Seth - The Eternal Validity of the Soul - Chapter 3 MY WORK AND THOSE DIMENSIONS OF REALITY INTO WHICH IT TAKES ME Each personality has within it the ability not only to gain a new type of existence in the environment - in your case in physical reality - but to add creatively to the very quality of its own consciousness, and in so doing to work its way through the specialized system, breaking the barriers of reality as it knows it. Now, the purpose in all this will also be discussed later. I mention this whole subject here, however, because I want you to see your environment is not real in the terms you imagine it to be. When you are born, then, you are already conditioned to perceive reality in a particular manner, and to interpret experience in a very limited but intense range. I must explain this before I can clearly give you an idea of my environment, or of those other systems of reality in which I operate. There is no space between my environment and yours, for example, no physical boundaries separating us. In a very real way, of speaking, your concept of reality as seen through your physical senses, scientific instruments, or arrived at through deduction, bears little resemblance to the facts - and the facts are difficult to explain. Your planetary systems exist at once, simultaneously, both in time and in space. The universe you seem to perceive, either visually or through instruments, appears to be composed of galaxies, stars, and planets, at various distances from you. Basically, however, this is an illusion. Your senses and your very existence as physical creatures program you to perceive the universe in such a way. The universe as you know it is your interpretation of events as they intrude upon your three-dimensional reality. The events are mental. This does not mean you cannot travel to other planets, for example, within that physical universe, any more than it means you cannot use tables to hold books, glasses, and oranges, although the table has no solid qualities of its own.
