“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.

In the beginning of your sessions, Seth spoke about what he called the fifth dimension, and gave you an analogy meant to represent it. His tiny wire analogy can now be considered in this light. These are of course imaginary, but the image will help you understand the concept. (Pause.)

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.

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 realities are formed by psychic intent, and the true cohesiveness is intuitive. The deep connections that occur, for example in various reincarnations, are not apparent to the ego. The connections between us, now, are far more logical than any simple cause and effect.

The apparent boundaries of your own physical system therefore are composed of psychic intensities and projections that are set out by the entities who have decided to experience physical reality. (Pause.) You agree upon your time concepts—they are like gentlemen’s agreements. You have agreed, a large number of you, to ignore the existence of reincarnation. When you decide to accept this, then of course adequate proof for it will be found. (Long pause.)

As far as what you consider the race of man to be, unsuspected value fulfillments and progress will follow after this mass recognition. This will change civilization as you know it.

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.

What your scientists have learned about the physical genes barely scratches the reality of diversity, even physically. The miraculous and pristine originality of every moment, even as you know it, can hardly be vocalized. The diversity of atomic structure is as yet hardly suspected. And all of this is but the physical materialization of the inner reality within one system.

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.

(“Well, we can take the break and then see what develops.”

I told my friend that you were ready for this development. Opening the new channel is the important thing. Then you can find out what fish you have hooked through it. Opening the channel requires work on my part also.

(Pause.) And tell Ruburt he is a rascal. He will know what I mean.

(“What do you mean?”)

(“Oh… What do you think of the remark Jane made the other day—that the earth represents our subconscious?)
