“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Actually, you consider action which seems to be at least partially self-directive as living matter. Action that seems to be of a static nature, you refer to as inert matter. It should go without saying that all action is indeed self-directed action to some degree, and therefore should be termed as living matter.

In this room, so to speak, there are four physical Ruburts, there are four physical Josephs, and there are four physical cats. There are indeed four rooms.

His span of attention in one respect is short. As far as his psychic energy is concerned he is very gifted. I did, indeed, stand momentarily in the doorway; though if I may say so—

The image in the doorway is indeed my own, though there is bound to be a distortion in Mark’s perception of me. It is through the inner senses that he perceives me, and this data he then attempts to transform into information that can be perceived by the outer senses.

There is a smugness about the lips—very good—that I am indeed rather pleased with. You will find that this construction is being created by myself. Just to appear on your plane, any construction, whether perceived by you or not, must be composed of atoms and molecules.

(It was while we were discussing dimensions that the second part of Seth’s demonstration took place; and again it was without suggestion upon his part, or indeed warning of any kind.

(Still not satisfied with his second sketch, Bill set to work to make a few small changes. Willy had quieted down by now. My writing hand felt no fatigue to speak of. Jane began dictating in the same strong and very deep voice. Indeed, she kept up with the voice phenomenon for the whole session, with no apparent discomfort of any kind, and no ill effects afterward. Resume at 10:08.)

Generally speaking however, no physical object can be constructed, and no action can occur, without what you are pleased to call suggestion. No action and no material object can be perceived without inner consent and willingness. Behind every action and every construction there is indeed what you are pleased to call suggestion.

The demonstration was indeed a valid one. I will not keep you longer. I did want to set the record straight, concerning the definite change in Ruburt’s features; and as you may have supposed, I was indeed listening in at your little discussion. Such tests as you have in mind during Mark’s journey should prove most advantageous, if carried through in the correct manner and under good circumstances.

I hasten to assure you that my humor is not malicious. Nevertheless it can be pointed; and entry into your new house, old landowner, should indeed be the occasion for some fun.

This is not impossible. I look forward to such a private housewarming, and I may indeed bring a gift of my own.

Indeed we are. If we were not, he wouldn’t let me open my mouth.
