“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In a sense any color or quality of that nature could be considered a mental enzyme. There is an exchange of sorts between the mental and the physical without which, for example, color would not exist. Now I use color as an example first because it is easier perhaps to understand how this could be a mental enzyme, than it is to understand the same thing about chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is green but more than color. (Pause.) Nevertheless there is an interaction here also which gives the chlorophyll its properties. (Pause.) This is one of the most difficult terms to explain. I hope to make it much clearer to you, but it involves part of a larger concept and as yet you do not have the necessary background.

The material in these cases apparently comes through quite distorted. Again this is beyond my control, in these cases you simply do not understand what I am trying to say. The more you push at a sore point the sorer the point becomes. My attitude in no way prevents prediction per se. At this point your attitude however does stand in the way. I hope to go into this also at a further time, because there are definite reasons for this that have nothing or little to do with you personally, but represent a more or less natural distortion of data along these lines. (Pause.)

(Jane dictates:) Chlorophyll as I said is a mental enzyme, and is one of the moving forces in your plane. However, a variant of this exists in all other planes. It is a mental spark so to speak that sets everything into motion. (Pause.)

This has also much to do believe it or not with feeling, which also is a mover. You must try not to categorize things in old ways, but when you open your mind you will see a similarity between chlorophyll as a mental enzyme or mover, and emotion which is never still. Emotion solidified is something else again and perhaps is a framework of other worlds. (Pause.) And really Jane, you’re giving your subconscious an awful lot of credit. Let’s see credit where credit is due.

Actually a counteraction within a mental enclosure (pause) occurs in some manner. A mental enclosure divides itself in two, splits up, divides, multiplies, acts upon its own various parts, and this produces a material manifestation. The material is material, and yet it is mentally produced.

Let the definition go for a moment however while I make this one point. I have said that our imaginary wires that seem to permeate our model universe are alive, and now if you will bear with me I will say that they are mental enzymes or solidified feelings, always of course in motion and yet permanent enough to form a more or less consistent framework. (Pause.) You could almost say that mental enzymes become the tentacles which form material, though I do not find that a very pleasant phrase.

You on your plane for example do not even have conscious memory of your own dream fragments. For that matter you can hardly remember one idea from one week to another on a conscious deliberate basis. It is simply impossible for the ego as you know it to maintain conscious dominance at this time. (Pause.)
