Choosing a Safe Universe
What if the world you experience is not fixed, but shaped by your deepest beliefs? What if, at the core of your reality, lies a fundamental choice—one that determines whether you live in a universe that supports you or one that threatens you?
Seth’s message in this lecture is both simple and profound: You cannot live in a safe universe and an unsafe one at the same time. You have to make a complete choice. This statement may challenge many of your ingrained assumptions. After all, the world appears to be filled with dangers, struggles, and uncertainties. And yet, Seth insists that the universe is fundamentally safe—that its very structure supports your well-being, creativity, and growth.
The problem, he says, is that many of us still carry the habits and beliefs of an “unsafe universe.” We react to life with fear, doubt, and mistrust, reinforcing a sense of separation from the very forces that would guide and uplift us. But what if those fears are relics of a mistaken perspective? What if they are “literally meaningless” in the reality we are meant to inhabit?
Seth urges us to recognize that the universe works with us, not against us. The challenge is not to make the universe safe—it already is—but to realize it. To step into a world where we are led by intelligence greater than our conscious minds, where synchronicities and solutions naturally emerge, and where we align with the deep security of existence itself.
This is not merely an intellectual idea but a lived experience, one that requires commitment. Are you willing to leave behind the assumptions of an unsafe world? Can you recognize old fears as echoes from a reality you no longer need to occupy? In this lecture, Seth asks you to make a choice—a complete choice—to live in the reality where you truly belong.

Seth: Choosing a Safe Universe
Seth: “You cannot live in a safe universe and an unsafe one at the same time. You have to make a complete choice.”
Seth: At the risk of repeating myself, you live in a safe universe. At the risk of repeating myself you [to me] can no longer equivocate either. When you find yourself in a period of distress, it is because you do not trust your safety. You can not live in a safe universe and an unsafe one at the same time. You have to make a complete choice.
If you choose a safe universe then you may, indeed, find some old habitual ideas, thoughts or beliefs, coming to haunt you. Those belonged to the unsafe universe, and made perfect sense there – and there they still do. When you change your affiliation and find yourself now and then encountering such feelings; and they are always one way or another feelings of insecurity – then admit to yourself that while they made sense in the unsafe universe, they do not belong in the safe one. Literally, such feelings make no sense in a safe universe. They are literally meaningless.
Your body reacts to the feelings of insecurity by retreating to whatever degree, slight or occasional, or with determined persistence – your body or anyone else’s – as long as you really believe you live in a state of threat.
Ruburt has recently used the suggestion “Infinite intelligence leads me and guides me in all my ways.” If you thoroughly understood what that means then you do, indeed, live and experience a safe universe. Your pendulum will give you the specific reasons for any difficulties, but behind these ever-changing reasons is always the sense of insecurity you feel when you believe the universe is against you to whatever degree. It works with you when you let it, and you attract to yourself all of those conditions that are cooperative to your ventures.
