“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Entities, if they prefer, and under various conditions, when they become acquainted with others, may introduce to each other if they so prefer, various portions of their personalities. These various portions will be able to help each other and to aid in development. Take for example entity A and entity B. Self 4 personality of entity A may get along quite nicely with B’s self 6. A’s self 2 and B’s self 2 may not get along well at all, so the entities will shift to those personalities which have the greatest rapport, and use them to establish a relationship.

Now. Time then is an aid in one way, and it is used by multidimensional personalities for their own benefit. Use again the analogy of a road. Other dimensional personalities realize that they are perfectly free to leave the road, and that much more exists on all sides.

Your own race is the only one who plays with any facility. Other myriad life forms have nothing to do with it at all. You merely transpose your values upon them. They do not experience time as you do.

This does not mean that they are not advanced enough to understand the reality of your time. They do not share the illusion. Almost all animals, plants, birds, insects, rocks and trees perceive according to intensities. (Long pause.) The intensity of an experience is their present; but in many ways that I will not explain to you at this point, their present is of wider duration than yours. This does not necessarily mean that they perceive more of the past and future within their present than you do, for they do not in those (underlined) terms. But in terms of quality and value fulfillment there is greater duration and the “moment,” in quotes, is more intensely perceived.
