flying saucers飞碟

In The Early Sessions Book 1, Seth gives a unique explanation of the concept of "flying saucers" (unidentified flying objects) that overturns conventional physical understanding. He points out that the essence of the flying saucer phenomenon involves energy transformation between different dimensions (planes), the laws of camouflage, and the development of consciousness. The following are Seth's core discussions of the flying saucer concept:

1. The origin and essence of flying saucers: Seth points out that flying saucers do not come from physical outer space as we understand it, but from another "plane" far more advanced than present-day Earth in technological science, though that plane still does not belong to the "mental science plane" ^[1]. The inhabitants of flying saucers are not inhabitants of our plane ^[2]. As science develops on different planes, their inhabitants learn to travel occasionally between different planes, carrying with them the manifested characteristics of their home station ^[3].

2. The form dilemma and visual distortion: Seth believes that the strangest thing about flying saucers is not their appearance, but that we are actually able to "see" them ^[3]. When a flying saucer enters the Earth plane, a distortion occurs. The atoms and molecules in the flying saucer's structure fall into a "form dilemma" upon entering Earth: it must both completely transform into Earth's specific camouflage patterns and also retain its original patterns ^[1]. Therefore, what Earth observers see is actually a "bastard form" between the two, having almost nothing to do with its actual structure at its home base ^[4]. Observers try to relate it to their own limited known knowledge, resulting in something like seeing a creature between a horse and a dog that resembles neither ^[5]. The flying saucer tries its best to retain its original structure while having to alter part of its structure to adapt to Earth, which explains why reports about the shape, size, and color of flying saucers are so contradictory ^[4]. This form distortion produced by transformation between different planes is also similar to the distortion experienced by artistic creation (such as painting or poetry) when crossing different planes ^[6].

3. Inability to remain for long and right-angle flight: Seth explicitly states that for a considerable period of time, there will be no flying saucer landings on Earth in a truly physical sense, because they cannot remain on the Earth plane for any length of time ^[4]. Flying saucers bear tremendous squeezing forces, literally "caught between two worlds," and in order to survive must obey the laws of a specific plane, so they can only make brief glimpses of Earth ^[4]. As for the phenomenon of flying saucers sometimes shooting out at right angles, it is because they successfully retain the normal functions of their original habitat ^[4].

4. The camouflage of space travel and the illusory nature of "solidity": In Seth's view, human understanding of flying saucers is very comical, because humans think of them as vehicles traveling through "camouflage space" ^[7]. In fact, so-called space travel is itself a "camouflage" concept that has meaning only on the Earth plane; through the use of the inner senses, consciousness can reach anywhere ^[7]. Seth explains that these flying saucers are actually passing through the core of what humans call "solid Earth," and Earth is not solid to them at all ^[8]. Likewise, when humans attempt space travel, they may also pass through what appears as "solid" to inhabitants of other planes without realizing it ^[8].

5. Energy transformation and the revelation of the inner senses: Seth emphasizes that material about flying saucers helps humans understand the process by which energy is transformed and manifested from one plane to another ^[9]. The flying saucer phenomenon is closely connected with the fifth dimension, the inner senses, and the transmission of energy between different planes (for example, from the inner senses into a painting) ^[10].

In Seth Speaks, although the specific term "flying saucer" does not directly appear in the provided chapters, the text thoroughly elaborates on the multidimensional reality mechanisms, the theory of probable worlds, and the principles of perceptual translation that underlie the phenomenon of "flying saucers" or "unidentified flying objects." These discussions provide the core theoretical framework for understanding phenomena from other realities or probable Earths:

1. Multidimensional reality and clustered probable Earths: Seth points out that the physical universe and history as we know them represent only one thin line among infinite possibilities, a single light upon which consciousness focuses its attention ^[1]. Beyond physical reality, there exist countless equally valid and real evolutionary developments, existing within other probable physical reality systems ^[2]. Specifically regarding Earth, "many realities are clustered around the Earth you know" ^[2], and not only individuals but civilizations, nations, and inhabited planetary systems also possess their probable destinies, with connections existing at deep unconscious levels ^[3]. This explains the existential basis of phenomena "from probable Earths" within the multidimensional structure.

