“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You move from the outskirts of one dream into the core of another without a change of intensity, and therefore without the sense of physical time passing. It goes without saying that a sense of time may or may not be interwoven in any given dream sequence, but you as the dreamer are not conscious of the physical hours that pass as you sleep.

[...] With my inner eye I saw the face of an older man, facing to the left in full color. [...]

[...] As the emotion diminishes it takes up less of your psychic space, fills up less of your inner environment, and you seem to yourself to recede from it.

[...] That which appears ahead of you in distance, and has not yet been experienced, under usual circumstances has not yet entered the psychic space of inner environment. [...]

The inner senses can and do perceive this reality in an undistorted fashion. [...] It can only translate and perceive what seems to be the evidence of the physical senses. [...]

[...] This experience must come from the mind, through use of the inner senses. [...]

[...] As I said earlier, sense data does have a reality, but this reality does not reside in an object. [...]

[...] There is something within that exists independently, and whose reality you perceive in a highly distorted fashion, through the use of the outer senses.

[...] Creatures relied upon inner senses while learning to operate the new, highly specific physical ones that pinpointed perception in time and place. [...]

[...] They gave man information—a kind that of necessity the new physical senses could not contain. Those senses could only perceive the immediate environment, but man’s dreams compensated for that lack, and filled out his consciousness by giving it the benefit of that larger generalized information to which it had once had an easy access. [...]

[...] Then perhaps what I am about to explain will make more sense.

Dream bodies became physical, and through the use of the senses tuned to physical frequencies—frequencies of such power and allure that they would reach all creatures of every kind, from microbe to elephant, holding them together in a cohesive web of space-and-time alignment.

[...] When you consider survival after death, for instance, you imagine all the senses fully operating, though perhaps in a nonphysical body. [...] Yet in some dream situations you enter a state of awareness quite divorced from that kind of sense data. [...]

(9:27.) In your daily life you may suddenly know something without knowing how you know, without being aware of any particular image or sense impression. [...] This kind of activity approaches the sort of knowing of your own consciousness when it is uninvolved with any kind of ordinary sense stimuli. [...]

[...] Facts are only accepted fiction, of course, but the ideas must make sense and fit into the accepted “story.”

[...] It very willingly looks inward toward those areas of the inner self’s experience to see what it can find for its own use, quite like an explorer searching for resources in virgin territory.

Reading those sessions together is important, for it is the inner realities and the inner insights that will also release the thyroid’s proper activity, and allow the resumption of more normal physical expression. [...]

This kind of communication can also help both of you in many ways, because the verbal expressions themselves stand for and represent inner emotions and expressions and fulfillments, and rouse your beings, for in some ways your emotions do of course move you (with emphasis. [...]

[...] I cannot impress upon you too much, however, the importance of those early sessions on the Magical Approach, for they will make even more sense to you now after the hospital experience. [...]

“The eye projects and focuses the inner image (idea) onto the physical world in the same manner that a motion-picture camera transfers an image onto a screen. [...] The difficulty in understanding this principle is due to the fact that we’ve taken it for granted that the image and sound already exist for the senses to interpret. Actually the senses are the channels of creation by which idea is projected into material expression.

During that experience I knew that we formed physical matter, not the other way around; that our senses showed us only one three-dimensional reality out of an infinite number that we couldn’t ordinarily perceive; that we could trust our senses only so far and only so long as we did not ask questions that were beyond their limited scope of knowledge.

Despite all my previous ideas and common sense, I knew that time wasn’t a series of moments one before the other, each one like a clothespin stuck on a line, but that all experience existed in some kind of eternal now. [...] Even now it fills me with that sense of discovery and revelation:

[...] I wasn’t drifting, looking for a sense of purpose, for example. [...]

[...] They become, with full inner knowledge, vessels, or rather channels through which the poison can be to some extent ejected. [...] Only then, in your system does this inner necessary realization come, because of the exterior circumstances.

[...] The country did not face its own inner reality. [...] Those who stood in the positions of King (Martin Luther) and of both Kennedys bring the inner psychic problems to a head. [...]

A strong coming-into or focusing of inner reality into the objective form of the painting. You are allowing now the inner form to come out fully, and, to bring its own reality and environment with it. [...]

[...] Certain individuals are peculiarly suited for this function, because of their own inner background, the aggregate result of strong challenges they have set for themselves.

[...] You were so used to thinking of yourself as guilty, and here you had a new sense to deal with. [...]

Now, there is one very cozy answer that is quite handy at times and it neatly relieves you of all sense of responsibility. [...]

[...] However, you are also working toward an inner image of a self in a previous life but it is highly distorted. [...]

[...] Spontaneity has its own discipline and its own knowledge, and when you attempt to rule spontaneity with a heavy hand, then rigidity enters in and you destroy the fountain of inner knowledge and intuition and understanding and you distort the emotions that you have. [...]

In those terms of which I am speaking, man’s identification with nature allowed him to utilize those inner channels. [...] Man loved nature, identified with its many parts, and added to his own sense of being by joining into its power and identifying with its force.

[...] The inner conditions cause the exterior climatic changes, though of course it now seems to you that it is the other way around.

[...] Your physical construction is the result of inner molecular configurations, and the sounds you make are related to these.

(Long pause at 11:26.) There are “inner sounds” that act like layers between tissues, that “coat” molecules, and these serve as a basis for exterior sound principles. [...]

[...] Working with the meticulous temperas, you actually worked out inner problems in a way that was not frightening, and gave you a sense of challenge and accomplishment.

