Now, as Ruburt mentioned earlier, we have some strong elements present. You can, indeed, be involved in some group out-of-body endeavors. Now all of you can be involved to some degree or another but you must want to be involved. You must desire the experience or you will not have it. It does no good to tell yourselves that you will leave your body fifty times before you sleep, if in the back of your skull you are thinking, I am terrified. The inner self will put up a caution light. You are not ready.

Now we use words because you deal with them. You deal with the words physically but your inner self has no need of verbalization. What each of you experience as you listen to me cannot be expressed in words, and what each of you feel of yourselves when you are alone and when you are with others, cannot be put into words. You know but you cannot find the words.

Now what I tell you, to some extent, must be distorted because when I speak I use words, but the inner self interprets the words that are spoken. You do not need the words. You do not need me to sit here and speak to you but physically you think that you do and so I am here. Physically you believe that you are here and so you are here but other portions of your identity are in other places and other times, and I use those terms very loosely. They are only to make you happy because the words, times and places, have a meaning to you but in your basic reality you do not know times nor places.

Each of you now as you sit before the image that you call Jane Butts or Ruburt, each of you now are, indeed, as ghostly as you may think that I am for you form your own physical image about you and you pretend it is your real self. You are, in other words, apparitions and in a gigantic mass hallucination you all agree upon the people that you see, and you all pretend that you are the selves that you see but you are far more than this.

The inner self does not know the meaning of time. It is manufactured in the same way that you manufacture plastics. It is the furniture of your universe. You have manufactured it yourself to make living more comfortable. You become lost in the cushions, the cushions of the minutes and the hours. The physical reign and the intellect are focused toward physical reality. They will always think to interpret experience in terms of place, space and time. The inner self knows far better, and the inner self goes its way acting as if time did not exist because it does not exist. These are simply rules that you have adapted, the rules of the game that you have set up in this planet. They only have application in those limited terms.

(Seth II:) We seed universes and consciousness and your animals and your plants. The consciousness that composes them, is endowed by us. The warm-blooded creatures that you know are seeded by our consciousness. They are the children of our dreams and so, also, do you seed other realities and other systems. They are the children of your dreams. You have little contact with these but always the inner self remembers its offspring. Therefore, also do we remember you and your system. Consciousness releases its abilities in ways that you do not understand and yet from your own mind, springing from your own dreams, other systems of reality emerge as you have emerged from our dreams. Your system can be likened to a probability system that was latent always within our own capabilities but was not actualized within our experience.
