Some of the basic shapes in your physical universe are, therefore, reflections of these inner psychological structures, more or less reproduced in matter. These are in one sense certainly tangible to the inner self. It is these inner psychological structure patterns to a large degree that determine the shape and form of physical structures.

The subconscious merely is aware of, and operates within, a very valid psychological perspective, with which the so-called conscious self is not familiar. Before physical construction can occur therefore, psychological perception, manipulation and construction of inner data or inner structures must be performed.

[...] The inner senses represent such psychological structures. [...]

[...] He grapples with, and manipulates and juggles these inner psychological shapes before constructing them, his version of them, into physical form.

You are opening up channels to the inner self and, hence, hopefully beyond. [...]

[...] Be lucky and thankful that the inner self does not have these hang-ups. [...]

(To Mack.) First of all, you are protecting the inner self very well and you have a protective attitude toward it which is good. [...]

(To Mary Ellen.) You knew what the message would be before you came here on a subconscious basis and Ruburt, all unaware, has already delivered it to you, and it was in his terms to cool it because spontaneity must progress at its own rate and feel comfortable in both physical reality and inner reality. You are not to go into inner reality like a door to a closet, and close the door behind you. [...]

[...] His inner self-image is changing. [...]

[...] These characteristics were necessary in the situation as given, until Ruburt learned the nature of the self, and could begin to trust it. With the belief that he can trust the self, the creative self, the other characteristics become unnecessary, for you cannot force creativity.

[...] In so doing he reinforces a sense of power over both inner habits and the physical environment.

[...] This should not be thought of as a bargaining with the self, or as an obsession, but instead as a practical method of dealing with a present set of conditions. [...]

[...] He did not give much, but he gave, and he gave because any religion must pay tribute to the inner knowledge of the self and the true inner knowledge does not come in through the front door. [...]

[...] In your case you used religious terms in which to couch it and ease the inner self. [...]

[...] Now that is also an important element of the dream, you were not content, you see, to stay within the environment and you did feel an inner terror to be so imprisoned. [...]

[...] It was an advantage that you remembered the dream consciously for this inner sense implies a strong advancement on your part. [...]

[...] Now it is possible, you see, and you are trying to bring what you think of as your conscious self into some awareness of what these other portions of the inner self are up to so, supposing we call your presently conscious self your immediate self. [...] Now the immediate self can indeed become aware of other portions of your own reality, and it is up to you to bring it into line. [...] You may not be able to translate the experience clearly, but you may be able to translate it capably enough so that you realize, so that the immediate self realizes, that it is indeed a part of other experiences. [...]

[...] It is what I have given you now, however, and I fear that like our friend, Instream, unless you change you will be looking for proofs that mean nothing and ignoring the inner reality that is all important and closing your mind to inner validity that alone will give you the kind of proofs that you require. [...]

[...] Without strong subjective proof of your own, without the full ability to travel inward and the doorways to inner knowledge closed until you receive the kind of proof that you are after. [...]

“But beyond that self there is another self and still another self of which I am fully aware. And to that self, physical reality is like a breath of smoke in air … and that self does not need the characteristics that you know and think of as mine.”

“Although this type of experience may seem cold to you, it is a clear and crystal-like existence in which no time is needed for experience … in which the inner self condenses all human knowledge that has been received through various existences and reincarnations … for all this has been coded and exists indelibly. [...]

[...] “The laws of the inner universe [which had been given to us by Seth] are not laws in some book. They are attempts to explain in words the nature of inner reality. [...]

“The Inner Senses, to some extent, will allow you to perceive the reality of inner existence, and in this new development Ruburt is using these in a more effective manner than before. [...]

That inner, all-pervasive existence becomes known to the extent that you grow more responsive to your own inner environment. This does not mean that you become entirely self-centered, blind to the rest of the world. [...] They are as much a part of your inner environment as trees are of your exterior world. [...]

[...] You are meant to realize that it is a materialization of your thoughts and feelings and images, that the inner self forms that world. [...]

You shut them off any time they do not conform to current beliefs about the nature of the self, or about reality in general. [...]

[...] This has been carried to an extreme, you see: Often you are so disconnected from those inner workings that your own decisions then appear to come from someplace else. [...]

[...] The birth of the inner self. [...]

But (to Ned) never look forward to listening to anyone above listening to your own inner self. [...]

[...] When you are working with your consciousness, as you did this evening, you become aware of the inner symbols in your own mind. [...]

I want all of you to become aware of this inner mobility of consciousness. [...]

“With disentanglement,” Seth stated in the 43rd session, “the inner self disengages itself from one particular camouflage before it either adopts another set smoothly or dispenses with camouflage entirely. This is accomplished through what you might call a changing of frequencies or vibrations … In some ways, your dream world gives you a closer experience with basic inner reality than does your waking world, where the inner senses are so shielded from your awareness.”

[...] The inner work that makes it possible is largely done in the sleep state. [...] Cellular comprehension is not tuned into by the normally conscious self, which is equally unaware of its own free-wheeling nature at “higher” levels. [...]

[...] Privately, then, much of your inner life escapes you. [...] These, while important, are the result of your own inner world of activity. That inner world is your only real connection with the exterior events, and the objective details make sense only because of the subjectivity that gave them birth.⁶

5. “Disentanglement” immediately reminded me of the inner senses — those qualities and abilities which the personality uses to apprehend its physical (or camouflage) world. Seth began describing the inner senses early in 1964. [...] Jane devoted Chapter 19 of The Seth Material to the inner senses.

[...] Always, however, there was the undeniable inner self in the background: man’s dreams, his biological and spiritual integrity, and these in one way or another were always before him.

