“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The supraself can be sensed at times, almost as you might sense another presence. [...]

[...] The act of perception itself involves mobility through intensities, and the many facets of consciousness can only be experienced as a direct result of this inner mobility.

[...] To the inner self neither house nor walls exist. [...]

[...] Cancer patients most usually feel an inner impatience as they sense their own need for future expansion and development, only to feel it thwarted.

Doctors might suggest that a patient relax and then ask himself or herself what kind of inner fantasy would best serve the healing process. Instant images may come to mind at once, but if success is not achieved immediately, have the patient try again, for in almost all cases some inner pictures will be perceived.

Simply make a straightforward request, asking that some picture or image be presented in your inner mind, that will serve as representative of those portions of your own inner reality.

[...] The world of normal communication I call Framework 1, while Framework 2 represents that inner world, in which indeed all time is simultaneous, and actions that might take years in normal time can happen in the blinking of an eyelid in Framework 2.

You will always find that Ruburt’s writings are precise barometers, giving excellent indications as to his inner state of mind; showing also the quality and direction of his beliefs at any given time.

[...] Not because it is mine but because truth can be sensed within it. [...]

[...] His more relaxed inner attitude has given us more available energy. [...]

[...] The inner difficulties therefore being worked out in several areas at once. [...]

[...] As we waited Jane said several times that she felt “a sense of reassurance” from Seth, that he was organizing some kind of material or program for her because of her physical situation. [...]

[...] Those inner atmospheric “waves” have a certain regularity. [...]

[...] In it a man received news of his wife’s death via his inner senses, by which he sees her apparition appear before him as she dies many miles away. [...]

The inner discipline, the inner utilization of energy, the inner channeling and direction of energy on Ruburt’s part in these sessions, would have been impossible but a few years ago.

[...] If you were in Ruburt’s position, you would be more willingly regular than he; but my dear Joseph, your critical sense would block me much more than his, particularly in details. [...]

[...] The validity and strength of emotions cannot be overestimated, for they represent in only slightly tinged form the uncamouflaged vitality of the universe as it passes through the inner self. [...]

[...] From the wealth of inner data your nature demands that you form new gestalts, and in painting them you automatically relate them outward. You need the inner data and the journeys inward, but these must always be of a disciplined nature, and not overdone.

[...] We have stated that a reality remains as it is, unchanged even though the perceiver, because of his sense apparatus, may perceive it in a limited or distorted fashion. [...]

Now, putting these two statements together, you see that an individual will perceive basic reality, in the main, only from his own reference point, and through his outer sense apparatus. [...]

[...] A deeper involvement however at this time serves to focus your energies in a bunch, so to speak, in the personal subconscious, blocking creative energies that come from deeper layers of the inner self. [...]

[...] She did not want children, yet giving birth gave her a sense of power, the only sense of power she had experienced in this existence, and so she used this power as a weapon when she felt a weapon was needed.

If this is not done then the desire to replace the father is a strong inner problem. [...] The three sons, incidentally, agreed as to their parents, and with full inner knowledge of the circumstances that would be involved. [...]

[...] The fragment is always aware of this, and it is always aware of its inner identity with the whole personality.

[...] Any weakness on your part would signal to you the loss of inner independence, the loss of a battle that you had thought over years ago.

[...] I think that her experience with inner sound after the session represented her interpretation of the information Seth gave on feeling-tones, some two years ago; see the 613th session for Chapter 1 of Personal Reality. [...] I also think that Jane’s sensing of her true path reflects her understanding of Seth’s subsequent remark at 10:16 [in that 613th session]: “The feeling-tone is the motion and fiber — and timbre — of your energy devoted to your physical experience.¹¹

There are inner conventions, then, as there are outer ones. As the exterior mores try to force you to conform to the generally accepted ideas, so the interior conventions try to force you to make your inner experience conform to preconceived packaging.

[...] During the session Seth discussed inner sound in connection with Jane’s own physical symptoms. (In Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality, see the 679th session before 10:31, and Note 8. The quotations below are also related to the material on inner sound, light, and electromagnetic values in Chapter 5 of Personal Reality.) Seth, at 11:07 P.M.:

Now in a sense the physical body does this always — that is, it sits astride realities, containing within itself dimensions of time and being that cannot be even verbally described. [...]

(It might be interesting to quote here the first paragraph of notes Jane made that evening: “Basic idea is that the senses are developed not to permit awareness of an already existing material world, but to create it. The inner image [idea] is projected by the senses outward to create the world of appearances. [...]

Intellectually he followed the ideas, but his inner self gave him the all-important initial message. [...] Intuition represents the directions of the inner self, breaking through conscious barriers.

[...] The “I” who dreams, who is aware of motion, action and participation in a dream, this “I” is of course the inner self, focused momentarily upon the particular subconscious layer at which the dream is originated.

In dreams the inner “I” changes its point of focus, and this is important. [...]

Morning makes sense
To any animal,
And each one feels
Death’s decimal.

This next is not as good a poem, aesthetically, as the others, but it was written to Rob and clearly shows the growing sense of panic with which I viewed the passing years. [...]

[...] I wrote the following poem which is mentioned later by Seth as an indication of the inner knowledge that was almost ready to burst into consciousness.

Time and time again, the inner centers of our being come to our aid through subjective promptings — either in waking, dream or trance states. [...]

[...] Do you think that the inner world is not as rich, even more rich, more valid? [...]

