Let us discuss numbers in terms of identities.
This is in connection with the lectures you are being given having to do with time and identity. Though numbers are abstract they can serve our purposes well here. One number, for example 7, can be considered itself as an identity. Now, it may become a portion of other numbers in infinite varieties, and yet it is always itself.
(Pause; one of many.) It may be a portion of many groupings yet still retain itself. Three and four will add to seven, yet three and four are their identities and will always be so in your terms. The numbers on the other side of zero, the minus numbers, represent identity in that time of relative nonbeing. The paradox is that the numbers therefore cannot be conceived of as not being, so the minus sign is used.

Pretend then that behind or within but unseen by you, behind or within the number 1, for example, there are an infinite number of other 1’s, lined up so to speak behind the one that you see. (Jane leaned forward, gesturing:) The one that you see is the self that you see or recognize within your system. The 1’s behind are not serial, nor identical, nor duplicates.

In the same manner any of the unit intensities behind each number may change position while still remaining itself, and retaining its individuality as a unit. If you use x and y rather than 1 and 2, basically the same is true. Now this analogy applies to identity. You are in a world where you see one particular intensity unit—belonging say to number 1.

For this reason your ideas of time and identity remain limited. Now. Other dimensional realities do appear within your system but you do not recognize them. We can acquaint you with some of these. We can tell you what they appear like within your own reality. (Long pause.)
You can learn to experience some of these, and the experience of no-time is a particular facet to which I am referring. The experience itself will automatically to some extent allow you to understand the dimensions of your own identity, but old familiar props will not be available.
