“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

These psychological structures exist as prerequisites for the material structure of your universe. The inner senses represent such psychological structures. They become physically apparent to some degree in the emotions, which do have definite form, certain mass, depth, and solidity in the realm of psychological perspective which you do not physically perceive.

Some of the basic shapes in your physical universe are, therefore, reflections of these inner psychological structures, more or less reproduced in matter. These are in one sense certainly tangible to the inner self. It is these inner psychological structure patterns to a large degree that determine the shape and form of physical structures.

Understand that awareness is the criteria, however. There is no law limiting the number of psychological structures available to you, but because of your present development, and because of this alone, you are hampered. Experience or lack of it on various fields has not yet been possible, so practically speaking you have a limited number of basic psychological structures to deal with; and your perception, clear psychological understanding, intuitive comprehension of, and manipulation and psychological constructions of these basic structures, will determine the validity of your material constructions that will then form your environment.

Now, in dealing with such matters, I have to explain them from the standpoint of psychological structures with which you are familiar. When your own projections improve and grow more frequent, it is at least possible, with your abilities, that you will come into contact with some different psychological structures, and then I can tell you more.

Other psychological structures beside your own have their being in realities you will find difficult to comprehend, even though they may be connected with your own, and you unknowingly, may be part of them. [...] There are many yous in that system, and each you is related psychologically in a personality structure. [...]

[...] You remain latent in their personality structures, and your main abilities are unused within their systems. Yet all of you are a part of one self, you see, in a multidimensional psychological structure.

[...] The ego structure as such remains, of course. [...]

[...] It obviously becomes part of the personality-psychological structure, the physical structure, the electrical and chemical structure, invading to some extent even the dream universe.

Without any acceptance of painful stimuli the structure could never maintain itself, for the atoms and molecules within the structure constantly accept painful stimuli, and suffer even joyfully, their own destruction; being aware of their own separateness within action, and aware of their reality within all action, and not having complicated “I” structures to maintain, there is no reason for them to fear destruction.

[...] The structure will seem, that is the impeding structure will seem, to maintain itself. [...]

The complicated organism which is the human personality with its physical structure, has evolved, along with many other structures, a highly differentiated “I” consciousness, whose very nature is such that it attempts to preserve the apparent boundaries of identity. [...]

Self-structures and identities are not the same. Identity requires no structure. [...] Self-structures know and do not know that they know. Self-structures are a part of identity. [...]

[...] This kind of comprehension automatically puts you out of self- (hyphen) structures as you think of them, but does not deny identity. Since you are very involved with self-structures as you think of them, then knowledge must be given in such a way that it affects the structure as you know it.

Knowledge in your terms does change your own physical structure, merging with the physical stuff of your image, but your ego remains relatively detached from it, you see. [...]

[...] So merged that you cannot see your way clearly out of the concept, nor easily imagine reality from any other viewpoint but the self-structure that you presently imagine yourself to be. [...]

[...] Directly behind it, it seems clear of structures. It seems clear of structures to the water. [...] The garage structure is now to my right, and behind it there are other structures leading down toward the water. [...]

[...] Simple sentence structure—childlike. [...]

[...] There is some space between the house and the next structure on the right. [...]

[...] There are not many structures between them and the water. [...]

[...] We would prefer that you not think of any given entire entity in terms of a physical structure, though we have ourselves used the term structure to make explanations simpler, and will probably do so again.

[...] Each exists to some extent where the other is, and yet the camouflage structures make it necessary for those within any given system to recognize the certain characteristics, only, of the one in which focus is to be maintained.

At physical death, in your terms, the personality structure is able to approach certain coordinates, to perceive them, and to change focus from one system to another. [...]

[...] As a painting that is destroyed physically may still be retained in your mind, so in the reality of the physical system a trace remains, an image trace of the camouflage structure that enclosed a given personality.

[...] The electromagnetic structure of your universe, in a basic manner, is divorced from its physical structure, though part of it can be deduced through a study of the physical structure.

[...] They may not be perceived as physical objects, but as reality that conforms to the particular camouflage structure within.

