“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It is what I have given you now, however, and I fear that like our friend, Instream, unless you change you will be looking for proofs that mean nothing and ignoring the inner reality that is all important and closing your mind to inner validity that alone will give you the kind of proofs that you require. [...]

[...] Now it is possible, you see, and you are trying to bring what you think of as your conscious self into some awareness of what these other portions of the inner self are up to so, supposing we call your presently conscious self your immediate self. [...]

[...] I understand your feeling and your sense of accomplishment but also remember in your heart that the most stereotyped unoriginal suburbanite, in your terms, has within him all the capabilities of which we speak so that you do not, in your own mind, set him down as a caste system for that is what has been done to you. [...]

The trouble with you is you have no sense of humor. [...]

Some of this is difficult to explain, but as the world of appearances presents its own evidence, on the level of sense, so your inner reality presents as strong evidence of its reality. [...]

If you think that it is your personal responsibility alone to change the world, then you are always bound to feel a burdening sense of failure. [...]

[...] With some sense of freedom and play, both of you can combine high qualities of intuitional and intellectual abilities so that they sometimes merge into a higher mind.

[...] You have inner strength that will give you your own sense of identity and continuity. Any inner security will come from this. [...]

[...] You have inner stability, but you are in danger of losing inner stability whenever you try to project this upon someone else. [...]

[...] The obsession to have him grows precisely in proportion to your inner realization that you do not want him, but only the excitement involved in searching for him. [...]

Give us time … There are, again, inner coordinates having to do with the inner behavior of electrons. [...]

[...] These methods may seem to lead to great distortions, particularly in contrast with the sensed possibilities of development. [...] When the new sensed reality is strong enough to provide not only greater comprehensions but also to construct a new framework, then the old framework is seen as limiting, and discarded.

[...] There is then a whole great inner dimension even to the space that you know, that you do not perceive. [...]

[...] Your physical senses will only operate in their and your present.

Those people look to cults of various kinds, where decisions are made for them, where they are relieved of the burden of an individuality that has been robbed of its sense of power by conflicting beliefs. At one time the males might have been drafted into the army, and, secretly exultant, gone looking for the period before full adulthood — where decisions would be made for them, where they could mark time, and where those who were not fully committed to life could leave it with a sense of honor and dignity.

[...] Often the existence of probabilities and their acceptance does provide a kind of exterior crisis situation that individually and en masse is a symbol of independence and inner crisis. The crisis is met in the exterior situation, and as the people deal with that situation they symbolically deal with their own inner crises. [...]

[...] Usually such people were joined by common interests, a sense of honor, and there was no retaliation to be feared in this century.

[...] This is a physical statement of the inner change, and the inner change must be reflected physically of course: the intention to work with, not against the body, and to help encourage its natural spontaneity and functions.

[...] The vocal sounds of the Sumari language and characteristics as they are presently apparent to you will, hopefully, lead toward these clearly understood but logically unstructured sounds that are recognized by the organism and by the inner self, but ignored by the reasoning conscious mind that focuses upon the logical language.

[...] The word, onomatopoeia (there is a chance the first letter should be A instead of O) comes closest to explaining the inner nature of such sounds.

This is a vital basic method of communication, upon whose inner intuitive and organic structure all other languages are formed and based.

In the meantime all I can say is this: We live in a world of physical facts but these spring from a deeper realm of creativity, and in a real sense facts are fictions that spring alive in our experience. [...] I hope that Aspects will also span the world of facts and the rich inner realities from which they come, for our experience includes each.

[...] I’ve begun to glimpse the greater inner dimensions from which our usual lives emerge, and to familiarize myself with other alternate methods of perception that can be used not only to see other “worlds,” but help us deal more effectively with this one.

[...] I think that it operates as a psychological and psychic framework that frees me from normal verbal reference, letting me express and communicate inner feelings and data that lie just beneath formalized word patterns.

[...] (These are also translated later.) Seth defines the Speakers as teachers, both physical and nonphysical, who constantly interpret and communicate inner knowledge through the ages. [...]

The man represents, now, an example of a personality highly endowed with intuition, and inner senses that are highly developed. [...]

The boy, the youngest son, is also well endowed, with already efficient inner senses. [...]

[...] We are attempting to work in such a manner that added knowledge from the intuitional inner self is also made known to the intellect.

[...] Seth stated that he did not realize Jane would achieve this focusing of inner energy so early in her studies with psychological time, and furthermore said that it could have unpleasant effects if it was unwittingly directed toward someone else. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) In his case he must accept himself as a human being before he can hope to discover the inner self. [...] There was a definite splitting of personality elements, and a complete abandonment by the inner self of the ego.

The ego takes care of physical matters so that the inner self can go about its other concerns. [...] The inner self is then in a precarious position, for it must also attempt to deal with physical reality.

He had not found a strongly centralized inner self as yet, that could take over the organization of the entire psychological structure. [...]

He intended a strong inner self to take over control of the entire personality. [...]

Animals, like people, sense when they are a burden, and the dog sensed that he was a burden, and also something of a nuisance. [...]

[...] The outer senses are not as quick or as fluent. [...]

[...] The freely working subconscious, or the inner you, is completely capable of taking care of all practical considerations, and will use the ego as a tool to see that this is done.

[...] Now for your own sake and for the sake of the art that you follow, you must allow yourself more inner freedom. [...]

[...] But the inner natural leanings of all of consciousness within the realms of your being now yearn for constructive change, clearer vision, to experience again their inherent sense of corporal spirituality, physical and psychic grace. They want to sense again the effortless motion that is their natural birthright.

