“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I did not describe the vision further at this time, although by now Jane had read my written version of it. As the board spelled out the answer, Jane began to hear it within, a bit in advance.)

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.

At later times with your present rate of development, the distortions themselves will be held to a minimum. And now Joseph you will see, I am sure, in which direction I am leading you. The more personal and the more direct the bearing of a question upon your daily life, the greater the distortion is likely to be. What more can you expect?

If you cannot prove my existence now neither can you touch music. Not that I am comparing myself with a symphony, far from it. Now and then I do

Joking aside, I will now ask you to imagine these wires as being composed of the solidified emotion of which I have just spoken. Surely you must know that even the words feeling or emotion are at best symbols to describe something else, and this something else comes extremely close to your mental enzymes.

The mental enzymes within the enclosure are the elements that set off the action and—listen closely—are also the action itself. In other words the mental enzymes not only produce action in the material world but become the action. I will always call any materialization an action from here on in, since as you both know by now nothing is stationary. If you will read over the above three or four paragraphs you will come close to seeing where mental and physical become one.

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.
