“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is precisely because of this failure, because of man’s endeavor to explain data in terms of his own field only, that so much seems either unexplainable, mysterious, or beyond the realm of intellectual comprehension. By following such a course mankind severely limits the amount of data that reaches his own perception. He tries, therefore, to construct a model of the universe with only a handful of available clues.

The clues which he does not look for would lead toward not mere dry generalized facts, but facts that are at the basis of the universe as he knows it. Facts indeed that make such a universe possible, facts that would revolutionize science, and most of all the science of medicine, and the field of psychology. The study of so-called extrasensory perception is now considered an isolated bizarre domain, unrelated to other fields of knowledge. The reason for this is that the data that would connect such a study to all other fields of interest is not recognized. The study of the inner workings of the self is closely connected to the study of the universe as it exists in all its levels of reality.

The pieces to the puzzle are at mankind’s fingertips, but he has put together an awkward, ill-fitting miniature model universe of a puzzle with which he is afraid to part. If the physical universe existed on a physical field only, indeed this would be the greatest miracle of all, for it would be impossible. The inner vitality of which we have so often spoken, and whose ways I have described, this inner vitality is the force which itself forms the physical universe, and without which no such manifestation would be possible. Yet this inner self, this inner vitality, is one of the main clues which man refuses to recognize, calling it an unreasonable assumption, but not willing to examine it for those characteristics which show it to be the most reasonable and logical of phenomena.

Your own universe has its existence within many fields, and exists as an actuality, exerting force, within these fields.

Force of various kinds is also exerted by these fields upon your universe. Until it is thoroughly understood little real progress can be made. Mankind still deals with surfaces, depending mainly as he does upon the powers of the outer ego, whose purpose it is to deal only with surface reality.
