“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

Therefore the expanding universe implies a universe expanding in a more or less empty space, and this is not true. The phenomena that are given as evidence of this kind of expanding universe are the result of camouflage instruments, distortive ideas of time, and the resulting cause and effect theory.

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.

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.