2. Hidden phenomena in space and "tuning" perception: Human concepts of space are extremely distorted; space is usually considered an empty void in which nothing can be seen, but in fact space is "filled with all kinds of phenomena" that leave no trace upon the human physical perceptual apparatus ^[4]. However, humans can occasionally, in various ways, to some degree "tune in" to these "more effective" other realities composed of stronger energy ^[4]. This intermittent tuning and multidimensional awareness enables people to contact evidence of other realities that exist beyond the world of the physical senses yet are intermingled with and surround it ^[5].

3. The peering and focusing attempts of personalities from other systems: Not only are humans exploring; other kinds of "personalities" in other systems also "glimpse" our physical reality from their unique viewpoints ^[6]. When these foreign personalities travel through their own various states, they attempt to gain some focus to perceive our environment, and strive to make this largely unfamiliar material "make some sense" to them ^[6]. This cross-reality peering and focusing constitutes the possibility of intersections and sighting phenomena between different realities.

4. Perceptual translation and the limitations of root assumptions: When a consciousness contacts a realm not belonging to its own system, it is limited by the root assumptions of its own system. Seth points out that if you delve into other realms, "you would be forced to perceive them in terms of the root assumptions of your own system," for example translating a particular feeling into a specific physical image (such as translating warmth into a house, or fear into a demon) ^[7]. Likewise, when phenomena or energies from other realities interweave into our system, or when we glimpse them, human consciousness also clings tightly to old concepts, interpreting and translating these experiences according to three-dimensional physical rules ^[8].

5. "Seemingly senseless things" are clues to larger events: In three-dimensional reality, people often accept only what can be perceived within their field of vision and assume that reality ends where it cannot be seen, thus failing to understand that certain phenomena are only "part of other events" ^[9]. Seth suggests that people should examine the spaces between objects and between events, and pay special attention to those "seemingly senseless things," because they are often clues to larger events invisible to the naked eye ^[9].

In the specific text blocks from The Nature of Personal Reality provided for this study, the specific terms "flying saucers" or "unidentified flying objects" do not directly appear, nor is a direct definition given. However, the text's discussions of "the nature of form," "the materialization mechanism of probable realities," and "the construction of reality by consciousness" provide the underlying theoretical foundation for understanding such cross-dimensional phenomena. The following is a detailed compilation and analysis of the relevant text content:

1. The nonphysical nature of form and the law of partial materialization Seth points out that a "form" is fundamentally nonphysical. The form that humans observe within their own physical reality system is only the partial portion of that form that "can effectively act or materialize within this particular system" ^[1]. This statement indicates that any object seemingly from another reality, in its physical presentation within the human three-dimensional world, is only a brief, partial slice of its larger form of existence. The form itself exists within a larger framework; it is neither lost nor absolutely restricted or predetermined by physical laws ^[1].

2. Conscious beliefs as the "filter" of probable events Seth elaborates in detail on the mechanism by which nonphysical events are transformed into physical events. He points out that the human brain is a physical copy of the mind, and through the characteristics of the brain, events of nonphysical origin are transformed into physically effective events ^[2]. In this process, the individual's "conscious beliefs" play a decisive filtering and directing role. It is through these beliefs that humans attract certain nonphysical "probable events" from other regions and bring them into three-dimensional space for realization ^[2]. Therefore, whether one can experience or perceive phenomena from other realities depends on the individual's belief system and psychological structure.

3. The responsibility of consciousness and the replication of reality Seth emphasizes that human physical reality is unconsciously and directly replicated according to one's thoughts and expectations ^[3]. Humans often reject their birthright and heritage by not taking responsibility for their own consciousness. The main function of consciousness is to evaluate this replicated reality ^[3].

In summary, although the term "flying saucer" does not directly appear in the provided text, its core arguments indicate that all physical forms are partial manifestations of nonphysical energy ^[1], and these manifestations are entirely subject to the attraction and filtering of human conscious beliefs ^[2].
