~Speaking of Seth~

Quote from: TSM Ch.19 DIFFUSION BY THE ENERGY PERSONALITY

Quote"An energy personality who wishes to become a part of your system does so using this sense. The energy personality first diffuses himself into many parts. Since entry into your plane or system, as a member of it, cannot be made in any other manner, it must be made in the simplest terms, and later built up—sperm, of course, being an entry in this respect. The energy of the personality must then be recombined."

What Seth is saying here is that the inner self uses this sense to initiate the birth of one of its personalities in physical life. It may also have a part to play in some mediumistic activities on the part of the surviving personality who wishes to communicate, and it may be used in out-of-body experiences that involve other than physical reality.

What is the point in learning to use the Inner Senses? Seth spoke about some of the benefits in the recorded session he gave for the college psychology class. He said,

Quote"You will not be swallowed by subjectivity. You will learn what reality is. ... What is not understood is that self-investigation initiates states of consciousness with which you are usually not familiar. Now these can be used as investigative tools.

"In the sort of exploration of which I am speaking, the personality attempts to go within itself, to find its way through the veils of adopted characteristics to its own inner identity. ... The inner core of the self has telepathic and clairvoyant abilities that greatly affect family relationships—and your civilization. Now you are not using them effectively. These are precisely those abilities that are needed now. If there is to be any hope of world communication, then each of you must understand where your potentials are as individual subjective creatures.

"Books cannot tell you this. Even if you discover, through psychoanalysis, where your neuroses lie, you are in very shallow water. You are still exploring the topmost levels of your personality, and you do not have the benefit of those altered states of consciousness that occur when you look into yourself in the manner I have prescribed.

"There is a condition of consciousness that is more awake than any you have ever known—a condition in which you are aware of your own waking and dreaming selves simultaneously. You can become fully awake while the body sleeps. You can extend the present limitations of your awareness."

What Seth is alluding to is that the practice of Psy-Time does stretch normal consciousness. All kinds of previously inhibited inspirations, hunches, and helpful extrasensory information now come into conscious awareness. When you do Psy-Time regularly, you become alert to data that comes through the Inner Senses. You react to the data and learn to handle a larger amount of stimuli than before.

This intuitional alertness carries over into daily life and into the sleeping state. Through instructions given by Seth I've learned to come fully awake while dreaming, as mentioned earlier. In this state you recognize your dreams as dreams and can manipulate them more or less at will. You can leave your body safely sleeping, for a projection of consciousness. All of this involves work, however—at least on my part. You must learn, through experience, to maintain the proper level of consciousness, and there is always the possibility of falling back to the usual dream state.

These levels of consciousness are only preliminaries to another state that I have reached but seldom. In this state your intellect, intuitions, and entire being operate at a level that is really supranormal. Your senses are almost unbelievably acute. This state can occur whether you are normally awake, "awake" in the sleep condition, or in a trance. But you feel as if you have lived your life in a dream and are now awake. Momentarily you are aware of your multidimensional reality. Once you have had this experience, you never forget it.

These achievements begin with the simple practice of Psy-Time. They begin when you turn your focus of attention away from physical reality for a few moments a day. Each person will experience the Inner Senses in a different way, since perception of any kind is highly individual. It is extremely difficult to use the other Inner Senses without first using Psy-Time, however. In fact some of my students "turned on" their other Inner Senses spontaneously when doing Psy-Time. Some have used Psy-Time to receive information concerning their past lives; in this case, they used many of the Inner Senses together to search out the data they wanted.

Taken together, the Inner Senses will give each individual a picture of reality as it exists independently of physical matter, an image of the inner identity that is his own. They will automatically increase concentration and release abilities that will give daily life additional meaning, vitality, and purpose.

"diffuses himself into many parts... must then be recombined" reminds me of Star Trek transporters. And any electronic data transfer such a fax machines, telephones, tv and radio, backing up a computer to an external drive etc. I wonder if there are ever "mistakes" made in the recombined stage? I've been doing a lot of scanning lately, and sometimes the scanner rearranges sentence order.

I totally agree that we are not using our abilities effectively. I wonder though even if there is world communication, it will solve issues if certain individuals are determined to do as they do. Putin for example, the atrocities being doing to Ukrainian citizens. If the majority of individuals would communicate telepathically to Putin that he's doing something very wrong and inhumane... would he change? His goals are self-centered and ego driven—he wants to expand Russia. He doesn't want to "save Ukraine" from Nazis. He wants his Soviet Union back. Would someone like him ever put his self-interests aside for the greater good?

I've had that happen a few times. I found the sensation interesting, but didn't necessarily feel more awake. It has not progressed beyond the awareness of what's happening. I have also manipulated "matter" and circumstances in some dreams, and have been thrilled with wonder of the details surrounding me—"how did I ever create all of this?" crosses my mind. I love lucid dreams, would like to have more.

Quote from: TES6 #269"Now. There were some notes I wanted to give you concerning dreams in which you feel certain that you are awake. When these dreams are unusually vivid, then the ego is aware of participating. The ego is not using its critical faculties however as a general rule.

As you realize, you can use the critical faculties. But you see when you do so you realize that you are not in your normal waking condition. In awake-seeming dreams you are indeed awake, within of course a different psychological framework. Indeed, within a different framework of reality.

You are operating at a rather high level of awareness, and you are using inner senses. These enable you to perceive an added depth or dimension, and this is responsible for the increased sense of vividness, and also for the sense of exhilaration that sometimes occurs within this particular sort of dream.

The next step of course is to allow the ego to use its critical faculties also within the dream state. You are then able to realize that while you are indeed awake, as you seem, you are awake within a different condition.

When this occurs you will be able to use your normal abilities in addition to other abilities used while in the dream state itself. You will be certain of your identity. You will realize that your physical self is sleeping, or in a dream state, and that the inner self is fully awake. Now this represents a definite increase in the scope of consciousness, and a considerable expansion over the usual limitations set by you upon the self."
