“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(On two occasions within the last week—Saturday and Sunday—Jane walked for the first time in at least a year. She took a few steps without the aid of her table or chair each time—very encouraging progress for her, and fitting in with what Seth has had to say recently about her coming spontaneous urges to begin walking again. Almost each day we reread some of the late sessions doing with letting go, trust of the body and impulses, and similar concepts; they have been a great help. The last session is particularly good in that respect, dealing as it does with the stages of the healing process, the gradual lessening of discomfort each time such a bodily process takes place, etc.

The varieties of consciousness—the inner “psychological particles,” the psychic equivalent, say, of the atom or molecule, or proton, neutron or quark—these nonphysical, charmed, strange forms of consciousness that make experience go up or down (all with amusement), and around and around, are never of course dealt with.

I have mentioned counterparts in a very gentle fashion, and families of consciousness, as these are related to mankind. These are the “largest” psychological particles in the terms of our discussion. The problem is, again, that while you are focused in the world of matter, you are allied with only one aspect of your entire consciousness. In a way, you perceive your consciousness almost as you perceive the smooth surface of the coffee table (indicated). You even relate to your consciousness in an objective fashion.

Many people feel that they have a consciousness in the way that they have a car. You perceive events in the same fashion, almost surface-wise. There are particles that move faster than light. There are portions of your consciousness that move faster than light also—but while you conceive of your consciousnesses as a kind of psychological particle, then your experience of it becomes limited to the world of matter in which you believe it must exist.

(9:56.) In a strange fashion, of course, the word “invisibility” only has meaning in your kind of world. There is no such thing as true psychological invisibility, and basically consciousness can perceive without light in physical terms. Matter seems composed of mosaics of particles, interacting in electromagnetic fields, but the mosaics of consciousness interrelate in ways almost impossible to verbally describe.

The so-called laws of cause and effect operate at a certain level of consciousness. The level of consciousness itself creates the experience of cause and effect. Other portions of your consciousness are quite actively, vitally engaged at other levels, yet there is no division between you and them. There seems to be only because of the beliefs that cause you to limit perception. Those beliefs, of course, include the experience of time as a steady progression from past to future. Time, in those terms, is simply part of another kind of event.

Ruburt is progressing well with his psychological experience, and that is allowing the body’s continued release.

He should have a taste of a higher level of consciousness again, which further lifts him out of the cause-and-effect sequence. Some dreams he has forgotten have already begun to acquaint him with new developments. Change in sleep patterns are beneficial also, because quite without knowing it you automatically tune your consciousness to the time of day, relating to it in a certain fashion, and the night work offers a releasing pattern, an alternating current almost.

(10:26 PM. “I got such good information through,” Jane said, “that I thought the session lasted much longer—I felt way out, as though I was transcending time, like I was tuning in to a nugget of information that seemed endless. That was a great feeling....”)
