“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Sensual data is not basically—underlined—dependent upon the physical body. The individual can receive sensual data in other ways. The senses are indeed often used by the inner self as a constant method of acquainting it with circumstances pertinent to the survival and interests of the physical body, but the inner self is not entirely dependent on them for its entire data by any means. The mind can bypass the senses, and receive its data in a more direct manner, translating what it perceives as automatically as it translates sensual data.

Now. Sooner or later we are going to have to discuss the ways in which what would appear to be sensual perception is made available to an individual when the physical body, with its senses, perceives an event at which it cannot be said to be present.

The agreement as to physical dimensions and so forth is reached precisely in the same manner that it usually is. The only unusual issue, to you, should not be that the event has not yet occurred, but that John Jones for example, from his chair, has been sensually aware of a situation that is obviously beyond the reaches of his physical senses.

(Then she found herself in a tub of warm water, and she was filled with sexual sensual feelings, especially in the vaginal area. [...]

[...]

In the same way, if your core belief stresses your spirituality to such an extent that it cuts off needed sensual expression, then it has become restrictive and will end up strangling, even, that spiritual experience that it was originally meant to express.

[...] And her richly sensual responses continued. [...]

[...] An emotional acceptance, distasteful as this may seem to Ruburt, is the answer here, and again a sensual immersion in the spacious present and in nature will refresh you here.

[...] Sensual immersion implies dropping momentarily the barriers between the ego and what the ego is enjoying. [...]

[...] His idea to have long hair (smile) at this particular point is beneficial, for it means to him the luxury of both sexuality and sense, sensual extravagance. [...]

One other small point: Ruburt should continue the psychic and sensual contact with his body, listening to the messages that it gives him. [...]

[...] The physical senses chime in together to give you a dramatic sensual chorus, each “voice” keeping perfect time with all the other sensual patterns so that as a rule there is harmony and a sense of continuity, with no embarrassing lapses.

[...] These are based upon the sensual alphabet, which itself emerges from nonsensual cordellas. [...]

[...] 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, and does not need any elaboration. [...]

[...] I do want to mention, however, that pain and suffering are also obviously vital, living sensations — and therefore are a part of the body’s repertoire of possible feelings and sensual experience. [...]

“What is this passion for nonbeing, this denial of sensual life, that drives so many gurus and self-proclaimed prophets? [...]

In codified form these outer senses still exist, and with codified memory any sensuous or sensual data that has been experienced may be experienced again. [...]

[...] This was followed by “a very sensual” episode she cannot recall at all. [...]

[...] So when I mention techniques that will allow you to perceive other fields of reality beside your own, I want you to realize that these should be used to enhance your enjoyment of that creaturehood, and to enrich your sensual as well as spiritual expression.

[...] It is possible however for the energy being used to act as a trigger that momentarily recreates sensual data under some conditions.

[...] It demands a peculiar and distinctive mixture of various kinds of consciousness, and the transformation of “nonphysical perception” into symbols and codes that will be sensually understood, though not directly experienced as in waking experience.

[...] Beside translating inner images into paintings, for example, you may unknowingly be translating sensually invisible sounds into images. [...]

The brain with its bodily connections must deal with the time lapses that sensual perception always imply. [...]

[...] In such a state you do not seem to experience yourself directly, and indeed in the midst of what you think of as the waking state you act in the most mechanical of fashions, following habit and being less aware of sensual stimuli.

[...] The soul creates the flesh for a reason, and physical existence for a reason, so none of this is to lead you to a distaste for physical life, nor toward a lack of appreciation for those sensual joys with which you are surrounded. [...]

Man’s creative alertness, his precise sensual focus in space and time, and his ability to react quickly to events, are of course all highly important characteristics. [...]
