Seth: "Your dreams and the physical events of your lives constantly alter the chemical balances within your body. A dream may be purposely experienced to provide an outlet of a kind that is missing in your daily life. It will mobilize your resources and fill your body with a rush of needed hormones, creating a dream state of stress that will bring the organism's healing abilities into combat and result in an end to particular physical symptoms." From: The Nature of Personal Reality, Chapter 10, Session 640 for February 14, 1973.

The creation was God's ineffable experience. --Mark M

Austin Osman Spare: Throughout his life, Spare was an animal lover, taking care of any animals that he found near his home. He was a member of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), and in many photographs can be seen wearing his RSPCA badge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Osman_Spare#Personal_life -----=----- "...I cannot pick up [the struggling] bug...

JANUARY 10, 1984 4:30 PM TUESDAY ...(This material came through after Jane and I had watched a program yesterday and today called In Search Of -- old reruns featuring Leonard Nimoy. I don't recall the shows. In my original notes I had noted that today's "Session material was quite unexpected." (Jane obviously gave this material from her hospital bed in Poom 330.) Now: I bid you another fond good afternoon. ("Good afternoon, Seth.'') A few comments. There are many, many species that man has not discovered, in all the categories of life -- insects onward. There are multitudinous species of viruses and so forth that man has not encountered and recognized, and there are connections between viruses and other species of living matter that remain unknown. There are indeed two different kinds of upward-walking mammals, much like your own species, but much larger, and with infi- nitely keener senses. They are indeed amazingly swift creatures, and through scent alone they are aware of the presence of man when any member of your species is at all in the immediate area -- standing, say, at least several miles away. Vegetable matter is a main diet, though often implemented by insects, which are considered a delicacy. They have, for that matter, devised many ingenious insect traps, so that hundreds or more can be caught, for many are needed since insects are so small. These traps are often constructed on trees, in the bark, in such a fashion that the tree gum itself is used to trap the insects. The traps appear to be part of the tree itself, so as to protect them. These creatures do indeed remember, but their remembering operates extremely rapidly - a kind of almost instantaneous deduc- don that comes as sense data is interpreted. That is, received and interpreted almost at once, or simultaneously. (Pause at 4:40.) Offspring do not occur until the individuals are well past the age that you would consider normal for breeding. Oth- erwise the procedure is the same. With some territorial variation, such creatures reside in many of the world areas on your planet, though their overall population is very small - altogether, perhaps, several thousand. They rarely congregate in large groups, but do have a family and tribal-like organization, with at the very most twelve adults in any given area. As offspring are added, the groups break up again, for they know well that in larger numbers they would be much more easy to discover They all use tools of one kind or another, and live indeed in close concord with the animals. There is no competition between them and animals, for example, and they are not basically aggressive, though they could be extremely dangerous if they were cornered, or if their young were attacked. They grow quite sluggish in wintertime, in very cold climates, and their temperature drops, as is characteristic of hibernating am- mals, except that their temperature is more sensitive to daily varia- tions, so that on some winter days they can forage for food very well, while on the other hand they may hibernate for even weeks on end. (4:46.) They have a keen understanding of nature, and of natural phenomena. Language is not developed to any great degree, for their sensual ordinary equipment is so pure and swift that it almost becomes a language of its own... --Seth, _The Way Toward Health_

