[...] anyhow, he did a terrific session then on the Sinful Self.... [...]

[...] The statements of the Sinful Self show him clearly the reasons why he was afraid of pursuing the unknown, and afraid therefore of using his own natural abilities freely and safely. [...]

[...] Realized I was in bed, in a particular position and making certain motions that were self-conflicting, leading to the discomfort; and that I was in this position because I thought I’d done something wrong that somehow necessitated the position. [...]

[...] He is beginning to understand the validity of the self, and therefore is freer to use his power, realizing that it is a strength and not weakness.

[...] The senses are indeed often used by the inner self as a constant method of acquainting it with circumstances pertinent to the survival and interests of the physical body, but the inner self is not entirely dependent on them for its entire data by any means. [...]

The self does not remain as permanently attached to the physical body as you imagine, during physical existence.

The ego is much more dependent upon the physical self than are other portions of the personality. [...]

[...] In other cases the experience is simply not recorded in any way within the physical organism, but it is recorded to deeper layers of the self that are divorced to a large degree from any physical manipulations.

The same year I painted my self-portrait, I painted Jane as I saw her in my dream of March 10, 1987. [...]

Robert F. Butts (1919 -): Self-portrait. 1987. [...]

[...] Ruburt, so sensitive to your moods, and being self-conditioned to some extent himself negatively, reacted. [...]

[...] You felt some self-punishment, denying yourself the trip to make up for what you felt you might have done for her in the past.

[...] Ruburt does also in his writing, for he then becomes another self who watches the creative self. [...]

[...] At the same time he often feels the need to stand apart from life, from the fleeting thoughts, the daffodils or the insight, so that he will not be lost completely in the moment, but able to form almost a second self with a larger viewpoint, who can then more clearly examine and understand the thought, the moment, or the insight.

[...] He forgot, once again, that the creative self is aware of his entire life, and that his impulses have a creative purpose. [...]

[...] He is more consciously aware of what he is doing, so that he does not fall, for example, into self-pity so often, or feelings of hopelessness, but instead stops. [...]

[...] It recognizes its identity as a part of, underlined, the inner self. Therefore basically it has no need to fight the inner self, since it knows its survival is dependent upon this inner framework.

In other words, portions of the inner self have joined the strictly egotistical functions. [...] It joins with portions of the inner self previously unconscious, and illuminates the whole personality. [...]

[...] The ego has accepted the goals of the inner self. [...]

[...] (don’t know how to explain this either but my ‘astral self’ was thinking this. [...]

Now we shall put this plainly, for his ego has indeed distrusted his intuitional self, and has been jealous of it. [...]

[...] As a whole personality now, Ruburt has found himself operating at prime efficiency in several late incidents, when the ego and intuitive self have worked in harmony. [...]

Now, all of you in this room know but a small portion of your whole inner self. This inner self of yours, however, knows you well and guides your actions whether or not you intellectually realize its presence. [...]

To understand what the larger self is, you must try to imagine yourself in an environment that is not physical... [...]

[...] You can take a step out of the self that you think you are and the world that you think you inhabit. [...]

[...] Both contain information about suicide, and were given after we heard about the self-inflicted death of a young friend of ours. [...]

[...] Alterations of consciousness, or attempts on the part of the individual to explore the inner self, may then easily display glimpses of a kind of sexuality that can appear to be deviant or unnatural.

[...] It fits the me of me, the personality most clearly approximating the whole self I am, or am trying to be. Joseph is your whole self more or less, the image of the sum of your various personalities in the past and in the future.

[...] It is only because you are so busily concerned with daily matters that you do not realize that there is a portion of you who knows that its own powers are far superior to those shown by the ordinary self.

[...] I hope that this book will serve to release the deeply intuitive self within each of my readers, and to bring to the foreground of consciousness whatever particular insights will serve you most.

[...] As a species you have grown “ego bound” instead, held in a spiritual rigidity, with the intuitive portions of the self either denied or distorted beyond any recognition.

You must realize that the inner portions of the self are aware of the greater framework in which individuality takes place. [...]

[...] They were dropped into the water, the realm of Ruburt’s fears, by a young man who represented an earlier self who thought success was a male prerogative. [...]

[...] The part of the self responsible for the fears was the part that thought success a male prerogative, so that the woman had to exert extra discipline. [...]

[...] Checking with Tom Hartley’s wife after the party, Jane learned for sure that Pete Tomoski does wear a toupee, being self-conscious of his baldness because he is a barber... [...]

[...] These have resulted in necessary insights on his part that will themselves cause the release of energy from the inner self. [...]

The next chapter will deal with the eternal validity of dreams as gateways into these other realities, and as open areas through which the inner self glimpses the many facets of its experience, and communicates with other levels of its reality.
