“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At 8:55 as we sat for the session Jane got another flash, concerning time, that it is “intensely personal, that we create it,” from Seth. She thought Seth would speak on time this evening, in continuing answer to my question in the 422nd session; concerning the manner in which Seth’s larger entity appreciates our time system.

Now. Time is the pattern of perception. It is highly personal, and has no meaning without personal experience. To you, then, time is the result of your perceiving mechanisms. You know the senses force you to perceive experience in certain pattern. Because I have also followed this particular reality, it is meaningful, for me, and I can understand it.

Now words belong to your particular time system. Without it, they are not needed. Therefore communication is dependent upon your time system. The inner self however is not so limited, as you know, and inner communications continue always beneath words. Word structures and language itself bears a unique mathematical precision. The placement of emphasis, the vowels and consonants, the length of time to utter them, all of these issues are intimately connected with your own nervous systems, and with the intervals inherent within your time system, between thought and action.

There are unities, barely contemplated, then, between language, exterior communication, the physical nervous system, and time, or your idea of it. These merge so beautifully that they all serve to form a seemingly perfect picture of physical reality. The camouflage would not be effective were it less perfect. (Pause.)

You are beginning to perceive the holes in the camouflage, for I have pointed them out to you. They are doorways into inner realities, and other realities, as are these sessions. Those who have survived physical death in your terms, must use words in their communications, for you do not understand wordless communications. They themselves are far freer, however.

Several other methods of communication occur. They do not spring from nowhere. You use them beneath conscious level to some degree now. They grow into prominence. Images are widely used, but these images would be fourth-dimensional to your way of thinking. They are far from flat. They have a reality, and these are, what you have read, referred to as thoughtforms.

The freedom will also show in our sessions, and rather obviously, within a very brief time. It is already apparent. To become aware of other individuals who are not within your system will be good for him. It will also help him to understand and appreciate my own unique reality, and this now-growing belief should result in a greater familiarity. He should be able to perceive me to some degree before too long.

For all of these reasons I suggest the letter be mailed. The fact of the letter shows that he had reached a certain level of acceptance and understanding. These people can and will help him, and add their mental and psychic energy to his own in a strongly supportive manner. They will be able to activate other layers of his consciousness, and they are indeed professionally suited to do so, as I am to teach.

Spontaneity will rise up during the hours given to work, and outside those hours, but he must continue those habits upon which his well-being depends. The energy that will be released will show itself most beneficially, being directed into your other affairs. Our sessions will now be held with normal regularity, and very shortly I will begin my own book. I have been working on it, you see. (Amused and confidential.)

This had to do with our chat, that he recalls as a dream. It resulted in your mountain-tumbling, which was very important to him. Some rather important changes crystallized, which seems something of a contradiction, as far as his own thoughts were concerned. He hinted at this when he told you that he was concentrating upon recovery.

They were highly impressed. They did not, however, see through Bernard’s real meaning. Van Over did sense it. He has some abilities of his own, incidentally, of which he is not aware. When Ruburt is completely healed his health will be exuberant—not a halfway thing. It is his way. (Amused.
