“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] All of these belong to the realm of the inner senses. The inner senses represent your true powers of perception. [...] The physical senses are relatively easy to distinguish: You know what you see from what you hear. [...]

[...] They are a part of your inner senses’ larger spectrum of perception, and in the dream state you were not relying upon your physical senses at all.

The physical senses have to screen out such perceptions. [...]

The inner senses, though I have in the past described them by separating their functions and characteristics, basically operate together in such a way that in your terms it would be highly difficult to separate one from the others. [...]

[...] The crowds acclaim the sense of competition, the excitement, the rewards, and the belief in performance have all been responsible for the breaking of previous records. [...]

[...] Within the framework of your beliefs, nothing seemed to make much sense. [...]

[...] You sensed the shape of the probability that is now your life, that is now your life together (intently). [...]

[...] He sensed your abilities also, and psychically the two of you pooled your creative resources to reach beyond the reality that you know, to search for some other vaster framework that could help explain the events of your private reality and the events of the public world. [...]

[...] Their sense of wonder in the world, their sense of curiosity, creativity, and the vast areas of fresh mental and physical exploration, kept them alive and strong. [...]

[...] The senses did not fade in their effectiveness, and it is quite possible biologically for all kinds of regenerations of that nature to occur.

Man’s will to survive includes a sense of meaning and purpose, and a feeling for the quality (underlined) of life. [...]

[...] In that light, the senses do not fade. [...]

[...] Most religious concepts, unfortunately, regardless of the original intentions behind them, end up by dividing man from his own sense of grace—his sense of rightness within the universe, and the individual will do almost anything to gain back that sense, for it is highly vital. [...]

(9:00.) His Sinful Self therefore tried to restate its position in order to right the situation, but its reasoning, again, was that a sense of grace was dependent upon the prior admission of a sinful reality. [...]

[...] Until then you have parts operating at the very least without a sense of unity. [...]

[...] You are your subconscious self, and oftentimes what makes no sense to the ego makes good sense to the overall personality. [...]

I told you from the beginning that the inner ego is aware of data that is received through the inner senses as well as data from the outer senses.

Feelings and sensations and memories that it knows nothing of have built up your psychological identity, and given you a sense of continuity. [...]

[...] He could use his inner senses fairly frequently in his waking state, as he did momentarily during that incident.

(Tonight Jane said she interpreted the data to mean that she momentarily saw Seth’s apparition after waking up, before she switched to usual use of the outer senses. [...]

Therefore you accept them for they make sense to the physical mechanism. [...]

[...] Ruburt has always perceived with the inner senses. [...]

In your society, it is generally thought that a person must have a decent livelihood, a family or other close relationships, good health, and a sense of belonging if the individual is to be at all productive, happy, or content.

[...] They respond to its rich nuances in ways impossible to describe, so that their “civilizations” are built up through the interweavings of sense data that you cannot possibly perceive.

(I told Jane that I think Seth’s material on the animals’ sense equivalents of human civilizations is the best of its kind I’ve ever heard — most evocative indeed. [...]

[...] They gave man information—a kind that of necessity the new physical senses could not contain. Those senses could only perceive the immediate environment, but man’s dreams compensated for that lack, and filled out his consciousness by giving it the benefit of that larger generalized information to which it had once had an easy access. [...]

[...] Then perhaps what I am about to explain will make more sense.

[...] Creatures relied upon inner senses while learning to operate the new, highly specific physical ones that pinpointed perception in time and place. [...]

Dream bodies became physical, and through the use of the senses tuned to physical frequencies—frequencies of such power and allure that they would reach all creatures of every kind, from microbe to elephant, holding them together in a cohesive web of space-and-time alignment.

[...] The body consciousness is therefore given a superb sense of its own reality, a sureness of identity, a sense of innate safety and security, that allows it to not only function but to grow in the physical world. It is endowed with a sense of boldness, daring, a sense of natural power. [...]

[...] The inner self still related to dream reality, while the body’s orientation and the body consciousness attained, as was intended, a great sense of physical adventure, curiosity, speculation, wonder—and so once again the inner self put a portion of its consciousness in a different parcel, so to speak. [...]

[...] That is the self that is alert in the dear preciseness of the moments, whose physical senses are bound to light and darkness, sound and touch. [...]

[...] Unfortunately, science as it has developed in your time has resulted in a mistrust of the individual, and saddled him or her with a sense of powerlessness, subjectively, even while it has added a seeming sense of objective power. I say that it has seemingly added a sense of objective power (intently during a fast delivery). [...]

[...] I think that I always sensed this about Seth. It wasn’t that I mistrusted the Seth personality, but I felt it was a personification of something else — and that ‘something else’ wasn’t a person in our terms … Yet in an odd way I felt that he was more than that, or represented more; and that his psychological reality straddled worlds … I sensed a multidimensionality of personality that I couldn’t define.”

[...] Man no longer identifies with a storm, for example, and has lost his sense of relationship with it, and therefore his natural power over it. [...]

