[...] It is highly unusual, but possible, according to the strength of the psychic discontent, that the consciousness could then split itself up, some residing in the new image.

[...] The conscious knowledge will be of great help.

[...] They had no independent personality consciousness of their own.

[...] For if past, present and future exist together (and continue to develop), then I see nostalgia as expressing a legitimate searching by the conscious mind as it seeks to grasp that the past exists now, and is not “dead.” [...] The yearning I feel each time I drive past the apartment house Jane and I lived in for 15 years, just west of the business section of Elmira, represents my conscious reunification of the past with the present, and even a projection of both into the future in ordinary terms.

[...] Before going into our chronology of personal events for those three months, however, I want to continue my brief study of the affairs—really the consciousnesses—involving Three Mile Island, Iran, and the war between Iran and Iraq. [...]

[...] Despite the appearance that the revolution in Iran—made up as it is of all of those diverse consciousnesses—is feeding upon itself in very destructive ways, in ordinary terms, civil war does not appear to be likely. [...]

[...] With the kind of consciousness you possess, an overreliance upon conserving principles could then end up in a reduction of life’s processes.

[...] He is more consciously aware of what he is doing, so that he does not fall, for example, into self-pity so often, or feelings of hopelessness, but instead stops. [...]

[...] And as I have told you consciousness, conscious energy, continually manifests itself in various forms. [...]

[...] However, those who ask concerning the time of the origin of consciousness within your universe, are those who do not understand that the most minute physical particle, the most microscopic, is a materialization of inner, aware energy.

You, any man, participates in more varied perspectives than he knows consciously, and appears in one way or another in more dimensions than he knows. [...]

(She said that although she had a good idea of the reasons for her upset this afternoon, she didn’t make conscious connections with her childhood friend, Eddie Briscoe.

[...] But that particular moment, any particular moment, that you think of as the past, existed before your egotistical perception of it, and is constantly being changed by you, even when you no longer consciously perceive it.

[...] Consciously you have simply lost sight of it, and have not followed it through in its endless depths.

[...] At this time, not having practiced self-hypnosis consciously, Jane had a great fear of dentists. [...]

[...] Once again, let me quote Seth from that private session Jane held just a year ago, on April 16, 1981: “Your kind of consciousness, relatively speaking, involves some intrinsic difficulties along with spectacular potentials. [...] In that larger picture (underlined) there are no errors, for each action, pleasant or not, will in its fashion be redeemed, both in relationship to itself and … to a larger picture that the conscious mind may not be able presently to perceive.”

For all of your complaining (Seth told us with some humor at 8:56), you understand in rather good measure the decisions and actions that motivate your lives, so that Ruburt is more than usually aware of the manipulations that psychologically and physically lie just beneath the material usually carried by what is ordinarily called the conscious mind. [...]

[...] Ironically, then, in the midst of my own half-conscious withdrawal I’d been giving birth to not only Seth’s Dreams, but several other intriguing long-range concepts. [...]

[...] On occasion I was consciously aware of thinking how easy it might be on certain levels to let my desires drop one by one—there seemed to be few left in any case—and to let myself simply drift off into an unastonished death.

[...] For the poet did not simply string words together, but sent out a syntax of consciousness, using rhythm and the voice, rhyme and refrain, as methods to form steps up which his own consciousness could rush. [...]

(“Do you mean ‘conscience’ or ‘consciousness’?”)

1. A note added a little later: For more on Dialogues, altered states of consciousness, creative processes, etc., see the notes following the 618th session in Chapter Three, and those for the 639th session in Chapter Ten.

[...] In the terms used by science, there was no evolution in linear terms, but vast (long pause) explosions of consciousness, expansions of capacities, unfoldings on the parts of all species, and these still continue. They are the inner manipulations with which consciousness presents itself.

I bid you a good evening, but I want you to watch your conscious thoughts for a different reason this time. [...]

[...] Now recognizing these mental limitations will help free your consciousness and this is after all, I hope, what we all want here. [...]

[...] It automatically propels your body in the proper fashions, even though you are not consciously aware of the inner mechanisms involved. [...]

[...] Your intent to find a mate sends out “strands of consciousness,” however, composed of desire and intent. [...]

Consciousness is like a flower with many petals.

(This message referred to an experience Jane and I had consciously forgotten. [...]

[...] They do not know consciously how to change a river into a forest. This manipulation, as I have explained, is undertaken unknown to the recognized conscious ego.

[...] There is the problem here of my entry also into your conscious minds. [...]

[...] The noise of the wind and so forth gave you a glimmering of the earlier data that had not reached your consciousness.

[...] And in the first place the data came into his consciousness in a watered-down form.

[...] This unity and interdependence is in itself responsible for that interplay of mental and psychic action which results in the individual consciousness, that is, with the ego.

[...] Increased consciousness and awareness of itself, through the manipulation and materialization of its own energy into more complicated camouflage patterns, is another characteristic of a system or unit.

[...] It appeared that the point of transition between the two levels existed somewhere within, or beneath, my body, but I was not aware of it consciously. [...]

[...] These ideas, again, are a part of the one line of consciousness that says “You have only so much energy and so much time. [...]

[...] You are each on the way to important kinds of progress in this life, and what you are learning about the quality of consciousness is important.

[...] The accomplishment of working this through for yourselves however is far more significant than you realize, for it necessitates motion through fields of consciousness that you and others did not expect existed.

[...] Again, the environment is conscious and alive. [...]

[...] The connections can be conscious, unconscious, or both. [...]

[...] I feel that Laurel’s and my relationship is a clear case in which a long-standing “unknown” counterpart connection came into our consciousnesses when we were ready for it to, and that eventually it led to our meeting. [...]

[...] In mundane terms each piece of furniture is a symbol—you have conscious feelings about it. [...]

Following his natural impulses automatically brings issues out into the open, so that today he worried about not writing, and so was consciously aware of the conflict and of its reasons. [...]

[...] Children have to be taught, because the abilities of consciousness in human terms cannot be held to such dictates.

[...] He is telepathically in communication with animals and other people, and on a different level he is in a kind of communication with plants and other such consciousnesses.

[...] They are that sensitive to the consciousness within cellular structure. [...]

[...] So does any consciousness, including that of a plant. [...]

[...] Checking with Tom Hartley’s wife after the party, Jane learned for sure that Pete Tomoski does wear a toupee, being self-conscious of his baldness because he is a barber... [...]

The next chapter will deal with the basic methods of communication that are used by any consciousness, according to its degree, whether or not it is physical. [...]

The next chapter will relate what experience I have had in all my existences, with those pyramid gestalts of which I speak in the material, and with my own and about my own relationship with the personality you call Seth Two, and with multidimensional consciousnesses far more evolved than I.

It is as I have said before, and the session is to help you and Ruburt trust his own processes, since consciously he cannot know all of the body’s multitudinous happenings. [...]
