“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I did not mean that Ruburt should handle all your personal matters by any means. [...] I merely mean that when Ruburt feels strongly one way or another about a particular situation that you should give the matter deep thought and consideration, since you can usually, not always but usually, trust his intuitions.

It is not a matter of inventing new instruments any longer. It is a matter of using the invisible instruments that you have. [...]

I did suggest that for the present you trust Ruburt’s intuitions in the matter of your parents while you caught up with the technique of dissociation. [...]

As far as mediums are concerned, for that matter the term is rather ridiculous. [...]

Actually, you consider action which seems to be at least partially self-directive as living matter. Action that seems to be of a static nature, you refer to as inert matter. It should go without saying that all action is indeed self-directed action to some degree, and therefore should be termed as living matter.

[...] You call matter living or dead according to quite arbitrary designations. [...] In our last session, I mentioned that you considered live matter to be action in motion.

There is much that I would still like to say tonight on matter, but it does not matter if it waits longer. [...]

[...] I have more to discuss on the nature of matter, and some remarks, at least, pertaining to the house; and Ruburt’s position at the gallery, if he decides to let me through.

[...] Ruburt should not visit his mother however, nor waste any time wondering about the matter.

[...] Not only this year but as a matter of course. [...]

[...] There was therefore interaction last evening when he felt resentful on a sensitive matter. [...]

In the matter of weight also there was first a point where weight process was reversed, where the weight was held steady before a gain could be made. [...]

(It’s been further suggested that this vanishing matter can show up elsewhere, either in our universe or others, through “white holes.” There would be a flow of matter in our universe and also between universes, keeping things in balance.)

[...] A “black hole” is thus left in space, and surrounding matter can disappear into this.

[...] The electromagnetic “matter” may reemerge through the same “hole” or “point” which is now a white hole.

This does not mean of course that you must helter-skelter have a burst of interviews of visitors—but after three or four encounters with people of any supposed authority, Ruburt is then in a position to make new decisions on such matters, based on current knowledge and his own preferences: and he will no longer avoid such adventures out of fear.

[...] He felt proud of himself, at ease with the company, and he spoke of matters he considered important. [...]

[...] It doesn’t matter.”

[...] Jane received from Oversoul Seven last February 20th a page of material about techniques, methods, and concentrating on doing “what’s right,” that I think is the best information we could possibly get, no matter what the source. [...]

For this session we will leave our material concerning dreams, to discuss another matter. [...]

[...] It is a natural protective mechanism of inner origin, directly affecting matter. [...]

Ruburt has for years done fairly well in this matter, automatically regulating large areas of his health, with as you know some small failures, such as the sinus condition mainly, and the faulty eyesight.

[...] The two Eastern exercises, done occasionally by Ruburt, should be adopted by you both as a matter of routine daily.

[...] I’d made a note of it, and asked that Seth comment if we had a session yesterday: “Units of consciousness also form other kinds of matter that you do not perceive.” [...]

(Now, I’d instantly begun to wonder, what other kinds of matter could there be? [...]

[...] He did go into your thing about matter, didn’t he?” She added that the poem Seth had referred to is the one I used to conclude the introductory essays for Dreams. [...]

I want to avoid concentration upon esoteric practices in this book, but they do sometimes impinge upon the subject matter at hand.

[...] In matters of health, such beliefs can have most unfortunate results. [...]

I am explaining this matter rather thoroughly because we will be getting to matters concerning the entity and its personality developments. [...]

Not only does the physical matter that composes these images go back into the physical storehouse, to be reused time and time again, but also the physical matter is broken down once again to the state in which it was before its cooperation of parts that formed a particular physical body.

The capacity and mechanism necessary to project idea into physical matter is, therefore, present in the individual atom and molecule. [...]

When I say that chemicals alone will not give you consciousness, I am speaking of the theory held that physical matter, chemicals and atoms, that were inert and lifeless, suddenly through some metamorphosis attained the conscious state through an evolutionary development.

(The matter of fire ants had come up when we watched the TV show, In Search Of at 2:30 this afternoon. [...] I suppose my readiness was at least partially founded upon the idea that it would be a good thing for Jane to speak through Seth about other matters occasionally than her symptoms and related topics. [...]

Man is himself a part of nature, no matter how far apart from it he might sometimes feel. [...]

