“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 universe 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 do not understand the dimensions into which your own thoughts drop, for they continue their own existence, and others look up to them and view them like stars. I am telling you that your own 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.

Any consciousness is, therefore, innately aware of its basic identity. The inner self knows what is behind the physical stars and planets that the eye views, but the ego would be swept aside in panic at such realization.

The system spoken of earlier, the sun and original nine 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 basic reality, must always exist before its representation. There was intelligence, therefore, within that first system. Now, you may take a break and we shall continue, and my heartiest wishes to our friend (Sue).
