Quote and Reflection

You must realize that relaxation is also a part of the creative process. Left alone, you would do “the right thing.”

—Seth, The Magical Approach (p.32)

Your thoughts blossom into events. If you think the world is evil, you will meet with events that seem evil. There are no accidents in cosmic terms, or in terms of the world as you know it. Your beliefs grow as surely in time and space as flowers do. When you realize this you can even feel their growing.

—Seth, The Natural of Personal Reality (p.28)

The inborn leanings or attitudes

1. I am an excellent creature, a valuable part of the universe in which I exist.
2. My existence enriches all other portions of life, even as my own being is enhanced by the rest of creation.
3. It is good, natural, and safe for me to grow and develop and use my abilities, and by so doing I also enrich all other portions of life.
4. I am enternally couched and supported by the universe of which I am a part, and I exist whether or not that existence is psysically expressed.
5. By nature I am a good deserving creature, and all of life's elements and parts are also of good intent.
6. All of my imperfections, and all of the imperfections of other creatures, are redeemed in the greater scheme of the universe in which I have my being.

These attitudes are inbred in the smallest microscopic portions of the body -- a part of each atom and cell and organ, and they serve to trigger all of the body's responses that promote growth and fulfillment. Infants are not born with an inbred fear of their environment, or of other creatures. They are instead immersed in feelings of well-being, vitality, and exuberance. They take it for granted that their needs will be met, and that the universe is well-disposed toward them. They feel a part of their environment.

They do not come into life with feelings of rage, or anger, and basically they do not experience doubts or fears. Birth is experienced in terms of self-discovery, and includes the sensation of selfhood gently rising and unfolding from the secret heart of the universe.

—Seth, The Way Toward Health (p.68)

Your body actually lives on large quantities of joyful expectation.

Regardless of your circumstances, age or sex, you can indeed start over, rearousing from within yourself those earlier, more innocent expectations, feelings and beliefs. It is much better if you can image this endeavor more in the light of children's play, in fact, rather than think of it as a deadly serious adult pursuit.

—Seth, The Way Toward Health (p.249)

Because of the simultaneous nature of time, beliefs can be changed in the present moment.

There is no need to search endlessly into the past of this life or any other, for the "original" causes for beliefs. Making a change in the present of a certain kind will automatically alter all beliefs "across the board," so to speak. It is important, however, that you do not strain too hard to achieve results, but allow yourself some leeway. You react to your beliefs habitually, often unthinkingly, and in usual ideas of time, and in your experience of it—you must allow yourself "some time" to change that habitual behavior.

—Seth Book, The Way Toward Health (P.249)

Value fulfillment is the process of consciousness seeking its utmost potential. It is the inner desire that gives meaning to life on an individual's terms. It is the impetus behind all expression and existence.

Each person's value fulfillment is based on whatever the individual thinks is important. When you follow your inner 'blueprint,' you are truly in touch with your own value fulfillment. By using your innate abilities, by fulfilling your values, you add to the quality of your life and that of the human community and beyond.

Every atom and particle has consciousness, and naturally seeks to improve upon itself in a constant state of becoming. That becoming is based on an excitement of spontaneity and play, transformation and durability as well as fulfilling the desire to be more than what it once was.

“It is a gift, a boon, an exquisite pleasure, to become physically alive on your functioning planet, couched securely within your dusk and dawn, your existence supported by the seasons and by an overall operation of spontaneous order.”

—Cited in front matter of Dreams, Evolution, and Value Fulfillment, Vol.I, From Session 929. November 1980.

“The inner senses are not important because they release clairvoyant or telepathic abilities, but because they reveal to us our own independence from physical matter, and let us recognize our unique, individual multidimensional identity. Properly utilized, they also show us the miracle of physical existence and our place in it. We can live a wiser, more productive, happier physical life because we begin to understand why we are here, individually and as a people.”

—Jane Roberts: Psychic Politics

“The universe is of good intent.” It is automatically predisposed, again, toward the creation of “good” events. I put the word “good” in quotes for now because of your misconceptions about the nature of good and evil…

—Seth: The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, Session 825

…each individual is involved in an art of living. There are different themes, instruments, melodies – but existence, like great art, cannot be confined to simple definitions.”

—Seth: The Unknown Reality, Vol. 2, Session 735

“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.”

—Jane Roberts: Oversoul Seven and the Museum of Time, page 128.

“Excellence! There are no standards but your own. You cannot compare yourself against others. For your own abilities are like no others, and dimensions of your own greatness cannot fit in the standards of another. But you know what excellence means within yourself, and it means truth to the heart of yourself.”

—Watkins: Conversations With Seth, Vol. One, App. 4

“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.”

—Seth: The Magical Approach, Session 1.
