[...] So will you sense, Joseph, the contours of your own work as it appears in your painting, and in “Unknown” Reality.

What I say for the rest of the evening will be silent.

A clear, uncluttered, bright, and powerful consciousness needs frequent rest periods if its efficiency is to be maintained, and if it is to correctly interpret reality. Otherwise it distorts what is perceived.

He takes new interest in what food is in your cupboard or refrigerator. [...] His thoughts were on what he wanted to do, though he very definitely had to consider the means, the getting about.

[...] You both decided to do what you wanted to do regardless of any “psychic field” of endeavor. [...]

You could have “amended your ways,” but you both insisted upon what you wanted, and persevered in your highly individualistic ways of looking at your world—and in pursuing questions and accomplishments that you knew from the beginning were not those of the official world.

You might feel like applying yourself to “Unknown” Reality, and you might feel like writing steadily for many hours. [...]

Reading those sessions together is important, for it is the inner realities and the inner insights that will also release the thyroid’s proper activity, and allow the resumption of more normal physical expression. [...]

[...] She didn’t remember much of what Seth had said—yet she also knew she’d told me various parts of the material through the day. [...]

[...] When we’d told Dr. K. what Dr C. had said, Dr K. had remarked that Dr C. “hadn’t seen as many cases of arthritis as Dr. S. had” —meaning of course that Dr C. wasn’t that much of an expert, and that his opinion could be discounted....)

[...] In what kind of a relationship? [...]

[...] After all, in the conventional sense what was one to do with personal material from whatever source but keep it personal? [...]

For some years Jane and I devoted much work to learning the processes detailed in all of those early unpublished sessions, which were followed by her series of published books like The Seth Material, Seth Speaks, The Nature of Personal Reality, and so on. [...]

[...] Apropos of that statement, what’s left after publishing the deleted sessions? [...]

[...] Ruburt’s abilities were only beginning to show themselves, and had what we may refer to as a low-range frequency. There was an affinity to begin with, but Ruburt simply could not reach far enough, or within and through the inner senses enough, to contact me directly; and there are what you may call for simplicity’s sake, conventions of conduct which I would not break.

[...] The door represented what seemed to be a new opportunity. The figure inside represented the actuality; that is, what seemed to be an opportunity would instead end up as a dead end, a threatening and stagnant position. [...]

[...] It is merely an interpretation of reality, colored or seen through a state of limited perception. [...]

[...] Nevertheless I will defer to what I believe is your wish in this matter. [...]

In normal terms in life, while the conditions for life are given, the nature of physical time means that practically speaking life will be full of surprises, for in usual terms you do not know what will happen tomorrow. [...] They do not usually concentrate with the same intensity in all areas of their lives, so there is seldom what you might think of as any ideal balance. [...]

[...] Our questions change continually in a slow rhythm, we’ve noticed, constantly evolving into what we hope are more penetrating ones as we continue to learn. [...]

[...] The idea of those pendulum sessions should not be to find out what is wrong, but to discover Ruburt’s feelings and beliefs, and to ascertain how they can be changed to bring about more favorable conditions.

[...] But the subconscious knows that the quality of life for that individual involves such exhilaration, and such a person literally chooses that rather than, for example, what someone else might consider a well-balanced long life.

[...] Since what follows is reconstructed from memory it is to some extent out of chronological order. [...] Yet I feel that what follows is a good account.)

[...] They do not mean what you think they mean. [...] If you want to learn more about your dreams and what they really mean, I will discuss them in a regular session. [...]

[...] She sensed a conflict between what she wanted to portray, and her limited technical abilities in getting the actual images on canvas. [...]

[...] The main difference between the dream and “reality”, of course, is that the Potter family was not present this evening.

[...] What about those other reasons, then? [...]

^* In 1974 I wrote in Jane/Seth’s The Nature of Personal Reality: “The pendulum is a very old method. [...]

[...] “I have some difficulties with Ruburt’s own stubborn attitude at times; but we must also take this into consideration, and so we shall … I will seriously endeavor to do what I can do, within our circumstances. [...] In a regular session I will discuss what can be done. [...] But since we understand both the potentialities and limitations, then we can make the most of what we have.”

[...] I don’t know what I expected from Dr. Osis, but I sure as the devil wasn’t ready to see what Seth could or could not do. [...]

