The Universe is Not Expanding
Abstract
The Universe is not expanding – this will seem like a blasphemy to scientists that have spent a lifetime learning physics or astrophysics, because it is a basic part of the college curriculum. However, as Seth has stated many times - in this case,...”your physical senses are lovely liars.” The perception that the universe is expanding is primarily based on the red shift. Recent experiments have even determined that the expansion is accelerating, due to the amount of red shift seen in distant stars. Unfortunately, it is an illusion. Even a child would ask - “Expanding into what?” Physicists don't like such questions, because it makes them appear, less than intelligent. Our universe is not akin to a large balloon, continuously expanding its boundaries. Although, Seth is quick to point out, that the universe is certainly expanding in a way that an idea expands, yet takes up no additional space. We perceive a larger moon when it appears on the horizon, but we know it is not actually larger. It certainly seems to be. We do not assume that Mercury has changed directions, when it moves retrograde. It is an illusion. The illusion will become more apparent when scientists realize that our universe literally blinks, off and on, 1.1 trillion times each second, in our terms, and is constantly created anew. Our universe is different each second, not because its size has changed, but because it is composed of entirely new particles that were not there the previous second. “The universe is continually being created. All universes are continually being created, and the appearance of expansion seen by your scientists is distortive for many reasons.” Some relevant quotes are provided from The Early Sessions; Session 42, dictated in 1964. This short ebook provides some important ideas from Seth that may fundamentally change your thinking. As always, his words are elegant and simple. The actual size of our universe is approximately 0.272 mm. This is the maximum distance between any two particles, while the universe is blinking, off and on.

Seth would often emphasize that we do not perceive reality as it actually exists. Then let's consider some of Seth's comments about the so-called, expanding universe:
“Anything that you can see and feel and touch exists within your own reality, yes, and within it, it is legitimate and valid. It is also highly distorted, for your physical senses are lovely liars that betray you constantly. They form reality for you, and yet the reality that they form is highly distorted; and what you see, dear friends, does not exist and you do not see what does exist.”
The Early Sessions, Part One of Seth's Lecture to a High School Class; March 25, 1967
“The universe was not created at any particular time, but neither is it expanding into nowhere like an inflated balloon that grows forever larger, at least not along the lines now being considered. The expansion is an illusion, based among other things, upon inadequate time measurements, upon the limited cause and effect theories; and yet in some manners the universe could be said to be expanding, but with entirely different connotations than are usually used. Therefore the expanding universe implies a universe expanding in a more or less empty space, and this is not true. The phenomena that are given as evidence of this kind of expanding universe are the result of camouflage instruments, distortive ideas of time, and the resulting cause and effect theory.”
The Early Sessions, Session 42; April 8, 1964
“The appearance of an expanding universe is also caused therefore by this distortive boundary effect, resulting from the interaction of which I have just spoken. In some cases the distortive effect could be likened to the reflection of a solid tree in water. The outer senses observing the reflection might try to judge the depth of the water by the height of the tree, supposing it to be as deep as the tree is high.”
The Early Sessions, Session 42; April 8, 1964
“The universe is expanding in the way that a dream expands. In other words this expansion has nothing to do with your idea of space. The expansion, in a most basic manner, is more like the expansion of an idea. It has nothing to do with space or time in the manner in which you are accustomed to think of them.”
The Early Sessions, Session 42; April 8, 1964
“Your own dream world expands constantly. Your ideas expand constantly, but your ideas have nothing to do with space, and the manner in which the universe constantly expands has nothing to do with your idea of space. True space, fifth dimensional space, has abilities of expansion that do not need space, not in your terms.”
The Early Sessions, Session 42; April 8, 1964
“The universe expands in the manner that a dream expands, taking up no camouflage space. This does not mean that there is no growth involved in the expansion of the universe. This does not imply that there is no movement. It simply implies an existence and an expansion of a qualitative manner, beyond your present measurements or complete comprehension.”
