We were to create a list of beliefs we have about ourselves as we become aware of them.<\/p>\n<p>I think the exercise is a great starting point for us to come to understanding ourselves and what it is we think of beliefs for\u00a0these affect all that\u00a0we experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;You are in physical existence to learn and understand that <em>your energy<\/em>, translated into feelings, thoughts and emotions, causes <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">all<\/span>\u00a0experience. There are no exceptions.<br \/>\nOnce you understand this you have only to learn to examine the nature of your beliefs, for these will automatically cause you to feel and think in certain fashions. Your emotions follow your beliefs. It is not the other way around.<br \/>\n&#8230; You must realize that any idea you accept as <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">truth<\/span> is a belief that <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">you<\/span> hold. You must, then, take the next step and say, &#8216;It is not necessarily true, even though I believe it.&#8217; You will, I hope, learn to disregard all beliefs that imply\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">basic<\/span> limitations.\u00a0&#8221; NPR Session 614 Pg 22<\/p>\n<p>After just a little reading and contemplation on the subject of belief, it becomes clear that everything we <em>believe<\/em> about reality is a belief and part of the\u00a0complete body of beliefs that define ourselves and what we think is real or true of reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thinking involves Belief<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To put it another way; everything we <strong><em>think<\/em>\u00a0of as\u00a0<em>true of<\/em> reality<\/strong> <em>IS<\/em>\u00a0a belief. That pretty much sums up all beliefs and all thinking pretty much sums up all that we are personally.<\/p>\n<p>Even if we think about things we do NOT believe or think about things we\u00a0consider\u00a0false, if we are thinking it is true that they are false in regards to\u00a0reality, we are thinking about our beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0belief that something is false, is a belief.<br \/>\nA\u00a0belief that something is true\u00a0is a belief.<br \/>\nA\u00a0belief that a thought\u00a0is a belief, is a belief.<br \/>\nA belief that some event is imminent or about to happen, is a belief.<br \/>\nA belief that we place a value upon something, is a belief.<br \/>\nValues and our desires that reflect them, are beliefs.<br \/>\nBeliefs of proximity, or of what\u00a0we expect to soon arrive, all manners and types\u00a0of expectation, are\u00a0beliefs.<br \/>\nThe belief that thoughts and beliefs precede what is experienced, is a belief.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paradox<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If we attempt\u00a0a belief that isn&#8217;t true of or consistent with the rest of what we believe, it must somewhere reveal a logical error. Inconsistencies, irreconcilable conflicts\u00a0and paradoxes indicate the presence of an incomplete erroneous belief or beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>The belief that what is experienced precedes our\u00a0thoughts and beliefs, is such a belief. This belief holds a paradox.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0belief that we only form beliefs as conclusions after\u00a0thinking about what we <strong><em>HAVE experienced<\/em><\/strong> (observed experience) is another way to state that\u00a0belief.<\/p>\n<p>However such a belief holds a paradox; for if beliefs are conclusions about what we experience as reality and that experience must precede belief, where did we get the first experience upon which to form our\u00a0first belief. Where did the object we first observed come from?<\/p>\n<p>If we think to answer: our first experience came with birth to\u00a0our parents and of such we accepted our observation as the experience from which we concluded our beliefs of reality, where did our parents\u00a0get their first experiences and finally when we ask where of every precedent and finally\u00a0the VERY first, we are back to our original question with no resolution to the paradox.<\/p>\n<p>Of such is all thinking that bases reality upon the idea of an\u00a0&#8220;out there&#8221; reality preceding observed experience and belief conclusions. The concept of precedents in causality relationship is inherent with all objects observed within\u00a0&#8220;out there&#8221;. All within the &#8220;out there&#8221; is riddled with the same paradox, if we accept the notion that an experience with\u00a0&#8220;out there&#8221; reality must\u00a0precede the conclusion of belief.<\/p>\n<p>Only when we realize that we form our &#8220;out there&#8221; objective reality as an expression or projection of subjective belief do we find relief from the paradoxes inherent with\u00a0every object. Only then can we answer the question, &#8220;Where did the first observed object come from&#8221;, &#8220;How did the first object gain\u00a0awareness of observing an experience? Only such\u00a0solves the\u00a0infamous riddle that best demonstrate the objective reality paradox; &#8220;which was\u00a0first, the chicken or the egg?&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>All object relationships of causality (cause and effect, precedent and antecedent) were first conceived of in a mind. Every object having a causal relationship to another object was conceived in that relationship as a mental construct with both objects coming into existence at the same time; the chicken and the egg relationship was an idea before they were both expressed or projected into observable reality. The subjective mind conceives of and then\u00a0observe the\u00a0mental construction comprised of the\u00a0chicken and egg. Such it is with all objects causally\u00a0related within our realities. Subjective reality\u00a0and the mental constructions based upon it always precede the experience of observed object reality. It is NEVER the other way around.