(Whatever thoughts, beliefs, opinions, theories or dogma you write, engrave or impress on your subconscious mind—you will experience them as the objective manifestation of circumstances, conditions and events; what you write on the inside, you experience on the outside. [...]

[...] I would push your heads collectively and individually underneath—for you still do not understand that you create your physical reality! [...]

[...] He should be drawing gratitude and health from this thought reality. [...]

[...] Added to this was what he felt to be the need to find employment, and the hope that his writing could be his livelihood. [...]

What he refers to as the shallowness, comparatively speaking, of his sexual response, had its beginning, again, when he knew the book would be published. [...]

[...] You knew that this was a reality in which you had not participated. [...]

You paint because you want to paint, and you set aside certain hours for your painting to insure that you will have sufficient time to do what you want to do; and this should be the reason for the regularity of our sessions.

[...] To me this means that I am able to deliver to you information concerning the nature of reality which you can then pass on, and apply.

(“No, except that I’d like to know what we’re going to do now in the sessions.”)

[...] With my wider viewpoint however I include perception in other realities. [...]

[...] For what would seem to you to be eons, according to your time scale, men were in the dreaming state far more than they were in the waking one. [...]

These ancient dreams were shared to some extent by each consciousness that was embarked upon the earthly venture, so that creatures and environment together formed great environmental realities. [...]

(8:58.) During this period, incidentally, mental activity of the highest, most original variety was the strongest dream characteristic, and the knowledge [man] gained was imprinted upon the physical brain: what is now completely unconscious activity involving the functions of the body, its relationship with the environment, its balance and temperature, its constant inner alterations. [...]

[...] Each individual of whatever species, and each consciousness, whatever its degree, automatically seeks to enhance the quality of life itself—not only for itself but for all of reality as well.

Some of the material in the last chapter should help to explain the reasons for frameworks in which violence is built-in, so to speak, and indeed becomes a challenging context through which reality is perceived. [...]

[...] At any point that an individual realizes his point of power in the present, he will not need a barrier to test himself against, or to focus him in what he thinks of as the proper direction.

[...] She joked now that she must use it as “a lifeline between realities.” [...]

A person may choose a great talent instead, through which he or she will perceive reality and concentrate all experience. [...]

[...] Those opportunities involved emotional understanding, a very close and emotional contact with a particular belief system, and a firsthand view of a certain kind of reality structure. [...]

[...] What were its benefits as well as its unfortunate aspects? [...]

Now to some extent each person tests the nature of reality in each life for himself or herself, and also for the entire generation. [...]

[...] Now you go out and see what you can do to change it.” [...]

(We also speculated that Seth might refer to what may be called the “Jonestown Affair,” or something like it. This had erupted in a mass suicide, involving over 400 Americans, in the community of Jonestown in what was formerly British Guyana, in South America. [...]

[...] We expect to receive the copyedited Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality by December 7, and this is to keep us occupied until Christmas. [...]

Your religious leaders have freedom to say what they want to, and they have all of technology’s advances in communications at their service. [...]

[...] Those that followed him pretended to themselves not to know what they were doing. [...]

The individual body is what it is because it exists in the context of others like it. [...]

Man’s physical world, with all of its civilizations and cultural aspects, and even with its technologies and sciences, basically represents the species’ innate drive to communicate, to move outward, to create, and to objectify sensed inner realities. [...]

[...] At biological levels the body often produces its own “preventative medicine,” or “inoculations,” by seeking out, for example, new or foreign substances in its environment [that are] due to nature, science or technology; it assimilates such properties in small doses, coming down with an “illness” which, left alone, would soon vanish as the body utilized what it could [of it], or socialized “a seeming invader.”

[...] The body is doing what it is supposed to do. [...]

[...] In the meantime you had learned so much, and so had he, but he still interpreted what he learned in the line of those old beliefs. He now realizes he has what he wanted—a creative framework in which to exist, with some financial independence. But he is now faced with body beliefs that have been built up as a result of the previous conflicts, and those are what you have to combat.

There was some resentment against you, for he could not accept what he considered as a sacrifice on your part in jobs throughout your life, and yet he was angry because you would not do, he thought, what he had done—try to do your creative best, and then force the marketplace to take it. [...]

When you found what those consequences were, for Ruburt at least, you wanted no part of them. But in the old contract you had psychically made in this life, either of you would have done anything he felt, to paint and write and make the world accept what you did and pay for it.

[...] Your part in Personal Reality has been important, however, and the notes particularly, as they contribute. [...]