Chapter 22 of SETH SPEAKS [this, of course, raises many questions]: "Now, for your edification: Christ, the historical Christ, was not crucified...You will have to give me time here. (Pause.) "He had no intention of dying in that manner; but others felt that to fulfill the prophecies in all ways, a crucifixion was a necessity. "Christ did not take part in it. (Pause.) There was a conspiracy in which Judas played a role, an attempt to make a martyr out of Christ. The man chosen was drugged--hence the necessity of helping him carry the cross (see Luke 23)--and he was told that he was Christ. "He believed that he was. He was one of those deluded, but he also himself believed that he, not the historical Christ, was to fulfill the prophecies. "Mary came because she was full of sorrow for the man who believed he was her son. Out of compassion she was present. The group responsible wanted it to appear that one particular portion of the Jews had crucified Christ, and never dreamed that the whole Jewish people would be 'blamed.' "(Pause at 10:00.) This is difficult to explain, and even for me to unravel....The tomb was empty because this same group carted the body away. Mary Magdalene did see Christ, however, immediately after (see Matthew 28). (Long pause.) Christ was a great psychic. He caused the wounds to appear then upon his own body, and appeared both physically and in out-of-body states to his followers. He tried, however, to explain what had happened, and his position, but those who were not in on the conspiracy would not understand, and misread his statements. "Peter three times denied the Lord (Matthew 26), saying he did not know him, because he recognized that the person was not Christ. "The plea, 'Peter, why hast thou forsaken me?' came from the man who believed he was Christ--the drugged version. Judas pointed out that man. He knew of the conspiracy, and feared that the real Christ would be captured. Therefore he handed over to the authorities a man known to be a self-styled messiah--to save, not destroy, the life of the historical Christ. (10:05. Jane's pace had speeded up considerably by now.) "Symbolically, however, the crucifixion idea itself embodied deep dilemmas and meanings of the human psyche, and so the Crucifixion per se became a far greater reality than the actual physical events that occurred at the time. "Only the deluded are in danger of, or capable of, such self- sacrifice, you see, or find it necessary. Only those still bound up in ideas of crime and punishment would be attracted to that kind of religious drama, and find within it deep echoes of their own subjective feelings. "Christ knew however, clairvoyantly, that these events in one way or another would occur, and the probable dramas that could result. The man involved could not be swerved from his subjective decision. He would be sacrificed to make the old Jewish prophecies come true, and he could not be dissuaded. "(10:10.) In the Last Supper when Christ said, 'This is my body, and this is my blood,' He meant to show that the spirit was within all matter, interconnected, and yet apart--that his own spirit was independent of his body, and also in his own way to hint that he should no longer be identified with his body. For he knew the dead body would not be his own. "This was all misunderstood. Christ then changed his mode of behavior, appearing quite often in out-of-body states to his followers. (See John 20, 21; Matthew 28; Luke 24.) Before, he had not done this to that degree. He tried to tell them however that he was not dead, and they chose to take him symbolically. (A one-minute pause.) "His physical presence was no longer necessary, and was even an embarrassment under the circumstances. He simply willed himself out of it."

Seth: "Your scientists can count their elements. While they are on the wrong track they will discover more and more elements [actually, I think he is referring to the subnuclear zoo; elsewhere, he says the ultimate building blocks are units of consciousness and many millions of those comprise just one atom --Mark]. That is, they will create more and discover more until they are ready to go out of their minds. Because what will happen is, they will always create camouflages of the real thing. And while they create instruments to deal with smaller and smaller particular particles, they will actually see smaller and smaller particles, seemingly without end. "As their instruments reach further into the universe they will 'see,' and I suggest that you put the word see in quotes, they will 'see' further and further but they will automatically subconsciously transform what they apparently see into the camouflage pattern with which they are familiar. "They will be and they are prisoners of their own tools. More galaxies will seemingly be discovered, more mysterious radio stars will be perceived, until the scientists realize that something is desperately wrong. [And so by now there is the supposition of dark matter and energy (more dark matter supposedly exists than regular matter!) in order to make sense of telescopic observations -- it never occurs to the scientists that they might be seeing a "mirage" rather like one's eyes on a hot day deceive one into thinking there is water in the road up ahead when there is not. --Mark] Instruments designed to measure the vibration with which scientists are familiar will be redesigned. All sorts, finally, of seemingly impossible phenomena will be discovered with those instruments. The instruments will be designed to catch certain camouflages and since they are expertly thought out they will perform their function. "I do not want to get too involved. However by certain means the instruments will themselves transform data from terms that you cannot understand into terms that you can understand. Scientists do this all the time. However what this involves is a watering down of data, a simplification that distorts all out of shape, the original is hardly discernible when you are done. You are destroying the meaning in the translation. "The instruments themselves do this transforming, transforming say the idea of time or light years into sound patterns, radio waves and such. You lose too much in this process. What you get is so distorted that you have absolutely no near perception of the original. I will go into this much more deeply as there is much more to be said on a technical level. But when you decipher one phenomena in terms of another you always lose sight of whatever glimmer of understanding may have reached you. "It is not a matter of inventing new instruments any longer. It is matter of using the invisible instruments that you have [our inner senses which he discusses elsewhere --Mark]. These instruments may be known and examined by their effects. This material is evidence. It is like the branch of a tree that moves so that you know the wind by its effects, and a windbag like me by the billowing gale of my monologues."

