“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Dictation: This inner universe (pause) is a gestalt formed by fields of awareized energy that contains what we will call “information” for now—but we will have some comments later, for this is not the kind of information you are used to.

Each unit of consciousness inherently possesses within itself all of the information available to the whole, and its specific nature when it operates as a particle rests upon that great “body” of inner knowledge. [...]

(10:12.) Man’s dreams have always provided him with a sense of impetus, purpose, meaning, and given him the raw material from which to form his civilizations. [...]

You wondered, really, if such a reality were possible, and if some people were really so blind—but the inner self provides certain safeguards, and the universe is a caring one, so that even those people are given some inner version. [...]

[...] Even those people, therefore, who deny the validity of anything but the most materialistic philosophy, sometimes dream unmaterialistic dreams, and in their unguarded moments they sense the greater source from which their materialistic world springs. [...]

[...] (Half humorously.) At the same time that these sexual feelings operated, the two of you have an extremely powerful psychic bond, and a hidden but definite sense of inner identity.

The sense of loyalty was anchored in you, and you both decided upon it before this existence. Therefore you may sense in Ruburt at times confusing inclinations toward high independence in one area, and a self-denying dependence in another. [...]

Now when Ruburt senses a strong disruption in these main areas he will act up, and strongly. [...]

Now I suggested that we move our sessions back here for the reasons given, but also because I knew that to Ruburt this meant an implied greater sense of togetherness on your parts, and of secrecy. [...]

The fear is the result of the mother’s mockery of the father, and I believe this will make sense to Ruburt even consciously. [...] And Joseph, we will go into the inner senses shortly. [...]

[...] In past lives he was never temperate, neither in a physical sense, emotionally or intellectually. [...]

These personalities, often talented in many directions and often with past experiences of wealth and power, choose to be born as Jews of their own volition, and this is a karmic compensation, not in any sense punishment but a needed adjustment on the part of the personalities involved.

[...] In one sense there is no excuse for what occurred. [...]

[...] Otherwise they would make no sense to you at all.

It is also automatically transformed according to your beliefs, so that it makes sense to you at least to some degree. [...]

[...] (More powerfully:) You do not trust your inner selves enough, or realize the creative ferment brewing. [...]

[...] Obviously these are not apparent to the physical senses, yet they are strong energy centers that to some degree do stimulate the physical senses toward activity. [...]

[...] The inner impetus toward development, however, came from the innate comprehension of future probabilities. [...]

[...] You have inner affiliations. [...] I will outline the inner psychic species, and it is up to you to discover to which one you belong.

[...] They spend time searching for their soul mates — but the search involves them in a pilgrimage for a kind of impossible communication with another, in which all division is lost, with the two then trying to join in a cementing oneness, suffocating all sense of play or creativity. [...]

[...] Yet each is supported through a common sense of belonging, so that the group sometimes seems to have its own overall identity, in which each member plays a part. [...]

[...] Yet in each case the relationships noted indicate inner realizations and connections. [...]

Ruburt found great comfort in the church as a young person, for if it created within its members the image of a Sinful Self, it also of course provided a steady system of treatment—a series of rituals that gave the individual some sense of hope the Sinful Self could be redeemed, as in most of Christianity’s framework through adherence to certain segments of Christian dogma. [...]

[...] Its only methods of dealing with such guilt involve standard psychoanalytic counseling—which itself deepens the dilemma, for counseling itself is based upon the idea that the inner self is a reservoir of savage impulses. [...]

At the time the sessions began (pause), the world was beginning to seem senseless, truly incomprehensible, to anyone who held any sense of poetry or sanity. [...]

[...] It would make a lot of sense, I said, if it were true, and would account for things like an obsession with work, giving up other life activities, etc.—all done in a disguised attempt to appease that Sinful Self that merrily carried on year after year.... [...]

[...] He felt a sense of accomplishment, and some delight with himself when he walked to the end of the room and back without needing the chair. [...]

[...] Allow it a sense of accomplishment as it progresses. [...]

[...] I said this before, and you have never really followed through, but if Ruburt would note down whatever feelings of release he has, or whatever improvements he senses, and if you would both recognize those as accomplishments, they would greatly improve in number and quality. [...]

[...] The only hint I can give you for your benefit is one, again, that I have given you often before: try to imagine Ruburt’s complete recovery as a creative endeavor—a creative venture, in which all kinds of inner events occur even before, and way before, the completed picture shows itself.

There is a great sense of humility, and yet a great sense of exaltation as the inner self senses its freedom when death occurs. [...]

