“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

There is therefore a strong thread of continuity-purpose in all his constructions. An individual’s physical constructions therefore are projected by him onto and into material, in answer to inner psychological purpose.

Put on a grander scale, he certainly does mold history, in terms of continuity on your plane. It is important that you consider the nature and construction of matter in terms of this inner, individual psychological purpose, for this is after all the heart of the matter.

There can be no division here, even in our discussion, for simplicity’s sake; for such division would lead you far astray. You can see this more easily perhaps in terms of, say, gallstones or kidney stones, which are adverse constructions, projected by the individual because of psychological imbalance; that is, a confusion of inner purpose.

The healthy physical body, therefore, is eloquent testimony of inner balance. And in all cases of illness, the inner cause must be uncovered; not only uncovered intellectually, but understood intuitively if recovery is to take place.

Through his inner senses however, he sensed your energetic support. We will go into the psychic cooperation and the overlapping which exists between all consciousnesses, to maintain the appearance and construction of matter.

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.

These constructions exist definitely in terms of atomic structure, but of such different densities and speeds that you are unaware of them though they are perceived by the inner senses, and utilized by the subconscious and inner self as a very important reality.

In the far future instruments may detect them completely. In the near future glimpses will be perceived with the use of instruments, but use and recognition of the inner senses will result in a quicker recognition.

This merely means that the characteristics of their reality differs from the reality of physical construction. There is always an inner comprehension of such constructions, but the conscious mind has its purpose of dealing with the world of physical construction, is itself a physical construction, and unaware of other realities.

We should most probably here substitute brain for mind, since I believe that is the terminology upon which I decided to settle. Using again the arbitrary divisions, brain for the physical construction, and mind as the intangible, then to set the record straight brain would not sense the inner planes, while mind would deal with them.
