Seth Quotes

If you examine your thoughts for five minutes

at various times during the day

for several times a month,

you will indeed receive

a correct impression of the kind of life

you have so far arranged for yourself

in the next existence.

If you are not pleased with what you discover,

then you had better begin changing

the nature of your thoughts and feelings.

-Seth Speaks, The Eternal Validity of the Soul (1)

Your eye knows it sees,

though it cannot see itself

except through the use of reflection.

In the same way the world as you see

it is a reflection of what you are,

a reflection not in glass

but in three dimensional reality.

You project your thoughts, feelings, and expectations outward,

then you perceive them as the outside reality.

-Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality (2)

Some feelings and thoughts are translated

into structures that you call objects; these exist,

in your terms, in a medium you call space.

Others are translated instead

into psychological structures called events,

that seem to exist in a medium you call time.

Space and time are both root assumptions,

which simply means that man accepts both,

and assumes that his reality is rooted

in a series of moments and a dimension of space.

So your inner experience is translated in those terms.

-Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality (2)

You create your own reality.

There is no other rule.

Knowing this is the secret of creativity.

I have spoken of "you," yet this must not be confused with

the "you" that you often think you are — the ego alone,

for the ego is only a portion of You;

it is that expert part of your personality that

deals directly with the contents of your conscious mind,

and is concerned most directly with

the material portions of your experience. The

ego is a very specialized portion of your greater identity.

It is a portion of you that arises to deal directly

with the life that the larger You is living.

-Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality (2)

Your bodies exist in other terms than you usally suppose.

You perceive them as objects, with bulk, composed of bone and flesh.

They also have "structures" of sound, light,

and electromagnetic properties that you do not perceive.

These are all connected with the physical image that you know.

Any physical disabilities will show themselves in these other "structures" initially.

The sound, light, and electromagnetic patterns give strength and vitality

 to the physical form that you recognize.

They are more mobile than the physical body,

and even more susceptible to the changing pattern

of your own thought and emotion.

-Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality (2)

As most of you know,

the atoms that compose our cells,

as well as the cells themselves,

constantly die and are replaced.

The stuff of the internal organs changes

and yet they always retain their form.

Their identity is intact.

So is your own identity secure

in the midst of all these births and deaths

of which your conscious self is unaware.

-Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality (2)

When you believe that you are good,

your body functions well.

I am sure that many of you will say,

"I try constantly to be good,

yet I am in miserable health,

so how can that be?"

If you examine your own beliefs

the answer will be apparent:

You try to be so good precisely because

you believe you are so bad and unworthy.

-Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality (2)

In some ways, the rhythm of birth and death

is like a breath taken and exhaled.

Feel your own breath as it comes and goes.

You are not it, yet it comes into you and leaves you,

and without its continuous flow

you could not physically exist.

Just so your lives go in and out of you —

you and yet not you.

So the lives you have lived are not you,

while they are of you.

As your breath leaves you and becomes part of the world,

free, so do your lives leave you

and continue to exist in your terms.

-Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality (2)

Practically speaking,

you do indeed form the appearance that reality

takes through your conscious beliefs.

Those beliefs are used as screening and directing agents,

separating certain nonphysical probable events from others,

and bringing them into three-dimensional actuality.

-Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality (2)

"Love your neighbor as yourself." Turn this around

and say, "Love yourself as you love your neighbor,"

for often you will recognize the goodness in another

and ignore it in yourself...

You must first love yourself before you love another.

By accepting yourself and joyfully being what you are,

you fulfill your own abilities,

and your simple presence can make others happy.

You cannot hate yourself and love anyone else.

It is impossible... When you love others,

you grant them their innate freedom

and do not cravenly insist that they always attend you.

There are no divisions to love.

-Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality (2)

There is no magic in hypnosis.

Each of you utilize it constantly...

Hypnosis, again, is merely

a state of concentrated attention,

in which you focus upon beliefs..

Natural hypnosis

is the acquiescence of

the unconscious to conscious belief.

For that time desire and belief will be one.

There will be no conflict..

-Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality (2)

Atoms can move in more directions than one at once. You only perceive scientifically the probable motion you are interested in.

The potentials of the true self are so multidimensional that they cannot be expressed in one space or time. 

"you" are aware of only one small probable portion of yourself - and this portion you protect as your identity.

Your greater identity is aware of its probable existences, you are in matter and out of it at the same time - in time and out of it.

-Seth, The "Unknown" Reality Vol I (3)

If you are alert and curious while dreaming,

then you can catch yourself

in act of creating a dream's past and future at once.

-Seth, The "Unknown" Reality Vol II (4)

We will trust that our creativity

will find its own way, and

if there are nightmares we will waken from them.

We will even learn from them.

We will dare to push aside

the dimensions of being into those realms

in which only the gods have gone before – and

through our utter vulnerability to experience,

discover the divinity that

gives our humanity its meaning.

-Seth, The "Unknown" Reality Vol II (4)

Some people structure their lives around their children,

others around a career,

or pleasure, or even pain.

Again, these are simply certain focuses that you choose,

that direct your experience.

You can add other focuses

while still retaining your own identity.

-Seth, The "Unknown" Reality Vol II (4)

You are so a part of the world that

your slightest action contributes to its reality.

Your breath changes the atmosphere.

Your encounters with others alter the fabrics of their lives,

and the lives of those who come in contact with them..

Your own existence is implied therefore in everyone else's

and theirs is implied in yours...

Nature is luxurious and abundant in its expressions.

The greater reality from which nature springs

is even more abundant, and within that multidimensional experience

no individual is ignored, forgotten, dismissed, lost, or forsaken.

-Seth, The Nature of Psyche (5)

On any given day the events of your private lives fit

within the larger pattern of world events, in which they have their context..

You posses a unique kind of consciousness,

in which each individual has a hand in the overall formation of a world reality,

and you are participating at a level of existence

in which you are learning how to transform the imaginative realm of probabilities

into a more or less specific, physically experienced world.

In a way you choose from an infinite, endless, uncomputable number of ideas,

and sculpt these into the physical fragments

that compose normal experience.

You do this in such a way that the timeless events are experienced in time,

and so that they mix and merge to conform to the dimensions of your reality.

-Seth, The Individual and Nature of Mass Events (6)

Impulses are the language of the psyche.

Impulses arise in a natural, spontaneous, constructive re-sponse

to the abilities, potentials, and needs of the personality.

Impulses provide life's guide to action.

Impulses take not only people's best interest into consideration,

but those of all other species.

Your impulses are your closest communication with your inner self.

You were born because you had the impulse to be.

The universe exists because it had the impulse to be.

No consciousness simply reacts to stimuli,

but has its own impulse toward growth and value fulfillment.

You have every right to question your impulses,

 to choose among them, to assess them, but you must be aware of them, acknowledge their existence,

for they will lead you to your own true nature.

Begin to celebrate your own beings,

to look to your own impulses as being

the natural connectors between the physical and the nonphysical self.

Allow your impulses some freedom..

those impulses, again, connect you with the original impulse from

which all life emerges.

-Seth, The Individual and Nature of Mass Events (6)

The inner ego is fully conscious.

It is a portion of you, however, that deals with the formation of events.

Each of you, with your beliefs and intents, tell the inner ego

which of an infinite number of probable events you want to encounter.

The inner ego does the actual work that brings about

the events you have decided upon.

"In very simple terms, if you want to pick up a book,

and then do so, you experience that event consciously,

though you are quite unaware of all of the inner events

that occurred to bring the motion about.

 The inner ego directs those activities."

"An event involving a job change concerns

motion on the part of many people,

and implies a network of communication on

the part of all of the inner egos involved."

The inner ego does not exist in time as you do.

The inner ego has access, again, to a much vaster amount of knowledge.

It is aware not only of its own private position, as you are of yours,

 but it is also familiar with the mass events of its reality.

It is intimately involved in the creation of your own private experience.

-Seth, The Individual and Nature of Mass Events (6)

Consciousness and matter and energy are one, but

consciousness initiates the transformation of energy into matter. 

