“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is quite true that the inner ego is aware through the inner senses of any choices that the outer ego will make with the use of free will. This does not mean that decisions are in any way predetermined. It only means that the inner ego is not bound by the dimensions in which those free will choices are made.

Your clock time as you know is camouflage, and does not exist as far as the inner ego is concerned. This certainly should not be strange to you, since you know that even your present personalities can to some extent escape from clock time through the use of psychological time. I have said that there is no time without barriers. The inner ego is aware of fewer barriers and therefore is not bound by time to the degree that the outer ego is bound.

Tuesday does not exist to the inner ego. Your outer ego is now experiencing the camouflage time year of 1964. This simply does not exist to the inner ego, therefore the inner ego is effortlessly aware of any choices or decisions that you may make freely in say 1970. It does not affect your choice. It has absolutely nothing to do with whatever future choice you may make. It is aware of such future choices simply because the camouflage future does not exist for it.

Many limitations are set upon personalities by their own entities for karmic reasons. I want to make it plain that free will does exist, but that it is limited through use of a more extended free will on the part of the entity. Also, the inner ego is aware of so-called future decisions not because he forces such decisions upon the outer ego but simply because the future as such does not exist to the inner ego, and therefore he can perceive where the outer ego cannot.

Although someone begins reading this material on page one, for example, this does not mean that page four hundred does not already exist. Your outer ego is forced into what could be called successive action, but the inner ego is not so bound. This should make the point more clear. I mentioned earlier that cause and effect operates in various manners, and what seems to be cause and effect is often merely a result of your necessary disposition to view actions in a successive manner.

Because you are forced at this point to perceive actions in a separate and successive fashion you more or less naturally take it for granted that one thing causes another, or that one action could not occur before another that appears to follow it. This is of course not the case, although it is an example of the distortions you get when you rely upon the outer senses only.

You use abilities, and so does Joseph, that cannot be used effectively at this present stage simultaneously with outer egotistical intellectual judgments. I am just saying, don’t try to use both at once during sessions. And that was a mouthful.

With deep trance the conscious outer state is completely switched off. Knowledge is forcibly poured down the imaginary gullet, and I can’t feel very enthusiastic over such a method. What we are doing may be slower on your terms, but the effects are more durable and the whole self is aware of any knowledge thus received.