@Alec I would have thought Stalin would be in the Nazi camp: "This art is degenerate." But I don't know. Ah, yes, tinyurl, I'll have to remember that. Thanks.

Compare what the woman below says about her cells with this Seth quote: ''Your particular society has set up such an artificial division between intuitional and intellectual knowledge that only the intellectually apparent is given credence. With all of their dire faults and distortions, religions have at least kept alive the idea of unseen, valid worlds, and given some affirmation to concepts that are literally known by the cells.'' --Seth, Sess 691 DMT is produced by the body in very minute amounts. "One of our volunteers likes to say 'You can still be an atheist until 0.4 (mg/kg [dose] of DMT).’" _DMT: The Spirit Molecule: A Doctor's Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences by Rick Strassman MD 'There was a movement of color. The colors were words. I heard what the colors were saying to me. I was trying to look out, but they were saying, "Go in." I was looking for God outside. They said, "God is in every cell of your body. "And I was feeling it, totally open to it, and l kept opening to it more, and I just took it in. The colors kept telling me things, but they were telling me things so I not only heard what I was seeing, but also felt it in my cells. I say "felt," but it was like no other "felt," more like a knowing that was happening in my cells. That God is in everything and that we are all connected, and that God dances in every cell of life, and that every cell of life dances in God....'

Seth to Jane Roberts and her husband, Rob Butts: "At a conscious level, of course, neither of you realized, or wanted to realize, the kind of complete repeal and overhaul that was implied by our sessions, and for some years you managed to hold many official views of reality along with the newer concepts, not ready to understand that an entire new way of thinking was involved, a new relationship of the individual with reality. So you tried out some new methods piecemeal, here and there, with good-enough results. "Of course, an entire reorientation (with emphasis) is instead implied..." _The Magical Approach_, AUGUST 18, 1980

Aside from the fact that I’ve not read the link yet, I think some people just liked the aesthetics of fascists. Read that fact not long ago about David Bowie’s mother, Margaret Mary “Peg” Jones. She apparently praised the gear of Oswald Mosley’s cult, the Blackshirts. Not saying that is or isn’t the case with Jean Cocteau but if it was the case it wouldn’t surprise me. Some people were of the go-along-to-get-along mindset and became card-carrying fascists but were apolitical at heart. There have been people who tried to tell me that fascist symbolism and messages are to be found all throughout Cocteau’s work but what these people forget is that both Cocteau and fascists were aware of — and made use of — occult symbolism.

Follow your impulses [Seth says murderous or harming impulses, for instance, arise when many previous impulses were denied. A large debt of impulses has built up. No, he doesn't recommend you follow murderous or harming impulses! He says everyone is innately good.] Seth (Session 857): "Psychologically, your impulses are as vital to your being as your physical organs are. They are as altruistic, or unselfish, as your physical organs are (intently) and I would like that sentence read several times. And yet each impulse is suited and tailored directly to the individual who feels it. Ideally, by following your impulses you would feel the shape, the impulsive shape of your life. You would not spend time wondering what your purpose was, for it would make itself known to you, as you perceived the direction in which your natural impulses led, and felt yourself exert power in the world through such actions." [He speaks of "value fulfillment" as a purpose to life.] Seth (Session 870): "Your impulses are your closest communication with your inner self, because in the waking state they are the spontaneous urgings toward action, rising from that deep inner knowledge of yourself that you have in dreams." Seth (ESP Class, 9-29-79): "Now, impulses are meant to help you create your reality. They are meant to help you move through belief systems. They are meant to help you find your best fulfillment and not only your private best fulfillment; but you are, through your impulses, led to situations where your best improvement also aids the species and all species -- when you listen, when you trust your impulses." "When you are afraid of impulses, you are afraid of them because you think that basically you are murderous creatures, that you come from the animals -- and you think of them in those terms, then, as beasts. It seems to you that your beastly nature will betray itself in your impulses. But your impulses come from that natural impulse to be. And your natural impulses, left alone, are those of cooperation and joy."

