“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I do not intend to give you any personal reincarnational information this evening, as we did run into some distortions the other evening, as you probably know by now. Nevertheless, I will clear them up later. And without a few distortions you would not have received this material to begin with. Nor, really, is Ruburt to be blamed for the distortions, since the method with which we are involved is somewhat subject to distortions of personal material.

The distortions can be cleared, however. The general material is very seldom blocked or distorted. I feel perhaps that I should apologize to Ruburt for pushing more through than he was willing to receive, and with this for now I will let the matter rest.

(By now Jane’s delivery was even slower. Her apparent search for each word, just the right word, continued. She spoke with much emphasis; so much so that I thought her voice already was showing signs of strain.)

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.

(Break at 10:35. Jane was again fully dissociated. By now she was very tired, the session was really taking it out of her. At the same time she thought the material very good.

(Now Jane stood up; she began to pace and dictate as usual, and in doing so she appeared to be refreshed.)

I am very pleased with the manner in which this material has come through. Ruburt is now more refreshed, and when a certain session begins to deplete him I will help him out.

I will not get into Ruburt’s immediate past life, since he would slam the door in my face right now. Ruburt is now safely past his upset. You will both be on the upgrade, though you have been now for quite a while, Joseph; and you will, I imagine, discover a resulting dimension in your experiences with psychological time.

(However, I then succeeded in doing something I had wanted to do for a long time. I remembered to ask his name, and as I did so I discovered it was no effort at all. The man replied, without turning around, that it was Daniel Murphy. I then asked his age; he said 42. I then told him my name, and he repeated it. After this I believe I asked him to contact me, but this becomes fuzzy and vague. There was more but it was indistinct and is totally forgotten now. But this is the first instance I was able to follow Seth’s advice and attempt to impress my presence upon others when I had the chance.
