[...] This inner ego can also operate within the dream state, and in certain awake-seeming dreams it is the portion that realizes that the personality is not in its normal waking condition. [...] The inner ego is the part of the personality that contains the highest aspirations and capabilities. [...]

When in such dreams your perceptions seem exceedingly clear, you can be certain that the inner ego is operating. Now all portions of the personality, of the present personality, belong to this inner ego. [...]

[...] It is the inner ego from whom you receive your inspiration, and it is the inner ego which gives consent to our meetings.

I told you from the beginning that the inner ego is aware of data that is received through the inner senses as well as data from the outer senses.

[...] There are periods of inner biological work, then signs of definite improvements. More inner work, and so forth, and another improvement shows. Enough inner work has progressed however so that very shortly the observable improvements will accelerate.

He cannot fake it, so he improves in direct proportion to his growing trust of the inner self.

[...] An inner rebuilding process has occurred at all levels, necessary preliminaries for agility and balanced motion.

Twins use communication of the inner senses all unknowing, and what Loriza read of the material moved her subconscious to intuitive realization. [...] Twins are more used to using inner communication, and instances come more easily to mind.

If this sounds difficult then indeed it is, because I will not deal in platitudes, and the exercise of the inner abilities demand, as a bulwark, the sometimes difficult achievement of an ego that can adapt itself in the outer environment, and so hold its own while the inner self is then freed to go its way.

Discipline then should not only be considered, as it is by some schools of thought, as a mere mental discipline over the muscles, or various portions of the body by the inner self, but indeed a discipline in terms of training of the ego by the inner self, so that the ego as a personality achieves a well-balanced relationship with the physical universe.

[...] The rapport existing as a rule between twins, and that does indeed exist, between Loriza, L-o-r-i-z-a and her twin (sister), goes far to account for Loriza’s latent intuitive, but partial, inner comprehension of the elements that work within, say, telepathy.

It was left to man to translate his inner information with a free hand. [...] He puts his sciences and religions, his languages, together in multitudinous ways, but there must always be a translation of inner information outward to the world of sense. [...]

[...] What you had — what you still have, though you are not nearly as aware of it — was an excellent give-and-take between the inner and outer senses. Through chanting, dancing, playacting, painting, story-telling, man spontaneously translated inner sense data into physical actualization. [...]

[...] You may “speak” through art or music, through trance activities, but you will specialize in the use of the inner senses, and in translating the inner knowledge of the species, bringing it to whatever level of ordinary consciousness that is considered the official one.

[...] Beside translating inner images into paintings, for example, you may unknowingly be translating sensually invisible sounds into images. [...] You have no words for the kinds of images I am speaking of, for they are not objects, nor pictures of objects, nor images of images, but instead the inner dimensions, each separate and glowing, but connected, prisms of knowledge, that have within themselves more reality than you can presently begin to imagine.

Through these maneuvers the inner self does teach the ego the proper use of these inner potentials. The inner self literally carries the ego, and provides life sustenance. [...]

[...] You see the color and the brush strokes but you do not see the inner workings that led you to produce those particular brush strokes. You know they are there, the inner meanings, but you do not see them in physical terms. [...]

[...] The inner self therefore does not overstep the boundaries of the ego, go against the ego’s wishes, or try to force (underline) the ego. It is up to the ego to learn how to use these vast potentials that lie within the inner self, how to use them to help itself and others.

If the inner self took over completely therefore the present personality would not learn on its own. The inner self does offer advice, intuitional help, inspiration, all of these things, but it does not force the ego to accept them.

He is becoming more aware of inner events, so as he dozed he felt inner manipulations that were physical but not physical. [...]

The “inner” matter then was being released, remolded into better form. There is a connection of course between such inner manipulation and the actual physical body—so Ruburt felt physical sensation that was, however, not a part of what he thinks of as the body. [...]

A few moments earlier he vaguely caught an image, as his mind, picking up inner information, translated it: he was being led to a physician’s office in the image. [...]

His dream work, again, is highly important and significant —not only for itself, but also because it represents his reliance upon the inner world of his being. [...]

“Without this sixth sense and its constant use by the inner self, you could not construct the physical camouflage universe. [...] The inner self has at its command complete knowledge, but only portions are used by an organism. [...] The spider has no intellect or ego, and its activities are pure spontaneous uses of the Inner Senses, unhampered and uncamouflaged to a great extent. [...]

