“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Each individual atom within its generalized consciousness has the capacity, in some degree, to construct its portion of energy into physical construction. [...]

[...] It goes without saying that mankind is not alone in maintaining the physical universe, and in giving it continuity as he projects and constructs his own physical image; and as this image is the direct result of his own inner psychic climate, and as it reflects most faithfully his own inner joy and illness, and as this joy and illness shows itself physically in his image, so also do all living things construct their own images, and help to maintain the physical properties of your universe.

There is also a mechanism within the subconscious that allows for the materialization or projection of idea or inner vitality into physical construction. [...]

What you need is a preponderance of constructive words. [...]

As he is feeding himself now, have him think of his thoughts as nourishment, so that he feeds himself constructive nourishing thoughts. [...]

[...] Again, as mentioned, you helped him the other night, bringing him into the moment constructively, and this is what is needed. [...]

This sort of behavior continues of course whether you are waking or sleeping, and is highly involved in the construction of dream images and constructions. [...]

[...] You predispose yourselves toward the construction of events of a particular nature, to which of course you then react.

You also help maintain and form constructions or events of others that fit in with your own particular varieties of interests. [...]

The motion and the speed varies from regular constructions. I am in this particular instance speaking through Ruburt while I have also stood by in a construction and watched him speak. At a later date I may be able, briefly, to speak from my own construction. [...]

There is the Mark which Mark has created, an actual physical construction. There is another Mark does not see, and this Mark is an actual physical construction created by you. [...]

[...] You will find that this construction is being created by myself. Just to appear on your plane, any construction, whether perceived by you or not, must be composed of atoms and molecules.

[...] This holding back, this gathering and collection without instant outlet, is one of the natural and constant processes involved not only in the construction of energy into matter, but in the construction of energy into any other form, and it is closely allied to the pause and pulsation that I have mentioned, as atoms and molecules appear and disappear imperceptibly, even while they seem to give continuity to any particular object.

The entity, each entity, was formed in this manner, it in turn sending out its creations in terms of other personalities, and these personalities sending forth their own psychic as well as physical constructions. When I spoke of energy being transformed within the mental enclosure, I mentioned that it was transformed into matter, but also into other constructions.

Certainly all energy does not go into the construction of physical matter, even on the physical level, as you should know; and I have mentioned in the past that dreams are not sterile, but also construct according to the nature of their own properties.

“The motion and speed varies from regular constructions. I am in this particular instance speaking through Ruburt while I have also stood by in the construction and watched him speak. At a later date I may be able to speak from my own construction.”

[...] As he sits in his chair, he is constantly creating his own physical image, using his own psychic energy, and using particular atoms and molecules for the construction of his body. So far we have here, then, one Mark, constructed by himself, and before the evening is out you will be amazed at how many Marks we end up with.

[...] The construction is being created by myself. Just to appear within your plane, any construction, whether perceived by you or not, must be composed of atoms or molecules.

[...] It has been in the process of changing, but it suddenly shows the change as it suddenly becomes obvious through physical construction. When it finally manages to change constructions, bringing them into line with present alterations, the individual realizes that something has happened.

[...] It represents the minimum psychological expectation necessary for construction.

Psychological energy units smaller or weaker than the minimum unit required for physical construction, simply pass through the physical field unperceived and unconstructed. [...]

The problem of aggression is simply the problem of using your own energy constructively. When you are forced to use it constructively you learn little. [...]

[...] In others the aggressive instincts, as they are called, were almost automatically channeled toward what you would call constructive areas.

[...] The problem of how to handle energy constructively was put in far simpler terms. [...]

[...] There is a growth principle operating in the realm of ideas and in the construction of these ideas into camouflage patterns.

This actual gathering up of prime vitality for the purpose of physical construction is not however truly automatic, and it is not truly performed unconsciously. [...]

The conscious ego then manipulates this material for the purposes of camouflage constructions. [...]

[...] It is true that your thoughts and emotions and beliefs form the reality that you experience — but it is also true that this creative construction is, in a manner of speaking, magically formed. That is, the construction of your body and the construction of a world (pause) are produced with the greatest combination of order and spontaneity — an order and spontaneity that seems hidden rather than apparent (all intently).

As an analogy, you live in a self-constructed box with certain self-constructed senses to enable you to perceive the boxworld that you yourself have created. [...]