In _The Seth Material_, Seth insisted, "Violence is never justified." (end of "God Concept" chapter) Further: Christ's dictum to turn the other cheek (Matthew 5:39, for instance) was a psychologically crafty method of warding off violence--not of accepting it. Symbol- ically it represented an animal showing its belly to an adversary. (Jane, as Seth, patted her midriff.) The remark was meant symbolically. On certain levels, it was the gesture of defeat that brought triumph and survival. It was not meant to be the cringing act of a martyr who said, "Hit me again," but represented a biologically pertinent statement, a communi- cation of body language. Give us a moment... (Softly:) It would cleverly remind the attacker of the "old" communicative postures of the sane animals. --Seth, Sess 673, _The Nature of Personal Reality [NoPR]_ Thou shalt not violate. The animals do not need such a message, of course, nor can it be literally translated, for your conciousness is flexible and leeway had to be left for your own interpretation. An outright lie may or may not be a violation. A sex act may or may not be a violation. A scientific expedition may or may not be a violation. Not going to church on Sunday is not a violation. Having normal aggressive thoughts is not a violation. Doing violence to your body, or another's, is a violation. Doing violence to the spirit of another is a violation--but again because you are conscious beings the interpretations are yours. Swearing is not a violation. If you believe that it is then in your mind it becomes one. (12:01.) Killing another human being is a violation. Killing while protecting your own body from death at the hands of another through immediate contact is a violation. Whether or not any justification seems apparent, the violation exists. [Elsewhere he said the only lesson is to violate no more.] (Long pause.) Because you believe that physical self-defense is the only way to counter such a situation then you will say, "If I am attacked by another person, are you telling me that I cannot aggressively counter his obvious intent to destroy me?" Not at all. You could counter such an attack in several ways that do not involve killing. You would not be in such a hypothetical situation to begin with unless violent thoughts of your own faced or unfaced, had attracted it to you. But once it is a fact, and according to the circumstances, many methods could be used. Because you consider aggression synonymous with violence, you may not understand that aggressive--forceful, active, mental or spoken--commands for peace could save your life in such a case, yet they could. Usually there are a variety of physical actions, not involving killing, that would suffice. As long as you believe that violence must be met with violence you court it and its consequences. --Seth, Sess 634, NoPR

"Miraculous" healings are simply instances of nature unhampered.' --Seth, The "Unknown" Reality, II, Sess 708 Example: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dying-to-be-me-anita-moorjani/1104266044?ean=9781401937515

"Once again, then, ideas of the most optimistic nature are the biologically pertinent ones." --Seth, Session 06\27/84 for _The Way Toward Health_

To people in earlier centuries clock time was unimportant. And, from here in, I will distinguish between physical time, which has to do with day and night, with the tides and seasons, and clock time with which I will deal only when absolutely necessary. Psychological time fits into physical time with little trouble. Originally, this enabled man in many ways to live in the inner and the outer world with relative ease. Psychological time can be transposed onto physical time. But, psychological time cannot flow unhampered or with any freedom through days chopped up into so many clock divisions. The clock time idea was invented by the conscious ego of man for many various reasons, with fear in the foreground. At another time we will have sessions dealing with evolution. And, in these sessions, we will cover the advent of clock time and its many ramifications. It is without doubt one of man's tragedies. And, it arose in large part out of this unpredictable dualism that befell him. Physical time or, that is, clock time was invented by man's ego to protect the ego itself, because of the mistaken conception of dual existence – that is, because man felt that a predictable conscious self did the thinking and the moving. And, an unpredictable, almost automatic self, did the breathing and dreaming. He set up boundaries to protect the predictable self from what he considered the unpredictable self and ended up by cutting the whole self in half.  --Seth, Session 24

