[...] The inner self exists in quite a different fashion than that seen by Dunne. For the inner self can indeed perceive events that will occur after physical death. [...] The inner self can perceive events that will occur to itself after physical death, and it also can see events that will occur in which it is not involved.

[...] These are in one sense certainly tangible to the inner self. [...]

[...] I have earlier explained that no real division exists between consciousness and subconsciousness, both equally being conscious, and both being part of the same consciousness of the whole self.

The subconscious merely is aware of, and operates within, a very valid psychological perspective, with which the so-called conscious self is not familiar. [...]

Such a task meant that man must break out of the self-regulating, precise, safe and yet limiting aspects of instinct. [...]

If its built-in instincts are left alone the body is basically self-regulating. [...]

(Long pause.) Because you believe that physical self-defense is the only way to counter such a situation then you will say, “If I am attacked by another person, are you telling me that I cannot aggressively counter his obvious intent to destroy me?”

[...] It is a self-correcting mechanism. [...]

[...] And it is only in that state that the inner self can utilize its abilities.

[...] Suggest that while you sleep your inner self will make whatever corrections or adjustments are necessary to bring about this end.

The ideas of penance, fasting to excess, the personal abuse of the body, such as self-flagellation — all of those practices are conducted in the belief that suffering is something to be sought in itself. [...]

[...] Almost the same kinds of fluctuations and stages occur even when you are waking, however, though you are even less aware of them because then the egotistical self acts quite purposefully to blanket out these other areas of experience.

[...] Here a great creative synthesis and a great creative diversification takes place, in which any given dream image has meaning to various layers of the self — on one level representing a truth you have lived and on other levels representing this truth as it is more specifically applied to various areas of experience or problems. [...]

[...] Acts which fit in with the good-intended universe, in which basically each life and detail, seeking its good, also works for the good of all others, bring forth what you call good acts—simple enough acts which are not well-intentioned in that light, toward the self or others “do not work right.” [...] They bring pain, sorrow, or illness to the self or to others, and they are often called evil acts. [...]

“The entity is the basic self, immortal, nonphysical. [...] The individual is the portion of the whole self that we manage to express physically. [...]

[...] IT FITS THE ME OF ME, THE PERSONALITY MORE 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 FUTURE.

In each dimension the inner self begins to handle further aspects of reality. [...] It takes on more roles, you see, and the psychological structure becomes more complicated as the inner self becomes sure enough of itself to admit ever more stimuli, while still retaining its own core.

The information was perceived through the inner senses, and though Ruburt is not consciously aware of the dream’s importance the inner self has assimilated the knowledge. [...]

[...] This is not unusual, for the inner self frequently leaves the body when the body sleeps.

[...] Let us speak no more of a conscious or unconscious self. There is one self and it focuses its attention in various dimensions. [...]

Seth offers some evocative suggestions as to how dreams can be used as direct therapy, and some of his concepts could be of great aid in self-help programs and in psychotherapy.

[...] … The self is limitless. [...]

[...] When the physical body lies in bed, it is separated by a vast distance from the dream location in which the dreaming self may dwell. [...]

[...] This was not merely some self-punishing situation. [...]

[...] “The inner self, as distinguished from the more accessible subconscious, is aware of the situation and finds release through frequent inner communications where successes are remembered and reexperienced. [...] It knows it is more than the self that it has for a time chosen to be.”

I knew Rob was right, though: Some self-protection is necessary on my part. [...]

[...] (The thing is, when I consciously think in such a limited fashion, my intuitive inner self rises up and shows me that much more is involved than the ego. [...]

[...] Complete recovery, illness, or early death are not preordained on the part of the entity [or whole self]. [...]

[...] If they read Ruburt’s books, they must accept the fact that Ruburt, as a woman, without the world’s credentials, will dare to follow the dictates of the inner self, and this makes the entire affair more frightening to them, to a degree.

[...] Do not make the mistake of becoming self-righteous.

[...] Those relationships also represent, however, the most natural aspects, in certain regards, in which the self must rely upon that source that initially gave it life. [...]

[...] 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 inner self knows what it is doing. [...]

[...] The vitamin E does help, and Ruburt’s idea of his own self-image is involved, also.

Both of you, remembering the article you read this evening (about Picasso), should keep in mind the immense energies of the inner self to solve such problems, to set the personality aright, and literally get it back on its feet. [...]

[...] When you concentrate upon the symptoms you often then forget the abilities of the inner self and the vast reservoir of help available. [...]

[...] The physical life that you do not understand, that is now the vehicle for the expression of your self. [...]

[...] So I can look at you, for example, knowing your reincarnational existences, and I am not limited to communicating to the one self you think yourself to be. [...]

Any deep exploration of the self will lead you into areas that will confound conventional beliefs about sexuality. [...] They may not be so released in normal life, but you will meet the greater dimensions of your own reality, and at least in the dream state catch a glimpse of the self that transcends a one-sex orientation.

Emerson, Whitman, to some extent Thoreau—these were men who spoke of self-reliance, either in the natural or the spiritual world, or both. [...]

It is very important that your readers also do not latch upon “you make your own reality” in such a way that they reinforce old beliefs about poor self-worth, sin, or iniquity. [...]

[...] However it is impossible for them to create a consistent solid image in your terms, for while they are still focused within your system the inner self knows well that the individual is finished with a given life situation, is out of alignment so to speak, and is therefore denied full use of its own energy.

[...] Value fulfillment is always working, yet there is between those two statements—you realize the ones to which I refer—the idea of judgment as an impetus and spur against the inner self’s knowledge of the growth that must come.
