“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. If you will recall our early sessions dealing with value fulfillment, let us now consider what I prefer to call a moment point. This moment point, as you know, refers to any given present instant. If you are thinking in terms of Dunne’s theories, then start out with this moment point as it is seen in time one by self one.

(Early in the sessions Seth began giving us lists of the inner senses and the basic laws of the inner universe. Value fulfillment, or the value climate of psychological reality, is the first basic law of the inner universe; Seth presented it in the 45th session in some detail. See Volume 2.

Other portions of the self, on the one hand, are not so limited. It must be clearly understood however that these other portions of the self are incapable of the ego’s intense focus within physical reality. Their focus is elsewhere. However, these selves are not limited as is the ego to one main field of perception only, in the manner which Dunne believes. Dunne does leave intervening areas between dimensions which may be perceived by an observer from a neighboring dimension, but all in all his serial selves are to some large degree prisoners of those dimensions in which they exist.

(During break Lorraine asked if we still conducted envelope tests. When we said yes, she told us she had brought a test envelope with her. Moreover, it was one I had given her myself when she witnessed the 172nd session of July 26,1965. Handing her the two envelopes and the two pieces of Bristol, I had asked her to pick a test object, seal it up, and give it to me the next time we saw her, without telling me what the test object was. She had picked the test object last August, then mislaid the envelope and forgotten it; in addition I hadn’t asked her for it.

To this degree Dunne was correct. But the important point, if you will forgive a pun, is that these moment points are all intensities, electrical realities, and traveling through such dimensions involves a transformation of energy from one intensity to another. The whole self, or the entity of which I speak, is composed of all of these selves, but it must be realized that all divisions between these selves are illusions, basically speaking. For the sake of discussion we separate them, but in doing so we almost manage to change the very nature of that which we attempt to study.

Other portions of self one are to some extent aware of these other dimensions. Now you see where we are heading. For now consider what we shall call self A. And we shall say that he is the physical self in the physical universe. He is composed of physical matter, he is composed of psychological matter, a portion of this latter being ego. From your own work you realize however that this individual, or self A, is indeed more than physical matter, even while he exists within the physical dimension.

But self A is not limited to the ego’s perceptions only, therefore it may be said that self A’s perceptions are not limited, in toto, to the field in which it exists. For it is not so limited in dreams and in other states, yet while consciousness is in these other conditions, self a still exists within physical reality.

I am going to give you a break, and we shall begin then with our material for Dr. Instream, and see what we can do with our time systems.
