“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, indeed you are. And... as a piece or chunk of physical matter... you are indeed immediate and here. You do not understand the ways in which you project the physical matter of yourself into this room, however. When you understand that completely and fully, you will no longer be within physical reality. But that is of little notice. You will never notice the difference. In any reality, you create the image that you see. And the reality that follows this one will seem as physical to you as this... and as real. But you will have freedoms within it that you do not have now.... Not unless at 8 o’clock in the morning you leap from the rooftops and fly through the windows to your death.

([Tom:] “He talked some more about physical matter... an elaboration on the things we’ve talked about during the evening. The reality on another plane or in another dimension is just as physical as what we experience as physical here... just as real, seems physical to them. But the freedoms are greater, so that when we think of something on another plane, it happens instantaneously. Whereas here, there is a time lag between the time we think of something and it results in a created action or object. In the time lag on this plane, there are other thoughts, projections on the same idea or object; Seth declined to go into their effects on the final idea or object until a later time.

(“By our projecting our thoughts to this finished product, we can influence our health, our future, our position, etc. We should picture ourselves as being in a state of good health. Now I would assume that this same thing applies to a station or vocation...”)

(Pause. [Tom:] “My interpretation of what he said is that (1) good health is a natural part of ourselves, and so we should naturally desire it, and (2) good health in itself is not the objective at all. It is what you can do when you are in a state of good health. We carried it into another dimension besides health... vocational aspects. We project ourselves ahead mentally to vocational status we are interested in, and by doing that, accomplish it. It is not the status itself that is the end. It is what we are able to do through it, that we should really be aiming at.