[...] I need time to consider what we can do, what your ideas are.”

[...] That’s what it amounts to,” I said tearfully to Rob. [...]

[...] Actually she wanted Seth to comment on her overall condition, what was happening, etc.)

[...] Since Ruburt’s nature was rather—rather—extravagantly different from what he considered the norm to be, and since he possessed abilities that were not common generally and specifically to his sex, he became even more unduly suspicious of his own nature. [...]

[...] More than this, the body automatically, spontaneously responds to emotion, and yet in that spontaneous activity what inner discipline reigns.

[...] In the past he cut the desires down, to make sure that the most important prerogatives would be met, but his picture of reality was too small. [...]

A consideration of his own feelings and attitudes in class will help him see what he does right then, and what negative thoughts and emotions are present at many other occasions. [...]

[...] The intellectualization of the fears can be a trick to avoid facing their emotional reality, so beware of that.

[...] He also stopped writing what he thought of as pessimistic poetry, which had performed the same function, allowing for the expression of fearful emotions. [...]

[...] What is he afraid of?

[...] Try as I might, I couldn’t find the proper adjective to describe the groin sensations; they weren’t ones of pain—but what?

[...] Americans have had a fine and often understandable disdain for what was thought of as the European gentleman, or even the literary gentleman, or the man who somehow or other did not have to “rub elbows with the masses.” [...]

[...] There is no one who can tell you how many dollars per hour you receive for your work, or what value it has. [...]

The man of letters is not understood either, and you feel that your brothers cannot understand what you do, since their minds seem relatively closed —relatively closed—to the books themselves, which would automatically offer an explanation. [...]

[...] The conflict—when it was touched off you see by the need to make more money again—the conflict resulted from what would appear to be two methods of making money. [...]

[...] Whenever he fights what you want, or believe necessary, there is a very strong reason, and you had both better inquire into it, for he does not cross you lightly. [...]

[...] It is not a question of fearing to face reality financially. [...]

[...] Except for a barrier, yes, Ruburt may do what he wishes with his furniture. [...]

[...] It has the ability to see what is coming, so to speak, but while the frightened ego is still in control it chooses to see only a portion of what is possible, and before the point of death it usually chooses to hide in the past.

[...] In this case a potential observer would see what would appear to be an ordinary physical being.

[...] A sort of suspension of what you might call logic is necessary before such feats can be performed well enough for there to be a scientific proof, definite enough to be accepted. [...]

If you hear people talking, remember to listen to what they are discussing, and the language in which they speak. [...]

[...] So tell Ruburt not to be so impatient with himself, to remind himself that he can indeed trust the self that he knows, regardless of what he had been taught to believe.

[...] When I wish I could somehow make you understand that reality springs from your thoughts, and not the other way around, and that any given thought is far more real in basic terms than the table upon which Ruburt rests his foot (stamping upon the table with that foot). [...]

(I was appalled as what I was seeing began to sink in. [...]

(Seth’s comments re war and probabilities evidently mean that in his view Jane and I have moved into a probable reality where nuclear war will not happen. [...]

I am trying to give you some kind of an overall picture so that you can make your own helpful comparisons, and understand more thoroughly what is involved. [...]

Later he wonders what happened, that his life was saved, and his plans altered at the last moment. [...]

What you have seen lately are just beginning sentences in Ruburt’s condition. [...]

[...] His creative abilities work, no matter what he is doing, and they will work better and reach further when his body is normally flexible, able to relax normally as it should. [...]

[...] According to the physical validity or the extent of physical reality to be achieved, the physical body of the originator then lends, or transposes or transfers, portions of its own chemical structure. [...]

[...] Already, she said, she knew what Seth was going to discuss after break. [...]

(“What did Prentice think of your letter?”

(“While Jane and I were contending with those pseudoimages we had created at York Beach, in that crowded dancing establishment—did others in the room know what was going on?”)

[...] Jane doesn’t know which suggestion session —or all of them, say —brought about what effects. [...]

[...] If we create our reality, how come an inoculation will work, even if we don’t want it, or don’t believe in it? [...]

[...] That is exactly what Ruburt has feared, relaxing, so such ideas seem to confirm such needless worries to some degree.
