“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.

There are personalities however to whom it is highly alien. It must be interpreted. Using concepts, I can relate my understanding of your time pattern to others clairvoyantly. Other portions of my entity are aware of it, by a process of mental osmosis, so to speak.

Those portions of my entity that have not had physical experience, however, do not operate within that time system, at any time(smile), if you will excuse the pun. It is not beyond them. They simply have not chosen the particular experience, nor delved into that moment point.

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 have no fear of them. All of this is a progression, I will say for simplicity’s sake. Now in such an environment, time as you know it does not exist. This is one of the reasons why some projections are so confusing, particularly when the ego is taken along for the ride. (Humorously.) It is used to past, present and future, kept nicely apart.

(Smile.) I am giving you this as preliminary material, for you have asked how my big brother experiences time. (See page 5.) Do you want to take a break?

The following morning his condition was worse than it was during your entire vacation. From then on, however, it improved. He would not have been able to take your mountain jaunts at all, earlier. I was having a heart-to-heart talk with him. I have had others, but this was the first time he barely remembered.

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.
