“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

While this may sound quite sacrilegious scientifically, it is possible to understand the electron’s nature and greater reality by using certain focuses of consciousness: by probing the electron, for example, with a “laser” [beam] of consciousness finely focused and attuned — and more will be said about this later in the book. So far in any of your investigations, you have been probing exterior conditions, searching for their interior nature.

To make this clear: When you dissect an animal, for instance, you are still dealing only with the “inside” of exterior reality, or with another level of outsideness. (Pause.) In a manner of speaking, when you probe the heavens with your instruments you are doing the same thing. There is a difference between this and the “withinness” out of which all matter springs. It is there that the blueprints for reality are found. There are various ways of studying reality. Let us take a very simple example.

Your closest point to the withinness of which I speak is your own consciousness, though you use it as a tool to examine the exterior universe. But it is basically free of that reality, not confined to the life-and-death saga, and at other levels deals with the blueprints for its own physical existence.