Units of Consciousness can also operate as "particles" or as "waves."

When CU's operate as particles, in your terms, they build up a continuity in time. They take on the characteristics of particularity. They identify themselves by the establishment of specific boundaries

CU's when it operates as a wave can be in all places at the same time. It becomes beside the point, then to say that when in its purest form a unit of consciousness is precognitive, or clairvoyant, since it has the capacity to be in all places and all times simultaneously.

These CU's can operate as separate entities, 

as identities, or they can flow together in

a vast, harmonious wave of activity, as a force. 

Actually, units of consciousness operate in both ways all of the time.

And that each portion of consciousness carries within

it indelibly the knowledge of the whole.

And each smallest portion of consciousness can uniquely create,

bring into being, eccentric versions of All That Is.

-Seth, Dreams, "Evolution", and Value fulfillment Vol 1 (7)

Reasoning is the result of mental or psychic processes functioning in a space-time context, and in a particular fashion. 

To some extent, then, reasoning—again, as you are familiar with it is the result of a lack of available knowledge. 

You try to "reason things out," 

because the answer is not in front of you. 

If it were, you would "know," and hence have no need to question.

The reasoning mind is a uniquely human and physical phenomenon. 

It depends upon conscious thinking, problem-solving methods, 

and it is a natural human blossoming, 

a spectacular mental development in its own framework of activity.

Your technology is one of the results of that reasoning mind. That "reasoning" is necessary, however, 

because of the lack of a larger, immediate field of knowledge.

Thoughts are mental activity,

scaled to time and space terms 

so that they are like mental edifices built to certain dimensions only. 

Your thoughts make you human.

-Seth, Dreams, "Evolution" and Value Fulfillment Vol 1 (7)

The k-n-o-w-e-r 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. 

That protection always couches your existence.

It means that you live "in a state of grace."

You can be unaware of that state.

You can deny it or refuse it, but you are within it regardless.

It forms the very fabric of your individual beings.

Value fulfillment means that each individual, each entity,

of whatever nature, spontaneously, automatically seeks

those conditions that are suited to its own fulfillment,

and to the fulfillment of others.

-Seth, Dreams, "Evolution", Value Fulfillment Vol II (8)

The natural person is indeed the magical person.

True creativity comes from

enjoying the moments, which then fulfill themselves,

and a part of the creative process is indeed

the art of relaxation, the letting go,

for that triggers magical activity.

The magical approach takes it for granted,.. that

the life of any individual will fulfill itself,

will develop and mature,

that the environment and the individual

are uniquely suited and work together.

The natural person is to be found, now, not in the past or in the present, but beneath layers and layers of official beliefs, so you are dealing with an archaeology of beliefs

to find the person who creates beliefs to begin with.

-Seth, The Magical Approach (9)

Each person is a vital, 

conscious portion of the universe. 

Each person, simply by being, fits into the universe 

and into universal purposes in a way no one else can. 

Each person's existence sends 

its own ripples throughout time.

The universe is conscious

at every conceivable point of itself.

Each being is an individualized segment of the universe; then, in human terms, each person is a beloved individual, formed with infinite care and love,

uniquely gifted with a life like no other.

-Seth, The Way Toward Health (10)

In most cases, even the most severe illnesses

or complicated living conditions and relationships 

are caused by an attempt to grow, develop or expand

in the face of difficulties that appear to be 

unsurmountable to one degree or another.

An individual will often be striving for some goal 

that appears blocked, and hence he or she uses

all available energy and strength

to circumnavigate the blockage. 

The blockage is usually a belief 

which needs to be understood or removed 

rather than bypassed.

-Seth, The Way Toward Health (10)

Spontaneity knows its own order. Nothing is more highly organized than the physical body that spontaneously grows all of its own parts.

The construction of your body and the construction

of a world (pause) are produced with the greatest combination of order and spontaneity.

Your very physical existence itself is dependent upon the smooth functioning of many spontaneous processes. Your thinking, breathing, and motion are all guided by activities that are largely unconscious — at least from the standpoint of what you usually think of as the conscious mind.

