“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

As soon as you realize however that the picture is not complete, then you must begin to ask new questions, and the old idea of the perfect organization is gone. Now as you know, you do not perceive the atoms and molecules that swim about the room nor the atoms and molecules that fill this space between our friends, nor the forces—the field forces—that exist. [...] Do you all know—emptiness that you perceive as solidity. [...] And consciousness that has different perceptive mechanisms than your own is unaware of our now famous blue couch. [...]

Now, you each generally agree, I am sure, that you sit upon a couch. [...] You agree that the couch is here. Now, it is true that within your physical system—for I know this will come next from our friend Florence—you can measure your couch. I expect at any moment anyone will get a ruler and measure it and then say to me that the couch is so long—how can you say it is not one couch? [...] There is no reason why they should not. Telepathically you all agree upon the placement of objects and their dimensions. [...]

[...] All That Is—is now. And you are a part of All That Is now. [...] You can, now, set upon exploring environments that are not physical if you want to, but I do not see any rush of students at that invisible door! [...]

[...] I have done it too in my time, and there is a good reason for it. But the fact is that physical matter is not solid except when you believe that it is. And that organization is transposed from within upon the without. It is not transposed from the without upon you. You form the reality that you know, and even though the table holds up your arms and you may lean upon it and write, I still tell you that the table is not solid. [...] But when you leave your physical system, and when physical perception is no longer the rule—then you must learn new root assumptions. [...]

[...] You structure your own existence and you choose those realities that have exactly as much organization as you need at any given time. In this reality you very nicely emphasize all the similarities which bind you together and make a pattern of them and you very nicely ignore all the dissimilarities. [...] Out of a vast field of perception you choose to focus your attention upon certain specific areas and ignore all others, and so there is perfect agreement among you as far as this small area is concerned. The vastness that you do not perceive does not bother you at all and you do not ask questions about it because it does not concern you. [...]

[...] I do not tell you that a god is waiting for you on the other side of a golden door. I do not reassure you by telling you that when you are dead, God will be waiting for you in all His majestic mercy and that will be the end of your responsibility. [...] You will discover the multidimensional love and energy that gives consciousness to all things. [...] It will instead inspire you to take a better hand in the job of creation, and that feeling of divine presence you will find indeed, and feel indeed, for you will sense it behind the dance of the molecules and in yourself and in your neighbors. [...]

What so many want is a god who walks down the street and says “Happy Sunday, I am I, follow Me.” But God is hidden craftily in His creations so that He is what they are and they are what He is, and in knowing them, you know Him. Now you may all take a break. [...]

[...] If you were able to focus your attention upon the dissimilarities, merely those that you can perceive but do not, then you would be amazed that mankind could form any idea of an organized reality. [...] There is an individual here and an individual here on the blue couch with space between. The picture is equalized. [...] However, the space between our two friends is not vacant. You merely perceive it as vacant because you do not perceive what is there. And so the picture is very organized. [...]

You agree, for example, that objects are physical—it makes little difference whether they are or not as long as you agree upon this. [...] It is taboo!! Now, the fact is that your consciousness is not imprisoned within your body. But as long as you believe that it is, again, you will not be caught dead outside it. [...]

[...] There is, for example, a part of you who is very aware of these pulsations, and who is aware of pulse sense of memory. When the pulse is in the physical reality, then you, as you know yourself, have this memory. When the pulse is in another dimension, there is also memory of that existence. [...]
