“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is still much to be covered in our discussion of matter, and this also will be basic, for the understanding of other data. I still do not see any difficulty as far as the house and your finances are concerned. I have told you that this is to be your own decision, and I have given you information that should be helpful.

Actually it can be said that since the self creates its environment, then the environment is an extension of the self. The division between the subject who creates the environment, and the object-(hyphen) environment, which is created, is an artificial but necessary development.

This development is necessary upon your plane because of the training in the manipulation of energy which is required there. You merely focus your energy along these lines. This being of course the main reason why, as a rule, mankind has not used other abilities to any great degree.

New senses are developed to perceive new creations. Idea pushes itself through; nor is idea a disembodied nonentity absolute, but composed of energy to begin with.

Now understanding this, you should be able to see how other planes, other reality continuums, can exist simultaneously with your own, and be unperceived consciously. This point of over lapse, or overlap, this point of overlap is extremely important, for there are points of overlapping in all universes; and this will also be a be a basic factor in travel, although not in any future in the physical universe in which you will be involved.

(It might be worth noting here a point which came out as Jane and I were discussing the above experiment the next day. It develops that at about the precise time I had induced the desired state in myself, while lying on the bed in our bedroom, Jane had been sitting quietly in the living room, almost dozing on the couch. Two closed doors separated us. It had been a busy day for Jane at the gallery, so busy in fact that she had not had time to go down to the restaurant for the usual order of coffee the gallery personnel are used to enjoying every afternoon. While sitting on the couch, she had thought again about missing coffee break; the thought had come with some vehemence because the gallery is in a state of flux, and Jane finds this quite upsetting.)
