[...] Nature in all of its varieties is so richly encountered by the animals that it becomes their equivalent of your structures of culture and civilization. [...]

They know, the animals, in a way that you cannot, that their private existences have a direct impact upon the nature of reality. [...]

You have believed that the natural contours of nature were somehow antagonistic to your own existence, so that left in the hands of nature alone you would lose your way. [...]

[...] But the inner natural leanings of all of consciousness within the realms of your being now yearn for constructive change, clearer vision, to experience again their inherent sense of corporal spirituality, physical and psychic grace. They want to sense again the effortless motion that is their natural birthright.

[...] You dwell in a state of natural grace that is quite alive and vital whether or not science decrees that consciousness possesses its own intent. Nature is supernatural all the while, of course.

(Long pause.) The sessions on magical approach do indeed represent the most “natural truths” about the nature and structure of your world, to the extent that you understand them and put them into practice.

[...] Nor is sex, as you understand it, natural to them. [...]

Now: In my home environment I assume whatever shape I please, and it may vary, and does, with the nature of my thoughts. [...]

[...] We are able to travel through emotions in a way that is not now natural to you, and to translate them into other facets of creativity than those with which you are familiar. [...]

[...] Actually, however, regardless of appearances and misreadings of natural events, the very idea of disease as you usually think of it, is chauvinistic (louder) in health rather than in sexual terms.

Later we will discuss what this means to you, the individual person, but for now I want to stress the fact that while it may seem natural enough to consider disease as a threat, an adversary or an enemy, this is not the case.

[...] Some are indeed quite natural reactions, and others are learned reactions to certain events. [...]

[...] He is naturally gifted with the quickness of body and mind. Remind him that it is safe to express his natural (underlined) rhythms, to remember the natural person. [...]

Because of his cultural beliefs, he was also determined that his “womanly nature” would not impede his progress as a writer, or yours as an artist. [...]

[...] All of this, however, is connected with the misunderstanding concerning the nature of the creative self, and on both of your parts. [...]

The upsurge of fundamental religion in the Arab world (meaning Iran) has a certain correlation with the upsurges of fundamental Christianity in your country, and will indeed serve as a needed reminder around the world of the exaggerated nature that religion can take when it is allied with government. [...]

(Pause.) You do not understand the nature of your own psychological extensions, or how your written words influence others. [...]

[...] He is in a way a different kind of psychologist, examining the nature of psychological reality from different viewpoints. [...]

[...] Ruburt uses abilities that do not fit that known world’s categories—abilities that by their nature straddle many dimensions of activity, none of them normally conventional, normally established, none of them easily defined. [...]

[...] I have a certain freedom by nature that is (pause) “traded in” by mortal people in return for life’s brilliant focus. [...]

[...] He likes encounters with other people, naturally, but he does not like crowds nor speaking to a kind of mass mind, directly encountered. [...]

In many situations, the main personifications are instead of a ritual nature, taking advantage of psychological patterns already present in the culture’s art or religion or science. [...]

[...] Some stood for forces of nature that could very well be at times advantageous, and at times disadvantageous—as, for example, the god of storms might be very welcome at one time, in periods of drought, while his powers might be quite dreaded if he overly satisfied his people. [...]

(10:14.) These include man’s ability to identify with the forces of nature, to project portions of his own psychological reality outward from himself, and then to perceive those portions in a revitalized transformation—a transformation that then indeed can alter physical reality.

The next natural step would be to reassimilate those portions of the self, to acknowledge their ancient origins and abilities, to return them so that they form a new coating, as it were, or a new version of selfhood. [...]

[...] And if you were more natural about it, it would come more easily. It is as natural to you as the air. [...]

[...] Accept it, and realize that the nature of its validity will come to you. [...]

[...] And in all cases, the ego that you know develops and learns, and this alters the nature of the self that you are now, and it changes the characteristics of the ego as you presently think of it. [...]

In periods of play the child actually often continues some games initiated quite naturally in the dream state. [...]

[...] Look at a natural object, say a tree; if it is spring now, then imagine that you see it in the fall.

[...] Such attitudes not only drastically impede any artistic creativity, but the imaginative creativity necessary to deal with the nature of physical events themselves.

[...] Dreams, or even daydreams of a frightening nature, can fulfill that purpose. [...]

Because of your natures you will seek this, be refreshed, plunge into your work, and again seek refreshment. While this pattern shows rather contrasting elements you will find a natural pattern; and some emotional actualization must also be evident in daily life.

