“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane had nothing to report from her experiments with psychological time. On Tuesday, 7/28, I missed trying; on Wed., 7/29, 8:15 PM, I had a mild sensation in both my hands and feet, and a slight feeling of both categories being on a somewhat higher level than the rest of my body.

I would like to suggest that he begin reading again the body of the sessions. Not necessarily the Frank Watts material, but the later ones. There is much more of course to be said concerning matter, and allied subjects.

These psychological forms or structures have a reality and validity, composed of gestalts that exist in perspectives that you do not recognize.

These psychological structures exist as prerequisites for the material structure of your universe. The inner senses represent such psychological structures. They become physically apparent to some degree in the emotions, which do have definite form, certain mass, depth, and solidity in the realm of psychological perspective which you do not physically perceive.

In their own way they have what amounts to shape, color and structure. These prerequisite psychological forms exist before the construction of matter and physical form by an individual. He grapples with, and manipulates and juggles these inner psychological shapes before constructing them, his version of them, into physical form.

Some of the basic shapes in your physical universe are, therefore, reflections of these inner psychological structures, more or less reproduced in matter. These are in one sense certainly tangible to the inner self. It is these inner psychological structure patterns to a large degree that determine the shape and form of physical structures.

I have been meaning to get into these subjects. We will only cover them rather superficially, I’m afraid, now; and go into them more deeply in connection with other topics. Nevertheless these psychological structures, again, are forms adopted by consciousness in a perspective not physically perceived.

The individual attempts to project these psychological structures into physical reality, where they will then be known, realized, manipulated, and to some extent mastered as matter.

To some extent then, physical structures are symbols of psychological structures; and psychological structures are adopted by consciousness and will be projected in many fields, differing in appearance and outward structure, but always following faithfully the inner psychological structure.

Therefore you have a certain similarity in the forms in which matter appears. Matter could therefore, even in your field, appear in many forms which are presently unknown to you. The psychological structure existing in a perspective which you cannot physically perceive, must be first put together by individual consciousness before it can then be constructed materially.

There is therefore a process of psychological construction where basic psychological structures are manipulated and formed in a perspective which, physically, you do not perceive.

The subconscious merely is aware of, and operates within, a very valid psychological perspective, with which the so-called conscious self is not familiar. Before physical construction can occur therefore, psychological perception, manipulation and construction of inner data or inner structures must be performed.

Survival is a basic psychological structure. Consciousness survival: construction of this basic psychological structure of consciousness survival must be interpreted, or projected or constructed, in terms of physical survival within your physical field.

The individual then constructs fear and hatred into physical construction, giving fear and hatred definite physical form. The error is in the original inability to perceive the correct inner data, the basic underlying psychological structure of consciousness survival.

This error may become habitual, coloring all other psychological structures, and resulting in unfortunate and dangerous physical constructions. They are extremely destructive errors, and have many causes. The physical construction is then perceived by the outer senses as threatening and fearful, and influences through the outer senses the inner individual, so that he begins a vicious circle in an attempt to form further, more threatening physical constructions to combat the earlier ones. And the greater the number of such destructive physical constructions, the greater his expectation of further fear.

I have hinted at the reasons for such errors. Habitual errors become part of the psychological perspective. Communication between individuals in the psychological perspective is almost exclusively telepathic, and is picked up early by the young from their parents. In the beginning, children actually begin their physical construction along lines telepathically received from their parents, at the same time that they learn their own manipulation in the psychological perspective.

I am leading up to the part that expectation plays in the construction of your physical environment, but you can see now why it was necessary that I explain the psychological perspective to you beforehand.

I will tonight or in a following session outline for you the basic psychological structures, as they are extremely important, for they form the basis for your physical constructions, and knowledge of them will let you know what you have to work with.

You can see that we have merely begun to scratch the surface here. You may, perhaps, glimpse what I mean in one way intuitively by considering what is meant when I say that your physical constructions form, or become the shape of, your environment in terms of what I have said about psychological form, period.

The shape of the physical environment, for example, is not static; though it is made of material it is not one thing at one place and within one time, and not something else. That is, the quality that you call environment, and speak of as if it were one thing with one shape and form always, is indeed at various times many things in many places, with you at the focal point.

You therefore at any time, physically, can change what you call your environment physically merely by changing your location. Environment therefore involves not a thing but a perspective that exists in relation to the individual.

Since physical environment of itself is not one thing that can be taken with you, but a relationship within a personal perspective, where then does the feeling of consistency of environment originate?

This sense of continuity in individual environment is a result of the individual’s characteristic way of constructing basic psychological structures into physical structures.

The basic psychological structures available have definite solidity, depth, mass, et cetera, in the psychological perspective, and they may be formed into numberless gestalt patterns, which are then constructed physically. The variations of construction are endless. There is nothing to force an individual for example to form psychological gestalts of hate and fear from the basic structure of consciousness survival.

(Sat. 8/1, 9 PM: I experienced my familiar thrilling sensation in a mild but definite way before and immediately upon lying down. Later, I noted the now familiar feeling of elevation again. First my left foot felt somewhat elevated, then my left hand, and finally the entire left side of my body. This rather pleasant and definite feeling had good duration; at one time I felt as though I was turned to lie upon my right side, so that my left side was raised up. The feeling varied in intensity at times, and along with it I had the thrilling sensation in various limbs.
