“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A few things should be clear by now. There is an interaction that I have yet to explain to you, between time as you know it, and material. Basically material is spontaneous and instantaneous, as I told you. The change in it that you seem to perceive is illusion.

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.

Now. This physical matter on your plane we will call positive matter. To the field of negative matter, your positive matter would be termed negative. Obviously we have much material to cover, positive and negative. The point is that perception is the criteria for what you call matter. You do not perceive the negative interval. You do not perceive continuous creation of matter.
