Glossary à?? ABCs of Conscious Creation According to Seth/Jane Roberts

The following presents a conceptual overview of the main tenets that I have gleaned from the published material to date. However, since all of the Seth material has yet to be published, this overview will be updated to reflect any new ideas and understandings as they emerge.

All-That-Is à?? Sethà??s concept of god as an Eternal Action or Process and not a «thing» separated from its parts but the Primary Source of all aspects. It embodies the ideas that consciousness is the primary cause of all actions in physical reality, «everything is sacred and alive,» and the multidimensional omniverse is constructed of frameworks of consciousness that are nested holarchies. Another term for the same concept from the perennial wisdom is the Great Nest of Being. Discussed in detail in The Seth Material.

Alpha States à?? Seth outlined a «map» of the spectrum of altered neurological focus that provides the simplest of overviews for accessing «hidden» aspects of our psyche.

There are five main regions:

A1a (enhanced creativity, concentration, study, refreshment, rest, meditation)

A1b (horizontal into alternate realities à?? group/mass probabilities, racial matters, civilization)
A1c<

A2 (reincarnational selves, issues, and beliefs)
A3 (mass issues, geographical histories, racial info, species of animals)
A4<-changing inspiration, available in sleep state, personal conversions originate here)
A5 (seldom reached, meeting ground of clear communication for any aspect self including those from probable and alternate systems, no-time, out-of-body experiences can occur here)

This template does not imply a linear progression through a spectrum of consciousness, like climbing up and down a ladder, but a more multidimensional, sideways, rightways, leftways, topways and bottomways path. In other words, you donà??t necessarily move through one to get to the next one. If you think of your conscious mind as a radio that receives and translates energy transmissions from your inner self over a spectrum of «stations,» you can simply change to any station at the push of a button.

Also, the alpha states outlined here do not map directly to the beliefs of current dream researchers. In other words contemporary dream researchers define the alpha state as a relaxed state that precedes sleep, occurring in the brain over a spectrum from roughly eight to fourteen cycles per second. So Sethà??s use of alpha states should not be confused with the more popular scientific belief of alpha states. Still, Sethà??s A1-A5 offers a «map» in which to conceptualize and interpret paranormal experiences in terms of lucid dreams, projections, near-death experiences, trance and other altered states.

Dream research is still in its infancy in the West and continues to develop, having only recently acknowledged the perennial phenomenon of lucid dreaming. Sleep and dream researchers list four main types of neurological focuses in which the brain operates as:

• beta
• alpha
• theta
• delta

They cover a range from beta à?? the waking state à?? at approximately 14-30 cycles per second down to delta à?? the deepest sleep state à?? at approximately .5-4 cycles per second. According to scientific beliefs the alpha state is considered the state we use as we relax and fall asleep. According to Seth the alpha state provides the natural gateway to the inner ego through the inner sense of psychological time. It isnà??t important that Sethà??s view doesnà??t directly correspond to scientific beliefs. On one hand the label is what gets in the way, on the other, we still have a sense of what both worldviews deal with. Discussed in detail in Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul and Conversations with Seth.

American Vision à?? Jane Robertsà??s vision of a future in which no single person, group, family, corporation, government, religion, or ideology holds exclusive rights for owning and offering Truth or The Way. A decentralized, democratic vision that promotes the individual, unalienable right to define Truth for ourselves, based upon a direct, individual connection to God or All-That-Is without intermediaries adding layers of interpretation and «thou shalts.» No one is to be considered an infallible source. Discussed in detail in The God of Jane: A Psychic Manifesto (An Aspect Psychology Book).

Aspect Psychology à?? Jane Robertsà??s theory to explain her unique and extraordinary psychic abilities that involved a variety of altered states that included channeling Seth, Seth II, automatic writing, Sumari singing, and projections of consciousness. Jane synthesized Sethà??s ideas on the multidimensional psyche into a theoretical framework that is very similar to contemporary Transpersonal and Integral Psychology. In her view, the psyche is considered a source self, a bank of infinite potentials constantly seeking expression and fulfillment in terms of forming new personalities, which Jane terms focus personalities. Both are considered aspects, hence the terms Aspect Psychology. Aspects are not discrete entities but holonically nested aspects of All-that-Is. The three primary aspects of any human being according to Seth are the outer ego, subconscious, and inner ego. Jane used the terms focus personality, nuclear self, and source self to map the same spectrum of consciousness. Discussed in detail in Adventures in Consciousness: An Introduction to Aspect Psychology.

Belief systems à?? the fundamental psychological filters we use to color every aspect of our everyday perception. Many times what we consider to be truths, laws, and absolutes are only beliefs. Understanding this concept is the key to unlocking creativity, the power of free will and choice, and a deeper understanding the ways that we create every aspect of our lives.

Related ideas include bridge beliefs; beliefs we can use to identify and recognize core beliefs that bridge contradictory and conflicting beliefs we often hold simultaneously. A core belief is a central belief in which other subsidiary beliefs act like satellites. For example, our belief in responsibility as a parent, spouse, or sibling is a core belief that glues together related beliefs of self-esteem, adequacy, self-worth, value in the community, and many more. If you dig down and identify a core belief, then change it, you will notice that the satellite beliefs also change. This is also how we heal ourselves of any illness.

Many times the process of identification is invisible and transparent à?? still a subconscious process. So a goal is to make our subconscious conscious through introspection, contemplation, and dream work. And once we learn to consciously recognize our many invisible beliefs and neutralize their hold on us, we open to new possibilities and creativity. Discussed in detail in The Nature of Personal Reality.

