“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now it may seem quite strange to our Lady of Florence to find herself within her body and working at such intimate terms with the physical matter of which she is composed, and yet you do this constantly. You are only now becoming aware of what you do at an unconscious level. When you work in such a manner, you are still using physical symbols. Because you feel you are in the body and manipulating organs, you feel that you are being quite practical. You can see what you are doing. You are manipulating in physical terms, but it should occur to you that you do not need the physical images. These are only methods to educate you to the importance of thought for you can perform the same without the images. Even in the body it seems to you that you need physical hands to manipulate reels, to change what you see when a thought would suffice. And so later on you will not need the journeys, but now the journeys act as educational television. Later you will not need them.

Now using your scientific instruments, to some extent, you can probe into physical reality. But using these alone you will never come to terms with the nature of your own existence. You will not be able, even in your terms, to feel it or to know it intimately, and as long as you are focused completely in physical reality and cut yourself off from your source, you will never understand the day to day existence that is within you that is independent of days and hours.
