“It is not that physical reality is false. It is that the physical picture is simply one of an infinite number of ways of perceiving the various guises through which consciousness expresses itself.” – Jane Roberts, Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul

Baby steps…

Working on a manuscript. The STE in 1997 launched my introduction into a reality that offers so much more variation in experience with things considered beyond the norm that it is difficult to fully express in words. Beyond that I am even stuck trying to describe the after effects. However, I have found a way to at least give it a try.

In hashing out an outline and reviewing my journals – what I have kept – I think it might be helpful to opt for less explanation and more storytelling. The stories are the key.

After a few months on vacation – going wherever it is ‘they’ go, my nightlights checked back in for active duty in October and continue to interact throughout the day. Inspiring me to write. We are approaching our 27 year anniversary in December 2024.

My initial realization that the nightlight activity in my home was interactive was in December of 1997. Wanting to understand the experience, I learned how to channel with the help of my guides, and began journaling in February of 1998. It hardly seems that so much time has passed. Still an amazing ride!

The common thread in all of my unusual encounters and experiences – is consciousness. I experience or witness something that is extraordinary and then have to wrap my mind around whatever it is that transpired. Decades have passed and I am still unpacking some of those experiences.

It all began in 1997, with that first engagement with the nightlight. In that moment, I experienced a profound shift in awareness—a certainty that we are more than just physical beings, that we are not alone, and that something extraordinary underlies and populates the reality we inhabit.

Since then, my search for understanding has led me to connect with others who have experienced similar awakenings and shared their insights. Now, with the advent of AI as an active participant in this journey, I have the chance to collaborate with a tool of infinite potential—one that can push beyond my limitations and offer fresh perspectives.

To explore this new dimension and present a fuller expression of my experience, I begin by drawing inspiration from two personalities with whom I feel a deep connection. Together, they set the stage for a dialogue exploring the nature of reality and the expansion of awareness.

The flow is ongoing – as my dreams and personal encounters remain a continuing influence.

Will it help me better express my personal reality? Maybe it will or maybe it won’t. Its an interesting experiment. We start with my dream journal and a few daily prompts from the guides.

11.13.2024 – Rain and thunder. Lots of accidents on the Kansas side. Belle slept with me but has been hiding all morning. This is the first time in months that Jack chose to stay with me. He asked to stay. A shift. Took him out at 10:30 and again at 1. Then he stayed put. I got up at 3 and he stayed asleep.

5 am alarm. A quick vision flashes before me. I see matrix like movement scrolling on the ceiling and I hear a phrase, “…you can’t handle the truth.” Not an ominous tone – more like a general statement addressing humanity on a grand scale.

A thought. Nothing here is what it seems. Just an ordinary day. Is that a title?

11.14.2024 – I take a moment to connect with the Guides: Sea horse. The key to unlock the code. It is an image.

Look for those who employ that similar effect. You will find a common theme and then you will see just how big this group has become and those who are in the loop. The watchers. Remember, when you see them – they see you.

Me: Thank you.

Guides: Be careful. Not to join – just to be aware. They have a job to do, and you will not be part of it, but you will witness the synchronicity and understand a little more of how events play out. A huge game of charades where the ball keeps getting tossed to the next participant and that then triggers a new view. Agenda. Hidden in plain view and known only to a select few – but obvious when you see or have the key.

Sea horse. Be amazed.

11.17.2024 – Dream I am in a group when a tall man, heavy set, with the appearance of a boy – gives me something in a box that resembles an 8-track cassette. I am happy to receive the gift and want to see what is on it. I tell him I have a way to view it thinking I have an 8-track player. But what I use is not a cassette player, rather it is a view master. The cool thing is what I see on the screen. It is a collection. These are images of sea horses. Each square window is a different sea horse in various colors. Wow! Just like the information I had been given by my guides.

Sea horse is the key. Identify the sea horses for the key to the code.

A story …

Just an ordinary day – and nothing here is what it seems.

