[...] (Pause.) In that reality, however, psychological activity is not limited by any of the physical laws that you know. [...] These follow their own, say, laws of physics. [...]

[...] It is responsible for all physical effects, and is behind all physical “laws.”

[...] Light has more manifestations than its physical version (intently), so that even when it may not be physically manifested there is light everywhere, and that light is the source of your physical version and its physical laws. [...]

The colors of which you are aware represent a very small portion of light’s entire spectrum, just physically speaking, but the spectrum you recognize represents only one inconceivably small portion of other fuller spectrums—spectrums that exist outside of physical laws.

[...] Since they are the intuitive force just beyond the range of matter, upon which matter is formed, they will not follow the laws of matter, although at times they may mimic the laws of matter.

[...] But the rhythms have to do with the nature of emotional energy itself, and not with the laws of matter.

[...] Instead, you see, yesterday on two occasions he picked up the fact of his father-in-law’s illness, the phlegm in the father-in-law’s lungs and eschewing heart difficulties. [...]

[...] He is, however, strongly attuned as far as the father-in-law is concerned and has been for the past week, picking up information. [...]

([Gert:] “Can we help the father-in-law?”)

[...] I want it known, however, that thoughts and emotions are formed into physical matter by very definite methods and through laws quite valid, though they may be presently unknown.

[...] You cannot understand the psychic reality that is the true impetus for your physical existence unless you first realize your own psychic reality, and independence from physical laws.

[...] It may seem that the retribution of law holds societies together and keeps, for example, criminal elements down, so that you have operating processes that insure more or less stable living conditions. The laws, however, are necessarily based upon man’s faith that those laws will indeed be largely followed. Otherwise the laws would be useless. [...]

Dream of last night**** I dreamed that my entire head was being completely cleared, despite all laws or rules to the contrary... [...]

[...] Since they are the intuitive force just beyond the reach of matter, upon which matter is formed, they will not follow the laws of matter, although at times they will mimic the laws of matter. [...]

[...] But the rhythms have to do with the nature of emotional energy itself, and not with the laws of physical matter.

[...] Their expansion is not limited by any of your known, or misinterpreted, laws of space or time or thermodynamics, since they exist in a dimension where such laws simply do not apply.

[...] There are basic laws that can be applied, as far as the expansion rate of idea is concerned. Present scientific methods will not discover such laws, however.

[...] Theoretically the laws governing the psychological energy structures could be worked out mathematically, but until it is realized that energy is basically mental and psychological in nature and origin, little can be done.

—rather than upon any sense of justice, so that in a very basic sense man is considered a natural criminal in the eyes of the law, and more and more laws are then seemingly required, in order to protect man “from himself.” [...]

[...] Laws then become based upon fear—

Any time, any one time, that you can behave in a manner that suggests that one of your cherished limited laws of the universe does not exist, then you can be certain that the so-called law does not exist, at least not in any basic manner.

[...] And the quantitative distance on your own particular horizontal plane actually amounts to a qualitative difference, in that the theories of universal laws as presently conceived simply will not hold.

Your apparent laws of the universe have been broken in isolated instances often enough so that this point should certainly be clear, and yet your scientists constantly ignore such problems.

Because mental enzymes seem to give the same effects most of the time in your physical universe, your scientists for years blithely labeled these as the laws of nature, that is, the apparent laws of cause and effect. Now because, if you’ll excuse the pun, a certain cause will usually give a certain effect in your physical universe, you may be justified in saying that these apparent results are laws that operate within your physical universe. [...]

[...] Taking off at right angles involves another one of your natural laws which are not natural laws, but seem to be because this is how things look from where you are. [...]

[...] They then accept this particular camouflage as a definite rule of nature, never realizing that just beyond their eyesight and just beyond all their outer senses, this familiar tamed animal of a law changes appearance completely.

[...] To conform to the laws of a particular plane is a practical necessity, and at this time the flying saucer craft simply cannot afford to stay betwixt and between for any indefinite period.

In the time those fears originated, he shared the belief framework of Christianity, so that he believed that outside of that framework there could indeed be nothing but chaos, or the conventional atheism of science, in which the universe was at the mercy of meaningless mechanistic laws—laws, however, that operated without logic, but more importantly laws that operated without feeling. [...]

Energy projected into any kind of construction, psychic or physical, cannot be recalled, but must follow the laws of the particular form into which it has been for the moment molded. [...]

[...] However I wanted you to understand that the elements of the dream world, originating in energy, also continue in existence when the dreamer may have forgotten them; and that all energy or any energy, given or adopting any type of form, must then continue at least momentarily to adapt to the laws inherent therein.

[...] Once manifested, the individuality of energy then comes under the law of value fulfillment.

Energy can be transformed from one state to another, but once it achieves a personalized gestalt the individuality which it has formed must follow certain laws of value fulfillment, and this involves distinctions which we have not yet covered in our sessions.

Philip should read the sessions dealing particularly with the laws of the universe, that is with the inner laws of the universe, appreciating then the facts that this universe within all universes is spontaneous while having durability. [...]

[...] This is the driving force, the one main law from which value fulfillment then flows.

[...] This law, the necessity for experience, operates only after complete materialization and orientation within your plane.

The laws of the universe, of the inner universe, for example, are not laws in some book. (Smile.) Such laws that might be proclaimed in so many words. [...]

Each simple law of the inner universe that I have given you is in actuality a small and inadequate statement in single-dimensional terms. [...]

[...] “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?”)

(I asked the question because I thought Seth’s answer to number forty-six, in the last session, touched upon one of those propositions: “The Law of Infinite Changeability and Transmutation.” [...]

Cooperation is always a vibrant and necessary law, and you may add cooperation to our list of laws governing the inner universe.

[...] I mentioned the capacity for infinite mobility and transmutation as being one of the laws of the inner universe. The reflection of this law is seen in the latent ability for almost infinite varieties of structures, and endless combinations that can be achieved by the atoms and molecules, and smaller particles of your universe.

You remember that value fulfillment is also one of our laws of the inner universe, and in this particular instance, the atoms and molecules have the opportunity for value fulfillment along many lines, according to the form that their cooperation and combination may take.

[...] There is an ever-so-minute alteration of gravity forces in the neighborhood of all of these points, even of the subordinate ones, and all the so-called physical laws to some extent or another will be found to have a wavering effect in these neighborhoods. [...]

[...] They very seldom exist in isolation, but unite under certain laws. [...]

Now the church finally placed all of the condemnation of its religious laws against certain psychological and mystical experiences — not because it did not consider them realities, of course, but precisely because it recognized too well the disruptive influence that, say, revelationary experience could have upon a world order that was based upon a uniform dogma.

[...] We’ll change your laws with it. [...]

In drawing up his list of so-called natural laws, I have said that man decided that what appeared to be cause and effect to him was therefore a natural law of the universe. Not only do these so-called laws, which are not laws, vary according to where you are in the universe, they also vary according to what you are in the universe. [...] To a tree the laws are simply different. And if a tree wrote its laws of the universe, then you would know how different they are.
