Seth: "Better to be spontaneous and spiritual ruffians, than to sit solemnly following beliefs that you do not understand and disciplines that are not your own and that do not spring through the natural order of your own spontaneity.

賽斯：最好做一個(gè)自發(fā)的精神流氓，而不是莊嚴(yán)地坐著，遵循你不理解的信念和不屬于你自己的紀(jì)律，不是從你自己的自發(fā)性的自然秩序中涌現(xiàn)出來(lái)的紀(jì)律。

——ESP 1974.03.26 ~ unpublished（未出版）

Discipline then should not only be considered, as it is by some schools of thought, as a mere mental discipline over the muscles, or various portions of the body by the inner self, but indeed a discipline in terms of training of the ego by the inner self, so that the ego as a personality achieves a well-balanced relationship with the physical universe.

那么，紀(jì)律不應(yīng)該像某些學(xué)派所認(rèn)為的那樣，僅僅被認(rèn)為是內(nèi)在自我對(duì)肌肉或身體各個(gè)部分的單純心理訓(xùn)練，而實(shí)際上則是一門(mén)通過(guò)內(nèi)在自我（inner self）訓(xùn)練自我（ego）的學(xué)科。這樣，作為一個(gè)人格的自我（ego）就可以與物質(zhì)宇宙實(shí)現(xiàn)良好的平衡關(guān)系。
