“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

We will probably not have a full session this evening, since really I treated Ruburt so poorly during our last two sessions. I had indeed intended initially to have a short session last time, but because the material — please appreciate my pun—on material was coming through so well, I continued.

What you have instead is constant, new creation of material, as energy fills the patterns. The sharpness or rigidity or quality of the perceived material depends on the energy which forms it, and the characteristics of matter therefore depend upon the position of the energy that fills the pattern; but by position, I think in terms of the arrival and departure of this energy as it passes through your field.

This refers me back to your false cause and effect theory. For practical purposes so far this theory has not been too binding, but it is becoming so. Time does not cause change in matter, appearances to the contrary. I am going to skip a giant step, and say that man himself and all conscious beings produce matter subconsciously.

Therefore, there is what I will call the negative interval, when one pulsation has vanished from your plane and another is about to take its place. Alone, each negative interval may be negligible, but taken en masse this adds up until there is as much negative matter as there is positive matter.

(Break at 9:50. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said she could feel Seth pushing concepts at her; it was as though she could assimilate a pint, she said, but Seth wanted her to take a quart. Nevertheless she felt he was taking it easy on her tonight. When she began dictating again her pace was normal. Resume at 10:00.)

(Sunday 6/14, 11:30 PM: Jane and I had relaxed by spending the day in the country, principally at the farm of our landlord. That night in bed, without trying for the desired state, I saw within many brief woodland scenes; they flashed before me as though projected. Each scene was seen as though through a milky screen, but was in color and easily distinct enough to be made out. Each was different, none of them involved people or sound, and none of them reminded me of places we had seen or visited through the day.
