“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The question has to do with the so-called creation of your universe, the introduction of entities upon it, and of course with the cause or causes behind such creation. You know by now that you create your own camouflage-patterned universe, and I have tried to cover some of the mechanisms involved in this continuous, seemingly automatic creation.

You know then that you yourselves create your universe and that each generation creates it anew in its own image. There is a growth principle operating in the realm of ideas and in the construction of these ideas into camouflage patterns.

This involves on the part of the entity the use of personalities, which are in a manner capsules of itself or even compartments—part of the whole entity but neatly divided as far as memory and so forth is concerned. Nor is this the only universe which you have helped construct. This is rather difficult but you will see that it is really quite logical.

Incidentally, your universe was not created by all entities, but only by the entities that needed a particular kind of experience. The fact that manipulation is important upon your plane is one of the main causes for wars.

(“Seth, what do you mean exactly when you use the word universe? Are you referring to just our own solar system?”

By universe I mean physical systems. That is, all you can see now are physical systems. I am speaking of the universe in your terms, as even being all that your telescopes can pick up. In a way your knowledge is limited to physical systems. I am speaking of the stars and planets you see in your sky, but not of the invisible systems that may exist simultaneously with them.
