“The world as you see it is a reflection of what you are, a reflection not in glass but in three-dimensional reality. You project your thoughts, feelings, and expectations outward, then you perceive them as the outside reality.” #Seth
"In the position in which your culture places the intellect, it does see itself quite alone, separated both from other portions of the personality, from other creatures, and from nature itself." #Sethmaterial
"..the intellect can then realize that it does not have to go it all alone: Everything does not have to be reasoned out, even to be understood." #Sethmaterial (2/2)
"Now when you understand that intellectually, then the intellect can take it for granted that its own information is not all the information that you possess."
"It is not that you overuse the intellect as a culture, but that you rely upon it to the exclusion of all other faculties in your approach to life." #Sethmaterial
The old beliefs, of course, and the rational approach are everywhere reinforced, and so it does have a great weight. The magical approach has far greater weight if you use it and allow yourselves to operate in that fashion, for it has the weight of your basic natural orientation.
"True creativity comes from enjoying ‘the’ moments, which then fulfill themselves, and a part of the creative process is indeed the art of relaxation, the letting go, for that triggers magical activity..." #Sethmaterial
"I use the word methods because you understand it, but actually we are speaking about an approach to life, a magical or natural approach to life that is man’s version of the animal’s ‘literal’ instinctive behavior in the universe." #Sethmaterial
"..you fall into the frame of mind in which you think that each minute is valuable - but what you mean is that each minute must be a minute of production." #Sethmaterial#session1
“You will reincarnate whether or not you believe that you will. It is much easier if your theories fit reality, but if they do not, then you do not change reality one iota.” #Sethmaterial
“Nature realizes that there is no such thing as waste. Nothing in the stream of life is wasted, and everything, whether in your system of reality or not, is in the stream of life.” #Sethmaterial
“Cellular life is affected by your dreams. Healings can take place in the dream state, where events at another order of existence alter the cells themselves.” #Sethmaterial
“The concepts of God that you have, have gone hand-in-hand with the development of your consciousness. The ego, emerging, needed to feel its dominance and control, and so it imagined a dominant god apart from nature.” #Sethmaterial
“If you understood to begin with that you are a spirit, and therefore free of space and time yourself, then you could at least consider the possibility that some such messages were coming to you from other portions of your own reality.” #Sethmaterial
“All shrines are basically shrines to the authority of the self, regardless of the personifications or deifications involved. In certain terms each person is God, and each person is utterly anonymous, for God is completely personal and completely anonymous.” #Sethmaterial
“Those who looked entirely to money and position are forced, and will be, to question their beliefs. The troubles with the economy can be the answers to the problems of Western civilization.” #Sethmaterial
“You cannot be afraid of the opinions of the world unless you value its opinions above your own.
This is a difficult lesson to learn, and many live lives in which the entire question is never encountered.”
#Sethmaterial
"When you have completed a life then it is as if you have finished a living portrait of yourself, using the mediums of space and time. Then you have the painting to examine. The memories and realities within that portrait are yours to learn from (…)” #Sethmaterial
"Suggestions can change beliefs, for beliefs are only accepted habitual suggestions. When you use so-called positive suggestions you must implement them through action, but gently." #Sethmaterial
"..in many cases the drama—the gods or devils who seem to speak through the board, the sense of importance felt by the participators, the heightened emotional activity—all of these provide often, rich elements of experience otherwise lacking from a mundane daily existence." #Seth
"Normal angry feelings are natural methods of communication, ways of stabilizing situations. They serve to prevent strong aggression or violence, both in animals and men." #Sethmaterial