Ruburt therefore, sensing this, and abnormally sensitive to your wishes at this time, would not let the sessions be used to wound you, and bent his efforts to block such material. [...]

You had also been operating on inner cues which would have been broken, and in these lapses buried intuitions would have leaped up, bringing these truths in their wake. [...]

[...] Ruburt has an unfortunate sense of unworthiness, without which the situation could not have developed.

[...] The hypocrisy of the organizations blinded you to the inner truth of the symbols.

The symbols have great meaning to the inner self. [...]

[...] For the psychic development made logical sense as well.

[...] It kept Ruburt in strong protection under its wing, and if it was overly stubborn, it was so because it always recognized Ruburt’s intuitive abilities, and the full strength of Ruburt’s sense of commitment, once given.

[...] He had, as you mentioned, the inner knowledge of his own abilities that had, he felt, to be used. [...]

[...] He felt that this same quality, physically translated, led to a physical spontaneity that would make the inner spontaneity more difficult to achieve. [...]

Since all of this made such sense to him, he did not change it. [...]

[...] I want to organize this so it makes sense to you... [...]

Your pussycat knew, or sensed, that I was here. You sensed it, hence the swelling of your hands, which is only a symptom of the workings of one particular inner sense. [...]

Inner data, even this, must make its entry through some distortion. [...]

I have said the universe, that is the inner universe, does expand, but does not expand in space. [...]

[...] You knew he was coming consciously, and in your inner vision you saw many things and made of them one image. [...]

Direct cognition is an inner sense. In physical terms you might call it remote sensing. [...]

[...] It seems to the reasoning mind that it must look outside of itself for information, for it operates in concert with the physical senses, which present it with only a limited amount of information about the environment at any given time. [...] The legs today cannot walk down tomorrow’s street, so if the mind wants to know what is going to happen tomorrow, or what is happening now, outside of the physical senses’ domain, then it must try through reason to deduce the information that it wants from the available information that it has. [...]

[...] Those sensed, additional improvements have to wait for the next effort: A creative tension between the present and the future is set up, then—one that I’ve often felt, an impatience to leap ahead to the next step even while I’m still working out the current one. [...]

(10:01 P.M. “Boy,” Jane said, “I sensed a whole bunch of stuff on dreams, and when I reached that part on reincarnation and dreams, I knew that’s where I was supposed to get. [...]

[...] The meaning of the dream is as follows: In the beginning you and he are about to lecture or address small children, which means that you were both invoking the spontaneous, creative portions of yourselves, which in the truest sense are childlike. [...] All that are immediately salvaged are the inner organs, which Ruburt symbolically washes clean in a ritual indicative of washing away old beliefs, and of washing the inner organs clean—the act of inner cleanliness. [...]

[...] Simply allow that mental flexibility, overall suggestions for motion and healing are of course excellent, since they leave it up to the body to do the inner work involved. [...]

[...] She felt no other personality’s presence, etc; whatever the source, it appeared to be blocked off from her emotionally and subjectively in the usual sense; yet the material was given.

[...] The inner values of the minus numbers have not been, I think, suspected.

[...] This doesn’t make any sense to me—I’m probably distorting the whole thing. [...]

(The equation she tried to give doesn’t make sense to her; she now looked at Roger’s questions again briefly. [...]

You should see him visually either entirely objectified, or in an unusually vivid inner image. But more than this there should be an inner word communication between you that will actually be of telepathic origin. [...]

[...] On our rather bulky analogy the guests are all portions of the inner self, who is the unseen attendant who maintains the building.

[...] This is possible, feasible, since you are all portions, in our analogy, of this same inner self who maintains all of the rooms. [...]

There is another portion of your whole inner self, another more advanced. [...]

[...] They are afraid of making mistakes, terrified of betraying this sensed inner psychological superior. Usually, such an idealized inner self comes from the acceptance of highly distorted beliefs—again, concerning good and evil. You end up with what can amount to two main inner antagonists: a superior self and a debased self. [...]

[...] The emotions themselves can sense this when we let them, and grasping that sense of excitement can show us a glimpse of the even greater freedom of our own psychic existence, which flows into us as individuals and then bursts apart that short-lived form into another, as the excitement of individuation leaps from life to life.”

It’s not that my mind knows less
than it did before, but that
its reason finally deduced
the magic of its source, and
sensed beneath the logic of its
ways the deeper spontaneous order
that powers its own thought.

[...] He was very well dressed and very well spoken, and I didn’t pay enough attention to the doubts I sensed when he told me about hearing voices in his head, and asked if Jane did the same thing with Seth. [...]

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

[...] There are decisions made in periods of time so brief you cannot imagine them—reactions that are almost over before they begin, reactions so fast you cannot perceive them as the body responds to its inner reality, and to all the stimuli from the exterior environment. [...]

“The particular atmosphere surrounding your personalities just prior to the animals’ deaths was destructive, short-circuited, and filled with inner panics. [...]

[...] The combination of love and physical touch, and the inner intent, is highly important. [...]

A day like today is extremely significant to both of you, for it builds up inner confidence, particularly on Ruburt’s part. [...]

Now a small note: Your poor, misguided, unjolly bachelor friend downstairs did you a service many times, in complementing your wife when you were unable to do so, in giving her a sense or a glimmer of female pride or appreciation when you were unable to communicate, and you knew this.

[...] Both of you enjoy a sense of moral superiority in the presence of your brothers’ families, that they eat so heartily while you refrain. [...]
