“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This development is necessary upon your plane because of the training in the manipulation of energy which is required there. You merely focus your energy along these lines. This being of course the main reason why, as a rule, mankind has not used other abilities to any great degree.

New senses are developed to perceive new creations. Idea pushes itself through; nor is idea a disembodied nonentity absolute, but composed of energy to begin with.

Ideas originate always from individuals on any plane, and under any circumstance. The ideas once originated, however, are given energy reality by the individual and therefore attain a vitality of their own. The ideas are picked up by the subconscious through a telepathic communication. They do not however have to be picked up directly from one mind, that is, there does not have to be direct communication.

There are laws on your plane that govern the construction of matter, but these laws are psychic laws having to do with the ability of the individual in projection of idea into matter, the ability to receive and transmit energy, and with abilities having to do with the actual construction itself.

The prime factor of course is the individual’s ability to avail himself of energy, and then to utilize it effectively. Coordination and communication between the inner and outer ego is also a strong factor here. You must also keep in mind that the individual creates his own environment through his successive incarnations.

The dog, for reasons that I will go into later, did not have your capacity for drawing upon energy. He could not project his own construction after a certain point without help from your psychic stores. This is not unusual, and all consciousnesses exchange energy back and forth; and a great cooperation exists here, of which we have hardly spoken.

I have mentioned that each physical construction is composed of atoms and molecules, which also possess a generalized consciousness and capsule comprehension. They lack strong organizational tendencies in themselves, and it is the individual’s energy which aids in this formation.

A weak ability to draw upon energy will yield poor constructions. The pulsations inherent in the atoms and molecules of the constructions are, of course, picked up by others. The shoddy construction, never perceived at all by the outer senses, is registered by the inner senses.

It is true that generally your energy is focused into physical construction and manipulation. Not all of it is so used. However, all ideas and all energy is constructed in one way or another. Those ideas which are impractical to construct physically, either for psychological or psychic reasons, are channeled into construction on other planes or levels.
