(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:2) (cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:2) "It was a personality fragment of your own. You were wishing for a playmate, and were jealous because your brother stayed so long with your father. Quite without knowing it, you materialized a personality fragment as a playmate." p.29 "At one time or another, all of us on my plane give such lessons, but psychic bonds between teacher and pupils are necessary, which means that we must wait until personalities on your plane have progressed sufficiently for lessons to begin. Lessons then are conducted with those psychically bound to us." p.40 "Seth also said that an inner part of each personality was aware of its relationship with its entity -- and that this portion did man's breathing for him and controlled those bodily processes that we consider involuntary." p.55 "Seth said that not only do we form our own reality now, but we will continue to do so after physical death, so it is of the utmost importance that we understand the connection between thought and reality." p.112 "Matter is continually created, but no particular object is in itself continuous. There is not, for example, one physical object that deteriorates with age. There are instead continuous creations of psychic energy into a physical pattern that appears to hold a more or less rigid appearance." p.114 "The actual material that seems to make up the object has completely disappeared many times, and the pattern has been completely filled again with new matter. Physical matter makes consciousness effective within three- dimensional reality." p.114 "Matter of itself, however, is no more continuous, no more given to growth or age than is, say, the color yellow." p.114 "None of you sees the glass that the others see. Each of the three of you creates your own glass, in your own personal perspective. Therefore you have three different physical glasses here, but each one exists in an entirely different space continuum." p.115 "Now, Mark, you cannot see Joseph's glass, nor can he see yours. This can be proven mathematically, and scientists are already working with the problem, though they do not understand the principles behind it." p.115 "Suggestion is no more and no less than an inner willingness and consent to allow a particular action to occur; and this consent is the trigger which sets off the subconscious mechanisms that allow you to construct inner data into physical reality." p.120 "Mental enzymes are connected with the pineal gland." p.121 "The physical environment is as much a part of you, then, as your body." p.122 "When it is said that certain characteristics from a past life influence or cause present patterns of behavior such statements -- and I have made some of then -- are highly simplified to make certain points clear. The whole self is aware of all the experiences of all its egos, and since one identity forms then, there are bound to be similarities between them and shared characteristics." p.149 "The human being does not erupt into existence at birth and laboriously then begin its first attempt to gain experience, If this were the case, you would still be back in the Stone Age. There are waves of energy, and waves (cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:3)(cid:3)(cid:2) of reincarnational patterns, for there have been many Stone Ages on your planet, where new identities did begin their 'first' experience with physical existence..." p.156 "You must watch the pictures that you paint with your imagination for you allow your imagination too full a reign...You form physical materializations of these realities within your own mind. If you imagine dire circumstances, ill health, or desperate loneliness, these will be automatically materialized, for these thoughts themselves bring about the conditions that will give them reality in physical terms. If you would have good health, then you must imagine this as vividly as in fear you imagine the opposite." p.161 "For one thing, while pain is unpleasant, it is also a method of familiarizing the self against the edges of a quickened consciousness. Any heightened sensation, pleasant or not, has a stimulating effect upon consciousness to some degree. Even when this stimulus may be highly unpleasant, certain portions of the psychological structure accept it indiscriminately because it is a sensation, and a vivid one." p.169 "All illness is almost always the result of another action that cannot be followed through. When the lines to the original action are released and the channels opened, the illness will vanish, however, the thwarted action may be one with disastrous consequences which the illness may prevent. The personality has it's own logic." p.170 "each case of senility is different, but generally speaking, the personality transfers the vital parts of consciousness into the next area of existence, and is often fully aware there, and functioning." p.172 "Seth suggests that self-hypnosis and light trance states be used as ways to uncover inner problems that are causing us difficulty. He also suggests that we simply ask the inner self to make the answer available on a conscious basis." p.173 "In larger terms, there is no evil, only your own lack of perception..." p.179 "Energy projected into any kind of construction, psychic or physical, cannot be recalled, but must follow the laws of the particular form into which it has been for the moment molded." p.183 "...the physical universe itself is a conglomeration of diverse