“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When I came to, I found myself scrawling what was obviously meant as the title of that odd batch of notes: The Physical Universe As Idea Construction. Later the Seth Material would develop those ideas, but I didn’t know that at the time. In one of the early sessions Seth said that this had been his first attempt to contact me. I only know that if I’d begun speaking for Seth that night, I would have been terrified.

“The eye projects and focuses the inner image (idea) onto the physical world in the same manner that a motion-picture camera transfers an image onto a screen. The mouth creates words. The ears create sound. The difficulty in understanding this principle is due to the fact that we’ve taken it for granted that the image and sound already exist for the senses to interpret. Actually the senses are the channels of creation by which idea is projected into material expression.

“The basic idea is that the senses are developed, not to permit awareness of an already existing material world, but to create it. …”

The very next day I began. Within a week I’d developed a group of experiments designed to discover whether or not the ordinary person could develop extrasensory abilities. I did an outline for the book and shipped it off to my publisher, but without any great hopes.
