“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He sees more than you do, or more than his mother does, because he does not yet realize that you only accept certain patterns and reject others. By the time he is born he has already learned to accept his parents’ idea of what reality is. In a large sense he begins to train himself to focus only upon what you would call physical reality, though he still partially perceives other fields that you do not accept.

He is only recognized and his wants satisfied when he focuses in one particular reality. He learns quickly then to discard the others, for they do not meet his physical ends.

Now the fetus also hears, and the same thing applies here. He hears while within the womb, sounds from the, physical environment, but also sounds within the available range of reality that are not accepted as such. When the infant is born he still hears these sounds and voices, but again they do not meet his physical needs nor bring him milk when he cries, and gradually he discards them, focusing upon that data which best serves his physical purposes.

For sometime he literally perceives many levels of reality at once, and part of what seems to be disorientation is simply the result of early confusion with so much data. According to the situation and the individual, the fetus may still be receiving messages from those he has known in the past. This adds to the confusion, and it is a matter of physical survival that he largely ignores these messages while he learns to focus in physical reality.
