“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Once before, in the first and 18th envelope experiments, an object was used that was similar but not identical by any means. In the first experiment in the 179th session, Seth came through with one accurate impression. In the 18th experiment, held during the 212th session, a few more impressions were obtained; but overall the results were interfered with by other factors in a way that doesn’t seem to happen these days. See Session 179 in Volume 4, and Session 212 in Volume 5.

In the diagram for example, each star would represent a moment point in another system. It appears as matter within your system, from your viewpoint, and exists as matter within your system. But it exists as something entirely different, you see, within another system. You perceive but the lowest point of its reality, so I will tell you now that the various stars and planets and heavenly bodies that you observe in your universe do indeed exist as such, but only within your system.

Now, I will tell you further that these dimensions merely represent various capacities of consciousness. All these dimensions exist at once, and even within your system, but your consciousness cannot perceive them.

It is easier then to say that they appear as matter when they are projected into your system, but this is not precisely correct. Nothing but the various stages of consciousness separates the dimensions, you see, but the separation is quite effective nonetheless.

Other systems exist within the same space occupied by your own, but you cannot perceive them.

The inhabitants of some of these systems can perceive you. All of these inhabitants of various systems cannot perceive you however. Some are more or less within the same level of consciousness, but the perceptual mechanisms are entirely different.

Survival personalities exist in a system that is within the same space as your own. They can perceive you, but you as a rule cannot perceive them. They pass beyond that system however, even as you pass through your system into theirs, and little by little they move away from your system entirely.

You can conceive of a fourth-dimensional cube, for example, but you cannot conceive of a fourth-dimensional thinking process. You cannot conceive of a fourth-dimensional psychological structure. You cannot think (smile) in fourth-dimensional terms. You cannot use fourth-dimensional imagination, you see.

Now, our object seems to be round, like a top: And also, like a top, capable of some motion. Brown and white in color, moving counterclockwise I believe, upon a small standard. It may be some sort of scientific device—I do not know, but it is a mechanical device.

Some connection with an invitation, or an attempt, perhaps to communicate. (Jane gestured with the envelope, which by now she had lowered from her forehead.) Give us time… Mention of building, or implied mention… (Pause, but I didn’t wait long enough.)

(“An M”, We can make M connections but do not know if we are correct. One could be Marian Spaziani; Jane uses a dream of Marian’s in chapter five. In this case see the “Connection with four people…” data on page 147. The word manipulate is found twice in Jane’s handwriting on the object itself; but there are also three other words on the object that begin with this letter: Mean, en masse, and more.
