[...] It is a natural recovery, a natural development in response to Ruburt’s intense desire now to be responsive.

NATURAL GRACE, THE FRAMEWORKS OF CREATIVITY, AND THE HEALTH OF YOUR BODY AND MIND.

[...]

Chapter Nine: “Natural Grace, the Frameworks of Creativity, and the Health of Your Body and Mind. [...]

Action, having of itself, and because of its nature, formed identity, now also because of its nature would seem to destroy identity, since action must involve change. [...]

Inner vitality attempts therefore to materialize itself completely, and yet because of its very nature, with each materialization it increases itself, making the attempt impossible. [...] This of course leads us to the necessity for further discussion concerning the nature of inner vitality itself.

[...] These are natural unfoldings, and such developments will occur according to their own nature, and in their own time. [...]

[...] Action must, therefore, of its very nature, of itself and from its own workings, create identities. [...]

[...] In the dream universe, in all systems of such nature, development is achieved not by traveling your single line, but by delving into that point that you call a moment. [...] Basically your own physical universe is at the apex of such a system itself, and it is only because of the purpose and nature of the particular apex that experience appears, from my viewpoint, to be so slowed down. [...] You experience action as one happening after another, not because of the nature of action itself but because of the nature of your own structure and perception.

Now, regarding again the nature of action, I would like to discuss action in relation to the dream reality, for you are intimately familiar with action in dreams, and your practical experience will enable you to understand the true nature of action more clearly.

[...] This is not to say that structure does not exist within the dream universe, for structures of a mental or psychic nature do exist. [...]

[...] Within your own universe you deal with the transformation of action into physical manipulations, but this involves but a small portion of the nature of action, and it is my purpose to familiarize you with action as it exists more or less in its pure form.

[...] The word, onomatopoeia (there is a chance the first letter should be A instead of O) comes closest to explaining the inner nature of such sounds.

I will be here to see that this is put to practical use also, translated into terms that can be understood, and provide a firm basis from which you can further explore the nature of such ancient perceptions. [...]

You also understand the nature of “truth” (in quotes) better than you did, and are beginning to allow it its mobility and ever-changing grace in your paintings and in our work.

[...] This is a physical statement of the inner change, and the inner change must be reflected physically of course: the intention to work with, not against the body, and to help encourage its natural spontaneity and functions.

[...] To the extent that you do not know yourself, you do not know what nature is. [...] Become aware of the original nature of any given moment as it exists for you.

[...] They intertwine, not only through the psychic organization that I have given to “Unknown” Reality, but because of the great uniting nature within the consciousness of each reader.

[...] Refuse to accept ideas that limit the dimensions of your own natural being. [...]

[...] It’s a perfectly natural reaction,” I said. [...]

[...] Man was acquainted with death, and many children were stillborn, or were naturally aborted. This also, however, was in the natural order of things, and was done far more easily then than now. [...] Nature aborts it. [...]

[...] A human child, true; but an offspring in which the entire history of the earth is involved — a new creation arising not just from two parents, but from the entire gestalt of nature, from which the parents themselves once emerged; a private yet public affair in which the physical elements of earth become individualized; in which psyche and earth cooperate in a birth that is human, and in other terms, divine.

[...] This does not mean that the consciousness of a child was annihilated, for example, if it was naturally aborted. [...]

While there was no mating period, still there was a close biological relationship between the species and the earth, so that women naturally conceived when situations of climate, food supplies, and other elements were beneficial.

“The idea is that the scientists’ system of beliefs is bound to result in some destructive action; that is, the implied attitudes of today’s scientists lead them to be less careful of life than they should be, and separate them from nature in a way that leads to some contempt on their parts of individual living things. The leaders of religious cults, like that of Jonestown, overexaggerate grandiose ideals of brotherhood and love, for example (as Seth has mentioned), while often forbidding the natural expression of love on the part of one individual for another — assaulting family affiliations and so forth. [...]

“In the same way the scientific community speaks of grandiose ideals, of man’s triumph over the planet and nature. [...] The sacrifice of, say, thousands of lives in a nuclear accident almost becomes justified in their minds if it is a means toward the grandiose goal of learning how to ‘triumph over nature.’ Again, this intent automatically turns them into mechanics.

[...] These seem to suggest that he possesses an elegant, cool separation from nature, that the animals for example do not. [...]

“Man is therefore set against his nature in his own mind, and he thinks he must control it. [...]

[...] He has been exercising as he naturally felt the inclination, and he will feel it—the inclination—more. [...]

[...] He will, as he walks around the house, begin to feel the natural inclination to walk further. [...]

[...] You will find moving a natural process, a joyful extension and an important symbol in both of your lives. [...]

The medical profession unwittingly promotes the idea of illness above health, and in its devotion to uncovering disease it often completely forgets the entire concept of the body’s natural defenses and vitality. All of these ideas unfortunately become a part of people’s daily lives, undermining their assurance, pride, and almost obscuring the body’s natural state of exuberance and strength. [...]

