A Blundering Trance
Two Fugitives from the Dream World

[...] Emotion ‘solidified’ is something else again and is perhaps a framework of other worlds. [...]

In other words, the mental enzymes not only produce action in the material world, but they become the action. [...]

[...] If I speak in analogies and images, it is because I must relate with the world that is familiar to you.

I welcome back our world traveler, and when you are a space and time traveler as well, then I shall also welcome you back. You all travel far beyond the confines of the world that you think you know, and you waken in the morning with little memory of where you have been. [...]

[...] You must learn, however, to forget the world that you know physically. [...]

For centuries, priests of one kind or another have been put in charge of “reading God’s messages,” and interpreting them to the rest of mankind, just as in later times the scientists have been put in the position of interpreting man’s own world to him—in terms quite as esoteric as those of any religion. [...] Science on the other hand, constantly questions, and is so objectively occupied that the subjective world is entirely beyond its realm.

The next, psychic family dream represented an actual reunion of some Sumari family members, so that Ruburt would not feel so alone, but realize he did indeed have rich emotional connections with others, at other levels, and that he was part of a family of creative initiators, full of energy and vigor, who could go out into the world or cheerfully forget it if they chose.

[...] It not only contains and conveys information, but it also reacts to information from the physical and cultural worlds.

[...] Events can trigger genetic activity—not simply through, say, chemical reactions, but through individual and mass beliefs about the safety or lack of it in the world at large.

[...] Why isn’t there at least one artist in all of the world painting today whose ability equals Rembrandt’s, and who uses that great gift to evoke the depths of compassion for the human condition as Rembrandt did? [...]

Our many excellent “modern” painters inevitably work within a different world ambience. [...]

[...] I will tell you the reasons later, but regardless of his flamboyance and seeming disregard, he needs space division of certain activities, and privacy from the outside world. He deals with the outside world in a very constructive manner, provided that a division is set up between him and it so that it cannot leak through. [...]

Now, people who believe strongly in your organized religions are used to thinking in terms of an inner world. [...]

First of all personally: You, Joseph, have acquired an unjustified sense of inferiority as far as not only your dealings with your parents are concerned, but also concerning your dealings with the outside world; and even, for what unknown reason, with your dealings with your own talent.

[...] Needless to say these problems have to do with you not at all, really, but with your present parents’ particular distorted way of looking at the outside world. [...]

[...] We should explore each world with common sense and courage. [...]

And so the exterior world emerges from the interior one even as this physical book materialized from the inner reality of inspiration, creativity and dreams.

[...] He must see himself as a force in the world.

[...] Disastrous events thought to originate in a god’s wrath could at least be understood in that context, but many of you live in a subjective world in which the events of your lives appear to have no particular reason — or indeed sometimes seem to happen in direct opposition to your wishes….

[...] The world wasn’t going to pass any sort of judgment if she didn’t choose to deal with the sick.

[...] Through their cooperation your entire world sustains its reality, substance, life, and form. [...]

[...] And the session had gone into the question I’d noted yesterday at the end of the session, about the roles of health and disease in our world. [...]

There would be no psychological avenues to connect my world and yours. [...] He would never have acknowledged the original impulse to speak for me, and my voice would have been unheard in your world.

[...] The mass world is formed as the result of individual impulses. [...]

[...] So, of course, your mass world is also affected. [...]

[...] If you want to “discover” how things work, then your journey must eventually lead you into the dimensions that lie within the world you know.

[...] More, what does it have to do with the practical world? [...]

[...] 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.”

[...] The young child dreaming of its own future counterpart, for example, attains a kind of psychological projection into the future of its world. [...]

[...] They are responsible for the inventiveness and creativity of the species, even bringing new comprehensions that can be used to bear upon the life of the physical world.

Children’s dreams activate inner psychological mechanisms, and at a time when their age makes extensive physical knowledge of their world impossible. [...]

[...] The dream world, then, develops faster than physical experience. [...]

“The responsibility for your life and your world is indeed yours. [...] The world is what you are. [...]

[...] … I speak to you because yours is the opportunity [to better world conditions] and yours is the time. Do not fall into the old ways that will lead you precisely into the world that you fear.