Camouflage à?? our physical universe is constantly created in each moment by an inner, non-physical source reality. In this sense all forms of physical energy à?? matter, linear time, space, gravity, the electromagnetic spectrum, the weak and strong nuclear forces à?? are a camouflage. This idea has similarities to the Hindu and Buddhist concepts of maya and samsara which reflect the belief that all physical reality has an illusory (really a non-primary) nature because it emerges from a fundamental non-physical source. This is not to say that Seth considers physical reality an illusion to be avoided in any sense as these Vedantic philosophies do, just that there is a deeper non-physical source reality from which it all springs. Discussed in detail in Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul

The Codicils à?? eleven related concepts intended as appendices to the human will that serve as alternate hypotheses for private and public experience based upon Janeà??s theory of Aspect Psychology. This theory organizes the «paranormal» capabilities of the human psyche into various aspects that reflect its true multidimensional nature. Discussed in detail in Psychic Politics (An Aspect Psychology Book).

1. «All of creation is sacred and alive, each part connected to each other part, and each communicating in a creative cooperative commerce in which the smallest and the largest are equally involved.

2. «The physical senses present one unique version of reality, in which being is perceived in a particular dimensionalized sequence, built up through neurological patterning, and is the result of one kind of neurological focus. There are alternate neurological routes, biologically acceptable, and other sequences so far not chosen.

3. «Our individual self-government and our political organizations are by-products of sequential perception, and our exterior methods of communication set up patterns that correlate with, and duplicate, our synaptic behavior. We lock ourselves into certain structures of reality in this way.

4. «Our sequential prejudiced perception is inherently far more flexible than we recognize, however. There are half steps à?? other unperceived impulses à?? that leap the nerve ends, too fast and too slow for our usual focus. Recognition of these can be learned and encouraged, bringing in perceptive data that will trigger changes in usual sense response, filling out potential sense spectra with which we are normally not familiar.

5. «This greater possible sense spectrum includes increased perception of inner bodily reality in terms of cellular identity and behavior; automatic conscious control of bodily processes; and increased perception of exterior conditions as the usual senses become more vigorous. (Our sight, for example, is not nearly as efficient as it could be. Nuances of color, texture, and depth could be expanded and our entire visual area attain a brilliance presently considered exceptional or supernormal.)

6. «Each person is a unique version of an inner model that is in itself a bank of potentials, variations, and creativity. The psyche is a seed of individuality and selfhood, cast in space-time but ultimately independent of it.

7. «We are born in many times and places, but not in a return of identity as we understand it; not as a copy in different clothes, but as a new self ever-rising out of the psyche's life as the new ruler rises to the podium or throne, in a psychic politics as ancient as humanity.

8. «Civilizations both past and present represent projections of inner selfhood, and mirror the state of the mass psyche at any given time. We hold memory and knowledge of past civilizations as we hold unconscious memories of our private early current-life experiences.

9. «From our present, we exert force upon the past as well as the future, forming our ideas of the past and reacting accordingly. We actually project events into our own new past.

10. «Each generation forms such a new past, one that exists as surely as the present; not just as an imaginary construct but as a practical platform à?? a newly built past à?? upon which we build our present.

11. «Options and alternate models for selfhood and civilizations exist in a psychic pattern of probabilities from which we can choose to actualize an entirely new life system.»

Concept patterns à?? an idea used by Seth to describe aspects of his native mode of perception that incorporates full use of the inner senses in relation to the process in which he prepares information about to be translated into terms that Janeà??s nervous system can manage. Since Sethà??s reality is «outside» of space-time, he is aware of the past, present, and future aspects and conceptual intent in consciousness underlying these multidimensional patterns.

Jane writes about how, during session breaks, she often senses entire blocks of material available for her to tap into. This is how she perceives these concept patterns as they wait for Seth to translate them into linear, physical terms through spoken and written language. Discussed in detail in The Early Sessions: Book 1 of the Seth Material.

Conscious creation

à?? the essential idea that «you create your own reality» via the conscious mind. Strongly coupled with this is the notion that consciousness is a primary causal agent. That is, consciousness creates all energy-matter and space-time, not the other way around.

Consciousness is defined as much more than just human beings. Fueled by a nondual Source Energy that simultaneously exists within and «outside» of energy-matter and space-time, everything is a conscious aspect within a nested spectrum of consciousness that includes animals, plants, insects, bacteria, rocks, atoms, dark matter, electromagnetic fields, etc. Seth refers to this «great chain of being» as All-That-Is.

When it comes to human beings, the conscious mind (or psyche) is defined as a triune spectrum of consciousness, that is, three primary, nested, and inseparable aspects within All-That-Is:

Levels of Selfhood States of Consciousness Levels of Reality 1. outer ego waking self framework 1 (gross energy body) 2. subconscious dreaming self frameworks 1, 2 (subtle energy bodies) 3. inner ego sleeping self frameworks 2, 3, 4... (causal energy «bodies») 4. All-That-Is nondual All-That-Is

Taken together, all of these aspects form the holonically nested conscious mind. Though the specifics are new, the underlying ideas are not new at all. They can be found in premodern works of the perennial wisdom traditions. For example, if we add the Buddhist and Hindu formulations to the above, we get:

