“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If ever in a dream experience you defy gravity, then gravity is not a primary reality, but only a manifestation within your own physical system. If clock time is escaped within the dream state, then clock time is not a primary. What you cannot escape within any range of consciousness, can be called a Primary Condition, and you may capitalize the term.

You will find it a most rewarding experience, once these experiments have been begun, for you will yourselves discover the difference between primary and secondary conditions. Obviously the secondary conditions are to some extent necessary for your survival as a physical organism, but you are more than a physical organism now, and you shall be other than a physical organism in your future.

(Actually my writing hand was tiring, but I thought Jane was in an exceptionally good mood, and that she might want to continue. Seth must have caught on though.)

Now. If an experience is a part of the waking state, but not a part of the sleeping state, if it is part of the sleeping state but not a part of the waking state, then it is not a primary experience.

This, again, is not to say that it is not real, but that it is not a primary reality that is more or less constant for the inner self. If an experience is a part of all levels of consciousness—this includes the trance state—then it is a primary experience.

Once more, even the word time is misleading, but within the boundaries of your clock reality every individual feels at times—but you see that the use of the word itself binds us—but every individual feels now and then the primary sense of existence that is not arbitrarily divided into moments and hours; and he therefore escapes from a secondary condition into the realization of a primary reality behind it.

I believe a woman is involved, though she is not at this meeting, but seems to have something to do with the matter under consideration. One man has recently been on a long trip. The light-haired man.

I seem also to think of a lease, but do not know to what this refers.
