“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I want you, therefore, one by one, to open the inner senses and to direct them along these lines. [...] In fact it will help you, for even hidden within the flesh are mechanisms that [will] help the inner senses [to] operate even in this environment. And so one by one, the inner senses can begin to operate so that what you see can become clear, and what you hear can become vocal and clear and strong. [...] I want you to recognize the core of identity within yourselves that is familiar with this inner environment, for from your viewpoint other realities also open. [...]

[...] I want you to freely open the inner eyes and see their faces. Open the inner core and hear their voices. [...]

[...] The inner senses, however, are free. [...]

[...] I want you to realize that you are indeed highly perceptive, that around you and about you in all directions the inner senses reach. [...]

It is important that you tie in this material with previous data on the inner senses. They are always paramount in evolutionary development, being the impetus behind the physical formations. … The inner senses themselves, through the use of mental enzymes, imprint the data contained in the mental genes onto the physical camouflage material.

But that night, Mark insisted that Seth had read his mind and listened spellbound as Seth told him about the inner senses. None of us suspected that Seth would give Mark detailed information about the inner organization for which he worked, or help him understand personal problems, or delight in telling him what had gone on at sales conferences that Mark had already attended — or with a great rush of humor tell him the exact amount of a new raise he had just been given. [...]

That night, Seth emphasized only the importance of inner reality and the validity of the inner senses that made nonphysical knowledge available whenever we were ready to admit it. [...]

Now people who believe strongly in your organized religions are used to thinking in terms of an inner world. For that reason, many of them have been recipients of inner data from others like myself. [...]

The chemical changes brought about by such outside agents as drugs to some degree rob the inner self of its usual directive abilities, for the changes occur before the inner self has gathered itself together. [...]

[...] It is true that you focus within the physical system mainly, yet the inner self is highly mobile and embarks simultaneously upon a variety of projections. [...]

What you must understand is that the psychedelic experience represents but a glimmering of the constant state of the inner self: not constant in terms of something static, however. [...]

The chemical doorway into inner reality is indeed a doorway. [...]

These organizations then serve as awakeners or stimulation to inner portions of the self, always providing it with fresh experience. The inner self responds through the richness of its own psychic fabric, sending up, so to speak, ever-new particularized abilities to meet the exterior circumstances.

[...] On the other hand technology brings within your reach the great therapy of music; this activates the inner living cells of your body, stimulates the energy of the inner self and helps to unite the conscious mind with the other portions of your being.

Music is an exterior representation, and an excellent one, of the life-giving inner sounds that act therapeutically within your body all the time. (See Chapter Five.) The music is a conscious reminder of those deeper inner rhythms, both of sound and of motion. [...]

The conscious mind can, for instance, see a rose as a symbol of life or death, or joy or sadness, and under certain conditions its interpretation of a simple flower can trigger deep experiences that call up power and strength from the inner resources of being. [...]

[...] Neither is it aware of the manner in which the inner self creates physical matter. Neither, therefore, is it aware of those distortions that cause it to construct faults within physical matter, for in all cases the physical matter of the human body will be subconsciously created in line with inner conditions.

The inner self does indeed have an overall conception of the goals and strengths of the personality. It is then this inner self that must be searched for the answers. [...]

[...] In order to perceive other realities, you must therefore switch from your outer senses to the inner senses, for the inner senses are clearer, and are equipped to perceive action and reality as it exists independently of the distortions given to it by the physical senses.

[...] As the condition of your planet in its entire political and social structure reflects the innermost neuroses in every individual, so indeed does the physical individual organism reflect the inner condition of each personality.

The inner senses therefore should also be used as fully as the outer senses. Experience within both realities lets the inner or whole self know more fully its own potentialities and its own selfness.

[...] He was neither wholly oriented to the inner world nor to the outer, and therefore was not efficient in either.

[...] And then the switch to use of the inner senses. [...]

The outer senses are dulled, but the inner senses have not yet been turned on. [...]

