[...] Instead, the parents retain their own clear sense of identity and their individual characteristics, serving as clear examples to the children of loving, independent adults.

[...] Note 8 covers Jane’s inner experience and the details surrounding our house offer. [...]

[...] The authorities turned the contract down — but the authorities stood for the inner disciplinarians, and you did not want to share your road with the world; nor did you want, later, to share your driveway (for the Sayre house) with your neighbor.

Give us a moment … Because there are such inner connections as mentioned (at 11:25), your intents are going outward, to be picked up by others. [...]

[...] There must be a sense of almost severe integrity on your part at all times in connection with your abilities. [...]

[...] There will be direct experience of inner reality that is encountered most infrequently, and expansion of consciousness and a resulting fulfillment of your own personality.

(2. Did Cézanne “himself” have any sense of awareness, or of completion, connected with Jane’s book and the New York City show happening at the same time? [...]

[...] In most such instance, however, the inner work has been progressing in Framework 2, and suddenly emerges in Framework 1. Desire, faith, and beliefs are the keys.

Organ transplants, for example, could be accepted more easily from counterparts, so that you have a kind of inner subspecies, or subfamily if you prefer, that operates within the regular physical divisions that you recognize.

[...] But the four-fronted counterpart self’s own sense of continuity is not broken up; it persists outside of space and time, while its parts — the individual selves, or counterparts — live in space and time….”⁶

(Then, in the 44th session for April 15, 1964, Seth explained that in the inner universe, “Energy transformation and value fulfillment, both existing within the spacious present [or at once], add up to a durability that is at the same time spontaneous … and simultaneous.” [...]

“After lunch yesterday with a mild sense of horseplay, Rob had put a piece of fresh paper in my typewriter. [...]

[...] Such understanding is often experienced or sensed, however, sometimes as you are listening to music or when you are deeply stirred by emotion, and when you do not place a great distance between it and yourself.

[...] To attend to your life in such a fashion brings you into a clearer communication with the inner action of your own existence.

[...] He does not owe me a sense of commitment. [...]

Now Ruburt’s energies are being released, and once this process begins, as it has, then all the inner improvement will seem to appear at once, though they are the results of several months. [...] His idea to have long hair (smile) at this particular point is beneficial, for it means to him the luxury of both sexuality and sense, sensual extravagance. [...]

Now: Distorted ideas about sexuality prevent many people from attaining any close connection with the inner experience that continually stirs beneath ordinary consciousness. [...]

Males who are creatively gifted find themselves in some dilemma, for their rich, sensed creativity comes into direct conflict with their ideas of virility. [...]

[...] They resent having to get money from the government, from men who are not scientists, and they build up a false sense of comparative omnipotence in response — and that makes them less careful than they should be. [...]

“Man thinks of acts, for example, and acting and doing, but he does not identify himself with those inner processes that make acting and doing possible. [...]

[...] The ego is now under the control of what may be loosely called the inner self. [...]

[...] The survival personality’s inner self gives this reassembled ego concepts in the same way that, often, the subconscious gives the ego concepts in physical existence.

This reassembled ego then attempts to perceive these concepts in terms of sense perceptions, which are sent as communications to the physical individual at the other end. [...]

[...] From that viewpoint birth defects, or lifetime diseases of any kind, make no sense.

(Pause.) Many great contrasts of a social nature have the same kind of inner meaning; here whole groups of individuals chose particular life situations in which, for example, poverty and illness predominate, while other areas of the world (or of any given nation) enjoy the highest technological advances, wealth and prosperity. [...]

(Pause at 8:30.) His fears have to a strong extent come out into the open: the fear that he will not be able to go ahead or of blockage, that fear being physically translated—but again, it stands for an inner fear that he has creatively blocked, or psychically blocked, that he has learned—that his own fears stand in his own way and cannot be resolved, or that he is at an impasse. [...]

[...] An overconcern (underlined) about the mechanics of publication, or the necessity of publication, or the wheres and hows of publication, or a sense of responsibility about the work, can indeed cause difficulty, but the basic creative expression—which has been impeded in the past by fears—should still be encouraged. [...]

[...] As you mentioned following your parents’ deaths, there was a sense of aloneness. [...]

(I hardly expected this, since my own inner world is often in turmoil.)

(“On a biological basis, impulses are like [or can be compared to] emotional instincts; individually tuned, so that ideally impulses are stimuli toward action—that results as a consequence of complicated inner ‘unconscious’ computations. [...]

[...] It is significant that he has of late felt like standing unsupported, even if only briefly, for this means that he is beginning to sense a point of balance. [...]

Ruburt has emphasized the intellect’s critical qualities, so that they serve as an impetus to lead him to this opening that he knows exists, though he only senses it so far, and has experienced it but briefly. [...]

This is rather an important session, and your dream contests represent your desires to pay more attention again to inner realities. [...]

You perceive portions of such actions consciously, some subconsciously, some with the inner senses, but you do not perceive the whole action. [...]

[...] Using your terms again, and your scientific framework, when you look outward away from your planet, and when you assume that you are looking backward in time, you are simply looking into, or toward, what may be described for analogy’s sake, the center, or core, of an infinite sphere; which exists, you see, in your terms as far on the other side of the inner core, and in all directions. [...]

[...] He did not: therefore the enforced solitude, the narrowing of other interests until his vitality was forced in one direction, the inner direction. [...]

[...] He felt it was necessary to inhibit physical mobility in order to facilitate deeper penetration into inner reality.

[...] And it deals with causes in a way that makes sense out of all that has gone by; especially does it explain our repeated failures to break out of the vicious circle that has imprisoned us for the last five years.

[...] (Long pause.) The inner conflict, you see, appears in imbalances now within the system, where sets of muscles (pause) battle with other sets: this setup, the nervous hip disorders. [...]

[...] On the other hand Jane has an unerring sense of local direction, and mine is not very good.

[...] The idea of the spare, poor young artist or writer, living romantically in a garret or poor apartment, has served as a handy self-image for many in their early years, providing a sense of dignity that enabled such apprentices to make their way. [...]

[...] Abilities must be ultimately tied in with your greatest inner aspirations—not tied down by your fears.

[...] This arena is not a place, of course, but an inner state of gestalt consciousness. [...]

[...] I use the terms “dies” and “is reborn” because you make sense of them, but the body does not. [...]

Now: Man needs the feeling that he is progressing, but technological progress alone represents a comparatively shallow level unless it is backed up by a growth of emotional understanding—a progression of man’s sense of being at one with himself and with the rest of the natural world.

[...] The applied use of the imagination is one of the most distinguishing marks of your species, and the imagination is your connection between the inner worlds of reality and the exterior world of your experience. [...]
