“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It originates instead in the energy of the entity and inner self, and is directed by means of the inner senses, outward so to speak, through the deeper layers of the individual subconscious mind, then through the outer or personal layers.

[...] The closed and dangerous subconscious is that one which is closed both to inner depths of inspiration arising from the inner self, and also to outer doors of expression.

[...] My name for him is Ruburt, which happens to be a male name simply because the name is the closest translation, in your terms, for the name of the whole self or entity, of which he is now a self-conscious part.

We will, indeed, return to our discussion of the inner senses. [...]

[...] This is possible, feasible, since you are all portions, in our analogy, of this same inner self who maintains all of the rooms. While each of you are egotistically focused within your own reality, the deeper layers of the self are aware of the quote “family” relationship. [...]

[...] On our rather bulky analogy the guests are all portions of the inner self, who is the unseen attendant who maintains the building.

There is another portion of your whole inner self, another more advanced. [...]

You should see him visually either entirely objectified, or in an unusually vivid inner image. But more than this there should be an inner word communication between you that will actually be of telepathic origin. [...]

I am talking in terms of the self within the self within the self...the self that watches the self... the conscious alert self of which your present conscious mind is but a shadow. [...]

[...] That recording, to some extent, maligns the subconscious and the inner self. [...]

[...] Now, the whole self is composed, to use this analogy, of the entire eight channels. [...] The whole self, however, is aware of the entire eight channels and is able to keep track of them. [...]

[...] The inner senses are the portion of you that can be used with confidence to perceive these other realities. Now you should reread the material on the inner senses and all of you should learn what they are and how to use them!

[...] Remind him, for the 100th time, that he can trust his inner self implicitly, and does not need to set up guards against its spontaneity, for spontaneity is his life, and the source of his creativity; and underline that sentence.

[...] Tell him that the inner self has its own system of checks and balances. [...]

[...] When this occurs and he sees himself for example running, to some extent this makes the mental image of a nonrunning self less vivid. [...] And the will, now, can be used to initiate a series of actions that will be spontaneous; and the motions now, the physical motions, in turn set up mental images of spontaneity that become self-generating. [...]

It is true, again, that an initial corresponding inner freedom makes the motion possible, and that the motion itself already means that the mental image of new motion is replacing the old one. The physical motion is obviously the materialization of inner willingness, but you must also set up the opportunity for this to happen. [...]

In physical existence a certain portion of the inner self’s electromagnetic properties are used by the physical structure of the body. Subtle changes occur in the body when the inner self projects. [...] The electromagnetic properties simply revert to their original source with the inner self, and are no longer utilized in the construction of a corporeal image.

[...] You will realize that your physical self is sleeping, or in a dream state, and that the inner self is fully awake. Now this represents a definite increase in the scope of consciousness, and a considerable expansion over the usual limitations set by you upon the self.

Electromagnetic reality belongs to the inner self. [...]

You are operating at a rather high level of awareness, and you are using inner senses. [...]

[...] There is a constant interchange going on between what you think of as your present self and what you think of as your past self and what you may think of as your future self. And if this were not the case, then I would not be speaking here for I am not Ruburt’s past self. [...]

[...] I am no poet but then thinking of one of Ruburt’s poems, then think of the brain, indeed, as a web you form about the inner self. [...]

I want you to understand the nature of your inner self or, for your friend over here (to Joel Hess) the nature of your soul, for it is a focal point of reality from which other realities spring and not imprisoned in tiny boxes of days or weeks or months, or even of centuries. [...]

[...] You will learn them through listening to your own inner self. [...]

[...] These are in some respects a different sort of camouflage, a self-formed, artificial and only partial enclosure, a beneficial psychic device within which the inner self momentarily and temporarily gathers and holds and collects as much psychic energy about it as it is capable of receiving, utilizing, and also withstanding. The mental enclosure in most cases is self-limiting then, since it represents a setting up of barriers on all sides but one. [...]

The side which is open allows free flow of energy from the inner self, but momentarily the outlet for this energy is blocked up. [...]

It is the ability of such a unit of consciousness to utilize or create other forms and dimensions of itself that regulates the dimensions of the mental enclosure and of the effective self. You understand that about this mental or psychic enclosure the other elements of self are constructed, the physical image and its extensions into physical environment. [...]

She would have been helped, and I could have shocked her into dispensing with her self-pity. [...]

The ego however is not an afterthought disconnected from the whole self, and when the intellect becomes aware of data given to it by the intuitions or the inner self, it is then capable of informing the ego, which then changes its attitude accordingly. This way we are assured of the cooperation of the whole self, and avoid any possibility of splitting one self, one part of the self, against another.

[...] We are attempting to work in such a manner that added knowledge from the intuitional inner self is also made known to the intellect.

He spoke of the undiscovered man in terms of the whole self, whose abilities are so little known, and this is precisely what we are here attempting to bring to light: the vast areas within the self which have been left undiscovered and unknown.

[...] From the beginning of our sessions you have been learning the method with which we will explore the whole self, but we have not plunged headlong into any foolhardy expeditions.

The steps given in the book for activating the aid of the inner self are excellent. [...]

[...] Using the pendulum each day since then, I have been surprised to note a rapid change in some inner attitudes. [...]

Much of the inner meaning would not have registered. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The part of the self who considered the symptoms necessary, you see, has realized they are no longer necessary, but still some habit persists.

These constructions exist definitely in terms of atomic structure, but of such different densities and speeds that you are unaware of them though they are perceived by the inner senses, and utilized by the subconscious and inner self as a very important reality.

Actually it can be said that since the self creates its environment, then the environment is an extension of the self. [...]

