“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To Florence.) And I would like you, dear Lady of Florence, to be aware of the questions asked by your inner self and not follow the intellect around like a puppy following its tail from one circle without answer to another for you limit the extent of your imagination in such a way. [...]

[...] The inner self keeps propelling you to class, however, even though your intellect becomes more frenzied. [...]

[...] I wrote the following poem which is mentioned later by Seth as an indication of the inner knowledge that was almost ready to burst into consciousness.

Time and time again, the inner centers of our being come to our aid through subjective promptings — either in waking, dream or trance states. [...]

[...] The first portion of this book will therefore deal with this material and with our first explorations into that inner reality.

[...] The unconscious, the color black, and death all have strongly negative connotations in which the inner self is feared; the dream state is mistrusted and often suggests thoughts of both death and/or evil. [...]

Individual psychological mechanisms are activated, sometimes, in terms of neurosis or other mental problems; these bring out into the open inner challenges or dilemmas that otherwise would be worked out more easily through an open give-and-take of conscious and unconscious reality —

Illumination concerning the inner self may appear clearly during waking reality, and in the same way invaluable information about the conscious self may be received in the dream state. [...]

Study and practice with psychological time will show you the validity and strength of that inner self, so that you will clearly see that it is not completely bound to the so-called objective universe by any means. [...]

Value fulfillment represents an extension of the inner self in its journey into this reality. [...]

[...] The matter of this reality, of which you know so little, will be the basis for future discussions, and indeed your inner senses will aid you in the perception of some of its facets.

Now you have been given a small insight into the ways in which your inner memories work. [...]

[...] Follow minutely, even in class, the reactions that you have one to another, and they will lead you to inner pathways. [...]

(To Arnold.) You can experience it, and then let the intellect figure out what the inner self has learned. [...]

[...] Do you think that the inner world is not as rich, even more rich, more valid? [...]

[...] Electrons, for example, are slow dullards in comparison with EE units.¹ It goes without saying that the units of consciousness are “mental,” or if you prefer, disembodied, though from their inner organization all physical forms emerge. [...]

The great communication system within the body itself is dependent, then, upon the constant inner flux and flow of these units. [...]

[...] The greater inner reality of the psyche, however, is as extensive as outer space seems to be.

Psychologically and physically, however, you send out dream bulletins all the while in a constant inner communication. [...]

[...] The inner multidimensional shape of events occurs in a framework that you cannot structure, however, because as a rule you are not focused in that direction. [...]

[...] Physically there are very beneficial changes occurring, but these are the results of those inner determinations. [...]

[...] These few statements, however, will help him, and help him enlarge on an inner circle of acquaintanceship with friendly colleagues that belong in those other categories, but are indeed friendly colleagues as well. [...]

[...] It becomes, relatively now, opaque to subjective personal conditions, since it has no secure exterior framework against which the inner condition can be judged. [...]

[...] In periods of intense inner activity that were enjoyable and productive, you disapproved of yourselves because you were not at the same time socially oriented, vigorously involved in exercises, or physically oriented pursuits, and so you disapproved of yourselves.

[...] Some of your inner feelings are difficult for me to express, because they are in so many layers that I am not sure of their relative importance. [...]

[...] If you continue as you are, you can indeed expect quite startling improvements—but you are not to compare, either of you, Ruburt’s condition with the Gallaghers’ skiing, anymore than they could compare their attempts at subjective journeying with Ruburt’s inner soaring. [...]

[...] Nevertheless the end result of each gradation brings us to the conclusion that the self, while being individual because of its inner counterpart or inner self, is unlimited. [...]

The one stability between self and what is notself, and the one and only difference, is not an identity that is part and parcel of constantly changing physical framework, not the outer ego whose conception of who it is constantly changes, according to its age and environment, but the inner self behind all physical constructions.

If you then realize that every physical particle contains its own inner and initial consciousness, then you will see that we have come full circle. [...]

[...] Many people phase in and out of that state without being aware of it, and others are able to keep track of their own “inner drifting.” [...]

[...] You may also utilize it as an initial step that will help you get the feeling of your own inner mobility. [...]

[...] You may feel that it has a certain position in your inner vision, or in your head, or you may find that you have your own symbol to represent it. [...]

[...] Gradually you will discover that this inner sense data will become clearer and clearer as you move toward another “station.” [...]

[...] They slowed the car down, laughingly, to twenty-five or so (in this inner dream) and I jumped out, also laughing and unharmed. [...]

[...] Then I thought—or another part of me thought: at last, the inner evidence I’ve wanted so badly, the definite sensations . [...]

Now, all of you in this room know but a small portion of your whole inner self. This inner self of yours, however, knows you well and guides your actions whether or not you intellectually realize its presence. [...]

[...] This involves certain inner muscular coordinations and releases. [...]

[...] The music, the chants, are richly endowed with what you might call for now racial memory, striking psychic as well as biological chords, and thereby releasing certain inner mechanisms and memories.

[...] In this state the attention is focused inward rather than outward, and it is the inner senses more than the outer that are being exercised. The cat is doing the same thing in his way that Jane is, and in the particular situation you are thinking of his inner senses, that is the cat’s, were focused in my direction.

The inner senses are actually the channels through which the entire composition of any particular plane is appreciated and actually maintained. It is through the inner senses that the mental enzymes are enabled to act upon the vitality which is, as I have said, the structure of the universe itself.

The inner senses in other words are the means, the mental enzymes are the tools, and the vitality is the actual material that forms the universe as a whole, the apparent divisions within it, the apparent boundaries of the various divisions, and the diverse materials within each division. Again, the different materials within each division are only camouflages formed by the inner senses upon the material itself.

I have mentioned this before, but your environment is a symbol of your inner life and beliefs; one appears physical to you while the inner life does not. [...]

You must realize that the inner portions of the self are aware of the greater framework in which individuality takes place. [...]

An examination of your conscious thoughts will tell you much about the state of your inner mind, your intentions and expectations, and will often lead you to a direct confrontation with challenges and problems. [...]

[...] The exterior appearance is a replica of inner desire. [...]

The point will be made that all healings are the result of the acceptance of one basic fact: That matter is formed by those inner qualities that give it vitality, that structure follows expectation, that matter at any time can be completely changed by the activation of the creative faculties inherent in all consciousness.

It is the most physically oriented portion of your inner self; but it is not, however, apart from your inner self. [...]

[...] I told you (at the beginning of this chapter) that it was important to realize the ego’s position as the most “exterior” portion of the inner self, not alienated but looking outward to physical reality. [...]
