“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

An engagement that is not scheduled will be important, and the crux of the matter.

The units are just beneath the range of physical matter. [...]

[...] Being just beyond the range of matter, having a structure but a nonphysical one, and being of a pulsating nature, they can expand or contract. [...]

I will suggest a brief break, and with your consent we will speak a while longer on this particular matter.

[...] As a beginning I would suggest that your friend read our material concerning the formation of physical matter in general, the formation of the physical image, and the physical organs. [...]

Our material concerning the construction of the physical universe and of physical matter in general may now, perhaps, give you an idea of how important suggestion is. [...]

[...] Your friend’s ulcer for example is his problem in its entirety, constructed into the physical matter of his own organism.

[...] They settled many matters by hastily scribbled notes (pause), and by other methods that sometimes did not even seem to deal with the matter at hand. [...]

Ruburt’s subject matter, however, was not routine, particularly back in those times. [...]

[...] He began to feel somewhat humiliated that as a woman he needed his husband to take care of such matters, and he felt threatened not only by such circumstances, but of course by the changes going on at Prentice itself and by Tam’s own growing restlessness. [...]

[...] He can be extremely unbending, but I believe that this session will help matters considerably. [...]

[...] I did not mean to take the whole session up with private matter. [...]

We will resume full blast on matter and its nature at our next session. [...]

I will not go into that at this time, as it involves matters which we have not discussed. [...]

[...] You can, according to your abilities, manipulate matter from the inside consciously, with lucidity and alertness.

[...] As a rule, it is still physically oriented, in that the abilities are usually directed toward the inner perception and manipulation of matter or physical environment. [...]

[...] This state can be extremely advantageous when you are trying to solve problems having to do with future arrangements, decisions that will affect the future, and any matters, in fact, in which important decisions for the future must be made. [...]

(Pause.) It is not as easy for the ordinary individual to enter, and it deals with group presents, with mass probabilities, racial matters, the movement of civilization. [...]

[...] “But the publisher would want it organized according to subject matter, or presented in some orderly way,” I replied, whereupon she wrinkled her face at the work this might involve: “But you could do all that after we got the material....”

[...] Women were inferiors, and in matters of religion and philosophy most of all, for there their creativity could be most disruptive. [...]

[...] Yet he felt that women were inferior, and that his very abilities made him vulnerable, that he would be ridiculed by others, that women were not taken seriously as profound thinkers, or innovators in philosophical matters.

[...] Expectations then will always bring about a definite change, not only in your attitude toward matter, but in matter itself.

Your scientific principles have been formulated either through direct interpretation of matter as perceived through the outer senses, or formulated indirectly but in accordance with such perception. [...]

[...] That is, the smallest unit of individual consciousness which finds physical fulfillment in the formation of matter.

[...] Your time sense gives it and all matter the appearance of durability. [...]

Now I tell you, it does not matter which step you take. It does not matter. [...]

[...] For no matter what I tell you, you still seem to fear as if you are limited and as if your self is something within your head bounded by your bony skull, and enclosed within your physical body. [...]

[...] Though my voice does not often sound joyful it is a matter of mechanics. [...]

No matter what you do at this point, you will break the thread of activity by taking any step, and you must take the step. [...]

[...] He has done well, and you have helped him in the important matter of keeping his spirits up in the meantime. [...]

[...] I will have a separate session on another night in the near future on the entire matter.

A few remarks on another matter.

[...] Work such as ours is a different matter than a novel. [...]

[...] If you do that as a matter of course, you not only lose the safety, but project threat into the future. [...]

[...] It is simply a matter of discrimination.

There is great give-and-take here as in all other matters. [...] There is much involved here in the matter of personality fragments and of particular personalities, and it is too late for me to begin a discussion in depth.

[...] For that matter, a personality can choose to ignore the problems completely, though this is at best a cowardly solution and simply holds the personality back. [...]

I am never sure really if my analogies help matters or not, but here is another. [...]

There are laws of a sort that govern these matters. [...]

Of course we have more material yet to cover on the nature of matter as it appears to you. [...]

[...] It quite made up for two regular sessions, and I will not go into that subject matter at all this evening.

[...] Discoveries in this realm will be fully as magnificent as those like discoveries in the world of physical matter; and again, because ideas and psychic energy form the basis of the physical universe, an expansion and thrust in the realm of idea will serve to actually expand and change the nature, scope and dimension of your physical universe, and in a way that could be achieved in no other manner.

[...] I replied that it didn’t seem to matter. [...]

[...] It is a matter of understanding the process—not of blaming yourself for reactions you do not approve of. [...]

[...] It is a matter, again, of understanding the process. [...]

For that matter you will be giving them additional energy and refreshment because of the experiments. [...]

I am not going to let the matter rest here, I assure you. [...]

[...] You will think of questions, therefore, matters that I take for granted. [...]

The smallest unit of pure energy, therefore, weighing nothing in your terms, containing within itself no mass, would hold within its own nature the propensity for the creation of matter in all of its forms, the impetus to create all possible universes. [...]

[...] For that matter, despite all appearances, the physical universe was not born through some explosion of energy which is being dispersed, but is everywhere being created at all of its points “at each moment.”

[...] For that matter, their natural television operated better in some ways than your technological version, for their mental images allowed them to perceive events in neighboring areas or in other portions of the world. [...]

[...] After discussing several other matters, Seth ended the session at 10:05 P.M. One of those “other matters,” however, led to Note 1.)

[...] It does have a form, somewhere between matter and nonmatter.

[...] This is the self as it appears within what you may call for now fifth-dimensional reality, but it does not exist at all in terms of matter. [...]

Dark printed matter. [...]

(“Dark printed matter.” [...]

[...] For most scientific materialists only physical matter is real. [...] They derisively call their rebellious colleagues “animists”—those who believe that all life forms and natural phenomena have a spiritual origin independent of physical matter. [...]

Jane and I have often been most intrigued by the obvious contradictions involved here, for what can the materialistic scientists use other than mind—or consciousness, that poor epiphenomenon—to study and dissect matter? (Not to mention that innumerable experiments have proven that “physical matter” isn’t solid or objective at all, but “only” energy!) We have, then, the paradox of mind denying its own reality, let alone its importance. [...]

[...] Such omissions can easily result when the session routine is interrupted—we simply may not keep a particular session that closely in mind as we become involved in other matters during a break. [...]
