“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] They are individually motivated, in a sense loners. [...]

This, again, deepened their intimate sense of relationship with nature, and encouraged their tendency to go along with it, to survive within its context rather than combat it. [...]

(10:00.) They were left to observe the physical phenomenon, still watching the water’s rise but with the inner knowledge of safety. [...]

[...] A sense of community unity was born, a deep feeling of companionship that had not existed earlier.

“As your body senses temperature changes, so it also senses the psychic charge not only of other human beings but also, believe it or not, of animals, and to a lesser extent … of plants and vegetative matter. Your tree builds up a composite of sensations of this sort, sensing not the physical dimensions of a material object, whatever it is, but the vital psychic formation within and about it.

“The table beside Ruburt senses him even as Ruburt senses the table … The abilities of the tree are latent in man as, dear Joseph, are the abilities of man latent in the tree.”

(And now verbatim:) The fireplace in the hill house is advantageous, as the one in the house on Foster Avenue would have been, simply in that the open hearth represents an inner source of strength and stability. [...]

[...] In ways most difficult to describe, you encounter the universe in a more direct fashion, using inner senses that are far more ranging. [...]

The inner significances, however, the associations, existed all at once, to be tuned in to at any point of time. [...]

[...] The inner tapestry of events deals with just this kind of association. [...]

[...] Here the physical aspects of events largely vanish, comparatively speaking, the farther away you go from the dream state into inner reality. [...]

[...] His inner and unthinking reactions literally immobilized him.

[...] If the overall developments are not dangerous, I will not automatically sense them, but only the end result. [...]

In the main physical existence means a translation of inner mood and psychological climate into physical terms, and no consciousness is constantly in a state of bliss. [...]

[...] He frightened himself into some sense. [...]

(Long pause at 8:15.) With some people (long pause), such bindings are so secure that in one way or another they provide an overall, fairly permanent inner and outer framework. [...] The bonding did not secure him that important and vital sense of safety, and to some extent or another he felt at least threatened by abandonment. [...]

[...] This offers the sense of safety and security in which the youngster can then feel free and curious enough to explore its world and the nature of reality. [...]

[...] Such a situation increased Ruburt’s sense of not being safe, of course, and yet also reinforced feelings of independence, for he did not have to feel as dependent upon Marie as he might otherwise. [...]

[...] What is wanted is another matrix or support from which the personality can assimilate still newer knowledge, and continue to develop—generally speaking—with a sense of relative freedom. [...]

[...] You are equipped however to perceive far more than you do, through use of the inner senses.

[...] Your senses are rather more equipped to notice difference and divergence than sameness; but nevertheless the cooperation of all conscious entities provides physical objects with whatever appearance of permanence they have.

What your senses show to be empty, you term space, and you think of matter rather paradoxically as filling up space, and yet as being where space is not, so-called space and so-called material are energy, and the true properties of energy are very difficult to explain to you, because all your concepts are so limited.

Incidentally, in the same manner that psychological experience exists, and does not take up space, in this same manner do psychic gestalts of intelligence exist, more or less within your plane and yet not visible to your senses. [...]

[...] There will be many ways that you will learn to use your inner senses and methods that you are finally ready to use. [...]

The inner self chooses from its available potential personalities the one that it finds most adequate. Sometimes it simply makes an error, for the inner self is not a perfected thing, any more than the ego is. [...]

[...] The inner self or identity must express itself through its ego in order to manipulate within physical reality. The inner self is composed of all the potential egos that compose it, but it is more than the sum of these.

The four faces of Eve all represented various ego manifestations of one inner identity. [...]

The inner self is always in the process of trying to perfect the nature of that ego which it has adopted. [...]

Give us a moment … I am putting this as simply as possible; but when your “original self” enters [part of] itself into three-dimensional life from an inner reality, the energy waves carrying it break — not simply into one particle, following our analogy, but into a number of conscious particles. [...] You are all connected psychically in terms of inner and outer structures. A certain identity and cohesiveness is also maintained because of these inner connections.

[...] In your system of reality this does not seem to be the case at all, since your senses project a forward kind of motion outward upon events. [...]

Give us a moment … The dream world is as organized as your own, but from the waking state you do not focus upon that inner organization. [...]

[...] They merge together beautifully to form an inner picture of the world at any given “time,” even while that picture is ever-changing. [...]

[...] Therefore, using your inner senses that day you felt the urge to get into your car because consciously you were looking for negative patterns. [...]

[...] If you were allowing full expression of your inner ideas outward along certain lines having to do with your oldest son, you would not have a cold. [...] Such inner remedies and such real remedies do not come in packages and you cannot pick them up at the supermarket, and they are not herbs to be eaten for breakfast though these will serve as an in-between measure and there is nothing wrong with in-between measures. [...]

[...] Now, you will pick up with your physical senses precisely what you are interested in. [...]

Your scientific principles have been formulated either through direct interpretation of matter as perceived through the outer senses, or formulated indirectly but in accordance with such perception. They cannot therefore be thought to apply to dimensions unperceived by the outer senses. [...]

