Sue Watkins and Seth on "UFO's"

 Sue Watkins and Seth on "UFO's"; Part 2 of 2.

++++++++++

"Seth had commented on UFOs once before in class, in 1971, during a discussion on the pulsing nature of atoms and its relationship to flying saucer reports and out-of-body experiences:

"In some respects, this is what happens in some of your flying saucer incidents, for you to not have a vehicle such as the one you think you perceive. I am speaking of only certain cases, where you have visitors from other realities.

"What happens is that you have an attempt to exchange camouflage realities," Seth continued. "The beings entering your plane cannot appear within it as themselves. Since they're atomic structure is not the same as yours, distortions must occur in order to make any contact possible. Thus you are greeted with a certain set of sense data. You then try to figure out what is happening -- but the sense data, you see, means that the event is already distorted to some degree. The physical vehicles that are often perceived are your interpretation of the event that is actually occurring.

""Our friend back here," Seth added humorously, indicating Ned, "could well appear, you see, as a UFO in another aspect of reality, and frighten the inhabitants. You forgot that consciousness is the only true vehicle. No part of your consciousness is imprisoned within you. It materializes in one aspect or another. I use the word 'materializes' because it makes sense to you, but it is distortive since it predisposes an appearance within matter. Yet all realities, as you know, are not physical.

"It is theoretically possible, for example, for any of you to disperse your consciousness and become a part of any object in [this] room -- or fly apart, to disperse yourself out into space -- without leaving your sense of identity. This is not practical in your terms, yet many of you do it to gain refreshment while you are sleeping. Consciousness by it's very characteristics carries the burden of perception. This is the kind of consciousness you are used to thinking of. You cannot imagine it without perception in your terms; and yet consciousness can be vital and alive without your idea of perception. The last part of that sentence is important."5

"NOTES FOR CHAPTER SIX"

"5. Seth also comments on UFO's in The "Unknown" Reality, Vol. 2, Session 713 and 743; also in Appendix 20 for Session 713. Among other remarks on the subject, Seth says, on p. 385 of Session 713, that "Some reported instances of UFO's happened in the past as far as the visitors were concerned, but appeared as images or realities in your present. This involves craft sightings only." But by far the most provocative statement on these matters, on pg. 654 of Session 743, is this: "You cannot understand perceived events unless you understand who perceives them." This last remark of Seth's can certainly apply to this entire chapter on "ESP revisited."
