“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The early problems that helped trigger your difficulty you can now, as an adult, overcome these by realizing that the inner self has its own knowledge and its own ways. [...] Now you do not trust the inner self to do these things, and you must learn to accept the inner ancient wisdom that is your own. [...]

[...] You must relax and trust the inner self to see and to hear. [...]

[...] You have physical senses for a reason. [...]

(Very loudly) As you sense the energy within this voice grab a hold of it, use it for your own purposes. [...]

Sense data therefore may be the result of perception of outer and inner environment. It is simpler to translate information from the outer environment into sense data. It is more difficult to translate inner data in this manner. There are frequent distortions but there are also frequent distortions in more ordinary sense perceptions. Inner data so translated must be built up from scratch, so to speak. There is in the physical world an illusion of continuity, against which sense data can be checked. There is no like sense of continuity, as a rule, against which to check sense perceptions which are translations of inner data.

Some sense impressions fall beneath the threshold of consciousness, these impressions coming from the outside environment. Some impressions however have their origin within inner reality, and the personality is receiving information not available to the egotistical self. If such inner data is to become at all conscious, it must be translated into terms that the ego can recognize. In other words, into sense data.

There is a significant similarity between sense perceptions that are translations of inner data, and the sense perceptions that take place in dreams, in that both are relatively fleeting. [...]

[...] The physical body often and consistently acts upon subconscious knowledge, but in order to impress consciousness, such information must be carried by some kind of sense impression, whether this be a pseudosense impression, or a more normal one.

[...] The solid matter of your world is the result of the play of your senses upon an inner dimension of activity that exists as legitimately, and yet as tantalizingly hidden, as an idea or a dream location.

[...] There is, however, an inner environment that connects all consciousnesses that dwell upon your planet, in whatever form. [...]

Give us a moment… Your sense perception, physically speaking, is a result of behavior on the part of organs that seem to you to have no reality outside of their relationship with you. [...]

[...] The physical matter of those sense organs changes constantly, however, with you none the wiser. [...]

[...] It originates instead in the energy of the entity and inner self, and is directed by means of the inner senses, outward so to speak, through the deeper layers of the individual subconscious mind, then through the outer or personal layers.

We will, indeed, return to our discussion of the inner senses. [...]

[...] Your inner sense of identity, and Ruburt’s, is strong. [...]

[...] The closed and dangerous subconscious is that one which is closed both to inner depths of inspiration arising from the inner self, and also to outer doors of expression.

The nature of All That Is can only be sensed directly through the inner senses, or, in a weaker communication, through inspiration or intuition. [...]

Ideas that you have entertained and not used may be picked up in this same manner by other probable you’s. Each of these probable selves consider themselves the real you, of course, and to any one of them you would be the probable self; but through the inner senses all of you are aware of your part in this gestalt.

(10:01.) From any given point of your existence, however, you can glimpse other probable realities, and sense the reverberations of probable actions beneath those physical decisions that you make. [...]

(11:35.) Give us a moment… Framework 2 represents the inner sphere of reality, the inner dimensions of existence, that gives your world its own characteristics. [...]

[...] “I know my feelings are right,” I told Jane, “but how do I explain them in a few words and make any sense?” I was also constrained by the limits of my own knowledge. Especially, though, I sensed relationships between Seth’s idea on the one hand, and both the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics and the principle of complementarity on the other.

More and more I have seen how reincarnation makes sense out of such apparently senseless tragedies, and provides an inner structure to situations that would otherwise seem chaotic and unjust. [...]

[...] The boy had been related to his foster mother in another life, and also returned to help her gain needed inner development. [...] In no uncertain terms, Seth told her to stop this practice and to work for inner development instead.

[...] “The inner self, as distinguished from the more accessible subconscious, is aware of the situation and finds release through frequent inner communications where successes are remembered and reexperienced. [...]

[...] Only reincarnation weaves these seemingly disparate conditions into a framework that makes sense. [...]

[...] Much that I will tell you concerning my psychological structure will be initially based upon some information you have concerning the inner senses, for these are my conscious senses.

There is a corresponding image, held always within the inner consciousness of those who pass out of your system. [...] It forms a part of the whole inner self. [...]

There are endless coordinates, like infinities of prisms, fitting within, into, transposed upon, and permeating your own physical system, but your outer senses do not perceive them.

[...] In some way the inner self becomes the conscious egotistical self in your terms. [...]

I use words because presently they make sense to you but hopefully behind the words that I speak, you sense the inner vitality which has no need for them and hopefully listening to me, you sense, if only dimly, the wisdom of the self within each of you that is triumphant in its own wisdom, its own spontaneous freewheeling wisdom upon which your intellect rests. [...]

[...] When, however, you begin to have glimpses about the nature of reality and realize that you are more than you know that you are now, then it takes faith to bring that inner image close to some actuality, in your terms. [...] Now your physical perceptions operating alone are often responsible for these doubts for you think you are all that you can see of yourselves, or you think your life is all that you presently perceive of it, and so if you trust in your physical senses alone then you must, indeed, be filled with doubts for you know, instinctively, that you are more than the self that you are presently able to materialize or to give expression to. [...]

Now when you begin to sense the interior invisible self then in physical terms you begin to act upon what you call faith. [...]

[...] Upon its wisdom your intellect rests and the security of your intellect rests upon that support which is the wisdom of the inner self. [...]

To explore that exterior world was to explore the inner one. Such a person, however, walking through the forest, also felt that he or she was also a portion of the inner life of each rock or tree, materialized. [...]

[...] Dramas and stories of all kinds have been written about the inner kind of communication that seems to take place between mother and children, sister and brother, or lover and beloved.

