“Now I’m getting ideas from so many places at once, so fast, that I can’t express them all. I need you to coach me, to ask, ‘What’s happening now?’ to keep me focused on one channel…. Because our mental habits automatically block out such material, we only recognize one series of neurological happenings — it takes time for the message to leap the nerve endings [the synapses]. We just recognize one speed. Other messages leap too fast or too slow for us to focus upon them. By altering our consciousness in the way I’m learning to do now, though, we can line up our focuses with these other ‘ghostly’ messages, that are quite as real as the neurological validity we usually accept.”
“I almost feel that if you asked me at any time of the day, ‘Jane, what are you getting now?’ that I could tune into any of these areas of information, and tell you … As the messages leap the nerve ends they form certain pulses; we recognize these as messages and ignore all the others. I feel as though I’m learning to jump in between the recognized pulses and pick up usually inaccessible ones. Trying to make all this verbal is very difficult.”

[...] The environment presented a framework in which consciousness learned to deal with stimuli in a direct fashion. It learned how to focus. [...]
[...] As the ego learned to feel more secure, the cooperative tendencies broadened so that the growth of nations was possible. [...]
Where your physical survival, in those terms, once depended upon a narrowed focus while you learned physical manipulation, now the success of that manipulation necessitates a broadening of focus — a new awakening into the larger existence of the selfhood, with what will be a corresponding rerecognition of neurological activity that is now only briefly sensed by some (like Jane), but present in the heritage of your corporal structure.
[...] Even now, more than 10 years after Jane began speaking for Seth, one might say that each session we hold represents another step in this learning process; we fully expect it to continue as long as the sessions do.
