, so do not do it yourself. [...]

[...] Tell yourself that you would like to travel through that passageway, and that he will be there to help you do so.

[...] I have told you something about this other portion of yourself so that you will be able to relate to him and see how your interests merge. [...]

[...] The inhibition you were enforcing upon yourself by working outside was reflected in your work inevitably, as soon as you became aware that the course no longer served its purpose. You were not one with yourself or with your course of action. You were somewhat apart from yourself then.

The psychic developments are also interbound in your own work, because you doubted yourself the preparation time was extended by you. The final period was and is to be one in which your energies are directed to your work without the outside job, for finally you began to feel that you were not doing what you should do; this itself inhibited your trust in yourself further, and therefore the development of your work.

[...] (Long pause at 9:10.) You chose the circumstances against which to pit yourself. [...]

[...] You knew you were preparing yourself, but the time of preparation was extended beyond what it need have been. [...]

Tell yourself that you will, while sleeping, be alert to any changed atmosphere within the room; for there will be a change. [...] Now tell yourself that your conscious mind can be alert while you sleep and dream, alert enough to recognize a changed atmosphere.

Part of this involves making yourself available intuitively so that the answers may come. [...]

[...] It is highly important however for any such work that you begin to train yourself to take your waking consciousness with you in sleep. [...]

You must train yourself in that respect. [...]

[...] Because of this you have been able to relate to yourself and to others in a more effective manner and to understand others from a different point of view. [...]

[...] I suggest, however, that you use your own means to probe into those feelings so that you work them out for yourself. [...]

[...] Joy, faithfully followed, can lead you to the inner vitality that dwells within yourself and, hence, to All That Is. [...]

[...] If, however, you try to hide them from yourself, then they become like knots that bind you. [...]

[...] You draw to yourself in this existence and in all others those qualities upon which you concentrate your attention. If you vividly concern yourself with the injustices you feel have been done you, then you attract more such experience, and if this goes on, then it will be mirrored in your next existence. [...]

[...] In such cases, through perhaps a group of existences, you will find yourself battling against ideas of good and evil, running about in a circle of confusion, doubt, and anxiety.

Your friends and acquaintances will be concerned with the same problems, for you will draw to yourself those with the same concerns. [...]

[...] There is nothing outside of yourself that will force you to understand these issues or face them.

[...] You can rid yourself of the physical symptom perhaps, by taking medicine, but the illness will break out again and again. You can only rid yourself of such a condition by discovering the inner reason for it, by discovering the inner illness. [...]

[...] The self you call yourself, what does it know? [...] The self that you call yourself knows relatively little. [...]

Those of you who would change your world, then I tell you, listen: for if you would change your world you must listen to the voice within yourself. [...] You must inspect the innermost portions of yourself, and from this indeed shall you be resurrected.

[...] If you see but one item within your universe and it disgusts you, then look within yourself, for you have helped create it.

For another exercise, imagine that you are in another part of the world entirely, but in present time, and ask yourself the same questions. [...] Place yourself a week ahead in time. [...] What they will teach you cannot be explained, for they will provide a dimension of experience, a feeling about yourself that may make sense only to you.

[...] Just before you sleep, see yourself as you are, but living in a past or future century — or simply pretend that you were born 10 or 20 years earlier or later. [...]

They will teach you to find your own sensations of yourself, as divorced from the official context of reality, in which you usually perceive your being. [...]

[...] Tell yourself that you are imaginatively traveling.

[...] But there are deep connections between yourself and all those individuals with whom you have had relationships, and with whom you were involved in deep decisions.

[...] Now there is a natural attraction between yourself and other probable selves, electromagnetic connections having to do with simultaneous propulsions of energy. [...]

[...] Because you are involved in an intricate psychological gestalt such as this, and because the connections mentioned earlier do exist, you can avail yourself to some extent of abilities and knowledge possessed by these other probable portions of your personality.

[...] I am not telling you to run off and buy one, but you could however act on the impulse as far as is reasonably possible — renting a violin, simply acquainting yourself with violin concerti, etc.

[...] What do you think of yourself, your daily life, your body, your relationship with others? Ask yourself these questions. [...]

You cannot will yourself to be happy while believing that you have no right to happiness, or that you are unworthy of it. You cannot tell yourself to release aggressive thoughts if you think it is wrong to free them, so you must come to grips with your beliefs in all instances.

[...] You will feel aggressive, happy, despairing, or determined according to events that happen to you, your beliefs about yourself in relation to them, and your ideas of who and what you are. [...]

[...] If you believe that all such thoughts are wrong you will inhibit them and feel all the more guilty — which will generate aggressiveness against yourself and further deepen your sense of unworthiness.

You could retain the identity of yourself as you know yourself, and yet flow into a greater field or wave of reality that allowed you to perceive your own other motions or shapes or versions. [...]

You can do this the easiest way, perhaps, by observing yourself in the dream state, for there you create versions of yourself constantly. [...]

[...] If you are alert and curious while dreaming (and you can learn to be), then you can catch yourself in the act of creating a dream’s past and future at once.

[...] In your conception of the centuries, then, there are other counterparts of yourself living at the same time and in different places — all creative versions of the original self. [...]

(Long pause.) Your ideas about yourself are, again, vital in the larger context of a healthy lifetime. [...] If you consider yourself to be coldhearted, or heartless, those feelings will have a significant effect upon that physical organ. [...]

(Pause at 4:25.) The sooner you can rid yourself of rigid beliefs about the survival of the fittest, the better you will be. [...]