As your life is provided for you, so to speak, by these spontaneous processes, the life of the universe is provided in the same fashion. 

Spontaneity, however, represents the spirit of life itself, and it is the basis for the will to live,

and for those impulses that stimulate action, motion, and discovery.

True discipline is the result of true spontaneity.

Value fulfillment of each and every element in life relies upon those spontaneous processes, and at their source is the basic affirmative love and acceptance of the self, the universe, and life's conditions.

If you trust your own spontaneity, then that will

to be is joyfully released and expressed through all of your activities

-Seth, The Way Toward Health (10)

Arthur Schopenhauer Quotes

The universe is a dream dreamed by a single dreamer
where all the dream characters dream too.

The life of every individual is really always a tragedy,
but gone through in detail, 
it has the character of a comedy.

We will gradually become indifferent 
to what goes on in the minds of other people 
when we acquire a knowledge of the superficial nature of their thoughts, 
the narrowness of their views and
of the number of their errors. 
Whoever attaches a lot of value to the opinions of others pays them too much honor.

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; 
and if he does not love solitude, 
he will not love freedom; 
for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.

Fun is the cash coin of happiness;
everything else is credit cards.

All truth passes through three stages. 
First, it is ridiculed. 
Second, it is violently opposed. 
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

A human being is the only animal that causes pain to others,
not having any other purpose.

Each day is a little life: 
every waking and rising a little birth, 
every fresh morning a little youth, 
every going to rest and sleep a little death.

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision 
for the limits of the world.

Change alone is eternal,
perpetual,
immortal.

After your death you will be 
what you were before your birth.

The assumption that animals are without rights 
and the illusion that our treatment of them 
has no moral significance 
is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. 
Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.

Truth that has been merely learned 
is like an artificial limb, a false tooth, a waxen nose; 
at best, like a nose made out of another’s flesh; 
it adheres to us only because it is put on. 
But truth acquired by thinking of our own is like a natural limb; 
it alone really belongs to us. 
This is the fundamental difference between 
the thinker and the mere man of learning.

The task is,
not so much to see what no one has seen yet;
but to think what nobody has thought yet,
about that which everybody sees.

Don't tell your friend
what your enemy should not know.

Sorrow is the beginning of philosophy.

He who does not like being alone,
does not love freedom.

Every possession and every happiness 
is but lent by chance for an uncertain time, 
and may therefore be demanded back the next hour.

Every nation ridicules other nations,
and all are right.

Every love is based on sexual instinct.

Just remember, 
once you;re over the hill 
you begin to pick up speed.

The majority of men.. are not capable of thinking,
but only of believing, and..
are not accessible to reason,
but only to authority.

It is difficult to find happiness within oneself,
but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.

Genius and madness have something in common:
both live in a world that is different from
that which exists for everyone else.

Without books the development of civilization 
would have been impossible. 
They are the engines of change, 
windows on the world, 
"Lighthouses" as the poet said 
"erected in the sea of time." 
They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind, 
Books are humanity in print.

We seldom think of what we have 
but always of what we lack.
Therefore, rather than grateful,
we are bitter.

Nature shows that with the growth of intelligence 
comes increased capacity for pain,
and it is only with the highest degree of intelligence
that suffering reaches its supreme point.

If anybody spends almost the whole day in reading..
he gradually loses the capacity for thinking...
This is the case with many learned persons;
they have read themselves stupid.

I have not yet spoken my last word about women. 
I believe that if a woman succeeds 
in withdrawing from the mass, 
or rather raising herself from above the mass, 
she grows ceaselessly and more than a man.

Mostly it is loss which teaches us 
about the worth of things.

Every parting gives a foretaste of death,
every reunion a hint of the resurrection.

A sense of humour is the only divine quality of man.

To live alone is the fate of all great souls.

In the world there is no study beneficial 
and as elevating as that of The Upanishads. 
It has been the solace of my life,
it will be the solace of my death.

There is not a grain of dust,
not an atom that can become nothing,
yet man believes that death 
is the annihilation of his being.

Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations
with other people.

To overcome difficulties is to 
experience the full delight of existence.

