“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, other planes and systems are as real and as unreal as your own. They are all formed from inner vitality, which is the basic or ground reality. Many other systems reflect inner reality more clearly, with less distortions, but the distortions themselves are creations. All systems are then formed mentally, including your own.

This does not mean that they are imaginative in those terms usually used. There is an electromagnetic connection within and beneath all systems indeed, but this is only the result of inner mental connections. In each system you test inner knowledge by checking it against the unique and particular rules of that system.

Within your system expectation indeed forms your own physical environment. This does not mean that the rich, for example, have attained to spiritual status necessarily. The personal environment taken as a whole, with interpersonal relationships, is an indicator of the inner situation, however.

In projections, you see, you must dispense with normal psychological root assumptions. You must momentarily realize that doors are not solid. The assumption is only a convenient one within your physical system. Doors are solid: This is not a basic truth, you see, but a convenient root assumption.

Now, in one sense, all selves are projections of the whole or that which is. New universes such as your own constantly come into existence. Systems and planes far different develop and in turn form other systems. Infinity has meaning only in subjective and psychic terms. The physical brain cannot contain the idea of infinity.

Now, “There is no place to go" if you know what is truly meant by that statement. It is also true that there are as many places to go as you wish to find. You always create the places and the destinations at which you arrive. There are no places, and there are infinities of places. The inner self forms all systems and all places. On the one hand you can indeed call them illusion. On the other hand, these illusions are quite real. They are the clothing over the basic reality.

Basic reality cannot know itself without creating diversity. The diversity is the various forms that reality takes, the various systems within which it expresses itself through projecting itself into infinite individualized experience. Now that sentence is an important one.

There are also portions connected with your identity, however, within other systems, and these are more advanced than your own psychological self. Again, I am speaking in your terms. These can be compared in this context, you see, to minor gods, and your mythologies are full of these. They are also obviously in contact with All That Is.

Some of these have been within your system, in your terms of continuity, and are now beyond it. They also represent your personal connection with All That Is. At times these personalities do aid their own and give instructions.

Now: One point here before we close. I would like to give some hint as to the psychological realities that form personality structures on higher levels than your own. These personalities are able to deepen value fulfillment amazingly through an expansion of consciousness that allows them to focus into many areas within the systems and planes simultaneously.

That is, not only would they be aware of what seems to you to be past, present and future within your system, but they would be aware of several other systems and be able to function within them simultaneously, gaining and creating experience within all of these systems, even while maintaining overall identity. They would be conscious, for example, of themselves as, say, an entity, and simultaneously they would be aware of separate existences as individuals in various systems. This is as far as we can carry this at present.
