[...] As I asked Paul O’Neill last month: “How do you be objective about something when you’re inside of it?”)

(Tracing of the pay record used as the object in the 75th envelope experiment, in the 298th session for October 31,1966.)

Following our analogy, you will be his guest and from his rooms look down into your own with some greater objectivity. [...]

This is the same person who on the other hand used to put up barriers of bookcases at one end of the living room to protect himself from any neighbors or miscellaneous callers; who objected when Mr. Gottlieb dared to cross into his private working area and glance at a paper. [...]

[...] When some of these offer you a physical object for your home, they give in their way. [...]

[...] You do not believe in ideas in the same way that you believe in physical objects, so if I tell you that God is an idea, you will misinterpret this to mean that God is less than real — nebulous, without reality, without purpose, and without motive action.

It is, therefore, as if your thoughts appear within other realities as objects — alive and vital in themselves, growing into other systems as flowers or trees grow up seemingly from nothing within physical reality. [...]

19. Seth commented upon some of his own “psychic” abilities when I asked him if he’d telepathically acquired any information about the test object from me, since I was the one who had chosen it, rather than from the object itself. [...]

[...] This certainly does involve a looking inward on his part, but it is not self-hypnosis in usual terms — merely a focusing upon an objective inner stimulus … Any such signs (as the powerful, deeper Seth voice) involve camouflage patterns, and do not actually represent direct experience. [...]

[...] The first, for our own study, was for Seth to describe objects thoroughly sealed in double envelopes; the envelopes were prepared [unknown to Jane, of course] by myself and by others. [...]

Two quick reminders: 1. Clairvoyance (“clear-seeing”) is the paranormal perception of events or objects regardless of distance, and without help from another mind. [...]

“Isn’t the object to play the game … not to create or probe?”

[...] Using these, you form a physical environment cohesive enough so that there is general agreement as to objects and their placement and dimension. [...]

(“I don’t think Ruburt would object if you used some other term,” Rob said.)

(“The remark about objects—did that concern my parents’ house?”)

[...] When this is carried to an extreme you wind up with devil cults, in which the poorly understood powers of creativity and exuberance rush out in distorted form; the undersides of consciousness are then glorified at the expense of the other, white, “conscious and objective” values.

[...] The energy caught him quite unaware, you see, so that he could study it with some objectivity afterward.

(Long pause at 9:55.) In the beginning, then, there was a subjective world that became objective. [...]

The entities, or units of consciousness—those ancient fragments that burst into objectivity from the vast and infinite psychological realms of All That Is—dared all, for they joyfully abandoned themselves in space and time. [...]

[...] Its inner mysteries—which are indeed the mysteries of consciousness, not matter—cannot be explained, and must remain incomprehensible, if you try to study them from the viewpoint of your objective experience alone. [...]

(A one-minute pause at 9:29.) Devils and demons have no objective existence. [...]

[...] After the show, Jane wondered about Framework 2 immediately responding to the efforts shown by some of the gifted people on the show—those doing the firewalking, moving objects, fogging film, etc. [...]

[...] The events within it are, indeed, objective and concrete within their own field of reality, for example. [...]

I have told you that the ego is self-conscious action that attempts to set itself apart from action and to consider action as an object. [...]
