“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

For the time being the word will serve, since I know what you mean by it. Of course, it was a valid construction. There is much to be said here. I told you I would use Mark for a demonstration concerning the nature of matter, and so I did.

It was composed of actual matter. As you should know, like all other atoms and molecules, its atoms and molecules had capsule comprehension, generalized consciousness. They formed themselves at Mark’s instigation into a gestalt of physical construction; but the gestalt could not operate consistently or endure for any amount of physical time, in your field, because of the absence here of the greater data which is the property of the whole self, in its construction of a completed human form. This will take some reading over. Certain conditions, which we will discuss at length later, are necessary for a completely valid or effective materialization into human form.

I have told you they were fragments, and if you will reread the material in the light of the newer material on matter, then the whole incident will become more plain to you. I also will tie these discussions in with their strong connection with expectation, as the involvement here is extremely practical in everyday terms; and though it may seem at first to be Pollyanna, it certainly is not, and in many cases much training is necessary before proper attitudes can be achieved. In all cases without exception, fear leads to defective constructions, and the cycle is vicious.

There is much more I will say here in another session on personal matters. In any case you are learning to erect your own protection. You have both become much more effective along that line.

Gradual cumulative improvement, for reasons that may seem highly inadequate to you. The temperature of the water is an element here, and it is very cool.

(It might be added here that although question and answer passages are entertaining, they are difficult for me to conduct. I do not miss any of the material, yet am forced to go at top speed in order to get it all. I usually note a few words giving the meaning of the question itself, then concentrate on taking down the answer verbatim. Short answers from Seth interrupt the rhythmic flow of the material, as far as recording it goes. I have also found that generally much less material is gathered, and it is less detailed. Usually though, I can see that such passages are most amusing to Seth/Jane.
