[...] In your terms, a reincarnational self can be aware of your environment, and interact sometimes through your own relationships.

Because time is open-ended, as you think of it, you can also affect what you would think of as past reincarnational selves, and at times react in and to their environment. [...]

[...] I had thought of specifically having the first part deal with inner and outer immediate environments, and then to lead to the larger reality of the soul and its perception in the second part. [...]

[...] There, if you believe in demons, you will see them — without ever realizing that they are part of the environment of your psyche, formed by your beliefs, and thrown out as mirages over a very real environment that you do not perceive. [...]

[...] Those travelers no longer tried to make their own original snapshots of the strange environments and realities through which they passed. [...]

[...] That picture, however, would vary considerably from one taken by an inhabitant of your planet in a different part of the world, and in a different environment.

[...] It has a valid basis — an environment that you all accept, in which certain experiences are possible.

[...] As you come into your body with all of its physical surroundings, so at birth do you emerge into a rich natural psychological environment in which beliefs and ideas are every bit as real.

As you become more proficient at using your conscious mind, then of course you examine the beliefs that surround you, even as you question and often move out of your native environment. [...]

[...] The lines drawn between the self and what is nonself, between an organism and its environment, are highly arbitrary on your part. [...] These combine what you diversify, so that you have hidden psychological values or psychological beings that combine the properties of the environment and the properties of selfhood in other combinations than those you know.

[...] Instead you included such cousins of consciousness into your midst, accepting a kind of comradeship—for to some extent at least you could see the different versions of humanity that resulted from a change of focus, an adjacent affiliation of humanized energy with the environment. [...]

[...] He sensed these cousins of consciousness in one way or another—these environments that seemed real but not real, these further extensions of possible experience—and he decided that he must be very cautious: He must be prudent (long pause), he must take his time, he must range but carefully—and certainly to some extent such feelings cut down upon his spontaneity.

[...] Consciousness forms the environment. The environment itself is conscious (forcefully). Atoms and molecules themselves operate in their own fields of probabilities. [...]

[...] Species were thought to change, and “mutants” form, because of a previous alteration in the environment, to which any given species had to adjust or disappear. [...]

[...] Those cells that now compose your own bodies have combined and discombined many times to form other portions of the natural environment.

[...] In this environment and in physical reality, you are learning...you are supposed to be learning...that your thoughts have reality and that you create the reality that you know. [...]

[...] And do you not already feel hampered within the environment in which you have spent so much time? [...]

[...] and realizing that there is more within every environment than each small room that you see. [...]

[...] In this environment and in physical reality, you are learning—you are supposed to be learning—that your thoughts have reality and that you create the reality that you know. [...]

[...] And do you not already feel hampered within the environment in which you have spent so much time? [...]

[...] To do this, follow the directions that I have given, but also get in the habit of looking about you morning, noon and night—and realizing that there is more within every environment than each small room that you see. [...]

[...] In fact it will help you, for even hidden within the flesh are mechanisms that [will] help the inner senses [to] operate even in this environment. [...] I want you to learn to manipulate in that environment. [...] I want you to recognize the core of identity within yourselves that is familiar with this inner environment, for from your viewpoint other realities also open. [...]

[...] In your dreaming existence your physical environment is replaced by your dream environment. You react to both environments whenever you are concentrated within them. [...]

[...] Your physical environment and conditions are a mirror of your own basic conceptions of reality. If the environment changes it is because your inner conceptions have changed, and no smallest alteration is made within physical reality, that has not first been made within the inner self.

Now I have told you time and time again, my friends, that you construct your physical universe and your private environment in line with your inner expectations, for they mirror perfectly the deepest areas of your own inner reality.

[...] And the bargain is, that you will not use your intellects fully so that you can manipulate more comfortably in your own environment. Now, I hope to show you that you can use your intellects fully and still operate more effectively in your environment. [...]

[...] For when you are born again, then you must completely readjust and learn to operate in a strange and alien environment. [...]

[...] In such a way one tree in a forest knows of the entire environment and its relationship in it. [...]

[...] The idealized earth version is not meant to mean a perfect self in flesh at all; instead, it represents a psychic reality in which your own abilities fulfill themselves in relationship with your earthly environment to the fullest extent possible, within the time and place you have already chosen.

[...] Again, on deep biological levels beneath normal consciousness, and on psychic levels above normal consciousness, you are aware of the integrity of your being — but also of your great connection, while living in flesh, with the natural environment of time and space. [...]

[...] You accept dietary limitations—say a limited environment of food—rather than the limitations earlier felt in motion. The exterior environment opens up. Oftentimes the previously withheld normal aggression now can be legitimately expressed—against the food companies, the technological environment, the medical profession, and so forth.

The cells and molecules, forming their psychic gestalt into a particular human physical structure, are separated from what you might call the outer environment, and yet they are also connected to the outer environment more than they are separated from it. [...]

Chemically in particular, the dependence of the physical body and the self to the planetary environment is obvious. It is known to your scientists that the chemical relationship between the personal physical self, and the chemical environment of the not-self is intimately connected.

[...] You have not learned to venture forth from an arbitrarily designated selfhood, into an extended environment that knows no space or time. [...]

[...] It is a feeling almost as though the limb could dissolve or merge into a warm environment that was enveloping it.

[...] They try desperately to control themselves and their environment against what seems to be a raging, spontaneous mass of primitive impulses from within, and against a mindless, chaotic, ancient force of nature. [...]

[...] Many such simple actions show a stereotyped kind of behavior that results from a desperate need to gain control over oneself and the environment.

In the most simple of terms, you are deciding upon the environment. [...]

[...] You are at a meeting ground in that respect, where individuals from many probable realities mix and merge, agreeing momentarily to accept certain portions of the same space-time environment.

[...] Any wildflower on our mountain ledge (see the 728th session) will view the valley below from its own perspective, and see stretched about it the environment with which it is familiar. [...]

Unimaginable differences would be present if those posies could see the same environment of the year before, and all of the minute variations that you ignore would be gigantic; different enough indeed so that at their level the flowers might think that a different kind of reality was involved. [...]

[...] In ways impossible to verbalize, they are also aware of the environment of the body as it is perceived at biological levels. [...] “Programmed” genetic activity can be altered by conditions in the environment.

Particularly in your own species there is a great give-and-take between human genetic systems, the environment, and cultural events—and by cultural events I mean events having to do with your peculiarly unique field of activity that includes the worlds of politics, economics, and so forth.

Nor do I think that establishment science will soon be interested in Seth’s ideas that exchanges take place involving our genetic systems, the environment, and cultural events like politics and economics; or that our genetic systems react to our thoughts and emotions—let alone that there’s any genetic planning for future probabilities! [...]

[...] At the same time members of the species had to cope with the natural environment as did any other animal. [...]

The early acquiescence to beliefs has a biological importance, therefore, but as the conscious mind attains its maturity it is also natural for it to question those beliefs, and to assess them in relation to its own environment. [...]

[...] There is always a give and take between the individual and the mass system of beliefs in which he has chosen his environment.

[...] At least you would be perfecting what you have, and taking steps within that framework, freely redecorating creatively, changing your environment instead of squawking while staying. [...]

[...] Besides, you took what were at times timely measures in physical terms—direct terms—to better your environment. [...]

3. Definite direct physical encounter with your environment. [...]

[...] In these centers there are certain classes in which instruction is given for the benefit of those who chose to return to the physical environment.

These after-death environments do not exist necessarily on other planets. [...]

[...] These environments exist unperceived by you amid the physical world that you know. [...]