individualistic symbols, none of which means precisely the same thing to any two individuals, and in which even so called basic qualities like color and placement in space cannot be relied upon. You merely focus upon similarities. Telepathy could be called the glue that holds the physical universe in precarious position, so that you can agree on the existence and properties of objects." p.183 "Each dream object is actually double- or triple-decked, a symbol for other, deeper data." p.184 "Let us speak no more of a conscious or unconscious self. There is one self and it focuses its attention in various dimensions. In the waking state it focuses in physical reality. In the dream state it is focused within a different dimension." p.187 "I mentioned the Crucifixion...Not being a physical reality, it influenced the world of physical matter in a way that no purely physical event could." p.188 "When you are manipulating within physical reality, you have a fairly simple set of rules to serve you. Within dream reality there is greater freedom. The ego is not present. The waking consciousness, dear friends, is not the ego. The ego is only that portion of waking consciousness that deals with physical manipulation. Waking (cid:3)(cid:3)(cid:2) consciousness can be taken into the dream state; the ego cannot, as it would falter and cause immediate failure." p.191 "If you were aware of the constant barrage of telepathic communications that do impinge upon you, it would be most difficult for you now to retain a sense of identity." p.192 "When you dream of others, they know it. When they dream of you, you know it. There would be nothing to be gained, however, in conscious awareness of these conditions at this time." p.193 "What is a probable self? According to Seth, each of us has counterparts in other systems of reality; not identical selves or twins, but other selves who are part of our entity, developing abilities in a different way that we are here." p.195 "The 'I' of our dreams can be legitimately compared to the self that experiences probable events. Let us consider the following. An individual finds himself with a choice of three actions. He chooses one and experiences it. The other two actions are experienced also, by the inner ego, but not in physical reality...There is a constant subconscious interchange of information between all layers of the whole self." p.202-203 "Starting with the personality as we usually think of it, there is, after the operating ego, a layer of personal subconscious material. Beneath this is racial material dealing with the species as a whole. Beneath this, undistorted and yours for the asking, is the knowledge inherent in the inner self, pertaining to reality as a whole, its laws, principles, and composition." p.216 "...even as I can travel through other selves which I have known and which are a portion of my identity, and yet which are so beautifully unpredetermined, for you do not exist as completed personalities within my memory, but you grow within my memory." p.229 "Later, in your time, all of you will look down into the physical system, like giants peering through small windows at the others now in your position and smile." p.231 "This absolute, ever-expanding, instantaneous psychic gestalt, which you may call God if you prefer, is so secure in its existence that it can constantly break itself down and rebuild itself." p.237 "All that is knows no other. This does not mean that there may not be more to know. It does no know whether or not other psychic gestalts like It may exist. It is not aware of them if they do exist. It is constantly searching. It knows that something else existed before Its own primary dilemma when It could not express Itself." p.241 "Now in the same way do you give freedom to the personality fragments within you own dreams and for the same reason. And you create for the same reason, and within each of you is the memory of that primal agony -- that urge to create and free all probable consciousness into actuality." p.244 "Some personalities can be a part of more than one entity...Any personality can become an entity on its own." p.245 "There is constant creation. There is within you a force that knew how to grow you from a fetus to a grown adult. This force is part of the God within you." p.246 "In other words All that is existed in a state of being, but without the means to find expression for its being. This was the state of agony of which I spoke" "At first, in your terms, all of probable reality existed as nebulous (cid:3)(cid:3)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:2) dreams within the conscious of All that is..." "Had he not solved it, All that is, would have faced insanity, and there would have been, literally, a relity without reason and a universe run wild. The pressure came from two sources: from the conscious but still probable individual selves who found themselves alive in a God's dream, and from the God who yearned to release them." (cid:3)(cid:3)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:2) (cid:3)(cid:3)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:2) Book 1 "This is the difference. A personality fragment has all the properties of its parents inherent, though it may not know how to use them." Session 9, Page 42 "Neither of you have a need for children in your present personalities. You are almost finished with incarnations on the earth, so much so that the physical bodies will return completely and unfragmented upon your physical death. This is always the case