Conflicting beliefs about the nature of reality can bring about dilemmas in almost any form, for the individual will always try to make sense out of his or her surroundings, and try to at least see the world as a cohesive whole.

[...] In such circumstances an individual might then construct an artificial devil or demon who annoys him constantly, and even orders acts of a highly destructive nature.

2. See the 683rd session in Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality. As Seth told us: “All kinds of time — backward and forward — emerge from the basic unpredictable nature of consciousness, and are due to ‘series’ of significances … Memory operates backward and forward in time.”

[...] They feel their growing, as you listen to your heartbeat … They also experience pain [which] while definite, unpleasant, and sometimes agonizing, is not of an emotional nature in the same way that you might feel pain. [...]

[...] I talk to her sympathetically, give a terrific dissertation on art, its therapeutic qualities, and use as a natural high. [...]

[...] The statements of the Sinful Self show him clearly the reasons why he was afraid of pursuing the unknown, and afraid therefore of using his own natural abilities freely and safely. [...]

(Pause at 11:36 PM.) He (Ruburt) is beginning to stand on his own two feet again, to accept his vision of the world and his own nature.

(Long pause at 4:28.) This involves a reeducation of the most profound nature. [...]

These ideas are translations of the emotional attitudes of all portions of nature and of life itself. [...]

[...] Now that is only natural since we have an old African god amongst us. [...]

[...] You believe that the intuitions and the intellect are natural enemies, and they are not so there need be no battleground between with you in the middle. [...]

It is not to say that you cannot understand the nature of the universe to some extent, but the answers lie in the natures of your own minds, in the processes of individual creativity, in studies that ask questions like: “Where did this thought come from? [...]

Now each individual is also given ways and means of a highly personal nature, characteristics or abilities that automatically begin to lead it out of such old belief systems, when those characteristics are allowed their freedom. [...]

[...] It is only natural that most of it will simply help channel their own self-transformations by appearing garbed in one way or another in standard religious terms, however exotic that garb (with humor). [...]

There are archaeological ages given to man’s physical history, or the history of the earth, or to the coming or going of the physical events of nature. [...]

The characteristics are explosive and seemingly overwhelmingly impulsive, simply because by the nature of a fragment there are few balancing features, usually instead a one-sided explosive offshoot. [...] Now the personality will realize the detrimental nature, and has purged itself, so to speak.

This son is basically a psychological twin of the mother, but developing a more spacious personality, and a more giving nature. [...]

You do not understand the nature of creativity and, therefore, you cannot understand the nature of time. [...]

[...] And as I always do to show not only guests and seeming strangers the nature of vitality but always to impress it as deeply as possible into your knowledge, then let me again remind you that this vitality is your own; that life, physical or nonphysical, is a full vitality that it is not necessarily quiet, that it is not necessarily sedate, and though my voice does not ring with the innocent chatter of children, that that same vitality that fills them fills me and fills each of you.
