“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now before you see anything physically, you do so through these inner pathways. The interior perception activates the outside one. When you experience physical motion or activity, events or phenomena, you are becoming aware of the tail end of a long “series” of interior comprehensions. I am saying that all exterior events, including your own bodies with their insides, all objects, all physical materializations, are the outside structures of inside ones that are composed of interior sound and invisible light, interwoven in electromagnetic patterns.

Ideas represent your psychic intent. They generate emotion and imagination. These activate the interior patterns. They are the motive force of action (pause), the means by which all interior events are exteriorized. They are energy formed and directed, formulations of interior and exterior patterns of reality. They are a part of the creative force from which all realities spring. Again, we run into difficulties in explanation simply because there are few verbal equivalents for what I am trying to say.

(Pause.) On the interior level of which I have been speaking, all happenings and objects are connected. A movement or change in one affects others. You will physically respond to and recognize some of this alteration, as in the example of the near accident. But whether or not you are consciously aware of such activity, it changes the interior environment of your body through these inner pathways.

Dictation: The body reacts not so much to physical sound as to the interior sounds into which the physical sounds are translated. As mentioned (in the last two sessions), it also reacts to sounds that have no physical “counterparts.”

[...] I think there is a “mass” dream experience, however, as there is a collectively perceived physical life and definite interior conditions within which dream life happens. Only inner experimentation will let us discover this interior landscape. [...]

I do not believe that there are any more dangers facing us in the interior universe than there are in the physical one. [...] The interior universe is the source of the exterior one, however, and traveling through it we will encounter our own hopes, fears and beliefs in their ever-changing form.

[...] The interior reality is clothed in dream images as, when we are awake, it is clothed in physical ones. [...]

I wanted to show the direction in which we were moving since our first experiences with interior events of this nature, and also generally provide guidelines for others who may wish to do their own investigations. [...]

(10:00.) Now these people are chosen by others to manifest outwardly the interior truths that all intuitively know. [...] This energy, however, is a quite valid projection from the interior self. [...]

[...] The birth of great religious events emerges from the interior religious drama. [...]

[...] He will emerge as an eternal hero in the external religious drama, as the inner self is the eternal hero of the interior religious drama.

The exterior dimensions are replicas of interior personal ones. [...] In the same way, interior events can appear in physical reality in a quite different form than the original.

The use of drugs even offers a pseudo-scientific explanation for interior events. Ruburt deals with the interior world the way most people deal with the exterior one. [...] In Ruburt’s other books his critical prose frames interior events, but in Dialogues there is no such frame. [...]

[...] It is a book telling of interior events. [...] The interior events are not “structured” by the use of drugs. [...]

[...] [See session 472 in Volume 9 of The Early Sessions.] Material on Jane’s symptoms, interior and exterior illness, inner-self constructions and challenges, recognizing problems, etc. [...]

[...] Any exterior move that you make is made within the interior environment, within all the interior environments with which you are involved.

Symbols that behave in this way can be clues to you that you are now at another stage of consciousness, and within an entirely different interior environment. [...]

[...] Therefore your past, present and future exist within it, but only as portions of that interior environment. [...]

As a personality is molded by his exterior circumstances, so is he also molded by the dreams that he creates, and which help to form his interior or psychic environment. To the whole self there is little differentiation made between actions that are of an exterior nature, and actions that are of an interior nature. [...]

The individual therefore reacts to his interior environment or psychic environment in the same way that he reacts to his physical situation. And as he changes his physical situation through reacting to it, so he changes his interior or psychic situation as he reacts to it.

[...]

[...] (Long pause.) Then: “The Interior Medium in Which Society Exists.”

[...] In Framework 2 the interior power of nature is ever-changing. [...]

Before Seth began a discussion of dreams, and as a preliminary, he explained the natural mobility of human consciousness and outlined the main features of the “interior universe” that could be glimpsed in both waking and dream states and which underlie physical reality. This introduction offers a natural pathway into the area of dreams (part of the interior universe) and to the other states of consciousness possible within the dream framework. [...]

I’m including in this chapter a few poems as notes of a subjective autobiography, to show what events triggered this first release of unconscious material on my part, opening the doors to the interior universe; for now I believe that certain personal conditions are characteristic prerequisites for such developments, that the channels of intuitive knowledge are opened according to the intensity of individual need. [...]

[...] (In a recent issue of Time magazine.) Such unfoldings always occur from within, responding to signals not from the exterior but from the interior environment.

The interior self causes the physical challenges that then seem to spurt further bodily activity. [...]

In other cases where the symptom is interior itself, as in ulcers, this is a sign that the inner self has not yet come to such a point. [...]

As Ruburt said after reading the body of the book, the interior drama is the “real” one. [...] In such cases the interior events will always predominate, regardless of the physical facts, which are only symbols for those events.

[...] There is instant feedback between the interior and exterior conditions, but the mobility, the necessity and the method of changing the physical environment will always come from within.

The interior drama, therefore, is always the important one. [...]

[...] For now it is sufficient to realize that specific steps, definite alterations, occur as consciousness is shifted from the exterior to the interior reality, and that these changes are not random; that consciousness leaves through a very predictable route to its many destinations. [...]

[...] A good Speaker is as effective within one reality as he is within the other, creating psychic frameworks within physical reality as well as within interior environments. [...]

The exterior religious dramas are of course imperfect representations of the ever-unfolding interior spiritual realities. [...]

In those times men spoke and confided to the spirits of birds, trees, and spiders, knowing that in the interior reality beneath, the nature of these communications was known and understood. [...]

[...] The need, the psychological and spiritual need of the species, demanded both interior and exterior alterations of great import. [...]

An interior. [...]

[...] In parenthesis now for Ruburt’s impression: (the interior of a trailer, and the country.)

[...] Jane said she thought the last word of the data referred to the Birch house being located in the country outside Elmira, and not to be “the interior of a trailer.”

A good relationship between you frees repressed emotion on both of your parts, which then pours over into your work and illuminates all of your interior and exterior landscapes both symbolically and literally.

[...] The body, as explained in this chapter, also has “invisible” counterparts composed of the electromagnetic properties and the interior sound and light qualities.

[...] The interior workings of the body, to be conscious, would have to deal with time sequences that would present the physically attuned consciousness with “mathematical” deductions and calculations far too numerous for it to handle. [...]

[...] There is as much motion, stimulation, and reaction in the interior bodily environment as the body meets through its encounters with the exterior environment. [...]

[...] In the interior physical environment there is far greater traffic flow. [...]

There are inner meeting places, then, interior “places” that serve as points of inner commerce and communication. [...]

(10:35.) Give us a moment … The true scientist understands that he must probe the interior and not the exterior universe; he will comprehend that he cannot isolate himself from a reality of which he is necessarily a part, and that to do so presents at best a distorted picture. [...]

Before the beginning there existed an interior universe that had no beginning or ending, for I am using the term “before the beginning” to make matters easier for you to assimilate. In parentheses: (That same infinite interior universe exists now, for example.)

The experience, the subjective universe, the “mind” of All That Is, was so brilliant, so distinct, that All That Is almost became lost, mentally wandering within this ever-flourishing, ever-growing interior landscape. [...]
