“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Many of the sensations or stages that are definitely considered negative at such times, and certainly appear so in your experience, are the result of misunderstandings because of ingrained beliefs about body behavior, or the result of your lack of confidence. When that continues, the improvements, which are often considerable, appear invisible—or, again, you do not trust them. Further anxiety results.

Ruburt was quite instantly aware of his own reaction, and the several hours it took him to regain some sense of confidence. He gives himself however the same kind of suggestion often, when perhaps it is not so obvious, and you also act in the same manner. Such behavior is the result of ingrained learning, and also of fear patterns that are the result of medical beliefs in particular.

In the past, improvements did not “take” for a long-enough period to produce desired results, because of your own lacks of confidence—Ruburt in particular and you secondarily. If you do trust the body and its wisdom, then you trust it. I will try to clear up such issues as they arise. For now you must take it for granted that such conditions will exist.

[...] The last notes I gave you are extremely important, but he must not become overly concerned with results, but know that the new beliefs will bring results, as the old ones did, and as beautifully. [...]

Your brilliance (?) in your work, and Ruburt’s in his, partially results from the fact that you ignored the mental reality, the psychic and spiritual reality you saw all about you. [...]

[...] If you can, playfully, playfully together, imagine you and Ruburt chasing each other up and down the stairs, or dancing beautifully, or whatever comes into your mind, as long as it is not serious, and you do not expect instant results.

[...] In many cases ten hours sleep, for example, is actually disadvantageous, resulting in a sluggishness both of mind and body. In this case the spirit has simply been away from the body for too long a time, resulting in a loss of muscular flexibility.

As a result of more frequent, briefer sleep periods, there would also be higher peaks of conscious focus, and a more steady renewal of both physical and psychic activity. [...] A more economical use of energy would result, and also a more effective use of nutrients. [...]

[...] Instead the greater flexibility would result in a perfection of conscious focus. The seeming great division between the waking and the sleeping self is largely a result of the division in function, the two being largely separated — a block of time being allotted to the one, and a larger block of time to the other. [...]

It is this dilemma, precisely between identity’s constant attempts to maintain stability, and action’s inherent drive for change, that results in the imbalance, the exquisite creative by-product that is consciousness of self. [...] Identity must seek stability while action must seek change, yet identity could not exist without change, without action, for it is the result of action, and not apart from it but a part of it.

[...] I have said that the second dilemma resulted in, and constantly results in, consciousness of self. [...]

[...] The difference between consciousness of self as a result of our second dilemma, and ego consciousness as a result of our third dilemma, should be made very clear.

[...] That is why your suggestions of today are so vital, stating that you do have faith that Ruburt’s condition is now in the process of being healed in Framework 2, and that the results will show in Framework 1. It is important that you realize that the healing is now taking place in Framework 2 whether or not you see immediate results in any given day or not. [...]

(In recent days we’ve had several conversations about Frameworks 1 and 2, and these have apparently begun to show results. [...]

Negative beliefs have to be inserted there with great repetitiveness before you meet their physical results. [...]

It is quite possible you see for you to have results tomorrow, but it takes time to paint the picture from your idea. You know you will do the painting in physical terms, and you know you will have results in this endeavor, and excellent ones. [...]

[...] I will give you suggestions to use, and affirmations that will show results in all aspects, financial and otherwise. The change in your attitude will automatically begin to bring results in any case, and in all areas. [...]

Remember that your present reality is the result of years of positive and negative thought patterns. [...]

[...] Your reasoning can deal only with results of your physical perception, however — at least with the training your societies have allowed it. You have in fact denied your reasoning the results of important data, for you have taught it to distrust the psychic faculties. [...]

(With many pauses:) Dictation: The physical universe is the result of idea construction, as Ruburt perceived in the experience mentioned in the last session (at 11:10).

[...] Your individual desires and intents direct that activity of your body’s spontaneous processes — that is, your body walks across the floor at your command as a result of your wishes, even though the processes involved must happen “by themselves.”

This will result in complete belief on his part, and this belief will enable us to achieve results denied us in the past. [...]

[...] His rigidity of attitude resulted in a trend for self-destruction, tempered it is true, but dangerous. There was a resultant manufacture of various chemicals within his system that tended to reproduce and perpetuate the depressed state of mind. [...]

[...] The resultant heaviness of limb, the swelling of various portions of the body having to do with an overproduction of a chemical, I believe, called pectorin, or something very similar.

[...] This can have practical results, for you will be able to recognize and use the tension itself toward purposeful goals. [...] Recognizing the tension itself will allow you to choose the action that will result, to some degree.

[...] Certain tensions are maintained here, and all communications, incidentally, are the results of tensions.

[...] All actions are the result of tension. [...]

[...] You end up with organs composed of literally unnumbered individual cells, in which case the same combination with its resulting benefits for the individual, also results in the formation of a larger consciousness.

It would seem, therefore, that what you call consciousness might be the result of this combination. That is, it would seem that self-consciousness was the result of this combination. [...]

