“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I have said this before also. 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. I look now between the two of you (looking at the couch where Natalie S. and Arnold were sitting). When the others look at our friends here on the fancy blue couch, they see a picture of true organization. There is an individual here and an individual here on the blue couch with space between. The picture is equalized. It appears perfect and organized. 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.

Now, you use atoms and molecules in a strange way. You transpose your ideas upon them. You perceive them in a certain fashion. Now, I am not blaming you. 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. This makes little difference as long as you can write upon it. It makes little difference as long as you can sit upon your couch. But when you leave your physical system, and when physical perception is no longer the rule—then you must learn new root assumptions. Root assumptions are those meaning laws upon which you agree in any system of reality.
