“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When you are certain that you feel at least reasonably secure, where you are, then we shall take you to where you are not and you will find yourself. You are already there, but in order to go there, you must start from somewhere. You must start with, you see, a balance and a degree of security—you must start with confidence. And if you travel too quickly and too far, you will not have confidence. For in the back of your mind you will think: If I do not feel secure in physical reality, then why should I feel secure here—and you will not have the daring that is necessary, nor will you have the peace of mind—and the peace of mind is the key to the door.

So when you are on the way to solving your situation here, I will give you some new ones to solve—and I will give you a push along the way, and you can count on it—and you can count on it when you tell me that you are making true progress here. Then I will give you a gigantic push.

If I could sing that beautifully, I would sing for you through our classes. Now I wish you (Daniel) a bon voyage. And I did not mean to hurt your (class) feelings; far be it from me to hurt your feelings when you hurt your own so well you do not need help from me. I will have a message for you (Florence) through our friend Ruburt shortly in any case. I simply wanted you to know that I was here and I did have a specific message that I wanted to deliver to our friend (Brad) on this side. And if you do not have the words recorded, they are recorded there (pointing to Brad’s head) and you will not forget them. And when I make promises I make promises and I keep them. And when I say I will give a “push” at a certain time, I will give a fine push... though then you may not need it. I’ve come through this evening in any case simply as a friend. I wish you all well. I am not going to keep you until two o’clock in your morning. Some evening I will keep you until two o’clock in the morning just so you can say that I have done it. But you would not bless me the following morning—of that I am sure.

Now, indeed you are. And—as a piece or chunk of physical matter—you are indeed immediate and here. You do not understand the ways in which you project the physical matter of yourself into this room, however. When you understand that completely and fully, you will no longer be within physical reality. But that is of little notice. You will never notice the difference. In any reality, you create the image that you see. And the reality that follows this one will seem as physical to you as this—and as real. But you will have freedoms within it that you do not have now—not unless at 8 o’clock in the morning you leap from the rooftops and fly through the windows to your death.

([Theodore:] “He talked some more about physical matter—and elaboration on the things we’ve talked about during the evening. The reality on another plane or in another dimension is just as physical as what we experience as physical here—just as real, seems physical to them. But the freedoms are greater, so that when we think of something on another plane, it happens instantaneously. Whereas here, there is a time lag between the time we think of something and it results in a created action or object. In the time lag on this plane, there are other thoughts, projections on the same idea or object; Seth declined to go into their effects on the final idea or object until a later time.