[...] Pretend, then, that you possessed within yourself the knowledge of all the world’s masterpieces in sculpture and art, that they pulsed as realities within you, but that you had no physical apparatus, no knowledge of how to achieve them, that there was neither rock nor pigment nor source of any of these, and you ached with the yearning to produce them. [...]

After the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., my students in class were quite upset, and like many people throughout the country and probably the world, we began to discuss the meaning of violence. [...]

[...] Before such communications, the normal world of social concourse and natural phenomena always provided a great backdrop, in which the dreams of the night before would speak their messages—and the exterior circumstances then become recognizable for inner insights.

Nuclear energy in fact, then, comes as a dream symbol, and emerges into the world as something to be dealt with.

Fundamentalists think of nuclear power as a force that God might use, say, to destroy the world. [...]

There was a tie-in, and it’s that the Christ drama happened as a result of man’s dream, at least, of achieving brotherhood—a quiet, secure sense of consciousness, and a morality that would sustain him in the physical world.

[...] Here in this analogy, the entire earthly personality could be compared to the world. [...]

[...] That feeling of freedom is fantastic,” she said, then tried an analogy: “I’m as free as a great runner who breaks a world record when her chest hits the tape….”

I think it very likely that aborted fetuses and those infants who die early in “life” — say within a few months after birth, especially — never intended to stay long within camouflage (physical) reality to begin with; the consciousnesses within those small human structures came just to momentarily sample our world of matter, whether from inside the womb or out of it. [...]

[...] They would be a commonplace in the animal world, for instance; witness the quick deaths of certain newborn kittens in a litter (as Jane and I have); or consider the puppy in an animal shelter, or pound, certain to be put to death in a few days if no one gives it a home. [...]

[...] It maintains contact awareness and the ability to manipulate itself in two completely different worlds, so to speak, one in which it meets little resistance growing upward, and one composed of much heavier elements into which it must grow downward. Man needs artificial methods for example to operate effectively on land or in water, but the so-called unconscious tree manages very nicely in two worlds as diverse certainly as land and water, and makes himself a part of each. [...]

The confident inner self will let the ego manipulate in the physical world, but will not allow it to become fiercely overprotective. [...] Your particular ego’s function is to show this work to the world as you know it. [...]

[...] It is a tree’s contact with the outer world, the tree’s interpreter, and to some degree the tree’s companion.

[...] As a result it stiffens and you have, my well-meaning friend, the cold detachment with which you have faced the world. [...]

[...] Regarding the individual constructions of the world of matter, each with its own set of atoms and molecules, Seth said that these individual worlds are not as much alike as one might think, even though there is telepathic agreement on such things as the placement of objects in space, etc. [...]

(Seth told Bill and Peggy, in connection with the subconscious construction of their individual worlds, that they really lived in many worlds at once. [...]

(During his discussion on the creation of matter, Seth used the coffee table and a wineglass in making his points about how each of us creates his own world, with its own atoms and molecules. [...]

(Seth said the material on individual constructions of the world of matter can be verified mathematically.

The responsibility for your life and your world is indeed yours. [...] The world is what you want as individuals and as races. The world is what you are. You look at the state of the world and you find the physical materialization of the inner selves which have formed it. [...]

[...] The associative processes of the world, with their literally infinite capacities for creative constructs, are there available. Your world is first of all a mental one. [...]

All of that is known in Framework 2. There, personal and world associations form their own kinds of patterns. [...]

[...] Your mental world becomes freer. [...]

[...] It brings forth the world of your experience in that world, and so it is your source also.

[...] From it flow all of the known facts of your world. [...]

[...] At the same time you were also tainted by those beliefs, and seemed to see evidence for them whenever you looked into your selves, or outward to the world of your fellows. [...]

(10:28.) In Ruburt’s case such considerations make him feel set against the world, where actually that social world has rather agreeably enough allowed you room and a certain platform on its stage, through your readership. [...]

[...] Forget such things as impressing the authorities so that they somehow will change the world. [...]

[...] Good ideas are going out into the world. [...]