The healthy physical body, therefore, is eloquent testimony of inner balance. And in all cases of illness, the inner cause must be uncovered; not only uncovered intellectually, but understood intuitively if recovery is to take place.

[...] When I speak of environment I include for simplicity’s sake that which is close to the self in its nebulous form, but which is still called notself.

Therefore I invite you to forget the bodies that you know, to set your inner selves free. [...] And I ask you to open your inner eyes, and I ask you to look around at the inner world in which you also have your existence. I ask you to sense within yourselves the energy in this voice that you hear, to realize that this energy is also a portion of your own energy—the energy of individuality, the energy of the universe, the energy that grows you from a fetus to the self that you know. [...]

All I said was that I had been with you in many of your endeavors, when you were alone at home and when your inner self went traveling. [...]

[...] Your self is not a closed door. The inner portion of you is open. [...]

[...] Besides the outer senses that you take for granted, you have inner senses. [...] You must learn how to use, develop and recognize these inner senses. [...]

The inner self is aware of all of your existences, in other words. [...] It is only because you are so oriented outward from birth that this inner self can sometimes seem alien or distant and unrelated to the self that you know. [...]

[...] The inner knowledge of all of your lives, from your point of view, is in the same category as those automatic processes that underlie your existence.

[...] It should be helpful, and certainly somewhat comforting, to realize that even unfortunate birth conditions were not forced upon you by some outside agency, but chosen at inner levels of your own reality.

[...] There is awareness here of the inner self, but the main energy is knotted in tensions and exhaustions. [...]

The knot, or the main concentration of focus, in ego concern, prevents true refreshment, either through the inner self or from the outer world. [...]

In general in the present, the personality should relate firmly with outer reality, and also come to grips with the whole self. There should be moderation, but a moderation that allows for spontaneity and a disciplined program of inner evaluations. [...]

[...] It is not apart from your so-called physical universe, for the dream universe, through its connection with the inner self, also helps to construct physical matter—and this is no trifling matter.

[...] You use them more efficiently, and for the purposes of the inner self. You begin to create physical matter so that it does indeed reflect the inner self, and in so doing, you effect changes that are noticed by others and serve as an example.

The self, the whole self, the entity, that is your true self, does indeed exist now. [...] It is true that in one sense you have never left this self. [...]

[...] Nevertheless the ego is a part of the self. We are acquainting it with other portions of the self. [...] Properly trained and intuitively governed this portion of the self can be of benefit in survival circumstances.

[...] There is every reason to explore inner reality, but this exploration should lead you to understand the nature of physical reality also. [...]

[...] Philip insists, in a rather cocky manner, in taking his own inner integrity along. Your other friend cannot, so far, relate the inner and the outer selves. He can relate to the inner self or the outer self, but he has not learned to unite the two, nor allowed for any understanding or communication between them.

In all cases that I know of, these women are indeed neurotic and misled and self-deluded. [...] They are well-meaning, and occasionally they are able to use their inner abilities.

[...] The inner self has not so far recognized this other portion of the personality. [...]

[...] But he will not admit that he enjoys it to his own inner self. [...]

[...] Now feel the inner self remedy the condition.” [...] Give your inner self a chance.” [...]

Your trip (Sunday, April 13; we drove to Cortland, NY) was beneficial, but it was impeded by negative thoughts of Ruburt’s, and also to some degree by the fact that you pointed out his symptoms without reminding him that the inner self could and would minimize them. [...]

[...] Remember your inner self is helping you relax, and be flexible.” [...]

[...] Be alert to the inner voice, so that if this is the case you will hear. [...]

[...] For I must tell you again, and I cannot tell you too often, that the inner self, acting spontaneously, automatically shows the discipline that you do not as yet understand. [...]

[...] And yet all of this rests upon the spontaneous workings of the inner self and the nervous system of which the intellect knows little. [...]

[...] My Dean, the spontaneous self that you so fear is the self that speaks to Bega. Then it is not a self that you have to fear. [...]

You do not trust your inner selves sufficiently, nor the knowledge that you have within you. [...]

Now this sense, like all other inner senses, is being used by the inner self-conscious ego, but the outer ego is not permitted awareness along these lines. A minimum amount of information from these inner senses is given to the outer ego after it is sifted through the subconscious. [...]

[...] Without this sixth sense, and without its constant use by the inner self-conscious ego, you could not even construct the physical camouflage universe of your own plane. [...]

You will, as I have said before, benefit through the quiet exercise of your inner senses. [...] Such use of the inner senses will also be of benefit to both of you in these sessions, and will add dimension to them in a manner with which you are as yet unfamiliar.

The fifth inner sense carries us further along in this direction, and involves what I will call cognition of the knowledgeable essence. This sense differs from the fourth inner sense in that it does not involve the cognition of a concept.

[...] The physical image is indeed a replica in many ways of the inner self. [...] He is ill often—always in fact—because of a distortion that is occurring within the self, and materialized in physical form.

[...] In projections the inner self is free to travel within its capabilities—underlined, within its capabilities.

The symbolic journey of the spirit, and the finding finally of the self always involves the journey of the self through fear, and its emergence. [...]

[...] The immobility showed itself physically in faithful replica to the inner immobilization caused by fear. [...]

Now, the inner self knows the answers and often- times the inner self brings you to this error, this action, or this symptom, so that you will look inward. [...]

[...] They have their own business to attend to and their own reality to meet and their own challenges to accept, but, they are coming to you so that you will be aware of their continued existence; and also so that you will be aware of the nature of your own inner self which is as free of your physical body now as they are. [...]

[...] It is very important to understand the nature of your own inner self and symbolism behind action. [...]

(To Ned.) I was in your last experience as a probable self of my own and you did not recognize me, but that is all right and I will not hold it against you. [...]
