“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Consciousness is not dependent upon form, as I have said, and yet it always seeks to create form. We do not exist in any time framework as you know it. Minutes, hours, or years have lost both their meaning and their fascination. We are quite aware of the time situations within other systems, however, and we must take them into account in our communications. Otherwise what we say would not be understood.

I told our good friend Joseph to underline the word “seem” because your instruments would show no physical alteration — since the instruments within such a room would themselves have already altered to the same degree.

There is no end to our environment. In your terms there would be no lack of space or time in which to operate. Now this would put tremendous pressure on any consciousness without proper background and development. We do not have one simple, cozy universe in which to hide. We are still alert to other quite alien systems of reality that flash on the very outskirts of consciousness as we know it. There are far more various kinds of consciousness than there are physical forms, each with its own patterns of perception, dwelling within its own camouflage system. Yet all of these have inner knowledge of the reality that exists within all camouflage and that composes any reality, by whatever name it is called.

Whole consciousness adopts various forms. It need not always be within a form. All forms are not physical ones. Some personalities, therefore, have never been physical. They have evolved along different lines, and their psychological structures would be alien to your own.

Now I will end our session. I would sing a lullaby — this is not for the book — for our small friend here (Sean Watkins, who was nursing again). But I am not in voice for it.

(11:08 P.M. Seth’s parting remark was in answer to a question Sue had raised earlier in the evening, about how much revision his book would require. Jane’s opinion, so far, was that the book wouldn’t need any work except for the rearranging of an occasional awkward phrase, etc.)
