Now there is some sense of jealousy in the family over the child that the child senses and this, also, has to do with his sense of hesitation in speech. [...]

[...] The inner self is quite strong enough to face your own emotions and the emotions of others. [...]

[...] Beyond that feel yourself at one with All That Is, but retain the sense of your own ‘I’ identity. [...]

[...] When you are ready to let your tension disperse, and when the inner you is ready to speak, then I will speak to you. [...]

Men sense fear. [...] For your individual integrity, you must be willing to jeopardize present financial security; and if you are willing to do this, these men will sense that they cannot sway you, and they will accept your terms in the main.

[...] Philip’s most personal inner image, the primary inner image, is of a single, free, independent male.

[...] You have not completely introduced your inner image, but only hinted at it, so that to her it is secondary and unreal, when she is faced by actual events in which you behave as the inner image, she is bewildered, confused, and imagines that you are demented.

I am glad that at least Ruburt seems merry, since Philip is obviously in such low inner spirits.

[...] The inner self operates as a relay station, as a reference point for the various seemingly disconnected selves. It is only through contact with the inner self that knowledge of the whole self can be found.

[...] 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.

[...] I wanted to make it clear that the self at any moment, while being no one thing, being indeed a series of simultaneous happenings, so to speak, is however far from meaningless, containing within it full inner comprehension of its various portions.

[...] The inner self also changes, but it is also that which changes itself. [...]

“She sees herself supported in a religious sense by conventional figures from the Bible. These personalities will explain the nature of reality to her in vocabulary that will make sense to her. [...]

[...] Lives in various religious capacities, but without the necessary sense of responsibility; unfortunately taking advantage of the fortunes made available to the ruling classes through the ages. [...] Only in this present existence is there finally some understanding, and sense of responsibility. [...]

[...] Time as you experience it is an illusion caused by your own physical senses. [...] The physical senses can only perceive reality a little bit at a time, and so it seems to you that one moment exists and is gone forever, and the next moment comes and like the one before also disappears.

“In two other lives, there was instead the development of inner abilities to the exclusion of others, a closing down of windows and barring of doors. [...] Yet through all of this, the inner abilities did grow. [...]

[...] To some extent or another, however, the child in you remembers a certain sense of mastery only half realized, of power nearly grasped, then seemingly lost forever — and a dimension of existence in which dreams quite literally came true. 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. [...]

The tale has always appealed to children because they recognize the validity behind it.² The fairy godmother is a creative personification of the personalized elements in Framework 2 — a personification therefore of the inner ego, that rises to the aid of the mortal self to grant its desires, even when the intents of the mortal self may not seem to fit into the practical framework of normal life. When the inner ego responds in such a fashion, even the commonplace, ordinary, seemingly innocuous circumstances suddenly become charged with a new vitality, and appear to “work for” the individual involved. [...]

[...] His natural impulses naturally lead him toward the development of his body and mind, and he is aware of a cushioning effect and support as he acts in accordance with those inner impulses. [...]

[...] He is therefore a victim, and his sense of personal power is eroded.

[...] The inner senses are the portion of you that can be used with confidence to perceive these other realities. Now you should reread the material on the inner senses and all of you should learn what they are and how to use them!

[...] That recording, to some extent, maligns the subconscious and the inner self. [...]

[...] You must simply learn to use your inner eyesight—a different kind of eye—a different kind of vision. [...]

[...] You can indeed feel a sense of recognition and familiarity. [...]

Thus far I have rather frequently mentioned the state of grace (in the 636th session in Chapter Nine, for instance), because while it has many dimensions it is, practically speaking, the cause of your sense of well-being and accomplishment. [...] Each of you may put the following in your own terms, but often it may seem as if your conscience tells you that you have “fallen out of grace,” and that some inner, mysterious, joyous sense of support no longer sustains you. [...]

[...] It will not solve inner problems. [...]

[...] If the proper inner attitude is maintained, such massage can be of good value. [...]

[...] It was an advantage that you remembered the dream consciously for this inner sense implies a strong advancement on your part. [...]

[...] He did not give much, but he gave, and he gave because any religion must pay tribute to the inner knowledge of the self and the true inner knowledge does not come in through the front door. [...]

[...] Now that is also an important element of the dream, you were not content, you see, to stay within the environment and you did feel an inner terror to be so imprisoned. [...]

[...] In your case you used religious terms in which to couch it and ease the inner self. [...]

There are inner meeting places, then, interior “places” that serve as points of inner commerce and communication. [...]

Art is as much a science, in the truest sense of the word, as biology is. [...]

[...] The trouble is that many in the sciences do not comprehend that there is an inner reality. [...]

[...] Almost anyone can become a satisfied and productive amateur in this art-science; but its true fulfillment takes years of training, a strong sense of purpose, and a dedication — as does any true vocation.

In any state of dissociation any individual is more sensitive to inner data. [...] In an intimate gathering of close friends, if a few glasses of wine are drunk, and if Ruburt happens to then be increasingly aware of inner data, there is not anything out of the way in holding a session, if this happens only occasionally. [...]

[...] He was also emotionally and intuitively attuned because of his father’s visit, and in an inner state of irritability, meaning excitability, which often accompanies dissociation. There is an outer aloofness, but an inner sensitivity to different stimuli.

[...] Seemed no effort at all to walk, completely effortless, as if there was no resistance at all to overcome; no sense of muscular motion for example. Fabulous sense of well-being; of floating along the street. [...]

