“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. In your system of reality you are learning what mental energy is, and how to use it. You do this by constantly transforming your thoughts and emotions into physical form. You are supposed to get a clear picture of your inner development by perceiving the exterior environment. What seems to be a perception, an objective concrete event, independent and apart from you the perceiver, is instead the physical materialization of the perceiver’s own inner emotions, energy and mental environment.

As long as scientists insist upon considering the perceiver and the perceived event as entirely separate, then the true nature of perception will not be understood.

Physically speaking now, there are mechanisms that interpret physical events. The scientist’s field of inquiry involves these. The methods by which emotions, concepts, and energy are projected out from the individual to form the physical environment and events, mainly occur in nonphysical terms, but there are nervous system connections that aid in this projection.

Your inner environment is the total of your inner (underlined) perceptions of inner reality. This is what you have to work with, and the raw material practically available. You then project this into physical events which you then physically perceive.

Inner perceptions enlarge the ego’s idea of reality however so adjustments are made. It is the ego that insists upon separating itself from events, preferring to imagine itself a spectator above events, rather than a participator in events.

You remember this from our material on action and the personality. The ego therefore is pleased when information is proven correct. (Long pause.) If the nature of perception were clearly understood then the nature of reality as you know it would also be understood much more clearly. Only half the process of perception, so-called, is even considered, however. Only half of the circle is known. The entire circle consists of those projections outward that form events, as well as the mechanisms by which the events are then physically perceived.

It goes without saying that telepathy is one method by which events are formed as well as perceived, but telepathy hides so far beneath physical perception that it is hardly detected.
