Hi All,

I just saw this for the very first time and thought I'd share this information. This comes from the book, "Dreams Evolution and Value Fulfillment", Volume 1, Chapter 3, Session 891, and this is a list of New Years resolutions that Seth gave to Jane and Rob, on Jan. 1, 1979.

I'm not usually interested in New Year's resolutions, however, these 4 seem to be pretty good suggestions for reminders of how to view things.



"One: I will approve of myself, my characteristics, my abilities, my likes and dislikes, my inclinations and disinclinations, realizing that these form my unique individuality. They are given me for a reason.

"Two: I will approve of and rejoice in my accomplishments, and I will be as vigorous in listing these—as rigorous in remembering them—as I have ever been in remembering and enumerating my failures or lacks of accomplishment.

"Three: I will remember the creative framework of existence, in which I have my being. Therefore the possibilities, potentials, seeming miracles, and joyful spontaneity of Framework 2 will be in my mind, so that the doors to creative living are open.

"Four: I will realize that the future is a probability. In terms of ordinary experience, nothing exists there yet. It is virgin territory, planted by my feelings and thoughts in the present. Therefore I will plant accomplishments and successes, and I will do this by remembering that nothing can exist in the future that I do not want to be there."

Yes, these were great suggestions from Seth. I think Lynda Dahl would email them out every New Years from her Seth International website. We should make them Every Day Resolutions, I for one could use the constant reminder. My favorite might be the first one, because "these form my unique individuality. They are given me for a reason." I do have to always remind myself of this one point, we have been raised in a critical society that sets impossible standards and judgments of who we should be, what we should do, what we should look like.

What do you think, should I make these a permanent fixture under Important Information?

Hi Deb,

In your previous post, you asked,

"What do you think, should I make these a permanent fixture under Important Information?"


I would be very much OK with that.


I really like these 4 points, but not personally as New Year's Resolutions, but instead, as personal daily confirmations. Sort of like something Louise Hay would say to repeat to yourself.  :)
