“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

By this time you should know that our material on material is excellent. I mentioned earlier that very little distortion occurs in such material. There is very much to be covered. It goes without saying then, that there is consciousness of a kind, conscious energy, behind and to some extent within all material.

As you know, so-called inert objects possess consciousness also, though in a more generalized and much less specific manner, in which to a large degree choice is denied to them. It should be apparent that psychic identity is no more dependent upon physical permanence, certainly when you consider that even a chair retains its form as a chair, even though it is actually not one thing or object, and that no atom or molecule remains the same within it.

Earlier it was merely a possibility, as for example a painting that you may paint next year is now only a possibility. I am endeavoring to end our sessions, for a while at least, at an earlier hour for several reasons, which will not concern you; and I will here end the session, I should imagine with your approval.
