[...] Within your field, within your moral field, you must indeed strike out against that which appears evil to you.

You see perhaps havoc within the physical field, and this is indeed to be faced and dealt with, and set straight, as aid is given to the victims of a hurricane. But you are familiar only with the results of action as they appear within the physical field, as long as you insist upon viewing your physical universe with the eyes of the ego-self; for the ego-self attempts to cut itself off from that action of which it is a part, and in so attempting it loses contact with this larger reality.

[...] As we exist within various fields we focus upon these roles to the exclusion of much else.

If all men could learn to love, in terms of which I have spoken, then there would be no need for any kind of punishment within your field, and the word would vanish from your vocabulary. [...]

These coordinates are simply points where other fields of reality come into contact. [...]

The personality does indeed turn its focus into another field of reality, and does desert the camouflage image that it maintained. [...]

Consciously, you are able to focus within, understand, and gain development in, one field of reality at a time. [...]

[...] Consciously you work with what you call a one-reality field psychological structure. [...]

It is almost impossible to explain clearly, through the use of words, this massive complexity, for all fields of activity are self-generating. Even the dream field is self-generating. [...]

[...] Indeed, the ego is that portion of the personality which is plunged into a specific and intense preoccupation with a given field of action or dimension.

[...] Because there is always action within action, and because of the three dilemmas of which we have spoken earlier, the new personalities projected outward into other fields of perception, or other moment points, these other personalities in turn create new ones, and the cycle is again repeated.

[...] The perspectives and psychic relationships that make up the human personality simply could not have resulted through action within your field alone. [...]

The soul can be considered as an electromagnetic energy field, of which you are part. It is a field of concentrated action when you consider it in this light — a powerhouse of probabilities or probable actions, seeking to be expressed; a grouping of nonphysical consciousnesses that nevertheless knows itself as an identity. [...]

Now it is difficult to explain to you how direct experience actually works, for it exists — a total field of perception, innocent of the physical clues such as color, size, weight, and sense, with which your physical perceptions are clothed.

Now your physical body is a field of energy with a certain form, however, and when someone asks you your name, your lips speak it — and yet the name does not belong to the atoms and molecules in the lips that utter the syllables. [...]

[...] And yet now where in this electromagnetic energy field can the identity of the soul as such be found?

The father is mainly finished with the physical field. [...]

[...] This is an electromagnetic sequence or action that will eventually help provide the impetus for projection of the whole self into another field of actuality, as the rate of acceleration increases and becomes more unified.

[...] You realize of course that the atoms and molecules within the physical image continually change during existence on the physical field. [...]

In actuality this retention is mental, a mental attraction to other mental actions or personalities; but this attraction, while mental, still projects in certain fashions into the physical field. [...]

The physical material, it is true, makes the consciousness effective within a particular field. [...] As individualized psychic energy approaches your particular field it begins to express itself within that field to the best of its ability.

[...] His own interests propel him in this direction, and because of the way in which we are working together, it is advantageous for him to become acquainted with as much knowledge in a number of fields as he is capable of assimilating. [...]

[...] It is the passing through of these personality patterns, within a certain field of organization that causes the appearance of both fairly rigid material which then seems to change.

There are laws that we will get into later, involving the strength or force of energy as it passes through various fields, and is perceived in them. [...]

[...] The conscious is the furthest reach, the outer radius of the primary field. Emanations from this field continue, traveling further, projecting energy that is transformed as you know into matter; and in a simplified version of your universe perceived in terms of such force fields, you would have seemingly endless atoms and molecules spinning about the nucleus, or an endless variety of such patterns that would appear on first appraisal random to an observer from another field.

[...] The smallest imaginable particle gives evidence of that basic unity of energy adopting form, materializing the camouflage pattern necessary for efficient manipulation within your universe, that is composed of diverse but interwoven fields of apparent, semi-apparent, or unapparent activities and correlations. [...]

Electromagnetic fields perceived and used within your system have their origin elsewhere. [...]

(The last few paragraphs of the above material we thought to be an elaboration of Seth’s rather cryptic statement in the 97th session, page 72, to the effect that in some respects all planes or fields of existence are indeed by-products of others.

Action is basically electrical, but within your field only the most obvious forms of electrical action have been perceived. In this one respect your technology has let you down, but the electrical manifestations of which I speak could not even be searched for, or anticipated within your physical field, until the reality of man’s psychic nature began to make itself known. [...]

[...] Within the physical field these perceivable symbols are composed of matter, which is a conglomeration of atoms and molecules. [...]

[...] Motion is the type of action with which you are most familiar, but motion attains its importance within the physical field only because of your particular outer senses. [...]

[...] Their laws concerning action and force will only apply within the physical field.

These EE units also operate as fields, as waves, or as particles, as the units of consciousness do—but in your terms they are closer to physical orientation. [...] There are literally numberless steps taken before EE units combine in their own fashion to form the most microscopic physical particles, and even here the greatest, gentlest sorting-out process takes place as these units disentangle themselves at certain operational levels (underlined) from their own greater fields of “information,” to specialize in the various elements that will allow for the production of atoms and molecules impeccably suited to your kind of world.

Dictation: This inner universe (pause) is a gestalt formed by fields of awareized energy that contains what we will call “information” for now—but we will have some comments later, for this is not the kind of information you are used to.

[...] Behind all that was the brilliant comprehension and cooperation of all of the units of consciousness that go to compose the body, each adding its own information and specific knowledge to the overall bodily organizations, and each involved in the most intricate fields of relationships, for the miracle of the body’s efficiency is the result of relationships that exist among all of its parts, connecting it to other levels of existence that do not physically appear.

[...] In those terms (underlined), each portion of physically oriented consciousness sees reality and experience from its own privileged viewpoint, about which it seems all else revolves, even though this may involve a larger generalized field than your own, or a smaller one.

