“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. The planetary system of which we spoke in our last session was the first one within your universe, when you are speaking in terms of time.

It is very difficult to explain to you that the universes that you see, the stars and planets that you view, are one-dimensional, comparatively speaking. You only perceive the portions of them that are apparent within your own system of reality.

You are seeing shadows upon a blank and a black screen. The three-dimensional system is like a shadow of realities that you do not perceive. Now. (Pause.) The heavy hydrogen molecules had a large part to play in the birth of that system. Consciousness had first to create the void, or the dimension in which the system could exist, and also to endow that void with all the probabilities for development that have come about in your time, and are to come about.

This vast void, this infinite mind, came out of another that was greater than itself. (Pause, smile.) The possibilities that have come to reality within this universal system have each given birth to other systems and other realities, as one tree bears a thousand seeds. (Pause.) You yourselves through your own mental actions create realities of which you yourselves are unaware, and you give birth to more than physical children.

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.

In this abundance nothing is meaningless nor wasted. There is interrelationship, intertwining realities, and connections that cannot be denied. I told you that dream reality consisted of more than you knew, and that the dream universe continued whether or not you perceived it. Within that context those inhabitants dream in turn their own dreams and form electromagnetic realities. You are not at the top nor at the bottom of the heap of consciousness, so to speak. You are not at the center. You are not at the rim.

All obviously then exists at once. To your way of thinking some lives are lived in a twinkling, and others last for centuries, as some huge trees. The perception of consciousness is not limited however. I have told you for example that trees have their own consciousness. The consciousness of the tree is not as specifically focused however as your own. To all intents and purposes the tree is conscious of 50 years before and 50 years hence.

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.

The subjective reality of one man, left alone in the universe, would emit enough energy to seed another. That sentence is not distorted.
