“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This inwardness is so adaptive and self-generating, seeking all outlets and possibilities, that it not only in your case formed a physical universe, but found new ways, operating through the new physical universe, to construct an additional field or plane within and completely through, or on the other side of while yet within the physical universe; this being your dream world, which is made possible because of the physical mechanisms and involvements themselves.

It will be found in some important respects that the dream universe, which began even then, has somewhat the same relationships to the physical universe, but on a psychic level, that the physical universe has to the universe of negative matter. They represent skins, layers of skin, all belonging to the same fruit. Someone holding the fruit might be able to peel away the layers, but as for the fruit itself, the layers while making up the fruit are to all intents and purposes separate.

This has been somewhat, though not too far, off the subject. I had intended, and still will, involve us in a discussion of the parallel development of the physical universe, the world of negative matter, and the dream world. For each one depends upon the existence of the other.

Nor have I forgotten any of the psychological time incidences. These will all be covered in a particular sequence of particular material devoted to them in a chunk, so to speak. Nor could I have even begun this explanation of the relationship and growth of the physical universe, the universe of negative matter, and the dream universe at a much earlier date. The preparations had to be laid.

(Both of us have kept strict records of our psychological time studies, for example, with the hope that Seth will eventually discuss them. The records have now piled up to such an extent, however, that we do not really understand how Seth can ever cover them, as he has promised to at various times, in very much detail. Even if he began a discussion of them they would still accumulate. The same problem arises with dreams, with material on the inner senses, etc. So we settle for what we can obtain each session. Actually the time set aside for gathering material is quite limited, yet it keeps us busy.
