“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

—and evidently some minds do work in such ways that anything not rooted in the “objective, external” world literally does not exist; this orientation includes the belief, the “fact,” that even all thinking or feeling is so related to that outsideness, or is so a part of it, that there is no separation possible.

[...] This proved to be the end of the session. I suggested to Jane that she train herself to focus upon external objects while doing things like getting up and down, that had bothered her. [...]

In the past, with few exceptions, attempts have been made to change the external situation. [...]

[...] We were NEVER externalized!’ These words do little to explain my emotional, subjective feelings of participation in this idea. [...]

[...] Not only is consciousness to be focused to the external reality, but within those limits it is still further harnessed toward certain specific goals. [...]

[...] Religion per se, however, is always the external facade of inner reality. [...]

[...] The further religious drama of which I have spoken, in your terms still to come, represents another stage in both the internal and external dramas in which the emergent ego becomes aware of much of its heritage. [...]

[...] He will emerge as an eternal hero in the external religious drama, as the inner self is the eternal hero of the interior religious drama.

[...] Traveling can be external, but you can travel around the world and go nowhere and you can sit in your chair and travel beyond the universe, so do not be taken in by conventional habits of thought regardless of which conventions the patterns follow. [...]

Now this inner drama cannot be understood by the ego, and so it is projected outward into external reality. [...]

[...] In this same framework, as the exterior drama begins to fade and as it has left meaning, in your terms, only now as time seems to pass, then once again the interior drama arises, but this time with a new story, with a different god and with new prophets; and as the old weakens so the new interior drama begins once more to arouse man from within his dreams, and again they choose and someone appears, or two or three, and a new drama is projected into external reality. [...]

[...] Here man attempts to externalize a division he feels within himself, individually. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The ego can use the conscious mind almost entirely as a way of perceiving external or internal realities that coincide with its own beliefs. [...]

Relying upon such external perceptions therefore, communication between members of various systems would be relatively impossible. [...]

[...] Individually and en masse, and to the extent that our human systems of perception make it possible, our species has created a world and universe built upon a very limited, repetitious creation and interpretation of internal and external data. [...]

[...] She’d heard the recorder turn itself off some ten minutes ago, but no other external sounds.

[...] While external stimuli are highly important, the inner stimuli of dream play are even more so.

[...] Jane and I want a sane world, in ordinary terms, and we want the freedom to explore every internal and external facet of that world. [...]

A nation which pursues this course is like one individual who primarily follows a strictly “objective, male,” externally oriented path in terms of your Western understanding. [...]

The emotional charge provides the pattern, and the impetus for creation, and in the York Beach affair and like situations, it provides for the actual projection or externalization itself. [...]

The universe did not originate from what you like to think of as an external, objectified source. [...]

[...] With practice you can become as intuitively aware of your internal physical environment, as [of] your external physical environment.

External affairs involving Ruburt’s book will of themselves bring about a renewed physical vigor shortly. [...]