[...] It came from an excellent source, a pyramid gestalt personality, with definite characteristics, but the alien nature of the personality was too startling to Cayce, and he could not perceive it. [...]

In other words the repressed emotionalism will only carry you so far before you need to be refreshed in Ruburt’s reality; and through approaching his reality you also gain, in a different manner than you usually know it, refreshment from the natural world.

[...] You would think it idiotic to image what happened to the ball when youcould see it no longer, for habit would work in such a way that the disappearance of the ball would seem natural and normal, and a part of the nature of things.

They have little to do with the nature of basic reality. [...]

[...] All of these questions follow naturally, and should be here answered.

[...] Briefly, certain units would settle upon various kinds of organization, find these significant, then build upon them and attract others of the same nature. [...]

[...] That implies another kind of multipersonhood, however, one actually allowing for the fulfillment of many abilities of various natures usually left unexpressed. [...]

[...] There are physical variations of a sexual nature, so that on all levels identity includes the male and female. [...]

[...] You view the fantastic variety of physical life — its animals, insects, birds, fish, man and all his works — with hardly a qualm; yet you must understand that the nature of consciousness itself is far more varied, and you must learn to think of an inner reality that is as infinite as the exterior one. [...]

[...] They came to you because they wanted you to question the nature of reality more deeply than you have done so. [...] They have their own business to attend to and their own reality to meet and their own challenges to accept, but, they are coming to you so that you will be aware of their continued existence; and also so that you will be aware of the nature of your own inner self which is as free of your physical body now as they are. [...]

[...] It is very important to understand the nature of your own inner self and symbolism behind action. [...]

[...] You see, because of the creative nature of your personalities, even when you thrust a pain apart from yourselves and give it as a heritage to a fragment personality, you give it, also, your creative power and your hopes. [...]

[...] Now, in doing so you will find that the personality is as different as, say, this table viewed from different angles and discover all facets of identity with which three-dimensional reality is by nature ignorant. [...]

Now, it would have been far more beneficial had he been able to use that energy, keep it as a part of himself and transform it into a more constructive nature. [...]

[...] They became so terrified of the natural earth, with its pounding rains and wind that they literally crept into the bowels of the earth and lived there feeling as triumphant, when they set up a civilization within the earth, as you will feel when you set one up outside of the earth. [...]

[...] You do not understand the holy and sacred nature of life or energy and that you cannot misuse it. [...]

[...] I will have more to say on the nature of violence and the different civilizations and how they have handled it in later class sessions. [...]

Our sessions in general, the matter of spontaneity and discipline, your own fears, rather natural enough, concerning any subconscious effect I might have on Ruburt.

[...] For to deliver these things he must, because of his nature, deprive them of other more important considerations.

[...] Such a procedure would have satisfied a strong demand of your nature, but it would not have isolated you to an unhealthy degree, since it was close by.

Ruburt, incidentally, simply because of his nature and through no design, was of benefit to you here, since he never commented on the penis in an adverse manner.

[...] I am telling you that each hallucination is a face that reality takes and that within them all the nature of reality resides. [...]

[...] But using these alone you will never come to terms with the nature of your own existence. [...]

[...] No one can learn to manipulate physical reality in the way that you can or understand the nature of their own consciousness in the way that you can. [...]

You are hypnotized, and you hypnotize yourselves daily, to believe there is only one reality, the physical one that you know and so I would call it, you see, a state of being—hypnotization, where you are freed from a compulsive demanding focus upon physical reality, and where your consciousness is allowed some freedom to pursue its own nature. [...]

(Pause, one of many.) Time periods are natural and creative. [...]

Give us a moment … Time periods themselves, then, are somewhat like platforms — natural platforms — that serve “time and time again” to bring forth fresh life. [...]

[...] Because you think in terms of time sequences, it is natural for you to think of your psychic lineage in the same way. [...]

[...] Any of these discussions are of necessity of a simple and uncomplicated nature. [...]

1. Naturally, Seth’s material here began to sound very reminiscent of Jane’s and my own Sumari characteristics — especially those concerning the “mystical sense of connection with nature” that each of us feels, and our individual desires “to work in solitude.”

[...] Some live in cities, basking in the emotional nearness of others, content with a few flowerpots for a reminder of nature’s beauty. [...]

[...] Yet they are deeply involved in nature, and in that respect they are more highly attuned psychically than most other people are.

[...] Then in their own fashion they begin their natural motions.

[...] He will naturally feel like walking as the muscles themselves demand to be used when they are ready.