[...] I felt during the process the inevitability, the recognition, even a sense of familiarity: “Of course, this particular dying is mine and no other.” And I accepted even the most bizarre circumstances then, feeling almost a sense of perfection. [...]

[...] She experienced a sense of expansion, an impression of great crowds. [...]

[...] I sensed, I think, that she wasn’t too sure about her move to the city in North Carolina — Raleigh? [...]

[...] On the other hand, the young Del was also a symbol for your own inner self, acting as a guide and companion.

[...] Even then, however, all creatures are sustained by that innate gift, that inner sense of security that not only propels creatures toward life, but safely conducts them past physical life and past death’s doorway.

[...] Because the body has its own sense there were always periods when it rebelled, when physical improvements showed. [...]

[...] On the other hand it was part of his method, a way of intensifying focus, increasing perception in a small area while also insuring safety, so that inner excursions would be balanced by a constant worrisome body that would urge him to return.

[...] Ruburt was simply not confident enough in the Father Trainor episode last evening to adequately perform the inner manipulations necessary, without your presence. [...]

[...] She began the reading all right but soon felt a sense of strain. [...]

[...] I sense color, perhaps orange, yellow; but I get the impression of something sunny, as an orange-yellow color would be. [...]

They will end up providing proofs that your scientists require, but they will serve a purpose closer to my heart, in that they will display the operating procedure of the human personality as it manipulates inner perceptions.

[...] The physical senses are not, underline not, utilized. At the moment of perception the traveling consciousness perceives through the inner senses, and by itself automatically makes the necessary adjustments so that the ego can perceive the data in its accustomed way.

I use the word directly loosely, for only the inner senses can really contact them without the necessity of distortions. [...]

[...] Seth has said before that he does not give any envelope data that could have resulted either from Jane’s sense of touch, or sight, and this has never been a problem in these experiments.

[...] She had that sense of energy she gets under such circumstances, when she knows “the energy is not mine.”)

[...] Only by looking quietly within the self that you know can your own reality be experienced, with those connections that exist between the present or immediate self and the inner identity that is multidimensional.

Each reader, however, should in one way or another sense his own vitality in a way quite new to him, and find avenues of expansion opening within himself of which he was earlier unaware. [...]

I hope that in one way or another this book of mine has served to give each of you an introduction to the inner multidimensional identity that is your own.

In terms of your beliefs and in terms of deeper truths, man is related to the ape, so his experience also brings an even more substantial sense of belonging to the earth, and identification with the utter rightness of instinct.

[...] In his own way however Ruburt began a shaman’s journey for himself, letting the psyche’s images become alive, and the inner workings of the mind made more obvious.

[...] Your present sense of security and relative detachment gave her strength. [...]

[...] That voice might tell him to commit any of a number of nefarious actions — to assassinate the enemies that stand in the way of his great ideal — and it might seem to him and to others that he has a natural impulse to kill, and indeed an inner decree from God to do so.

[...] It is the force, the power of the muscle to move, or the eye to see, of the mind to think, the power of the emotions — these represent true power, and no accumulation of wealth or acclaim can substitute for that natural sense of power if it is lacking. [...]

[...] The businessman who believed in Darwinian principles and the fight for survival, who justified injustice and perhaps thievery to his ideal of surviving in a competitive world — he suddenly turns into a fundamentalist in religious terms, trying to gain his sense of power now, perhaps, by giving away the wealth he has amassed, all in a tangled attempt to express a natural idealism in a practical world.

[...] Tell him he does not have to be spiritually, psychically, or creatively perfect in order to have good health, in the particular way I gave that statement; remind him, for he is equating perfect health with inner perfection, and no human being attains inner perfection. [...]

He has the idea that good health is a reward for excellent inner performance, and part of this attitude is because of a literal and uncompromising misinterpretation of my remarks that the physical body is the direct materialization of the inner condition.

[...] His symptoms became a hanger upon which you could hang your joint dissatisfactions, his physical condition an easy mark to stand for what both of you considered inner imperfections; again, connected mainly with your creative endeavors.

[...] This is extremely important, for this is a strong belief with him now; and he did not see the humor when he heard what I said—it made perfect sense to him. [...]

To begin with, Augustus was brought up to believe that the inner self was dangerous, that individuals reacted because of inner conflicts over which they had little conscious control. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The conscious mind will always attempt to make sense out of its beliefs, to form them into patterns and sequences. [...]

[...] It does not originate within the inner self. [...]
