“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The barrier, if it may be so called, is not so much in the nature of the two dimensions themselves, but in your own limitations, since presently you are focused mainly in one of these. Until a certain area of psychic development is attained, awareness, or rather direct awareness, is only possible in one dimension at a time, though experience in other dimensions in varying degrees may be received separately.

These projections, from this dimension into others in this manner, again, are not unusual. Projections in terms of reference points appear also in your dimension, and you have as little knowledge or understanding of their true nature, as inhabitants of other dimensions have of your own.

You exist and have effects in more realities than you know, and you perceive bits and pieces of other perspectives that appear in your own dimension. This is why I have told you, long ago, that your cause and effect theory was ludicrous. It only applies to your own dimension, and will never make headway in explaining those numberless projections that appear within your universe from a dimension separated from it.

While the two dimensions seem entirely separate, and while it is most difficult, nearly impossible, to dwell within both simultaneously, there are effects which occur in both. The two perspectives or dimensions do exist simultaneously, even though you cannot inhabit them simultaneously.

5. Since he cannot see up or down (as we cannot see the fourth dimension) he is not aware that his “future” is already there and that his “past” still exists. His third dimension is time but he cannot see it. Similarly our fourth dimension is time and we cannot see it. [...] All of the past and the future exist now to those who can see time as the fourth dimension. [...]

[...] Because “he” is two-dimensional “he” sees dimensions in his plane, as we three-dimensional beings can see in our three dimensions. He cannot see up or down, as we cannot see (or even imagine) our fourth dimension. [...]

AN AID IN VISUALIZING TIME
AS A DIMENSION
BY: ARNOLD PEARSON,
MEMBER OF JANE’S ESP CLASS. [...]

[...] There are even other physical dimensions which do not appear physical to you, your antimatter being one. [...] Some dimensions, or planes or fields, contain others, and some are sufficient unto themselves, with others dependent upon it, as for example your fifth dimension as I have explained it.

Width, height, length have no meaning in dimensions that do not have existence in space as you know it. Time as a reference point has no meaning in a dimension that has its existence wholly within the spacious present.

(I presume here that by “earliest session” Seth refers to his first material on the fifth dimension, given in the 12th session. Space as a fifth dimension was however also referred to in the first session. [...]

You can see that in that fifth-dimensional existence there can be no constants as far as reference points are concerned, since by the very nature of the dimension, camouflages are adopted to fit numberless other dimensions as the structure itself continually changes.

The beginning of your physical universe occurred when conscious energy directed enough of its attention (long pause) in what was generalized dimension, to spark the formation of physical properties. [...] The first explosion of psychic energy in an ungeneralized dimension sparked the birth of specifics.

Before this the generalized dimension was simply nonexistent, a vacuum, which consciousness had not yet filled. Since consciousness or action can never fully materialize itself, there are literally infinities of such nonexistent areas from which new dimensions can spring.

[...] (Long pause.) Consciousness then formed out of itself a new dimension which was the physical one. [...]

From itself, therefore, and of itself, consciousness gave birth to its new dimension of experience, and then experienced what it had created, further extending itself and in turn bringing forth further possibilities of development.

In one way or another, the more powerful truths or facts of this “higher” dimension were interpreted and set down. [...] (Long pause.) Michelangelo lived, literally again, in the heroic dimension. [...] You can therefore inhabit the heroic dimensions in the most vital of ways while you still live on one level your recognized existence. [...]

Now: you are yourselves alive in the heroic dimension, and there your existences here are consciously-embarked-upon journeys. [...] The two dimensions are not separate, therefore. [...]

Now: there are indeed heroic dimensions. [...]

(11:00.) You say that the books are Ruburt’s, yet I told you that you are also responsible, for your combined intents, purposes, and abilities combine to form “a super intent, a super purpose, a super ability,” and propel you into those heroic dimensions. [...]

The ego cannot see that this moment point is open, so to speak, and represents an opening into many other dimensions. These dimensions may be traveled through; but they may not be traveled through by the ego, for the ego can only perceive those dimensions which it is physically equipped to see, or perceive.

[...] Dunne does leave intervening areas between dimensions which may be perceived by an observer from a neighboring dimension, but all in all his serial selves are to some large degree prisoners of those dimensions in which they exist.

[...] There are indeed limitations inherent within their structure, but in all cases any given identity is more than the dimension in which it finds itself. Its limitations may be great, but the limitations are set not by the identity’s nature but by the dimension in which it exists.

Two of these statements may appear at first glance to contradict themselves, but you shall shortly see that they do not, and you are left for now with a pretty question: for does the self, or identity, then form the perceptive dimension in which it exists, or is it created by the dimension?

(Very loud.) I want you to climb the vowels and syllables of this voice as if they were indeed a ladder, and let them carry you into dimensions that are native to you, dimensions that are yours by right, that are your heritage; (really booming) dimensions of awareness that you carry within you both day and night, beneath the level of your ordinary days. [...]

[...] And know that you will return to the room, that the physical image is still within it, but allow yourself the freedom to travel between dimensions, to accept what comes to you gladly, even our Lady of Florence over there in the corner; to open up joyfully and follow, (to Florence) and you close your eyes. [...]

[...] Your experience is your own, in whichever dimension you have it. [...]

Consciousness is a way of perceiving the various dimensions of reality. [...] The physical senses allow you to perceive the three-dimensional world, and yet by their very nature they can inhibit the perception of other equally valid dimensions. [...]

