“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

They formed atoms and molecules, after first spreading out a positive field. There was also therefore from the beginning here a negative field, and as they weaved matter in and out of this psychic beginning meshwork, they formed both the world of matter and of negative matter.

The individuals continue to exist, and express themselves according to their development in other fields not connected with yours, when they are finished on your plane. [...] And in other ways to lesser degrees, through abstract thought, through art of any kind, the physical human being, having been formed by consciousness, in his own way then working through and with matter, constructs other fields or planes of attraction, which according to their abilities expand.

[...] They, the possibilities inherent in inwardness, collect magnetically, so to speak, about other like possibilities, setting up coherent fields of like attractions. [...]

This inwardness is so adaptive and self-generating, seeking all outlets and possibilities, that it not only in your case formed a physical universe, but found new ways, operating through the new physical universe, to construct an additional field or plane within and completely through, or on the other side of while yet within the physical universe; this being your dream world, which is made possible because of the physical mechanisms and involvements themselves.

As energy flows through your field and appears within it, it does so according to its own inherent nature. [...]

The limits of identity are arbitrary on your part, developed throughout the stages of your evolutionary process, not for any reason inherent in identity itself, but merely for purely practical reasons on your physical field, having to do with the amount of matter that various kinds of identities could effectively manipulate and control.

[...] This is also one of the reasons why whole entities, as whole entities, do not exist in your field, but only separate, partially disconnected portions.

Other fields do allow for greater complexity of psychic organization, and let me remind you again that such psychic organizations do not involve a blurring of individuality in some undefinable whole, as for example any drowning of consciousness in some gigantic, benign superconsciousness. [...]

[...] The sharpness or rigidity or quality of the perceived material depends on the energy which forms it, and the characteristics of matter therefore depend upon the position of the energy that fills the pattern; but by position, I think in terms of the arrival and departure of this energy as it passes through your field.

All material is energy, appearing in the physical field into patterns that have been prepared for it. [...]

[...] The fact is, material on your field is composed of constant energy pulsations; and while to you the appearance is one of permanence to a fair degree, and while I have said that the pulsations are constant, nevertheless they are completely distinct, separate and new pulsations that are not continuous in the terms that you apply to one object that is continuous.

[...] To the field of negative matter, your positive matter would be termed negative. [...]

[...] This follows certain laws inherent in the field of nature as far as matter is concerned. [...]

[...] Therefore, such personalities that you would project are already projected, and only the veil of unawareness divides you, as only the veil of unawareness ever separates one field or plane from another.

In some respects all planes or fields of existence are indeed by-products of others. [...]

Now, as in the physical field atoms combine for their own benefit and individually into more complicated structure gestalts, so do they also combine to form such gestalts, though of a somewhat different nature, in the dream world.

(9:45.) Instead, you have an inner dimension of activity, a vast field of multidimensional creativity, a Creator that becomes a portion of each of its creations, and yet a Creator that is greater than the sum of its parts: a Creator that can know itself as a mouse in a field, or as the field, or as the continent upon which the field rests, or as the planet that holds the continent, or as the universe that holds the world—a force that is whole yet divisible, that is one and the inconceivably many, a force that is eternal and mortal at once, a force that plunges headlong into its own creativity, forming the seasons and experiencing them as well, glorifying in individuation, and yet always aware of the great unity that is within and behind and through all experiences of individuality: a force from [which] each moment’s pasts and futures flow out in every conceivable direction.

(Pause at 9:04, one of many.) Each “particleized” unit, however, rides the continual thrust set up by fields of consciousness, in which wave and particle both belong. [...]

(Pause at 10:02.) There is a point here that I want to emphasize before we go too far, and it is this: The dream world is not an aimless, nonlogical, unintellectual field of activity. [...]

Your scientific fields of endeavor may stumble upon the mathematical probabilities involved in such other fields within perhaps a 60-year period, but they will not recognize the significance of the discovery—which will probably be made in an attempt to obtain more data concerning an idea related to Einstein’s special field theory.

There are other drugs however, and if these are discovered and utilized, then these developments could occur within the field of psychology itself. [...]

(The article concerns the drug supply available in plants, and the paucity of our knowledge about this vast field. [...]

(“Another rapidly growing field of knowledge concerns the alkaloid family of chemicals, which includes a wide variety of hallucinogens, substances that induce hallucination. [...]

[...] Each of these so-called realities, for one blends into the other, could be termed, or viewed as, a separate field. Each is therefore composed of the characteristic perception patterns that happen to lie within it, and these so-called minor fields could then be termed other selves, or minor selves, from the standpoint of the self that we are considering.

As this effective field of perception patterns changes, so do the apparent boundaries of the practical self. [...]

[...] There is also a dream ego, in that there is within that reality field a directive part of the self that is concerned with the construction of purpose and meaning.

The deeply and strongly dimensioned sphere I used as an analogy for an action, if you recall, for any portion of action; you can now indeed further imagine one entity being composed of such an action, with egos like many faces looking outward in all directions, and each perceiving vastly different fields of reality; looking inward and outward, backward and forward as it were, through and beyond. [...]

