Show Notes
Session 24, recorded on February 10, 1964. The material is channeled by the entity Seth through Jane Roberts (referred to as "Ruburt"), with her husband Robert Butts (referred to as "Joseph") taking notes.
--------------------------------------------
1. The Dynamics of Channeling and the Role of the Ego
The session begins with an exploration of Jane's ("Ruburt's") pre-session nervousness. Seth explains this as a natural reaction of the conscious ego when confronted with the free operation of the inner senses, a state to which it is unaccustomed.
2. Inner Senses vs. Outer Reality
A central theme of the session is the distinction between the familiar outer senses and the more potent, yet underdeveloped, inner senses. Seth argues that what is perceived as "reality" is merely an outer camouflage, while the inner senses provide a much stronger and more direct experience of existence.
3. The Critical Distinction: Psychological Time vs. Clock Time
Seth introduces "psychological time" as the foundational framework for experiencing the inner world and a key to developing the inner senses. He contrasts it sharply with the artificial construct of "clock time."
- The Nature of Psychological Time: Psychological time is the natural, fluid experience of duration that operates during sleep, dreams, and quiet states of consciousness. It is the medium in which inner visions and communications exist.
- The Artificiality of Clock Time: Seth distinguishes between "physical time" (the natural cycles of day, night, seasons, and tides) and "clock time," which he calls a recent and detrimental human invention.
4. The "Soul Fantasy" and the Fragmentation of the Self
The fear that led to the invention of clock time also gave rise to what Seth terms the "soul fantasy" or "spirit fantasy." This concept further entrenched the division within the human psyche.
5. Analysis of an Inner Sensory Experience
Seth provides a detailed analysis of a recent, overwhelming inner sensory event experienced by Joseph. He frames it as a valuable, albeit uncontrolled, first-hand encounter with pure inner data.
6. Practical Application: Utilizing Psychological Time
The session concludes with powerful instructions on the practical benefits of consciously utilizing psychological time in daily life.
