“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Because you respond as physical creatures you respond best of all to tangible physical results. You do not know how far you can go in any given waves of activity until you see it objectified, or nearly so. If you knew how to handle energy effectively, if you fully realized that your thoughts were the motivating factor, were the realities, then you would not need a physical existence, for that is the reason for the physical environment.

Now you must understand that this continues throughout the entire system—animal and plant life. Change is gradual. In many ways it is a sleeping system, change taking place so slowly and nonviolently that the danger is in a constant status quo. The mental associative patterns are completely different from your own. Even abruptness of thought, you see, carries implications of violence, of abrupt change—the breaking of one pattern for another.

(“Yes. I’ve thought of that.” And Jane’s childlike paintings show it.)
