“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I felt a small sense of shock. [...]

[...] Then later that night, relaxed, sitting on the bed, somehow those inner perceptions (of mine) would have surfaced … but without revealing their source. [...]

Why didn’t Rob pick up the inner information and begin the discussion instead of me, since they’re his paintings? [...]

Some now made perfect sense. [...]

[...] Inner data is immediately aroused through conscious and unconscious association. [...] But in that instant, inner computations occur as you consider making a fairly simple decision, and the immediate area is checked against all portions of your knowledge.⁷

[...] You can see yourselves operate in space, however; to that extent it is a known quality, apparent to the senses. [...]

[...] (Long pause, eyes closed.) These are not just esoteric statements, but valid clues about the nature of your own behavior, meant to give you a sense of your own freedom, and to emphasize the importance of your choice.

If you stand
at your porchstep
you can sense the
universe
at your fingertips.

[...] The speakers are those inner voices that first taught you physical languages. [...]

[...] In a sense you are your own parents as you attempt to bring into physical reality an entirely new body of concepts and beliefs. [...]

[...] The intellect feels the truth of such issues, even if it does not fully understand the inner reasons or technicalities involved. [...]

[...] They are signposts to inner portions of body and mind, deeply reassuring, and can serve to combat the negative suggestions that are often so numerous. [...]

Both of you, remembering the article you read this evening (about Picasso), should keep in mind the immense energies of the inner self to solve such problems, to set the personality aright, and literally get it back on its feet. [...]

[...] When you concentrate upon the symptoms you often then forget the abilities of the inner self and the vast reservoir of help available. [...]

[...] A sense of defeat is connected with the railings. [...]

The next episode didn’t involve Seth directly, except that I was following his directions in the use of the Inner Senses. [...]

[...] In a very deep trance, the inner processes are hidden even from the medium. With most mediums the mechanics are so automatic that little can be learned about the inner psychological actions involved in such work. [...]

[...] The tests, and Seth’s comments, also gave us insights into the nature of inner perception that literally could not have been achieved in any other way.

[...] Now, in certain conditions, however, the inner self abandoning its usual reliance upon the physical senses is aware of these periods that would seem to you to be negations. [...]

[...] I am no poet but then thinking of one of Ruburt’s poems, then think of the brain, indeed, as a web you form about the inner self. [...]

I want you to understand the nature of your inner self or, for your friend over here (to Joel Hess) the nature of your soul, for it is a focal point of reality from which other realities spring and not imprisoned in tiny boxes of days or weeks or months, or even of centuries. [...]

[...] You will learn them through listening to your own inner self. [...]

[...] Looking back, I’m sure that I sniffed danger as surely as any animal who senses something strange and new in his environment — or as any adult when threatened by a change in the status quo. [...]

[...] The senses are channels of projection by which ideas are projected outward to create the world of appearances.

[...] A species at any given time is the materialization of the inner images or ideas of its individual members, each of whom forms their own idea constructions.

[...] Hence his groping, his sense of alienation from nature, his search for a Cause or Creator of a creation he no longer recognized as his own.

[...] Then begin to imagine this inner self rising upward. You should experience even at this point an internal sense of motion. [...]

[...] When you have induced the trance state, then begin to examine your own subjective feelings until you find recognition of the inner self.

[...] In this sense perhaps it can be said the object had a meaning assigned to it concerning the future. [...]

A study of any up-to-date scientific thesis on the nature of sensual perception in general will show you that sense data exists independent of the perceiver, yet not necessarily in physical terms.

[...] Now if you are in poor health, and have a physician, you had better continue going to him, because you still rely on that system of belief — but use these exercises as supplements to build up your own sense of inner health, and to protect you against any negative suggestions given by your doctor. [...]

[...] You reinforce them constantly through the normal inner talking in which you all indulge.

(9:38.) This inner communication acts like the constant repetition of a hypnotist. [...]

