This is certainly the case with the quasars. Until an intuitive insight strikes, the quasars will not be understood.
(Seth began talking about quasars and related background material in the last session. That material in turn resulted from a question I asked, or a comment I made, in the 246th session. Once again, quasars are quasi-stellar radio sources, presumably at the farthest reaches of our observable universe according to our instruments. They contradict our laws of physics, being many times too bright for their size and distance, and emitting much too much energy. See the article on them in Time magazine for March 11,1966.)
Now. They represent energy in a much more pure form than any with which you are acquainted in your system. This does not necessarily mean that such energy as that displayed by the quasars does not exist within your system. We shall discuss that later. But you are not acquainted with the existence of such energy.
Now. Looking from your planet, outward as you think, at the quasars, your scientists believe that they look backward in space, in your terms. This is erroneous. It is true enough within the present framework of your knowledge, and the idea will work in the same way that the cause and effect theory works, which is only up to a certain point.
It is impossible for you to perceive what these quasars represent. You can only perceive distorted projections of these quasars.
[...] While the quasars appear to be filled with more energy than man can conceive of, still the quasars that are now perceived are but shadows of the reality behind them.
[...] But these laws do not apply outside your system, and they certainly do not apply to your quasars.
What your scientists are perceiving is the form, the camouflage form, which the projections of the quasars take within your system.
[...] We will end up talking about your quasars, but first we need introductory material.
(In the 246th session I remarked that we’d like Seth to discuss the remarkable quasars, or quasi-stellar radio sources, that have caused so much discussion in astronomical circles lately. [...]
[...] But if it seems that we are far afield from the spacious present and quasars, then you are mistaken.
[...] On the Sunday following this session, a leading New York City newspaper reported that astronomers have observed two components of a quasar flying apart at, apparently, ten times the speed of light. [...]
(Quasars — quasi-stellar radio sources — are extraordinarily powerful sources of light and radio waves. [...]
Since the matter surrounding a black hole would also be drawn into it, some astrophysicists have suggested that this might emerge into another universe through its opposite — a white hole — where it would be seen as an extremely brilliant quasar, or quasi-stellar radio source. [...]
Interestingly enough, several very distant quasars have been linked to certain observed faster-than-light effects, thus contradicting current physical theory that nothing can exceed the speed of light. [...]
