Thought Dynamics refers to the study of ideas and their application in the creation of reality.
Seth’s ideas on a safe universe were gathered and collated by Lynda Madden Dahl. You can find her Seth-related books by querying books by Lynda Madden Dahl.

SETH ON THE SAFE UNIVERSE!
The one-line official consciousness with which you are familiar, says: The world is not safe. I cannot trust it. Nor can I trust the conditions of experience or the conditions of my own existence. Nor can I trust myself.
You have an entire civilization and world set up about those beliefs I have just given you: that the universe is not safe; that you must defend yourselves from enemies that come from without, and worst of all, from enemies that are within.
And so indeed do you feel uneasy, and set up your barriers, and run as fast as you can, in whatever way given you, from those enemies that are the result of a one-line official kind of consciousness.
The one-line stage of consciousness was necessary… But that stage contained within it its own impetus. It set up challenges that could not be solved at that stage of consciousness, and that would automatically lead you into other strands of awareness. Only then can you say – and listen, now – ‘I live in a safe universe.’
The belief in an unsafe universe sets up certain habits of resistance, and more practically, of self-protection. The resistance is protective. It shows itself in fears that seem perfectly realistic, and indeed highly practical.
In an unsafe universe you run your personal life along certain lines. You do not trust good fortune; indeed, it seems practical not to trust it. It does not seem to belong in an unsafe universe.
In an unsafe universe, you believe that something good will be fought over.
You are so used to feeling unsafe that you consider alarm of one kind or another as a realistic approach to life.
The idea of prevention is always based upon fear – for you do not want to prevent something that is joyful.
You try to say, “The universe is safe,” and then you watch the news on television or read the newspaper and you say, “What lie is this? How can the universe be safe when I read about wholesale murder, war, trickery and greed?
You cannot say “I live in a safe universe, but I am threatened by the economic problems of my state.” Move to Pennsylvania or Timbuktu and it will make no difference, because the threat will follow you and erupt in one way or another while you believe in that system.
As long as you believe that you dwell in a universe that is a threat, you must defend yourself against it.
As long as you believe that the self is flawed…you must also defend yourself against yourself, and how can you then trust the voice of the psyche?
When people are convinced that the self is untrustworthy or that the universe is not safe, instead of luxuriating in the use of their abilities, exploring the physical and mental environments, they begin to pull in their realities – to contract their abilities, to over-control their environments. They become frightened people.
When you begin to realize that you do indeed live in a safe universe, these patterns of reaction begin to break up.
The safe universe becomes “practical,” where before it was not considered so. This means a great deal of energy is released.
You cannot equivocate. You cannot say, “I live in a safe universe but but but but” anything. The threat will follow you and erupt in one way or another.
You do live in a safe universe. You do. You need not believe that the world of the newspapers does not exist, but you must believe that the world cannot threaten you.
By such a belief you so attract probabilities that you actually miss the threats that appear at one level of reality. In so doing, you not only help yourself but others as well, for they perceive your safety, and look for the reasons.
The panic reaction you sometimes imagine helps remind you of the panic in which many people spend whole portions of their lifetimes. The way to help them is to perfect your own craft – your beliefs – so that others can use them also.
You live in a safe universe. This is not only a valid psychic truth, but is the basis for cellular integrity.
You need not say, “The universe is safe,” for, at your present levels that will only enrage you! You say instead, I live in a safe universe, and so you shall.
Ruburt said somewhere, “Sometimes you lean into the universe and feel it give.” It is indeed yielding. It is not against you, nor is the world.
You are each gradually leaving the official level of consciousness behind, in that its beliefs no longer serve as your criteria of reality.
That reality exists, but it is not yours any longer.
You are tuning into another channel, experiencing a reality that is not only quite as real, but presents a far truer picture.
It is as if you were on a hilltop, surrounded by clear brilliant air. You could still look down at the foggy valley below, and see that it existed. You would also realize that you were not down there anymore.
You cannot be hounded from one level of reality to another by a fear that you do not understand. You cannot be threatened in this life by so-called past existences.
The universe is with you and not against you.
Your fellow men are with you and not against you. When you realize that, then you reach those portions of your fellow men that are with you.
The universe does not give up on any of its creatures.
(Seth, humorously): I said it was a safe universe. I never said it was a perfect one.
Some people always feel safe and protected even when the events of their lives do not seem favorable.
Regardless of their own doubts and worries, such people feel themselves supported, and feel that in the end everything will work out to their advantage.
The greatest possible development allows the greatest possible security, for such development shows itself physically and in all other manners.
Abilities must be ultimately tied in with your greatest inner aspirations – not tied down by your fears.
Within yourself you recognize the validity of your own being. It is inviolate. It cannot be invaded or superseded by others, unless you acquiesce to such circumstances.
There is nothing in mental or physical reality that you ever need fear, for you are filled with the vitality of All That Is, and it protects you. You must simply allow it to do so.
A state of grace is provided you in which you can take action without care, without the anticipation of impediments.
When you thoroughly understand what is meant by the entire safe universe concept, then the physical, cultural climate is understood as a medium through which the ideal can be expressed. The ideal is meaningless if it is not physically manifest to one degree or another. The ideal seeks expression.
The safe universe search itself would lead to a completely different set of values and a new belief system.
Great job, Lynda!
Don’t you just love it? It gives anyone who reads it a greater sense of peace, safety and love. Many of us grow up angry and defensive because we bought into ideas that tell us we’re bad and we can’t trust ourselves, or one another.
Seth is right. It’s up to us as individuals to think and act our way out of this dilemma. If no one else will help us, we must, at least, help ourselves. This is the challenge before us. Are we up to it? Of course we are, or we wouldn’t even be considering it!
Happy Trails,

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having (creating) a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
“How you define yourself and the world around you, forms your intent, which, in turn, forms your reality.” – Seth
In other words, we create reality from what we choose to think and feel about ourselves and All That Is.
If we don’t consciously choose our beliefs, we unconsciously absorb them from our surroundings.
If our beliefs create reality, can we afford not to question them?
The more we love and understand ourselves, the better we treat ourselves and the world.
Blessings of love and understanding be to us all!
The secrets of the universe lie hidden in the shadows of our experience. Look for them!
