“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

All of our regular students attend classes, whether you know it or not. I get you here once a week, as a rule, but I also get you in other dimensions of reality. You all have tasks to perform. Some of you do help persons who have immediately left this system to acclimate to the new conditions. You are smarter when you are asleep than when you are awake. You are learning as much then, therefore, as you do between lives. That is a point that I wanted to make. In your waking existence you are simply focused upon physical reality. When the body sleeps you are no longer focused within it, instead you embark upon other adventures and, in your terms, you advance your own education.
