[...] This section [of “Unknown” Reality] deals with the various exercises that will, I hope, provide you with your own intimate glimpses into previously unknown realities.

[...] The unknown reality is unknown only because you believe it must be hidden. [...]

(Our last session, the 717th, is deleted from “Unknown” Reality. [...]

(Nor have I checked up on “Unknown” Reality’s bulk. [...] I added that I didn’t think she need worry about readers following Seth’s material — that certainly many others are just as curious as we are about where “Unknown” Reality is going.

Now: Dictation (slowly and softly). The unknown reality: It cannot be expressed in the cozy terms of known knowledge, and so you must stretch your own imagination, rouse yourself from mental lethargy, and be bold enough to discard old dogmatic comfort blankets.

[...] From it springs a completely new and unknown species of plant, as far as the island is concerned; and the plant in turn brings forth flowers with pollen, fruits, and scents (spelled) that have a different kind of creativity that is still its own. [...]

[...] He plans to attend ESP class tomorrow night, then stay over Wednesday to read and discuss the two works Jane has in progress, Adventures in Consciousness: An Introduction to Aspect Psychology, and “Unknown” Reality. [...] If Seth comes through with material for “Unknown” Reality, Tam will be the first “outsider” to sit in on a session for this work. [...]

[...] The regularly scheduled session for last Wednesday night wasn’t held while we made ready for several approaching events, and as the days went by Jane [and I] simply forgot about what was coming up in “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] Then in Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality, Seth refers to Adventures on occasion, while I give information about it in Note 3 for his Preface, and Note 5 for Session 680, among others.

The unknown reality is your psychic, spiritual, and psychological one, and from it your physical experience springs.¹

[...] In a sense they are different people now than they were when “Unknown” Reality was begun (some 14 months ago). However, many of my readers are also different people now than they were when they began to read this work.

[...] They had already seen one on the inside, as mentioned earlier in “Unknown” Reality.³ This manuscript, for that matter, was begun precisely at the point in time that Ruburt’s and Joseph’s latest adventure with probabilities began. [...]

[...] Section 1 should be entitled “You and the ‘Unknown’ Reality,” with “Unknown” in quotes. [...]

[...] A certain number of birds shuttled back and forth within the formation at any one moment, changing their positions for reasons unknown to us, “talking” all the while. [...]

(Another one-minute pause.) Give us a moment … The “unknown” reality sustains you and the web of life as you understand it. [...]

Rob typed Seth’s other books, Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul, The Nature of Personal Reality, and the two volumes of The “Unknown” Reality, added his own notes, and did almost all the work of preparing them for publication. He was still working on The “Unknown” Reality when Seth finished this present book. [...]

[...] During the period that Seth was dictating this book, Rob was typing the two volumes of Seth’s previous work, The “Unknown” Reality, and adding innumerable notes that correlated Seth’s material with that of his earlier books. [...]

Seth began discussing world views in his “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] Naturally this is brought about by my own reactions to whatever the trigger happens to be, but still “Unknown,” and other creative endeavors have often been involved, when conflicts between what I think of as useful creative work run into doing things like shoveling snow, or other household items that I seem to think of as “chores.” [...] The long working time—perhaps three years—spent on “Unknown” evidently allowed that project to accumulate strong psychic charges on my part; when doubts or challenges arise in conflict with the work on the book, I would react in uncomfortable ways occasionally.

[...] The Christmas tree and all the decorations have been dismantled; the house is cleaned to some extent, and the copyedited version of Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality has been returned to Prentice-Hall. [...]

The unknown reality: Much of that reality is unknown simply because your beliefs close you off from your own knowledge. [...]

(Jane and I hadn’t realized it at first, but we were to take a long rest from work on “Unknown” Reality following the 707th session, for July 1. We were busy during the next 14 weeks, of course; there follow a few notes about some of our activities, grouped together by subject matter rather than chronology.

(Just as I had some small psychic adventures during our time off from “Unknown” Reality, Jane did too. [...]

[...] Seth came back to Jamaica in Jane’s ESP class the next evening [on November 19]; at the same time he began discussing his concept of “counterparts,” which he formally introduces in tonight’s [721st] session for “Unknown” Reality. [...]