Materialism is the philosophy of the subject 
who forgets to take account of himself.

Always to see the general in the particular
is the very foundation of genius.

Compassion for animals is intimately associated 
with goodness of character, 
and it may be confidently asserted that 
he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.

Rumi Quotes

The sooner you wake up, 
and become aware, 
the less time you waste 
climbing the ladder of ambition.

Every leaf that grows will tell you:
What you sow will bear fruit, 
so if you have any sense my friend, 
don't plant anything but Love.

When you do things
from your soul,
you feel a river moving in you,
a joy.

Let yourself be
silently drawn
by the stronger pull
of what you really love.

I once had a thousand desires.
But in my one desire to know you
all else melted away.

Wherever you stand,
be the Soul of that place.

Look past your thoughts,
so you may
drink the pure nectar of This Moment.

Don't be satisfied with stories,
how things have gone with others.
Unfold your own myth.

Yesterday I was clever,
so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise,
so I am changing myself.

Silence is the language of God,
all else is poor translation.

Look for the answer inside your question.

Love said to me, 
there is nothing that is not me.
be silent.

Within tears, find hidden laughter. 
Seek treasures amid ruins, 
sincere one.

Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. 
Cleverness is mere opinion. 
Bewilderment brings intuitive knowledge.

Why struggle to open a door between us
when the whole wall is an illusion.

Your heart knows the way.
Run in that direction.

It's your road, and yours alone. 
Others may walk it with you,
but no one can walt it for you.

When I run after what I think I want,
my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety;
if I sit in my own place of patience,
what I need flows to me, and without pain.
From this I understand that what I want also wants me,
is looking for me and attracting me.
There is a great secret here for anyone who can grap it.

The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.

Do not feel lonely.
The entire universe is inside you.

There is a way of breathing that''s a shame and 
a suffocation and there's another way of expiring, 
a love breath, that lets you open infinitely.

Dance, as though as no one is watching.
Love, as though you've never been hurt before.
Sing, as though no one can hear you.
Live, as though heaven is on earth.

Yesterday I was clever,
so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise,
so I am changing myself.

I asked,
"Why have I received only this?"
A voice replied,
Only this will lead you to that!

When I run after what I think I want,
my days are furnace of stress and anxiety;
if I sit in my own place of patience,
what I need flows to me, and without pain.

Love is the bridge
between you and everything.

The sooner you wake up, 
and become aware, 
the less time you waste 
climbing the ladder of ambition.

Every leaf that grows will tell you:
What you sow will bear fruit, 
so if you have any sense my friend, 
don't plant anything but Love.

Siddharameshwar Maharaj Quotes

Do not get involved in the world 
even with the good intentions to help others, 
because as soon as you deviate from your own Being, 
you will fall into the trap.

What is the remedy for Illusion? 
Only one whose intellect is clear 
and who recognizes that the Illusion and Brahman 
are distinctly separate, as if seen in a mirror, 
alone can tell you the remedy. 
For such people, to cross over Illusion is 
as easy as walking on a straight footpath. 
In order to do this, 
the attraction towards sense objects must be totally gone.

There is no other appearance of anything
but the One, everywhere.
With this experience,
the knot of ego is loosened,
the hidden bondage of the body is slackened.

Story:What is inside of you?

A conversation between Wayne Dyer and his student…

What’s Inside?
“‘If I were to squeeze this orange as hard as I could, what would come out?’ I asked him.
He looked at me like I was a little crazy and said, ‘Juice, of course.’
‘Do you think apple juice could come out of it?’
‘No!’ he laughed.
‘What about grapefruit juice?’
‘No!’
‘What would come out of it?’
‘Orange juice, of course.’
‘Why? Why when you squeeze an orange does orange juice come out?’
He may have been getting a little exasperated with me at this point.
‘Well, it’s an orange and that’s what’s inside.”
I nodded.

‘Let’s assume that this orange isn’t an orange, but it’s you. And someone squeezes you, puts pressure on you, says something you don’t like, offends you. And out of you comes anger, hatred, bitterness, fear. Why?

