“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your emotional feelings are, as you know, the inner senses as they appear close to the physical plane. [...] You form in your own personal perspective the data that exists within the inner self, but you do this on an individual basis in line with your own expectations, suggestions and attitudes.

[...] He will cause the return of symptoms, if he does not seriously take steps to assure his inner self of his intention. [...]

Actually, you consider action which seems to be at least partially self-directive as living matter. [...] It should go without saying that all action is indeed self-directed action to some degree, and therefore should be termed as living matter.

Suggestion is no more and no less than an inner willingness and consent, to allow a particular action to occur; and this consent is the trigger which sets off the subconscious mechanisms that allow you to construct inner data into physical reality.

[...] And that is why you have given yourself a traffic ticket now and then, What you are learning is a technique for self-development. You cannot use it, therefore, to attain those things that do not pertain to your own self-development and the techniques will not help you get something that you were not meant to have nor that you have before decided as an entity that you should not have. [...] Nevertheless, the facts remain that your own inner self and your own entity have given you challenges that you have accepted. [...] But what is important is the inner development. [...] There must always be the acknowledgement that you do not consciously as yet realize the depths of yourself, the goals you have set and the challenges, and this material should be used to open up your inner horizons and to lead you in those directions toward which your inner self has already set you. If you then egotistically, say—No—this particular situation is what I want, then you may be blocking the inner direction which has been meant for you. [...] But the inner attitude is far more important. [...]

[...] No man can possibly be as godlike as your inner conception. [...] Your terror as a child gave you an inner idea of reality and family group whereby you saw yourself completely powerless and helpless under the domination of this father figure. [...]

[...] It has given you an innate, an intuitive feel toward inner reality. [...]

Both of you to this point have inner problems that prevent you from entering into marriage. [...]

[...] This is obviously impossible for the physical camouflaged self, but it is not impossible for the inner self, which as you know has its own electrical reality, which is again composed of particular impulses and intensities.

Once more, your own inner psychological experiences, and the inner life of every individual, can lead you to some understanding along these lines. [...]

I have said that the electrical universe is, again, a materialization of a sort of inner vitality, of which everything is composed. [...]

[...] And the spiritual isolation that you feel is a reminder of the inner self that only enters into concourse with the flesh but is of itself independent and knows its origin and remembers even through the eons the miraculous exaltation and agony of recognition that the flesh knows. [...]

Now you all want to do fine and mighty spiritual things and many of you, as much as possible, want to do these things without facing the self that you know. And in order to have a good framework you must begin with the self that you know, and you must not ignore feelings or emotions, and you must not decide which feelings or emotions you will accept and which you will reject. [...]

[...] Now ask yourself some further questions about the answer that you have given and whether or not you truly accept it, using the knowledge from the whole self that is now becoming available to you. [...]

[...] And in one you would have devoted your existence to studying the inner nature of reality. [...]

Dictation: Let us go on to discuss the relationship between the inner self, your conscious beliefs, and your most intimate physical creation — your human image.

[...] The ego is now under the control of what may be loosely called the inner self. [...]

[...] The survival personality’s inner self gives this reassembled ego concepts in the same way that, often, the subconscious gives the ego concepts in physical existence.

These levels of the self have known self-consciousness in other existences, before the present one. [...]

[...] The ego is not the most powerful or the most knowledgeable portion of the self. [...]

[...] What most artists do not realize is that the self is the first creation. [...] Because of Ruburt’s energy and creativity, he has always perfectly mirrored and even somewhat exaggerated the condition of the inner self, its activities and inner postures.

[...] Their reality cannot be probed by scientific devices, for dreams in this respect are as nebulous as the spirit, or soul, or inner self. [...]

[...] Dreams are an example of the inner self’s basically independent nature.

Quite simply, the self travels to levels of awareness, and to layers of the self that are far divorced from the physical areas of mobility. [...]

The eye movements noted in the beginning of REM sleep are only indications of dream activity that is closely connected to the physical layers of the self. [...]

[...] From the inner self and it is up to you to be free enough to understand this and use it. [...] You are to use your inner senses while you are in this room therefore. [...]

[...] Strength is respected, but true strength is the result of excellent communication between the outer self that faces the world, and the inner self that looks inward.

[...] Philip’s most personal inner image, the primary inner image, is of a single, free, independent male.

[...] You have not completely introduced your inner image, but only hinted at it, so that to her it is secondary and unreal, when she is faced by actual events in which you behave as the inner image, she is bewildered, confused, and imagines that you are demented.

I am glad that at least Ruburt seems merry, since Philip is obviously in such low inner spirits.

[...] The inner self is aware of this integrity of identity, but the ego focused so securely in physical reality cannot afford this luxury.

