“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane felt quite tired before the session this evening. She had no idea of the subject matter for it. The weather was much cooler, and Willy napped in his chair. As session time approached Jane was so unenthusiastic that I made her coffee to help pep her up, at her request.

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.

I want to mention that while form is not a characteristic of matter, it is one of the characteristics of consciousness. The form which consciousness takes is usually composed of matter on your plane.

The form perceived by your outer senses is always composed of matter, of course. There are also however forms or structures that are what you may call psychological forms or structures, even within your own field, which you do not perceive with your outer senses, but which are nevertheless frameworks that underlie form as it appears in matter.

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.

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.

You will see that in the first mentioned examples the effect would be created by man in line with his abilities, and in the latter examples the effects would be created in some instances by what is sometimes called dead matter, but what we know as other forms of consciousness, according to their ability.

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.