The answer, as our young friend has told us, is” because that’s what’s inside. It’s one of the great lessons of life. What comes out when life squeezes you? When someone hurts or offends you?

If anger, pain and fear come out of you, it’s because that’s what’s inside.

It doesn’t matter who does the squeezing: your mother, your brother, your children, your boss, the government. If someone says something about you that you don’t like, what comes out of you is what’s inside. And what’s inside is up to you, it’s your choice.
When someone puts the pressure on you and out of you comes anything other than love, it’s because that’s what you’ve allowed to be inside.
Once you take away all those negative things you don’t want in your life and replace them with love, you’ll find yourself living a highly functioning life.”…

~ Squeeze out Love and Compassion…Love

Albert Einstein Letters to his Daughter

In the late 1980s, Lieserl, the daughter of the famous genius, donated 1,400 letters, written by Einstein, to the Hebrew University, with orders not to publish their contents until two decades after his death. This is one of them, for Lieserl Einstein.

…”When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.

I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.

There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us.

This universal force is LOVE.

When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force.

Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it.

Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others.

Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals.

For love we live and die.

Love is God and God is Love.

This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.

To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation.

If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.

After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy…

If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.

Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.

However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.

When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life.

I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart, which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it’s too late to apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer! “.

Your father Albert Einstein

The "Unknown" Reality - Seth, Jane Roberts

How can my psyche exist in more than one time at once?

A young man was here last evening. He possesses great mastery of the guitar. As he played, it was obvious that any given composition "grew" from the first note, and had always been latent within it. An infinite number of other "alternative" compositions were also latent within the same note, however, but not played last night. They were quite as legitimate as compositions that were played. They were, in fact, inaudibly a part of each heard melody, and those unheard variations added silent structure and pacing to the physically actualized music.

Following this analogy, in the same way each psyche contains within it infinite notes, and each note is capable of its own endless creative variations. You follow one melody of yourself, and for some reason you seem to think that the true, full orchestra of yourself will somehow drown you out.

When I speak in terms of counterparts, then, or of reincarnational selves and probable selves, I am saying that in the true symphony of your being you are violins, oboes, cymbals, harps - in other words, you are living instrument through which you play yourself. You are not an instrument upon which you are played. You are the composer and the symphony. You play ballads, classical pieces, lyrics, operas. One creative performance does not contradict the others.

Some people structure their lives around their children, others around a career, or pleasure, or even pain. Again, these are simply certain focuses that you choose, that direct your experience. You can add other focuses while still retaining your own identity - indeed, enriching it.

To some degree you feel the same way when you encounter the concept of probable selves, or of counterparts. It is as though you had an unlimited bank of abilities and characteristics from which to draw, and yet were afraid of doing so - fearing that any addition could make you less instead of more. 

Now in music the pauses are as important as the sounds. In fact, they serve to highlight the sounds, to frame them. The sounds are significant because of their placement within the pauses or silences. So the portions of your psyche that you recognize as yourself are significant and intimate and real, because of the inner pauses or silences that are not actualized, but are a part of your greater being.

The creativity of the psyche means that no one world or experience could ever contain it. Therefore, does it create the dimensions in which it then has its experiences.

Each portion, by whatever name, contains within it the latent potentials of the whole. If the unknown reality exists, it is because you play one melody over and over and so identify yourself, while closing out, consciously at least, all of the other possible variations that you could add to that tune.

The particular variations that one person might play are endless. You cannot consciously begin to alter the framework of your life, however, unless you realize first of all that you form it. The melody is your own. It is not inevitable, nor is it the only tune that you can play. 

To some extent you can actualize portions of your own unknown reality, and draw them into the experienced area of your life.


You are the unknown reality, to the extent that you do not recognize, realize, or experience the many facets of your own being. As always, I say that the answers lie within yourself, not in the exterior world.

Do not overlay the personal daily aspects of your life with preconceived ideas about who you are, what you are, where you are, why you are. Become aware of the original nature of any given moment as it exists for you. 


Forget what you have been told about time and space. Refuse to accept ideas that limit the dimensions of your own natural being. Again, the unknown reality is what you are.