Love itself seems to quicken the physical senses, so that even the most minute gestures attain additional significance and meaning. [...]

[...] He lived at an intense peak of psychic and biological experience, and enjoyed a sense of creative excitement that in those terms only existed when the species was new.

(My question had to do with the various kinds of experience sought by the inner self. I wondered, with some apparent irritation, why Jane’s inner self would permit such a detriment as the symptoms to continue for so long. Once the experience of the illness had been gained, it seemed to me, it made better sense for the inner self to terminate the particular experience and move on to others. [...]

The inner self will see to it that he does. [...]

[...] I told you in our last session that the inner self will not take over entirely. [...]

[...] Now your book uses the term subconscious to cover the whole inner self. [...]

When Ruburt’s mother went to the hospital in his high-school years, he had a symbolic way of ridding the house of her psychic presence, and to add to his own sense of inner freedom. [...]

[...] Ruburt should specifically request dreams in which he is running, with speed and flexibility, dreams in which he dances well, and dreams in which he experiences a magnificent sense of vitality and physical exuberance.

If possible he should make a strong effort to recall his previous sense of flexibility and not identify his personal image with the condition of his physical body during his difficulties.

[...] When he walks now on the streets, he should keep the mental image just given in his mind, picturing the whole flexible and fleet image, and the inner self will take steps to see that the suitable adjustments are made. [...]

[...] The witch doctor, while initiating natural forces on behalf of his patient, who seemed momentarily unable to do so, was then returning the patient to the source of himself and reviving his own buried sense of power. That is the source of physical life, the sense of power and action. [...]

But the body has its own integrity, and illness is often simply a natural sign of imbalance, a physical message to which you are to listen and make inner adjustments accordingly.

[...] The built-in initiating triggers of reactions that are meant to follow inner stimuli are activated instead by “exterior” means.

[...] This usually means that no time is allowed for necessary inner dialogues of self questioning, and the self-healing that might otherwise occur is brought about through belief in another. [...]

We have not spoken about the inner senses in some time. By now, you should realize that they have an electromagnetic reality also and that the mental enzymes act as sparks, setting off inner reactions. [...] This is the result of the lowering of egotistical guards, for the ego sets up controls that act as resistances to various inner channels [during the waking state]. [...]

The inner self does know the state of our health. [...] I seemed to be improving but wanted an inner check. [...]

[...] The inner ego of which we have spoken is the director of such unifying activities. It is the ‘I’ of your dreams, having somewhat the same position within the inner self as the ego has to the outer physical body.

[...] My inner self knew what to do all along. [...]

[...] The inner senses are not bound by those root assumptions however. [...] Inner experience often seems chaotic or meaningless because you attempt to interpret it according to the root assumptions of physical reality. [...]

The inner senses alone are equipped and able to process and perceive other reality systems. [...]

[...] Development of the inner senses is a much more effective method of perceiving other realities, and followed correctly, the ego is not only stronger but more flexible, and consciousness even of physical reality is increased. [...]

[...] There is a natural tendency to continue judging inner experience against these root assumptions however. [...] This interpretation of inner reality into physical terms is at first automatic, and far beneath conscious levels. Inner experience, you see, must to some extent be colored by the physical system while you exist within it.

In either case when conditions are right, you should feel a sense of recognition, a sense of grasping a portion of the center of your own reality. [...]

[...] The painting spirals outward from your inner reality, and it brings forth energy and previous connections and interpretations. [...]

[...] Such episodes add to his confidence, and give him an inner subjective touch. [...]

[...] The same psychic directional sense can be perfected, so that as he roams over fields of experience Ruburt will know when he is on to the proper signals.

[...] In so doing he reinforces a sense of power over both inner habits and the physical environment.

[...] He trusts your common sense, and such a measure will insure that the habitual mood reactions are cut short.

The set of habitual patterned thoughts, then, that he recognized today, ultimately work against creativity, for they destroy the sense of being peaceful and free within the moment.

[...] His inner self-image is changing. [...]

[...] This does not confuse you, and you follow your own sense of identity without difficulty, even though you are everywhere surrounded by other individuals.

Using this as an analogy, you are a part of your psyche or your soul, dwelling within it, easily following your own sense of identity even though that psyche also contains other identities beside the one that you think of as your own. [...]

Now there are also inner “broadcasts” going on constantly — to which, however, you are not consciously attuned. [...]

[...] The written characters make sense because of their arrangement, and precisely because they are chosen over other characters that do not appear.

Twins use communication of the inner senses all unknowing, and what Loriza read of the material moved her subconscious to intuitive realization. [...] Twins are more used to using inner communication, and instances come more easily to mind.

If this sounds difficult then indeed it is, because I will not deal in platitudes, and the exercise of the inner abilities demand, as a bulwark, the sometimes difficult achievement of an ego that can adapt itself in the outer environment, and so hold its own while the inner self is then freed to go its way.

Discipline then should not only be considered, as it is by some schools of thought, as a mere mental discipline over the muscles, or various portions of the body by the inner self, but indeed a discipline in terms of training of the ego by the inner self, so that the ego as a personality achieves a well-balanced relationship with the physical universe.

[...] The rapport existing as a rule between twins, and that does indeed exist, between Loriza, L-o-r-i-z-a and her twin (sister), goes far to account for Loriza’s latent intuitive, but partial, inner comprehension of the elements that work within, say, telepathy.

[...] From the inner self and it is up to you to be free enough to understand this and use it. [...] You are to use your inner senses while you are in this room therefore. [...]

[...] Now the antagonism that you sense is your own projected outward and our Mary Ellen here who is very close to you psychically, picks it up, receives it and magnifies it so you are no help. [...]
