“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“Books cannot tell you this. Even if you discover, through psychoanalysis, where your neuroses lie, you are in very shallow water. You are still exploring the topmost levels of your personality, and you do not have the benefit of those altered states of consciousness that occur when you look into yourself in the manner I have prescribed.

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.

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.
