“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

All of the ages of Earth, in your terms both past and present, exist, as do future ages. Now. You may make that a capital now. Some life forms are being developed in what you think of as present time. They will not appear physically until you reach your future time. Do you follow me?

They exist now, however, as certainly as do, say, the dinosaurs. You only choose to focus your attention upon a highly specific field of space-time coordinates, accepting these as present reality, and closing yourselves off from all others. Specifically, complicated physical forms are not the result of previous simpler ones. They all exist in larger terms at once.

(Pause at 9:42.) Since you do not perceive the future and do not understand that life goes out in all directions, then it seems only logical to suppose that present forms must be based upon past ones. You do close your eyes to evidence that does not support this theory. (Heartily, smiling): And of course I am not speaking of you personally, Joseph.

(Such sources of inspirational material were entirely unsuspected by me in earlier years. I believe now that they are among those usually present at unconscious levels; but in order to expand the potentials for the creative act as much as possible, I would like to see others learn to cultivate such visions and perceptions on a deliberate, conscious basis. It seems to me the benefits would be many. There is much to be learned here.