Levels of Selfhood States of Consciousness Levels of Reality 1. Sethà??s outer ego (Buddhist five senses vijnanas, Hindu pranamayakosha) waking self framework 1 (gross energy body, nirmanakaya) 2. Sethà??s subconscious (Buddhist manovijnana, Hindu manomayakosha) dreaming self (savikalpa samadhi) frameworks 1, 2 (subtle energy bodies, sambhogakaya) 3. Sethà??s inner ego (Buddhist alayavijnana, Hindu anandamayakosha) sleeping self (nirvikalpa samadhi) frameworks 2, 3, 4... (causal energy «bodies,» dharmakaya) 4. Sethà??s All-That-Is (Buddha-nature, Hindu Atman) nondual (sahaja samadhi) All-That-Is (nondual svabhavikakaya)

Taken together, they all point to the same underlying principles that have been known for millennia. Therefore, conscious creation is much more than just a thought process, visualization, affirmation, emotional affectation, belief system, perception, or cognition. That is only one quarter of the story! All the former are affects of the outer ego only, all of which, however, are made possible by the subconscious, inner ego, and All-That-Is levels of selfhood.

Remember, All-That-Is and the inner ego are nested causal levels of selfhood. That is, they co-create all energy-matter and space-time. And the subconscious serves as a key mediating or «translation» level between the outer and inner egos.

As Seth states repeatedly, we are really conscious CO-creators. Any definition that doesnà??t include the subconscious, inner ego, and All-That-Is levels of selfhood is really an egocentric and incomplete view. Put another way, only by learning to become consciously aware of our subconscious, inner egos, and All-That-Is will we truly become causal co-creators in concert with All-That-Is.

Therefore, the «you» in «you create your reality» includes the true nature of the conscious mind (psyche).

Originally introduced in Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul, The Nature of Personal Reality, and The Early Sessions, Books 1-3.

Conscious mind à?? another term that describes the multidimensional psyche. Seth distinguishes three primary qualities of the conscious mind à?? the outer ego, the subconscious, and the inner ego. Each is fully conscious, aware, and sentient but based upon its own unique order of perception. Seth consistently refutes the idea that anything is unconscious. The outer ego uses the outer senses, the subconscious outer and inner senses, and the inner ego uses the inner senses. Together these psychological structures form a multidimensional gestalt consciousness. Discussed in detail in The Nature of Personal Reality.

Consciousness units (CUs) à?? the «smallest,» most inward aspects of consciousness and the foundational «building blocks» of All-That-Is; Sethà??s metaphor for pure source energy in its most basic context. CUs are ubiquitous, faster than light, nested «units» of awareized, not humanized, energy imbued with a propensity for creating gestalts of action, energy, and matter. Their unique characteristics include dreaming and inner sensing. Discussed in detail in The «Unknown» Reality, Vol. 1.

Coordinate points à?? the means of energy exchange between Frameworks 1 and 2. There are three kinds: absolute, main, and subordinate. Gestalts of CUs that form into electromagnetic energy units (EEs) blink on/off at beyond the Planck speed à?? 10^(-44). These are the instrumental «black/white holes» that facilitate the actual translation of inner, source energy à?? EEs à?? into physical constructions. In other words, they are key aspects in the mechanics of how we create our physical reality through a psychological, inner «action of translation.» Discussed in detail in Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul.

Cordellas à?? the inner «alphabets» or blueprints for «translating» all source energy from its potential Framework 2 state into physical Framework 1 constructions. The «languages of translation» serve as the basis for human perception. For example, they form the basis for the Sumari trance language, the creation and maintenance of the human body, and all constructs made of physical matter. In other words, all quantum constructs are based upon them. Discussed in detail in Adventures in Consciousness: An Introduction to Aspect Psychology.

Counterparts à?? the psyche manifests multiple focus personalities or aspect selves that overlap in the same historical period. Seth also hints that there can be temporary counterpart relationships between people that do not share the same entity. Discussed in detail in The «Unknown» Reality, Vol. 2.

Dis-ease à?? good health is one of our most cherished states of being. If you believe that you create ALL of your reality, then you begin to question the mechanics and purposes of any ill health situation. Dis-ease has many purposes, some of which are restorative to a more balanced state, some initiate the death experience, and some, for example birth «defects,» are for the purity of the experience. If the purpose of experiencing physical reality is to drink deeply of its rich potentials and we experience multiple simultaneous lifetimes, then it makes sense that certain extreme conditions are a pre-birth choice of experience, not a punishment from God, or the result of natural selection and «bad» genetics.

Electromagnetic energy units (EEs) à?? faster than light particles earmarked for physical manifestation that «slow down» to form all matter, guided by the conscious mind and the pineal gland in the brain. Millions compose each atom. EEs are made up of the even «smaller,» more fundamental, consciousness units (CUs). Discussed in detail in The Seth Material.

Energy personality essence à?? another term used by Seth to describe the multidimensional nature of the human psyche as soul, source, or spirit. It includes the inner ego, an aspect of the conscious mind (outer ego, subconscious, inner ego) that is simultaneously focused in inner reality.

The inner ego transcends physical death and is the source of all focus personalities in similar fashion to the Hindu concept of Atman. In Sethà??s terms, then, we are all physically focused aspects of an energy personalty essence. The inner ego is that aspect «beyond « gender and sexual preference, though when it expresses itself into physical terms it adopts the physical traits designed into any particular framework of consciousness. Seth also describes himself as an «energy personality essence no longer focused in physical reality.» Discussed in detail in The Seth Material.