[...] It is simply that he becomes vulnerable, or more sensitive, to inner data in a dissociated state, regardless of what causes the state to come about.

[...] There was a funny sense of inner shifting. [...]

“More on The Dream Body, Inner Senses and Projection”

[...] In the first form, you usually use certain inner senses. [...]

[...] Suppose that you suddenly understand the concept of oneness with the universe, and that this inner sensing of concepts is to be used. [...]

(Very long pause.) As his abilities grew, however, of course he sensed the outlines of other realities, the glimmerings of other worlds. 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. [...]

[...] These few statements, however, will help him, and help him enlarge on an inner circle of acquaintanceship with friendly colleagues that belong in those other categories, but are indeed friendly colleagues as well. [...]

That inner, all-pervasive existence becomes known to the extent that you grow more responsive to your own inner environment. [...] They are as much a part of your inner environment as trees are of your exterior world. [...]

[...] This has been carried to an extreme, you see: Often you are so disconnected from those inner workings that your own decisions then appear to come from someplace else. [...]

New paragraph (as Seth often declares). When you identify with only one particular level of your thought processes, however, the others — when you sense them — appear alien. [...]

[...] In a sense they are different people now than they were when “Unknown” Reality was begun (some 14 months ago). However, many of my readers are also different people now than they were when they began to read this work.

[...] Many people phase in and out of that state without being aware of it, and others are able to keep track of their own “inner drifting.” Here, simple daydreaming represents a slight shift of awareness out of directly given sense data.

[...] Gradually you will discover that this inner sense data will become clearer and clearer as you move toward another “station.” [...]

Try to experience all of your present sense data as fully as you can. [...] You experience an immediate sense of power because your abilities are directed to the fullest of their capacities. [...]

[...] Instead, the trick is to view the contents of the world in different fashions, to free your physical senses from the restraints that your mental conventions have placed upon them.

[...] There is at least a possibility that you and Ruburt, using your own individual inner senses, may at times perceive different aspects of a given situation, and that the individual perceptions will enable you to achieve a greater knowledge of a specific, or any specific, happening than either of you separately could achieve. [...]

[...] It is of great benefit that perceptions from the inner senses do not remain in the subconscious but become available to the intellect, and I will go into this at a future date.

The dramas themselves do express certain inner realities, and they serve as surface reminders to those who do not trust direct experience with the inner self. [...] Christ spoke in terms of the father and son because in your terms, at that time, this was the method used — the story he told to explain the relationship between the inner self and the physically-alive individual. [...]

Before, the environment was effortlessly created and perceived by man and all other living things, knowing the nature of their inner unity. In order to begin this new venture, it was necessary to pretend that this inner unity did not exist. [...] So it seemed that all bridges must be cut, while of course it was only a game because the inner reality always remained. [...]

The ego feared for its position, frightened that it would dissolve back into the inner self from which it came. Yet in its emergence it provided the inner self with a new kind of feedback, a different view not only of itself; but through this, the inner self was able to glimpse possibilities of development of which it had not previously been aware. [...]

Such religious dramas focus, direct, and, hopefully, clarify aspects of inner reality that need to be physically represented. [...] Religion per se, however, is always the external facade of inner reality. [...]

The inner senses to some extent will allow you to perceive the reality of inner existence, and Ruburt incidentally in this new development is involved with the use of these inner senses in a more effective manner than before. [...] This gives Ruburt a feeling of strangeness as he makes inner adjustments.

The laws of the universe, of the inner universe, for example, are not laws in some book. [...] They are attempts to explain in words the nature of the inner reality that forms All That Is. [...]

(In here Jane said she had visual inner images, as of stars being born, etc.— attempts, she thought, to put the inner data into recognizable visual terms.)

[...] She felt she knew the reasons for the improvement—her new commitment, sense of direction, etc., all parts of her “inside and outside,” she said. [...]

[...] When you are working with your consciousness, as you did this evening, you become aware of the inner symbols in your own mind. [...]

I want all of you to become aware of this inner mobility of consciousness. [...]

[...] The birth of the inner self. [...]

[...] It gives you suspense and Ruburt would say it gives you a great story line and while you are reading the story, however, you are automatically taking in the inner truths that are within it whether or not you are consciously aware of what you are doing. [...]

You can perceive the moment’s reality as it exists for your intestine, or your hand; and experience, with practice, the present inner peace and commotion that exist simultaneously within your physical body. This brings a great appreciation and wonder, a sense of unity with the living corporeal material of which you are physically composed. [...]

A dark and largely brooding inner landscape should alert you, so that you begin immediately to change it. [...] If so, however, by examining the inner landscape of thoughts, you would find the source here that initially brought about the physical ailment. [...]

[...] When you listen to music that you like, when you are indulging in an enjoyable quiet pursuit, you can sense the different feeling. [...]

[...] As a rule, it is still physically oriented, in that the abilities are usually directed toward the inner perception and manipulation of matter or physical environment. [...]

[...] All probabilities spring from inner reality, from the psyche’s own inner activity and structure. [...]

The great latent-but-always-sensed dimensions of spiritualized creaturehood will then begin to flower. A few great men have glimpsed those abilities, comma, and their love of the race and their integrity had caused them to trigger the unused portions of the brain.² In their way they sensed the great probable future and its ramifications.

[...] In the beginning the glimpses may be very brief, and the sense experience misty. [...]

[...] Whether or not you have any great success, the exercise will begin a neurological reorientation that will be most important if you hope to glimpse realities that are outside of your present neurologically accepted sense-reality.
