“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are quite a number of your psychological time experiments that we will have to discuss. One of the reasons why we have not gone into them as yet is that you have tuned into other realities, and the realities must be explained before your experiments can be discussed.

A few of them did involve a tuning into the dream universe. There are many stations, so to speak, to tune into, and at present you touch the dials rather indiscriminately. Planes of actuality of one sort or another everywhere exist. I mean that literally. The apparent emptiness of outer space is far from empty, but these are not necessarily worlds that you could visit with the most advanced imaginable spaceship.

Many of them barely exist in a physical manner at all. Others to you would appear physically lopsided, with all of their matter concentrated, so to speak, in one place. The actuality of a plane, the validity of a plane, is not necessarily determined by its material makeup. On some planes this is so, but on a small number only.

We must also clear up some points on other topics. We will shortly be concerned more directly with discussions of individual dreams. It is necessary that a firm ground be prepared for such discussion. There are various doorways into the dream universe: chemical doorways, electronic doorways, and psychological doorways. All three must be opened at once, that is simultaneously, but any one door will automatically open the others.

(Jane now sat down in a wicker chair opposite my writing table. She had not been smoking while delivering the material. Her eyes almost shut, she groped about on the table for her cigarettes, lit one and then leaned back with her eyes closed.)

There are many more. It is known now that the physical organism exists as many things. It even exists as radio waves, and to creatures who cannot perceive matter but can perceive radio waves, your physical body appears quite differently than it does to you. The whole physical organism contains checks and balances of which your scientists are still not aware, and I must also mention that for all its mandy-pamby, astrology has a strong basis, although it is only one small portion of the whole story, and not indeed the whole kettle of tales.

The physical organism protrudes into many fields of actuality, and is to some extent perceived within these fields, and influences those fields as they influence the physical organism. It is because you conceive of the body as existing within one field only that you have not had more success in dealing with human illness.

There are automatic processes that are constantly carried out by the body, of which you are intellectually unaware. When a stoppage of one of these processes occur, there are ways of setting them into motion. These involve not surgery but a proper communication and adjustment, made through or by way of the subconscious to the inner self.

The inner self, which has been called the soul, has connections through the entire physical organism, and is not concentrated in any one portion. More adjustments are made by the physical organism than you know, and when I say that it exists in many fields, I mean that it actually not only appears within them, but is a part of them in an intimate manner, that the physical organism as it is materialized within your universe is actually a coming together and merging that has its existence, and is a blending of data from many planes, that would be considered foreign by the intellect.

The physical organism as you know constantly changes, and cannot be said to be the same from one of your moments to the next. To you it appears as a solid duration. On many of the fields within which it exists it is seen as constantly flickering, as say a fire.

This has been a fruitful session, and I am pleased to find us back on schedule. You will discover that this evening’s material on the physical organism in particular will be most helpful, particularly in future sessions. We will sometime or other deal with the maintenance of the organism, and then you will need this material. I hope it explains the comparative (underline comparative) rigidity of pattern which composes the body, which allows it to maintain apparent constancy; and one of the prices it must pay for this is a stabilization of a kind that the inner self is not bound by.

I will now end our session. My most fond wishes to you both, particularly since this is the beginning of your new year. May it be a fruitful one.
