“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(9:45.) When you try to control power or people, you always copy. To some extent the world copies itself, in that there are patterns.² But those patterns are always changed to one extent or another, so that no object is ever a copy of another — though it may appear to be the same.

(All emphatically and joyously:) In your terms, the world is intensely different from one moment to another, with each smallest portion of consciousness choosing its reality from a field of infinite probabilities.³ Immense calculations, far beyond your conscious decisions as you think of them, are possible only because of the unutterable freedom that resides within minute worlds inside your skull — patterns of interrelationships, counterparts so cunningly woven that each is unique, freewheeling, and involved in an infinite cooperative venture so powerful that the atoms stay in certain forms, and the same stars shine in the sky.

They came in clusters, dealing with certain particular questions and subject matter. Each call gave me the opportunity to see how various people organized exterior reality according to inner politics. Amazing that I hadn’t seen the connections earlier.”