"...without telepathy, language would be meaningless and ineffective." --Seth, Early Sess 63

"Problems are methods of learning, set by the inner self. This is a particularly important statement. They should always be faced in this light." --Seth, Session 380 "There is joy also in the universe besides your problems, and the joy is paramount." --Seth, "ESP" class session, May 28, 1968

...Unfortunately, with the development of the scientific era, a development occurred that need not have happened. As I have mentioned before, science's determination to be objective almost immediately brought about a certain artificial shrinking of psychological reality. What could not be proven in the laboratory was presumed not to exist at all. Anyone who experienced "something that could not exist" was, therefore, to some extent or another deluded or deranged.... Now, some peoples would not fit into that mold. They would take what they could from your technology. But, in conscious and spontaneous ways they retaliated –- and still do –- by exaggerating all of those human tendencies that your society has held down so well. If you can have reason without faith [a science fundamentalism], then indeed, for example, you will see that there can be faith without reason [religious fundamentalism]. When human experience becomes shrunken in such a fashion –- compressed –- then in a fashion it also explodes at both ends, you might say. You have atrocious acts committed, along with great heroisms. But, each are explosive, representing sudden releases of withheld energies that have in other ways been forbidden. And so, man's mass psyche expresses itself sometimes like explosive fireworks, simply because the release of pressure is necessary. Even your poor misguided moral/religious organization is saying in its fashion to the scientifically-oriented society: "How is faith not real, then? We'll change your laws with it. We'll turn it into power –- political power. What will you say then? We have been laughed at for so long. We will see who laughs now." Fanaticism abounds, of course, because the human tendencies and experiences that have been denied by the mainline society erupt with explosive force, where the tendencies themselves must be accepted as characteristics of human experience.... --Seth/Jane Roberts, _The Magical Approach_, Session 14

"...when valid concern for world problems turns into an obsession with world injustices that wipes out all, or threatens to wipe out all personal enjoyment, then trouble is on the way. For enjoyment is a weapon. The man who is capable of joy is capable, to a large extent, of changing his world. Joy is not a weak spineless idiot either. Its backbone is stronger than bitterness." --Seth, Session 143

I believe Stalin didn't care for the Picasso portrait.

The beloved Volkswagen, the design of which has been credited to Hitler, the amazing architecture of Albert Speer, the smart outfits of Oswald Mosley’s Blackshirts are all impressive (if one can separate them from fascism) but I like to think that if I’d been around at that time of these I would’ve remained unimpressed by fascism. Tangentially, I was shocked to learn that Hitler requested of Bayer the creation of a drug that’d make the users feel heroic and that’s how heroin was born.

