“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In any given historical period, one religious drama may finally emerge as the exterior representation, but there will also be many minor dramas, “projections,” that do not entirely take. [...] Any of them could supersede the actual exterior drama. [...]

A good relationship between you frees repressed emotion on both of your parts, which then pours over into your work and illuminates all of your interior and exterior landscapes both symbolically and literally.

The overall emotional tone or feeling-level of masses of people, through their body connections with the environment, brings about the exterior physical conditions that initiate such an onslaught of natural energy. [...] Your collective feelings affect the flow of energy and their force — in terms of natural phenomena — can be seen quite clearly in a thunderstorm, which is the exteriorized local materialization of the inner emotional state of the people experiencing the storm.

As your conscious beliefs determine your bodily condition, and as your body is maintained at an unconscious level (though in line with your beliefs), so natural catastrophes are the result of the beliefs that give rise to emotional states which are then automatically transformed into exterior atmospheric conditions.

These were all exterior versions of his inner spiritual journeys, for he now looked to nature for support, sustenance, and strength. [...]

[...] He began to understand, however, that more could be offered, that the inner realities of mind, in some fashion, caused the exterior realities of experience. [...]

Science delegates the world of nature as the realm of exterior natural events. [...]

[...] Science perceived the spectacular complexity of exterior reality, but turned its sights completely away from any recognition — any at all — until it regarded subjectivity itself as a mere throw-away product, accidentally formed by a mindless matter.

[...] That inner world, and the exterior one, intersect and interweave. [...]

[...] There is as much motion, stimulation, and reaction in the interior bodily environment as the body meets through its encounters with the exterior environment. [...]

[...] There are decisions made in periods of time so brief you cannot imagine them—reactions that are almost over before they begin, reactions so fast you cannot perceive them as the body responds to its inner reality, and to all the stimuli from the exterior environment. [...]

[...] Ruburt has no exterior framework to judge his subjective experience against, for even when he was in the church his experience did not fit the mold.

[...] Once again, of course, there were no guides in the exterior world, and the two of you determined to explore the nature of reality to the best of your abilities. [...]

[...] Instead moment points are experienced fully, developments opening simultaneously, and “events” are recognized as psychic and psychological happenings not necessarily connected with any exterior circumstance.

In some systems therefore exterior camouflage is not needed.

[...] Man learned to fly as he tried to exteriorize inner experience, for in out-of-body states in dreams he had long been familiar with flight. All excursions into outer reality come as the psyche attempts to reproduce in any given “exterior” world the inner freedom of its being.

[...] (Intently:) When you so alter that focus, however, you also change the exterior reality that you then experience.

[...] On the other it was part of his method, a way of intensifying focus, increasing perception in a small area while also ensuring safety, so that inner excursions would be balanced by [conditions in his exterior environment] … He sees that the challenge has been won, and now it is time to take up the next one, to apply the power of the will to certain physical areas.

In such cases the dilemma is projected outside of the self and seen as an exterior condition which can be manipulated. [...]

Since the source is not understood, no exterior manipulation in the social structure will be effective enough, and the person involved will see the problem personified in every issue. [...]

[...] All of this may sound exotic to some of you, and be only too real to others, but any time that you assign elements of your experience to exterior sources, you are really doing the same thing that Dineen did.

[...] That activity provides you with all exterior phenomena.

All elements of the interior invisible environment work together, and they form the temporal weather patterns that are exteriorized mental states, presenting you locally and en masse, then, with a physical version of man’s emotional states. [...]

[...] Logic deals with exterior conditions, with cause-and-effect relationships. [...]

[...] The physical patterns are of course the results of inner ones, but the deliberate breaking of a physical pattern serves as a physical example that those patterns can indeed be broken, and helps break the exterior hypnotizing effects of continued repetitious action of a given kind.

[...] You can turn on television and see a drama, but the inward mobility and experience of your psyche is mysteriously enfolded within all of those exterior gestures that allow you to turn on the television switch to begin with, and to make sense of the images presented. [...]

[...] Yet there is indeed an inner commerce that occurs, and as the exterior continents rise from the inner structure of the earth, so the lands of the psyche emerge from an even greater invisible source.

[...] You possess an unconscious environment, a given psychological world attuned to the physical one, and your learning takes place in it subjectively even as objectively you learn exterior manipulation.

When children dream, they utilize these inner senses as adults do, and then through dreaming they learn to translate such material into the precise framework of the exterior senses. [...]

[...] The exterior core of dreams is also blemished to that degree, but the inner core of dreams provides a constant new influx of material, feedback, and insight from the psyche, so that the personality is not at the mercy of its exterior experience only — not confined to environmental feedback only, but ever provided with fresh intuitive data and direction.

[...] The body would then cease reacting to such stress, and almost immediately the exterior situation itself would be altered.

[...] You will always try to correlate your ideas with exterior experience. [...]

You know the importance of exterior sound. [...]

Inner sounds have an even greater effect than exterior ones upon your body. [...]

[...] As always, I say that the answers lie within yourself, not in the exterior world.

(10:09.) Clues may indeed be found there, however, because the exterior conditions mirror so perfectly your inner, individual and mass experience.

The Christ drama is a case in point, where private and mass dreams were then projected outward into the historical context of time, and then reacted to in such a way that various people became exterior participants — but in a far larger mass dream that was then interpreted in the most literal of physical terms. [...]

“Because dreams are such a perfect combination of stimuli from the inner environment and the exterior environment, other events are often used to trigger inner dream messages, just as the opposite occurs. [...]

[...] (In a recent issue of Time magazine.) Such unfoldings always occur from within, responding to signals not from the exterior but from the interior environment.

Old negative patterns of thought, always present beneath an exterior optimism, had gone unrecognized by him, and were like a thorn in his side. [...]
