“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It can only be reached from the inside. Many of the questions you have asked cannot be answered in the manner in which you have asked them. The ideals of which you speak are your protection, built-in survival mechanisms that warn of danger, invisible fences like psychic signs saying beware.

You are being allowed freedom within limits. (Long pause.) The human race is a stage through which various forms of consciousness travel. The ideals keep the race pointed in beneficial directions. Thoughts and emotions form the basis. You learn by seeing these turn into physical reality. You may be killed by what you have created. If so the lesson is doubly learned.

The ideals are like instructions on a blackboard that will not be erased. When you have learned the lesson you realize that the ideals were not necessary, but until you learn the lesson they are all you have as guidelines. The ideals are mere shadows of instructions. They are however your own translations of truths as nearly as you can comprehend them within the system.

There is a reason why you view daily physical existence in a different manner while you are within it. In your dreams you are able to know what progress you are making, and where your failures lie. This information is compared to the ideals that have been reached in the manner I have told you; and the ideals themselves originate in the dream state, and are then translated into terms that are practical physically.
