There are techniques for using cameras,¹ and a camera left at home will do you little good abroad. So it is the conscious alert mind that must take these pictures if you hope to later make sense of your inner journeys. That conscious reasoning mind must therefore be taken along. There are many ways of doing this, methods not really difficult to follow. Certain techniques will help you pack your conscious mind for your journey as you would pack your camera. It will be there when you need it, to take the pictures that will be your conscious memories of your journey.

Walking down the avenue, you expect the trees to stay in their places, and not transform themselves into buildings. All of these assumptions are taken for granted in your physical journeys. You may find different customs and languages, yet even these will be accepted in the vast, overall, basic assumptions within whose boundaries physical life occurs. You are most certainly traveling through the private and mass psyche when you so much as walk down the street. The physical world seems objective and outside of yourself, however. The idea of such outsideness is one of the assumptions upon which you build that existence. Interior traveling is no more subjective, then, than a journey from New York to San Francisco. You are used to projecting all destinations outside of yourself. Period. The idea of varied inward destinations, involving motion through time and space, therefore appears strange.

Dictation (quietly): To explore the unknown reality you must venture within your own psyche, travel inward through invisible roads as you journey outward on physical ones.

When you travel into such realms you usually do so from the dream state, still carrying your private symbols with you. Even here, these are automatically translated into experience. This is not your own codified system, however. You may journey through such a reality, perceiving it opaquely, layering it over with your own perceived symbols, and taking those for the “real” environment. In these terms the real environment will be that which was generally perceived by the natural inhabitants of the system.

[...] but you will only find yourself when you journey inward. And by journeying inward I do not mean a quick and hasty and apologetic trip to your child memories. [...] I am speaking of a more extensive journey. [...]

[...] but the experience is personal and the experience is subjective and the journey is one that you must make and that you must make alone. [...] I have my own journeys to make... [...]

[...] And the way is to begin the journey, as Ruburt told you, into the nature of your own consciousness for the answers are within you and not out from you... [...]

But again, coming here once a week may help you find yourself—it may point you in the right direction—but you will only find yourself when you journey inward. And by journeying inward I do not mean a quick and hasty and apologetic trip to your child memories. [...] I am speaking of a more extensive journey. [...]

[...] I can point you in the direction—but the experience is personal and the experience is subjective and the journey is one that you must make and that you must make alone. [...] I have my own journeys to make...and detours here. [...]

[...] And the way is to begin the journey, as Ruburt told you, into the nature of your own consciousness for the answers are within you andnot out from you—and no one can tell you the answers. [...]

The symbolic journey of the spirit, and the finding finally of the self always involves the journey of the self through fear, and its emergence. To the extent that this journey is faced, the greater the perils, but the greater the rewards.

[...] He decided to make the journey. [...] You went through your own journey and also emerged some time ago.

[...] The winter of the spirit must be journeyed through, and it must not only be conquered but the benefits used. [...]

[...] I do not travel physically in a UFO (with amusement), and yet my mental or psychic journeys must occur in a medium of some kind. [...] As for example a sea captain might use the rhythm of the waves for his journeys. [...]

Your experience this evening represents a journeying, and I offer you my congratulations. As time passes you will be able to maintain durability, as far as such journeys are concerned. [...]

[...] Journey of your own essence must be achieved first, of course. There are different ways in which such journeying occurs.

[...] The fact that I had taken a journey was very surprising to me; I had not thought of my experience in that way at all.)

[...] The above material now made us wonder whether my vision of the girl and the dog was also a journeying. [...]

You share an existence with others who are experiencing their own journeys in their own ways, and you have journeying in common, then. [...]

I am also journeying. [...]

Before you embark upon other journeys of consciousness, understand that your beliefs will follow you and form your experience there as they do here. [...]

You both have journeys of your own to take — rhythms of your own being that ebb and flow. [...]

