“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is no past, present or future in your terms within it, but only a now. Because of the endless possibilities within this now, durability is maintained in terms of value fulfillment, the fulfillment of literally endless values. Therefore the forest is constantly expanding. Remember your expanding universe theory, but not in terms of space or indeed in terms of time, but in terms of fulfillment of abilities and values that may be constructed upon various levels and in various guises, your present plane of existence being one.

We will now go into one of our basic laws of the universe, and of the spacious present, which would seem to need little explanation: that of creation.

It is more than the combined consciousness of its atoms. Here is your creation; this creation, occurring constantly, is as I have said one of the laws of the inner universe. We know now that the consciousness behind each atom and molecule gave physical construction to the atom and molecule. That is, the consciousness came first.

The consciousness always comes first, representing individualized, extremely potent bits of energy that compose the basic or inner universe. They materialize upon your plane, forming their blocks of construction. The creation that causes the whole to be more than the sum of its parts is merely the inner identities, the bulk of this consciousness not able to fully materialize upon the physical plane. In other words, no consciousness fully materializes upon the physical plane.

During our next session I will give you further material on the inner laws of the universe, and show you again how the so-called laws of the universe, with which your scientists deal, are sadly inadequate and the result of the same kind of distortion as your cause and effect theory.

I have also mentioned that as your outer senses can perceive the camouflage universe, and as they act within its laws, so also the inner senses are equipped to perceive the inner basic universe, and they directly are familiar with its laws.

I did not realize that this particular experience would occur so early. It actually represents an amazing ability to focus the complete inner energy. In other words, to command and focus the entire amount of energy inherent within the personality from the inner universe, and as such it must be used with discretion and discipline. It should never be allowed to be used for the purposes of the emotions belonging to the outer ego.
