“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The heavy hydrogen molecules had a large part to play in the birth of that (earlier) system. Consciousnes 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. The void, in other terms, can therefore be compared to a mind, and who can predict what images or thoughts will be given birth there? There are, as I have told you, countless such systems, and yet within them all there is identity and direction.

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.

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).

Now: again, each thought forms its own electromagnetic reality and is composed of energy which can never be dissipated, but only transformed. The subjective reality of one man, left alone in the universe, would emit enough energy to seed another. That sentence is not distorted.

(By 9:55 we thought she was out of trance, but this proved to be an over-estimation. Seth, or the trance state, lingered. Jane showed definite tendencies to go back into trance, notably a rolling up of the eyes, and I continually talked her out of it, gave her tea, etc.)