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beliefs\u00a0reflect what we\u00a0value<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thinking is always performed within the context of forming or\u00a0concluding beliefs regarding our experience of reality and the aspects of reality that affect that which we value. In concluding beliefs, all\u00a0thoughts eventually lead to the\u00a0effects such\u00a0beliefs have to affect those\u00a0experiences of\u00a0reality that we hold of greatest value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thoughts\u00a0of Limitation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In any case, the most damning of beliefs are those we\u00a0think of as concluding limitations to ourselves or our abilities; that there are limitations to our experiencing what we value. If it is true that all beliefs are merely ideas we hold of reality and then experience, limiting beliefs should be avoided.\u00a0We must adopt the stance of rejecting all limitations to valued experience, if we are to experience the fulfillment\u00a0of our\u00a0most valued potential\u00a0and\u00a0creative natures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beliefs are thoughts about reality we have decided or\u00a0concluded as\u00a0REAL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">One of my greatest realizations is that all beliefs are formed or concluded according to\u00a0what we have already decided true. The conclusions we make to form our beliefs reflect\u00a0nothing more than decisions that we have sufficient references in regards to some contemplated thought to conclude the thought consistent, congruent or true of what we already believe, what we have previously decided or realized as true.<\/p>\n<p>Thoughts play with or manipulate beliefs as we psychologically recognize new\u00a0beliefs, contemplate the interrelationships between the old and new and judge the\u00a0value of the new belief to help us realize what we value. This process is called value fulfillment and it is the foundation of all acts taken in deciding or concluding the\u00a0beliefs we realize. This psychological action is the nature of all consciousness as conscious\u00a0contemplation seeks to find valuable discoveries and insights from what such already believes or holds true of\u00a0reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Value and Value Fulfillment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thinking about beliefs helps us find value in being conscious of our\u00a0existence as we recognize that those discoveries define the boundaries of our own unique and\u00a0individual personality. We find value in identifying with those\u00a0features and qualities with which we discern a preference.<\/p>\n<p>This is true whether we subjectively experience value or think in terms other perspectives and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">objects within physical\u00a0reality<\/span> as having <em>characteristics\u00a0<\/em>of<em> quality, locality,\u00a0<\/em><em>quantity and space, or having placement in relationship\u00a0(time or\u00a0sequence)<\/em><em>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>O<\/em>bjects have all kinds of properties identified in\u00a0our\u00a0beliefs; objects may\u00a0have relationship aspects such as\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">locality<\/span> identifying <em>where<\/em>\u00a0they are within time and space and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">causality<\/span>\u00a0relationship aspects identifying <em>cause<\/em> such as where and how they originate and their\u00a0<em>effects<\/em>\u00a0as to what they affect.<\/p>\n<p>To say it another way: In\u00a0objective reality, objects are\u00a0involved in action events. Events imply\u00a0action with action understood in terms of finding\u00a0value\u00a0and\u00a0value fulfillment. We have locality\u00a0events where\u00a0objects are\u00a0involved in actions or movements\u00a0taking place within time and space. We also have causality actions where these same objects\u00a0are affected or cause effects to occur with other objects. But always, object constructions are for the purpose of providing insights into the actions and actions within actions <em>where in we realize value<\/em> as we cognize\u00a0and recognize the different perspectives available through evolving mental constructs of our subjective being.<\/p>\n<p>With all object events, action occurs. In\u00a0every action event there is a\u00a0psychological change or psychological action that occurs. This is the action Seth talks about. \u00a0Whether an event involves a\u00a0locality or\u00a0causality relationship when an\u00a0action occurs, there is always a psychological change with a component of\u00a0value being discerned subjectively.<\/p>\n<p>As we explore personality, that act results in discoveries that change and add value to being. With every new realizing action, personality changes. Personality is in fact action. Actions occur within every action and is\u00a0beyond complete comprehension for those parts of our psychology focused solely upon expressions of action in objective reality, locality and causality. The psychological effects\u00a0of subjective action far exceed the expressions visible in objective reality as personality changes far more than can be expressed or\u00a0projected into objective reality as\u00a0physically observable action\u00a0events.