Behind all of those instances we have been discussing, however, there is again the need for value fulfillment, that has been blocked largely by conflicting or even opposing beliefs.

[...] The individual must feel safe and protected enough to seek its own development and aid in the fulfillment of others. [...]

[...] He was not of equal value with a prince, either of church or state. His position was a poor one, yet its freedoms and limitations were known, and his value, whatever it was, was accepted as his station in life. [...]

[...] All meaningful work means in the meaningful and productive relationship between oneself and the natural world, that contributes to both one’s own survival and fulfillment, and to the survival and fulfillment of the natural world. [...]

(Pause.) The Roman Catholic Church seized upon art, inserted its own strong symbolism, provided art with a recognizable religious, social, and political value. [...]

[...] Nothing from that point on could change the intrinsic value of the individual. [...]

(Pause.) Each species is endowed with emotional feelings, immersed in an interior system of value fulfillment. Each species, again, then, is not only concerned with physical survival and the multiplication of its members, but [with] an intensification and fulfillment of those particular qualities that are characteristic of it.

[...] But you quite studiously ignore that feeling exists on microscopic levels, that there can be psychological particles, much less come to the conclusion that all particles are psychological particles, with their own impetuses for development and value fulfillment. [...] They seek the fulfillment of themselves through form. [...]

(9:23.) If the simplest particle is so endowed with impetus, with hidden ideals that seek fulfillment, then what about the human being? [...]

[...] Yet each person alive contains an element of greatness; and more, a desire to fulfill those inner abilities.

At more mundane levels the same kind of problem arises when art is considered according to its utility, function, or social value—as opposed to the idea of art for its own sake. [...]

[...] Actually the sessions show a remarkable synthesis of conscious and unconscious abilities, a creative blend that fulfills all portions of the psyche....

[...] Energy then expands in terms of value fulfillment, in the way that I have explained in past sessions.

Now I tried, ineffectively I might add, in the sessions to raise your expectations of the property for the same price, by justifiably showing you, I thought, how value fulfillment psychically could definitely add to the construction.

[...] That is, the smallest unit of individual consciousness which finds physical fulfillment in the formation of matter.

It represents also the minimum thrust value necessary for physical transformation of energy from a purely psychological into a physical state. [...]

[...] So far I have given you but one, which is value fulfillment. [...] The species of mankind, and all other species in your universe on your particular horizontal plane, follow this law [value fulfillment] under the auspices of evolution (my emphasis).⁵ In other camouflage realities, this law is carried through in different manners, but it is never ignored.

[...] In atomic physics, for example, no special meaning or place is given to any particular moment, and fundamentally the past and future all but merge in the interactions of elementary particles — thus at least approaching Seth’s simultaneous time.¹⁰ At that level there’s change, or value fulfillment, but no evolution. To Jane’s and my way of thinking, if there’s value fulfillment there’s consciousness, expressed through CU’s, or units of consciousness.

[...] If growth is one of the most necessary laws of your camouflage universe, value fulfillment corresponds to it in the inner-reality universe.⁴

[...] Energy transformation and value fulfillment, both existing within the spacious present [or at once], add up to a durability that is at the same time spontaneous … and simultaneous.

[...] You could be drawn into an entirely different value fulfillment system. [...]

[...] The value fulfillment system would be changed. [...]

[...] Psychological time, if you contemplate it, will set you free, so that you feel value fulfillment and durability within the time that you know. [...]

You will find that a creative, placid and yet fulfilling time is beginning, when you will both begin to do some of your best work. [...]

[...] Much work that we have done however in terms of the Philip (John Bradley’s entity area is Philip) readings, will be of great value, and serve to add to the authenticity, in other people’s eyes, of your adventure.

[...] Do you see the value and similarity of the approaches?

(For the last five weeks Jane has been intrigued by ideas about Seth’s next book, which, she said, would concern “the therapy of value fulfillment.” Seth has also used the phrase in connection with a next work.⁴ Now it appears that he’s settled upon a formal title for his book — one that Jane has received from him several times lately: Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment.)

[...] We will also be considering the matter of free will and its role in individual value fulfillment.

[...]

[...] Your own ideas of values can help you achieve good health or bring about disease, can bring into your experience success or failure, happiness or sadness. Yet each of you will interpret that last remark in line with your own value system. [...]