The word shambalina (spelled by Seth at my request) connotes the changing faces that the inner self adopts through its various experiences. [...]

[...] The feelings however are the tail end of inner cognizance, and we will use the sounds to carry us further and further into those inner landscapes where both objects and their representatives must finally desert us.

[...] Use of it however will allow you to more clearly perceived your own inner reality, your physical and psychic experience. You will no longer translate inner experience with the same automatic glibness into stereotyped verbal patterns of images, but will be far better able to experience it for itself.

[...] These will be the beginnings of somewhat more profound methods of working through the inner senses.

[...] Through projections you will become acquainted with the mobility and stability of the inner self, as separate from the physical apparatus.

You must still deal with physical reality, for it is definitely the representation of inner data. [...] Your physical condition in every way is a reflection of your inner expectations, accomplishments, and failures, and I have told you that any illness is the result of an inner distortion.

[...] In the middle of a projection you may suddenly remember the self on the bed, and in the middle of a given existence you may suddenly remember a previous self. [...]

Whenever you are attached in any way, whenever consciousness is attached to a physical organism, then inner data will be interpreted in physical terms. [...]

5. So far in Volume 2, I’ve mentioned the inner senses (as described by Seth) in Note 5 for Session 709, and Note 6 for Appendix 18. [...] It is concerned with the entity’s working knowledge of the basic vitality of the universe … Without this sixth sense and its constant use by the inner self, you could not construct the physical camouflage universe. [...]

[...] He was simultaneously himself here in this living room, watching the image of himself in a library room, and he was the self in the library. [...] Before him he saw a wall of books, and the self in the living room suddenly knew that his purpose here in this reality was to re-create some of those books. [...]

[...] Each person who passes the car is more than three-dimensional, super-real in this time, but part of a ‘model’ of a greater self … and each person’s reality is obviously and clearly more than three-dimensional. [...]

[...] I had no name for that other self. [...]

[...] They are fused however with your inner self. They are not physical, but they do exist in the whole package of the self, perhaps like the skins of an onion, you see. [...]

All projections involve literally an extension of identity and self. The usual limitations set upon the self by the ego vanish. [...]

[...] Note that I speak only now of projections in which you are self-consciously aware.

[...] In some dreams individuals see what they imagine to be the image of their own dead self. [...]

[...] The “boxcar” episode represented his living at one level of physical experience, even while he also existed as the giant-sized self that peered over the mountain top and watched his progress. An excellent portrayal — or portrait — of the infinite inner self watching and guiding the physical self’s existence.

Sue represents a certain portion of Ruburt — the writing self, signifying that the “psychic” portions of Ruburt’s personality were helping out the writing portions, and letting them share in the psychic knowledge and experience.

(“Does error enter in here on the part of the personality, or the inner self?”)

[...] This does not prevent the unmazed portion of the self from watching, giving helpful hints of a kind to ward off discouragement. [...]

[...] Now Ruburt’s ego had been hit over the head, so to speak, so many times in his childhood that it became very sensitive, developing a rigidity out of self-protection.

[...] Inside that framework he learned what was wrong with it, and from his experiences was born the strong inner, barely conscious, desire to help his fellow beings emerge into some kind of lucidity. [...]

You will in all cases attempt to construct as physical reality your inner conception of what reality is. [...] If the environment changes it is because your inner conceptions have changed, and no smallest alteration is made within physical reality, that has not first been made within the inner self.

Now I have told you time and time again, my friends, that you construct your physical universe and your private environment in line with your inner expectations, for they mirror perfectly the deepest areas of your own inner reality.

[...] The tumor was formed by inner concentration. [...]

All of these matters, you see, and many more, from the considerations of health and the formation of destructive ulcers and tumors, to the construction of any simple physical object, to the construction of an apparition—all of these are in one way or another connected with inner focus and concentration.

[...] On the other hand, the young Del was also a symbol for your own inner self, acting as a guide and companion.

[...] He also looked much younger and more self-possessed than I’d ever seen him be.

[...] He was redeemed in your mind, and appeared as his ideal self. [...]

[...] It is true that what becomes matter must be dealt with as matter, and yet the inner vitality and the inner self have their own ability to heal. [...]

[...] This will not mean much to his present personality on a conscious level, but the fact that the message was not delivered will mean much to the inner self, for that previous personality had set store by it.

The whole thing should be handled on a subconscious level, so that he seems to automatically prepare himself in advance in response to an inner knowledge as to whether or not witnesses will arrive. [...]

[...] It is sensitive however to panic and fear, and, affecting other glands working with inner subconscious mechanisms, it becomes overly stimulated and causes subconscious mechanisms to actually create, in matter, the object of the fears which have themselves caused the initial overaction.
