“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

While the two dimensions seem entirely separate, and while it is most difficult, nearly impossible, to dwell within both simultaneously, there are effects which occur in both. The two perspectives or dimensions do exist simultaneously, even though you cannot inhabit them simultaneously.

As awareness develops, so do the abilities develop that enable the whole self to handle ever-varying data, and therefore to manipulate it and function within the perspective of its meaning. There are—

The whole self as you know has its existence in uncamouflaged energy, and is therefore capable of the assimilation of knowledge in so far as it can, if it chooses, be basically unaffiliated to any one camouflage dimension or perspective. In actual practice this takes a supreme development, but even for general purposes the inner self retains a freedom from camouflage perspectives, and is aware in varying degrees of other perspectives, and of its existence outside of them.

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.

I will not say outside of it since in many instances, if you speak in terms of space as you know it, then in space many perspectives occur together. It is not space that separates, it is the focus and the form of energy.

You will find that we have gone somewhat ahead this evening in our material. I wanted to mention the fact that the subconscious has definite effects, and casts definite projections into other dimensions or perspectives, as a basis for a more thorough discussion on the levels of the subconscious.