in the final earth life. The physical property is left behind, no portion of it being carried on that plane through children." Session 9, Page 46 "Intellectual truth alone will not make you free, though it is certainly a necessary preliminary. If this were the case your walls would fall away, since intellectually you understand their rather dubious nature. Since feeling is so often the cohesive with which mind builds, it is feeling itself which must be changed if you would find freedom from your particular plane of existence at your particular time." Session 13, Page 72 "Perception of beauty through the senses is the trigger on your plane for subsequent inner perceptions." Session 14, Page 77 "In fact, the analogy of a plane with an emotional state is much more valid than the analogy between a plane and a geographical state. Particularly since emotional states take up no room." Session 16, Page 101 "Your subconscious is a greater part of you than you know, and the ego is nothing more than the topmost portion of the subconscious." Session 17, Page 107 "When the ego becomes too concerned with daily matters, with worry in other words, then the works of the tool become clogged. It becomes ineffective. Dissociation, and I will give you many ways of achieving it, unclogs the tool and is absolutely necessary." Session 17, Page 108 "As you have probably supposed by now, there is consciousness in everything. Visible or invisible to you, each fragment of the universe has a consciousness of its own." Session 18, Page 118 "These inner senses, if I may use an analogy again, are like hidden underground trains that carry important fuel from one country to another." Session 19, Page 132-133 "And while they create instruments to deal with smaller and smaller particular particles, they will actually see smaller and smaller particles, seemingly without end." Session 19, Page 136 "The brain deals exclusively with camouflage patterns, transforming vitality into physical environmental camouflage patterns. The mind deals with basic principles inherent on all planes. The brain is itself part of the camouflage pattern, and can be interpreted and probed by physical instruments. The mind cannot be probed by physical instruments. It cannot even be found by physical instruments. The mind is the connective. It is here that the secrets of the universe will be discovered, and the mind itself is the tool of discovery." Session 19, Page 137 "Part of the subconscious for example deals with camouflage, but the deeper portions are in direct contact with the basic vitality of the universe." Session 19, Page 138 (cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:4)(cid:4)(cid:2) "This vital data is sent to the mind by the inner senses. Any material that is important for the body’s contact with outer camouflage patterns is given to the brain. The subconscious, so-called, is a connective between mind and brain, between the inner senses and the outer senses. It is actually partly on your plane and partly on other planes." Session 20, Page 142 "As a rule each entity is born so that he experiences at least three roles, that of mother, father and child" Session 23, Page 163 "The personality when it leaves your plane for good will have developed its potentials as far as it possibly can." Session 23, Page 163 "In sleep the conscious becomes actually the subconscious and the subconscious, in the most real manner, becomes conscious." Session 23, Page 166 "You form the camouflage world or appearances with the same part of you that breathes." Session 23, Page 167 "Time is one of your most obvious camouflages, and the study of time will lead you in a fairly direct manner from the camouflaged physical self to the inner self, which you ignore." Session 23, Page 170 "I have said also that this psychological time operates during sleep and during quiet times of consciousness." Session 24, Page 176 "The emotions come closer than anything else to the vividness of inner data." Session 24, Page 188 "The emotions, while connected to the ego strongly, nevertheless also belong to what we have been pleased to call the subconscious." Session 25, Page 189 "The inner senses were always paramount in evolutionary development, being the impetus behind the physical formations; and themselves, through the use of mental enzymes, imprinting the data contained in the mental genes onto the physical camouflage material." Session 26, Page 198 "They have had six lives apiece, merely because they are particularly stubborn." Session 27, Page 208 "Individual life, or the life of the present individual, could be legitimately compared to the dream of an entity." Session 28, Page 216 "The entity itself does not have to keep constant check on its personalities, because in each personality there is an inner self-conscious part that knows its origin." Session 28, Page 218 "The subconscious therefore, in this truly ludicrous analogy, would exist between the two brains, and would enable the creature to operate as a single unity." Session 28, Page 219 "Many personalities upon receiving knowledge of their entity prefer to remain part of it, though they are always independent individualities within the whole entity, as even the cells of your physical bodies are part of the whole self. They greet the entity as a son greets his father." Session 29, Page 226 "The fact is that your plane originated because enough entities needed certain types of experience to warrant such a creation, and they set about forming it through the process of evolution."
