“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

These levels of consciousness are only preliminaries to another state that I have reached but seldom. In this state your intellect, intuitions, and entire being operate at a level that is really supranormal. Your senses are almost unbelievably acute. This state can occur whether you are normally awake, “awake” in the sleep condition, or in a trance. But you feel as if you have lived your life in a dream and are now awake. Momentarily you are aware of your multidimensional reality. Once you have had this experience, you never forget it.

“There is a condition of consciousness that is more awake than any you have ever known—a condition in which you are aware of your own waking and dreaming selves simultaneously. You can become fully awake while the body sleeps. You can extend the present limitations of your awareness.”

This intuitional alertness carries over into daily life and into the sleeping state. Through instructions given by Seth I’ve learned to come fully awake while dreaming, as mentioned earlier. In this state you recognize your dreams as dreams and can manipulate them more or less at will. You can leave your body safely sleeping, for a projection of consciousness. All of this involves work, however—at least on my part. You must learn, through experience, to maintain the proper level of consciousness, and there is always the possibility of falling back to the usual dream state.

In awake-seeming dreams you are indeed awake, but within a different psychological framework, indeed, within a different framework of reality. [...] You are then able to realize that while you are indeed awake as you seem, you are awake while the body is asleep.

If you were as knowledgeable and crafty when you were awake, then you would put all religions and sciences out of business, for you would understand the greater reality of your psyche. [...]

YOUR DREAMING PSYCHE IS AWAKE

[...] But she went on: “Now let me get a couple of paragraphs on the chapter… The heading is: ‘Your Dreaming Psyche Is Awake.’” Then Seth came through at once:)

[...] She struggled to stay awake. [...]

(“That wouldn’t keep you awake any more than trying to have a session,” I said. [...]

[...] The physically oriented consciousness, responding to one phase of the atom’s activity, comes alive and awake to its particular existence, but in between are other fluctuations in which consciousness is focused upon entirely different systems of reality; each of these coming awake and responding, and each one having no sense of absence, and memory only of those particular fluctuations to which they respond.

[...] The short dream was so vivid that I was jolted wide awake out of a deep sleep. [...]

[...] Presumably you are awake, but in many ways when you are awake, you are resting far more than you are in your so-called unconscious nightly state. [...]

[...] In the usual awake state, in the terms now of this discussion, you deal with the available physical evidence of the world as it appears to present perception, that is, or with what you can see or feel or touch, either immediately or through physical instruments. [...]

[...] Creativity allows you, while awake, to ignore or even to contradict what seems to be the hard evidence of known reality, either in large or small terms. [...]

[...] (Pause.) In times of stress the old stay-awake-at-night fearful pattern reoccurs. [...]

There was too the need to be alert and awake to protect himself. [...]

[...] Then I thought that I was wide awake, telling Rob about the dream. [...] Was I really awake, or was this a “false awakening as described by both Seth and Fox, and which I had experienced in the past? [...] It was difficult to imagine that I might really be asleep and dreaming, and not awake. [...]

[...] Very rarely do you go wide-awake, speeding out of your body like a rocket. [...]

I want to mention the difference in experience and sensation between projections from a dream state and those from the trance state and also what Ruburt calls awake-seeming dreams, for there are many things here that you do not know, and they are fairly important.

[...] … As you develop in your use of it, you will be able to rest within its framework while you are consciously awake. [...]

Some night as you fall to sleep, try telling yourself that you will pretend you are awake while you sleep.

To understand that you create your own reality requires that same kind of “awakening” from the normal awake state — at least for many people. [...]

You can “come awake” from your normal waking state, and that is the natural next step for consciousness to follow — one for which your biology has already equipped you. [...]