Entity à?? another term for psyche, soul, or spirit, but expanded to include the inner ego that is simultaneously focused in inner reality. Other synonymous terms include inner self, inner ego, source self, and energy personality essence. Discussed in detail in The Seth Material.

Entity name à?? a designation used by Seth that recognizes each individualà??s inner self as a multidimensional source self consisting of simultaneous, multiple personalities. As you read the Seth books youà??ll notice that he refers to Jane as «Ruburt» and Rob as «Joseph.» This practice often strikes a new reader as unusual and it is always footnoted and explained at the beginning of every book. Discussed in detail in The Seth Material.

Evolution à?? Seth consistently refutes the belief systems of cause and effect, closed energy systems, and linear time as absolute Universal Truths. Since consciousness is primary, there is an inner source reality from which our physical universe constantly springs, matter and energy donà??t evolve according to the Darwinian definition, which has been significantly modified by twentieth century theorists anyway.

Still, the word «evolution» forms a mainstream, mass belief system that contains many distortions, some of which led to pathological behaviors like Social Darwinism based upon racial lines that led to the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust and, more recently, ethnic cleansing in Kosovo.

Seth does not deny that change, growth, and development do occur. Another dark side to this mass belief system, in the guise of survival of the fittest and competition, has been used to justify humanityà??s dominance over all species and planetary resources. These are the main areas of criticism by Seth who also stresses cooperation over competition and defines value fulfillment as another guiding principle that informs all «evolutionary» or developmental actions of consciousness. Discussed in detail in Dreams, «Evolution,» and Value Fulfillment, Vol. 1.

«Families» of consciousness<-740 in <<intention of individualized consciousness, as The One (All-That-Is) becomes the many.

<appearance<--time.

As such, it is possible to have subdivisions of the nine primary intents given by Seth that allow for countless variations, permutations, and hybrids. For example, the healing intent can subdivide to specialize in interpersonal relationships, specific areas of human anatomy, or surgery, etc. Or the healing intent can combine with the teaching intent to specialize in teaching the art of healing, or surgery, etc. A simple mathematical way to imagine these permutations is to multiply 9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1 (called nine factorial). The result yields 362,880 possibilities. Thatà??s a lot more than just nine. But since that example deals with discrete numbers, and intention isnà??t really quantifiable, the possibilities beyond the primary nine are literally infinite.

<

Also, notice that Seth offers a worldcentric view of intention that doesnà??t privilege any race, creed, or ideology, and applies equally to all focus personalities. It thus includes other species in addition to Homo-sapiens, for example, Neanderthal, Cro-

Finally, the specific words Seth used to point out the primary nine intents are secondary, so take them with a grain of salt. Regardless of the words we use, the underlying conscious intentions they describe are easily discernable.

The nine basic intents:

Sumafi (Su-maà??-fi)

SETH: deals primarily with teaching, passing on their knowledge or that of others.

ROB: to transmit «originality» through teaching.

Milumet (Milà??-u-met)

SETH: composed of mystics, most of their energy is directed in an inward fashion, deeply involved in nature, in that sense more highly attuned psychically than most.

ROB: to mystically nourish mankindà??s psyche.

Gramada (Gra-maà??-da)

SETH: specializes in organization, founders of large businesses, statesmen, politicians, vital, active, creatively aggressive.

ROB: to found social systems.

Vold

SETH: primarily reformers, activists, revolutionaries, with excellent precognitive abilities in terms of probabilities, one purpose in mind: to change the status quo in whatever the area of primary interest.

ROB: to reform the status quo.

Ilda (Ilà??-da)

SETH: they deal primarily in the great play of exchange and interchange of ideas, products, social and political concepts. They are travelers, carrying with them ideas of one country to another, mixing cultures, religions, attitudes, political structures. Seth has great affection for these folks!

ROB: to spread and exchange ideas.

Sumari (Sum-marà??-i)

SETH: innovators, naturally playful, humorous, relatively unfettered. They are impatient however. They will be found in the arts and in the less conventional sciences.

ROB: to provide the cultural, spiritual, and artistic heritage for the species.

Tumold (Tu-moldà??)

SETH: primarily devoted to healing, though donà??t have to literally be practicing medicine, found as psychics, social workers, psychologists, priests/shamans, florists, politicians, royalty in past history.

ROB: to heal, regardless of individual occupation.

Zuli (Zuà??-li)

SETH: involved mainly with the fulfillment of bodily activity, athletes, dedicated to perfecting the beautiful, elegant, and performance capacities of the body, often appear at the beginnings of civilizations where direct physical bodily manipulation within the environment was of supreme importance.

ROB: to serve as physical athletic models.

Borledim (Bor-leà??-dim)

SETH: deals primarily with parenthood, often have large families, focus on nurturing healthy children with brilliant minds, healthy bodies, and strong clear emotions. Their ideas often spring to prominence before large social changes, and help initiate them. Closest to Sumari.

ROB: to provide an Earth stock for the species through parenthood.

Discussed in detail in The «Unknown» Reality, Vol. 2.

Feeling tones à?? every aspect of the Great Chain of Being is conscious and has its own inner tone. Just as a clarinet, violin, and electric guitar each have their own timbre when playing the same musical tone, we each have our own personal resonance or feeling tone that is unique to each of us. Learning to consciously resonate with and tune into our own feeling tone helps us connect to our own direct source, entity, or inner self. This provides a gateway, along with our inner senses, to further understand our deeper, inner nature. Discussed in detail in The Nature of Personal Reality.