[...] If you become proficient in the use of the third Inner Sense [perception of past, present, and future] when cognition is more or less spontaneous, then you can utilize the conceptual sense with more freedom. [...] Unless you use the Inner Senses in this manner, you will only receive a glimmering of a concept, regardless of its simplicity.”

“The fourth Inner Sense involves direct cognition of a concept in much more than intellectual terms. [...]

As you know therefore we have differentiated between an outer ego, who manipulates within physical reality, and an inner ego who directs the activities of the inner self. [...] In the main, the ego deals with secondary realities, and in the main, the inner ego deals with primaries.

[...] The inner I operates very well without them. In order to manipulate a physical reality however, the inner I needs a self that is acclimated to physical conditions; hence the ego.

My remark in our last session, concerning the aid that Ruburt subconsciously gave me in connection with the voice effect, did not have to do with the inner voice heard by Philip. [...]

[...] It is only that these must be recognized as secondary conditions that do not therefore basically (underlined) affect the inner self, which is to a large degree independent of your system.

[...] This will lead up to the basic communication used by human personalities as you understand them, and point out these inner communications as existing independently of the physical senses (pause), which are merely physical extensions of inner perception.

There will be a final chapter in which I will ask the reader to close his eyes and become aware of the reality in which I exist, and of his own inner reality. [...] In this chapter I will invite the reader to use his inner senses, to see me in his own way. [...]

[...] See the description of her inner images during session. [...]

[...] This was highly interesting for Jane’s data speculated about the inner image with “no hair at the sides, or perhaps bald.” [...]

Yet the inner self offers so many answers, for the inner self is a portion of each individual; and yet it operates outside of physical systems of reference. [...]

[...] Again, the inner self has limitless intensities of pulsation available to it. When the inner self in its constant motion travels through an impulse range which it has once experienced, to the ego this will appear as a journey into the past.

[...] I also had a feeling of enlargement and projection, an inner projection. [...]

[...] We have seen that the ego begins, sparked into being, by the inner self, greatly influenced by heredity and physical environment; and that this ego as it continues to exist gradually builds up an electrical reality of its own, as its experiences form into coded data within the cells.

(Yesterday, deliberately, I mentioned to Jane that Seth had not given us any more material on the inner senses for many sessions. What I meant of course was that he had not catalogued the later material under the various inner senses, as he had originally designated them. [...] Checking the various categories of material against the original list of the inner senses, it was usually easy to see where the two fit together.

While we are somewhat on the subject, I have not forgotten that we have left behind our discussions on the inner senses, and really with good reason. When we return to the inner senses again, we will be able to discuss them in further depth because of the material that we have covered in the meantime.

[...] We are heading here indeed, slowly but surely, toward a thorough discussion of the inner senses, which could not be given until you had a good background in the nature of action itself. For you should be able to see now that the inner senses allow a more faithful perception of basic reality than the outer senses could ever give.

[...] Colors may even be perceived through an inner sense of balance. [...]

In the 45th session for April 20, 1964, I find Seth saying: “Einstein traveled within and trusted his own intuitions, and used his inner senses. He would have discovered much more had he been able to trust his intuitions even more, and able to leave more of the so-called scientific proof of his theories to lesser men, to give himself more inner freedom.”

[...] Though I may emphasize the importance of inner reality in this book, therefore, I am in no way denying the great validity and purpose of earthly experience. [...]

[...] He was able to listen to the inner voice of matter. [...]

Give us a moment … There are inner structures within matter. [...]

[...] The feelings however are the tail end of inner cognizance, and we will use the sounds to carry us further and further into those inner landscapes where both objects and their representatives must finally desert us.

[...] Use of it however will allow you to more clearly perceived your own inner reality, your physical and psychic experience. You will no longer translate inner experience with the same automatic glibness into stereotyped verbal patterns of images, but will be far better able to experience it for itself.

[...] These will be the beginnings of somewhat more profound methods of working through the inner senses.

[...] For physical reasons of course you need that camouflage interpretation, but you also need to learn the difference between it and inner cognizance.

