“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In other probabilities, water-dwelling mammals predominate. They farm the land as you farm the water, and are only now learning how to operate upon the land for any amount of time, as you are only now learning how to manipulate below the water.

The physical universe serves then as a threshold for probabilities, and all possible species find their greatest fulfillment within that system, each of them neurologically tuned into their own reality and their own “time.” So the body itself, as it presently exists, is innately equipped with other neurological responses that to you would seem to be biologically invisible. Nevertheless, your consciousness and your beliefs are what direct this neurological recognition. At birth, and before structured learning processes begin, you are far freer in that regard.

You could (underlined twice) walk into “yesterday” as well as tomorrow at that point of birth — if you could walk — and indeed your perception brings you events both in and out of time sequence. Responses to out-of-time events do not bring the infant recognition, approval, or action, however. It immediately begins to learn to accept certain neurological pulses which bring results, and not others, and so neurological patterns are early learned. This can be a frightening process, though it is accompanied by reassurances. The infant sees, out of context, both present and future without discrimination, and (intently) I am speaking of images physically perceived.

In the same manner, the species as you think of it is at one level aware of its own probabilities and “future” lines of development. The child learning to walk may fall and hurt itself, yet it does learn. In the same way the race makes errors — and yet in response to its own greater knowledge it continues to seek out those areas of its own probable fulfillment.

(11:50. Jane’s trance had been profound. She was amazed to learn that it had lasted for over two hours; actually, she had run through the whole session without a break. “It’s still a different kind of trance,” she said, “and once you’re in it, it’s better to stay there. But it’s exhilarating in ways that I can’t explain.
