“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. There is, then, a constant interaction between the perceiver and the perceived event.

I use the word event here to include either object or happening. There is a field that combines both perceiver and perceived event, a communication and a system of similarities set up between them. Obviously this holds true in each case of perception. It is for this reason that the perceptor and the event change each other. The field reaches out from you, say, as a self, to all the things that you perceive —and physical time does not enter in.

You are only aware of any such changes when your present conscious attention is directed at any object or event. Objects or events known to you in your past still exert their pressures upon you even as your own effect still changes them. The same holds true for what you would term future objects or events.

Your intense specialized focus within a highly limited present shields these other activities from you. You are bound by an entire spectrum of events, some that have already grown dim in your memory, and others that have not yet occurred in your time. You also affect these same events, shaping and altering them, and then reacting.

Nerve impulses travel outward from the body, invisibly along these pathways in much the same manner as they travel within the body. The pathways are carriers of telepathic thoughts, impulses and desires that travel outward from any given self, altering and changing the seemingly objective events.

In a very real manner events or objects are actually focal points where highly charged psychic impulses are transformed into something that can be physically perceived, a breakthrough into matter. When such highly charged impulses intersect or coincide matter is formed. The reality behind such an explosion into matter is not dependent upon the matter. An identical or seemingly identical pattern may reemerge in quotes “at any time,” again and again, if the proper coordinates exist for activation.

There are all kinds of events traveling along the same pathways, equally used, that do not appear physically. Physically then you do not perceive them. They may be transformed and emerge as realities or events within entirely different systems, in which they are then accepted by the inhabitants as vivid events.

Now I am not going to keep you this evening, but the information on perception and its relation to physical events and objects will continue for some time. You do not understand as yet the prime part played by the nervous system in the transformation of psychic material into physical matter.
