“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are many implications here, and now perhaps you can understand why I gave you the information on the nature of action before I introduced you to the inverted time system. For action is action whether or not you perceive it, and probable events are events whether or not you perceive them as such.

Thoughts are indeed events therefore. Wishes and desires are events. As you know, wishes and desires also influence those actions which will be perceived by you as actual events in the physical universe. The human system responds fully as much to these events as it does to physical events. In the dream state often portions of these probable events are experienced in a semiconscious manner. This amounts to a bleed-through, and I use the term purposely, for your recorder can serve us here in an analogy.

Each channel will represent a portion of the self, each one existing in a different dimension, and yet all part of the whole self, or the whole tape. You can see that it would be highly ridiculous to say that the material on your Mono One was any more or any less valid than your material on Mono Two. Mono One and Mono Two could be compared then to self one and two; self one and two here, however, in the context of the ego as self one and the subconscious as you know it as self two. We are not using Dunne’s terms here, in other words.

We will imagine then these various one and two, Mono One and Mono Two, multiplied, literally, an endless amount of times. Now on your recorder I believe you have a setting for stereo. This enables you to unite and combine harmoniously the elements on the various channels simultaneously. I am taking my time here so that we get this clearly, for I do not often come through with the pure clarity of stereophonic.

Permanence as the ego thinks of it would be an alien concept to these portionsof the self, and to them a highly distasteful concept, adding up to rigidity. Flexibility is the key here, a voluntary changing or alteration of the self as it is allowed to change freely with each probability that is explored. Experience here therefore is of a plastic nature. Some thought concerning your own dream state may give you an intimate key to understand what I mean here.

Now, do you have a test for me? I will from here on in ask if you have an envelope instead.

An afternoon. Many colors. Two men, one taller than the other. Both of them here at one time or another.

(“Many colors.” We can think of connections here but do not have enough data. I neglected to ask Seth to elaborate when he resumed.

Since we covered some of our own material quite well this evening, I will add a few comments here on other matters.
