“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Time does not have certain characteristics when you view it as past, or when you view it as future, or when you view it as present. Any seeming difference between the past and the future is simply due to your own perception. Much of the material that I have given you concerning the nature of physical matter will be helpful when considered in connection with this material on time.

Time inversion would merely permit the recreation of a particular perception. The year for example 1943 was simply an artificial collection of events loosely agreed upon. The past exists to the same extent that the present or future exists, and it is only the perception that is limited.

Gradually psychological structures are able to focus upon vaster areas, and in order to achieve proficiency in this manner you do indeed begin to build up layered selves that have been independent identities. These varying perceptive abilities organize so that their perceptive powers are pooled in a gestalt that eventually forms a new identity, a more complicated psychological structure that is capable of perceiving larger areas of reality.

From the viewpoint of this emerging self you can view to some extent the system in which the earlier self was mainly imprisoned. Now I speak of imprisonment. I do not speak in terms of compulsory confinement however. Your perceptions simply kept you where you were. You could not clearly see even where you were, for the dimensions were not clear to you from the inside. You could not scale the wall, so to speak. You had to grow taller, if you will forgive me for using another analogy.
