“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, you each generally agree, I am sure, that you sit upon a couch. You do not perceive the same couch. You only perceive your own idea constructions. You cannot perceive those of another. Telepathically you transpose your ideas in line with what you know of the other person’s thinking. 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? However, within your physical system the instruments themselves are distorted and, of course, they will agree with what they measure. There is no reason why they should not. Telepathically you all agree upon the placement of objects and their dimensions.

You are truly multidimensional personalities, as I have said before. At some point in your development you will become more and more aware of the true nature of your identity. 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.

Now, a portion of your entire identity has memory of both. The entire personality structure dwells in many dimensions and simultaneously. You are at the very beginning of any idea of psychology. You simply do not realize what you are now, and as I’ve said before, when you ask me questions about life after death, you automatically transpose, if you will all forgive me, this lack of knowledge into the next realm and therefore, sometimes I am at a loss to answer your questions. You are learning to know yourselves. At the rate you are going, it will take you some time!

Now, when you properly understand how to use psychological time, then to some extent you can learn to alter the nature, the focus, of your consciousness. You can turn it in many directions. You can focus it in other ways—away from physical reality. This does not mean that you will be left high and dry here. It does mean that you will begin to explore the reality of yourself and of those other dimensions in which you have your existence.

There must be, however, a willingness to admit that there are other dimensions in which you exist. You must also have faith in your physical self—faith that it will be here when you get back, and I assure you that it will. There is no other way—and I repeat this—there is no other way of getting first-hand information about other realities but by the exploration and manipulation of your own consciousness. There are no other doors—your own sense of adventure.
