“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your mistake is in judging existence by its protrusion into matter as you are familiar with matter, and this attitude indeed will persist into any foreseeable future without basic change. This attitude is a defense mechanism, most understandable, since your plane or field of actuality is so involved in its relationship with material construction. There is a freedom, however, in independence from material construction that inhabitants are familiar with in other actualities.

This is not to say that a man has no control over the physical state of his own organism. It is to say that many more factors go into the construction and maintenance of the physical organism than you realize. Subconsciously, man manages to balance these influences, and there are physical mechanisms within the organism whose purpose it is to deal with such data.

The overall pattern of organization in a physical sense must be maintained however, and always under the auspices of the inner self, which is not imprisoned by its construction, although like any good guardian it spends most of its time at home, in maintaining the structure.
