“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, when you go to sleep this evening, in your terms, you are every bit as much this conscious and aware. Your consciousness is not inhibited, it is not blurred. You have simply hypnotized yourselves into the concept of unconsciousness. Now, there is no such things as unconsciousness. You simply turn your conscious feelings and perceptions and abilities into different directions. You have a consciousness, and you use it in a multitudinous fashion. In this reality you only accept it as valid when it is directed toward physical matter and perception. But through understanding, you can direct it elsewhere and become aware of this.

You are so close, some of you, to understanding that cannot be verbalized, and yet I cannot give you a boost because they must come from you.

([Hope W:] “Seth, can you suggest what specific daily steps I can take to develop my inner senses?”)

Now, all of this effort, in your terms, will be quite valuable to you in this existence, as well as in others, in your terms. But the potential is within you now, and the source of your knowledge is indeed infinite. It is only you who have to learn how to draw upon it and use it. And in your terms it will seem to appear at different stages. It will seem to... get better. You will seem to draw upon a greater source as you learn to use your own abilities. And in all cases, the ego that you know develops and learns, and this alters the nature of the self that you are now, and it changes the characteristics of the ego as you presently think of it.

Now, when you change the character of the ego as you think of it, you change it not only for yourselves, but for the species of which you are a part. You are involved, therefore, in a spiritual and psychic evolution, in your terms. For the time will come when reincarnational information will be considered as you now think an instinct is. It will be a part of you. And that kind of development is growing now in groups like this throughout the world. So you work not only for yourselves, but you work for others, and you change not only yourselves, but you change others, and you alter the species of which you are a part.