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Greater Consciousness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yet we do NOT need to focus solely upon objective reality. There is a much greater subjective reality of personality with beliefs that are not limited to aspects expressible objectively. \u00a0We are not actors acting, we\u00a0ARE the action. The <em>Action<\/em> IS who we really are. Actions\u00a0are the essence of what we are and are inseparable from personal identity. Actions\u00a0do not describe us; they are us. We are not the thinker behind the thought nor the experiencer of\u00a0the experiences. We are the thoughts. We are the experienced event. We are the value fulfilled in the discernment and conclusion of our most\u00a0valued personality preferences.<\/p>\n<p>With subjective reality, we realize being and the realization IS us. We discern preference and the discernment IS us. Objective reality is simply an attempt to change perspective on our\u00a0subjective beings as we mentally create projected\u00a0perspectives where we can perceive ourselves as objects that experience actions originating from outside of our selves. In these projections we see them affecting us and call it effect and then look for an external source to call it <em><strong>cause<\/strong> <\/em>without giving any thought that we ARE the\u00a0cognitive action, in every recognition and realization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expression is impossible without employing the objective perspective<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yet NOTHING, even the objective perspective is ever realized consciously until\u00a0we mentally deconstruct the\u00a0observed objective symbolic external relationships into our\u00a0<strong><em>being<\/em> <\/strong>and\u00a0call it <em>subjective personal meaning<\/em>. Of course, the Calling of\u00a0our being\u00a0&#8220;<em>subjective personal meaning&#8221; is an objective expression <\/em>for expression is impossible without employing the mentally constructed objective perspective.<\/p>\n<p>It is impossible to express anything without employing the objective perspective.\u00a0<strong><em>Being<\/em> <\/strong>just IS; <em>being<\/em>\u00a0is the result of every\u00a0consciously directed awareness. <em>Being<\/em> is the thought that\u00a0recognizes the\u00a0cognitive event. \u00a0Yet even in these expressions, Expression, like making espresso involves the &#8220;pushing to outside&#8221; the essence. In this instance it is the pushing to outside of the cognitive action. In cognitive expression, recognition becomes the cause and\u00a0realization its natural effect.<\/p>\n<p>In every\u00a0sense, <em>subjective reality is all that is\u00a0<strong>unequivocally\u00a0real<\/strong><\/em>, since\u00a0objective reality is only and always a mental construct expression of subjective reality. <strong><em>Subjective<\/em> reality<\/strong> implies individual interpretation and personal identification. Since what one\u00a0personally identifies with is subject to previous decisions as to what is valued and discerned of value as each of us\u00a0comprehend our\u00a0own personal identities and form our own personalities, I must ask: \u00a0can my choices be considered any more <strong><em>real<\/em><\/strong> than yours or any more real than those\u00a0of any other conscious beings? \u00a0I think not. We create our own realities, there is no more basic\u00a0truth.<\/p>\n<p>Of belief, the only obvious conclusion is: What I value is real and reflects my <em>beliefs<\/em> AND what you value is real and reflects yours. My beliefs are real to me. Yours are real to you. They most certainly will\u00a0not be the same.<\/p>\n<p>What I believe is True IS and will remain so until I recognize, by my own personal decision, and only by my decision, that what I thought of as\u00a0IS now ISn&#8217;t! \u00a0It may surprise you that this\u00a0I do almost daily. I constantly change my beliefs as I conclude new realizations from\u00a0new recognitions.<\/p>\n<p>These realizations then\u00a0appear as new experiences different from yesterday. The proof is in the experience. The experience is\u00a0the proof that confirms\u00a0the creative realization. The creative realization precedes the experience. The creative realization occurred as\u00a0I\u00a0decided to recognize and believe the realization the experience should be reasonably expected. \u00a0The decision to recognize I possessed sufficient evidence to conclude the realization of expectation provided all the intention clarification required for my inner self to accept the suggestion to\u00a0make it in experience.<br \/>\nI believe I affect my experiences of tomorrow by the\u00a0beliefs and realizations I hold\u00a0today. I have no evidence to the contrary! I understand all my beliefs and realizations reflect the conclusions and decisions I make about such beliefs and\u00a0realizations today and such are always made independent of the events I know and expect I will experience\u00a0tomorrow and later. I have no evidence to the contrary. Therefore it is only reasonable to conclude I never wait and do not need to wait till tomorrow to conclude any\u00a0decisions and conclusions\u00a0about what I will\u00a0belief and realize. Sufficient are the evidences of past conclusions without precognition that I can decide to\u00a0conclude I hold\u00a0beliefs independent of cognitive\u00a0experience. That cognitive experience always conforms to beliefs realized\u00a0there is sufficient references to conclude the expectation of same!<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s my reality and I am sticking with it.<br \/>\nFor you to join me, you need but &#8211; BelieveIt 2 RealizeIt!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional\u00a0Thoughts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">False and Limiting Beliefs &#8211; I believe these adversely affect the quality of\u00a0Objective reality Experience<\/p>\n<p>Today I am most physically affected by and am focused upon <strong><em>improving personal energy<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I could just have\u00a0given\u00a0focus to: I have a <strong>loss of hearing<\/strong>.<br \/>\nI have other <strong>physically debilitating ailments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I believe as with all health issues, the cause is\u00a0pretty much the same metaphysically; we have impeded the natural flow of energy from our inner self through rejection and refusal to allow its&#8217; objective expression.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is, I believe: \u00a0We have\u00a0solutions within feasible\u00a0reach personally of\u00a0our own\u00a0conscious ego&#8217;s and intellects.