(We’ve been having but one session a week while I’ve been typing the finished manuscript for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] We had no idea what the session might be about, since we’d posed no questions for Seth. [...]

[...] You have had what amounts to local gods, even though one name may be used, so that Carter can say “We all worship the same God.”

[...] Indeed, their holy sense of righteousness rises in proportion to the harm they have perpetrated against God’s enemy, no matter who or what this might be.

[...] We also wondered what Seth would have to say about the Cosmopolitan affair, and last night’s unscheduled session, witnessed by John Bradley.

[...] Dream images are often images which cannot be created for various reasons within physical reality at any particular time. [...]

[...] The voice effects carry him along so that he gives no attention, or very little attention, to what I am saying, and therefore we usually get a good reception in terms of clear communication.

[...] The experience is valuable to Ruburt in that he sees that no invasion is involved; and that when his emotions are stilled there is still an emotional reality, as my emotions come to the foreground.

[...] Part of the difficulty in what Ruburt thinks of as the development of his abilities, or the more frequent insertion of inspirational work of his own, is the very fact that he feels so responsible to so thusly perform. [...] “What do I like to do? What do I feel like doing? What makes me feel good?” Those questions are far more pertinent. [...]

Remember what I told you some time ago, though you have made excellent strides in that regard, apropos natural man, in contrast to what you may think you should (underlined) be doing, in terms of any idealized self with characteristics that are not your own. [...]

[...] I remarked to Jane today, then, that what we need is more insight into the phenomenon of such thinking itself—for after all, that approach to life’s challenges has led to our problems, it seems to me. [...]

(10:20.) Our books and sessions are primarily a celebration of life, not a justification of it, or an excuse or apology for the conditions of physical reality. [...]

[...] Energy is active, positive, propelled by what can almost be called an instantaneous pleasure with itself and its characteristics.

[...] The great — the greatest creative force — that force that is the origin for all physical life — did not suddenly appear once in some distant past, sparking the birth of your reality, endowing it with an energy that could only then run down, or dissipate. [...]

[...] “When they see what they regard as a true danger to their homeland, they do something about it, no matter what others may think.” [...]

As far as you are personally concerned, Joseph, you became alarmed by what seemed to you to be certain implications when you carried Ruburt in the bathroom. [...]

[...] Again, the body knows what it is doing. [...]

Your person-to-person encounters with reality have been unusually supportive of late: Adams, Frank, your new friends the Germans, and even your encounter with the photographer. [...]

[...] You were what is called a “chief hunter.” [...]

[...] And in the meantime you had experiences in other realities. [...]

[...] You ended up around what is now Rochester, New York. [...]

[...] You know what you are afraid of? [...]

The units obviously are within the reality of all cells. [...]

[...] Now these intensities of EE, forming the units, end up by transforming all available space into what they are. [...]

[...] Now these units, while appearing within your system, may also have another reality outside of it, propelling the emotional energy units through the world of matter entirely.

[...] She didn’t know why she couldn’t say it while in trance, since she knows the word and what it stands for, etc.)

This is what I referred to, and the room is what I was thinking of as an apartment, in that it was private.

When the inverted time system is understood for what it is, then the individual is in contact simultaneously with the experience gained in the so-called past, and is also able to take advantage of events which have not yet occurred within your present. [...]

[...] As a rule our self two can indeed view what may happen in self one’s future. [...]

[...] Any probability is a reality whether or not it occurs within your own system, and I shall add to that early mention.

You are being given directions and suggestions. (Pause.) You are of course amiable to inner visual stimuli, and used to interpreting reality in highly specialized forms, through visual data.

The paintings you saw are realities, already created by you in other dimensions, and existing as potential forms in this dimension.

[...] What he is doing now is correct. [...]

[...] The paintings have come from other portions of your personality, who know better than you what you can do. [...]

[...] The emotional reaches of his subjective life, then, leapt far beyond what you think of as private experience. [...]

[...] Direct cognition is dependent upon a lover’s kind of identification, where what is known is known. [...]

[...] Through your words their reality is amplified, in the same way that man’s emotions once found amplification through the physical elements.

Again, you speak for yourselves; yet in doing so you speak a language that is not yours alone, but the result of inner communications too swift for you to follow, involving corporal and subjective realities alike. [...]

[...] One of the reasons why we have not gone into them as yet is that you have tuned into other realities, and the realities must be explained before your experiments can be discussed.

[...] He knows what he is doing. [...]

[...] To you physical objects would seem so far separated in space that you would lose your way, and not perceive realities as they there existed at all.

[...] Just before she sat down she was beginning to feel “strained,” as though she had to reach for what she was saying. [...]