The inner world of each man and woman is connected with the inner world of the earth. [...]

[...] The inner self chose them. To a large extent, the inner self can even now alter many of them. [...]

[...] There is no effect in the exterior world that does not spring from an inner source. [...]

[...] Using this analogy the mountains and oceans, the valleys and rivers and all natural phenomena spring from the earth’s soul, as all events and all manufactured objects appear from the inner mind or soul of mankind.

[...] These will involve the utilization of some of the inner senses, for which you have no objective sense-correlations. You will understand situations better in daily life, because you will have activated inner abilities that allow you to subjectively perceive the reality of other people in a way that children do.

There is an inner knack, allowing for greater sensitivity to the feelings of others than you presently acknowledge. [...] Again, the powers of the brain come from the mind, so while you learn to center your consciousness in your body — and necessarily so — nevertheless your inner perceptions roam a far greater range. [...]

[...] While external stimuli are highly important, the inner stimuli of dream play are even more so.

You have inner senses that roughly correlate with your physical ones. [...]

The healthy physical body, therefore, is eloquent testimony of inner balance. And in all cases of illness, the inner cause must be uncovered; not only uncovered intellectually, but understood intuitively if recovery is to take place.

These constructions exist definitely in terms of atomic structure, but of such different densities and speeds that you are unaware of them though they are perceived by the inner senses, and utilized by the subconscious and inner self as a very important reality.

[...] Coordination and communication between the inner and outer ego is also a strong factor here. [...]

[...] An individual’s physical constructions therefore are projected by him onto and into material, in answer to inner psychological purpose.

^* Inner vibrational touch is one of our Inner Senses. [...]

[...] “Number fifty-eight: Are there any more Laws of the Inner Universe, other than those you gave in the 50th session for May 4, 1964?”)

[...] That was a portrait of Joseph; in other words of your own inner identity as you intuitively perceived it at the time. [...]

[...] You have been connected with the same entity, though you have sprung apart from it, but the inner relationship adds to the power available. [...]

The greatest Speakers do not only translate and communicate inner data, but also go much further into these inner realms of reality than others connected with your physical system. They add, then, to the basic inner data. [...]

[...] The Speakers are gifted according to their own characters, some having far more abilities than others, but all playing roles in the communication of inner data. [...]

[...] As certain physical data are carried along in the gene structure, so this inner information is codified within whatever psychological structures the Speakers may inhabit; but far more readily available than it is to other personalities. [...]

The original source of the Speaker data is the inner knowledge of the nature of reality that is within each individual. [...]

[...] They are physical landmarks of psychic and artistic inner journeys, but what you do with your consciousness, how you extend it, is even more important, for as physical play is meant to lead to a future physical body that is mature and fulfilled, so the creative nature of that kind of inner play leads to future extended consciousness, an inner being that is the mature version of an earlier self. [...]

The inner creative man knows, as the child did, that the way will be cleared. There was Miss Bowman, there was art school and so forth—so I want you to remember that inner man. [...] They have unfortunate effects only when you do not trust the inner self. [...]

[...] In conventional art you end up with a product on many such occasions—a book or painting or whatever—as you attempt to define in physical terms the reality of an inner existence with which you have always been familiar, and to leave in physical reality some evidence, however slight, of inner visions that flicker within all consciousness. [...]

[...] The child does not consciously exercise his or her legs so that they will be strong, but simply joyfully follows the inner impulse to do so. [...]

Your inner perceptions will often come in this manner then. [...] Ruburt’s inner perceptions often take the auditory, you see. [...] Therefore inner data is directed, often, into that channel, for it will impress him vividly.

You are being given directions and suggestions. (Pause.) You are of course amiable to inner visual stimuli, and used to interpreting reality in highly specialized forms, through visual data.

[...] That does not mean that all inner perceptions will be restricted to these particular channels. [...]

He did very well with his class, not only by holding our session (see the last session, Jane’s first without my presence), but by releasing and vocalizing his deep inner convictions. [...]
