“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

To our friend over here, we have you still enjoying class and coming here most faithfully and with great determination we have you resisting looking into the inner self—and skimming along the edges of realization—delight ourselves with the outskirts of psychic experience [sic]. [...]

[...] You still need to find the self that you are. [...]

[...] It very willingly looks inward toward those areas of the inner self’s experience to see what it can find for its own use, quite like an explorer searching for resources in virgin territory.

[...] If you do not trust your waking self you will not trust your dreaming self, and the landscape of your dreams will appear threatening. [...]

[...] During them, the self or consciousness literally travels to the source of its own energy. [...]

[...] In this case, he said, Mrs. Brian had used him as a symbol of her inner self, or supraconsciousness, to deliver help and healing influences as well as advice. [...]

[...] When that point is reached, you will be able, if you prefer, to experience any ‘reality … illusion’ at your will, but the self who experiences these ‘reality … illusions’ will know itself as reality. [...]

“There can be no self-betrayal,” said Seth.

“But the idea of self-betrayal can lead to distortions.”

Space suits are therefore an inadequate, clumsy memory of an inner ability to clothe the inner self with whatever camouflage is at hand. [...]

They maintain their inner knowledge and integrity, and are born within any given system. [...]

[...] All of this follows inner patterns that are specifically human in your terms. [...]

This is a natural aspect, the self-protective principle that operates within earth life as you know it. [...]

The fact is that each individual lives many lives, and that the inner self is quite aware of its own spiritual and physical dexterity. [...]

[...] You are learning to use the inner self as you learn to use arms and legs. [...]

[...] Feelings of energy form the inner self were then allowed to bubble up and give you a sense of energy and a release from normal pressures. [...]

[...] The spontaneous self, left to itself, ideally is the answer. [...]

Left alone, the self and the body are so entwined that the separation would be smooth. The body would automatically follow the wishes of the inner self. In the case of suicide, for example, the self is to some extent acting out of context with the body, which still has its own will to live.

Give us a moment… Inner reality and private experience give birth to all mass events. [...]

[...] The self outgrows the flesh. [...]

[...] A self is not simply the accidental personification of the body’s biological mechanism. [...]

[...] The dream world exists more closely in that spacious present of which the inner self is so aware. [...]

[...] As an individual creates his physical image and environment according to his abilities and defects, and in line with his expectations and subconscious and inner needs, so does he create his dreams; and these interact with the outer environment which he has created.

[...] In other words, such a dream may begin to transform the physical environment through lifting inner expectation.

[...] Also another hard-to-describe feeling, one of an overall inner motion.

For the inner self can perceive it, and does change it. [...]

Some systems experience time exclusively in terms of probabilities, in which the self experiences a particular moment most thoroughly, where continuity is achieved not through a continuity of moments but a continuity of self, as it experiences all the various events that exist as probabilities for it in any given instant.

[...] The focus is indeed intense, but so limited in scope that it is relatively impossible for you to keep your attention upon the self except in the most inconsistent and fleeting of ways.

You no longer perceive the past, therefore you think that it has vanished, and the self that you were has gone. [...]

[...] The same thing in meditation—let your inner self play in your meditation and let your body play in your lovemaking.

[...] The fear under those circumstances of letting go, and yet the fear has to do with the deeper fear involving the nature of your own inner faith—thoughts, of course, of being annihilated, not however by the emotions of another, but by your own.

[...] When demands were made, however, you became either innerly resentful or rebellious.

[...] You use telepathy very well in discovering their feelings—you use your inner senses in perceiving their difficulties and intuitively you are aware of the problems and able to help them rise above them.

You wondered, really, if such a reality were possible, and if some people were really so blind—but the inner self provides certain safeguards, and the universe is a caring one, so that even those people are given some inner version. [...]

The painting itself, and any painting, rises out of the empty board through the force of your own emotions, and the board becomes the focal point that collects, draws together and directs the energy from your inner self, into form.

[...] If I read your inner intent correctly however, your prophet will dominate the background, and seem almost to come out of it. [...]

[...] Indeed, she was very upset over this, and quite serious in her feeling, as she later wrote in her new book, of being abandoned by her inner self. [...]

[...] According to Seth, a still-living probable self of Robert Butts, Sr., is “a well-known inventor, who never married but used his mechanically creative abilities to the fullest while avoiding emotional commitment.” Although my father’s “sole intent” was the very challenging one of raising a family in this reality, still he may have often exchanged ideas about automobiles, motorcycles, welding torches, cameras, and so forth, with that other inventor-self.

[...] But now I can return to my longer project — the 40 line drawings for Jane’s book of poetry, Dialogues of the Soul and Mortal Self in Time. [...]

[...] The libido knows itself as God, and therefore all fractions fly out of the self-structure of its own reality.”

[...] Our studies and any true expression of the inner self, should lead to a joyous encounter with reality and the everyday moment, out of which eternity is spun.

[...] Now after a bit I thought I had a quick inner picture of a group of men gathered about a church pulpit, somewhat in the distance. [...]

[...] All the ideas of the fear of the inner self come from the basic division that has for so long existed in the minds of man since the birth of organized religion... [...]

[...] I feel like I’m a giant to those little people, with this method of self-perception I’m using; now they’re back working under my knees.” [...]

The second dream is an excellent example of a therapeutic dream that results from self-suggestion. Ruburt requested a therapeutic dream from his inner self, and he received one.

[...] Not only has his inner self expanded, but his ego has become stronger, even while it has become more flexible. [...]

There are other constructions, quite as valid, which make little or no impression on the outer senses, but constructions with which the inner self is fairly familiar; and these so-called immaterial constructions exert a strong influence indirectly upon the world of physical construction.

We will of course tie this data in with our inner senses to a large degree, and there is much that I have not yet given you on the inner senses alone. The information on matter is a necessary preliminary to the understanding of other inner-sense information, and some of this will be given when I discuss your own experiences.

[...] Remember that the subconscious is at the outer end of the inner senses, and the inner senses create physical constructions. [...]

The main point, before I get sidetracked, that I was building up to, is that matter is action utilized by the inner senses and perceived by the outer senses.

Again, remind Ruburt to say now and then to himself that he can see clearly, that he can see his way clearly, knowing that the inner self has the clearest of vision, and that vision can be recreated physically. [...]

[...] Your conscious mind was fully taken up with your activities at the art department, giving the inner self full rein.

[...] I got out again fairly quickly, this time able to study the strange sensing involved in distinguishing between the astral self I wanted to sit up and the physical self I wanted to stay flat. [...]

[...] I tried not to be frightened and told myself that the intuitive self sensed something exciting going on, even if the ego was worried. [...]

It is because of this instantaneous creation and projection of inner reality outward into form that you experience time within the physical system — to train you, to give you time to learn to handle your own creations. [...]