The energies meant to support and sustain present\u00a0reality are\u00a0distorted into other hopefully more valued physical expressions.<\/p>\n<p>In creative expression, energies are impeded from where the same were\u00a0originally intended and those energies are\u00a0redirected to affect creative changes identified as valued and expected by the physically focused\u00a0outer ego and conscious intellect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adverse Effects<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Impeded energy <strong><em>isn&#8217;t just stopped<\/em><\/strong> from flowing to aid where it was\u00a0intended by\u00a0our inner being, energy always\u00a0flows to affect some kind of expression, even the expression of impeding rejection action. Inner self directed energy once directed toward expression always finds\u00a0expression. Expression is inevitable. Our conscious involvement\u00a0in the matter is simply a choice of direction; where and how should the energy be expressed?<\/p>\n<p>With\u00a0our bodies cells and organs, with those we rely upon for health and wellness, when energy is impeded but not consciously directed to what is currently valued, the body ceases to function with the natural grace and ease it was intended and we experience such impeded and misdirected energy as disease.<\/p>\n<p>Impeded energy is always directed by suggestion (the conscious\u00a0reflection of our expectancy). The direction of all physical expression is the sole role and responsibility of our physical focused conscious selves. We use our conscious intellect to identify what we value and expect while\u00a0our\u00a0ego self is tasked with discriminating a\u00a0focus upon our most valued\u00a0expectations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">You get what you focus upon, there is no more important rule.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, I fail that ego role when I focus upon expectations I do NOT value.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I am alone and lonely, no one values, appreciates or cares for my\u00a0creative expressions<\/li>\n<li>I\u00a0have limited energy, barely enough to minimally function physically<\/li>\n<li>I limit my available energy by my conscious impeding actions &#8211;\n<ul>\n<li>Refusing to allow expressions that I reject as unbecoming of myself or character.<br \/>\nI shouldn&#8217;t yell at my wife or express anger for treating me with rejection, meanness or unkindness.<br \/>\nA husband should always nurture and constructively cultivate in his relationship as husband and father.

The ego just conveniently ignores origin and first cause as with all first cause &#8216;chicken or egg&#8217; paradoxes. Ego adopts the stance: Don&#8217;t ask, and if you insist: I don&#8217;t know! Give me a break, Leave me alone! Talk to the hand, I am ignoring you now! Such actions on the part of the Ego are impeding actions. If the suggestions of the inner self are important enough to the inner-self, such become\u00a0the origins of ill ease, disease, poor health and less than pleasing or desired experiences in\u00a0reality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Additional Audio Study: \u00a0Suggestion, Expectation and Healing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><strong>Early Sessions Volume 4:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session149-150.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session149-150<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session151.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session151<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session152.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session152<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session153-154.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session153-154<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session155-156.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session155-156<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session157.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session157<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session158a.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session158a<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session158b.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session158b<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session159-160.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session159-169<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session161.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session 161<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session162.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session 162<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session164.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session 164<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session165.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session 165<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session166.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session 166<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session167-168.