“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Operating outside the body, consciousness can better perceive the properties of matter. It cannot (intently) experience matter, however, in the same fashion as it can when it is physically oriented.

[...] From that viewpoint matter itself will seem to appear differently than it does ordinarily. [...]

[...] Only in certain kinds of civilizations, for that matter, is such a close body-and-main-consciousness relationship necessary. [...]

[...] For that matter, cellular comprehension and reaction are too fast for you to follow. [...]

He did not tell you the many times he used my suggestions with good results in Rochester, simply because when he had the time to talk to you other matters had arisen, and he forgot some of the instances.

[...] The subject matter of our discussion is spelled out in the following material.)

[...] As matters progressed he did not believe it was possible for him to perform physically in a normal manner. [...]

[...] They respect you, for that matter, in a quite mysterious way to them, that they do not understand.

[...] Of the four regular sessions held in the remaining time, large portions dealt with matters growing out of the September 4th publication of Jane’s own book, The Seth Material, and a projected radio and television tour.

[...] It is not a matter of refusing to accept it, but a lack of perception. [...]

[...] There are cases in which a personality goes very quickly into another physical life, in perhaps a matter of hours. [...]

[...] She’d never thought of it before; and neither had I, for that matter.

[...] But then he worried that perhaps he might not get all of the material tomorrow, so it is a matter of learning to trust yourself (with some gentle humor). [...]

[...] It is simply a matter of remembering the new framework of beliefs, and trusting that your impulses are leading in the proper direction. [...]

[...] It’s a matter of worrying. [...]

(Jane said she’d have the session early, so I could watch the Super Bowl, which was to begin at 4:30, but I said it didn’t matter all that much. [...]

Now that you know something about the nature of matter, you will see that all matter is objectified mental action, and that basically such action happens simultaneously in the spacious present, formed by individualized energy through the formation of mental enclosures.

I wanted to give you this material because it is basic for any comprehension of mental acts as they occur in the dream universe and the universe of matter. [...]

(Frank Longwell also visited today—before Jim did, as a matter of fact —and helped Jane experiment with certain exercises for her legs in the bathroom. [...]

[...] This is not some dry academic undertaking, but a matter of intense personal activities on both of your parts. [...]

[...] Now in matters of personal health, this is bound to add to the uncertainty: you are trying to live your lives according to new rules that are as yet not completely given, so to that extent it is somewhat natural that Ruburt and you become at times uneasy, wonder at times about the personal material, wonder if it is distorted in those areas, or whatever—and there are no known ways to check such material—the material itself is that original. [...]

[...] as a piece or chunk of physical matter... [...] You do not understand the ways in which you project the physical matter of yourself into this room, however. [...]

([Tom:] “He talked some more about physical matter... [...]

[...] And—as a piece or chunk of physical matter—you are indeed immediate and here. You do not understand the ways in which you project the physical matter of yourself into this room, however. [...]

([Theodore:] “He talked some more about physical matter—and elaboration on the things we’ve talked about during the evening. [...]

[...] He is afraid to go ahead, feeling it not safe, yet he is damned if he will retreat, and for that matter he realizes that there is no retreat from your own knowledge and experience.

[...] You were also worried about Ruburt’s spontaneity in psychic matters, and for a while quite approved of the sudden brakes. [...]

[...] You must let him know that you do trust him and his spontaneity, because before, no matter what you said, he knew that to some degree you wanted brakes applied.

[...] I hit my body so quickly that my physical head was spinning, but no matter. [...]

Consider this early passage from session 92, which I now accept as basic: “Each dream begins with psychic energy which the individual transforms not into physical matter, but into a reality every bit as functional and real. [...]

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

[...] Not being a physical reality, it influenced the world of physical matter in a way that no purely physical event could.

As you are discovering for all our discussion on matter, matter matters even while it does not matter at all.

[...] You both tuned me in, and I found your discussion extremely interesting, though I must say I am rather glad that I do not have to deal with such matters myself any longer.

[...] The material on the construction of matter was gone over. [...]

(During his discussion on the creation of matter, Seth used the coffee table and a wineglass in making his points about how each of us creates his own world, with its own atoms and molecules. [...]

[...] Regarding the individual constructions of the world of matter, each with its own set of atoms and molecules, Seth said that these individual worlds are not as much alike as one might think, even though there is telepathic agreement on such things as the placement of objects in space, etc. [...]

[...] At the end of the session Seth told the Gallaghers he had deliberately given the information about Bill’s mother being a bookkeeper and liking the color blue, in order to show them that valid information had been produced, no matter what its source.

[...] A remarkable insight—to me; and that’s what matters.

1. The “big bang” theory postulates that 10 to 15 billion years ago all matter — or energy — was concentrated in one great primordial “atom.” [...] One variation of the theory considered a pulsating universe that results from the repeated collapsing and expanding of all matter-energy.

[...] Evidently her body needs this kind of rest, what with the increased movements and so forth; I haven’t tried to get her to have sessions, thinking the obvious greater relaxation is more important, no matter how much I would like to get more information from Seth. [...]

(Tonight, then, I was quite surprised when Jane roused herself enough to tell me that she wanted to have a session, no matter how brief it was. [...]

[...] Jane had no idea of the subject matter for the session, although she expected the session to be short. [...]

[...] However there is more material concerning the nature of matter which should be considered first.

However, the basic cooperative nature of the libido is indeed responsible, in large degree, for the psychic cooperation in which all entities are involved, in the construction of a physical world of matter that is inhabited by all on your plane.

Here you will discover man’s true origins, and the mechanisms and ways in which the unseen self operates, forms his universe of matter through psychic energy, and communicates on levels unperceived by his outer physical organism.

[...] In our earlier discussions concerning the nature of matter, we made it plain that each individual created any given material object, through use of the inner senses, and following certain rules which were mentioned.

[...] Within the physical field these perceivable symbols are composed of matter, which is a conglomeration of atoms and molecules. [...]

[...] A rereading of sessions dealing with the nature of matter will help you here. [...]

In the same way in the midst of life, you dwell with so-called ghosts and apparitions, and for that matter you yourselves appear as apparitions to others, particularly when you send strong thought-forms of yourself from the sleep state, or even when unconsciously you travel out of your physical body.

It is not a simple matter to explain life conditions as you know them, so it is extremely difficult to discuss the complexities of which you are not aware.

Before we get to your questions: if you want any more sessions from me on this matter, then each of you are to keep a list of any improvements you notice in Ruburt’s condition. [...]

[...] For that matter neither has he.

[...] A strong impeding belief is the one that the body could not any longer perform no matter what he did, and this largely was the result of a concentration upon negative aspects.

The procedure I suggested was simply meant as an intermediary, handy method that would allow him to realize he could handle the matter in other ways. [...]
