(As he had during the 801st session, our cat, Billy, roused himself from a snooze and walked over to Jane. This time he jumped up into her lap, then positioned himself with his forelegs against her chest while examining her face. Jane, as Seth, petted him. I called Billy to me. He perched briefly on my own lap, then curled up on the cushion beside me.

(10:42. Jane’s trance had been good, but she remembered Billy climbing into her lap, and how he’d put his face close to hers. “Seth thought it was great,” she said. Resume at 11:14.)

Right now I’d bet that man will most certainly try with all of his might every technique he can devise in order to prolong physical life as long as possible — so great is his conscious fear of death as the consummate extinction for all time to come. Through all of his recorded history, man has created that fear, that belief, with the greatest tenacity imaginable.

2. Seth and Jane have both referred to faster-than-light effects in earlier books. Seth did so while discussing his CU’s, or units of consciousness, for instance. Albert Einstein, in his special theory of relativity, demonstrated that nothing else in the universe can quite reach — let alone surpass — the speed of light. Some physicists have theorized about certain faster-than-light “particles,” however, that by some unknown process are created traveling at such enormous velocities; thus in that way they try to get around the limits set by Einstein. There have also been recent astronomical observations of several far-distant objects that appear to be “superluminous,” or traveling considerably faster than the speed of light. These effects have yet to be satisfactorily explained.
Of course, when one leaves the realm of “particles,” no matter how small they may be, or how they behave or how tenuous their “physical” construction, then all restraints could well be off. As in the case of his CU’s, Seth’s “subjective motions and activities,” his “simultaneous events,” would easily be the rule in the basic nonphysical universe.
