“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Here we have a combination of forces psychic showing themselves in chemical and electrical manifestations. The seasons as you know represent the physical construction of the inner psychic climate. As particular portions of matter are transformed, as the inner self, through the inner senses creates a simple material object that is picked up by the outer senses clearly as, say, a table, so are these other constructions that closely mirror inner reality that are perceived by the outer senses as effects.

These constructions cannot be easily pointed to. You can point here–

–and say this is a table, and nearly all will agree. But the seasons are automatic constructions along the lines of alterations, happening to matter already constructed.

You cannot for example see autumn, but only its effects upon matter already constructed. The seasons represent indeed a more or less regular inner sweep and rhythm that finds expression through altering what psychic energy has already created.

There are, then, constructions that are known only through their effects. These constructions are those which most closely approximate inner reality, in that they are not as completely imprisoned in form or matter, but in themselves change form or matter.

(Bill said that he still could not recall the rowboat with the symbol on it at the Provincetown dock, although he readily agreed that he could have seen it and forgotten it. He explained that due to the construction of the wharf one saw just to the left as he looked out the front room in question, that it would be quite difficult to see as small an object as a rowboat tied up there; the wharf is quite high, and due to the slant of the beach a small low object like a rowboat would be hard to see.

You will find new abundances of energy, as I told you, and you can use this to better your physical constructions, and to enrich psychological time experiments.

When I speak of bettering material constructions, I speak of more perfect constructions, more faithful replicas of thought into matter, and hence I speak of the breaking up of unfortunate cycles caused by the influence of shoddy physical constructions in environment, that in turn color the inner self’s notion of the material world.

Remember, I look in on you now and then, and I look out for those close to you. If I am not a guardian angel, I do a fairly good job of approximating one’s duties, with little thanks, though I do hear vague glimmerings of appreciation. And Ruburt’s energy could still be directed to more constructive ends.

It is a fact beyond dispute that at a later hour he is able to avail himself of energy not usually available to him, and to use this energy constructively and effectively. Without duplicating the exact circumstances the three of you in this room can learn to use your energy as effectively in ordinary pursuits. There is a change of focus. Mark has also much energy that he is not using.

I do never mean to hint that material goals are basically important, for they are not. But within bounds shoddy physical constructions are a poor commentary upon psychic health. Because your hand is tired I will end, and I will again promise a short session.