[...] There is no way to probe the realities of consciousness except that a personality travels through all levels of consciousness open to him, and do so in such a way that he can retain and apply the information that he receives in these inner travels.

[...] We shall have you using your physical senses to a much higher degree than is normal with you now.

[...] The inner ego however can be utilized in such a dissociated state as such a director of activities, with sufficient training. [...]

You have what you may think of then as a split action, where one portion of the self, the inner ego, is allowed to travel through the other states of action that compose the whole self, purposefully as a director, and retain the knowledge thereby received.

[...] Disastrous courses can be averted through such inner communications and illuminations, whether or not the ego is aware of them.

[...] I am familiar with the inner portions of your selves that you also know, however, but that the egotistical self has hidden from you, and so I must think constantly to myself: ‘Oh, yes, our Lady of Venice [Seth’s affectionate term for a class member] thinks that she sits in this specific room at this specific hour, and is wearing a blue outfit.’

[...] I must remember that she is not aware of these, and when I speak to her I must use a designation that will make sense to her at this particular time.

[...] The inner portions of your selves know this well. [...]

[...] It would sense the body’s interstate condition. [...]

[...] There are natural bodily reactions, however, and psychological reactions that may seem natural, but that often are contrary to the body’s knowledge, and that can block that knowledge with the sense of reassurance that it can bring. [...]

[...] It did not understand the inner communication of the animals, and certainly it did not admit any altruistic animal intent. [...]

(11:10–11:43.) Now: even before you met each other many of your private abilities, and the thrust of your intellects and intuitions, made no sense in Darwinian or Freudian terms. [...]

The sense of work, dedication and commitment has finally been given on Ruburt’s part, and the energy and vitality that has always been available to him can now be practically used to both of your advantages.

It is literally impossible for you, and it is a logistic contradiction to imagine, with your physical structures, that any perception can be received unless the perceiver’s own inner situation is altered. [...]

[...] Now this applies to any data, whether it be physical in the usual sense of the word, telepathic, clairvoyant or otherwise.

[...] A strong emotional basis did not exist therefore, and under the circumstances the results were surprisingly good, and they will make sense, if not now then later.

[...] “It’s a real richness of sense data. [...]

[...] He saw for himself how they perfectly mirrored his inner image of himself.

[...] So this evening the senses were allowed their freedom, but the experience was magnified by his psychic sensitivity.

The same artificial need to vindicate being is present in many of my readers, and various core beliefs may be built up to hide this inner insecurity. [...]

[...] She began to sense the pyramid at break, after Seth had finished. [...]

[...] Yours is simply not one that I have pursued, and one of the purposes of my appearance at these sessions is to acquaint the one you call Ruburt with inner travel, for he must leave the system as you know it, and in doing so set up habits and paths that can be used to advantage.

[...] She only vaguely sensed the pyramid.

The inner portions of your own identity and reality are not known to you, for you cannot objectify them and therefore you do not perceive them. [...]

The act of seeing, and all of the body’s senses, are dependent upon this inner spontaneity.

The walking progress is already assured because of inner physical events now occurring. [...]

[...] The few minutes for badminton are important, and gently familiarize Ruburt with the sense of quicker motion. [...]

[...] This certainly involved strains and stresses as well as rewards: but none that couldn’t be resolved with a sense of humor and some common sense. [...]

[...] If we could keep our attention on these past events and still concentrate on the present ones simultaneously, then our sense of present time would be immeasurably enlarged.

[...] It also supposes that all knowledge comes to us through the physical senses. [...]

[...] We do have access to information that does not come through the physical senses. [...]

[...] The fact that thoughts and emotions have an actuality outside of the subjective sense may appear appalling to some. [...]

[...] Dreams, also being electric actualities, depend upon an electric system of patterns to communicate their data to the various levels or areas of the inner self.

[...] Dreams are particularly interesting from this viewpoint, as the original dream experience is a direct electrical experience, decoded electrically, subjectively then translated for the various areas of the inner self. [...]
