“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is basically as meaningless in essence, to ask this kind of question as it would be to pause in the middle of a dream, and wonder when first the dream location was created: To stand facing a dream landscape and wonder at what point in time the rocks had their origin. For there is a great similarity between the so-called world of dreams and the so-called world of matter, as you should know.

The material of the physical universe is created spontaneously and constantly, even as the dream locations in the dream world are so created; and as it is impossible in terms of time as you know it to set a point of beginning in the dream world, so it is impossible to attempt to do the same as far as the physical universe is concerned.

In time as you know it, there simply is no point of first origin, since in the spacious present the past does not exist, as the future does not exist in those terms. The dream world is more closely connected with uncamouflaged experience in the spacious present, but it still is in a camouflage perspective, dealing with recognizable projections of material reality.

The barrier, if it may be so called, is not so much in the nature of the two dimensions themselves, but in your own limitations, since presently you are focused mainly in one of these. Until a certain area of psychic development is attained, awareness, or rather direct awareness, is only possible in one dimension at a time, though experience in other dimensions in varying degrees may be received separately.

You are not known for what you are in these dimensions. You are not recognized in your human form. You are known only by effects. In some of these dimensions you are chemically and even electrically a reality, in others electro-magnetically.

In some, only the constant telepathic psychic communications are picked up. These, in this particular other dimension, appear as something that could be compared to the winds that sweep across your own earth.

These projections, from this dimension into others in this manner, again, are not unusual. Projections in terms of reference points appear also in your dimension, and you have as little knowledge or understanding of their true nature, as inhabitants of other dimensions have of your own.

Yet these projections or effects from your dimension into others, and from other dimensions into your own, do cause definite reactions within the plane in which they occur; and various attempts will be made, and are made to interpret them, but always within the framework of accepted, known phenomena. Therefore such attempts in this manner are doomed to failure.

As you know, camouflage elements are formed from the vital energy, which itself forms of itself all dimensions and all realities. It exists within all camouflage, since the camouflage itself is merely the form that is adopted. The inhabitants of any dimension, or whatever makeup, are still whole-self constructions.

The subconscious has great and rather astounding effect in dimensions other than your own, and it sends vivid projections into these other perspectives, that appear there and are in their turn perceived in distorting manner by the outward camouflage senses of those inhabitants. And yet their inner senses give them hints of your reality.

You exist and have effects in more realities than you know, and you perceive bits and pieces of other perspectives that appear in your own dimension. This is why I have told you, long ago, that your cause and effect theory was ludicrous. It only applies to your own dimension, and will never make headway in explaining those numberless projections that appear within your universe from a dimension separated from it.

There are here in what you call the subconscious, abilities and realities of which you know little, and as you see how the subconscious projects itself into other dimensions, so will you see more clearly how energy is projected outward to form your own world of matter. There is much here to be explained.
