“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Physical time, or that is clock time, was invented by man’s ego to protect the ego itself, because of the mistaken conception of dual existence—that is, because man felt that a predictable conscious self did the thinking and the moving, and an unpredictable almost automatic self did the breathing and dreaming. He set up boundaries to protect the predictable self from what he considered the unpredictable self, and ended up by cutting the whole self in half.

You switched yourself off automatically because the experience frightened you, but the whole affair was beneficial because it gave you some firsthand experience of pure inner sensory data. It was unfortunate that it was so uncontrolled, but I’m afraid this is to be expected in the beginning. If possible try to relax if this occurs again, and the data will slow itself up.

Since you both are tiring I will end this session. The one point I would like to make, first, is this: Conscious fear is usually the main hindrance as far as data from the inner senses is concerned. Therefore, a realization that these senses belong to you and are quite natural will help you avoid the otherwise unavoidable, almost automatic closing off of such data by the consciousness.
