“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.

(Jane dictates:) I thought you were going to ask me about her recitation of the fifth dimension, which came across unusually well and quite undistorted. You understand that generalized material on the fifth dimension and other matters in no way jeopardizes her present personality, or causes strain or panic. This is one of the reasons why this sort of data comes through so much more clearly than more personal material which her ego may find burdensome.

(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.)

(Jane dictates:) Why do you find the phrase solidified feeling outlandish? You both already understand that your plane is really composed of solidified thought. When your scientists get through with all their high fiddle-faddle they too will discover that this is the case, though woe to any one of them that dares breathe such a concept yet.

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.

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.)

(A curved line may be a complicated thought, a crooked or incomplete one—and a straight line may be a more simple, direct action or thought. It follows that there are more curved lines than straight ones, both in our art on this plane, in our lives on this plane, and in our habitat on this plane.

(Each line is one thought, one recorded or frozen bit of action; representing or capable of representing many things. But a collection of lines, with the same or similar thoughts behind them, assembles itself into a recognizable whole.
