(Pause at 9:40.) Your consciousness, however, is equipped to create realities in other fields as well. [...]

[...] As mentioned earlier, thoughts, containing their own electromagnetic reality, have form whether or not you perceive it. With each thought, then, you send out from yourself shapes and images that can be quite legitimate realities to those within the system of reality into which they are propelled.

[...] Some of your own feelings are propelled into a reality within such systems, adopting within that framework their own mass and form. In the creation and maintenance of your normal reality, you focus your daily waking consciousness so that it becomes effective within the ranges necessary. [...]

The EE units are quite simply incipient forms of reality: seeds automatically given birth, suited for different environments, some appearing within the physical framework, and some not conforming at all to its prerequisites. Now some systems of reality are “bounded” with centers of faster-than-light particles. [...]

Physical reality is noisy, and complicated, and riotous and contradictory. [...]

[...] You know that you create physical matter. [...]

They are closed enough to retain identity and separateness of characteristic natures, but because they are all formed from inner vitality, they are actually interrelated; and when I describe fields or systems I describe many portions of one reality, many faces of one reality.

[...] In other words, though the ego was adopted originally by the inner self, and was a product of physical heredity and environment, it does not die; but its existence is changed from physical reality into electrical reality. [...]

[...] In the same manner do thoughts and emotions have the electric reality of which I have spoken. [...]

[...] Thoughts then appear in many guises within many systems, and once created cannot be withdrawn, and once set into motion cannot be stopped. [...]

[...] The other point that I wanted to make was that while your physical time, or clock time, has no overall basic reality, and is not a primary reality, that runs through various fields or systems, it is nevertheless an electromagnetic reality within your own system, for you have created it on mental terms.

[...] If it were a primary reality, you would not escape from it even in the sleeping state. Those realities which are primary and basic you can never escape from. This should give you an idea, for those realities which run through all systems, and which are primaries, are those which exist for you in all conditions of consciousness and under any circumstances.

Those realities however which appear only in certain stages of consciousness, are secondaries. This is perhaps one of the most important bits of information I have given you; for if you are bright enough, and I think that you are, then you have a yardstick by which to measure the nature of primary reality, from which all other manifestations are spun.

As you know therefore we have differentiated between an outer ego, who manipulates within physical reality, and an inner ego who directs the activities of the inner self. [...] In the main, the ego deals with secondary realities, and in the main, the inner ego deals with primaries.

[...] I’m typing Session 74l for “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] And by the realization that those feared threats are indeed imaginary, and self-created.

Ruburt might go on television for example 50 times—to be met by applause, acclaim and understanding, but in his reality, imaginatively, he would be met by scorn and derision. [...]

[...] I wouldn’t mind doing some work on the project when I finish “Unknown” Reality this weekend, along with other things in the works. [...]

[...] Each one of us is an immortal portion, a spark of endless perception and beauty and feeling — and yes, of conflict and denial at times — within this probable reality that we’re all creating together, even when we don’t know we’re doing it! I watch with awe as within this reality each one of us expresses as best we can our creative understanding of this wonderful mystery.

[...] Later, she helped me proofread the new editions of Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal Reality that Amber-Allen/New World Library has published. [...]

In 1993, I saw the culmination of three ventures that I’d been involved in for varying periods of time: Lynda Dahl and Stan Ulkowski, of Seth Network International, published the first quarterly issue of the newly expanded Seth-oriented magazine, Reality Change. [...]

[...] The disappointments you have faced indeed make such a tale seem to be a direct contradiction to life’s realities. [...] The child in you sensed more, of course: It sensed its own greater reality in another framework entirely, from which it had only lately emerged — yet with which it was intimately connected. It felt itself surrounded, then, by the greater realities of Framework 2.

[...] The child may know that the illness is the result of feelings that the parents would consider quite cowardly, or otherwise involves emotional realities that the parents simply would not understand. [...] Little by little the fine relationship, the precise connections between psychological feelings and bodily reality, erode.