[...] Electrons, for example, are slow dullards in comparison with EE units.¹ It goes without saying that the units of consciousness are “mental,” or if you prefer, disembodied, though from their inner organization all physical forms emerge. [...]

The great communication system within the body itself is dependent, then, upon the constant inner flux and flow of these units. [...]

[...] Because your sense experience follows a time pattern that you can understand, then you take it for granted that a cell, for example, is the result of its past, and that its present condition arises from the past.⁴ The fetus grows into an adult, not because it is programmed from the past, but because it is to some extent precognitively aware of its probabilities, and from the “future” then imprints this information into the past structure.

Its sense of identity spontaneously goes beyond the change of its own form. [...] The inner self is aware of this integrity of identity, but the ego, focused so securely in physical reality, cannot afford this luxury.

Instead, the inner self is intimately connected with each reality, though you are not aware of it; and the inner self can trace its own connections through the network of any existence and still keep its identity.

[...] The inner self knows what is behind the physical stars and planets that the eye views, but the ego would be swept aside in panic at such realization.

[...] For this reason there was an easy distinction between what was called inner sight and outer sight, and it was quite natural for them to close their eyes when seated in conversation in order to communicate more clearly, enjoying the ever-changing and immediate inner images that accompanied any verbal interchange.

(10:41.) They learned quickly, and education was an exciting process, because this multisensuous facility automatically impressed information upon them not simply through one sense channel at a time but utilizing many simultaneously. [...] Energy was blocked in these areas so that they actually lacked a forceful quality or sense of power.

[...] Since these were an aesthetic people, the walls were lined with paintings and drawings, and sculpture was also displayed along these inner byways.

Of course, they had complete records of underground gas areas and intimate knowledge of the inner crusts, keeping careful watch upon and anticipating earth tremors and faults. [...]

[...] Which raised some intriguing questions about the sense of responsibility she would still feel—indulging that very quality we’re supposed to be so on the lookout for. [...]

[...] That art may add to the richness of society, to culture—but art always possesses its own secretive inner nature, and with that nature each artist of whatever kind must always relate. [...]

[...] An overhanded sense of responsibility leads in the same direction. [...]

[...] The sense of responsibility of that kind stifles love, which must be free to form its own creativity in its own fashion. [...]

[...] If I read your inner intent correctly however, your prophet will dominate the background, and seem almost to come out of it. [...]

And with implied words, for the words that are sensed but not spoken, will rush out with color rather than with sound, and behind the implied words those emotions upon which the painting must be based. [...]

[...] You can build form or a structure with lines, or a face, and leave it and wait for the emotion to fill it up, and then quickly with a touch here and there bring out that which has appeared, the movement that was within the form, that you barely sensed. [...]

The painting itself, and any painting, rises out of the empty board through the force of your own emotions, and the board becomes the focal point that collects, draws together and directs the energy from your inner self, into form.

[...] Your entire civilization is built around that kind of inner framework. [...] They sense a surge of power beneath.

You and Ruburt have had the feeling many times — but what we are trying to do is change over completely from one mode of operation to another, and to construct, say, new inner blocks of meaning that will give rise to the next era.

— this will help you understand about the platform that Ruburt imagines, and the inner procedure required for a session without a session.

Even the alterations of obvious pauses between languages make sense only because of an implied, unstated inner rhythm. [...]

[...] Here you are searching for the implied source, the unspoken, invisible “pause,” the inner organization that gives language or the self a vehicle of expression. [...]

[...] Your being rides upon that unstated reality, as a letter of the alphabet rides upon the inner organizations that are implied by its existence. [...]

The invisible environment within your mind is not as lonely as you might think, and your seeming inner isolation is caused by the ego’s persistent guard. [...]

[...] Such impulses would seem to be disconnected from your own current interests or activities; intrusive in that they come quickly into consciousness, with a sense of strangeness as if they are not your own. [...]

[...] All divisions are merely illusions, so one probable self can hold out a helping hand to another, and through these inner communications the various probable selves in your terms begin to understand the nature of their identity.

In their own way, even atoms and molecules retain a knowledge of the forms through which they have passed, and so the individuals that compose any given civilization contain deep within themselves the inner knowledge of experiments and trials, successes and failures, in which the races have also been involved at other levels of reality. [...]

[...] You are much more aware of your inner travels than you think you are. [...] You come to class because you like me—you also come to class because it is your contact with this inner reality and you do not want to lose contact with it. [...] You will also get better physical results if you will allow yourself more inner freedom for you will gain energy and strength that you need now. [...]

[...] The inner adjustments came first and the loss of weight later. The loss of weight is a physical materialization of the inner change. [...]

[...] Your dream life is continuous, only your waking ego closes out the inner stimuli and does not see it, for it must concentrate upon physical daily reality. But it can learn to look inward, change the focus of its awareness and take quick pictures of this inner environment. [...]

[...] So you must peek out at physical reality, while the body sleeps and the eyes are closed and the senses are “dimmed” in your terms. [...]

[...] But if you’re waiting for me to have Seth come through, you should be as anxious to hear your own inner selves come through. [...] But you can also make them without any sense of division, with a sense of complete easiness, and that’s what I want you to learn to do. [...]

[...] You are denying your own inner voice. [...] But without me Seth couldn’t speak, and without your inner selves you wouldn’t have the knowledge.

[...] In the power that you sense there are answers if you have the wits to sense within yourself that same power. [...]
