Session 137 recorded on March 3, 1965, finds Jane Roberts in a super-quiet bedroom setting, speaking for Seth in a vibe so slow and deliberate it was basically a spiritual slow-burn.
Your Chair is an Illusion (But a Consistent One)
First off, let's talk about the furniture. According to the source, matter is basically a "camouflage" for something deeper. You aren't just sitting on a chair; you are subconsciously building it.
- Every person creates their own version of a material object using their inner senses.
- No two people are looking at the exact same atoms. You’re essentially your own personal 3D printer.
- Identity is a wild ride: a chair is an identity, but it’s never the same chair twice because the atoms are constantly swapping out.
- As the session notes: "Each individual, creating, say, his version of any given chair, uses entirely different atoms and molecules in his subconscious construction of it."
Action: It’s Not Just Moving Around
Seth gets pretty deep into what "Action" actually is. Spoilers: it’s not just getting up to get a snack. It’s a literal dimension of existence.
- Action is a byproduct of "inner vitality" and is more like growth than force.
- It is the "breath" of reality. If you stop "acting," you stop being.
- Even dreaming is action. In fact, dreaming might be the purest form of action because it’s not stuck in the "camouflage" of the physical world.
- Action is what happens when inner vitality tries (and fails) to fully materialize itself in our world. It’s the tension between the ideal and the practical.
The Science of Dreams and Electricity
If you think dreams are just random brain-firing, the source suggests you might want to think again. Our current scientists are apparently a bit behind the curve.
- Dreams are "electrical realities" just as valid as a lightning bolt. The only difference is how we perceive them.
- Our technology is "letting us down" because it only looks at physical electricity, ignoring the psychic electrical manifestations.
- In the dream state, the ego—which usually acts like a strict bouncer—lets down its guard, allowing us to experience action without the usual physical limits.
- As Seth points out: "When the ego gives up its hold upon what it considers control of action, then as in dreams almost any action is possible."
Identity and the Art of Termination
To stay the same, you have to change. It sounds like a paradox, but that’s the cosmic reality Seth is laying down.
- Identity is only possible through action, yet action is constantly tampering with that identity.
- To remain an "identity," you have to constantly renew yourself. Seth calls each renewal a "termination." You are basically finishing one version of yourself to start the next one.
- Without this constant "action" and renewal, you wouldn't even know you existed.
Final Thoughts and Cosmic Homework
This session is a foundational piece of the Seth puzzle, emphasizing that we are far more involved in creating our "reality" than we realize.
