“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Probabilities always go off from points of psychological tension here, of course, and so they have a psychological validity for the individual involved in the world that you know. [...]

The window of each day can be opened or closed, but it is framed by your current psychological experience. [...]

(10:42.) The physically attuned conscious mind in your now cannot handle those staggering probabilities while maintaining a sense of identity, yet there are conscious traces within your daily thoughts that are the psychological representations of such knowledge.

[...] Identify then with the constantly new energy alive within you in this now of your being (very intently) and realize that on all levels you are biologically and psychologically connected with that greater identity that is your own.

[...] As this light and energy flows through, it will be tinted or colored by your own psychological reality, as the rays of the sun are through colored glass. [...]

[...] These reasons however have to do with circumstances that are usually beyond “normal” control: electromagnetic conditions, psychological circumstances—the psychological climate for example. [...]

The psychological bridgework of which I have spoken serves us well, however, and this exists on Ruburt’s part as well as my own.

(Much of the data on psychological bridgeworks was given at least a couple of years ago.)

[...] There is also a complicated psychological, very delicate manipulation that must occur. [...]

(Naturally, after Jane’s experience with psychological time earlier in the day, we wondered whether there would be a session at all tonight. [...]

If you recall, I told you that the psychological time experiments would prove more fruitful now, but Ruburt really came up with a peach.

[...] She said that the above material, dealing with the outward movement of the inner self through the head, reminded her that in her earlier psychological time experiments she had sometimes experienced a “bump on top of the head” sensation, momentarily, that had been rather unpleasant. [...]

[...] You will discover, Joseph, that your ability to receive so-called telepathic data is showing itself in psychological time experiments and dreams, as well as in spontaneous flashes during regular consciousness.

Psychological time, as I have said often, comes extremely close to the climate in which I have my existence, and which you exist in, but unconsciously. Experience with psychological time, and a continuous familiarity with it, will tell you more than words can about the basic realities of all existence.

(At 8:30 Jane and I tried psychological time. [...]

Each time you practice with the use of psychological time, you add to your abilities, though results may not always be immediate. [...]

Death, at first, feels like psychological time. [...]

[...] As I stated before, that part of the world was filled with would-be messiahs, self-proclaimed prophets, and so forth, and in those terms it was only a matter of time before man’s great spiritual and psychic desires illuminated and filled up that psychological landscape, filling the prepared psychological patterns with a new urgency and intent. [...]

(Pause.) You must understand the long trail of psychological reality that exists before you have a physical event. [...]

(9:25.) These all had to flow into reality, into psychological patterns through man’s own understanding. [...]

New sentence: In your historical past, when man identified his identity with the soul, he actually gave himself greater leeway in terms of psychological mobility, but eventually the concept of the soul as held resulted in a distrust of the intellect. [...]

[...] The child in a fashion feels — feels — its own thoughts rise from a relative psychological invisibility into immediate, vital formation. [...]

The child first explores the components of its psychological environment, the inside stuff of subjective knowledge, and claims that inner territory, but the child does not identify its basic being with either its feelings or its thoughts. [...]

[...] They remain, however, an important element in life’s overall picture — part of a psychological underpainting that always affects later versions.

[...] If you believe that the body is sinful, for example, you cannot expect to be happy, and health will most likely elude you, for your dark beliefs will blemish the psychological and biological integrity with which you were born.

[...] All of these, however, strain the individual’s biological sense of integrity, reinforce ideas of danger, and shrink the area of psychological safety that is necessary to maintain the quality possible in life. [...]

[...] The body’s defenses will take care of themselves if they are allowed to, and if the psychological air is cleared of the true “carriers” of disease.

[...] Upon leaving the state of psychological time I forgot this sighting, but remembered it while in the state of psychological time the following day.

(While trying psychological time I had the following experiences. [...]

[...] I showed her our growing list of psychological time experiences, in the hope that Seth would discuss them tonight. [...]

[...] The suggestions given in the material, the exercises in psychological time and so forth, are to be approached as you approached them, after a thorough knowledge of the material, and familiarity with the purposes behind the experiments.

(Seth, then, would be a message from the source self except that in this case the messenger is the message, formed into a richly “worded” psychological structure instead of into dry words on, say, a telegram. [...] But that “invisible” Seth would send out an actual psychological structure that takes over in place of Jane’s, as her own structure voluntarily steps aside during sessions. Earlier in this appendix, see the excerpts on the psychological bridge from the 242nd session.

[...] (See notes 5 and 6 for Session 702.) They can operate in a freewheeling fashion as identities in themselves, or as ‘psychological particles.’ They can also operate in a wavelike fashion, flowing through other such particles. They can form together into endless, infinite combinations, forming psychological gestalts. Certain portions of these gestalts can then operate as ‘psychological particles’ in time and space, while other portions operate in a wavelike manner outside of time and space. [...]

(Shortly after Jane finished Seven, the entire idea for what she calls “Aspect Psychology” came to her — an “intuitive construct” that she thought was large enough to contain her experience. [...] As Jane wrote, she realized that the questions she had been struggling with in Adventures had triggered a new psychology, a new way of approaching the creative portions of human personality.

[...] It is simply a well-specialized part of the personality, fully equipped to operate under certain circumstances²¹ … When those conditions no longer exist [after “death”], then other layers of the self take over the dominant position, and the personality realigns its psychological components. [...]

