“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In the case of individuals such feeling-tones pervade all experiences and perception, and can even therefore alter the perception of reality, therefore effectively changing it. En masse the same story is true. The world as you know it therefore at any given time is pervaded by its own “ground feeling-tone” in quotes, which becomes the medium from which and in which other feelings and ideas emerge.