In your probability you did allow the inner self some freedom. [...]

[...] All probabilities spring from inner reality, from the psyche’s own inner activity and structure. [...]

(Intently:) I am saying that the individual self must become consciously aware of far more reality; that it must allow its recognition of identity to expand so that it includes previously unconscious knowledge. To do this you must understand, again, that man must move beyond the concepts of one god, one self, one body, one world, as these ideas are currently understood.⁵ You are now poised, in your terms, upon a threshold from which the race can go many ways. [...]

[...] I am here, and because I am here I tell you that your own inner self does continue to exist, and as I teach others now, so shall you also be witnesses of the existence of All That Is. [...]

[...] Instead, we have the realization of some inner difficulty. [...]

[...] Be still and listen to your inner voice. [...]

(“The inner portion of your being, using those abilities that have always been yours, interpreted the information through the kaleidoscope of your own being, using the best portions of yourself — producing, then, a brilliant truth in new clothes — but in clothes that no one could have given it but yourself. Now I will tell you: If you assign the authorship of Seagull to another, then you deny the uniqueness of your own inner self.

(“The truth came to you and was given to you, but the originality and uniqueness was provided by your own inner being, which may now be so separated from your conscious self that it seems to be apart from it.

(“So other things were also involved — not only the birth of a book, but the emergence of the inner self, through art, into the physical universe. [...]

[...] If you read this, find such an idea in yourself and then say, “l cannot throw this idea away,” then you must realize that your inner remark is in itself a belief. [...]

[...] Basically the names and dates are meaningless to the inner self. [...]

[...] You insist that the names be neatly placed, and yet often the inner self has great difficulty in this regard, for names simply do not matter. [...]

[...] There may be great temperamental differences in some cases, between your personality in one given life and another — so that your present self simply could not relate to the other’s experience.

[...] In your terms, a reincarnational self can be aware of your environment, and interact sometimes through your own relationships.

[...] The inner self therefore creates the physical body and the land upon which it moves.

The physical with its multitudinous and astonishing complexity, merely hints at the full nature of inner reality however, for all of inner reality cannot be translated in physical terms. [...] It constantly reflects in its own way the nature of your inner environment. [...]

The immediate physical environment of your own apartment, for example, is the result of continual inner processes with which you are not acquainted. The existence, maintenance, and appearance of that environment depends upon inner manipulations and automatic transfers that are as natural and as necessary to your existence physically, as breath.

Each minute variation of physical matter that you perceive is caused by inner minute variations that you do not perceive. Each insignificant shading of color, change in texture, in degree or kind, are directly caused by corresponding inner differences.

[...] It is an order that the inner self is to learn. [...]

[...] Concentration upon physical data takes the conscious mind off for a trip, and it gives the inner self greater freedom to initiate new developments and intuitional creations. [...]

[...] The self allows itself to change while retaining knowledge that it is the self who changes. [...]

The self that stabbed you in the back was the self negatively (underlined)developed in this life’s early existence. [...]

[...] The time you seem to spend within the dream, within each life, is only an illusion, and to the inner self no moment has passed, and to the inner self there is no time. [...]

[...] But there is a part of you that is not imprisoned within three-dimensional reality, and that part of you knows that there is no time, that there is only an eternal now; and that part of you that knows is the whole self, the inner personality that knows all of your lives. [...]

[...] You are ready now to embark upon the inner roads of your own existence. [...]

[...] The crisis occurred at 2:30 that morning, when Miss Callahan awakened, momentarily completely naked of ego, face to face with the subconscious, and sensing the inner self within.

It was a moment of momentary (underlined) terror, as the ego realized that what it fought against and what it would continue, though ineffectually, to fight against, was indeed no enemy to it but a most familiar omnipresent inner self, against which it was now powerless. [...]

Much other energy however, while observing certain inner rules, is not so directed and can be brought under the dominance therefore of purposeful directed gestalts. This of course occurs nevertheless on a subconscious level, representing a spilling over of emotional and psychic energy from self into what is usually considered notself; and there are, constantly, effects that happen, a flowing back and forth of energy in this way.

[...] The restlessness which was apparent in Miss Callahan’s behavior when Ruburt saw her, was but a small tangible evidence of the inner crisis. [...]

[...] You must become more aware of your inner selves.... [...] a cellar door to your mind—to your inner self. [...]

[...] step outside of the self that you know—and you will solve your difficulties! [...]

[...] If you still do not realize that you create the reality that you know, then you return and again you learn to manipulate and again and again you see the results of your own inner reality as you meet it objectified. [...]

You must try to forget for a period of time each day the self that you think of as yourself ... [...]

You must become more aware of your inner selves—they are not all that horrible. You still fear, as our Lady of Florence, that there is a cellar door—a cellar door to your mind—to your inner self. [...]

[...] Open up the barriers in your daily lives—step outside of the self that you know—and you will solve your difficulties! [...]

[...] If you still do not realize that you create the reality that you know, then you return and again you learn to manipulate and again and again you see the results of your own inner reality as you meet it objectified. [...]

You must try to forget for a period of time each day the self that you think of as yourself the adult pretensions, the adult bignesses. [...]

[...] I should mention first however that the inner self is always free of whatever camouflage structure it may presently inhabit.

[...] Any conceivable method of perceptions is possible to the inner self, latent within it. [...]

The brain however often does not see the inner logic of the emotion’s reoccurrence, or the inner connections that make it again pertinent. [...]

[...] Such contact therefore would always take place beneath so-called normal perception, and even then you would have to translate this inner perception, as you do any into terms you could understand as physical creatures.