From: The Nature of the Psyche, Chapter 5, Session 773 for April 26, 1976, Seth/Jane Roberts: You have tried to divide mental and emotional characteristics between the two sexes, forcing a stereotyped behavior. Again, the male who was intuitive or artistically gifted in certain ways often therefore considered himself homosexual, whether or not he was, because his emotional and mental characteristics seem to fit the female rather than the male sex. The woman who had interests beyond those acceptable as feminine was often in the same position. Because the intellect and the emotions were considered so separately, however, attempts to express intuitive abilities often resulted in, and often do result in, “unreasonable” behavior. In certain circles now it is fashionable to deny the intellectual capacities in favor of feeling, sentiment, or intuitive actions. Intellectual concerns then become suspect, and recourse to reason is considered a failing. Instead, of course, intellectual and intuitive behavior should be beautifully blended. In the same way you have attempted to force the expression of love into a purely — or exclusively — sexual orientation. An affectionate caress or kiss between members of the same sex is generally not considered proper. The taboos include most aspects of the sense of touch in connection with the human body. Generally speaking, there will be a specific overall sexual orientation of a biological nature, but the mental and emotional human characteristics are simply not meted out according to sex. Such identification cuts the individual in half, so that each person uses but half of his or her potential. This causes a schism in all of your cultural activities. (10:05.) Give us a moment … On the one hand many of you have been taught that sexual expression is wrong, evil, or debasing. You have also been told that if you do not express your sexuality, you are displaying unnatural repression, and furthermore you are led to think that you must above all force yourself to enjoy this ambiguous sexual nature. The old idea that good women do not enjoy sex has hardly disappeared. Yet women are taught that natural expressions of love, playful caresses, are inappropriate unless an immediate follow-through to a sexual climax is given. Men are taught to count their worth according to the strength of the sexual drive and its conquests. They are taught to inhibit the expression of love as a weakness, and yet to perform sexually as often as possible. In such a sexual climate there is little wonder that you become confused. Children of either sex identify quite naturally with both parents, and any enforced method of exclusively directing the child to such a single identification is limiting. Under such conditions, feelings of guilt immediately begin to arise whenever such a child feels natural affiliations toward the other parent. The stronger those natural inclinations are, the more the child is directed to ignore them in your society, since certain characteristics, again, are considered exclusively male or female. The child is also coerced into ignoring or denying those portions of the personality that correspond with the sex it is being taught it cannot identify with. This squeezing of personality into a sexual mold begins early, then. Continuing guilt is generated because the child knows unerringly that its own reality transcends such simple orientation. The more able the child is to force such an artificial identification, the greater its feelings of inner rebellion. The lack of a “suitable” father or mother image has “saved” more children than it has hurt. The psyche, with its great gifts, always feels thwarted and attempts to take countering measures. Your schools further continue the process, however, so that the areas of curiosity and learning become separated for males and females. The “she” within the male does indeed represent portions of his personality that are being unexpressed — not because of any natural predominance of mental or emotional characteristics over others, but because of artificial specializations. The same applies to the “male” within the female. You have accepted this version of personhood, again, in line with your ideas about the nature of consciousness. Those ideas are changing, and as they do the species must accept its true personhood. As this happens, your understanding will allow you to glimpse the nature of the reality of the gods you have recognized through the ages. You will no longer need to clothe them in limited sexual guises. (Long pause at 11:07.) Heresy was considered female and subversive because it could threaten to destroy the frameworks set about the acceptable expression of religious fervor. The female elements in the Church were always considered suspect, and in the early times of Christianity there was some concern lest the Virgin become a goddess. There were offshoots of Christianity that did not survive, in which this was the case. Parallel developments in religion and government always echo the state of consciousness and its purposes. “Pagan” practices, giving far more leeway to sexual identification and expression, continued well into the 16th century, and the so-called occult underground heretical teachings tried to encourage the development of personal intuition. Any true psychic development of personality, however, is bound to lead to an understanding of the nature of the psyche that is far too large for any such confusion of basic identity with sexuality. The concept of reincarnation itself clearly shows the change of sexual orientation, and the existence of a self that is apart from its sexual orientation, even while it is also expressed through a given sexual stance. To a good extent, sexual beliefs are responsible for the blocking-out of reincarnational awareness. Such “memory” would necessarily acquaint you with experiences most difficult to correlate with your current sexual roles. Those other-sex existences are present to the psyche unconsciously. They are a portion of your personality. In so specifically identifying with your sex, therefore, you also inhibit memories that might limit or destroy that identification.

Two simple, better-living tips: Before sleep (or at any time) say to yourself, "I will only react to constructive suggestions." And "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better."

It must be something to do with these artists’ rich patrons and what their rich patrons’ view of the world was. Exclusivity and exclusive clubs don’t necessarily have to advocate fascism but it’s not surprising when they do. Marxism too came about through boys born of privilege forming exclusive clubs, reading and talking amongst themselves.

Frame any affirmation positively: "I will remain well and healthy" as opposed to "I will not get sick." Tell yourself "I will only react to constructive suggestions" and "Every day in every way I am getting better and better" and "I love myself unconditionally." Say at any time but before sleep gives affirmations an added "boost."