[...] But in the same meaning of the word neither is the spirit, which to fulfill the requirement of perfection would have to be set in some state of completion beyond which no fulfillment or creativity was possible.

[...] The more often you use these mental implements, the more proficient you become in developing and fulfilling your own unique gifts. [...]

While such help may be welcomed, the kind of value I offer is of a different nature. [...]

[...] From him we’ve derived the idea that “value fulfillment” represents the creative development of hard-to-define values which increase the quality of life for any being, whether human or not—and not only in moral terms.

(Seth actually began his Preface for this book, Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment, with the next, 881st session, which Jane delivered for him 12 days later [on September 25]. [...]

[...] In fact, after supper she produced two more pages of notes that she “picked up” from Seth on his new book Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment.

[...] “I just think that ‘value fulfillment’ is a strange phrase to use in a book title,” Jane said. [...]

[...] Value fulfillment seeks out pleasure. [...] Value fulfillment even with the animals insists upon a qualitative enjoyment of life’s existence—one that automatically fosters a loving cooperation with the rest of nature as the individual follows impulses toward various kinds of pleasures. [...]

[...] In actuality, of course, people’s pleasure, if it were understood and pursued, would lead to far more fulfilling and productive work, or working lives, since individuals would automatically know how to choose productive activities that brought them pleasure, and that were then pursued for their own sakes. [...]

In all cases, however, the need for value fulfillment, expression, and creativity are so important to life that when these are threatened, life itself is at least momentarily weakened. [...]

This does not mean that anyone consciously decides to get such-and-such a disease, but it does mean that some people instinctively realize that their own individual development and fulfillment does now demand another new framework of existence.

You see your cat suffers no ill effects from such play, although on another value level it would be termed destructive. [...] Value fulfillment is not measured according to size, and in such cases it is the value fulfillment, not of the captive so much as the potential savior.

Limitations set upon the self are damaging to the race as a whole, and impede value fulfillment. Psychic gates are closed by parents and fences set up around the self, closing out many important possibilities of growth and fulfillment; these barriers must be broken; as man’s conception of himself enlarges so will his actual capabilities and possibilities be extended. [...]

[...] A mental image then is also a pattern of internal sound with electromagnetic properties imbued with certain light values. In a sense, and a very real one, the mental image is incipient matter; and any structure so composed, combining the electromagnetic sound and light values, will automatically try to reproduce itself in physical existence, or materialization. [...]

There are certain properties within the structure of the chromosomes that must be activated by specific internal sound values. [...]

There are chains of influence that are actually composed of inner values of sound that thread together, as it were, the complicated interweavings of both the genes and chromosomes.

These sound values are literally interwoven in an electromagnetic pattern. [...]

A certain portion of physical growth, in terms of a series of moments, is, therefore, necessary for value fulfillment to show itself within a physical organism. But in the dream world, ‘growth’ is a matter of value fulfillment which is achieved through perspectives of action — through traveling within any given action, and following it and changing with it.

[...] The images appear and disappear much more quickly because value fulfillment is allowed greater reign.

[...] In the dream world, the slower physical growth process is replaced by psychic and mental value fulfillment which does not necessitate any long-range imprisonment of molecules within a pattern. [...]

Within the reality of the dream world, fulfillment and dependence, then, are not dependent upon permanence in physical terms. [...]

[...] If a dream object or event does so straddle what you call not only time but space, and if as I say dream objects and creations maintain some independence from the dreamer, then you must see that although the dreamer creates his dreams for his own purposes, selecting only those symbols which have meaning to him, he nevertheless projects them outward in a value fulfillment and psychic expansion.

[...] Once manifested, the individuality of energy then comes under the law of value fulfillment.

Energy can be transformed from one state to another, but once it achieves a personalized gestalt the individuality which it has formed must follow certain laws of value fulfillment, and this involves distinctions which we have not yet covered in our sessions.

[...] The subject of health cannot be considered in an isolated fashion, but must be seen in that greater context that gives health itself a value and a meaning. As mentioned earlier, each person will also try to fulfill their own unique abilities, and to “fill out” the experience of life as fully as possible.

[...] Each was well equipped to seek out its individual value fulfillment.