(Suddenly, Jane said to Phil, “Tell her about the journey you took, Phil, the journey!” Phil looked confused. [...]

(“You took a journey by boat,” Jane said. [...]

I bid them a safe journey

The first journey from one home station to another, unfamiliar one may bring you in contact with various kinds of bleed-throughs, distortions, or static. [...] You are journeying through your own psyche, in other words, for different realities are different states of the psyche — materialized, projected outward and experienced. [...]

HOW TO JOURNEY INTO THE “UNKNOWN” REALITY: TINY STEPS AND GIANT STEPS.

[...]

[...] Instead, they are telling him something — that his home program is impoverished, for he has been denying the reality of his being.³ If he ignores the advice of his psyche, then his journeys into the unknown reality will be highly distorted. [...]

[...] Such journeys “take no time” in your terms. [...]

[...] Weathermen speak of local conditions and merging air currents — but my journeys are in a realm where consciousnesses merge. [...]

[...] (Humorously:) I am not comparing you with motes of dust by any means; to some extent, however, you do share in my journeys. [...]

And despite all comments to the contrary, this is by far the most difficult discipline; but without it the inner self is not secure in its journeys, and is like a boat with no harbor to receive it, and like the man without a country, with no place to return. The personality, to some (underline some) degree has been led astray by those who begin such a journey without first making certain of their return.

Legitimate, balanced psychic journeyings will result in a beneficial effect as far as the ego and its ability to handle its concerns are involved; and whenever such journeyings or investigations result in a lessening of egotistic control over circumstance then anyone so involved should instantly ask himself questions, and abruptly halt.

Now: Think of your ancestors, yourself, and your children as members of one tribe, each journeying into different countries instead of times. Culture is as real and natural as trees and rocks, so see the various cultures of these three groups as natural environments of the different places or countries; and imagine, then, each group exploring the unique environment of the land into which they have journeyed. [...]

[...] That material makes an excellent ending for Volume 2. For Jane and me, our house-hunting adventures were an intensely interesting journey through a complicated skein of probabilities. [...]

Throughout the ages people have taken such journeys. [...] The people who have journeyed into the unknown reality have always been adventurous. Yet many had already seen the snapshots sent to your world by others, and so they began to clothe their own original visions of their journeys in the guise of those other pictures. [...]

[...] It can also then return, bringing the physically oriented self “snapshots” of its journeys. [...]

[...] When you journey into other realities, or when your consciousness leaves your body, you can also rely upon guidebooks that program your activities ahead of time. [...]

[...] While you expect pictures of your own reality to be diverse, those who journeyed into the unknown reality became concerned if their snapshots did not agree, so they tried desperately to make all of the pictures look alike. [...]

Something to do with fish and another journey.

[...] Rick’s publication of The Early Sessions, then, is a very important advance in the marvelous journey of discovery that, I think, each one of us is inevitably involved in, that each one of us has chosen to create, in whatever way and for whatever purposes.

[...] The Seth material is a long way from being on computer—if that ever happens—and relatively few readers will make the journey to Yale University Library, to study the collection of Jane’s and my papers that’s available there for anyone to see.

[...] You are on a journey. The journey creates its own destination. [...]

[...] Settle your accounts with it now, and take it along on your journeys. [...]

[...] You do not physically recall those journeys that you have yourselves made and are now making. [...]

[...] You are on a journey into awareness. [...]

[...] There were men before you who journeyed to the moon, and who brought back data quite as “scientific” and pertinent. [...] Some of these civilizations did not need spaceships.⁴ Instead, highly trained men combining the abilities of dream-art scientists and mental physicists cooperated in journeys not only through time but through space. There are ancient maps drawn from a 200-mile-or-more vantage point — these meticulously completed on return from such journeys.

[...] Space travel will be dumped when your scientists discover that space as you know it is a distortion, and that journeying from one so-called galaxy to another is done through divesting the physical body of camouflage [matter]. [...]
