“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The void, in other terms, can therefore be compared to a mind, and who can predict what images or thoughts will be given birth there? There are as I have told you, many, indeed countless such systems, and yet within them all there is identity, and there is direction.

You do not understand the dimensions into which your thoughts drop, for they continue their own existence, and others look up to them and view them like stars. Now I am telling you that your own dreams and thoughts and mental actions appear to the inhabitants of other systems like the stars and planets within your own; and those inhabitants do not perceive what lies within and behind the stars in their own heavens.

Though they probe their own universe, they will not wander into your reality. They will only perceive the shape and form that your own mental acts, thoughts and dreams take within their own system.

This is some material that we have not given you, lest the implications lead you to thoughts of insignificance. But you are not simply receivers, you are also givers. As your own universe was formed by entities that you do not presently understand, so the discards of your own consciousness form realities for entities that are scarcely aware of your existence.

Any consciousness is therefore innately aware of its basic identity. The inner self knows what is behind the stars and planets that the eyes views, but the ego would be swept aside in panic. This system spoken of earlier, the sun and original 9 planets, in your terms, have long ago passed into and formed other universal systems. The whole cosmic structure however was the materialization of one original thought, for the thought, the real reality, must always exist before the representation of it.

Now. Each thought forms its own electromagnetic reality, and is composed of energy which can never be dissipated, but only transformed.

(By 9:55 we thought she was out of it but this proved to be an overestimation. Seth, or the trance state, lingered for some time. Jane showed definite tendencies to go back into trance, notably a rolling up of the eyes, and I continually talked her out of it, made her tea, etc.

(One circumstance that kept her in this state came to my attention when Jane casually mentioned, as she sat in her rocker: “Seth’s still here—he’s over to my right now,” and she reached out to her side with her arm. When I asked about this phenomenon she said she’d never thought to tell me about it before.
