“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

To say I am energy is no lie. It is actually truer than many designations that would sound more authentic and complicated. I am a personality in essence-energy form. This in no way implies that I am a spirit, nor does it imply that I am some weird sort of granddaddy longlegs of science fiction. What I am is difficult to explain because of the limits set not only by your own knowledge but by the present method of our communications.

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.

Your idea of a spirit, I believe, is something without form, and I can have form. I certainly have structure. It is true at this point, under ordinary circumstances—that is ordinary for you—you cannot “see”—in quotes—my structure. This does not mean that I have none.

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.

The material was received, transformed into a poem, distorted in the last two or three lines where the prerequisites of technique involved the addition of a word that added a distorted meaning. And in the first place the data came into his consciousness in a watered-down form.

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.
