[...] In his terms he felt alone, in that he felt he was upsetting all known knowledge, and without training working in the unknown. Since I was a part of that unknown, he could only trust me so far.

The unknown reality: each of you in your own way have been involved in studying its dynamics. [...]

[...] Each of you, in your own ways and on the grounds that you chose, were dealing intimately with challenges as you tried to decipher the unknown reality and bring it into physical manifestation as best you could.

[...] With Winged also makes interesting reading along with the verse from her much earlier poem, Summer Is Winter; see page 1 of Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality).

[...] When we return to our ordinary schedule I will more than keep you busy—but the unknown reality applies in such cases, so that unknown motives can become known and dealt with.

(Today I finished typing final copy for Session 733 of “Unknown” Reality—leaving just 11 to go to finish the book. [...]

HOW TO JOURNEY INTO THE “UNKNOWN” REALITY: TINY STEPS AND GIANT STEPS.

[...]

[...] The next section (5): “How to Journey Into the ‘Unknown’ Reality,” colon: “Tiny Steps and Giant Steps. [...]

This section will deal with various methods that will allow you to come in contact with the unknown reality to one extent or another. [...]

Your intellect operates beautifully in the notes and appendixes of “Unknown,” but instead of rejoicing in it, you wonder if your notes lack the very kind of emotionalism that would make that particular kind of clear intellectual objectivity most difficult. [...]

[...] “Unknown” simply became the platform. [...]

You have written the equivalent of your own book from a unique standpoint in “Unknown,” but neither of you have really been able to recognize that. [...]

[...] (Lunch, call Peg for story on Unknown—call Tam— we talk 3/4 of an hour.

[...] When you are learning about the nature of the psyche, an even greater aura of the unknown exists. The unknown portions of the psyche and its greater horizons, therefore, have often been perceived as gods or as the greater psyches out of which the self emerged — as for example Latin is a source for the Romance languages.

I will congratulate you both on your handling of today’s situation and Prentice, and taxes (and sample page proofs for Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality). [...]

Beside this, he received a letter in the mail, reporting the worst kind of nonsense, saying that the correspondent and his wife had heard that I was holding back “Unknown” 2, because the information could not be handled by the populace. [...]

The letter re-aroused several states of feeling: time taken for “Unknown” 2, for one thing, but also Ruburt was struck by the gullibility of the correspondents, who were saying in effect that they could not lead their lives properly unless Ruburt could deliver the material. [...]

[...] He also began to worry about helping with “Unknown” at that time, and about Psyche.

[...] As I opened my eyes, I realized that the material hadn’t been given yet in ‘Unknown’ Reality — though in the sleep state I was sure it had been.

[...] But first the material: She regards its method of reception, as well as its content, as representing breakthroughs of a kind for her, and because both that reception and content are related to “Unknown” Reality we’re presenting considerable portions of the statement here:)

(Here in the last paragraph, then, is a pertinent clue, and one that Jane arrived at without asking Seth: She’s experienced such translation challenges often since beginning “Unknown” Reality — hence her talk before many of these sessions [from the 679th on] about attaining that “certain clear focus,” or “the one clearest place in consciousness,” before she began speaking for Seth.

I speak to you from the known and unknown desire that gives you your own birth, and that speaks to you from the tiniest, least-acknowledged thought that flies like a pigeon within your skull … And in this moment of your reality, and in the desire of your being, do you even create All That Is. [...]

[...] There, I hope, you will work at developing skills, in terms of the dream-art scientist (for instance; see Session 700 in Volume 1 of ‘Unknown’ Reality), and learn other professions than the ones you now know.”

[...] Today he felt like acting actively with “Unknown.” [...] He began thinking in terms of what he could do, so that now we see that he is not only physically desiring to do more, and trying it, but also mentally stimulated, and with a new sense of purpose as far as “Unknown” is concerned, and a desire reawakened to play with Seven.

[...] We learned among other things that Jane felt she had to hold off on new inspiration while we fulfilled existing commitments—schedules and contracts, etc., and that she wanted to help type “Unknown” Reality, Volume 2, presumably, I thought so that she could get it out of the way so she’d be free to go on to other things. [...]

(I also think there are clear connections between Seth’s material this evening and that given in Appendix 4 in Volume 1 of “Unknown.” [...] I wrote later in “Unknown” that I thought Appendix 4 contained some of the best material in that work, and I still think so.)

[...] One even took us to task for “obscenities” in Volume 2 of “Unknown.” Jane and I have been talking about how best to deal with the implications of the mail—it often bothers her—but haven’t reached any conclusions. [...]

[...] [And added later: I quoted the last three lines in Appendix 18 for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality.]

[...] One was “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] Once again, following his recent custom, Seth delivered several additional pages of material on topics not connected to “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] That world has its own kind of rich complication, that is as unknown to the animals as is much of their acute realization unknown to you. [...]

(And just as I added much later to Note 7 for Session 688: Even though we were interested in questions of human origins, in those terms, we never resolved them before Seth finished “Unknown” Reality.)

[...] I want him to continue helping with “Unknown”—but also to follow the suggestions I gave a while ago, and devote some time each day to free, creative, playful thought. [...]

Nothing exists outside the psyche, however, that does not exist within it, and there is no unknown world that does not have its psychological or psychic counterpart. [...]

[...] For other contrasting examples, in Volume 1 see the notes closing out sessions 688 and 703, as well as related material in Appendix 4, wherein I wrote about the translation challenges she’s often faced since beginning “Unknown” Reality: “— hence her talk before many of these sessions … about attaining that ‘certain clear focus,’ or ‘the one clearest place in consciousness,’ before she began speaking for Seth.”

[...] I [recently] suggested a project to Ruburt’s class — one that will ultimately illuminate many of the points I am making in “Unknown” Reality. I suggested that Ruburt’s students create a “city”⁹ at another level of reality. [...]

[...] The impressions are for use in either “Unknown” Reality, Jane said, or in Psychic Politics.⁵ She grinned: “Thanks, Seth.” [...]

[...] If the unknown reality exists, it is because you play one melody over and over and so identify yourself, while closing out, consciously at least, all of the other possible variations that you could add to that tune.

To some extent you can actualize portions of your own unknown reality, and draw them into the experienced area of your life. [...]

[...] Your own behavior, customs, sciences, arts, and disciplines are in a way uniquely yours, yet they also provide glimpses into the ways in which various groupings of abilities can be used to probe into the “unknown” reality.

[...] If the same amount of time were spent to learn a different kind of science, you could indeed discover far more about the known and unknown realities. [...]

[...] Like the dream information given above, these instances demonstrate how “Unknown” Reality and the events of Jane’s daily living are interwound.
