“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I have said that the electrical universe is, again, a materialization of a sort of inner vitality, of which everything is composed. This vitality has a reality independently of any and all such materializations, which brings us to a most interesting point.

It should be easier now for you to understand this vitality, since we have already spoken in terms of reality existing by means of intensities. You will recall that I spoke of distances in terms of action, and that these distances occurred not in a perceivable framework of the sort with which you are familiar, but that I spoke of distance that had its reality in terms of the varying intensities within any given electrical actuality.

Once more, your own inner psychological experiences, and the inner life of every individual, can lead you to some understanding along these lines. Nor, as I said earlier, should this seem so strange. Mankind names and identifies even what he cannot see, and he divides and he separates. As I mentioned, when you look into a mirror you do not see your ego. You can never see it. You experience it directly, and so do you experience directly this sort of distance of which I speak.

But as you cannot find life by dissecting a frog, you cannot find this sort of distance by exploring space. When you dissect the frog you destroy that which you had been seeking. You are left with camouflage. Only by direct experience will anyone know of these matters.

Nor does Ruburt. He either goes overboard and overdoes, or does nothing in that respect, and I believe in other respects. The half-hour limit should always be maintained, however. You should be able to experience now, directly, the sort of distance to which I have referred.
