“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(On Thursday night, April 8, Jane and I were visited by three women from Rochester, New York. They were very interested in talking about Jane’s book, The Seth Material. They also gave me several questions for Seth to answer in his own book, if he chose to do so. Jane and I went over them briefly before the session.)

I told you some time ago that there were many gradations of matter, or form, that you did not perceive. In your terms many of these particles making up such constructions do move faster than the speed of your light.

There are indeed universes composed of such faster-than-light particles. Some of these in your terms share the same space as your own universe. You simply would not perceive such particles as mass. When these particles are slowed down sufficiently, you do experience them as matter.

(9:33.) You are not utterly unaware of the existence of some of these units, though you do not experience them as mass. You interpret some of them as events, dream events, so-called hallucinations; and sometimes certain ranges of these units are interpreted by you as movement-through-time.

(9:45.) The behaviors of such units, as you can now see, form the particular camouflage within any given system, while the peripheral activities effectively set up inner identities and outer boundaries. These are all variations, generally speaking and very simply put, on matter as you think of it. The same applies to negative or antimatter however, which you do not perceive in any case. But the gradations of activity within such systems are as diverse.

No. As mentioned earlier in this book, I do contact some in other levels of reality, however.

(Many sessions ago, Seth told us he had a dog fragment personality still here on Earth. He wouldn’t tell us where it was, though. “Number twenty-five: Do you have any physical fragments of any kind still here on earth?”)

I do not now. My dog is gone.

Animals have varying degrees of self-consciousness, as indeed people do. The consciousness that is within them is as valid and eternal as your own, however. There is nothing to prevent a personality from investing a portion of his own energy into an animal form. This is not transmigration of souls. It does not mean that a man can be reincarnated in an animal. It does mean that personalities can send a portion of their energy into various kinds of form.

The mechanics of consciousness remain the same. They do not change for animals or men. Therefore there are no limitations set upon the development of any individual consciousness, or growth of any identity. Consciousness both in the body and without finds its own range, its own level. A dog, then, is not limited to being a dog in other existences.

In the same way, personalities from other systems can send energy to yours. Since such events do not originate within your system, you do not understand their import.