Underneath this recognized order of events, however, there is actually a vast field of ever-occurring action. These fields of probabilities are action sources for your reality; but your world-action is also a source for these other probabilities.

Scientifically, with all of your instruments, you are thus far able to perceive the atom’s presence only in the field of your own system of probability. [...]

[...] The EE units² within matter, within the atoms and molecules, are aware of the probable fields of action that are possible. [...]

[...] Your time structures, then, are intimately connected with probable action and fields of actuality. [...]

[...] Therefore, I want you in your lovemaking to imagine that your body is like a field—be aware as stimuli come to this field—feel it waken. [...] The body is affected by touch in the same way as a field by the wind, the sun and the rain. [...]

[...] You are too serious in your lovemaking, as in other fields.

The field analogy mentioned earlier should help you.

Concentrate upon the idea of your body being a field awakened by the wind and the rain—awakened into sensation—not necessarily passive, then, but in a strange condition between alertness and passivity.

[...] Existence within any field of reality necessitates intensive focus within that field. [...]

Will it be possible, for example, to eliminate such causes to any astonishing degree, and therefore prolong mankind’s individual existence within the physical field? [...]

[...] Existence within the physical field depends upon a focus of psychic energy, in the subconscious construction of that physical organism without which material survival is not possible.

[...] Neither can the vibrant, almost fanatical focus of the self within the limitations of one field continue indefinitely.

[...] In such a manner are all fields activated.

[...] A thought within your field must vanish, be terminated, disappear, before it can be replaced by another. [...]

[...] The secondary self belonging to the materialization gives us, within your field, the ego.

The word materialization is used because it is applicable within your field. [...]

[...] There are also however forms or structures that are what you may call psychological forms or structures, even within your own field, which you do not perceive with your outer senses, but which are nevertheless frameworks that underlie form as it appears in matter.

To some extent then, physical structures are symbols of psychological structures; and psychological structures are adopted by consciousness and will be projected in many fields, differing in appearance and outward structure, but always following faithfully the inner psychological structure.

[...] Matter could therefore, even in your field, appear in many forms which are presently unknown to you. [...]

[...] Consciousness survival: construction of this basic psychological structure of consciousness survival must be interpreted, or projected or constructed, in terms of physical survival within your physical field.

[...] Jane said it was as though her eyes had actually moved further apart to create this expanded field of awareness, of infinite black. [...]

[...] This seventh inner sense represents an extension of the self, a widening of its conscious comprehension … or a pulling together into … a minute capsule that enables the self to enter other fields.

(And from the 40th session:) The tissue capsule is actually an energy field boundary … At the same time it protects the whole self from certain radiations which do not here concern you. [...]

[...] There is great interplay here, and a continual interchange of energies, and of energies that are transformed and recharged, so to speak, through their constant passage between fields. [...]

[...] It was a main contribution of that field to your own, and could be compared physically to an emergence of a new planet within the physical universe.

[...] Often, again, the dream universe possesses concepts which will, some day, completely transform the history of your field; but a denial of such concepts as actualities or possibilities within reality, hold these back, and put off breakthroughs that are sorely needed.

Such developments would mean the releasing and availability of added energy into your field, that would have endless possibilities in all directions. [...]

[...] Their validity is dependent upon the individual’s ability to receive inner data, to translate inner data, to manipulate energy, and to construct it onto the material field.

Mark among other things was given, and received, the impression of an intelligence superior to any you usually experience within your field. [...]

[...] Such a seeming intrusion as an apparition into the physical field represents something that must be dealt with, to you; and when the unfamiliar takes physical shape it becomes much more alarming, to most people, than even a strange idea, which after all does not seem so real in a physical way.

[...] They formed themselves at Mark’s instigation into a gestalt of physical construction; but the gestalt could not operate consistently or endure for any amount of physical time, in your field, because of the absence here of the greater data which is the property of the whole self, in its construction of a completed human form. [...]

[...] You react to a highly specific but limited field. [...] You simply divest yourself of physical paraphernalia, tune into different fields, and react to other sets of assumptions.

[...] Suffice it to say that large fields of emotional focus toward physical reality can hold you back from further development.

[...] However, there are energy fields that do separate them. [...]

The point that I wanted to make is that in all instances energy, individualized energy, materializes itself on any, or within any, field through mental enclosures; which are of themselves not formed of any camouflage, but represent entry points formed of pure energy for its entrance and eventual manipulation within a given field.

This must be understood, for it will be the basis for further discussions of our three close universal fields. [...]

[...] Yours is obviously a probable system to other fields also touched by the field of probabilities.

(Tuesday, May 12, 8:15 PM: Upper center of my field of vision; I saw [...]

(Also at this same time: Lower center of my field of vision; I saw a pack of dogs of various breeds and sizes, one of them a Dalmatian. [...]

These fields involve psychological reactions, not physically perceivable, and yet as explosive in their way as a nuclear detonation. [...] Those propellants are psychic fields of interrelationship.

[...] Events themselves involve a steady condition of highly related fields of activity, however, that exist between the EE units, so to speak.

[...] Momentarily a field of relatedness is set up that is highly charged, one that provides an inner path by which probable events can flow into your area of recognized events.