Its general field of awareness however is much larger than any with which you are familiar, and he has a greater control and focus within this larger generalized field than you possess in your comparable generalized field of perception. [...]

[...] He has told us we could never cover even a portion of the numberless fields bordering even our own; some will be explained as they impinge upon our own in various ways; Seth also has mentioned his own ability to travel through a few other fields. [...]

[...] At the fringes of my field of vision I saw that the face containing these magnificent eyes was quite hairy, covered by long black shining hair almost as though I was visualizing a throwback to more primitive man. [...]

First of all, you understand from our discussions concerning planes and fields in general, that these are more multitudinous than you can imagine. [...]

[...] The energy that composes the smallest or any physical unit, passes through the physical field where the outer senses can no longer perceive it. Some, and a large amount, of this energy passes through the physical field so that you do not perceive it at all, taking form that you do not distinguish, and that cannot be harnessed on the physical level. [...]

[...] In the past I spoke briefly of pulsations, as atoms and molecules were transformed from one energy plane to another, becoming visible to the material field. [...]

[...] It is composed of individualized psychic energy, capable of amassing about itself only a minimum of physical materialization; and yet it is extremely necessary, for it is a first stepping stone of psychological energy into the physical field.

[...] All energy is basically self-activating, but different energy potentials are required for effective utilization in various electromagnetic fields.

[...] You, any human being, represent a capability, an attraction, an electrical field of great intensity that is capable of efficiently acting as a unit within the physical field.

[...] The self that you are, in a basic sense, is the self that you were in past instances within this existence, the self or series of selves that you were in previous existences within the physical field, and also the myriad selves that you are now, in various perception experiences unknown to the ego.

You may also be part of a self operating within other fields, and operating also within another system of units. [...]

This gives us the creation of new inner selves, and all this is of electrical composition, and you should recall the information given you concerning the manner in which electrical fields are formed.

As it forms new fields of activity then, it increases its own ability for such renewal. The fields themselves are energy potentials. [...]

[...] The inner energy of which we have spoken constantly renews itself, and recharges itself as it passes from one field of activity to another.

[...] It creates itself in multitudinous forms, which then re-create fields, replenish each other. [...]

[...] You know that all action is basically mental action, as fields replenish each other. [...]

All of this data is instantly available to layers of the self, and only the ego is not aware of this field. [...] Now, this field of probabilities has existed in your past, and formed your present.

This probable field seeds many other systems beside the one physical system with which you are familiar. The probable field is strongly composed of thought images, not physically materialized, but extremely vivid and actual storehouses of energy. [...]

[...] She told F. Fell copy for the ESP field is hard to write without experience in the field.

The field of probable events exists as a reality. [...]

So the whole self turns various portions of its whole consciousness on or off, according to the field in which the whole self is endeavoring to make contact, manipulations, and according to the field in which he is endeavoring to project himself.

[...] When I speak, therefore, of primary constructions in the physical field, other fields of course have their own primary constructions also, though they would not be composed of matter in your terms.

[...] In your physical field value fulfillment consists of the development of the ability of the immaterial to express itself within the physical field.

[...] It is, nevertheless, attempted, and is a necessary physical adjunct to constructions in your field. [...]

[...] There is a field that combines both perceiver and perceived event, a communication and a system of similarities set up between them. [...] The field reaches out from you, say, as a self, to all the things that you perceive —and physical time does not enter in.

This highly intricate web or field obviously reaches out from you as a self to all the persons you perceive, and you also participate in the same sort of web, projecting outward from the other individuals. [...]

[...] This does not mean that any one field or plane is more valid than another. The closest field or plane is that one that you create, that you call the dream world, and that you imagine to be unsubstantial, impermanent, fleeting, having no reality except during your own contact with it.

The chemical and electrical construction of the human individual opens other pathways, and requires other activities in other fields than those with which the conscious ego is familiar. The mechanics are not important, but as dreaming is partially caused by chemical poisons that make dreaming a necessity for physical survival, so there are other mechanisms of this kind that are actually doorways, built within and natural to the physical mechanism, that at the same time necessitate experience upon other fields of reality.

[...] One is a conceptual energy force reality which is much more than some theoretical world of ideas, but a reality in which individual energy is used in a constant manipulation of idea or concepts into constructions that, while not physical in your terms, is nevertheless a vivid and actual, concrete field of manipulated and applied force in which matter may be, but is not always, an end result.

[...] He is aware of light and shadow, of shape and form, though he must learn to distinguish these portions from the available field of reality that you accept as objects, from the available field that you do not accept as objects.

[...] In a large sense he begins to train himself to focus only upon what you would call physical reality, though he still partially perceives other fields that you do not accept. [...]

These possibilities then become actualities within the dream field. They exist as surely as they would if he acted in the same manner within the physical field. [...] They exist as reality within another field of actuality.

[...] You perceive, in other words, only that part of an action which is projected into your own physical field, and this element you call the natural consequence of the original act.

[...] For our visitor’s edification, dreams are created by each individual, and given actual molecular structure and reality, within a different field than the one with which you are usually familiar.

When he dreamed the dream, and chose this possibility as the solution to his problems, he had already subconsciously chosen which event he would construct within the physical field.

[...] She saw cultivated fields to the back and left of this building. Beyond this were high overgrown fields, she said, with a river or stream beyond that. [...]

[...] There are several fields in which you would do well—and acting is one where you would speak as well as write the words, you see. (Pause.) You may be appalled, but you would do well as a salesman, connected with public relations and business; that is, some of your abilities would serve you well in these fields.

[...] You came to and wandered through fields at night on a far side of the monastery, and came to what seems to have been a body of water.

If you stay in your present field you can do very well indeed, working up to rather high positions. [...]
