“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I will indeed use an explanation of a particular instance to add to your general knowledge. I have told you that the communication between your landlord’s father and himself was a valid one, and I believe that other communications have taken place. In at least some of these, as in this instance, the man’s wife acted as a relay station.

You will need perhaps to reread your material on the spacious present, since our explanation here will be necessarily in terms of sequence of events, when as you know in the spacious present events are actually simultaneous. When the personality withdraws itself from the physical image therefore, in a sort of slow motion of actual simultaneous happenings, this is what occurs.

This consciousness of organs, atoms and molecules, cells and other components, is left undiminished with whatever degree of consciousness and vitality they originally possessed, not enough of course to hold form or organization to any degree. However, the image is also maintained partially by those others who view it. An explanation for this you will find in our discussion of the nature of matter.