The form perceived by your outer senses is always composed of matter, of course. There are also however forms or structures that are what you may call psychological forms or structures, even within your own field, which you do not perceive with your outer senses, but which are nevertheless frameworks that underlie form as it appears in matter.

[...] The physical construction is then perceived by the outer senses as threatening and fearful, and influences through the outer senses the inner individual, so that he begins a vicious circle in an attempt to form further, more threatening physical constructions to combat the earlier ones. [...]

Each consciousness, besides the material structure or material form, also possesses a psychological structure that exists in a depth and solidity in another perspective which the outer senses do no perceive. [...]

[...] The inner senses represent such psychological structures. [...]

Animals have a sense of justice that you do not understand, and built-in to that innocent sense of integrity there is a biological compassion, understood at the deepest cellular levels.

(Pause.) What is usually forgotten is the real nature of aggressiveness, which in its truest sense simply means forceful action. [...]

[...] To do it you must have a sense of courage and adventuresomeness; and tell yourself that you refuse to be cowed by ideas that after all belong to you, but are not you.

[...] The fact is that man began to believe in demons when he started to feel a sense of guilt. [...]

[...] The physical senses chime in together to give you a dramatic sensual chorus, each “voice” keeping perfect time with all the other sensual patterns so that as a rule there is harmony and a sense of continuity, with no embarrassing lapses.

[...] The entire package of physical reality is dependent upon the senses’ data being timed — synchronized — giving the body an opportunity for precise action. In dreams the senses are not so restrained. [...]

In dreaming, however, the full sense-picture usually projected by the brain, and reinforced by bodily action, is not necessary. [...]

[...] Then explore your own conscious sense perceptions of the orange. [...]

[...] It seems to the reasoning mind that it must look outside of itself for information, for it operates in concert with the physical senses, which present it with only a limited amount of information about the environment at any given time. [...] The legs today cannot walk down tomorrow’s street, so if the mind wants to know what is going to happen tomorrow, or what is happening now, outside of the physical senses’ domain, then it must try through reason to deduce the information that it wants from the available information that it has. [...]

Direct cognition is an inner sense. In physical terms you might call it remote sensing. [...]

[...] Those sensed, additional improvements have to wait for the next effort: A creative tension between the present and the future is set up, then—one that I’ve often felt, an impatience to leap ahead to the next step even while I’m still working out the current one. [...]

(10:01 P.M. “Boy,” Jane said, “I sensed a whole bunch of stuff on dreams, and when I reached that part on reincarnation and dreams, I knew that’s where I was supposed to get. [...]

[...] To some extent or another, however, the child in you remembers a certain sense of mastery only half realized, of power nearly grasped, then seemingly lost forever — and a dimension of existence in which dreams quite literally came true. The child in you sensed more, of course: It sensed its own greater reality in another framework entirely, from which it had only lately emerged — yet with which it was intimately connected. [...]

[...] He is therefore a victim, and his sense of personal power is eroded.

In that literally power-packed few hours, he also knew that the physical senses did not so much perceive concrete phenomena, but actually had a hand in the creation of events that were then perceived as actual.

[...] You believed that reality had more to it than the senses showed. [...]

[...] (Long pause, then quite slowly:) All creatures are also born, then, with a keen sense of self-approval.

[...] The nail, then, is indeed filled with its own sense of self-approval.

It is very unfortunate, therefore, when adults inadvertently undermine a child’s sense of self-approval. [...]

You wanted to express now the fuller inspirations that come later, and with an exquisite sense of form that Josef never learned. The sense of form incidentally will, mark my words, emerge in a new way for you, but even the information given that so upset you had its purpose in your whole plan.

[...] You sense its great dimensions, the richness of its complexity. [...]

[...] It forces upon you a sense of responsibility to use what you have, while instead it should mean simply being what you are, and being what you are (underlined) will automatically produce excellent paintings.

[...] They are two different kinds of things, but you would sense the different kind of thing. [...]

[...] This evening, however, Ruburt somewhat sensed not only a distance but also the larger complications of my activities.

[...] In a strange fashion, and in this particular case, your conflict with your notes⁴ had to do with a sense of orderliness aroused by the need to assemble facts. [...]

If you can, try to sense this greater context in which you have your being. [...]

[...] In this session, in the words I speak — but more importantly in the atmosphere of the session — there are hints of those undecipherable yet powerful realities that will then, in your time, gradually be described in verbal terms that make sense to you.

[...] With its own sense data, it will see its safety. [...]

[...] I want each of you personally to equate your reality with you sense data.

Your animals possess a closer bond by means of the inner senses. [...] The universe expands, again, in terms of value fulfillment, and in ways which your outer senses cannot comprehend.

[...] I presume the name makes sense to you. [...]

[...] It will be discovered that the inner senses represent your only long-lasting method of such travel.

When it is understood that space and time are both camouflages, and that your cause and effect theory is a result of a continuity theory that no longer makes sense, then your scientists will recognize the impossibility of trying to decipher basic reality with camouflage instruments, and vehicles, that of themselves produce distortive theories, and only serve to probe further into a camouflage pattern.