(And separately: Over the weekend Jane remarked more than once that “Unknown” Reality might prove to be so long that it could go into two volumes — a probable development I hardly took seriously. [...]

There are unknown gulfs that separate the private experience of a poor Indian, a rich Indian, a native in New Guinea, an American tailor, an African nationalist, a Chinese aristocrat, an Irish housewife. [...]

[...] On the other hand he thinks “What if I am inspired with new material when I still have Seven to finish, and when besides I should be helping Rob with “Unknown”?

[...] There is no reason, however, why in the future you cannot freely take a month off from sessions in order to quicken your work on “Unknown”. [...]

[...] In Framework 2, “Unknown” is completely finished, of course, and whenever you have any difficulty with a note or an appendix, take a moment and tell yourself that the final, completed, quite excellent version of that note will come to you. [...]

[...] It was that although Jane’s eye condition might be caused by my delays with getting “Unknown” Reality to the public, another reason was also involved: namely, that she saw the revealing notes I did for “Unknown” as a threat also.)

[...] The private image of the person was largely unknown. [...]

[...] I told Jane about my insight, involving her eyes and “Unknown” Reality. [...]

(Certainly the house affair is a good demonstration of at least some of the elements contained within The “Unknown” Reality—But then, The “Unknown” Reality can just as well be translated in ordinary terms like houses and neighborhoods as any other way....)

[...] No information given to my knowledge that was unknown to any living person; some given that was not known consciously by Jerry but she could have picked up the knowledge and forgotten it.)

[...] You will want to paint, to prepare “Unknown.” [...] “Unknown” is timeless, yet it will flow into time. [...]

You determine the time you want to spend with “Unknown”—time you want to spend, say, in the yard. [...]

[...] For example, it is a statement of fact, my dear Joseph, that when you leave your work on “Unknown” you must then spend much time reacquainting yourself with the material, struggling to assimilate material, regaining continuity, and so forth. [...]

You have an excellent grasp of “Unknown” Reality, and of all the material contained therein. [...]

(Last Saturday I mailed the last four sessions for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality to Prentice-Hall, and this week I’ve already finished up Chapter 1 for Psyche.

[...] My pendulum told me often that the teeth were responding to my negative projections that the two volumes of “Unknown”weren’t going to make much of an impression in the mundane world, no matter what we said or did.

[...] It is really very good, and a work that I’d completely forgotten about; I see now that it should have been incorporated into “Unknown” Reality somewhere. [...]

[...] In volume, her voice had ranged up and down the scale — a most unusual demonstration as far as these sessions for “Unknown” Reality are concerned; usually she has Seth come through in a rather businesslike, routine manner, with any milder voice or speed effects taking place within that framework.

2. At about the time Seth was producing his material on patterns for “Unknown” Reality, Jane was dealing with the same concept from her own much more personal viewpoint. [...]

3. See Seth’s material on his units of consciousness, or CU’s, in sessions 682–83 for Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality. In the 682nd session after 9:47, for example, he discussed relationships between CU’s and probable realities.

(Happily refreshed by a few days’ rest, I’m back working on my notes and appendixes for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] “Maybe I got tired this afternoon, working on the Intro for ‘Unknown.’ I’ve had messages from Seth the last few days about the book stuff for the session tonight, but what we got doesn’t fit any of them…. [...]

(“What do you think of Jane helping me with the Introductory Notes for Volume 2 of ‘Unknown’?”

[...] She also knew of my questions about counterparts that I’d come up with as a result of my work on The “Unknown” Reality: were Jane and I counterparts; and, to resolve a contradiction—in two different sessions in that book, were George Rhoads and I counterparts, or weren’t we? [...]

The release of a small “unknown” muscle, short and innocuous in the foot, might activate another in the shoulder in the precise order necessary, that will act as a stimulus, say, for a joint someplace else. [...]

Your own annoying physical symptoms have been caused largely because of the matters just mentioned—either worry over “Unknown” Reality, or painting, or Ruburt. [...]

(“And here also with an unknown element.” [...] Jane of course knew of Ezra’s death although she had never met him; she agreed with me that “an unknown element.” [...]

[...] He is reaching beyond his own personal subconscious, for while the personal subconscious does have definite knowledge unknown to the conscious mind, it also has definite limits.

[...] And here also with an unknown element.