There are multitudinous species of viruses and so forth that man has not encountered and recognized, and there are connections between viruses and other species of living matter that remain unknown. [...] Vegetable matter is a main diet, though often supplemented by insects, which are considered a delicacy.

They have, for that matter, devised many ingenious insect traps, so that hundreds or more can be caught, for many are needed since insects are so small. [...]

[...] Now you know of positive and negative matter. There are also other kinds of matter forming other systems of reality, invisible to your eyes, as is negative matter.

There are in fact infinite varieties of matter, existing in what you would call (underlined) one space framework. [...]

I will tell you this (pause, eyes open):Neither of you realize as yet the full extent of Ruburt’s inner change of mind, his commitment now to our work, the commitment of his abilities to these matters for his lifetime.

[...] Now the consciousness is within the cell, all through the cell, not localized within it, and yet it is not the matter of the cell.

Basically speaking of course the matter of the cell does not exist. [...]

I had thought of going into that matter this evening. [...]

[...] He was indeed a lawyer, but also was involved involved in psychic studies with a group in Cleveland called the Brothers of the Fourth Order, and he is particularly interested in the manipulation of physical matter. [...]

[...] Energy was used to manipulate physical matter. [...]

[...] The energy that was used to manipulate and move matter compares with energy that resides within each of you. [...]

It goes without saying that had Ruburt known beforehand the subject matter of the session, he would have blocked it. [...]

[...] This is not only understandable but in many instances profitable, in that it allows for a diversity of subject matter.

[...] I also suggest, merely as a matter of discipline, that he contemplate his part in the universe, so that he senses an enlargement of self in which personal worries and obsessions will not loom so large.

[...] And I also most strongly suggest that three times a week in a very quiet, disciplined but positive manner, he makes it a point to express himself when any matters arise where he holds a diverse opinion from the one being presented.

[...] If you are afraid of yourself, if you are afraid of your own memories, you will block your associative processes, fearing for example that they will bring to light matters best forgotten — and usually sexual matters.

[...] In a matter of moments it may trigger you to think of events in your childhood, so that many mental images fly through your mind. [...]

[...] In the beginning, it does not matter whether or not your predictions are “true.” [...]

(Book work ended at 11:35 P.M.) after which Seth commented on some other matters Jane was interested in.)

[...] There is a small matter I would like to clear up. [...]

[...] In some other instances concerning the same kind of matters, some distortions did occur. [...]

I would like to devote a little time this evening to a matter that concerns Ruburt rather deeply. [...]

[...] As a child he simply would not do so, and to make matters worse the mother taunted him for being a coward.

[...] Clairvoyance exists because matter and energy are one and the same thing. There is clairvoyance within the organs of the physical body itself, because the organs of the body are not, quote, “just” matter, but energy which has composed itself into matter. [...]

[...] Other matters briefly mentioned this evening will be more thoroughly discussed then also.

[...] I am not here referring to Mass Events, which was indeed directed toward the condition of the world, but to matters—whatever they may be—where Ruburt feels a responsibility on his part (underlined) for me to dictate specific material that might answer questions he thinks scientists or others might have in mind about any given subject matter; for I write from a different viewpoint, and our material is of course not to be dictated in any (pause)important way by the statement of your official knowledge at any given time. [...]

[...] Difficulties arise, however, in book dictation on those occasions when he becomes too heavy-handed and worries about the responsibility of helping to solve the world’s problems—about his or my capacities in that regard, and when he considers the possible and various objections that any given subject matter might activate on the part of any given group of people. [...]

(10:05.) Ruburt’s abilities—and your own, for that matter—came to light because they are natural characteristics of your beings. [...]

First, again, you have various stages of, say, pseudomatter, of dream images, that only gradually—in those terms—coalesce and become physically viable, for there are endless varieties of “matter” between the matter that you recognize and the antimatter of physicists’ theories.

If you remember that beneath all, each unit of consciousness is aware of the position of each other unit, and that these units form all physical matter, then perhaps you can intuitively follow what I mean, for whatever knowledge man attains, whatever experience any one person accumulates, whatever arts or sciences you produce, all such information is instantly perceived at other levels of activity by each of the other units of consciousness that compose physical reality—whether those units form the shape of a rock, a raindrop, an apple, a cat, a frog or a shoe. [...]

[...] These then took on all of the characteristics that you now consider formed physical matter.