Fifth dimensional space à?? another term used to describe the vastness of inner reality. Actually looking at the actions of simultaneous time, Frameworks of Consciousness, and All-That-Is from a different angle. Discussed in detail in The Early Sessions: Book 1 of the Seth Material.

Focus personality à?? a term used by Jane Roberts to describe each individual human personality within the context of the larger multidimensional psyche. That is, the psyche actually consists of multiple simultaneous focus personalities. Jane used this term in her theory on multidimensional personality called Aspect Psychology. Discussed in detail in Adventures in Consciousness.

Frameworks of Consciousness à?? a metaphor for understanding the vast totality of All-That-Is. Framework 1 is physical reality, Framework 2 is the state of collective, mass consciousness where all potential, probable source events exist in a state of no-time, no-space. Frameworks 3, 4, ... are nested «inward» toward the infinity of All-That-Is.

Frameworks are analogous to what physicist David Bohm termed Explicate (F1), Implicate (F2), Super Explicate (F3), and Super Implicate (F4) Orders. Discussed in detail in The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events.

Framework 1 à?? physical reality in all of its immaculate wonder.

Framework 2 à?? the state of collective, mass consciousness where all potential, probable source events exist in a state of no-time, no-space.

Framework 3 à?? another source dimension even further removed from physical reality. It was briefly mentioned, but never elaborated upon.

Framework 4 à?? yet another source dimension even further removed from Frameworks 1-3. It was briefly mentioned, but never elaborated upon.

The God of Jane à?? Janeà??s theory on the nature of the multidimensional psyche: a personalized version of our own psyche as the mediator to All-That-Is. The God of Self is local, intimate, and provides us each with a direct connection to our Primary Source. As such, all of our answers to good health, spiritual and financial abundance, moral dilemmas, and satisfying relationships are directly available by searching within and getting to deeply know ourSelf. Discussed in detail in The God of Jane: A Psychic Manifesto (An Aspect Psychology Book).

High Intellect à?? a superb blend of deep intuition and intellect that forms a new faculty. This approach to knowing the Truth integrates multiple ways of knowing that include outer and inner sensing as well as waking (outer ego), dreaming (subconscious), and inner (inner ego) selves. Introduced in [[]], Vol. 1.

Idea constructions à?? there is an inner source reality in which all ideas originate. Ideas are transformed by the inner ego into constructionsà??any physical form of matter and energy. Jane Roberts wrote an essay in an inspired state called The Physical Universe As Idea Construction in which she described the physical universe as idea constructions. Seth later said that this inspired state was his first attempt at consciously contacting her. Discussed in detail in Seth, Dreams, and Projection of Consciousness.

Impulses à?? the native language of the inner ego to us, filtered through the subconscious to the waking ego. Our impulses are designed to help us attain our deepest fulfillment by making us consciously aware of issues, imbalances, and situations that require our immediate attention. The multiverse à?? All-That-Is à?? innately guides all consciousness to its greatest fulfillment in this way.

This is a different definition than the mainstream, mass belief system that defines impulses as chaotic and bad à?? a primary cause of dysfunctional and anti-social behaviors like rape, murder, and mass hysteria. In Seth's definition, blocking our impulses result in dysfunctional and anti-social behaviors. So the goal is to learn to accurately discern and integrate our true impulses and recognize when they become blocked. Discussed in detail in many books; check any index.

Inner ego à?? if we use an iceberg analogy to represent the psyche, then the inner ego would be that vast portion which is submerged and provides the stability and source energy for the tip or outer ego. Other terms used to describe the same concept include inner self, entity, source self, and soul. Discussed in detail in The Seth Material.

Inner self à?? the aspect of the conscious mind that is focused in inner reality and holds the ability to use the inner senses in unrestricted fashion. Another term is inner ego, entity, source self, soul, or spirit. Discussed in detail in The Seth Material.

Inner senses à?? deep intuitions or whatà??s commonly called the sixth sense as a complement to the five physical senses. I use the term hyperception to describe the same set of characteristics. Used primarily by the inner ego, the outer ego can learn to manipulate these through a spectrum of altered neurological focus that results from any authentic type of yoga:

• inner vibrational touch
• psychological time
• perception of past, present, and future
• conceptual sense
• cognition of knowledgeable essence
• innate working knowledge of the basic vitality of the universe
• expansion or contraction of the tissue capsule
• disentanglement from camouflage
• diffusion by the energy personality [essence]

Discussed in detail in The Seth Material.

«Laws» of the inner universe à?? Universal Truths that impact all aspects of All-That-Is/Great Chain of Being:

• value fulfillment
• energy transformation
• spontaneity
• durability
• creation
• consciousness
• capacity for infinite mobility
• changeability and transmutation
• cooperation
• quality depth

Discussed in detail in The Early Sessions: Book 2 of the Seth Material.

[[Find out more about Sethà??s Laws of the Inner Universe.

The magical approach à?? a life style more in tune with the rhythms of the natural world that is conducive to better health, relationships, abundance, and fulfillment. The magical approach does not deny the use of reason and intellect but suggests a complementary framework in which to expand our abilities to ask the deeper questions about ourselves and understand the answers. Discussed in detail in The Magical Approach: Seth Speaks About the Art of Creative Living.

Master events à?? a BIG concept! Master events are a metaphor that describes the nature of the Conscious Source Energy for ALL potential mass events and related physical constructions that are created by the ever inquisitive collective consciousness in Framework 2. Integrated ideas include the multidimensional psyche ensconced in the simultaneous time frameworks of the spacious present, reincarnation in terms of simultaneous lifetimes that bleed through and affect each other, and the infinite exploration of probable mass events à?? all in the context of individual and collective value fulfillment.