They experiment very often, and quite secretly, since their elders are at the same time trying to make the children conform to a given concrete reality that is more or less already mass-produced for them.

[...] If they create “bogeymen,” then they can cause them to disappear also. [...]

There were other tales, some that have not come down to you, in which Adam and Eve were created together, and in a dream fell apart into the separate male and female. [...] The woman being created from his rib symbolized the necessary emergence, even from the new creature, of the intuitive forces that will always come forth — for without that development the race would not have attained self-consciousness in your terms.

[...] This is still being done in modern society, of course, when each child inherits the beliefs of its parents about the nature of reality. [...]

Philosophies that teach denial of the flesh must ultimately end up preaching a denial of the self and building a contempt for it, because even though the soul is couched in muscle and bone it is meant to experience that reality, not to refute it.

Give us a moment… Your sense perception, physically speaking, is a result of behavior on the part of organs that seem to you to have no reality outside of their relationship with you. [...] They work for you, allowing you to perceive physical reality.

[...] The physical matter of the planet is also composed of literally infinite hordes of consciousnesses — each experiencing its own reality while adding to the overall cooperative venture.

[...] Behind all realities there are mental states. [...]

[...] In this respect your thoughts and feelings “seed” physical reality, bringing forth materializations.

[...] It amounts to — amounts to — a unique state of existence by itself, in which you combine the elements of physical and nonphysical reality. It is almost a threshold between the two realities, and you learned to hold your physical intent long enough at that threshold so that you have a kind of brief attention span there, and use it to draw from nonphysical reality precisely those creative elements that you need. [...]

These portraits obviously have a biological reality. [...] Each one interacting with each other one helps form the psychological and physical reality of the species, so you are somehow involved in the formation of a multitudinous number of portraits. [...]

(Pause.) These portraits, however, are the result of creativity so inborn and miraculous that they are created automatically — an automatic art. [...]

[...] Its identity has traveled back and forth from physical to nonphysical reality too often as a matter of course.

[...] You will react, therefore, to all the information that you receive according to your conscious beliefs concerning the nature of reality. [...]

[...] Others will react to those according to their own ideas of reality. [...]

Either way the ideas of reality are reinforced both consciously and unconsciously, not only within the family but among all those with whom the family comes in contact.

[...] Reading this book, you may be able to point at friends or acquaintances and see clearly that their ideas are invisible beliefs which limit their experience — and yet be blind to your own invisible beliefs, which you take so readily as truth or characteristics of reality.

(I must have reached the point where I truly don’t think she wants anything but what she’s got — for after all, doesn’t each of us create our own reality? [...]

The intellect is extremely important in the manipulation of camouflage patterns once they are created. You have made your world, and your intellect should help you deal with what you have created. [...] However, I cannot say this too often: You are more than your conscious mind, much more, and the self which you do not admit happens to be the portion of yourself which not only insures your own survival in the physical universe which it has made, but which is also the connective portion of yourself with inner reality. Which is, when all is said and done, the only basic reality; and which also continually enables you to create these camouflage patterns, and which contains knowledge and intuitions and memories which you need in a most desperate manner if you are ever to understand yourselves, and if the race of mankind is ever to evolve to its fullest.

[...] It is however a fact that even mankind, in his blundering manner, will discover that he himself creates his own physical universe, and that the mechanisms of the physical body have more functions and varieties than he knows. [...] He creates when he dreams in a truer and less distorted fashion, and his physical world is much more the product of his dreaming self than it is of his waking state.

[...] And the part of himself that did teach him to see still guides his movements, still moves the muscles of his eyes, still becomes conscious despite him when he sleeps, still breathes for him without thanks, without recognition, and still carries on his task of transforming energy from an inner reality to an outer camouflage.

Because I say that you actually create the typical camouflage patterns of your own physical universe yourselves, by use of the inner vitality of the universe in the same manner that you form a pattern with your breath on a glass pane, I do not necessarily mean that you are the creators of the universe. [...]