Technique:Probable Events..Probable Selves..Probable Existences..Multidimensional Self

Take any remembered scene from your own past. Experience it as clearly as possible imaginatively, but with the idea of its probable extensions. Sometime, immediately or after a few tries, a particular portion of the scene will become gray or shadowy. It is not a part of the past that you know, but an intersection point where that past served as an offshoot into a series of probabilities that you did not follow.

Instead of a shadowy element, you yourself may feel unsubstantial - 'ghostly,' as Ruburt did. Instead of any of those things, the imagined dialogue - if there is any - may suddenly change from the dialogue that you remember; or the entire scene and action may quickly alter. Any of these occurrences can be hints that you are beginning to glimpse the probable variations of the particular scene or action. It is, however, the subjective feeling that is the important clue here, and once you experience it there will be no doubt in your mind.

Some people will have little trouble with the exercise, and others will need to exert persistence before finding any success at all. This method is even more effective if you choose from your past a scene in which a choice was involved that was important to you.

In such a case, begin imaginatively, following through with the other decision or decisions that you might have made. At one point a shadowy effect - grayness, or other characteristics just mentioned - will occur. One or several of these may be involved, but again your subjective feeling is the most important clue. Imagination may bring you a clear picture, for example, that may then become fuzzy, and in that case the blurred quality would be your hint of probable action.

Until you have tried the exercise and become fully acquainted with it, you will not understand its effectiveness. You will know, for instance, when the remembered event and imagination intersect with another probability. Whether or not you have any great success, the exercise will begin a neurological reorientation that will be most important if you hope to glimpse realities that are outside of your present neurologically accepted sense-reality.

This exercise is a mental and biological doorway that can expand both your concepts of yourself and reality.

There may be instances in which it seems that little progress is made during the exercise itself. During the day, however, having made an important decision in one direction, you may begin to feel the reality of the opposite decision and its ramifications. The exercise may also result in a different kind of a dream, one that is recognized within the dream state, at least, as an introduction to a probable reality. You deal directly with future probabilities in the dream state in any case. For example, in a series of dreams you may try out various solutions to a given problem, and choose one of these.' That choice becomes your physical reality.

According to the intensity of the situation, now, another also desirable solution may be worked out in a probable reality.  On an unconscious level you are aware of your probable selves, and they of you.  You share the same psychic roots, and your joint yet separate dreams are available to “all of you”.  This does not mean that you are dreaming someone else’s dream, any more than it means that twins, for example, do.  It does mean that your probable selves and you share in a body of symbolism, background, and ability.  The multistructured nature of the dream state allows for dream dramas in which probable selves do appear.  They may appear as symbolically representing strong characteristics upon which they have focused, though you have ignored them.

The dream state, however, does operate as a rich web of communication between probable selves and probable existences.  All probabilities spring from inner reality, from the psyche’s own inner activity and structure.  The consciousness that you know can indeed now emerge into even greater realization of itself, but not by obsessively defending its old position.  Instead it must recognize its power as the director of probable action, and no longer inhibit its own great capacities.
-The Unknown Reality, Volume One, Seth Book, Jane Roberts

The Nature of Personal Reality

The atoms and molecules within you are quite literally dying and being completely replaced all the time. You are being created physically each instant. Period. The body reacts to exterior sounds and to the stimuli brought to it by the physical senses. These patterns of reaction can be clearly shown. They are all that is presently observable, however, of far greater interactions that also occur.

The atoms and molecules that compose your cells and your flesh, for instance, do not react to the physical sounds that you hear or to the light patterns that your physical eyes perceive. In times of danger your entire body must be able to move swiftly. The hormonal system must react with great rapidity, sometimes completely changing the balance of a moment earlier. The muscles must be immediately alert, and the entire body flexible enough to respond as a whole. This includes every organ and the most minute portion.

Say you are in the middle of a street and suddenly a car is about to hit you. It has come seemingly from nowhere. The cells that compose your intestines, your heart, your muscles obviously do not see the car as "you" do. Yet the whole system must be instantly activated, and the data that "you" perceive must be translated in terms that will energize every portion of your body.

