“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Although a discussion of constructions that are not material to your way of seeing things does not belong in a study of matter, nevertheless the two are connected, and I want you to understand that matter represents only those constructions which are perceivable through the outer senses.

There are other constructions, quite as valid, which make little or no impression on the outer senses, but constructions with which the inner self is fairly familiar; and these so-called immaterial constructions exert a strong influence indirectly upon the world of physical construction.

Again, the only main difference between material and immaterial constructions is that immaterial constructions are not perceived by the outer senses. These immaterial constructions include among others dream constructions, and also certain intangible, necessary constructions upon which the material worlds rest.

All actions in one way or another continue. It is only the outer senses which cannot perceive what does not fall into their own domain. When you perceive an action with your outer senses, you call it material if it is, or if it appears to be, static.

If an action seems to be capable of motion, you say the action is alive. When your outer senses no longer perceive motion you call the action a dead one. In all cases however, action continues.

The main point, before I get sidetracked, that I was building up to, is that matter is action utilized by the inner senses and perceived by the outer senses.

It appears that you create the action. For all intents and purposes you create the action, but actually you are really utilizing action and merely constructing it into terms that the outer senses can perceive.

All of our material should be of great practical value. Remember that the subconscious is at the outer end of the inner senses, and the inner senses create physical constructions. Once you learn how to handle and communicate with your subconscious, then you will be able to create more constructive constructions—