Exuberance and high spirits are natural characteristics of all living creatures. [...]

The cells, the tissues, and the organs “expect” to grow, following their own natures. [...]

—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.” [...]

NATURAL HYPNOSIS, HEALING, AND THE TRANSFERENCE OF PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS INTO OTHER LEVELS OF ACTIVITY

“Natural Hypnosis, Healing, and the Transference of Physical Symptoms into Other Levels of Activity.” [...]

(And: “Faith and belief can move mountains, as they say — but it can also cause natural catastrophes.”

(“Last night I also felt that Seth’s Appendix — if there is one — could deal with notes on particular chapters; methods of using natural hypnosis in certain cases; work on beliefs, etc.”)

[...] 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. [...]

[...] Now in your physical world it is obvious that nature grows more of itself. [...]

(A pause lasting almost two minutes, starting at 11:12.) Give us a moment … There are alternate realities, and these exist only because of the nature of probabilities. [...]

[...] Only by finding these can you discover the nature of human personality and the nature of reality within which it operates.

[...] First of all, the emphasis was on the delivery of the Seth Material itself, as in the twice-weekly sessions Seth continued to explain the nature of nonphysical reality. [...]

Yet, even when we admit the inspirational and supportive nature of dreams, even when we learn to recall dreams and apply them to daily life, we still only begin to glimpse their multidimensional reality. [...]

Dream investigation or manipulation as an aesthetic pursuit — as an art, embarked upon for its own sake — this is something else again and is sometimes suspect because of its solitary nature. [...]

[...] He will adopt the female role, which is more natural to his personality, and be more at ease with creative functions at the spontaneous level. [...] The mother-love experience has done much however to balance a too-aggressive nature.

[...] He can show his aggressive nature, which is basically his creative nature, but he does not have to deal with it. [...]

[...] They also need spontaneity, and for his own nature, I try to see that both needs are met. [...]

[...] The psychic work with Ruburt has a strong spontaneous nature, and at times he resents, while he also needs, the regular schedules that you seem to require physically.

[...] If parents believe that the body is somehow an inferior vehicle for the spirit, or if they simply view the body as unreliable or weak and vulnerable, then children will at an early age begin to consider good health as a rarity, and learn to take depression, poor spirits, and bodily aches and pains to be a natural, normal condition of life.

There is no natural reason for children to feel a sense of shame concerning any bodily part. [...]

[...] Each child should be educated as early as possible by their parents, so that the youngsters are repeatedly reminded of the body’s natural resources and healing abilities.

[...] You are not in competition with other species, nor are you in any natural competition with yourselves. Nor is the natural world in any way the result of competitiveness among species. [...]

The “laws” of supply and demand are misconceptions based upon a quite uncomplimentary belief in man’s basic greedy nature. [...]

[...] It operates above as well, but I am here concerned with the cooperative nature with which value fulfillment endows all units of consciousness within your physical world.

[...] The child naturally “competes” against herself or himself (amused) in an urge to outdo old performance with new. [...]

Jane Roberts’s experience to some extent hints at the multidimensional nature of the human psyche and gives clues as to the abilities that lie within each individual. [...]

While you have highly limited concepts about the nature of the self, you cannot begin to conceive of a multidimensional godhood, or a universal reality in which all consciousness is unique, inviolate — and yet given to the formation of infinite gestalts of organization and meaning.

[...] Your religions do not explain your greater reality, and your sciences leave you [just] as ignorant about the nature of the universe in which you dwell.

[...] They may appear esoteric or complicated, yet they are not beyond the reach of any person who is determined to understand the nature of the unknown elements of the self, and its greater world.

[...] It seems to you that visually, for example, the natural world must be put together or perceived in a certain fashion.

[...] Visually, early man did not perceive the physical world in the way that seems natural to you.

[...] Nature and spirit therefore were one.

[...] Through your own particular focus, the consciousnesses of the natural world merged to form a synthesis in which, for example, symphonies can emerge. [...]

[...] Animals, it is true, do not reflect upon the nature of their own identities as man does (pause), but this is because that nature is intuitively comprehended. [...]

(Long pause at 9:10.) The natural person is understood perhaps more clearly by considering any person as a child. [...]

In most cases children grow up, of course (pause), although in the vast overall picture of nature (pause) a goodly proportion of individuals do indeed take other courses. [...]

[...] They identify naturally with both, finding each valid and vital. [...]

[...] These sessions are certainly speeding up your learning process, and they are in themselves naturally the result of your inner expectations.

[...] Sensuous pleasure will do you both much good during your vacation, a sensuous and psychic immersion into the patterns of nature will refresh you both.

In your cases, at the very least one weekend a month should be set aside for sensuous immersion in the patterns of nature, when usual practical considerations are dispensed with. [...]

[...] Too many influences of this nature would be distracting, but some are definitely necessary; and again now, I would suggest that you invite a few congenial visitors to your home. [...]