Seth also uses the related concepts of time overlays and life clouds to show how probabilities, reincarnational selves, related past, present, and future mass events occurring simultaneously within the spacious present are all fueled by the inner law of value fulfillment. Discussed in detail in Dreams, «Evolution,» and Value Fulfillment, Vol. 2 .

Mechanics of transition and the afterdeath experience à?? consciousness continues after «death» in Frameworks 2 & 3. Discussed in detail in Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul.

Mental enzymes à?? enzymes are complex proteins produced by living cells to catalyze specific biochemical reactions. So mental enzymes are an inner counterpart used by the inner ego to initiate various actions that result in a variety of physical constructions in Framework 1. Discussed in detail in The Early Sessions: Book 1 of the Seth Material.

Mental genes à?? genes are a specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that is the functional unit of inheritance controlling the transmission and expression of one or more traits. So mental genes are an inner counterpart used by the inner ego as blueprints for the creation and manipulation of physical constructions in Framework 1. Discussed in detail in The Early Sessions: Book 1 of the Seth Material.

Moment point à?? a term used to describe the present Now in the context of the spacious present or simultaneous time. An energy personality essence like Seth, as well as each one of us, live in the moment point, limited only by our abilities to focus all of our senses, inner and outer. Discussed in detail in How to Develop Your ESP Power: The First Published Encounter With Seth.

Natural aggression à?? is simply the power to act creatively in the moment. In purely human terms, it is a natural psychological mechanism whose intent is to communicate feelings of transgression in order to avoid violence. In larger terms, a flower bursting forth from its bud, a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, or a human birth all involve a natural aggression which is the creative impetus toward action, growth, and fulfillment.

Natural aggression is an innate part of the conscious mind and our free will. It is not to be confused with artificial or pseudo-aggression and the related violent outbursts of blocked impulses. When natural aggression, in terms of emotions and feelings, is blocked by the conscious mind to any great extent the result are pathologies like neurosis, dysfunctional and anti-social behaviors, violence, and wars. Discussed in detail in The Nature of Personal Reality.

Natural grace à?? a condition in which all growth is effortless. It is a transparent, joyful acquiescence that is an essential part of all existence. Our bodies grow naturally and easily from the time of birth, not expecting resistance but taking their miraculous development for granted; using all of itself with a great, gracious, creatively aggressive abandon.

We are all born into a state of grace. Therefore, it is impossible for us to ever leave it. We share this blessing with the animals and all other living things. We cannot à??fall out ofà?? grace, nor can it ever be taken from us. Discussed in detail in The Nature of Personal Reality.

Natural guilt à?? a quality of the conscious mind that holds the corporeal sense of justness, mutual understanding, and integrity that leads to maximum value fulfillment between all living creatures. It is our innate knowing that there is never a need not kill or destroy more than we need for physical sustenance. When we violate this integrity, we experience an inner knowing that the next time a similar situation occurs that we need not repeat a previous action.

Natural guilt does not bring any sense of penance or punishment, just a knowing that we crossed a line and should not repeat the behavior. And continuing that behavior will lead to a host of imbalances such as war, mass diseases, the destruction of environmental resources and other species. Our conscious minds are graced with the ability to poise and reflect upon any decision or course of action we choose. So natural guilt is an innate mechanism meant to lead us to a sense of balance and equilibrium within the Great Chain of Being.

Artificial guilt is similar to natural guilt in that is also is the result of a moment of reflection. However, it is far more rigid, dogmatic, and inflexible resulting in a set of «thou shalts» that lead to all sorts of imbalances, dysfunctional behaviors, pathologies, and dis-eases. These result in strong beliefs in absolute definitions of right and wrong, good and evil, best or worst that create shame, low self-esteem, and the need for punishment. Our conscience is thus the result of artificial guilt. It is not to be confused with the innate, inner knowing that is natural guilt. Discussed in detail in The Nature of Personal Reality.

Natural hypnosis à?? the acquiescence of the subconscious to conscious belief as the subconscious accepts those orders given to it by the conscious mind. We constantly serve as our own subject and hypnotist, giving ourselves suggestions that constantly reinforce our belief systems. What we believe to be true, is true for each of us. For example, money is the root of all evil, I need a flu shot to protect me during flu season, my body is dirty, ugly, or fat, etc.

When we have our own undivided attention we can use our ability to concentrate our intention and focus our conscious minds to reinforce and affirm any new beliefs that we wish. Five to ten minutes is all you need to accomplish this each day. When selected new beliefs donà??t conflict with others and resonate strongly with your own natural intent, the resulting changes in our lives can be immediate and startling. Discussed in detail in The Nature of Personal Reality.

Natural law à?? a related concept derived from the laws of the inner universe. These are not the scientific laws of nature like gravity, but based upon the inner laws of the universe that are intended to guide all aspects of the Great Chain of Being to their maximum value fulfillment. It stresses cooperation over competition, safety, love, and compassion as traits intended for individual and collective balance, harmony, and equilibrium. Discussed in detail in The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events.