This is done by translating exterior stimuli into interior stimuli, but the physical carriers of the data are all that scientists or physicians have been able to follow thus far. The greater interactions have not been perceived, and the true story of the decoding of such messages has not been understood. 

The nerves are also composed of the same kind of interior structures as mentioned earlier (in this chapter): around, or rather from which, the physical nerves form. Here the exterior data is translated and broken down into inner terms. That is, it is decoded in terms of the internal sound, light, and electromagnetic patterns discussed before.

It then becomes usable information, even in terms of the atoms and molecules that compose the cells. The physical lapse that occurs between an incoming message (pause, frowning), and its intended destination doesnot occur on these other levels. The "interior message" gets to its destination ahead of the physical one.

By the time the organism responds the inner patterns have already reacted, and this must and always does precede any physical response to stimuli. Therefore the invisible body pattern, composed of its interior light, sound and electromagnetic properties, reacts first, and actually initiates the later physical response.

There is always this translation of exterior stimuli. The perceived lapse noted by scientists is of course the physical one (leaning forward, hand to closed eyes), caused by the "time" it takes the message to leap the nerve endings.* The interior translation however is simultaneous.

Now return in your mind to the situation of the near accident. That event with the car, its driver, and your own precarious position, exists as another structure beside the one that you physically see. It also — the event — exists in the terms mentioned earlier, in a reality composed of invisible light, inaudible sound, and electromagnetic patterns.

Consciously you react to the physical data — the noise, the squeal of brakes perhaps, the visual shock of seeing the car so close, but the entire inner reality of that scene or event is instantly "recognized" by what I refer to as your inner senses. (See the note at the end of the session.) These respond to the interior patterns I've told you about. The physical data is carried through the nerves with the necessary time lapses that must occur. These represent the temporal end of the spectrum of perception.

Because you are flesh and blood creatures, the interior aspects of perception must have their physical counterparts. But material awareness and bodily response to it would be impossible were it not for these internal webworks.

Now before you see anything physically, you do so through these inner pathways. The interior perception activates the outside one. When you experience physical motion or activity, events or phenomena, you are becoming aware of the tail end of a long "series" of interior comprehensions. I am saying that all exterior events, including your own bodies with their insides, all objects, all physical materializations, are the outside structures of inside ones that are composed of interior sound and invisible light, interwoven in electromagnetic patterns.

Beneath temporal perception, then, each object and event exists in these terms, in patterns that interact with each other. On a physical level you seem to be separated from everything that is not yourself. This is not true, but in your day-to-day existence it seems to be, and it is an assumption that you usually take for granted.

On the interior level of which I have been speaking, all happenings and objects are connected. A movement or change in one affects others. You will physically respond to and recognize some of this alteration, as in the example of the near accident. But whether or not you are consciously aware of such activity, it changes the interior environment of your body through these inner pathways.

Your own thoughts and beliefs, having the same kind of inner reality, also transform the interior environments of others. The nearaccident mentioned was a physical event but it was initially a mentalone. It existed in this non-temporal reality then before, in your terms, it was physically materialized, perceived and reacted to.

It was propelled from inner reality to outward reality through belief, emotion and imagination. Because you cannot see them, it may seem to you that these qualities are not as real, say, as an object. Physically you can only see the results of an emotion, for instance. You cannot hold it in your hands as you can a stone.

Ideas represent your psychic intent. They generate emotion and imagination. These activate the interior patterns. They are the motive force of action (pause), the means by which all interior events are exteriorized. They are energy formed and directed, formulations of interior and exterior patterns of reality. They are a part of the creative force from which all realities spring. Again, we run into difficulties in explanation simply because there are few verbal equivalents for what I am trying to say.

(Deliberately:) Imagination and emotions are the most concentrated forms of energy that you possess as physical creatures. Any strong emotion carries within it far more energy than, say, that required to send a rocket to the moon.

(Very forcefully.) Emotions, instead of propelling a physical rocket, for example, send thoughts from this interior reality through the barrier between nonphysical and physical into the "objective" world — no small feat, and one that is constantly repeated.
