“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

There is what you could call a maximum point of energy focus, and after this is reached the departure of the energy begins. If it will help you, think of the energy as a wind, a cosmic wind that fills up from the inside, certain patterns. The filled-up patterns appear fairly rigid and permanent enough to be counted upon as such. Nevertheless the wind that composes them is never the same. It comes and goes, filling the patterns according to its own intensity.

We will take a good amount of time to cover this and allied subjects, as we must also deal with the pattern and its source. Since matter is constantly re-created, and instantaneous, many of your ideas of time are of course distorted, since you have taken it for granted that matter changes with, or in, time. You have judged a time interval by the seeming changes in a given material object.

I wanted to make this point, since matter is created by the subconscious, and since it exists simultaneously and instantaneously, and since its creation or arrival, and its departure or replacement, are instantaneous. Once this is understood it becomes at least theoretically possible to re-create the material of the past, in so far as the patterns for the material have been retained.

All material is energy, appearing in the physical field into patterns that have been prepared for it. The illusion of rigidity is the result of your own outer senses, a perception which is too slow to catch the constant pulsations, as bits of energy that compose material constantly disappear entirely and are replaced.
