“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is little use in trying to discover other levels of your own reality if you insist upon applying the laws of physical life to your own larger experience. [...] You cannot, however, insist that the laws of your vaster existence, as you discover them, supersede the physical conditions of known life — for then no facts would apply either. You will expect to live forever in the same physical body, or think that you can levitate with your body at will. You can indeed levitate, but not with your physical body, practically speaking in operational terms. [...] It was quite real, however, and at another level of reality it was operational, suited to its environment.

Even within that context, however, there are surprises and enchantments waiting, if you simply learn to expand your awareness, exploring not only the dream state, but your waking reality in more adventuresome ways. Your dreaming psyche is awake. Many of you have allowed your normal waking consciousness to become blurred — inactive, relatively speaking, so that you are only half aware of the life that you have. You are your psyche’s living expression, its human manifestation. (Pause.) Yet you allow yourselves often to become blind to brilliant aspects of your own existence.

(11:07.) You can learn to vastly enrich your own experience. [...] You can travel in the dream state into levels of reality separated from your own. [...] You can obtain knowledge from other portions of your own being, and tap the psyche’s resources. [...]

(10:07.) Your own waking consciousness deals specifically with certain kinds of distinctions. [...] They highlight your lives, providing them also with a kind of frame. Quite simply, you want to experience a certain kind of reality, so you put boundaries about events, that allow you to concentrate upon them. [...] Everything within the painting fits; so in your physical lives, you do the same thing.

[...] It would be easy to think that the dream foresaw Joseph’s own death, and that of his brother and sister-in-law. You follow your own time sequences, however. [...] To it, your death has already occurred, from your standpoint. Yet it is also true that from its standpoint, your birth has not yet happened. You have a greater experience, then, of your recognized time and existence frameworks.

[...] The deeper dimensions of reality are such that your thoughts and actions not only affect the life you know, but also reach into all of those other simultaneous existences. [...] Your life is a dreaming experience to other portions of your greater reality which focus elsewhere.

[...] In your own lives you will use such psychic shorthand, or utilize symbols in which you try to explain the greater dimensions of one reality in terms of the known one.

[...] In the following chapter, then, I will suggest some exercises that will allow you direct experience with portions of your own reality that may have escaped you thus far.

[...] Nor is that unique individuality of your own ever minimized. The psyche’s experiences straddle your ideas of time, however. [...] At your particular focus of consciousness, no arguments will suffice to convince you otherwise, for you are everywhere presented with the physical evidence of “fact.” [...]

In a strange manner I am telling you that your “life” is simply the only portion of your existence of which you are presently aware. [...] You are tuned in to an earth song, following this analogy, but you are only following your own melody, and usually you are unaware of the greater orchestration in which you also take part.
