“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The inner ego is another organizing feature of the personality in its dealings with inner environment.

[...] In many cases it may appear as if exterior circumstances formed such inner shifts, changing the whole unifying structure of the personality, and shifting the personality into what would appear to be entirely uncharacteristic activities.

[...] It sees or feels itself as a part of continuing action, and because of this inner atomic knowledge it does not fear destruction, basically, knowing that it will be changed into other kinds of action.

[...] To say that its identity and its continuity or sense of continuity is within action, is not too far off, although the word continuity in this instance would be misleading.

“The Inner Senses, to some extent, will allow you to perceive the reality of inner existence, and in this new development Ruburt is using these in a more effective manner than before. [...]

[...] “The laws of the inner universe [which had been given to us by Seth] are not laws in some book. They are attempts to explain in words the nature of inner reality. [...]

[...] Ruburt sensed this in the past, and feared to open these channels until he felt himself suitably ready.

[...] The sense of contact was undeniably there. [...]

[...] You were born with an inner recognition of your rightness in the universe. [...]

[...] You are born knowing that you possess a unique, intimate sense of being that is itself, and that seeks its own fulfillment, and the fulfillment of others. [...]

[...] Most individual people know that in some inner portion of themselves. [...]

“The therapy of value fulfillment will attempt to put individuals in touch with their basic instincts, to allow them to sense the impulsive shapes of their lives, to define their own versions of the ideal through the recognition of it as it exists in their own impulses and feelings and abilities, and to help them find acceptable and practical methods of exerting their natural power in the practical actualization of those ideals.”

The third personality of Christ will indeed be known as a great psychic, for it is he who will teach humanity to use those inner senses that alone make true spirituality possible. [...]

The inner self alone, at rest, in meditation, can at times glimpse portions of these inner realities that cannot be physically expressed. [...]

[...] But the inner vehemence was always present, the inner fire, and the recognition that he tried for so long to hide.

[...] In one sense, you can say that man identifies with the gods he has himself created. [...]

The very attempt to solve the physical problems brings out inner abilities. The very attempt to solve the physical problems often solves the inner problems that are being projected upon the physical reality. [...]

We are speaking of inner values; not inner self values but subconscious values.

An inability to face or admit, or solve, physical problems, can also be reflected in the physical condition, and reactivate earlier sensitivities, leading to a sense of hopelessness. [...]

[...] In other words you have preferred to place the problem, both of you again, upon Ruburt in physical terms, rather than face the inner issues with initiative and daring.

[...] … Your own dreams are fragments, even as in a larger sense you are fragments of your entity.” Seth also said that an inner part of each personality was aware of its relationship with its entity—and that this portion did man’s breathing for him and controlled those bodily processes that we consider involuntary.

Later elaborations on the above statement gave us a pretty fair idea of what inner processes go on so that Seth and I can make contact. [...]

[...] As you give inner purpose and organization to your dreams, and obtain insight and satisfaction from them though they involve only a part of your life, so the entity to some extent directs and gives purpose and organization to his personalities.

[...] The reply was that Willie’s very acute senses picked up Seth’s presence just before session time. [...]

These steps seem very obvious, and perhaps too easy — but they will bring an immediate sense of ease and a peace of mind while your inner reserves are being released and activated. I have mentioned these steps many times, because they are so vital in clearing the conscious mind, and bringing some sense of relief to the frightened ego.

[...] Try to become as aware as you can of present sense-data — all of it. [...] This procedure will immediately lessen the pressure of the problem itself, whatever it is, and give you a sense of refreshment.

[...] It would provide variety and a sense of accomplishment aside from any other more personal material Seth may give. [...]

[...] This presupposes inner knowledge and calculations, for you must be aware of the probabilities in order to choose from them. The inner self, therefore, has this knowledge. [...] Computers are toys compared with these inner workings.

[...] The ego becomes more like the inner ego and less like its old self, comparatively speaking. [...] Now it is far more open to inner data. [...]

‘They actually were you in a sense,’ I say. [...]

[...] Now, when she comes to our apartment, she senses this other Jane and Rob moving about just beyond the focus of our normal perceptions.

[...] The cellular comprehension⁸ provides all kinds of inner therapeutics that operate quite naturally. There is a physical give-and-take between the body and environment beyond that which you recognize; an inner dynamics here that escapes you, that unites the health of plants, animals, and men. [...]

[...] Indeed, it was often fast with no sense of the three-month break that had ensued since the 707th session.)

[...] He is now discovering that he needs other lights also, in other words — that he has been relying upon only a small portion of an entire inner searchlight that can be used in many directions. [...]

[...] Under such conditions the body can perform tasks and often maneuver with an amazing sense of balance. [...]

The inner state of each individual mind is projected outward. The inner state causes chemical changes in the physical body. [...]

[...] The weather, at any given time, is a direct physical interpretation of the inner mass mind. [...]

[...] And then after the health situation (gesture) policies or events from the past will make sense, but there will be a shocking element involved.

[...] He is squeezing the life from it symbolically and he senses the emotional (Jane’s voice sounded almost drugged here) crisis toward which he is propelled. [...]

The inner ego is the self who drives the wheel with purpose; at the same time there are many other wheels and many spokes… Our moment point analogy will also help you here. [...] The inner senses connect all the selves, and the movements of consciousness are far more complicated than that of a Ferris wheel.

Later you may be able to follow this inner self even while the physical ego operates in its normal manner, but this is much more difficult if overall personality balance is to be maintained. [...] In one sense, identity is always a becoming, and it can never be a static, finished thing. [...]