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session 167-168<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session169.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session 169<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session173.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session173<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session174.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session174<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session177.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session177<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/believeit.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Seth-ES4-Session178.mp3\">Seth-ES4-Session178<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Withing the above sessions we find:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ES 149-150 Reality then is a result of the focus of energy and attention.\u00a0(Pg3)<br \/>\nTo make this clear, I have said that action exists within limitless perspectives, and that you are mainly familar with it as it is materialized along a single line of continuity within the physical system. You experience action then as if you were moving along a single line, each dot on the line representing a moment of your time. But at the imaginary point on your line that represents any given moment, action moves out in all directions. &#8230; The particular point, in one manner, is being pursued by you in such a slow fashion that it appears to be a series of happenings strung out in a thread of continuity. You experience action as one happening after another, not because \u00a0(Pg5)\u00a0of the nature of action itself but because of the nature of your own structure and perception.<br \/>\nThis is in itself, you see, a form of value fulfillment, since you are perceiving one simultaneous action as if it were a series of separate actions. You are delving into one action, and within it continually creating action within action. This is however, or this can be, while fulfilling, also limiting. (Pg6)<\/li>\n<li>ES150 &#8211; All realities are the result of psychic organizations.<\/li>\n<li>ES151 &#8211; It is only the ego that steps from moment to moment &#8230; it is only the ego who probes so slowly into simultaneous action, perceiving it bit by bit, sip by sip. (Pg11).<br \/>\nThe inner ego is that part of the inner self which is closely allied with the outer ego, in that it is to some degree a director of function and activity. But it is not sharply focused. It looks inward.<br \/>\nThe inner ego looks inward, yet in looking inward it looks outward toward those vast portions of the self, &#8230; into other fields of perception, or other moment points. &#8230;<br \/>\nAction is perceived differently, &#8230; It is speeded up or slowed down according to the scope of perception. (Pg12) &#8230;<br \/>\nThere is much that mankind as such will never learn, simply because such knowledge is beyond the reach of the ego. But there is much that you do know that you can learn. (Pg13) &#8230;\u00a0value fulfillment, is the reason behind the existence of all systems (Pg15) \u00a0&#8211; &#8230;<br \/>\nYou must be open, even to maintain the strength of the ego itself.\u00a0(Pg16)<\/li>\n<li>ES152 &#8211; The personal subconscious and the ego are indeed equal partners in the formation of any given present personality. (Pg 17)<br \/>\nThe subconscious, even the personal subconscious, is much freer from the moment point than is the ego, and it can inform the ego of important developments which can be of great help.<br \/>\nThis sort of communication also comes close to action in a fairly pure state. There is also another result of such relative ease of communication between the ego and the subconscious &#8230; will have little need to make its wishes known in other, perhaps less pleasant ways. <strong><em>Illnesses and various minor and major physical symptoms<\/em><\/strong> are often caused as the subconscious tries to speak out, in an effort to make itself heard by the unheeding conscious mind. (Pg18) &#8230;<br \/>\n&#8230; the easier the communication between the ego and the personal subconscious the greater the greater the strengh, abilities, potentialities and value fulfillment of the present personality as a whole.<br \/>\n&#8230; It is the failure of the ego to listen to the inner voice of the subconscious that cause many difficulties. (Pg19)<br \/>\nThe desire to set yourself apart from emotion, and to cooly appraise it, is merely an indication of the ego&#8217;s characteristic nature. It tries to separate itself from action, to view it objectively, and to see itself as something apart from action.<br \/>\nSince it is itself action, such an attempt is basically doomed to failure. Yet the very attempt causes the formation of the ego. \u00a0Once this apparent separate ego is formed, and once a fair amount of stabiity is maintained, and a new identity arrived at, the initial desire and energy will maintain the ego in its position during its existence in any field.<br \/>\n&#8230; Such emotional experience actually strengthens not only the ego, but it opens communications between the ego and the subconscious, and allows for a much greater flow of energy from the primary source of action. (Pg 22)<\/li>\n<li>ES153 The inner ego is formed about characteristics and abilities that have been dominant in previous personalities, characteristics\u00a0which the entity has developed through its experience in various lives.