[...] He was terrified of the vulnerability to pain, and yet he felt the ability to face and handle the pain was something he would run away from otherwise; that he had done everything to avoid it, and that it was one of life’s physical realities that he had refused to admit. [...]

[...] Ruburt did not feel he was mature enough to handle his abilities. [...]

This resulting pattern or physical body makes it possible for the cells, atoms and molecules to express themselves, and to fulfill abilities that would be impossible for them in another context. They share to some degree in the perspective reached through the abilities of a physically-large body structure, in a way that would be denied to them in other fashions.

The ability to project idea or energy into physical construction is, therefore, generalized throughout the whole physical human body, and throughout the bodies of any living thing. [...]

[...] The individual subconscious, as I have explained, is the result of a psychic pooling of resources and abilities. [...]

[...] The reflection of this law is seen in the latent ability for almost infinite varieties of structures, and endless combinations that can be achieved by the atoms and molecules, and smaller particles of your universe.

[...] In a fashion, at least in your time, science has as much to fear from the free intellect as religion does, and (with irony) any strong combination of intellectual and intuitional abilities is not tailor-made to bring you great friends from either category.

[...] With some sense of freedom and play, both of you can combine high qualities of intuitional and intellectual abilities so that they sometimes merge into a higher mind.

[...] You realize that knowledge alone is not enough, that practice and ability play a considerable part. [...]

In the next scene, you have the introduction of the artistic ability, however, personified by your friend of your younger New York artistic past. [...]

[...] Ruburt has indeed felt a strong responsibility regarding the predicament of some correspondents—again, because he was not certain as to which purposes his psychic abilities should be put. [...]

If those abilities did lie in other directions, he would have felt strong impulses to hold sessions on the behalf of others, and would long ago have taken that course, so here again there are misunderstandings. [...]

[...] It contains portions of the self that are—I hesitate, you see, to say superior, for he is not to get conceited—but portions of the self that contain more abilities than those usually held by the ego.

[...] You both have the responsibility to use all of your abilities, and this is perhaps the one thing that is required of you.

[...] Because of this, Seth said, it is very necessary that we develop all of our abilities as much as possible in this life. [...]

(During break Barbara said in conversation that she didn’t like “any” Germans and that she has no musical ability.

The music ability was misused, and therefore is no longer dominant, you see.

Deepest abilities are not being developed because of the basic rigid attitudes. [...]

(It will be recalled that at various times Seth has said that Bill Macdonnel has much natural psychic ability, and that it is largely untrained. Seth stated that Bill was gifted in many lines of psychic ability, among them the perception of apparitions. [...]

By accepting yourself and joyfully being what you are, you fulfill your own abilities, and your simple presence can make others happy. [...]

[...] In far-past historical times, different kinds of orientation were experimented with (as by the “sleepwalkers” described in the last session, for instance). Your own present private experience can give hints and clues about such other cultures, for those abilities reside within the natural framework, now, but are underdeveloped.

This also has to do with pulsations of energy in which consciousness as you know it, now, exercises itself, using native abilities that cannot be expressed through physical orientation alone.

Your own main consciousness has the ability to travel faster than light (as noted at 9:37), but those perceptions are too fast, and the neurologically structured patterns that you accept cannot capture them. [...]

5. “Disentanglement” immediately reminded me of the inner senses — those qualities and abilities which the personality uses to apprehend its physical (or camouflage) world. [...]

In other words, I may teach the same lesson in many different ways, according to the abilities and assumptions that are inherent in any given system in which I must operate. [...]

Now: This ability to change form is an inherent characteristic of any consciousness. [...]

[...] Instead Jane used her “own” abilities to tune in on the diagram of a machine that Bob Monroe drew; he had seen this on one of his out-of-body journeys. [...] She enjoys using her abilities this way.

[...] I came across his essay, The Poet, in which he talked about the ‘speakers’ as being those who use their inner abilities to ‘speak the inner secrets of nature.’ The essay impressed me strongly, seeming to echo elements in my own writing and psychic characteristics; and of course I thought of Seth’s ‘Speakers’ as he described them in Chapter Twenty of Seth Speaks.
