(Indeed, we were out of beer, which Jane usually drinks during the sessions, and she didn’t want any wine. “I feel him — Seth — around now,” she said, “but it’s like last time: I’m getting stuff, but I’m waiting until it’s clear … I don’t really feel looped, but the center of focus I always use in the sessions seems strange. There’s an unfamiliarity about finding it. I’d say, although I don’t know, that I’m already in a deeper state than usual …”

Of course they move faster than light. There are millions of them in one atom — many millions. Each of these units is aware of the reality of all others, and influences all others. In your terms these units can move forward or backward in time, but they can also move into thresholds of time with which you are not familiar.4

There are systems in which a moment,5 from your standpoint, is made to endure for the life of a universe. I do not mean that a moment is simply stretched, or that time is slowed down alone, but that all the experiences possible within a moment become realities within that framework.

It is important, however, that you realize the fact that there is more creativity and variety in an inner reality than you ever physically perceive.

Many physicists now think it untenable to consider that each condition or event in the universe embodies the same kind of time. Physicists and parapsychologists have suggested various sorts of minute and undiscovered entities (mindons, psychons, psitrons, and so forth) that can move backward in time relative to our conscious conception of what time is, or that are at least free of our idea of a time that flows inevitably forward. Or consider the positron, which is a positively charged electron, a bit of antimatter that’s said to be temporarily moving backward in time. (“Regular” electrons, as we think of them in our world, are negatively charged.)

6. For the second time in the session, Seth referred to the chance that the individual might feel insignificant within the enormous reaches of the inner universe. He also mentioned such a possibility in the 681st session at 10:00. (See Note 2 for that session as well.)
