“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Men and women are born with a sense of drama, a need of excitement. [...]

You forget many of your quite natural inclinations, feelings, and inner fantasies as you mature into adults, because they do not fit into the picture of the kind of people, or experience, or species you have been taught to believe you are. [...]

[...] It is not just that the universe knows you as you, but that you carry within yourself a knowledge of the universe also, and an innate, intimate, though unconscious, feeling of relationship, and a certain sense of identity with that cosmic heritage. [...]

Before that meeting, while consciously doing what they thought should be done—hiring detectives, searching down clues—they each followed inner directions without knowing it, because you are not taught to think of such things.

These were interruptions, and because of your attitudes you thought of them as troublesome interruptions: surely you would have sailed through your work otherwise, or performed chores that you wanted to accomplish; and so because you still do not really understand the effectiveness of Framework 2, those visits added to your sense of concern and hassles with time. [...]

Now: Ruburt himself hit upon the “heroic impulses”—and what he meant was this: that ideally speaking the individual’s impulses were inner directional signals that, followed, would automatically lead to the greatest fulfillment and development.

Give us a moment… Your universe did not emerge at any one point, therefore, or with any one initial cell — but everywhere it began to exist at once, as the inner pulsations of the invisible universe reached certain intensities that “impregnated” the entire physical system simultaneously.

[...] Within that framework they make sense. [...]

[...] Man learned to fly as he tried to exteriorize inner experience, for in out-of-body states in dreams he had long been familiar with flight. All excursions into outer reality come as the psyche attempts to reproduce in any given “exterior” world the inner freedom of its being.

[...] Basically, her examination of her inner dimensions must be a solitary one. [...]

[...] So when you begin to experiment with states of altered consciousness you often run into the same kind of phenomena, when nothing seems to make sense.

[...] On the other it was part of his method, a way of intensifying focus, increasing perception in a small area while also ensuring safety, so that inner excursions would be balanced by [conditions in his exterior environment] … He sees that the challenge has been won, and now it is time to take up the next one, to apply the power of the will to certain physical areas.

Your change of environment will be effected, again, far more easily than you think—because you have already made the inner changes necessary. The exterior alterations always follow the inner ones. [...]

[...] The implied sense of superiority is what made Ruburt so angry at authorities, so defiant. [...]

(Long pause at 10:01.) Others have indeed sensed me — Sue [Watkins]⁷ for example — but the relationship there is far different, and it is important for Ruburt that he have clear-cut areas, which I respect.

7. In Session 594 for the Appendix of Seth Speaks, see Sue’s material on how she sensed Jane’s and Seth’s “speeds” — as well as her own.

[...] Jane devoted Chapter 15 of Adventures to a discussion of the inner order of events and “unofficial” perceptions.

[...] He added more material on such frequencies along with the data on the inner senses, by the 50th session; then elaborated further in the material on the electrical universe, given in the sessions from 122 on. [...]

[...] The results of the other two actions are perceived by the inner ego.

The results are then checked by the inner ego against the action that was chosen for actuality within the physical system. [...]

The sensations are a physical demonstration of an inner sense reaction on a psychic basis, or level, which you have not yet achieved, and cannot be expected to. [...]

[...] The man that she married had not told her the truth about his inner self, this itch he had for freedom from worldly concerns.

[...] As people can turn their backs, she would turn her inner self away.

[...] When you are concentrating upon responsibility, however, then each lapse becomes a lapse from responsible action, and complicates the inner spontaneous rhythm that to a large degree is automatically maintained. [...]

It is further inhibited if that sense of responsibility is wedded to solving the problems of the world or of correspondents, or when such an attempt is allowed to tinge any book sessions. [...]

Ruburt is acutely sensitive then to your own inner purposes and questions about the universe, as you are to his, and these propel you jointly into areas most difficult to travel otherwise.

(11:15.) In your reality it seems only practical and sane to accept the evidence of your senses. [...]

[...] The taboos include most aspects of the sense of touch in connection with the human body.

The more able the child is to force such an artificial identification, the greater its feelings of inner rebellion. [...]

[...] With some people, they are so secure that they provide an overall, fairly permanent inner and outer framework. [...] The bonding did not secure him that vital sense of safety, and he felt threatened by abandonment. [...]

On April 12 the space shuttle Columbia was launched into orbit around the earth, and I thought that Jane was complementing that obvious exploration of outside space by exploring inner space with the only vehicle she had available—her own mind. [...]

Jane’s overall symptoms worsened, and I sensed connections between her situation and the arrival of Mass Events. [...]

[...] I felt upon my heart the heavy unkind mark of Cain, sensing that humanity carries (unfairly) the almost indelible strain—the tragic flaw—[of] being tinged by sin and ancient iniquities. [...]

[...] We feel no sense of corroboration. [...]

[...] I think that Marie’s domineering rage at the world (chosen by her, never forget) deeply penetrated Jane’s developing psyche, and—again in those terms—caused her to set up repressive, protective inner barriers that could be activated and transformed into physical signs at any time, under certain circumstances. [...]

In these last few pages (since I began discussing my beliefs about Jane’s early psychological conditioning), I’ve indicated the only kind of thinking by which I can personally make sense out of our world these days. [...]

I think the beliefs the three of us hold are very creative ones; we accept them on that basis; they are as good “proofs” as we can currently get, and offer their own answers by sparking us into new ways of trying to make sense out of our reality. [...]

[...] This generates a sense of disapproval, of course. [...]

[...] The experiences he had, of better imagined walking, for example, are important indications of inner resolutions, and that the body is making progress. [...]

These feelings were also based upon youthful feelings, that a woman’s biology could be a threat to a writer, so there was a base there that made a certain sense to Ruburt.

To him it was a direct action taken against something that annoyed him—the dust—an act of independence since he did it, and a symbolic clearing away of inner debris. [...]

[...] The inner conditions are being righted, but Ruburt must see himself in his mind walking better—not perfectly but better for now, and he has begun in point of power to learn how to do that.

Now it does no good to say that the other person should have more sense then to be affected, for usually the other person has their problem because of the same kind of reaction. [...]

[...] Knowledge must be given to you in such a way that it makes sense within your particular framework.

[...] In the sort of work you are doing, both creatively in your arts and in your psychic work, the inner activities and developments run below surface and are unseen. [...]

[...] You may die at eighty and after death think of the youth and vitality that you had at twenty, and find then that your form changes to correspond with this inner image.

[...] Now what your senses tell you about the nature of matter is entirely erroneous, and what they tell you about space is equally wrong — wrong in terms of basic reality, but quite in keeping of course with three-dimensional concepts. [...]

[...] Perhaps if she attains a sense of inner peace and protection she will come to naturally make such choices; doing which will encourage her feeling of personal freedom and safety instead of threatening it.

[...] This fear may be based on outmoded ideas—as Seth has mentioned at various times—it may make no sense, or whatever, yet as long as it exists it must be dealt with. [...]

They may misinterpret its nature, project it outside of themselves, turn it into a hobby, a chore, a religion, an art, a rigorous set of laws—but reading my books, they recognize the authority of the inner psyche. [...]

[...] In that regard he does not have the same kind of inner experience with which to back up my words. [...]