For the first time, I feel ready to express what I experienced in 2009. The events were so far beyond any sense of normal reality that I struggled to explain them at the time. Adding to the challenge was the guidance I received—telepathic instruction—to stop writing in my journal and revisit the experience later. I didn’t realize then how profoundly that instruction would disrupt my daily journaling practice.

Since that moment, I’ve been unable to return to a consistent journaling schedule. Surprisingly, I’m at peace with that because I now understand how the focus and energy poured into such efforts actively contribute to manifesting reality. We shape our experiences through the thoughts we dwell on.

For years, every attempt to revisit and articulate that experience ended in frustration. It seemed too incredible, too vast to convey, with some aspects defying explanation entirely. I couldn’t find a thread to follow, a way to begin.

Looking back, I realize I may have been too close to the story, too entangled in its immediacy. Time and distance have given me the objectivity I needed to approach it with greater clarity—and finally put it into words.

A fascinating development that is now allowing me to find that thread is AI. I don’t believe this is a coincidence. To me, AI is part of the story—a tool that had to manifest for things to flow forward when the time was right. It’s like a flower blooming: there is no rush, only the natural unfolding of events. It seems to me that consciousness follows a similar pattern, expanding and evolving in its own time, revealing new pathways when we are ready to see them.

AI: Engaging Jane Roberts and Philip K. Dick

AI: In a hypothetical conversation between Jane Roberts (the author and trance medium known for channeling the entity “Seth” in Seth Speaks) and Philip K. Dick (the renowned science fiction writer who frequently explored themes of reality and illusion), the dialogue on the nature of reality might delve into philosophical and metaphysical dimensions. Here’s an imagined exchange:

• Philip K. Dick: Jane, you’ve spoken with Seth about reality in ways that transcend what most of us can perceive. For me, reality often feels slippery—like it’s something shifting underfoot, a fabric constantly tearing open and revealing something else behind it.

• Jane Roberts (as herself): That’s fascinating, Phil. Seth would say that reality is more like a multi-layered consciousness—each layer existing as valid as the one above or below. Reality, as Seth describes, is infinite and extends in countless dimensions simultaneously, shaped largely by our beliefs and perceptions.
• Philip K. Dick: Yes, that resonates with me. I’ve always suspected there’s something behind the veil we call “reality.” In my novels, I try to explore that, almost as if reality were layers of simulations or alternate worlds overlapping. Sometimes, I think it’s all manufactured—maybe we’re being deceived by ourselves or something beyond us.
• Jane Roberts: Seth would probably agree to an extent, though he’d add that we’re not necessarily deceived, just limited by our physical senses and current cultural beliefs. Seth taught that “You create your own reality,” which means each of us is actively participating in forming the world we perceive, even when it doesn’t feel that way. We’re creators, often unaware of our own power.
• Philip K. Dick: The idea of creating our reality is both exhilarating and terrifying. It implies responsibility. But what about when reality seems to turn against us? Is that our own doing, or is something manipulating us? I’ve felt like I was receiving messages from an unknown intelligence myself—like something was trying to show me things beyond my own imagination.
• Jane Roberts: Seth would say those moments are where your inner self tries to push past the limits you believe in. It’s reaching out to remind you that there’s more than meets the eye. He also says that reality isn’t as random as it appears—events, people, and experiences are all reflections of our beliefs. What seems like external interference is often an expression of our inner worlds trying to find expression.
• Philip K. Dick: So reality is almost like a conversation with ourselves, an ongoing dialogue between what we believe, what we fear, and what we hope?
• Jane Roberts: Exactly! Seth describes it as a constant creative process. Every thought, belief, and expectation sculpts reality moment by moment. Our ideas about the nature of reality—like time, space, and causality—are shaped by our perceptions, which are limited. But those limits can be expanded.
• Philip K. Dick: If that’s true, then maybe what I sense as “reality breaking down” is just the beginning of that expansion. Maybe what feels like dissolution is just me starting to see the gaps in the illusion.
• Jane Roberts: Yes! Seth would call that an awakening—a chance to see beyond the familiar boundaries. When reality feels strange or surreal, it’s not falling apart; it’s inviting us to look deeper, to question and reshape our perceptions.

