“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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. [...]

I am speaking now, in this chapter, mainly about your own planet and solar system, but the same applies to all aspects of your physical universe. [...]

[...] Yet man still sleeps and dreams, and that state is still a firm connective with his own origins, and with the origins of the universe as he knows it as well.

[...] Far from the claw-and-dagger universe, you have one whose very foundation is based upon the loving cooperation of all of its parts. [...]

[...] Your beliefs often tell you that life is hard, however, that living is difficult, that the universe, again, is unsafe, and that you must use all of your resources—not to meet [life] with anything like joyful abandon, of course, but to protect yourself against its implied threats; threats that you have been taught to expect.

Now: The Physical Universe As Idea Construction: Ruburt’s initial intuitive triumph.

[...] This is the most complex of systems, in which each detail has meaning—not only because of its unique individual nature, but because of the greater meaning that any one detail has in the larger mental structure of the universe.

In that regard, each detail adds to the significance of the universe, and adds greater or different meaning to each other detail. [...]

[...] The chemical, biological, electrical and psychic functions of the self are directly connected to the physical universe as a whole. Theoretically the influence of a particular given self is endless, and not only in so far as your own physical camouflage time universe is concerned. [...]

Now, you should see from this that your universe is therefore itself a gestalt. As an individual cell can be considered to be apart from the rest of the body, as its outer rim can be considered as something that divides it from the rest of the body, so the self can be considered as apart from the universe, and its outer skin thought of as dividing it from the rest of the body.

[...] I have said that each individual helps to construct the physical universe. [...]

(All with much emphasis and irony:) The idea of a meaningless universe, however, is in itself a highly creative imaginative act. [...] Indeed, then, the theory actually says that the ordered universe magically emerged — and evolutionists must certainly believe in a God of Chance somewhere, or in Coincidence with a capital C, for their theories would make no sense at all otherwise.

[...] You view the entire universe in a fashion that did not exist before, so that imagination and belief intangibly structure your subjective experience and your objective circumstances.

[...] There might be many gods or one, but there was a meaning in the universe. [...]

[...] They will see the world in black-and-white terms again, with good and evil clearly delineated in the most simplistic terms, and thus escape a slippery, thematic universe, in which man’s feelings seemed to give him no foothold at all.

What do you think this physical universe is? [...] By physical universe I mean everything with which we come into contact in any way at all—stars, chairs, events, rocks, flowers—our entire physical experience. [...]

“Because I say that you create physical matter by use of the inner vitality of the universe, in the same way that you form a pattern with your breath on a glass pane, I do not mean that you are the creators of the universe. [...]

[...] Others see the universe as a sort of theater into which we are thrust at birth and from which we depart forever at death. [...]

[...] Seth says that we form the physical universe as unselfconsciously as we breathe. [...]

[...] Even projection from your universe into a universe of antimatter is most difficult, for example. [...]

As your ordinary waking state perceives an entire universe of physical data, so each of these other states of consciousness perceive realities as complicated, varied, and vivid. [...]

[...] There is an unending conversation going on throughout the universe, and a most meaningful one. [...]

[...] Then, from another angle, she explored related ideas in Adventures; see Chapter 19, “Earth Experience as a White Hole,” in which she wrote, “What kind of a structured universe could explain both the inner and exterior worlds? If we consider the universe as a white hole — our exterior universe of sense — we at least have a theoretical framework that reconciles our inner and outer activity, our physical and spiritual or psychic experience; and the apparent dilemma between a simultaneous present in which all events happen at once, and our daily experience in which we seem to progress through time from birth to death.”

[...] When it emerges in another universe, the faster-than-light particles have slowed down, and the core becomes faster than light. [...] Before the emergence of the atom … oh, dear … as an analogy, you could say that the dead hole we’ve been talking about emerges as an atom in another universe. [...]

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. So there would be an exchange of matter-energy between universes or realities.

[...] (From session 682:) There are systems in which a moment, from your standpoint, is made to endure for the life of a universe…. [...]

[...] You form your corner of the universe, which is itself a part of another one. [...]

(Slowly at 10:03:) Each part is vital, and in one way or another there is instant communication between the smallest and the largest, the cobweb and the spider, the man, the entity, and the star — and each spins its own web of probabilities from which other universes continually spring.

[...] Since action of any kind, being composed of inner vitality, must seek materialization, the dreams become the constructions of that dream universe of which, again, we have spoken. [...] The dream once begun continues, and the dream universe itself forms anew other constructions.

If you will remember the three creative dilemmas discussed in our past session, you will see that we have here the reason for our self-perpetuating universe, the reason for termination within it, and the inherent necessity for change. [...]

[...] [I hadn’t created anything like that for her, though.] When Jane read her poetry to me I strongly felt once again her innocence and perception: “The universe keeps turning into us….” [...]

Now: In our book, I will be doing my best to explain the origin of your universe, and in such a way that most of the pertinent questions are answered, but man’s present concept of reality is so limited that I must often resort to analogies.

In the most basic of terms, as 1980 happens the energy that comes into your universe is as new as if (in your terms) the world were created yesterday—a point that will be rather difficult to explain. [...]

[...] Your dreaming and waking experience has a direct effect upon the entire universe. [...]

To me your world is a dream universe which I visit by invitation, a probable reality that I find unique and very dear — but one in which I can no longer have direct experience. [...]

[...] The child returns to the safe universe of tea and biscuits. [...]

[...] You have no responsibility to save the world or find the solutions to all problems—but to attend to your particular personal corner of the universe. [...]

[...] The particles of air being themselves composed of molecular structures having, as all molecules do, a generalized subconsciousness, and in condensed form a comprehension of the inner laws of the universe, are also then psychic as well as physical structures, as you should by now understand.

[...] Much energy is used by any individual simply in the construction of the material universe on your plane. [...]

[...] The terms are of course reflections, in your plane, of other basic inner laws of the universe which we have yet to discuss. [...]

[...] Needless to say, the use of energy, and of emotional energy in particular, varies in the male and female on your plane; and both methods of using and discharging energy are necessary to maintain not only psychic and emotional balance, but also to maintain physical balance as far as living things are concerned, and also in the counterbalancing effects within weather and nature as it exists in your physical universe.

Not only was he set against himself, but he saw himself as a part of an uncaring mechanistic universe, devoid of purpose, intent, and certainly a universe that cared not a whit for the individual, but only for the species. [...]

[...] It is an accidental universe, or it is not.

[...] No matter what the name it might go by, it represents man’s connection with the universe.

[...] Your help, again, with the suggestions is invaluable in terms of your loving active aid—but also because you are convincing yourself that you live in a safe universe, so that Ruburt does not feel that he must battle for himself and for you. [...]

[...] You live in a safe universe. [...]

[...] The inner self and the subconscious are not present in the physical universe, insofar as they take up no space within it. [...]

[...] The inner self adopts an ego in order to allow manipulation within the physical universe, and yet part of the ego is composed of portions from the inner self, while the bulk of the ego is allowed to develop through physical heredity and environment.

[...] The dream universe, for example, may intrude with unusual sharpness. [...]

[...] And then you can travel through these other doors, but you must be able to stand on your two feet in this universe.... [...]

[...] You should indeed imagine yourself, therefore, able to handle your energy effectively for your own good and the good of others; to imagine yourself as a channel through which the creativity of the universe can express itself. [...]

[...] Through your physical image the energy of the universe expresses itself. [...]

[...] And then you can travel through these other doors, but you must be able to stand on your two feet in this universe—and then you will go consciously where your body cannot follow and you will find your answers. [...]

[...] Through your physical image the energy of the universe expresses itself. [...]
