“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is form. The very mechanism of the body however is so constructed that it can bear the brunt of many errors, and free itself from them, though this may not seem to be the case at times. Nevertheless yours is a slow-motion world in many ways as far as your perceptions are concerned, while you are within it. Your body is much like a sculptor or a sculpt, never really completed, the inner self trying out various techniques of creativity on its first test piece. The results are not always of the best, but the sculptor is independent of his product and knows there will others.

Now this material has important psychological implications that I will follow up, and it is also connected with our material on perception. Ruburt physically perceives as well as feels the symptoms. Our Jesuit will not see the problem, even to that extent, and so it is buried even physically within him.

Now there are other layers. Many problems are never materialized as physical symptoms. They remain as blank spots, uncultivated and unproductive areas within the psyche—areas in which there are no problems because there is no experience permitted. Curiously vacant areas in which very little perception is allowed. A lack of development, lacking any challenge or possibility for fulfillment.

Old negative patterns of thought, always present beneath an exterior optimism, had gone unrecognized by him, and were like a thorn in his side. Until these emerged physically he was not aware of them sufficiently enough to handle them effectively. They distorted his reality and his perceptions without his being aware of them.

I am going into this rather deeply because while we are dealing with perceptions we will also be discussing distortions, because the information will help Ruburt, and because personal examples serve well for your understanding.
