[...] This noon Jane told me she thought Seth might have something to say tonight about the attempts at communication with Dr. Instream.

[...] The intellect can be used most handily in tabulating our results, but it will not help us to get our results, unless it is utilized as a means toward discovering how best to harness the emotions for communication purposes.

[...] When Ruburt tries too hard, he often blocks material by losing spontaneity; and when you try too hard, you interrupt any communication, or at least make it more difficult.

[...] Since the mechanisms of normal speech are so little known to you on a conscious level, then it is not surprising that you are equally unaware of more complicated tasks that you also perform — such as the constant creation of your physical environment as a method of communication and expression.

[...] He had the idea for this chapter very clearly in mind, she said; and, with extraordinary vividness, he was “impressing” her with his idea of matter being used as a means of communication. [...]

[...] If you and Ruburt have certain abilities to perceive, receive, translate and communicate that which some others cannot, many also have other abilities that neither of you do have.

Here you will discover man’s true origins, and the mechanisms and ways in which the unseen self operates, forms his universe of matter through psychic energy, and communicates on levels unperceived by his outer physical organism.

[...] He allows us to communicate. [...]

[...] It will be shown that personalities continue to exist after physical death, and then it will not seem so strange that those such as myself can communicate.

[...] On the other hand the effort to communicate explanations does involve a very real endeavor on my part. [...] As I have said, feeling is action, and in my communications to you feeling plays a strong part.

When communication takes place between a survival personality and one who exists within the physical system, this involves a reshuffling on the part of the survival personality, where the ego is momentarily given greater reign … If this was not done, then in most cases communication would not be possible, just because the survival personality would have such difficulty impressing the personality who was still ego-oriented within the physical system.

Because Ruburt deals in words [as a writer], it is easy for me to communicate in this manner. [...]

[...] In order for there to be communication between us I must disentangle a concept from its pattern, which is somewhat difficult. [...]

[...] This portion of your identity is quite natively clairvoyant and telepathic, so that you are warned of disasters before they occur, whether or not you consciously accept the message, and all communication takes place long before a word is spoken.

For convenience’s sake, you close out the multitudinous inner communications that leap between the tiniest parts of your flesh, yet even as physical creatures, you are to some extent a portion of other consciousnesses. [...]

[...] If, on the other hand, your intuitions and creative instincts are allowed freedom, then they communicate some knowledge of greater dimensions to this most physically oriented portion of your personality.

(Seth II:) Certain translations are being made for you so that these communications make sense to you. [...] We watch you as you watch others, yet so vast is the distance, in your terms, that communication is difficult. [...]

[...] So I can look at you, for example, knowing your reincarnational existences, and I am not limited to communicating to the one self you think yourself to be. [...]

Your communication, however, is much better. [...]

[...] This can be quite advantageous, and will certainly speed up communications. [...]

[...] They see the world differently, and in one way or another they communicate that difference to friends and associates. [...]

Your ideas (about seeing people), mentioned earlier, should definitely be acted upon—that is, you do both need some personal communication with others. [...]

[...] Any such inner communications are basically the same in that they are picked up by the inner senses, whether or not the information is received as a telepathic communication or in terms of clairvoyance. [...]

[...] That is, he wove a dream about a legitimate telepathic communication.

The actual communication is not in words or pictures. [...]

[...] Part of the subconscious fantasy in the dream was of course valid, representing a watered-down version of the actual communication. [...]

[...] Not that mediums, or others, couldn’t communicate with the “dead” — but to us, anyhow, exhibitions involving well-known personages usually seem … psychologically tainted. [...]

[...] She’d already done some writing yesterday, for Psychic Politics, leading toward this view⁵; so whatever we learned through Seth this evening, we already felt reasonably sure that in usual trite terms Jane hadn’t been communicating directly with two such famous personalities. [...]

[...] He was not directly in communication with William James.

Quite rightly, he did not interpret the event in conventional terms, and Joseph did not suppose that James himself was communicating in the way usually imagined (but see the opening notes for this session). Joseph did recognize the excellence of the material. [...]

([Daniel:] “I think I understand that all of these different levels of my consciousness then are being communicated, not only by me consciously, but also through telepathic communication.”)

[...] Then, as far as is possible, communicate those feelings verbally in whatever way you choose. Use anger as a method of communication, often it will lead to results that you do not think of and, in your terms, beneficial results. [...]

[...] Then you do not make others that brunt of your anger, and anger is merely a method of communication. [...]

[...] There are devices within each room that enable a dweller in one room to communicate with those in other rooms. [...]

[...] Your state of mind and the receptivity will be communicated to him and serve as a beckoning area that he will recognize. [...]

[...] But more than this there should be an inner word communication between you that will actually be of telepathic origin. [...]

[...] We’re keeping a list of all questions, with the daily answers, and are now seeing some notable shifts in answers, indicating improved communication between her conscious and unconscious selves.

[...] You age of communications has significantly altered public and private life, so that for example by mail Ruburt might receive as many petitions as the king of a country in times past. [...]

In a strange fashion because of his fears, now—and these particular fears can be countered with communications with the unconscious, and with understanding—he was afraid simply that so many people knew of his existence. [...]

Normal angry feelings are natural methods of communication, ways of stabilizing situations. [...]

(Therefore I will make a harder effort to do both my art and to make it available to others and to get money with it, to broaden its communicative necessities—this I am perfectly willing to do once I understand its necessity. [...]

[...] Your later, better communication and rapport made matters worse, for his unexpressed feelings seemed then completely unjustified, and his fear of hurting you grew stronger.

[...] They enjoy communication, the pursuit of knowledge, and they are filled with curiosity.

[...] These take it for granted that any stressful situation will worsen, that communication with others is dangerous, that self-fulfillment brings about the envy and vengeance of others, and that as individuals they live in an unsafe society, set down in the middle of a natural world that is itself savage, cruel, and caring only for its own survival at any cost.

[...] If our communications involved, or if any such communications involved invasion, there would be no distortion because the individual so invaded would be blotted out. [...]

If you cannot communicate important ideas, then you must communicate trivial ones. The big conversation, in which you attempt to communicate your ideas, only frightens her. The idea should be communicated when you are not emotionally upset, and you should not adopt the tone of a parent speaking to a child.

[...] The simple fact is that you do need her, and you have not communicated this. [...]

[...] Not only that, but your paintings are not an attempt to communicate with the world, or to get anything from it. [...] Instead they are communications between yourself and the universe, without the need, necessarily, that others approve or disapprove, or see or not see. In your writing, however, you want to communicate.

[...] Even intelligent men and women, some original thinkers, depend upon more or less organized procedures and recognized channels, through which communications with others like them are made. [...]

[...] Your stomach problem is basically the result of your feelings about what you consider to be a lack of communication, a blocking of your natural love. [...]

[...] That kind of response means that there is communication between, say, the present and past areas of the psyche. [...]

The Sinful Self itself can also make such realizations once the door to communication is opened. [...]

[...] My feelings toward the Sinful Self were certainly not charitable, nor was I about to concede it a state of grace in view of its damaging actions, even if Jane has ignored it and shut off communication. [...]
