“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. Your idea of space and time then is definitely determined by your neurological structure.

Now that is the challenge and the ideal, and it is met to varying degrees by personalities at various stages of development. Obviously such personalities need far more than the neurological systems with which you are presently equipped. For such systems such experience is literally impossible. Now your neurological system is physical but it is based upon your own inner capabilities as of, quote, “now.”

Now your time, your past, present and future, as you conceive of them, would be experienced entirely as present to many of these other personality structures. However your past, present and future would be experienced entirely and completely as past, to still other personality structures.

Now there are personalities developed enough to do this. And each act of leaping, so to speak, forms a new thread. Now following through with our analogy, imagine yourself A. We will start you off in physical reality at thread A, though you have already traversed many other threads to get where you are. We are merely beginning with thread A since this is your present situation.

Now. Any such self A would, without understanding or shortcuts, development, or even average progression, would travel thread A along the narrow line toward infinity. At some point however thread A would turn into thread B. In the same manner at some point thread B would turn into C and so forth.

At some inconceivable point all of the threads would be in turn traversed. Self A, now on thread A, would not be aware in his present, of the quote “future” selves on the other threads. Only by meeting one of these other selves however can he become aware of the nature of this strange structure through which he is traveling.

Now all of this sounds complicated, but only because we must deal in words. Intuitively, I hope, you will be able to understand it. In the meantime the overall self is forming new threads of activity, you see. The frameworks that it leaves behind can be used by others. (Pause. As I’d asked earlier.)

Now. There is, and this will certainly seem a contradiction in terms, there is nonbeing. (Pause. Jane lit a cigarette.) It is a state, not of nothingness in your terms, but a state in which probabilities and possibilities are known, anticipated, but blocked from all expression.

Not being, in other terms, is impossible. It is being without the means of expressing being. Now, every portion of consciousness is imbued with innate knowledge towards the means of expression and creativity. If, and this is impossible, all portions but the most minute last unit of All That Is were destroyed, All That Is could still continue, for within the smallest portion is the innate knowledge of the whole.

We do know that within this system, this overall system now, of our All That Is, that creation continues and developments are never still. Therefore we can deduce that on still other levels of which we are unaware, the same is true.

And each self is endowed with the agony and the impetus, for it is a fabric from which All That Is made itself, and all that you know. Perhaps now you can understand why it is so difficult to try to explain matters to you in terms that you can understand.
