“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You agree to accept certain data in the physical universe. You agree to form this into certain patterns, and you agree to ignore other data completely. These, now, root agreements, form the main basis for the apparent permanence and coherence of your physical system.

In your journeys into inner reality you cannot proceed with the same root agreements, you see. Reality, per se, changes completely according to the basic root agreements from which you proceed. One of the root agreements upon which physical existence is based is that physical objects have a reality that is entirely independent of any subjective cause; and that these objects, within definitely specified limitations, are permanent.

Now these root agreements will only confuse you in your inner explorations. Objects may appear and disappear in these other systems. Using the root agreements just mentioned as a basis for reality, an observer would insist that the objects were not real, for they do not behave as he knows objects must behave.

Because dream objects appear and disappear, this does not mean they do not exist. In this particular instance the root agreement or assumption simply leads you astray.

Now. There is a cohesiveness to the inner universe, and to the systems that are not basically physical. But this cohesiveness is based upon an entirely different set of root assumptions or agreements, and these are the keys that alone will enable you to manipulate within, or understand, other systems.

There are several major root assumptions and many minor ones.

Five: Stability in time-sequence is not a prerequisite requirement for an object, except as a root assumption within the physical universe.

Different rules simply apply. There are other basic root assumptions that I will give you. Your subjective experience here is highly important. That is, the vividness of any given experience in terms of intensity will be far more important than anything else.

If you are trying to judge such an experience in terms of physical root assumptions, then it will be meaningless. You may, as I mentioned earlier, perceive the form of a building that never did exist physically, and never will in your universe. This does not mean that the form is an illusion. You are simply in a position where you can pick up and translate the energy pattern before you.
