“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Now Jane leaned over my desk to emphasize the following paragraph.)

It is however one of the most basic, and without it at least two inner senses would be extremely hampered. These two are those concerned with what we may call for now transportation. When we are finally finished with our skeleton outline on the inner senses, then I will go into those that are the most important, basic and necessary. I have not given the inner senses to you in the order of their importance, but merely in the order that would be the simplest for you to understand.

I have also slowed down now and then to enable you to write more comfortably. If these efforts on my part to make things easier are not appreciated, then I can speed up as fast as you would like.

(The truth was, lately I had not had the extra mental zip to ask many questions. To insert questions while Jane is dictating requires one to be really on top of the material as it comes, and recently I have been content to follow along. Also, too many questions slows up the amount of material Seth can deliver. I now know that he was being very patient, and somewhat amused, with me.)

I did want to answer Ruburt’s question as to the expanding universe, though we will not go into all the details now. Your camouflage idea of time is no help, and until you realize that time as you think of it does not exist in any real terms, then you will not be able to understand the true nature of your universe.

Their time measurements, based on camouflage to begin with, are almost riotously inadequate and bound to give distortive data, since the universe simply cannot be measured in these terms. The universe was not created at any particular time, but neither is it expanding into nowhere like an inflated balloon that grows forever larger, at least not along the lines now being considered. The expansion is an illusion, based among other things upon inadequate time measurements, upon the limited cause and effect theories; and yet in some manners the universe could be said to be expanding, but with entirely different connotations than are usually used.

This is much too difficult to go into deeply now. It might help you to reread the little material on mental enclosures. Expansion you see is a word that implies movement or enlargement in space, and space itself in the way the word is usually used, is a camouflage. Space, I have said, is the fifth dimension, but you have seen that this true space has little in common with the space that you usually think of. That is, fifth dimensional space is not an emptiness to be filled, being itself alive and vibrant, and changing its outer nature according to the plane which is composed of it.

(Break at 10:05. Jane was dissociated as usual. By now we were both tired. Jane yawned and remarked that if she could be out until the end of the session she would be quite happy. This upset me, mostly because I felt the same way myself. I also felt the sessions were threatened, though I did not say so, but Jane instantly sensed my mood. When she began dictating again her pace was as slow and deliberate as before, her voice normal. Resume at 10:13.)

If many of the inner senses behave as if your conception of time and space do not exist, then the obvious reason is of course that they do not. You are merely allowing yourself a momentary release from the limitations of camouflage ideas, and release of these ideas brings a corresponding release from the physical camouflage patterns themselves. There is a breaking through. Now this breaking through is a release of the inner self from the camouflage, and the resulting camouflage laws of any particular plane. The barriers to such experiences are mainly those set up by the ego. The sort of experience Ruburt had last night is one of the simplest along these lines.

Now this material on inner senses will ultimately be tied into the material on your so-called expanding universe, but there are many connections yet to be made.

I am not sure precisely which way to give you this material. However we are on firmer ground now. As I mentioned, there is no real expansion of the universe in space. The appearance is a distortion. I have mentioned in the past that everything does have a form or a tissue capsule and field of energy.

Now I have said that a plane is not necessarily a location. It is not necessarily a planet, though it may be. The universe as you think of it contains innumerable planes, all taking up in your terms the same amount of space. The forms within these planes are in constant motion, as are the planes themselves. There is a continual exchange of energy and vitality, in other words, of actual atoms and molecules between one plane and another.

And now my tootsies, I bid you a fond good evening. You will find, if I may say so, that the material in tonight’s session is of its usual high quality.

(End at 11:20. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said she too felt better now than when the session began. Jane was wondering rather idly whether a psychiatrist or a scientist might get more out of the material when Seth came through again. She resumed pacing and dictating at 11:25.)

The translations are not easy to achieve, but they are possible and must be made through the inner senses, though the translations or solutions may appear on an intuitional level. I wanted to add this to the evening’s sessions. I now will really leave you to at least a relative peace and quiet.
