“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In order to understand my answer it is necessary that our material on the construction of physical matter be understood. We shall also be considering the nature of sense perceptions very shortly, and this data will also help to answer your question.

In reference to the second pair, or set of fingers, for example, these were not so-called spirit hands. We were manipulating energy, and forming it into pseudomatter. These were secondary constructions, if you remember the distinction between primary and secondary constructions given earlier.

As you know, you create or construct all physical matter. What you see are your own constructions. This does not mean however that there is not something within or behind what you perceive. All thoughts are composed of energy, and from our discussions you realize that there are electrical intensities within whose range all reality exists.

Now. In the experimental seance, due to the circumstances and lack of training on Ruburt’s part, we redistributed some energy. Ruburt, during the seance, weighed somewhat less than his usual weight. Very little actually. With his help certain portions of energy were used to construct pseudoimages.

Reality changes its form in order to become known to itself. It constructs varieties of consciousness with varying kinds of sense apparatus, or perceiving apparatus. Each consciousness then perceives reality in a different fashion. Yet all fashions you see are legitimate, as far as physical sense apparatus is concerned. But the mental or psychic energy behind all this is the one basic reality.
