What is the point in learning to use the Inner Senses? Seth spoke about some of the benefits in the recorded session he gave for the college psychology class. He said, “You will not be swallowed by subjectivity. You will learn what reality is. … What is not understood is that self-investigation initiates states of consciousness with which you are usually not familiar. Now these can be used as investigative tools.

What Seth is alluding to is that the practice of Psy-Time does stretch normal consciousness. All kinds of previously inhibited inspirations, hunches, and helpful extrasensory information now come into conscious awareness. When you do Psy-Time regularly, you become alert to data that comes through the Inner Senses. You react to the data and learn to handle a larger amount of stimuli than before.

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.
