“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.

The point is that as something that comes and goes and passes, that brings into existence and destroys, has no such reality outside of your own system. Now your own system includes not only your physical universe as you know it, but also any personalities, living or dead in your terms, who are physically oriented.

The spacious present is much more a vivid reality to those outside of your system. Your time seems marked, individually, by birth and death. When these are known for what they are, when the personality can change form at will, such quote “timing” is meaningless.

So also are all neurobiological structures that depend upon a time system, as for example your own nervous system.

It is very difficult for them to understand your ideas of past, present and future. Now give us a moment. (No real pause.) In other dimensions, or if you prefer at other stages of development, the multidimensional personality is aware of its prime identity, and is also aware simultaneously of personality offshoots that it has sent into many realities, into probable systems, as it pursues all of the probable acts and creations inherent in its nature.

All That Is is itself evolving. It is not aware of all of its own purposes, for some of these are ever new. In some respects therefore, there are no cut and dried answers. As far as your own system is concerned, I have told you that the past ever changes, and here we enter the realm of probabilities; for at any point in any man’s life, where a decision was made, the other probable alternative actions were also taken.

Then you will move on to other systems. Before we take our break, tell Ruburt that I will look in on your Boston friend telepathically, and on another level I will give what help I can. I have, for that matter, already been there once this evening. You may take your break.

Some systems are built entirely along these lines. Always there is the expansion of consciousness, though the lines of these progressions may be quite alien to your own. There are far too many complicated discussions along this particular line, so we will not attempt the matter now, but merely note it as one we will develop in the future.

You incidentally received benefits from your vacation. Simply being out in the air allows for a larger give-and-take between the molecules of the physical system and the atmosphere.
