“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Later you may not recall it, but you have a more direct connection with reality in the dream state, and the intensity of the dream experience is more completely perceived. I am speaking now in terms of basic reality. It is less camouflaged in the dream state. For this reason, in any projections you may be startled, for here you also enter a less strictly camouflaged situation.

You would then encounter the heart of the camouflage area. The completely uncamouflaged areas at the outer edges of the various systems should remind you of the undifferentiated areas between various life cycles in the subconscious. This is no coincidence, as this general setup occurs in all realities.

The completely uncamouflaged layer could be rather bewildering. However you might automatically attempt to project images within it. The images would not take, so to speak, but would appear and disappear with great rapidity. This would be a silent area. Thoughts as a rule would not be perceived here, for the symbols that form them would not be understood.

The traveler must leave his own camouflage paraphernalia completely behind however, or he will go nowhere. It is possible, theoretically, to travel to any system in this manner, and bypass others you see. Such a traveler would not age physically. His physical body would be in a suspended state. The traveling consciousness would lose all physical conception of time however. A very few individuals have traveled in this manner to any extensive degree. Most of the knowledge gained escapes the physical organism however, for the experiences could not be translated by the physical brain.

True motion has absolutely nothing to do with space. The only real motion is that of the traveling consciousness. (Long pause, eyes closed; one minute.) Spatially, a painting is flat. Its reality leaps out from its physical dimensions, and completely escapes them. (Long pause.) The depths within the painting do not physically exist, yet they are perceived.
