“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I mentioned earlier that these sessions involved a lifetime’s work, as long of course as you are both willing. The times of sessions may change, adjustments being made for various reasons. You will also receive help sometimes where you least expect it. The work will be published, and Ruburt will also use it as a basis for his own writings.

I prefer that he keep highly informed. His own interests propel him in this direction, and because of the way in which we are working together, it is advantageous for him to become acquainted with as much knowledge in a number of fields as he is capable of assimilating. If we were using the very deep trance state then indeed this would not be necessary, but for your own benefits I prefer as much cooperation on your parts as possible, and like to work with an assimilation of knowledge by the whole self.

This process is carried out unconsciously, and yet if mankind follows through then he will become consciously aware of his own part in this continual creation of matter, and he will be able to continue in a much more intelligent manner.

Matter is continually created, but no particular physical object is in itself continuous. Change in a particular physical object is not change as you conceive it. There is not, for example, one particular physical object that deteriorates with age. There are instead continuous, for now I will say continuous creations, of psychic energy into a physical pattern that appears to hold a more or less rigid appearance. This appearance appears, that is, this physical object appears to change and to age, but the material does neither. It does not exist long enough to do either, for one thing. There is an infinite number or series of creations of matter. The ability of the individual creator of any particular physical form to use psychic energy to control and manipulate causes the outer appearance of deterioration and aging of matter.

Matter itself does not age or deteriorate. This may throw you, but I will prove my case. I will also prove it even in so far as the so-called aging of rock formations and other archeological events are concerned. Matter is created directly from energy on a subconscious level.

The matter is spontaneously and instantaneously created. As you know, or should know, this applies to the human physical form as well as to all other material. You are seeing in slow motion when you think you see growth and decay as being properties of matter.

The existence of the patterns gives the illusion of a permanence of matter that is highly misleading. There is so much to be said here, as it is also necessary to consider the ways in which physical material is constantly created, and to consider the role of the senses.

Intellectually for example, he will not be tempted to block me. The seed is not the flower, and the flower is not the fruit. The fruit is not the result of changes in the seed. In each case there are patterns to be filled. The pattern contains the material—change that to data—for the physical material to follow. When you consider this information in connection with an inner psychic reality, then you will see its supreme logic.

It constantly comes more and more into the field, focusing more of itself within it. You have a psychic arrival and departure. As the energy approaches it creates matter, first of all in a rather inadequate, almost plastic fashion. It continually recreates matter as it comes fully within what you call the physical plane, then energy’s construction into matter simply becomes more proficient and focused. But the fetus then is simply not the infant, and the infant is not the adult.
