“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

At this point of course the self moves beyond or through the particular midplane involved. The term itself merely applies to a reference point duration that has meaning only in so far as it is related to a specific personality that is in a transitional frame between dimensional actualities.

There is usually strain involved here, since points of reference must be changed. The personality is already immersed in a dimensional transformation; when the emotional need of those within the physical plane call out for communication, they add to the pull or force of the attraction still present, binding portions of the personality to the physical field, and can add to the resistance encountered by personalities in transformation.

This is one of the difficulties with our sessions, in that you cannot take in concepts directly. That is, you cannot experience them directly, and I must cut them down, dimensionally speaking, in order that you can perceive them in your more limited dimension.

In his reading he came across a statement to the effect that imaginary two-dimensional people could not comprehend a three-dimensional system. You are obviously in the physical system, and according to your terms fourth dimensional. Your dream world, of which I have spoken, could be compared to a third-dimensional universe. However, the dimensions of which physics speaks are, again, the result of your own point of reference, and of the system in which you are enclosed.

A fifth-dimensional universe does not have to possess all the attributes of the previous four, for example. Once you progress beyond a fourth-dimensional universe, then freedoms are attained which will make the attributes of previous dimensions unnecessary.

I have told you that a plane was not necessarily a location in space, but a field of mental vitality. The material that I have given you on the fifth dimension will here prove invaluable. I have told you that it is space, since this was the beginning of our discussions. During our earliest session I used the term space for simplicity’s part for your sakes, while still explaining most carefully that this fifth-dimensional space was far different than what you consider space to be.

You can see that in that fifth-dimensional existence there can be no constants as far as reference points are concerned, since by the very nature of the dimension, camouflages are adopted to fit numberless other dimensions as the structure itself continually changes.
