“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At 9 PM we sat waiting to see if a session would develop. Jane wasn’t aware of anyone being present at first, but at 9:15 she got a slight impression of the cone effect, described in the last two sessions. We talked about the material on coordinates, and at 9:25 Jane got a sentence within concerning them. She didn’t think it was from Seth. She also said it disturbed the connection when she talked about what she had received.

These coordinates are psychic structures, and they form the cornerstones of all realities.

The intersections of the various wires forms various coordinates. Some of these are of such immense intensity that they form systems (long pause, over one minute) that contain what you would call universes.

Through these openings whole groupings of self-structures experience, and reexperience in different ways, the dimensions within those coordinates. But no boundaries really close a system, and within any set, any given set of coordinates, there will be others. (Pause.)

We will take your physical system as an example. There is general and mass focus of all self-structures within that system, binding enough and cohesive enough so that the appearance of a permanent and all-pervading physical reality is maintained. The ego part of the structure concentrates with great intensity, directing itself within those coordinates that form physical reality.

As Seth explained, even this cohesiveness is rather an illusion. You exist at the same time within many other coordinates. A shifting of focus is quite simply the main requirement for perceiving these other coordinates. But to shift focus to them presupposes a knowledge of their reality. Otherwise only a momentary and accidental encounter with them can ever occur, as far as you are concerned egotistically.

The coordinates are composed of intensities. They are electromagnetic in structure—at least this is the closest I can come in explaining them to you. For while they are electromagnetic, as Seth told you, they are living in that they are something like psychic projections.

We will be working to explain coordinates to you. We are barely beginning to hint at their reality and importance. Every reality exists within unique coordinates. There is some overlapping, but the main focus within any system is entirely unique. There is no contradiction, no exception. This applies in the most minute circumstance. (Pause.) No experience is ever like any other, no individual or no self structure.

The coordinates have nothing to do with time as you know it, nor with space as you know it, though in your system they form the reality in which time and space appear. A creative event is far more significant than twenty years of boredom, you see.

I did not say idleness, for this can be creative, in terms of creative enjoyment. You changed your own coordinates to some extent when the Seth sessions began, for you have freedom within the system.

Seth is of course a part of the session whether or not he speaks, as you are accustomed. In one way Ruburt’s pyramid image is quite legitimate, for you and he are at the base, with Seth in the middle and myself at the top. This forming simply a structure of coordinates through which information can flow.

(I thought the session was over. Jane lay back on the couch as we talked about coordinates. Then I saw her eyes close; her face took on a certain familiar expression, she smiled, and I knew Seth was going to speak. 10:30.)

We have not coordinated our coordinates; I am simply here to reassure you.
