“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

We have not discussed the inner senses in some time.

You should by now realize that they have an electric, magnetic reality also, and that the mental enzymes act as sparks, setting off these inner reactions.

The inner senses are connected then to the physical mechanism. Sometimes inner perceptions may be touched off as a result of stimuli received through the outer senses. In many cases however the stimulus comes from the deeper levels of the self, where however it may be translated into terms that the personal subconscious can use.

(Seth began talking about the inner senses almost as soon as the sessions began, in December of 1963. By the 20th session he had mentioned many of them. By the 60th session he had gone into some detail on 9 inner senses, 11 basic laws of the inner universe, and 3 properties of physical matter, along with the many other subjects included in the sessions. Check Volumes 1 and 2.

(More inner-sense delineations are to come, according to Seth. With a list of the above categories in mind however, it is clear which senses and laws apply to the material in the sessions following, up until now. I have often meant to remind Seth to mention the specific senses along with the material under discussion but have not done so.

Surely investigation should be done to probe into this matter. In such a case negative ions form an electrical framework in which healing is possible. Such healing dreams come most often when the inner self deeply feels a sense of desperation, and automatically opens up channels from deeper layers of the self, that have been closed for all effective purposes.

Such inner therapeutics also occur however at various levels of consciousness where they may be sparked by exterior stimuli of an esthetic or pleasing nature. Other exterior conditions have also their effect. To involve oneself in large groups, for example, is beneficial often, not simply to take attention away from the self, but because a larger range of electromagnetic realities are easily available.

Dr. Instream understands, I am sure, that we are not only involved here with inner perceptions, and with translations that must be made as data is given by me to Ruburt, but we are also working within human limitations, and of course with human potentialities.

Ruburt is extremely cautious. This will not work to our disadvantage however, for his cautiousness in these matters acts as a strong balancing mechanism, so that he learns to deal with inner perceptions stage by stage. His personality is not overwhelmed therefore. We have taken his ego into consideration at all times, so that he can consciously assimilate what he has learned, as is preferable. At times this may mean that we progress slowly, but the progression is steady and firm.

A note here to Dr. Instream. This material is more illuminating because Ruburt is in training, so to speak; because the ways in which the personality receives, interprets and translates inner perceptions are more obvious now than they will be at a later date.
