“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I do have a structure nevertheless, and I can change or interchange the components of that structure so as to appear or operate under vastly different conditions. During these sessions I use my basic energy components in a different manner than I would under other circumstances. In other words, I change the alignment of my components, focusing my powers into one particular direction.

This would involve manipulations of muscles that would result in a temporary change of shape, a somewhat superficial but real adjustment of the physical body in its relation to space, and a consequent change of focus or direction in so far as the forward low thrust of the body into the hole. On a much different level this is what is involved as far as I am concerned in my attempts to enter your small entryway. On my part however the necessary manipulations amount to a transformation, and I have much greater freedom here. It is as if you could actually make your body smaller than the hole you wished to enter, in a much more appreciable fashion.

Your scientists know that all matter is composed of the same elements. They do not know consciously how to change a river into a forest. This manipulation, as I have explained, is undertaken unknown to the recognized conscious ego.

Through methods that I have described, I can change my form. You have seen water turn to steam. This is a very simple analogy. I exist as energy, I exist electronically and sometimes chemically. I have said that I can change the alignment of my components. If I can be considered a spirit then all energy must be a spirit.

Abroad. A few in your country are becoming aware on a very faint theoretical basis, when they consider the possibilities involved in the breaking down of physical components into basic energy forms, such theories being considered I believe along with a future space program. This idea will help you understand what I mean when I say that I have structure but can change it.

(Now, Jane’s voice, which had been stronger than normal through the whole session, began to take on added timber; that is it began to grow deeper more than it increased in volume. I felt that this trend would continue. Already her voice had changed more than it had in any session except the 14th. She gave no sign of concern or surprise.)

This is surely to be expected. Your own bodies are never, as you know, completely the same from one moment to the next. This change of molecular components on your level reoccurs constantly while the outward form retains its pattern. It is possible for me to change the form. It is no longer necessary that the same form be maintained and it is entirely impossible for the exact pattern to materialize upon your level. There can only be an approximation.

(After the session, Jane said that along with this answer she also received the thought from Seth, which she did not give voice to, that even though Miss Callahan did not pass away by April 15th the date would still be a significant one for her, a time of change; but whether for the better or worse Jane did not know.

One day he’ll find his features changed
