[...] They form according to the significances that they choose, so that in one way or another events become latent in some worlds, while in others they form events of a prime nature. [...]

([Theodore:] “About problems, I’m wondering whether to make a distinction between a problem which is a personal thing in nature that we must solve on our own, and a problem that is not so personally oriented but community oriented where the decision you have affects someone else and can be a wrong solution. [...]

What the material tells you about the nature of your own reality is the closest you can come now to an approximation of the truth. [...]

If life has such great potentials, as Seth maintains, if it began—and begins (and continues to begin) at such rich creative and productive levels—then why did our experience so often make it seem that we struggled against unknowing or uncaring cosmic forces, or that we were at the most so ignorant of our own source and creativity that our hands were tied, or that we were forever shut off from our natural heritage?

[...] The return to the natural moment can be used quite effectively, but not if you constantly reinforce your lacks of confidence.

[...] When people form even dreams about other lives, they often draw upon the picture books of history, and there is no such heritage of a cultural nature with which they can flesh out any dreams of future lives.

Certain strains were involved that in one way were as natural as growing pains. This has nothing to do with so-called psychic phenomena, but the natural growth and development of a personality whenever it tries to go beyond its space and time context, and takes on challenges of such a nature.

[...] Such activity automatically alters the nature of time in your experience, and is indicative of intersections of your consciousness with another kind of consciousness. [...]

[...] His material is also an extension of much that he gave in the 679th session for Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality, when he discussed the early background of the probable Jane who chose to live in this physical reality, and how that Jane began to contend with her strongly mystical nature. [...]

2. Just as he talks here about the surface nature of our travel, in Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality Seth had a similar observation to make about our ideas of time; see the 688th session after 10:26: “Again, you live on the surface of the moments, with no understanding of the unrecognized and unofficial realities that lie beneath.”

[...] I did realize yesterday that the body’s natural “God given”! [...]

[...] These in turn trigger other cellular changes, again of a beneficial nature.

[...] He just wanted to watch television and forget it all, and hidden in that crankiness is a good point: The sessions are an expression of your private and joint curiosity, a high and excellent curiosity about the nature of reality, a result of your desire to know; to know whether or not the knowledge can be held in your hands like a fruit, whether or not the knowledge can be dosed out to an ailing world as medicine.

And: “The magical approach takes it for granted that the human being is a united creature, fulfilling purposes in nature even as the animals do, whether or not those purposes are understood.

[...] [We’d also had an unannounced visitor—a Korean woman lawyer—from Los Angeles the other day.] Naturally we’re turning away all visitors because of the time element. [...]

(7:58.) The discomforts of a physical nature led to instant responses. [...]

[...] It acts as a natural stimulus.