[...] It looks into subjective dimensions that are literally infinite, and from these subjective dimensions all objective realities flow. [...]

[...] I am outside, returning momentarily to a dimension that I know and loved. [...]

[...] I hope to take you on a tour through the levels of reality that are available to you, and to guide you on a journey through the dimensions of your own psychological structure — to open up whole areas of your own consciousness of which you have been relatively unaware. [...]

[...] In that dimension therefore Ruburt was aware of both presences. He was perceiving the greater dimensions of the physical class event. [...]

[...] It represented the larger dimensions of the event of the class, and those events that composed it did take place at a different level of actuality.

[...] But these simply represented the greater, usually unperceived, dimensions of any class event (or of any perceived event).

[...] Ruburt was out-of-body, as he knows, and in that state he was perceiving the greater dimensions of the class event, and trying to correlate this with ordinary class perception. [...]

[...] As each cell of your body has its position within your corporeal space and boundaries, so each self within the entity is aware of its own “time” and dimension of activity. [...] The cells, however, while a part of this body, are not aware of the entire dimension in which your consciousness dwells. [...]

[...] The self-memory is, of course, of far greater dimension.

So the entity or “greater” psychic structure of which you are a part is aware of much larger dimensions of activity than you are, yet in the same way its more sophisticated consciousness rests upon your own, and one is necessary to the other.

You however do have free will, for while the entity’s psychic structure can be compared to the body, it is a part of and inhabits far greater dimensions. [...]

[...] The dimensions that you give to physical matter barely begin to hint at the varieties of dimensions possible.

(9:30.) In greater terms, it is impossible to separate one physical event from the probable events, for these are all dimensions of one action. [...] There are always inner pathways, however, leading between probable events; since all of them are manifestations of an act in its becoming, then the dimensions between these are illusions.

[...] The mind, which is the inner counterpart of the brain, can at times perceive the far greater dimensions of any given event through a burst of sudden intuition or comprehension that cannot be adequately described on a verbal level.

As the present life of any individual rises from hidden dimensions beyond those easily accessible in physical terms, and as it draws its energy and power to act from unconscious sources, so does the present physical universe as you know it rise from other dimensions. [...]

[...] You are not only creatures of corporeal being, forming images of flesh and blood, embedded in a particular kind of space and time; you are also creatures rising out of a particularized dimension of probabilities, born from dimensions of actuality richly suited to your own development, enrichment and growth.

[...] There are dimensions of action from which all diversity arises. All individuality that seems to be swept away because one action seems to terminate another, such individuality is indeed the result of the dimensions of action.

[...] However basically no such separation exists, for an identity is also a dimension of existence, action within action, an unfolding of action upon itself; and through this interweaving of action with itself, through this reaction, an identity is formed.

[...] It is a dimension of action. [...]

[...] She feels that just recently she has in some manner begun to experience concepts in a more involved, different dimension of consciousness. [...]

I come to you from a dimension which you neither know nor understand, and yet that dimension is a portion of all reality. [...]

[...] The inner senses will help you perceive other dimensions. [...] I am here simply at Seth’s request to tell you that the dimension that you know is but a small spot in the all of reality, and also, that your concept of a god is highly distorted by three-dimensional concepts and ideas. [...]

I have not been [a] personality acquainted with your own reality or with your system or with your dimension. [...]

[...] Seth, she said, felt very pleased with himself when he referred to the fifth dimension material; as if to say, “See, this material is why I couldn’t explain any more of the fifth dimension to you, way back in the 12th session.”

Action may show itself as motion, but it is much more than motion in the terms which you usually use, and motion is but one small dimension within action’s realm. [...]

The dimensions of consciousness are not arbitrary. [...]

They are a dimension, as I mentioned. [...]

Our material on the fifth dimension seemed almost infinite to you at the time. That is, the fifth dimension appeared infinite in its complexity, but you see that it is but one dimension within an infinite number of dimensions. [...]

I do not intend to number indefinitely, or list, an endless number of dimensions of actuality, though we will go into this later to some small degree. I am much more concerned for now that you understand the dimensions of action as they exist within the dream world, within psychological realities, and within other scopes with which you are yourselves somewhat familiar.

(See the 12th session for Seth’s first discussion of the fifth dimension.)

[...] When your ordinary, conscious, waking mind is lulled in like your sleep state, you travel in other dimensions. You are already having experience within those other dimensions. [...]

[...] When you leave this dimension, then you concentrate upon the knowledge that you have gained. [...]

[...] And then imagine that all about you there is another dimension and you need only take one step at a time ... [...]

Now, dear friends, you all dwell in the same unlimited dimension....you simply have not opened your eyes to see it. [...]

[...] Change our knife image now into an imaginary rocket ship, so that our dissection involves many more dimensions. [...]

[...] I use the word shape for simplicity’s sake, but the electrical universe is composed of dimensions which are perceived by the inner self, for the inner self also has existence within the electrical universe. [...]

The physical body is formed about its electrical counterpart, yet they are both intertwined in completely different dimensions. [...]

All depths here, and all dimensions here in the electrical system, are all in terms of intensity alone. [...]

As you dream, and have a dream existence while still involved in the physical dimension, so is the physical dimension a dream within another dimension in which your consciousness is far more acute. [...]

[...] It is a more comprehensive existence in one way, in that while you solve problems that exist in your physical life, you are also free of physical life to some extent within it, and free to travel to other dimensions.

[...] Often in physical life then, you are also working out solutions to problems that exist in a quite different manner, and in a completely different context in this other dimension.
