It is your natural state of being. In its larger aspects, then, nature involves states that include both life and death in far more expansive frameworks of reference.

[...] Most of you are not aware of this basic, mysterious nature of events, because it does not occur to you to study the inner fabric. [...]

[...] On the one hand they represent other events of the predream state, events beyond your comprehension in their “natural condition.” [...]

Books have been written about the nature of dreams. [...]

[...] In Ruburt’s natural, quite periodic rhythm of creativity, he writes rather steadily, exuberantly, and inspired. That is how he operates naturally. [...] He is regenerating, and those periods are also natural, and act to increase the creative “periods” of obvious daily production. [...]

He has been doing exceedingly well, for him, in that regard, following impulses to houseclean and so forth—trusting the entire shape of his nature. [...]

We shall have a session dealing almost entirely with the nature of energy gestalts, and you will see that while these pyramid energy gestalts do, on the one hand, achieve a unitary character and sublime intelligence, on the other hand they form only an approximation of humanity’s concept of a God. [...]

[...] It is a natural consequence of your own existence. [...]

[...] At other levels you exist and manipulate on other planes, which are consciously unknown to you, planes which are as valid as your own, and in which your existence is also a natural result of your own psychic makeup. [...]

This has nothing to do with reincarnation, but involves levels of experience, manipulations in other realities, that are a natural result of the psycho-physical gestalt of a human individual.

Now many in this class have been involved in many other sorts of a highly emotional nature, and so some of them are welded together in a certain way. There was a reason why there was no session last evening, and if you listen to the conversation, and if you understand the nature of suggestion as thoroughly as you should and must, then you will understand the reason. [...]

[...] You need to grow beyond the concern for the nature of the light. [...]

[...] The question is not, what is the nature of the light? [...]

(To Edgar) Now, and I say this with utmost kindness and good nature, you can tell Ruburt that you have no feelings, and you can tell the class that you have no feelings, and you can tell others that you do not care what is said or done to you, but do not tell me. [...]

You were quick to intuitively understand the nature of such inspiration. [...] It is not a luxury, but the nature that sustains each individual and the world. [...]

[...] You might quite properly say that much “work” is involved, but it is of an interior, concentrated, intent and largely invisible nature. [...]

[...] Naturally, however, your working method is different, and is built up of an intricate series of quite complicated logical judgements involving spatial relationships—in for example particular kinds of immaculate gradations. [...]

[...] The fact that these sessions are predictable says much, however, for the longstanding nature of such unpredictable events.

[...] I do think I’m a lot more aware of this than they are, because of the very nature of what I can do — but I can’t explain that to every person I speak to. [...]

He (Ruburt) was bound and determined to explore the nature of reality.¹ … He wanted to protect himself until he had enough knowledge to know what he was doing. [...]

(I think that because of the very nature of the abilities she’s chosen to develop in this life, Jane will always find such manipulations necessary. [...]

[...] As your beings naturally gravitate toward their own true natures. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s natural agility has been locked up, and is now being released. [...]

It means that you are finally placing yourselves under the directions of a far more extensive organization—a psychic one, in which all things return to their most natural beneficial form. [...]

(7:13.) You are entering into the kind of nature into which you were both born as infants, and which is a symbol of your own unique positions in the universe. [...]

[...] The coming sessions will of necessity involve us thoroughly in the nature of human personality in its psychic electromagnetic properties. [...]

[...] Until they realize the nature of such actions, two or three personalities may join as partners in such an endeavor, in which case the situation is more difficult to untangle. [...]

[...] They will eventually awaken to the nature of their activities, for there will be no counteraction of personalities, you see, and no growth.

As some of your reading material of late suggests, the more you know of the nature of reality the better equipped you are to deal with the point of transition. [...]

It is only from this viewpoint that the true nature of physical matter can be understood. It is only by comprehending the nature of this constant translation of thoughts and desires — not into words now, but into physical objects — that you can realize your true independence from circumstance, time, and environment.

[...] I mean that objects are natural by-products of the evolution of your species, even as words are. [...]

[...] But before we are finished we will see that basically speaking, each of you create the book you hold in your hands, and that your entire physical environment comes as naturally out of your inner mind as words come out of your mouths, and that man forms physical objects as unselfconsciously and as automatically as he forms his own breath.

Remember that ideas are as natural as the weather. [...] Unfortunately, no one examines the nature of mental reality from such a viewpoint. [...] As you come into your body with all of its physical surroundings, so at birth do you emerge into a rich natural psychological environment in which beliefs and ideas are every bit as real.

[...] That question, often asked unconsciously — if not consciously — brings you back to beliefs in punishment that have nothing to do with the concept of natural guilt, but with those distortions placed upon it. [...]

