“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

His controls are not good. He is actually between various probable systems, in which however each of you have an interest. It is as if you were, say, distant cousins. Oddly enough your neighborhood, with a rather high saturation of doctors, is a help here. Perhaps I should mention that in your terms (underlined) he is an older man.

He has more time for such experiments now than he did when he was younger. This particular probable system, generally speaking, exists within the same space framework as your own. Now you know of positive and negative matter. There are also other kinds of matter forming other systems of reality, invisible to your eyes, as is negative matter.

There are in fact infinite varieties of matter, existing in what you would call (underlined) one space framework. Using the physical senses, you can of course never perceive the existence of these other systems. Advanced training with the inner senses can lead to such explorations however. Your friend is more advanced—his system is more advanced than yours in this respect.

Give us a moment. In the same way that thoughts can be sent through space, so individual consciousness can be sent through systems, using various methods. As a seed can fly through the air enclosed in a sheath, you see, so can individual consciousness travel through systems. But it must be protected. Certain drugs can protect it.

In your time the periods of high conscious activity would run approximately for three days, followed by a day and a half to four days of inactivity, according to the circumstances. This involves a transfer of conscious energy from a home system to an alien one, and certain more or less automatic changes must be made from system to system, involving the use of brain waves; certain patterns being normal in different systems. There are other brain patterns for example than those discovered by your scientists. The brain patterns simply reflect the kind of mental or psychic activity, and other kinds of activity will give you different patterns.

The drugs also help in changing the patterns when it is necessary. If the brain patterns were not changed on entering and leaving a system, then theoretically at least the consciousness could become trapped within any given system. Acceleration or de-acceleration, you see, but mentally. (Decelaration.)

The drugs also insure that consciousness will not come back to the physical brain too quickly, to shock the system. There are methods by which the relative behavior and condition of the travelling consciousness is monitored at the other end. In case of any severe dangers the consciousness will be pulled back, but this is highly dangerous.

Give us a moment. (Pause.) Nothing new. Originally he set a rather massive assault upon his physical system, that did involve among other things, infection. Literally he was infected by negative ideas. As he rids himself of these he rids himself of infections. The words used make little difference.

States of mind are not permanent. Their reflections upon the system are not permanent, generally speaking, though they can be cumulative. It is much easier to pass through such periods if names are not given to symptoms, and many people pass through many so-called diseases without ever being aware of it.
