“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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 these planes of actuality can never be explored by any physical vehicle. They would appear as incomprehensibly vast as your single planet would appear to a single fly, who set out to examine it. Perception of its characteristics would be impossible. To you physical objects would seem so far separated in space that you would lose your way, and not perceive realities as they there existed at all.

You would not be able to perceive a sufficient amount of data to make any deductions. This is not to say that such planes or fields of actuality cannot in some manner be perceived, but they will escape physical perception or exploration. In dreams, when the self is somewhat free from camouflage, perhaps it is possible for the self then to travel spontaneously into such fields of actuality; but since they are as bizarre to the self as is the dream world itself, then there is no way, usually, for the sleeper to distinguish between the universe of dreams or other actualities.

These fields or planes are more various than you can imagine, and they are formed in the same manner, basically, as your own universe was formed, and many of those inhabitants tune in on your universe spontaneously and quite accidentally. But the inhabitants of most such planes are no more aware of your actual existence than you are of their existence.

It will be impossible to go into even a fraction of such planes of actuality.

We will only concern ourselves with a few, those of which I am at least partially familiar. These planes of actuality, of course, all operate within the spacious present, and with a value climate. While portions of them may protrude into physical actuality, they will do so with varying proportion.

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.

Your mistake is in judging existence by its protrusion into matter as you are familiar with matter, and this attitude indeed will persist into any foreseeable future without basic change. This attitude is a defense mechanism, most understandable, since your plane or field of actuality is so involved in its relationship with material construction. There is a freedom, however, in independence from material construction that inhabitants are familiar with in other actualities.

The physical organism itself then, even as you know it, exists and moves and reacts and influences, and is influenced by, many fields or planes of actuality; and its existence as you know it in your universe is determined by and dependent upon its existence within other fields, of which man is still intellectually ignorant.

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.