Only in this case the hallucinary effects are actual constructions upon the plane in question, and involve problems that must be worked out. The hallucinations appear more or less consistent merely because everyone on that particular level is under the effects of self-hypnosis, and because they have already constructed hallucinary senses, the outer senses, in order to perceive the hallucinary world that they have created.

You insist upon a continuity and a seeming cause and effect because of the erected wall barrier that you yourselves have constructed. [...]

Energy projected into any kind of construction, psychic or physical, cannot be recalled, but must follow the laws of the particular form into which it has been for the moment molded. Therefore, when the dreamer contracts his multi-realistic objects backward, ending for himself the so-called dream that he constructed, he ends it for himself only. [...]

[...] Certain symbols are constructed into realities in the dream universe, then, in much the same manner that certain ideas are constructed into matter in the physical universe.

[...] While such a dream is less complex than others, it is nevertheless an amazing construction, and when we break down the obvious perceived objects or events of such a dream, we will find that the immediate objects and events that have application in daily life, that may be rehashed versions of the day, have nevertheless been carefully chosen.

We merely construct imaginary lines to walk upon. So real are the wall constructions of your room that you would freeze in the wintertime without them, yet there is no room and no walls. So in a like manner the wires that we constructed are real to us in the universe, although there are no wires. [...]

Consider then a network of wires somewhat like, although different from, Jane’s conception of idea construction—a maze of interlocking wires endlessly constructed, so that looking through them there would seem to be no beginning or end. [...]

[...] Things behave as though the wires and cubes were there, but these were only constructions necessary even to those on my plane in order to make things comprehensible to our faculties, the faculties of any entity. We construct images consistent with the senses we happen to have at a particular time. [...]

There are points of correspondence you see between people that can be used to set up constructive communications and bring about constructive events. [...]

[...] He is sending constructive telepathic suggestions to the landlady, and they are being received. [...]

[...] When Leonard returned, all unknowingly he sent out constructive thoughts to which she also reacted; but he loved his lawn and his yard, and in his mind’s eye he saw it the way he wanted it, clearly, and it did become an event.

“Without this sixth sense and its constant use by the inner self, you could not construct the physical camouflage universe. [...]

[...] Surely this sense suddenly came into operation during my experience with “cosmic consciousness” and was partially responsible for my “Idea Construction” manuscript. [...]

[...] Frank was doing construction on the porches then, too, and I was worried about the Gallery-of-Silence people bugging Prentice and me. [...]

This morning Frank’s brother began work on new construction—enclosing the porch (the opposite too in a way from before). [...]

[...] Her first massive sensations in March [estimated], 1962, were followed by these phenomena in 1963: our York Beach experiences in August; her reception of Idea Construction in September; her massive feelings in October [estimated]; the outline she produced for ESP Power [or The Coming of Seth] as a result of the Idea Construction adventure; and the beginning of these sessions in November, through our trying certain experiments listed in that outline [as Jane explains in Chapter 1 of The Seth Material]. It didn’t occur to us to label any of those events as “psychic” until the event of Idea Construction. [...]

[...] No living consciousness exists on any plane without this tissue capsule enclosing it … To some inhabitants of other planes [realities] that have access to your plane, all that can be seen of you is this capsule, since such inhabitants have had no experience in your particular type of camouflage [physical] construction. [...]

One of the most rare and extraordinary developments that can occur in schizophrenic behavior is the construction of a seeming superbeing of remarkable power — one who is able to convince other people of his divinity.

In some cases, however, the constructed superbeing can deliver astute comments on national, social, or religious conditions.

Again, however, even in far simpler cases, the constructive personage will often make predictions that, incidentally, do not predict — and almost always give orders and directives that are to be followed without question.

But what initiated the “Idea Construction” experience? [...]

[...] When you see the type of poetry that I was writing then, you will understand immediately why the ideas in “Idea Construction” were such a revelation to me. [...]

In other words, my poetry finally revealed to me my state of mind before “Idea Construction” and Seth. [...]

[...] Form is used as time structures may be used, but multidimensional personalities know that they construct form as they may construct various time systems as an aid toward organizing perception.

Now, there are some systems that do deal with a serial time unit, but in these the personalities are well aware that the serial time is of their own construction. Certain types of personalities will construct or be attracted to certain time systems. [...]

[...] The purpose for which they were constructed, in your terms, no longer exists. [...]