(All more intently:) I hope that this book to some extent or another puts each of you in touch with your own inner psychological motion, your creative breath, so that you are invigorated and sense within your own minds and spirit a new promise, a new intent, and the exhilaration of earthly and spiritual strength. [...]

That inner psychological universe is a psychic gestalt, propelled, formed, sustained or driven by value fulfillment, love and desire, by the loving values that have no limit (intently). The universe does not give up on itself, or on any of its creatures. It is ruled by a different set of principles, a different set of values, and by inner cooperative exuberance.

[...] motion off the planet is certainly an objectified version or translation of our tentative explorations of inner space. In conscious terms, we have barely touched upon the fantastic inner complexities of All That Is, from which all else emerges, and which for a number of reasons we still fear.

[...] You view the fantastic variety of physical life — its animals, insects, birds, fish, man and all his works — with hardly a qualm; yet you must understand that the nature of consciousness itself is far more varied, and you must learn to think of an inner reality that is as infinite as the exterior one. [...] This does not deny the independence of the persons, but your inner reality straddles their reality, while it also serves as a psychic world in which they can grow.³

[...] The “inner” body can perform in ways that the physical body cannot, and you can use that as a challenge. Find out what you can do with your inner body; experiment.

(In Note 6 for the last session I wrote quite easily that Jane and I felt “no physical or emotional threat” as we considered the vastness of the inner universe described by Seth. [...]

[...] The units can and do intermix, yet because of the propensity for selectivity and significance, whole groups of them will “repel” other whole groups, thus providing a protective inner system of interaction.

You do not trust your inner selves sufficiently, nor the knowledge that you have within you. [...]

[...] For I must tell you again, and I cannot tell you too often, that the inner self, acting spontaneously, automatically shows the discipline that you do not as yet understand. [...]

([Theodore:] “Freedom in the total sense seems like irresponsibility almost.”)

[...] And yet all of this rests upon the spontaneous workings of the inner self and the nervous system of which the intellect knows little. [...]

[...] Feelings of energy form the inner self were then allowed to bubble up and give you a sense of energy and a release from normal pressures. [...]

[...] And you should sense within yourselves the energy that resides within your own identity and sense to some extent the unique vitality of every living organism. [...]

The physical sound that I make, the energy that you sense now is, indeed, a part of the energy that sings within the vitality of any atom and molecule. [...]

[...] No, she hadn’t heard Seth, or sensed his presence while this was going on; she’d just realized that his help would be necessary if she decided to do the book. [...] While I was in the altered state, I sensed not only the physical bulk of the book, but the actual contents within it. [...]

[...] She added that her experience in “getting it” was related not only to her ability to sense that sometimes more than one stream of material was available from Seth, but to the way that she herself had tuned into the information on neurological speeds late last month. [...]

[...] The child tries to project inner reality outward, and finds outside structures too small.

In the body’s spontaneous functioning you see the easy mobility of the soul, the “going with that which I am,” which is an indication of the soul’s inner freedom and yet innate sense of direction. [...]

[...] Such growth is a natural manifestation flourishing within your particular area of actuality, observable to your senses. [...]

[...] The individual will follow one or another of these inner stimuli to a deeper level of consciousness, and form into light dreams the communications he is receiving.

[...] The dimensions of it can only be sensed by those determined enough to take the time and effort required to journey through their own subjective realities. [...]

[...] Only by learning to feel, or sense, or intuitively perceive the depths of your own experience can you glimpse the nature of All That Is. [...]

[...] There will be a metamorphosis, therefore, of one symbol turning into many, and the conscious mind may only perceive a chaos of various dream images, because the inner organization and unity is partially hidden in the other areas of consciousness through which the reasoning mind cannot follow.

Before, he was afraid to sense those changes in the atmosphere that he could sense so well. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The woman, the older woman, is in a state of inner emotional turmoil, that should be resolved by the end of May.

[...] The accident, again, would be comparatively minor unless the older woman’s inner existence drastically changes for the worse. [...]

[...] They sensed a kind of value fulfillment that required of them the utilization of their own creative abilities. [...]

We will for now, however, confine ourselves to a discussion of consciousness in the beginning of the world, stressing that the first basis of physical life was largely subjective, and that the state of dreaming not only helped shape the consciousness of your species, but also in those terms served to provide a steady source of information to man about his physical environment, and served as an inner web of communication among all species. [...]

[...] Like I know the session wasn’t too long, but I had that sense of completion when he went back incredibly far. [...]

“The varieties of consciousness—the inner ‘psychological particles,’ the equivalent, say, of the atom or molecule, or proton, neutron or quark—those nonphysical, ‘charmed,’ ‘strange,’ forms of consciousness that make experience go up or down (all with amusement), and around and around—are never of course dealt with (by science).

[...] You felt it could be smothering, for you sensed the reasons behind her smothering love for her sons. When you begin to sense you might be getting somewhere then you become suspicious instantly, inhibit the feeling in the name of realism.

[...] Your lives in many ways did not satisfy you, but rather than accept this fact clearly and cast about for what changes or solutions there might be, both of you tried to keep everything precisely (underlined) as it was, make no changes, and live with the dissatisfaction that became a constant inner problem.

Your relationship is a good one, compared to most an excellent one, but you know your inner potentials, and the potentials of that relationship, and how much you have to some degree failed it. [...]

[...] Each of you know this and sense it.
