“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now to return to our discussion. The matter of time is highly important if you have any hopes of understanding the self in its entirety, or other personalities that do not operate within your system. The psychological frameworks are so different. The apparent cause and effect sequence is absent, and identity knows itself as itself through other means than continuity, in your terms.

As a personality learns to use its abilities it becomes more aware of complexity, and able to operate as an identity within it. Since I have known your time it is meaningful for me, though it no longer hampers me. I merely understand its reality for you. Other psychological structures have not been initially aware of this peculiar relationship between your physical framework and your time concept.

Now the time sequence, while followed physically by your animals, is psychologically experienced far differently. They are much freer. Your past, present and future does not concern them. They also have memory of the past and future, but always experienced within the context of the present; and this is quite at variance with your own experience.
