“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When you travel, so to speak, beyond a certain range of intensities, even pseudoobjects must vanish. They exist in a cluster about, and connected to, your own system. The lack of even pseudoobjects obviously means that you have gone beyond your camouflage system. If it were possible for you, you would then travel through a range of intensities in which no camouflage existed. Then you would encounter the pseudocamouflage, you see, of the next system. This would or would not be physical matter, according to the system.

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 sentence is really meaningless however, because the physical senses themselves are camouflage, you see. There would be nothing to translate. It is only use of the inner senses that will allow you to perceive under these circumstances. Theoretically, if you can bridge the gap between various reincarnations, then you can bridge the gap between your system and another.

Once more, the undifferentiated layers or areas are composed of the vitality that forms the camouflage of all systems. It is not therefore—that is, such an area is not, therefore—a separate thing in itself, but simply a portion of vitality that contains no camouflage, and is therefore again unrecognizable to those within any given system.

Now during some projections you may be aware of nothing as far as surroundings are concerned. There will be only the mobility of your own consciousness. If this ever occurs you will be traveling through such an uncamouflaged area. You could then expect to encounter next a more differentiated environment, that seemed to become more clear as you progressed toward the heart of another system.

The thoughts would not be perceived if they were present, you see. If a certain intensity is reached here however, a peak of intensity, then you could perceive the spacious present as it exists within your native system. You could, from this peak, theoretically look into the other system, but you would not understand what you perceived. You would not have the proper root assumptions, you see.

I have used here the idea of two neighboring systems for simplicity’s sake, as if they were laid out end to end. Obviously such is not the case. The systems are more like the various segments of a tangerine, with the uncamouflaged boundary areas like the white membrane between the tangerine sections.

The tangerine then would be compared to a group of many systems, and yet it would represent in itself but one small portion of an unperceived whole. The tangerine would be but one segment, you see, of a larger system. You can see then why projections would lead you in a far different direction from your normal linear sort of travel, and why time as you know it would be meaningless.

Nor do such projections involve necessarily journeys through space as you know it. There are systems, extremely vivid in intensity, that have no existence in physical reality. It is now thought, I believe, that time and space are basically one, but they are both a part of something else. They are merely the camouflage patterns by which you perceive reality. Space, as you experience it in the dream state, comes much closer to reality.

Projections that deal with your own system will of course involve you in some kind of camouflage. If none is present you know you are out of the system. The dream universe is obviously then strongly connected with your own, since pseudoimages are present. Already you are free to some extent from the space-time reality of your system. Therefore within the dream state you are in the outward areas of your physically-oriented universe, you see.

One point first. There are other systems all about, and within your own.

The undifferentiated layers move out like spirals then, through all reality. Little resistance is encountered with them. They represent inner roads that connect systems as well as divide them.

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.

Now, some systems have no basic form, but adopt the form, the forms, thrust upon it. Your own system is obviously one of these. Other systems, by their very nature, set up a resistance, that resists. There is in such cases a constant battle of forms.
