“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. The couch serves to unite them since they sit upon it. And what do they sit upon? Do you all know—emptiness that you perceive as solidity. Now, without your particular physical perfection you would not perceive the couch as solid. And consciousness that has different perceptive mechanisms than your own is unaware of our now famous blue couch. You make the organization your thoughts perceive as organization. You enforce the organization and indeed create it.

You agree, for example, that objects are physical—it makes little difference whether they are or not as long as you agree upon this. Your consciousness belongs in a body. You would not be caught dead with your consciousness outside your body. 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. And when you are caught dead outside it there will be some amazement indeed.

Now, when I speak to you, I very seldom use words as love. 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. And so, as I said last evening, in your latest chapter, I offer no hope for the lazy, for they will not find eternal rest. However, through traveling within yourself, you will discover the unity of your consciousness with other consciousnesses. You will discover the multidimensional love and energy that gives consciousness to all things. This will not lead you to want to rest on the proverbial blessed bosom. 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.
