“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The father is mainly finished with the physical field. He is on what you may call a midplane of existence. Personalities in such transition are thereby allowed to acclimate themselves in a period of neutrality and relative passivity.

By this time he can change his reference points, although his experience is so much more vivid, and so much fuller proportioned, that to him the experience could be likened to going down into a small cramped tunnel.

Ruburt, incidentally, is to be congratulated, as he is just beginning to read books on physics, in order to intellectually keep up with the material as I give it. Never having read such books before, he was astounded to discover that I knew what he did not. He should be used to this by now.

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.

(I presume here that by “earliest session” Seth refers to his first material on the fifth dimension, given in the 12th session. Space as a fifth dimension was however also referred to in the first session. See Volume 1, page 8. This first session material was given to us through Frank Watts, however. Frank Watts is a fragment of Seth’s entity. Seth stated recently that the Seth material begins when he announced his presence to us by name, and this would be in the 4th session. See the 85th session, Volume 2, page 336, for Seth’s statement concerning the Frank Watts material.)

There are chemical as well as psychic reasons for these effects, and at some times of course he operates more efficiently than others. During sessions there is a constant translation of energy from one dimension-plane to another, and on his part a change of reference points, allowing for such translations to occur.

I will say merely that when during these sessions Ruburt is open, so to speak, to other reference points both within and without your system, there is a vulnerability to other influences. He has spontaneously set up automatic resistances that block such influences, or open channels through which their effects may enter your system.

This takes energy, and on those occasions when there is much activity of this sort, he will be seen to become fatigued. The resistance is obviously necessary, however. It is this same sort of resistance, on a much simpler level, that he uses to block me whenever his ego becomes overly concerned.
