Seth and Science

PBS has recently been airing a lot of shows about physics -- and more specifically, relativity, quantum mechanics and string theory.  When I watch these shows, I often feel somewhat frustrated because Jane Roberts, the psychic who channelled Seth, frequently spoke of the concepts that scientists keep "discovering".  However, many scientists are atheists, so it is probably expecting too much for them to be interested in the ramblings of a psychic.  Nonetheless, the God concept that Seth set forth was one that many scientists and atheists might find acceptable.  Furthermore, if Seth truly was a non-physical being, and if he really did have access to knowledge that is off-limits to human beings, then it behooves us to see what he had to say.  He answered all of the "big" questions that man has about his existence.

As a spirit who was channelled by a psychic, Seth wasn't able to do double-blind studies, and he also didn't use the same terminology that scientists generally use (he was limited to Jane Roberts' vocabulary), but it is clear that he was talking about the same things.  Here are some of the concepts that Seth set forth that parallel current scientific thinking:

- Seth said that time and space do not actually exist but are illusions or "root assumptions" of this universe.  This is similar to (but not the same as) Einstein's theory that time and space are relative.

- Seth said that space can grow or shrink, and that time can run faster or slower.  These ideas are also part of Einstein's theory.  However, Seth said that time and space vary according to the emotional state of the person experiencing them, which is not something that Einstein said.  (It's clear that Seth wasn't just mimicking Einstein.)

- Seth said that all things exist simultaneously, and that the past and future can be accessed for those beings who are able to do that (but not human beings).  Relativity also says that all things exist simultaneously.

- The theory of relativity suggests that time can run backwards as well as forwards.  Seth said that there are universes in which time runs backwards.

- Seth said that there are multiple universes within the greater universe, or "megaverse" (Seth didn't use the term "megaverse", but I like it).  The concept of multiple universes is part of quantum mechanics and string theory.

- Seth said that every possible or, especially, probable outcome of an event will take place in some universe or plane of existence, if not in this one.  This concept is part of quantum mechanics and string theory.

- Seth said that the universe -- indeed, everything in existence -- is composed of particles of living mental energy which form all things.  These particles are comparable to the "strings" of string theory, or to the "God particle" that scientists are looking for.

- For quite a while now, scientists have believed that the universe originated from a "big bang" which, it would seem, had its origin in some location within space.  Seth's theory is a little different.  He said that the universe is being created continually, and that it arises from a non-physical realm of thought.

- Scientists have recently theorized that our physical universe is a projection (like a hologram) from a two-dimensional plane.  They apparently arrived at this concept from mathematical calculations done on black holes.  Seth also said that the universe is a projection, but it is a spiritual projection from the realm of thought that I just mentioned (or what Seth referred to as the "mental universe").  Once the pattern of the universe is projected into space, it is then filled with the aforementioned particles of mental energy, which give it substance.
