“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The nonphysical systems are frightening to the ego-centered personality; but the bulk of the individual’s reality does not lie within the physical universe, but in those unknown areas. As you know the ego is the topmost portion, so to speak. Were it not for the dreaming self the ego would not exist. Were it not for past existences the personality as you know it would not exist.

Elements from past, present and future may be indiscriminately available to you. There is the tendency to judge such inner experience in terms of reliable physical assumptions, this being an error. You may conclude that a given experience is the result merely of subconscious fabrications, simply because the time elements are obviously intermixed, or physical coherence or sequence is not maintained.

In a given dream projection for example you may experience an episode that is obviously in the physical past, yet within it there may be elements that do not fit. In an old-fashioned room of the 1700’s, you may look out a window to see an automobile pass by. Obviously, you think, there is subconscious distortion here.

You are basically capable of seeing this particular location as it existed a thousand years in your past, or as it will exist a thousand years in your future. (Jane indicated the living room in which we sat.) The senses serve to blot out many more aspects of reality than they allow you to perceive. They are actually rather rigid limiting devices, yet in many inner explorations you will automatically translate experience into terms that the senses can use.