[...] They are afraid of making mistakes, terrified of betraying this sensed inner psychological superior. [...] Both of them, relatively isolated psychological polarities, hold about equal sway. All other psychological evidences that are ambiguous, or not clearly understood by either side, group together under their own psychological banners. This is a kind of circular rather than linear arrangement, however, psychologically speaking.

The person labeled schizophrenic, momentarily or for varying periods of time, lacks a certain kind of psychological veneer. This is not so much a basic lack of psychological finish as it is the adoption of a certain kind of (pause) psychological camouflage.

[...] The patterns are seen in an exaggerated fashion, so that in some such cases at least you can gain glimpses of mental, emotional, and psychic processes that usually remain psychologically invisible beneath the more polished or “finished” social personality of the usual individual.

The communications themselves are often a kind of psychological or symbolic code, such as might indeed be used in military intelligence. [...]

[...] Instead it’s as if I’m practicing some precise psychological art, one that is ancient and poorly understood in our culture; or as if I’m learning a psychological science that helps me map the contours of consciousness itself … after all this time, I’m finally examining the trance view of reality and comparing it to the official views of science and religion. [...]

[...] Or rather, I felt an inner psychological motion happening — a movement as definite, yet subtle as the shadows that flickered on the floor. [...]

[...] After the layoff, there was Seth poised psychologically once again (for over the thousandth time). [...]

“This is almost always an exhilarating experience, like riding some perfect gigantic ninth wave of energy, knowing exactly how and when to ‘jump in’, and feeling absolutely safe and supported even when embarked upon such a strange psychological flight. [...]

[...] You are not the same being physically, psychologically, spiritually, or psychically, and ten minutes later you will be different again. To deny this is to try to force consciousness into some rigid form from which it cannot ever be freed, to apply rules to it that make a very neat psychological landscape.

[...] You know that you hallucinate the room, that you are as much in trance here as you ever are when you are in psychological time. [...]

[...] I am not speaking of physical elements, but of the psychological characteristics of consciousness, for even those continually merge and change.

Now if you wish, quality-depth operates within the value climate of psychological reality, and gives truly amazing dimension to the spacious present, which is contained within the value climate of psychological reality.

(On Tuesday, June 2, I missed trying psychological time. [...]

[...] It could easily be called the inner extension of your psychological time, so you will see its importance.

Psychological time indeed involves you in the initial venturing. [...]

(Trying psychological time on Tues. [...]

[...] But when he relates to the world at large, his first unfortunate reaction is a panic that is derived from psychological and emotional heritage, environmental as he picked up his mother’s distrust of the outside.

[...] I even suggest that you dispense with your psychological time experiments during that time.

[...] I also suggest that you dispense with psychological time for the remainder of this week. [...]

[...] He is now doing better with his psychological time experiments, and he must let this spontaneity expand into other aspects of his life. [...]

[...] Jane was interested in this description because it tallied with an effect she attains quite often in psychological time experiments—this feeling of a light within, even though the eyelids are squeezed tightly shut. [...]

Ruburt’s psychological time experience recently was correct, in that he will soon hear about a sale. [...]

(See Jane’s psychological time experience of October 30, page 102.)

[...] You do not insist upon seeing, feeling or touching a psychological experience, and yet you do not say that a psychological experience does not exist because you cannot hold it in both hands.

[...] It did not appear constructed, that is in constructed form, for a long period of physical time however, and we have discussed psychological time as being part of what I will call for now an inner time sense.

This human self-consciousness existed in psychological time and in inner time long before you as a species constructed it in terms of your particular camouflage patterns. [...]

Now the point I wanted to make is that again as I have said, in the same manner that psychological experience is real and vivid and yet cannot be seen or touched or examined in your laboratories, so is inner data from the inner senses vivid, though it cannot be seen or touched.

Dictation then: Probabilities are an ever-present portion of your invisible psychological environment. [...]

[...] They are profound psychological interconnections that bind you each to each, particularly in a telepathic framework, though this may be beneath normal consciousness. [...]

[...] Because you are involved in an intricate psychological gestalt such as this, and because the connections mentioned earlier do exist, you can avail yourself to some extent of abilities and knowledge possessed by these other probable portions of your personality.

[...] Remember, however, that in a most legitimate way many events that are not physically perceived or experienced are as valid as those that are, and are as real within your own invisible psychological environment.

Generally speaking, the psyche has the same kind of instant overall comprehension of psychological events and environments as your body has of physical ones. It is then aware of your overall psychological climate locally, as it involves you personally, and in world terms.

[...] An emotional eruption will do the same thing on another level, altering the local area primarily but also sending out its ripples into the mass psychological environment. [...]

[...] Events can be considered in the same fashion, as psychological sentences put together from the alphabet of the senses — experienced sentences that are lived instead of written, formed into perceived history instead of just being penned, for example, into a book about history.

(9:26.) When I speak of an inner psychological universe, it is very difficult to explain what I mean. (Pause.) In that reality, however, psychological activity is not limited by any of the physical laws that you know. [...]

[...] … (A one-minute pause.) These units of consciousness, however, add themselves up to form psychological beings far greater in number than, say, the number of stars in [your] galaxy (over 400 billion of them), and each of those psychological formations has its own identity—its own soul if you prefer—its own purpose in the entire fabric of being.

There is, as I have told you, an inner (pause) “psychological” universe, from which your own emerges, and that inner universe is also the source of Framework 2 as well. [...]

[...] In that psychological universe, then, it is possible for entities “to be everywhere at once,” aware of everything at once. [...]