(Pause at 9:35.) As I have said frequently, time as you think of it does not exist, yet in your terms, time’s true nature could be understood if the basic nature of the atom was ever made known to you. [...]

The nature of matter itself is not understood. [...]

[...] When your scientists examine them for example, they do not examine the nature, say, of an atom. [...]

[...] You are ready to step aside from all conventionalized doctrines, and to some extent or another you are impatient to examine and experience the natural flowing nature that is your birthright. [...]

Now: Dictation (on The Nature of the Psyche: Its Human Expression): As the earth is composed of many environments, so is the psyche. [...]

[...] Symbols are as natural to your minds as trees are to the earth. [...]

[...] The very attempt to deny an action automatically changes the nature of the action, and also changes the nature of the individual who attempts to deny it. [...]

Emotions are a quite natural portion of action, and left to themselves are fluid. [...]

[...] The ego to a large degree, therefore, chooses during its development those characteristic actions which will form its nature. [...]

The habitual pattern or characteristic nature of the ego may then be led to refuse to accept an emotion, at the same time that a pattern has already been set to receive the particular type of emotion. [...]

[...] The great mystery, of course, and great questions, rest in the nature of that inner reality from which man weans [...] Such activities on a large scale are the end result of each natural person’s individual relationship with nature, and with nature’s source.

(Pause.) Now: Ruburt is progressing very well, and with your help, and both of you should become more and more aware of the natural persons that you are. [...]

[...] The Sinful Self was taught to distrust its own nature and expression, believing that that nature, by virtue of original sin, was flawed—but in a tragic fashion—literally damned by God, of course, because of the sins of the forefathers. [...]

[...] Again, the feelings of panic will naturally subside, but they are important for they are in their way the signs of the child crying—and earlier, Ruburt as the adult would not listen. [...]

[...] In the session he also touched upon several other points I’d raised very recently, including the nature of Jane’s symptoms. [...]

If you are in such a situation, do remind yourself that it is far more natural and probable for any problem to be solved, and that every problem has a solution. [...]

[...] They remind themselves that the planet is overpopulated, and project into the future the most dire of disasters, man-made and natural.

[...] They are also painting a highly prejudiced view of reality, leaving out all matters concerning man’s heroism, love of his fellow creatures, his wonder, sympathy, and the great redeeming qualities of the natural world itself. [...]

Nature does not know damnation, and damnation has no meaning in the great realm of love in which all existence is couched.

[...] You know now that the ego, because of its nature, attempts to set itself aside from action. [...] The ego, being part of action, nevertheless affects the nature of action as seen in the various manifestations of the whole self.

When we have gone into the nature of action still much more thoroughly, then you will be able to use such knowledge for quite practical purposes, and to your advantage. [...]

This in no manner affects the nature of those actions which you ignore. [...]

[...] It is difficult, even though we are so far into our sessions, to give you any full understanding yet of what is involved in the basic nature of suggestion, but as we go deeper into the subject there will be experiments that you both can try.

You have trained your consciousness to follow certain patterns that are not necessarily natural for it, and these patterns increase the sense of alienation between the waking and dreaming self. [...] Animals sleep when they are tired, and awaken in a much more natural fashion.

[...] This has definite effects upon the nature of your consciousness, your creativity, your degree of concentration. [...] All of this reflects upon the strength and nature of your consciousness.

[...] The mysterious aspects of the natural night in outside surroundings kept him partially alert. [...]

Now: I bring up these matters here because such changes in habitual patterns would definitely result in greater understanding of the nature of the self. [...]

Rob typed Seth’s other books, Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul, The Nature of Personal Reality, and the two volumes of The “Unknown” Reality, added his own notes, and did almost all the work of preparing them for publication. [...] Then almost immediately Seth began another, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events.

[...] And yet I feel that only a portion of his consciousness is here during sessions — the part expressed through me — so that whatever the nature of Seth’s native experience, his performance in our world only hints of a psychological complexity quite beyond our present understanding.

[...] He stresses the bisexual nature of humanity and the importance of bisexuality, both spiritually and biologically.

[...] More: He ties in his discussion of sexuality with the birth of languages and the nature of “the hidden God.”

[...] (The noise from the fireplace was now quite loud.) Your very ideas of the nature of reality change. [...] Translations and dramatizations that serve to give you glimpses of psychological structures whose very natures do not fit the facts of the world (all intently. [...]

[...] It didn’t seem natural for any creature to do that. [...]

In that same framework then the nature of my own reality also of course comes into question. [...]

I recognize the difficulties, for example, that you encounter quite personally as you struggle with Ruburt’s physical condition, or those you experience, say, watching television news as you see spread before your vision unfortunate events that seem to portray most clearly evidence of man’s flawed nature.