In your theory of time however you believe yourselves bound to the road, do not realize that you have made it, and are unable to perceive other realities. [...] Since you are learning and can only handle so many perceptions, you have forgotten that you have created the road. [...]

(“Our perception of time is limited and we only focus on a fairly small portion of reality. [...] We’ve given up some of that intensity because we’ve taken on more reality, but next we’ll get both more intensity and reality together.”)

You understand the basic reality of subjective life. [...] You will not need to see thoughts materialized in physical matter, for you will have long since learned that the thoughts and not the matter are the basic reality. [...]

There are realities that are used no longer. [...] In your terms again there are incipient time structures and realities, probable systems that may or may not become a part of any mass venture.

[...] The third was a dream that gave me a startling glimpse into another kind of reality.

Ideas are mental transformations of energy by an entity into physical reality.

Idea constructions are transformations of ideas into physical reality.

Idea complexes are groups of ideas formed together like building blocks to form more complicated constructions in physical reality.

(10:48.) In that case, you see, there would be in another reality a carpenter or his equivalent with a latent love of words, unexpressed — and that individual would then begin to develop; reading books on how to write, perhaps, and taking up a hobby that would allow him to express in words his love of the land and its goods. [...] Therefore does it create the dimensions in which it then has its experiences.

To some extent you can actualize portions of your own unknown reality, and draw them into the experienced area of your life. [...] Now in terms of physical families and in larger terms of countries, there is a relationship between realities, which constantly change as the notes do. To some extent your reality is picked up by your contemporaries. [...]

[...] The impressions are for use in either “Unknown” Reality, Jane said, or in Psychic Politics.⁵ She grinned: “Thanks, Seth.” [...]

[...] But the song is being created from its beginning and its end simultaneously. [...]

[...] The mind actually becomes more itself, freer to use more of its abilities, allowed to stray from restricted areas, to assimilate, acknowledge and create.

[...] It is simply the reality in which many of my readers are involved. [...]

In such circumstances, there are not the great artificial divisions created between the two states of consciousness. [...]

[...] The conscious mind is often drugged with sleep just when it could be deriving its greatest benefits from the unconscious, and be able to poise most meaningfully in the reality that you know. [...]

[...] If you believe that you do indeed form your own reality, then you instantly come up against a whole new group of questions. [...] You create your own reality, or it is created for you. [...]

(Then in May 1978 Sue Watkins began helping me by typing the final manuscript for the session notes for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality. [...] Late that month — unbelievably to me — I finished my own work on Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality, and immediately began to type the final draft of the sessions; as I finished groups of sessions I mailed them to Tam every few days, while at the same time collaborating with Jane on the table of contents for the book. [...]

[...] On December 7 the copyedited manuscript for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality came; it’s more than 900 pages long, and painstakingly checking every word on every page of that book kept us busy until Christmas Eve; I mailed it to Tam on December 26. [...]

[...] That psyche has been emerging more and more in whatever guise it is allowed to as it seeks to express its vitality, its purpose and exuberance, and as it seeks out new contexts in which to express a subjective reality that finally spills over the edges of sterile beliefs.

The structure of reality, including all physical phenomena, is composed of mental energy, expanding in terms of psychological value fulfillment. In this sort of reality there can be no closed systems.

[...] A closed system is, in other words, the result of the limitations of the outward senses, whose nature it is to distinguish as a meaningful reality only one portion of an open infinite system.

The distinctions formed by the outer senses therefore actually limit perception as a whole, while intensifying it into a small but vivid, seemingly enclosed radius of reality. [...]

[...] I will not at this time discuss the deeper issue of one infinite and open system, although this is reality which has indeed theoretically no limitations. [...]

An expectation of danger will indeed create danger. An expectation of success will create success. [...]

As long as you believe this so will your expectations of reality become, in truth, reality. [...]

Expectation is the force, then, that triggers psychic realities into physical construction.

[...] Emotional power behind your expectations powers your expectations into physical reality.
