“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am going to give you some more material concerning our discussion of matter, but first I would like to make one comment.

(From my seat at the living room table next to the windows, I happened to look out in time to see the Pipers turn the corner and move down the street toward our house. I pointed toward the window, and Jane caught my meaning.)

We will again use this chair, this time to explain our point. The chair is being constantly constructed. Now the chair represents a subdivision in matter, being what you term dead matter, though we know that consciousness is everywhere.

Before we have our first break, I will now welcome our guests, although I regret that so much of the material will not be clear, since so much of it rests upon previous discussions with which they are not familiar.

(Break at 9:23. Jane was dissociated as usual. Seth has yet to explain what he means by “preparing” our new house for us. During break we tried to give the Pipers a brief resume of what the Seth material involves. Jane resumed in the same vigorous and strong-voiced manner at 9:32.)

You can come close to understanding this reality if you will once more consider an analogy that we made much earlier. Do you remember our imaginary painting that hung upon the wall?

(See the 43rd session, page 4. Jane now pointed to a painting I had finished a couple of years ago; it hung over our divan, above the couch. I had used Jane as a model, and in the painting she stood by a river, beneath trees; across the river could be glimpsed a village.)

We will take that painting for an example. In our analogy, the painting while framed within a given space, expanded. It did not spill out into the room and yet the trees can be imagined to grow taller, the background to add in distance and perspective, the water to flow; and yet there would be no impression made on the back of the painting.
