“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane said she had no idea of what Seth would talk about before the session began. She began speaking with a smile, her eyes open and very dark.)

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.

As a rule there is little communication, you see, through those uncamouflaged or undifferentiated areas. They act in fact as boundaries, even while they represent the basic stuff of which all camouflage is composed. Without the camouflage, you see, you would perceive nothing using the physical senses.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 again, theoretically, it is possible to travel under such circumstances and perceive experiences that would ordinarily take you centuries, physically speaking, and in only a flash of your time.

Practically speaking, this is seldom done, but it has been on occasion. The brain cannot contain such episodes. A portion of the self would retain these experiences. Now in a creative individual, some of these could be expressed symbolically in a painting or other work of art, but the ego could not consider them as actual.
