“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The extra energy needed is that energy that is used to hold back the idea from finding completion in concrete terms, and forcing it to flow into a different channel. The impulse for such creativity within your field is mainly two-fold, although other elements may enter into it; there is the exuberant desire to express, the same desire exhibited by all energy. There is also however a deep dissatisfaction with the universe as it is interpreted, and a disinclination to add to it in its own terms. Hence the search for a condition of existence which will be both within and without the ordinarily conventionalized framework.

In your field, when the tree is reflected in the water, the tree itself is stationary. In our basic universe the tree, while remaining stationary, would nevertheless fall crashing into the water.

I wanted to give you this material because it is basic for any comprehension of mental acts as they occur in the dream universe and the universe of matter. There will also be additional information concerning the concept of time, as the experience of time is strongly connected with the motion of mental acts, as they are projected outward from their center into the fields of various camouflage systems.

Now. In much the same manner as these atoms behaved, so also do other units behave, including large ones such as various field universes. Remember, no systems are really closed, but only appear so. There is however a resistance about or around such units, large or small; and it is this resistance through which a mental action must appear, and within which the characteristics or camouflages of the units operate.