[...] They reveal themselves to us when we turn our attention away from physical data and look inward; this is when the sixth Inner Sense comes into play. [...]

I have explained to you how the inner self is connected to the present personality, and how the emotions at your end change through the layers of the subconscious, begin in your plane as parts of the personality, and as part of your force field, and then are transformed and become the inner-sense connective that connects the outer ego to the inner self.

[...] Now in these tests you will reach the inner self. [...] The emotions are the outer extensions of the inner senses, and it is therefore through the intuitions and traveling, the traveling of the pathways of the emotions, that you will come in contact with the inner self, and therefore be able to carry back this information in the same manner.

[...] He is given to fervent allegiances, and often should listen to the dictates of inner discipline. [...]

The personality has endeavored to right old wrongs, and has succeeded to a great degree, but at the risk of sacrificing inner spontaneity, and even at the risk of losing the very authoritative aspects of his nature, so that there is still a tendency to follow rather than to lead; simply because in the period of the Inquisition he was in a place of authority, he led; and he led men into atrocities committed in the fine name of principle and religion. [...]

[...] If you paint a picture, its overall quality comes from the inner atmosphere of your being.

[...] If anything in that physical image or world needs changing, the change must first be made in the atmosphere of the inner self.

For this projection of inner into outer is automatic. [...]

[...] The inner will always be projected outward within your system. [...]

[...] They become, with full inner knowledge, vessels, or rather channels through which the poison can be to some extent ejected. [...] Only then, in your system does this inner necessary realization come, because of the exterior circumstances.

[...] The country did not face its own inner reality. [...] Those who stood in the positions of King (Martin Luther) and of both Kennedys bring the inner psychic problems to a head. [...]

A strong coming-into or focusing of inner reality into the objective form of the painting. You are allowing now the inner form to come out fully, and, to bring its own reality and environment with it. [...]

[...] Certain individuals are peculiarly suited for this function, because of their own inner background, the aggregate result of strong challenges they have set for themselves.

I have told you that exterior reality is a materialization of inner electromagnetic reality. [...] The inner senses pick up this data directly, you see, as in last Friday’s episode. [...]

[...] With the inner perceptions there will be a traveling through of intensities. The experience is perceived simultaneously by the inner senses, but it will be translated in terms of physical time.

[...] Inner perceptions are never basically physical, you see. [...] (Long pause.) In other words, if you will forgive a pun, you can never be consciously aware of the basic inner perception, but you can follow backward to that point. [...]

[...] A word concerning the nature of inner perceptions.

Now: Again, master events are those that most significantly affect your system of reality, even though the original action was not physical but took place in the inner dimension. Most events appear both in time and out of it, their action distributed between an inner and outer field of expression. [...] The inner processes escape you.

Those inner processes, however, also give many clues as to some native abilities that you have used “in the past” as a species. Those inner processes do sometimes emerge, then. [...]

What you have is a kind of inner backbone of perception—a backup program, so to speak, an inner perceptive mechanism with its own precise psychological tuner that in one way or another operates within the field of your intent. [...]

[...] Now the visit and Ruburt’s earlier feelings and thoughts were part of the same event, except that his subjective experience gave him clues as to the inner processes by which all events take place. [...]

The problems exist in the inner realms—you can solve them there. [...] But they will actually be solved in inner reality. [...] Find out what the nature of inner reality is. You can then use inner reality as a secure basis from which you can look outward and see the world’s problems more clearly and in better focus. [...]

[...] The inner strengths that are available to you, you are not using. [...] This evening in class, you were not able to use your inner abilities. [...]

And our dear Lady of Florence: you have not yet put one tippy-toe in the clear waters of the inner self. [...] These inner realities represent your freedoms and your triumphs and your strengths—they represent the wonders that are within you—they cannot be given to you by another. [...]

[...] Your intellect is not afraid of the inner self. [...] Pretend then that the inner self is another land—and that you are a tourist—and highly curious—that you are intellectually and intuitively curious—pretend that all this courage you use in your daily endeavors is an aid to help you find your way in this new and strange and wondrous environment. [...]