The Early Sessions, Session 43; April 13, 1964
“Your idea of space is some completely erroneous conception of an emptiness to be filled. Things, planets, stars, nebulae, come into being in this universe of yours. They are born continually according to your latest theories, and this universe expands – pushed, so to speak, so that its sides bulge, the outer galaxies literally bursting out into nowhere. True fifth-dimensional space, as I have said often, is to the contrary vital energy, itself alive, possessing endless abilities of transformation, forming all existences, forming even the camouflage universe with which you are familiar, and which you attempt to probe so ineffectively. This fifth dimensional space, this basic universe of reality of which I speak, expands constantly in terms of intensity and quality and value, in a way that has nothing to do with your idea of space. The basic inner universe beneath all camouflage does not have an existence in space at all, as you envision it. Space as you envision it, that is as an emptiness to be filled, is a camouflage.”
The Early Sessions, Session 43; April 13, 1964
“Space travel, in your terms, will develop in a seemingly extravagant and startling fashion, only to be dumped as such when your scientists discover that space as you know it is a distortion, and that journeying from one so-called galaxy to another is done by divesting the physical body from camouflage. The vehicle of so-called space travel is mental and psychic mobility, in terms of psychic transformation of energy, enabling spontaneous and instantaneous mobility through the spacious present. As to the means, the very simplest and crudest but still to be adopted method will prove to be hypnotism, simply because at this point your personalities will not trust their own abilities but must rely upon suggestion from the outside.”
The Early Sessions, Session 45; April 20, 1964
“I have also said that space travel, so-called, will of necessity deviate from its present concern with vehicles. It will be discovered that the inner senses represent your only long-lasting method of such travel. When it is understood that space and time are both camouflages, and that your cause and effect theory is a result of a continuity theory that no longer makes sense, then your scientists will recognize the impossibility of trying to decipher basic reality with camouflage instruments, and vehicles, that of themselves produce distortive theories, and only serve to probe further into a camouflage pattern. The experiments will be many. Hypnotism, as I have mentioned, will be a basic tool in the beginning. Hypnotism, you see, is not a camouflage tool, but a psychological tool which is therefore uncamouflaged, and relatively undistorted. Hypnotism will be necessary, however, only for a time, and only to induce the light trance state. In the light trance state, the inner self is free from the camouflage nature of your plane, and the truly humorous aspect is this: Only by freeing yourself from your own camouflage universe can you see it clearly, understand it for what it is, and actually learn to use it for mankind’s best advantage.”
The Early Sessions, Session 49; April 29, 1964
“First of all, any effective large-scale space travel will be mental travel. I use the term space travel loosely. In some conditions such expeditions will be powered by pooled mental or psychic resources. You may journey within your own solar system using physical vehicles, but you will not make any effective breakthrough beyond your solar system unless psychic and mental resources are developed. Of course mental or psychic journeys into other dimensions and systems are possible, and when I speak of dimensions here I am not referring to space systems. Mentally you can cut through space, physically you cannot. In some of your dream states you do travel through other dimensions and other systems. The extent of these dream travels is determined by your own ability.”
The Early Sessions, Session 260; May 18, 1966
“The closest equivalent to your own kind of intelligence and being can actually be found not by following the outer skin of space, but by going through it, so to speak... There are, again, inner coordinates having to do with the inner behavior of electrons. If you understood these, then such travel could be relatively instantaneous. The coordinates that link you with others who are more or less of your kind have to do with psychic and psychological intersections that result in a like space-time framework.”
The Unknown Reality, Volume I, Session 712; October 16, 1974
“In the same way you can be allied and in tune with other probabilities that do not coincide with your space-time axis. The exterior universe with its galaxies—as you understand it, and on that level of activity—can be encountered on certain rigid space-time coordinates. You can visit other planets only in your present. Your present may be the past or the future as far as inhabitants of a given planet are concerned. Your physical senses will only operate in their and your present. “Effective” space travel, creative space travel on your part, will not occur until you learn that your space-time system is one focus. Otherwise you will seem to visit one dead world after another, blind to civilizations that may exist on any of them. Some of these difficulties could be transcended if you learned to understand the miraculous multidimensionality of even your own physical structure, and allowed your consciousness some of its greater freedom.”

So we have provided some important and relevant quotes from Seth to explain how we perceive a universe that appears to be expanding, yet it is not.
Readers are encouraged to research these ideas, read some of the Seth books and form their own opinions. I particularly recommend “Seth Speaks” and “The Nature of Personal Reality,” for anyone that has not read Seth before.