[...] Your time sense gives it and all matter the appearance of durability. The energy that composes the smallest or any physical unit, passes through the physical field where the outer senses can no longer perceive it. [...]

[...] This does not apply only to the reality of human personality, but to that basic inner and smallest unit, individual prime consciousness that is at the core of any psychic gestalt. [...]

[...] The offered bank loan represented your inner realization of what had occurred, offering really another chance that you were not able to take.

[...] There was the feeling, the inner fear that you do not have freedom of motion in the economic or professional sphere—the fear, quite simply, that you were not going to make it. [...]

[...] You refused to add another, and at the same time you did not face the inner problem that was bothering you, that made the comfort so necessary to begin with. [...]

[...] The act itself was symbolic, and the dog picked up all of your attitudes through its own sense of communication.

[...] Whenever you find yourself projecting failure in any sense into the future, even into tomorrow, stop yourself, remind yourself that your thoughts form reality.

[...] Some, because of excellent development, inner communication with the inner self, feel subconsciously secure enough to change focus spontaneously, as one might listen to one radio station and then another, still retaining knowledge of the basic “I” who listened.

[...] What psychologists do not understand, however, is that in deep levels of subconscious activity associations may spring from the inner self’s latent knowledge and experience of past lives.

[...] These may be called self-unifying associations, since merely by their presence in the uppermost layers of the subconscious they provide a unifying sense of psychic continuity; of which however the ego is not aware.

The ego cannot so change its focus, but the inner ego of which we have spoken is indeed the self that dreams, and is the “I” who experiences when the ego “I” sleeps.

[...] The inner senses will help you perceive other dimensions. [...]

Now, let you all for a moment remain quiet as I divest myself of those characteristics that you find so human and understanding, and remember that inner portions of yourselves also have existences that are as strange. [...]

If, for example, you believe that you are possessed of great inner wealth, you may have a dream about a king in a fine palace. [...] Inner wealth would be interpreted here in the same terms as worldly luxury. [...]

This inner space does not “displace” normal space, or knock it aside. Yet the creation of a definite inner environment or location is concerned.

I said (in connection with Practice Element 15) that inner space expands, but so does inner time. [...]

[...] In a certain sense they are freewheeling, in that they have their own kind of reality. [...]

INNER STORMS AND OUTER STORMS.

[...]

(Pause at 10:32.) Next chapter [Eighteen]: “Inner Storms and Outer Storms. [...]

[...] Overall weather patterns follow deeper inner rhythms of emotion.

[...] The great overall inner trust with which you were born forms the basis for the encompassing reliability of the physical earth. [...]

You must still deal with physical reality, for it is definitely the representation of inner data. I have said this constantly: Expectation is behind all sense data, and forms it. [...] Your physical condition in every way is a reflection of your inner expectations, accomplishments, and failures, and I have told you that any illness is the result of an inner distortion.

[...] Obviously the sense data appears the same. [...]

Whenever you are attached in any way, whenever consciousness is attached to a physical organism, then inner data will be interpreted in physical terms. [...]

[...] The intellect has been trained unfortunately to deal almost exclusively with the results of sense data. [...]

[...] When you immerse yourselves completely in physical reality, then you have no time for the inner voice. [...]

[...] Now, there is a way—when you are involved in physical activity, and even intense mental work—to change the inner focus so that you are aware of two realities at once and can manipulate quite easily in the physical reality as you must. [...]

[...] And our friend Ruburt is quite correct, you (WL) learn the nature of the inner self first....and then we shall help you in the development of your own abilities. [...]

[...] but also a sense of rivalry. [...]

Animals have a sense of justice that you do not understand, and built-in to that innocent sense of integrity there is a biological compassion, understood at the deepest cellular levels.

(Pause.) What is usually forgotten is the real nature of aggressiveness, which in its truest sense simply means forceful action. [...]

[...] To do it you must have a sense of courage and adventuresomeness; and tell yourself that you refuse to be cowed by ideas that after all belong to you, but are not you.

[...] The fact is that man began to believe in demons when he started to feel a sense of guilt. [...]

Through it all each one of us felt a penetrating nostalgia for those vanished classes, for they’d been truly unique; I don’t think it would be possible to recapture their particular, innocent, lasting sense of excitement and exploration. [...]

You live your lives through your own subjective knowing, to begin with, and I will try to arouse within your own consciousnesses memories of events with which your own inner psyches were intimately involved as the world was formed—and though these may appear to be past events, they are even now occurring.

[...] All That Is, then, began to feel a growing sense of pressure as it¹ realized that its own ever-multiplying thoughts and dreams themselves yearned to enjoy those greater gifts of creativity with which they were innately endowed.

[...] I am saying that this mental progeny included all of the consciousnesses that [have] ever appeared or will appear upon your earth—all tenderly couched: the first human being, the first insect—each with an inner knowledge of the possibilities of its development. [...]