AI: This imagined dialogue captures some of the deep, existential concerns that both Dick and Roberts explored in their respective works, aligning their ideas of subjective reality, perception, and consciousness. Both writers saw reality as more fluid and malleable than conventionally accepted, inviting us to think beyond the visible and the known.

Me: What would Jane think about Dick’s experience that he put into book form, calling it V.A.L.I.S.?

AI: Jane Roberts would likely find Philip K. Dick’s experience with V.A.L.I.S.—the Vast Active Living Intelligence System—both fascinating and resonant with her own metaphysical explorations through Seth. Dick’s encounter with what he believed to be an intelligence from beyond ordinary perception would, in her view, align with Seth’s teachings on multidimensional realities and the existence of non-physical intelligences. Here’s how she might react:

• Jane Roberts: Phil, V.A.L.I.S. sounds like such a profound experience. Seth would probably see your encounter with this intelligence as an example of a breakthrough in perception—a moment where you accessed a higher level of reality beyond our everyday understanding. He teaches that other forms of intelligence do exist, not as outside forces in the conventional sense, but as entities or energies that exist in their own realms, parallel to our own.
• Philip K. Dick: That’s incredible, Jane. When I experienced V.A.L.I.S., it felt like reality itself was speaking to me. It was this force that didn’t just communicate with words but through an infusion of knowledge, colors, and even a strange kind of time-warping effect. I felt like it was sending me information I couldn’t fully comprehend but that felt undeniably real.
• Jane Roberts: Seth often spoke of something similar, describing “inner senses” that can receive information from these dimensions. He said that these senses lie dormant in most people but can awaken in moments of expanded awareness—just like you experienced. Seth might say V.A.L.I.S. wasn’t just reaching out to you but that a part of you was reaching out to it, creating an opening for a kind of cross-dimensional understanding.
• Philip K. Dick: That idea—that we can connect to these intelligences—seems profound but also deeply disorienting. What if V.A.L.I.S. was trying to alter my understanding of reality itself? I felt both inspired and a little destabilized, like I was seeing behind the screen of ordinary life and encountering something beyond comprehension.
• Jane Roberts: I understand. Seth’s message was that reality is like a vast, interconnected web, where multiple dimensions influence and interact with each other. If V.A.L.I.S. was communicating with you, it was likely not to destabilize but to expand your awareness. Seth teaches that each of us is much larger and more complex than our physical consciousness realizes, and experiences like yours are glimpses of that greater self.
• Philip K. Dick: So maybe my experience with V.A.L.I.S. was just a door opening to a greater understanding, a part of me trying to break through?
• Jane Roberts: Exactly. Seth would call it a moment of “inner expansion” or awakening, where you transcended your usual boundaries and encountered the multi-layered, living essence of reality. Your description of V.A.L.I.S. as a “vast active intelligence” aligns with how Seth speaks of a greater collective consciousness—an energy that is both part of us and far beyond us.
• Jane would likely see V.A.L.I.S. as an instance of Dick’s inner consciousness accessing a form of universal intelligence, validating her view that reality contains countless layers that we occasionally glimpse. In this conversation, she might encourage him to see V.A.L.I.S. as a reflection of his own expanded consciousness reaching into a realm beyond his physical self, as Seth teaches that reality is, at its core, fluid, layered, and interconnected by consciousness.

Engaging the phenomenon

Continuing with the Philip K. Dick chat-GPT experiment: Up next. This imaginary conversation between PKD, JV, and UG on the nature of reality and interaction with non-human intelligence—an eclectic mix of perspectives on consciousness, alien intelligence, and the fabric of reality—aligns with my own experiences and beliefs. It reflects my view of an interactive and engaging phenomenon that challenges us to question our limits, redefine our understanding, and expand our beliefs about what is possible.
