“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(See the 41st session for Seth’s first long dissertation on the spacious present. This was delivered April 6. The 44th session includes much on the basic laws of the inner universe also, as do the other sessions received during this period. As this material continues to expand it becomes more difficult to pinpoint references on a subject to a given few pages.)

The physical image does not immediately disappear, for a number of reasons. The personality, through the inner self, has indeed created or constructed the physical form, but the very material from which it was constructed also contains its peculiar consciousness, as you know.

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.

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.