[...] The inner ego is quite familiar with the existence of the physically-oriented ego, but the physically-oriented ego is not usually familiar with its inner counterpart.

When through training the ego becomes more aware of this inner self, the whole personality benefits. The whole self as it exists at any given time can be glimpsed through studying the actions of the physically-oriented ego, as seen in physical manipulation, and in studying the activities of the inner ego as seen in dream experiences. [...]

This attitude is twice as limiting since it robs you of the very enjoyable and natural sense of worth that your body and mind both inherently possess—that is, overall you realize the rightness of your position. You have a natural sense of inner balance and equilibrium that is only marred by such considerations. [...]

[...] She’d had no sense of time passing, whereas at other times she might have quite a definite sense of “the psychological distance,” or time that had passed.

A person’s sense of worth became connected with the acquisition of land, though to a lesser extent, even as it had in Europe. [...]

My viewpoint is, I admit, more cosmopolitan than yours, but your own inner knowledge is also far-reaching in those terms, and that knowledge can indeed be shaken loose from social confinement. [...]

[...] Try to sense the mobility involved. [...]

[...] Some such remembered events will make sense to you. [...]

[...] If you are honest, many of you will sense a reluctance, for certain qualities of consciousness are brought into play that run counter to your usual conscious experience.

You might feel as if you are crossing your wires, so to speak, or stretching vaguely sensed psychic muscles. [...]

[...] As simply as possible the self, the inner self with which the ego is only vaguely familiar, that self which is the inner strength, continuity and identity, that gives the ego its vital meaning, that inner self, dear friend, is constantly being born.

[...] Yet you do not deny the existence of a psychological experience, though you cannot rip it apart from yourself and examine it with the physical senses. [...] So also are there other realities that cannot be examined through the use of the physical senses, realities so close to the self that they cannot be separated from it and objectified.

[...] Now, even in his scientific studies he discovers that his senses have often misled him, his precious solid objects for example found to be solid only to his senses, an appearance given by the limitations of his sensual perceptions.

[...] Therefore man must take his abilities and travel inward, since going outward will not allow him to perceive the inner portions of himself.

Because dreams are such a perfect combination of stimuli from the inner environment and the exterior environment, other events are often used to trigger inner dream messages, just as the opposite occurs. [...]

[...] Or having remembered them you can’t interpret them properly, meaning that in your terms you can’t make sense of the dream message. [...]

[...] Before such communications, the normal world of social concourse and natural phenomena always provided a great backdrop, in which the dreams of the night before would speak their messages—and the exterior circumstances then become recognizable for inner insights.

[...] Even then, you might not recall the dream, but the situation itself as it comes to your attention might make you check your tires, decide to put off your trip, or instead lead you to inner speculations about whether you are going too fast in a certain direction for your own good at this time. [...]

[...] But the inner selves, knowing their position within All That Is, do not fear denial. [...] Let the inner intuitive sense speak for it is the inner voice, and the magic that unites you has no need of conscious words. [...]

[...] There is no situation from which you must escape in your inner group. [...]

And the inner self that controls your breathing does not need you to consciously discipline it. [...]

[...] But my essays I want delivered from the inner portion of yourself—that is composed of intuition and intellect. [...]

[...] He climbed through belief systems with an unerring sense of direction, but as he toppled one there was always another. [...]

Now Ruburt wrote about it just lately (in Psychic Politics?), but he still does not realize how persuasive (pervasive?) this one particular cultural belief is, and only by accepting it does his physical condition make any sense.

The body’s discomfort as he wrote would also tone down his inner pursuits enough so that he could intellectually handle them.

[...] While it limited his inner and outer potential to some degree, he still felt overall that he was going ahead as fast as he dared to.

[...] However he thrives and literally demands a luxurious sense of inner love, an abundance of warmth and affection. [...]

In one sense, a limited sense, you could say that he acquiesced, feeling that his symptoms would break through the barrier. [...]

[...] He senses and reacts to parts of you with which neither of you are consciously familiar. He speaks out your sense of wonder and fantasy, that was squelched when you were a child, but finds release in your work.

[...] Ruburt, sensing your jealousy, ran away and would not be deeply touched. [...]

(10:05.) The inner mechanics of emotions and beliefs are complicated, but these are individuals who feel that physical life has failed them. [...] Such systems lead to the formation of cults, and the potential members seek out a leader who will serve their purposes as surely as they seem to serve his — through an inner mechanics of which each member is at least somewhat aware.

[...] It automatically propels your body in the proper fashions, even though you are not consciously aware of the inner mechanisms involved. [...]

[...] It is your private inner environment, psychically speaking. [...]

[...] If you believe in the sinfulness of the world, for instance, then you will search out from normal sense data those facts that confirm your belief. [...]

Now, each event of which you are aware is already a translation of an inner event, a psychic or mental event that is perceived by the soul directly, but translated by the physically oriented portions of the self into physical sense terms.

It goes without saying then that the soul does not require a physical body for purposes of perception; that perception is not dependent upon physical senses; that experience continues whether or not you are in this life or another; and also that the soul’s basic methods of perception are also operating within you now even as you read this book. It also follows that your experience within the physical system is dependent upon a physical form and physical senses — again, because these interpret reality and translate it into physical data. It also follows that some hints of the soul’s direct experience can be gained by momentarily switching the physical senses off — by refusing to use them as perceptors, and falling back upon other methods. [...]

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.

[...] Portions of it are retained as “past” physical sense data, but the whole experience returns to its initial direct state.
