“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.

The apparition, therefore, was constructed by Mark. You did not see it, Ruburt did not see it, because an individual only sees his own constructions; and in this case the idea data was only given to Mark.

In this case such clues were not given you. Therefore the construction was only seen by the one person to whom the inner clues were given. The construction was then formed, more or less in faithful replica to the inner data received by Mark.

Mark among other things was given, and received, the impression of an intelligence superior to any you usually experience within your field. In his construction of the apparition therefore, he translated this conception into the large frontal lobes and cranium.

The construction of the apparition was formed, therefore, by atoms and molecules. The idea behind it came from me, and was received by Mark; and then Mark constructed the apparition, which did in fact physically exist.

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.