[...] We have instead a flexible bark, changing with the elements, protecting the inner tree or the inner self, but flexible, opening up or closing in rhythmic motion. The bark is so to speak outside our tree; and there is a small space between the inner tree and the bark. [...]

The inner tree continues to grow because the bark is flexible. [...] Nevertheless the inner self, like the inner tree, must have room to expand. [...]

However in some other manners the experiences of the tree are extremely deep, dealing with the inner senses which are, and properly, also properties of treedom. [...] The inner senses of the tree have strong affinity with the properties of earth itself. [...]

In some fragments such as much plant life and vegetative life there is strong use of certain inner senses. [...] The ideal of course is a consciousness that is adept at using both the inner and outer senses fully.

[...] The inner self constantly changes its focus. I have said that consciousness is merely the direction in which the inner self focuses at any particular time. In order to examine the reality of dreams it is necessary to change the focus of the inner self to those directions in which the inner self moves, when the ego does not limit its scope to camouflage reality only.

They must be interpreted instead through the use of those inner senses of which I have spoken, for these are the basic tools of the inner self. I realize that it is frowned upon to speak in terms of a limited intellect, which cannot understand a whole reality because of a built-in deficiency; nevertheless while it is true that the intellect by itself cannot grasp or comprehend inner reality, this should not be thought of as a deficiency inherent in intellect.

They were adapted to meet a specific situation in which the inner self found it must operate, and it therefore took unto itself the adoption of these specific constructions. Therefore since dreams are manifestations of inner reality, they cannot be interpreted or investigated with any success through the use of the outer senses.

A study or investigation of inner reality was not the purpose of the intellect. The intellect, again, was also and is a means by which the inner self relates itself to the camouflage physical universe which it has itself constructed.

Through the inner senses then, you may perceive the inner laws, and remember that the inner ego knows what it is about. The intellect of the outer ego is but a pale image of your own inner ego. [...]

The consciousness always comes first, representing individualized, extremely potent bits of energy that compose the basic or inner universe. [...] The creation that causes the whole to be more than the sum of its parts is merely the inner identities, the bulk of this consciousness not able to fully materialize upon the physical plane. [...]

I have also mentioned that as your outer senses can perceive the camouflage universe, and as they act within its laws, so also the inner senses are equipped to perceive the inner basic universe, and they directly are familiar with its laws.

[...] It actually represents an amazing ability to focus the complete inner energy. In other words, to command and focus the entire amount of energy inherent within the personality from the inner universe, and as such it must be used with discretion and discipline. [...]

[...] It arises from within the inner vitality of which all camouflage is composed. To some degree it is a result of inner vitality’s attempt to completely express itself in materializations, and its inability to do so.

[...] Action is the breath of inner vitality, of which all materializations of any kind are composed. It represents, again, the relationship between unexpressed inner vitality and materialized vitality.

[...] Here you have also the inner vitality that has not been materialized within the realm of material camouflage. You have the tendency of this inner vitality to materialize, and its inability to completely do so. [...]

[...] In our earlier discussions concerning the nature of matter, we made it plain that each individual created any given material object, through use of the inner senses, and following certain rules which were mentioned.

Your materials must always serve your inner vision or you will be dissatisfied with them. You must be bold in following the inner vision, free enough to follow it. [...]

[...] Remember he is to trust the inner self. [...]

[...] This gives the inner self freedom. [...]

The inner gains have been made. [...]

[...] They are translations and symbols for inner activity. As a rule they are highly physically oriented, their function being to acquaint the physically adapted ego with some inner data.

[...] Information is now carried in reverse fashion back to the inner self, in an instantaneous and automatic procedure. Thus thought becomes an inner image which is translated into a thermal image, and then into intuitional form, into highly condensed and codified data, and then into a pure and direct sort of experience which you cannot understand as physical creatures.

[...] The data thus far has been seen as traveling from the inner self outward, as being translated from pure knowledge into thermal pictures, inner images and thoughts. [...]

[...] They are more emotionally charged, more concise than thoughts, and they are directly connected with the mechanics involved in translating inner data to physical reality.

Remember, according to Seth these Inner Senses are used by the whole self constantly. [...] Any precognitive experience would entail use of this Inner Sense. [...]

“If you will remember our imaginary man as he stands upon a street, you will recall that I spoke of his feeling all of the unitary essences of each living thing within his range, using the first Inner Sense. [...]