<br \/>\nThe inner ego is focused inward, with as much intensity as the outer ego is focused outward. &#8230; The <strong><em>inner ego<\/em><\/strong>, however while conscious of itself, has returned to a subjective position <strong><em>within action, <\/em><\/strong>and views itself as a <strong><em>part of action. <\/em><\/strong>The <strong><em>outer ego, <\/em><\/strong>if you recall, views itself as <strong><em>apart from, <\/em><\/strong>or<strong> <em>separate from, action. (Pg23)<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong>The inner ego has experienced, then, objectivity, and has returned to a subjective state. It is a relative storehouse of energy, and it is capable of aiding the outer ego when certain conditions arise. The inner ego may be termed the unfamiliar &#8220;I&#8221;. In many cases it is the I who dreams, bringing valuable information to the personal subconscious, information that may be then used for the benefit of the outer ego itself.<br \/>\n&#8230; Tension is actions&#8217;s inherent impulse to know itself through further action. All actions are the result of tension. (Pg24)<\/li>\n<li>Seth Material<br \/>\nThe conscious ego rises, indeed, out of the \u201cunconscious,\u201d but the unconscious, being the creator of the ego, is necessarily far more conscious than its offspring. The ego is simply not conscious enough to be able to contain the vast knowledge <span class=\"text_exposed_show\">that belongs to the inner conscious self from which it springs. It is this inner self, out of massive knowledge and the <strong>unlimited scope of its consciousness<\/strong>, that <strong><em>forms the physical world<\/em><\/strong> and provides stimuli to keep the outer ego constantly at the job of awareness. It is the inner self, here termed the inner ego, that <strong>organizes, initiates, projects, and controls the EE<\/strong> (electromagnetic energy) units of which we have been speaking, <em><strong>transforming energy into objects, into matter<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0<\/span>Roberts, Jane (2011-06-30). The Seth Material (Kindle Location 5073).<\/li>\n<li>ES154 &#8211; Any perception instantly changes the perceiver. It also changes the thing perceived, (Pg33)<\/li>\n<li>ES 156 &#8211; Energy cannot be retained. It must be discharged. The very attempt to deny an action automatically changes the nature of the action, and also changes the nature of the individual who attempts to deny it.<strong> All energy seeks to materialize itsel<\/strong>f, which is another way of saying that action must act.<br \/>\nIn the psychological realm it goes without saying that a repressed emotion is never really repressed, since action cannot be retained. It must change. The cause of such difficulties lies not in the repression of an emotion, for this is impossible. The emotion in one way or another, will out, but the difficulty lies in the attempt to repress the emotion. This attempt is itself action. (Pg38) &#8230;<br \/>\nAn action has reality, as you know, within every possible field of activity. An emotion has an electrical and chemical structure. This is <strong>extremely important<\/strong>. It is not a structure that takes up space as you know it, obviously, but it is a structure nevertheless, and could be compared to the appearance of dream locations.<br \/>\nEmotions are a quite natural <em>portion of action<\/em>, and left to themselves are fluid. They have electrical validity, and shape. When an attempt is made to <em>reject an emotion<\/em>, this does not affect the emotion half as much as it <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>affects the individual involved<\/em><\/span>. The act of rejection in itself is <em>detrimental<\/em> and doomed to failure, &#8230;<br \/>\nWhen the ego however refuses to accept an emotion as a part of itself, it tries one of two actions.<br \/>\nEither it attempts to return the emotion to a subjective state, or it attempts to objectify it further away from itself. In either case the <strong><em>ego is at fault for not assimilating or accepting the emotion<\/em><\/strong>. (Pg 39) &#8230;<br \/>\nThe strength of the ego actually depends on the flexibility with which can accept and assimilate ever more complex actions, and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">give them a unity<\/span> of its own. An action or emotion not accepted by the ego, but nevertheless a part of it, <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>will always drain energy<\/em><\/span><\/strong> from the main core of the ego, despite the ego&#8217;s denial, and energy that cannot there be used by the ego for the purposes of its own purposeful action.<br \/>\nThe <strong>rejected emotion<\/strong>, in other words, <strong>will express itself in any case<\/strong>, but it will do so then as a rebel, outside of the organizational directives of the ego itself. (Pg40) &#8230;<br \/>\nThe ego itself attempts as its function to be the director and center of other functions. The ego, while considering itself apart from action, is obviously not apart from it.<br \/>\n&#8230; so it is possible for the ego itself to achieve the experience of freedom from time and space, if it would only allow itself for a short while to <em>relax the intensity of its objective focus<\/em>.<br \/>\nIt could still do this and retain its own nature, merely by <em>allowing<\/em> into its awareness the reality of <strong>other actions as a part of its self-image<\/strong>. ,,, no basic reason why the subconscious and the ego cannot communicate to a much larger extent than it is now usual. Such communication would <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">result in the acceptance of additional energy<\/span><\/strong> and action by the ego, and an <em>expansion of the ego&#8217;s self-image<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>ES 157 (Under construction)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Within you is the ability to change your ideas about reality and about yourself, to create a personal living experience that is fulfilling to yourself and others.\u00a0NPR Session 614 Pg 24 Then Seth gave us one of the first exercises provided in his book &#8220;The Nature of Personal Reality&#8221;.