[...] You will see why, although the conscious human being may seem to be the result of this combination and recombination, he is, nevertheless, more than that result. [...]

Framework 1 deals with predictable behavior, predictable results, and dislikes surprises. [...] You forgot ideas of being practical in terms of Framework 1, and as a result of course your creativity became highly practical, and in the most profound terms.

[...] He did not see, however, the difference in his approach to those concerns—and in that difference lies the difference in results.

To Ruburt that is taken for granted—for there he operates extraordinarily well, mixing and merging the realities of Frameworks 1 and 2. The practical results of course appear in Framework 1, while the real creativity takes place in Framework 2. Understand that I make these divisions for simplicity’s sake, for the realities are merged. [...]

The energy, that propelling supportive energy, used in out-of- body projections, will give astounding results. [...] Used in a projection, the same intensity of energy would allow results that could be proven without doubt, and accepted without reservation.

(When Bill, Don and I first tried tipping the table on October 7 we faked the results; this led to some rather vehement reactions on the part of the three women. Later in the evening we obtained legitimate results with the table; during one of these experiments the table told us that the communicator was Don Wilbur’s grandfather.)

[...] The same amount of energy focused in an out-of-body experience would have resulted in some venture indeed. [...]

It may seem that results did not show (they didn’t) but Ruburt’s notebook clearly outlines various points of progress during that time. With the change in your way of life now, and the physical way of handling problems—getting them out into the open—the suggestions will have better results than they did before.

[...] These are highly important, and there were results, now, when you worked with them steadily.

[...] This has resulted to his adding more to your evening meals. [...]

[...] It is extremely important that you understand this fact, and realize that the individual cells, for example, lose no individuality in this process, and gain immeasurably, the whole physical structure of the body being the result of this cooperation of cells which are themselves the result of the cooperation of atoms and molecules.

The cause and effect theory, as I have stated, is a result of your ideas of time. As long as you persist in thinking in terms of past, present and future, then the cause and effect theory is a logical and seemingly infallible result. [...]

[...] Any results or so-called demonstrations will be the result of training, study, discipline and exercises.

[...] His freedom, earned, has been bringing results financially and creatively in work areas. It has resulted in a greater freedom in our sessions because the two of you together discussed your conscious beliefs about sessions, and Ruburt learned that many of his previous beliefs here were limited.

[...] If you had been more intimately connected with Ruburt’s classes, the same hassle would have resulted. [...]

[...] As a result I’ve stopped reading the New York City papers at least, and have noticed a definite improvement. [...]

(Seth then returned to say something about a summer [which year?] when our tactics resulted in Jane’s improvement.)

When you followed that procedure results appeared.

One particular summer you each made joint effort at the kind of encouragement of which I am speaking, and you got definite results. [...]

[...] Any appearance of enclosure is the result of camouflage distortions, quite necessary within a given system so that the organisms within it can focus their main attentions to the problems within a particular system.

[...] A closed system is, in other words, the result of the limitations of the outward senses, whose nature it is to distinguish as a meaningful reality only one portion of an open infinite system.

[...] Their attention is completely focused within the imaginary room, with the result that all their concepts are based upon that belief.

[...] Hence a continuing sense of upset results. This is also the result of so double-checking impulses that few of them are followed through. As a result no clear-cut decisions are made, and the feeling of being off balance ensues.

The effort made in any creative change would be nothing compared to the constant feeling of unease that could result simply from a fear of change. [...] Great damage can result however by projecting such feelings of time waste into the future.

[...] There are natural results, activations of hormones, quite necessary, that are released at such times that greatly benefit the system. [...]

[...] [No results in yet of blood tests taken a week ago at St. Joe’s. Tests sent to Rochester.] Jane got more and more depressed and scared as Dr. K. talked, I could see it, in spite of suggestions we’d agreed on before her visit. [...] Dr. K. wants Dr. Sobel from Ithaca to examine Jane Friday even if blood tests aren’t in yet: “I can give him the results over the phone later.” I wanted to postpone visit to emergency room “till test results were in,” but Dr. S. won’t be at St. Joe’s next week. [...] Dr. K. told us Jane wouldn’t feel any results from the 100 mcg Synthroid tablets she started on last Monday for a long time—that the effects from the increased dosage were “weeks away.” [...]

[...] I mentioned at the time that maybe she could do some dictation this morning about her new insights, and this session is the result. [...]

[...] No blood test results had really come through yet (from St. Joe’s last week). [...]

You may have to experiment some for the proper wording of your message, but three days at the very least are necessary before you can tell, through results, how effective it has been. [...] You may experience spectacular results at once. [...]

Your reality is the result of a hallucination, if by this you mean that it is only the picture shown by your senses. [...]

Each of you will find habitual thought patterns in your own life backed up by resulting action — conditioned behavior as it were — by which you continually reinforce negative aspects, concentrate upon them to the exclusion of conflicting data, and so bring them into experience through natural hypnosis.
