“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

… the so-called laws of your camouflage physical universe do not apply to the inner universe … However, the laws of the inner universe apply to all camouflage universes … Some of these basic laws have counterparts known and accepted in various camouflage realities.

6. Perhaps I should have briefly discussed it in Volume 1, but ever since Seth originally gave his “Joe, Jane, Jim, and Bob” material (as I call it) in the 683rd session, I’ve wondered about possible connections between the probabilities described in that session and our own reality: How much of our species’ distorted, intuitive knowledge of those probable realities may appear as myth and oddity in our camouflage universe? [...]

[...] Physical life is everywhere filled with the universal energy that is its source, so it can hardly be inferior to it’s own composition.

[...] In one way, a state of grace or illumination happens where there is the greatest poised balance of the conscious mind with other levels of the psyche and body — a biological and spiritual recognition of the individual’s wholeness within himself and his relationship with the universe at large.

Dreams are one of your greatest natural therapies, and one of your most effective assets as connectors between the interior and exterior universes.

[...] But you peer out through your own eyes at the universe. [...]

[...] As no action is meaningless, so the dream universe and the physical universe constantly replenish each other, and mental actions are performed in both universes, being camouflage acting symbols for inner action.

[...] I also suggest, merely as a matter of discipline, that he contemplate his part in the universe, so that he senses an enlargement of self in which personal worries and obsessions will not loom so large.

Discipline then should not only be considered, as it is by some schools of thought, as a mere mental discipline over the muscles, or various portions of the body by the inner self, but indeed a discipline in terms of training of the ego by the inner self, so that the ego as a personality achieves a well-balanced relationship with the physical universe.

I suggest that they follow the lines of expansion rather than contraction, in that the personality projects itself outward toward All That Is, hence drawing upon the energy of the universe, and extending the reaches of the self.

[...] Consciousness predates the physical universe. [...]

[...] The universe always was innately (underlined) objective in your terms, with its planets and creatures. [...]

[...] Imagining some great big-bang theory (to explain the creation of the universe) gives you an immense explosion of energy, that somehow turns into life but must wear out somewhere along the line — and if that were the case, life would be getting weaker all the time, but it is not. [...]

[...] You could, if you wished, condense your consciousness until it was small enough to travel through a single molecule, and from the molecule’s own world look out and survey the universe of the room and the gigantic galaxy of interrelated, ever-moving starlike shapes. [...]

You look out into the physical universe, and interpret reality according to the information received from your “outer senses.” [...]

[...] Jane’s and my dear friend, Debbie Harris, began making copies of all of the Seth sessions, plus the transcripts of Jane’s ESP classes, for the “collection” of Jane’s and my work in the archives of Yale University Library. [...]

I’m still not finished with the duplication of Jane’s and my papers for Yale University Library. [...]

[...] But I no longer felt as I did as a child, that the universe was well-intended or cared for me particularly; and looking about the world saw personal threats. [...]

(9:40.) That k-n-o-w-e-r (spelled) is instantly aware of all your needs, and is the portion of the universe that is personally disposed in your direction, because its energies form your own person. [...]

[...] Early man was in that same position, and his inventions—his tools, his artistry, and so forth—came into being from the inner, ever-present realm of the mind, triggered by his unconscious but quite real estimation of his position within the universe at large, and in regard to his own environment.

[...] It is true that, practically speaking, a man’s mind, or a woman’s, could not hold all of the information available now in your world—but much of that information does not deal with basic knowledge about the universe or man’s place within it. [...]

Instead, I am telling you that the universe is a good universe. [...]

[...] It is the way that the universe expands, and it is the way that entities form. [...]

[...] The dream reality cannot be entirely disconnected from the material universe because of its connections with human personality. [...]

Dream images, not astral projections, operate within certain electrical limits, limits that form the boundaries of the dream universe. [...]

Instead, I am telling you that the universe is a good universe. [...]

[...] It is the way that the universe expands and it is the way that entities form. [...]

[...] According to your terms, God never would have created any creature or any reality or any universe. [...]

I have said the universe, that is the inner universe, does expand, but does not expand in space. [...] And so does the universe expand, but space is merely a camouflage, useful to you for a time, constructed through the use of mental enzymes, subconsciously and only for a brief span.

[...] Jim also wanted to tell us about two of his friends who had been running some telepathy tests with personnel at the parapsychology lab at Duke University. [...]

[...] We do not have one simple, cozy universe in which to hide. [...]

[...] In some systems for example, it forms highly integrated mathematical and musical patterns that are themselves stimuli for other universal systems. [...]

[...] In the same way, it is believed that the energy of the universe will die out. [...]

[...] I said (14 years ago) that the universe expands as an idea does, and that is exactly what I mean.

(“It is a universal truth that whatever you impress on your subconscious mind is expressed on the screen of space as condition, experience, and event. [...]

[...] It is really futile to question whether the universe came from a big boom (again emphatically, humorously), or is constantly expanding (though in those terms I have said it continually expands, as an idea or a dream does). I am not saying the universe does not exist — only that it does not exist in the way that it seems to you.

“Now I am going to say good evening shortly, but remember — you call this your universe and your reality, and it is indeed, for you form it. [...]

11. I found it quite difficult to extract from the 747th session the material I wanted for this note on Atlantis, so interwound is it with closely related information on early man and animal kingdoms, the expanding-universe theory, archaeology, Jane’s other work, All That Is, and so forth. [...]

[...] The dream universe is obviously closely connected with your own, since pseudo-objects are present. [...] Within the dream state, then, you are in the ‘outward’ areas of the physically oriented universe.

You agree to accept certain data in the physical universe. [...]

There is a cohesiveness to the inner universe and to the systems that are not basically physical. [...]

5. Stability in time sequence is not a prerequisite requirement for an object, except as a root assumption in the physical universe.

[...] It might have seemed sometimes that our ideas were fanciful projections, hoped-for but unreal hypotheses that had their own important intrinsic creative value, but did not necessarily stand for any real statements of fact about the physical universe. [...]
