“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

One note along these lines. A plane — and I am using your term; I will try to think of a better one — is not necessarily a planet. A plane may be one planet, but a plane may also exist where no planet is. One planet may have several planes. Planes may also involve various aspects of apparent time — this particular matter being too difficult to go into right now, although I will continue it later.

What they do is take quick glimpses of your plane — and hold in mind that the saucer or cigar shape [often] seen on your planet is a bastard form having little relation to the structure as it is at home base.

Planets have been used as planes and used again as other planes. A plane is not a cosmic location. It is oftentimes practical that entities or their various personalities visit one plane before another. This does not necessarily mean that one plane must be visited before another. A certain succession is merely more useful for the entity as a whole.

Theoretically, a thoroughly educated space traveler in your time, landing upon a strange planet, would be able to adjust his own consciousness so that he could perceive the planet in various “sequences” of time. If you land upon a planet in a spaceship and find volcanoes, you would, perhaps, realize that other portions of that planet might show different faces. [...] If you did not understand the change in qualities of space, you might imagine that the whole planet was a giant volcano.

In the same way, others can visit your planet with the same results. [...] Others have visited your own planet in that particular fashion. [...] Some intelligent beings have visited your planet, finding not the world you know but a probable one.⁴ There are always feedbacks between probable systems. [...] More will be said about this and your planet later in the book.⁵ The closest equivalent to your own kind of intelligence and being can actually be found not by following the outer skin of space, but by going through it, so to speak.

[...] You may physically visit the “very same planet” on which they reside, but to you the planet will appear barren, or not able to support life.

[...] There have been countless other civilizations that have destroyed themselves in the planet’s past, and before this when another planet was approximately in earth’s position. There were however civilizations that endured, that outlasted their planet, and went elsewhere.

[...] Such massive liberations of energy will be used, but not in your lifetime, to begin to unify the whole planet, in peace. This will not happen before disasters also occur, but when it does happen it will represent the first such time within the planet’s history where there was peace with equality for all.

There were 9 planets once, grouped like jewels around the sun. [...]

(“Do other stars have planets?”)

(“How many planets does Arcturus have?”)

(“How many of those planets are inhabited?”)

It is quite as true to say that the planets behave in a certain way because you are what you are, as it is to turn the statement around, as is generally done. The very positions of the planets and the stars are effects of the senses — perceptions that would have no meaning were it not for your own kind of consciousness. [...]

[...] You realize that someone — some interested observer — viewing the earth from another planet in another galaxy, would be seeing what you think of as earth’s past. [...] The positions of the stars and planets, however, and your time scheme, cannot be depended upon to give an indication of “causal” effects. [...]

[...] The stars and planets simply are in more than one place at one time. [...] Your experience of time and motion, as you know, is relative, and in comparison with your own relatively brief lives the planets seem to endure for almost endless periods. [...]

[...] It is very difficult to explain to you that the universe that you see, the stars and planets that you view, are one-dimensional, comparatively speaking. [...]

[...] I am telling you that your own thoughts and mental actions appear to the inhabitants of other systems like the stars and planets within your own; and those inhabitants do not perceive what lies within and behind the stars in their own heavens. [...]

[...] The inner self knows what is behind the physical stars and planets that the eye views, but the ego would be swept aside in panic at such realization.

[...] You cannot consume your planet. You will not be allowed to consume your planet. Free will is yours, however, and if you decide to ignore these inner realities you can destroy your planet and it will do you no good to cry to a God, for the God would not have destroyed your planet. [...]

You are not to dominate the planet. You are not to dominate the species upon the planet. [...] You are to cooperate with all life and all life is a part of All That Is and every animal has consciousness and you will realize this or you will destroy your planet. [...]

You will learn that it is cruel to bring into existence new consciousness when your planet cannot support it. For your planet will not be able to support it and spiritual growth cannot be achieved through starving bodies nor through the agonies of mothers who must watch their children starve. [...]

[...] The inner self knows what is behind the stars and planets that the eyes views, but the ego would be swept aside in panic. This system spoken of earlier, the sun and original 9 planets, in your terms, have long ago passed into and formed other universal systems. [...]

It is very difficult to explain to you that the universes that you see, the stars and planets that you view, are one-dimensional, comparatively speaking. [...]

[...] Now I am telling you that your own dreams and thoughts and mental actions appear to the inhabitants of other systems like the stars and planets within your own; and those inhabitants do not perceive what lies within and behind the stars in their own heavens.

(9:28.) On your planet they were involved in three particular civilizations long before the time of Atlantis; when, in fact, your planet itself was in a somewhat different position.

[...] Particularly in relationship to three of the other planets that you know. The poles were reversed — as they were, incidentally, for three long periods of your planet’s history. [...]

[...] Others, solving the problems, left your physical planet for other points in the physical universe. [...]

[...] They might as well have existed on different planets.

[...] But I found it at least roughly reminiscent of Seth’s idea of simultaneous time to watch the color broadcasts from different areas of the world each day, and then to mentally hold all of those actions, especially the backgrounds, in mind at once, visualizing them as simultaneous happenings at different places on the planet.

[...] But I saw similarities of course between those various news events happening in far portions of the earth today, and the thought that the American and European civilizations had existed for so long on the same planet, yet completely unknown one to the other.

(9:58.) Within that framework, it is possible to have sane and healthy minds within healthy bodies, to have a sane planet. The release and use of creative energy expended simply to maintain your planet and your existence, is impossible to conceive of. [...]

[...] On the other hand, your existence itself, the reality and nature of your planet, the whole existence in which you have these experiences, are also created by you, using the abilities of which I have spoken.

(“Can you tell us how many incarnations we will go through on this planet?”)

(“Do you travel in our space; among our planets, for instance?”)

Different planets different.

(10:44.) The rhythms of your body and of your consciousness follow the patterns of your planet. The planet itself is composed of atoms and molecules, each with their own kind of consciousness, however; and in the gestalt and cumulative cooperative organization of their nature the physical structure is formed — out of consciousness.

[...] With the precise night and day schedule that it possesses, your planet would, in those terms, give birth to a creature consciousness uniquely suited to fit it. [...]

[...] Your planet has a body as much as you have. [...]

[...] These people lived on a planet in the same space that your planet now occupies, in quotes “before” your planet existed. They destroyed it through their own error, and here reincarnated when your planet was prepared. [...]

Now: The physical planet is obviously also ever-changing while it is operationally or realistically or pragmatically relatively stable. The physical matter of the planet is also composed of literally infinite hordes of consciousnesses — each experiencing its own reality while adding to the overall cooperative venture.

[...] There is, however, an inner environment that connects all consciousnesses that dwell upon your planet, in whatever form. [...]

[...] The stability of the planet rests upon such changes and alterations, even as the body’s stability is dependent upon, say, the birth and death of the cells.

[...] They emerge from Framework 2, from the inner self, and they are based on the great inner webwork of communication that exists among all species on your planet. [...]

[...] The universe always was innately (underlined) objective in your terms, with its planets and creatures. [...]

[...] The planet was prepared, and endowed with life. [...]

[...] It prunes the planet, so to speak, so that there is a room and time for all, energy and food for all. [...]

If death disappeared on your planet even an hour all of life would soon be threatened. [...]

[...] In so doing he quite purposefully detached himself, in your terms now, from the body of his planet in a new way. [...]

With the birth of this consciousness came conscious responsibility for the fruits of the planet. [...]

[...] And while this is true, it is also true that the people on your planet need every bit of help and encouragement they can get from each person alive. [...]

[...] They remind themselves that the planet is overpopulated, and project into the future the most dire of disasters, man-made and natural.