Natural time/clock time à?? we live in a universe, a galaxy, a solar system, a planet with a moon that all follow certain rhythms reflecting the great dance of the Great Chain of Being. Natural time guides the seasons, letting the flowers know when to bloom, the trees to sprout leaves and drop their seeds. The seasons guide the birds to know when to migrate to warmer climates with better food supplies, the farmers when to plant their crops, and on and on. Sunrise and sunset mark the boundaries of countless human activities. Following the rhythms of natural time allows us to be in touch with our planetary, seasonal rhythms, all of which reflect the manifestation of inner rhythms that are geared to promote the deepest value fulfillment in all species.

Clock time or assembly line time is an artificial, manmade creation that is the result of the ego self's fear that it is at the mercy of the elements, needing tools to better predict and control its environment. According to Seth, this was one of the most disastrous inventions in human history and has forced the species into an array of artificial habits that are not in sync with the planet, climate, weather, and environment. Time is inherently flexible and plastic, not absolute and clock time provides a false sense of stability where none is really needed.

This concept is not couched in a «back to nature» or «return to innocence» sensibility, but in a forward looking manner that is of critical importance for collective fulfillment and mutual understanding on a global scale. Discussed in detail in The Early Sessions: Book 1 of the Seth Material.

Official line of consciousness à?? as cultures evolve, construct, and create over time, a center of gravity or collective worldview emerges that embraces all the belief systems considered normal and abnormal, good and bad, healthy and pathological, etc. Historically, this center of gravity has evolved from foraging, to horitcultural, to agrarian, to industrial, to informational, etc. Each period of history, then, consists of belief systems that form the officially accepted reality of the culture. Discussed in detail in Psychic Politics.

Outer ego à?? if we use an iceberg analogy to represent the psyche, then the outer ego would be that surface or physical portion which «protrudes» into the world of space and time, drawing upon the source energy of the inner ego through the inner senses. This aspect of the psyche relies upon the outer senses to manipulate in physical reality. It forms our sense of individuality, our center of gravity of a multitude of personality traits, discerns conditions in the physical world and makes decisions accordingly. Prominent psychological qualities include thoughts, intellect, language, emotions, expectation, desire, and belief systems. Discussed in detail in The Seth Material.

Outer senses à?? the senses of smell, taste, touch, hearing, and sight used by the outer ego to create its perception of the physical world.

Plane à?? what we conventionally consider the physical universe is but the thin outer «crust» of an infinite multidimensional omniverse. The term plane describes this outer crust in relation to the vast unseen, unknown inner reality from which it all springs. Other synonymous terms are alternate, parallel, or probable universe. All hint at the multidimensional nature of physical reality. Discussed in detail in The Early Sessions: Book 1 of the Seth Material.

Probable realities, probable selves à?? the multidimensional psyche has many focus personalities in multiple, simultaneous time frameworks. Each focus personality has many probable selves that split off into clusters of closely related parallel dimensions. Human personality and time are not a single linear phenomenon, but multidimensional «clouds» of interpenetrated clusters or threads. Discussed in detail in The «Unknown» Reality, Vols. 1/2.

Psyche à?? another term for what is conventionally called the soul or spirit. In Sethà??s definition, the psyche is the source self from which our personalities emerge. It consists of an outer ego, subconscious, and inner ego, all of which are conscious in their own ways. Seth consistently refutes that any aspect of the psyche is unconscious, saying that each one holds its own order of perception available to the outer ego through use of the inner senses.

The psyche:

• is a multidimensional source self consisting of focus personalities, who are also aspects. Each focus personality is composed of an outer ego/subconscious/inner ego; all layers are fully conscious, though they use different orders of perception. In other words, no aspect is unconscious.
• is immersed in simultaneous or no-time à?? Frameworks 2, 3, 4, and «inward» means thereà??s no finished past or preordained future, no cause and effect, no linear reincarnations but simultaneous manifestations that affect each other, no karma, no «evolution» in terms of survival of the fittest and natural selection.
• manifests multiple simultaneous lives à?? incarnations, not reincarnations.
• is innately bisexual à?? sexual preference is an innate choice, so gay, lesbian, or heterosexual hoices are all normal, natural, and healthy expressions of the psyche.

Discussed in detail in The Nature of the Psyche: Its Human Expression.

Role Models à?? for emerging disciplines that integrate multiple ways of knowing, that is, integrate the conscious use of the inner and outer senses, subjective and objective perception:

• dream art scientist à?? a generic scientist. The «Unknown» Reality, Vol. 2
• true mental physicist à?? a physicist. The «Unknown» Reality, Vol. 2
• complete physician à?? a healer. The «Unknown» Reality, Vol. 2 ]
• dream archeologist à?? a psychologist or psychiatrist. Oversoul Seven and the Museum of Time
• the practicing idealist à?? promotes non-militant evangelism, activism in any field. The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events
• the gifted amateur à?? an expert in any field without the dogmatic limitations of calcified organizational cultures. The Afterdeath Journal of an American Philosopher: The World View of William James

Root assumptions à?? the term used for what we conventionally believe to be universal laws or scientific laws, but are actually only local to Framework 1 constructions. Discussed in detail in The Nature of Personal Reality.

B>Seth as a fallible source à?? no one source of information can be considered absolutely infallible. Seth mentions unequivocally in session #47 that he is not to be considered an infallible source. This statement is in no way intended to diminish to depth, subtlety, and richness of the material, but cast it in a postmodern light that reveals its authentic nature and tremendous potential for practical application in a variety of every day situations. Discussed in detail in The Early Sessions: Book 2 of the Seth Material.

