“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. Give us a moment. (Pause.) Do you want an explanation concerning the sepia episode, or do you want, now, some material concerning the entity and time?

Now. As I have told you, there is duration of a kind. What would correspond, in any case, to your idea of duration within the spacious present; it is a matter of intensities however. Now the entity is in itself composed of such intensities. Simply for the sake of analogy, imagine the image, a humanoid one, of an entity giant-sized, spread out anywhere in your physical universe. And if the image were projected against a midnight sky, within its apparent boundaries then you would see a multitude of planets and stars. Let these represent moment points. On one hand they are a part of the entity, as your cells are a portion of your body. On the other hand the entity’s consciousness can travel through these. They are doorways within his own psychological makeup, into experiences.

Now the image analogy is in some respects distortive, but good enough for our present purposes. For as you think of the matter of your cells as only matter, then it is hard to follow our analogy. But when you realize that your own body cells are much more than physical, contain their own capsule comprehension, then you will see that they could, at least theoretically, operate in such a manner if you could throw your own consciousness into them, and perceive their seemingly alien experience.

Now the moment points could also represent various personalities belonging to the entity, portions of its own consciousness that it sends upon the journeys of exploration and discovery. It is as if the nuclei of a cell could travel through itself. The boundaries of the entity would be imaginary, taking in as many moment points as the entity felt it could handle. (Pause.)

Now. Some personalities can be a part of more than one entity. This is something I do not believe we have discussed before.

(9:50. Jane had been in a good trance. Jane now said that she hadn’t been sure we could have a session tonight, as a result of our discussion beforehand. Note that the session didn’t begin until 9:27. This was not because the discussion had upset her, but because it had fired her up. She must be relaxed to begin a session. Resume at 10:01.)

Now. What I am trying to tell you is that a thought or a feeling, with all its varieties of intensities, is more like time, like the true nature of time, than all of your minutes or hours.

Nontime and entities—now that is another matter. (Smile.) For that is what we shall really be discussing.

Now you cannot hold too many thoughts in your head, in quotes “at the same time,” and many of your own thoughts escape you consciously. Entities are aware of all of their personalities, and keep track of them far better than you keep track of your own thoughts.

Now behind that simple explanation, you see, there are many subjects that we have not as yet embarked upon. I did not mean to put off an answer. I was simply not ready to give you a full one.

Now, you may take a break or end the session as you prefer.

(Humorously.) No time is my time... Now, I wish you a hearty good evening, and my fondest wishes to you both.