Seth Two à?? Jane Roberts was a psychic virtuoso, holding the ability to experience a wide variety of non-ordinary states well documented in body of the Seth material. The Seth personality that she channeled was only the best known one. Seth Two is another personality further «removed» from physical reality who came through on occasion. Seth Twoà??s characteristics included a monotonal, emotionless voice that seemed somewhat alien to those who encountered «him.» Seth Two said that he did not understand our physical reality in any direct sense, but that he was intimately involved in nurturing and maintaining the inner realities that support it. Discussed in detail in The Seth Material.

Simultaneous time à?? another term used to describe the vastness of linear time frameworks and the spacious present. In the context of Framework 2, there are nine versions of any moment point:

PAST/past	PAST/present	PAST/future
PRESENT/past	PRESENT/present	PRESENT/future
FUTURE/past	FUTURE/present	FUTURE/future

One way to understand this seemingly contradictory concept is to imagine each of the nine aspects of linear time as «dimensions.» Each dimension has its own integrity and some sort of «boundary.» The boundaries are formed both physically by our five senses and non-physically by our inner senses. These boundaries break down and are easier to «cross» when we consciously employ our inner senses. Discussed in detail in The Nature of Personal Reality.

The sleepwalkers and «before the beginning» à?? Sethà??s mythic, archetypal expression of the origin of all physical species and our universe literally dreaming itSelf into existence. The sleepwalkers are nonphysical aspects of energy personality essence that support and maintain our universe. «Before the beginning» is Sethà??s metaphor to explain that there is no beginning or end to our universe and that creation or cosmogenesis occurs in every instant. Discussed in detail in Dreams, «Evolution,» and Value Fulfillment, Vol. 1.

Spacious present à?? another term used to describe the vastness of inner reality. Actually looking at the actions of simultaneous time, Frameworks of Consciousness, and All-That-Is from a different angle. Discussed in detail in The Seth Material.

Subconscious à?? if we use an iceberg analogy to represent the psyche, then the subconscious portion is that buffer zone between the air (outer ego) and water (inner ego) that provides a psychological gateway through the inner senses between the outer and inner egos. Its primary job is to support the outer ego by handling the vast amounts of physically related data, like digestion, skin cell growth, breathing, heart rate, etc. that would otherwise overwhelm it. The subconscious also serves to translate inner source energy in the form of innate impulses, impressions, intuitions, and intention into cognitive formats the outer ego can understand such as thoughts, intellect, language, emotions, expectation, desire, and belief systems. Discussed in detail in The Seth Material.

The Sumari development à?? a trance «language» expressed as poetry, singing, and pantomime. Sounding like a Romance language, its purpose is to structure inner experience in such a way as to resist being translated into stereotypical belief systems. Discussed in detail in Adventures in Consciousness: An Introduction to Aspect Psychology.

«The Point of Power is in the present» à?? all action really occurs in what Seth terms, the Spacious Present à?? i.e. there is no finished past or preordained future. So our real power lies in our ability to exercise our ability to make choices and take action now in any area of our lives. Discussed in detail in The Nature of Personal Reality.

Tissue capsule à?? the term tissue is used quite liberally here to include the inner, subtle energy boundary found in each individualà??s energy field. This energy field is well documented in Eastern metaphysical traditions and recent scientific investigations. Einsteinà??s famous equation à?? E=MC2 à?? reflects that all matter is essentially a super-dense form of energy or light. Thus human body can be thought as a complex energy form with its own boundaries. Each one of us has a physical (outer) and psychic (inner) boundary that helps us maintain the form of our physical bodies. Discussed in detail in The Seth Material.

A transition or shift in consciousness toward greater use of inner senses and a more individualized type of spirituality à?? without «outside» mediation à?? by the year 2075. Discussed in detail in Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul.

Value climate of psychological reality à?? another term used to describe the vastness of inner reality. Actually looking at the actions of Frameworks of Consciousness and All-That-Is from a different angle. Discussed in detail in The Early Sessions: Book 2 of the Seth Material.

Value fulfillment à?? one of the laws of the inner universe according to Seth. It is a foundational principle in which all consciousness works together in a cooperative venture to allow for maximum development of each individual consciousness in relation to the vast Great Chain of Being. In other words, individual growth, happiness, abundance, and value are innately nurtured by the universe itself but not at the expense of other life forms, instead, in full cooperation toward the maximum benefit of one and all. Discussed in detail in Dreams, «Evolution,» and Value Fulfillment, Vol. 1.

Vitality à?? pure source energy in its most basic context that provides the inexorable impetus for the becoming, unfolding, and development of all aspects of consciousnessà??All-That-Is. Seth later went on to describe this foundational principle as consciousness units (CUs) in The «Unknown» Reality, Vol. 1. Discussed in detail in The Early Sessions: Book 1 of the Seth Material

World views à?? psychic «blueprints» that form the basis and provide the «source energy» for each focus personality. A world view is an action à?? the living lens through which we each perceive and project outward to the world. Its the psychological filter that contains all of our belief systems about God, life, the universe, and everything, and the immaculate way it all works together. The deepest aspects of our personalities and psyches thus express themselves through our world views. Changing any belief alters our world view and changes the way in which we perceive reality.

World views are an aspect of the focus personality that survives physical death that can contact the living, though according to Seth, contact with a nonphysical world view is not the same as a living world view. Jane Roberts autotyped two books that explored world views of a «dead» artist, The World View of Paul Cézanne: A Psychic Interpretation, and philosopher, The Afterdeath Journal of an American Philosopher: The World View of William James.