Thoughts have what you may term color and shape, as well as electromagnetic structure and intensity. [...]

[...] Moment points have a structure, electromagnetically.

(Those at Baalbek; the Pyramids, etc.) Yet those structures exist even in your now, bleed-throughs to make you think and in other terms to make you remember. Many physical structures have existed in your terms in the same space now occupied by your apartment house. [...] Yet those structures exist as validly as the apartment house.

[...] “These are structures engineered on our earth, extremely cleverly, Sound patterns would physically materialize them, but if these patterns aren’t given then the structures are just out of the range of what we’d normally [call?] physical. [...]

(She saw a structure like a pyramid shape. [...] It was all important, she said, that the heavier sounds were at the base of the structures. [...]

[...] The ideas will be actualized or put into a practical structure according to your attitude toward them.

No physical communication systems, such as nerves and so forth, are accomplished before these invisible inner energy telepathic structures are first set forth, for these impress within the unformed physical structures the habits and ways which the physical structures will then follow; and these inside telepathic lines continue to exist within the physical structures after they are completed, and for a while after the physical structures have been broken down.

In the most simple of living structures telepathy is a necessity for communication, particularly before the inside energy is concentrated sufficiently to form any sort of more complicated pattern or nerve structure. Even when such nerve structures and physical complications are evolved telepathy operates, still a necessity as a communications system within the physical structure, and still handling data which cannot be carried through any physical medium, simply because it is untranslatable by its nature into physical materialization.

[...] And at the same time the laying down of these intangible paths serve as the inner framework over which or upon which future physical lines or structures will be laid.

In other words these idea camouflage structures are prerequisites for your physical structures, and to the extent that these idea structures evolve, to that extent can your physical structures change. This is why, for example, you are hampered even in your physical constructions by the idea structures of time that you have erected.

As a rule when we have talked of camouflage in general, we have been concerned with physical camouflage structures. An example being the spider’s web, and the table of a past discussion which is actually a conglomeration of atoms and molecules, loosely held together but experienced by your outer senses as a solid camouflage structure which can be used and manipulated in your camouflage existence.

These idea camouflage patterns represent important if nonmaterial structures, and we will refer to them as idea camouflage structures from now on, since they are basic frameworks that control the actual physical camouflage patterns, and even supervise for you the extent to which such physical patterns can be constructed.

There are however many other camouflage patterns which do not exist as solid structures, but exist as ideas.

[...] Now basically the original intensity of the charge determines its duration in your time structure. The intensity of particular charges can completely reorganize the personality structure through changes in the RNA formations. (Long pause at 9:10.) Previous life memories, existing electronically and magnetically, may carry such intense charge that they superimpose themselves in the present physical structure, and form memory patterns quite alien to those of the present ego personality.

[...] But they act within the physical structure, forming then definite changes in the RNA patterns.

[...] In some cases physical symptoms can actually make up a somewhat independent supersonality structure. [...]

[...] Every effort should be made to maintain them, for they will bring about the highest conditions of maturity possible for his personality structure.

Think of the greater you — call it the entity if you want to — as forming a psychic structure quite as real as your physical one, but composed of many selves. [...] The body is a temporal structure. [...]

So the entity or “greater” psychic structure of which you are a part is aware of much larger dimensions of activity than you are, yet in the same way its more sophisticated consciousness rests upon your own, and one is necessary to the other.

(9:39.) In this regard now, and for the sake of our analogy only, think of the life of the self as one message leaping across the nerve cells of a multidimensional structure — again, as real as your body — and consider it also as a greater “moment of reflection” on the part of such a many-sided personality.

[...] Your own present identity contains the knowledge and “memory” of all those simultaneous existences, even as the cells in their way retain memory of all those physical structures which they (have) formed. [...]

[...] I have told you earlier that there are other kinds of structures beside physical structures. Emotions and thoughts have their own structures, that may be manipulated in the same manner that physical objects are manipulated, generally speaking.

[...] An emotion has an electrical and chemical structure. [...] It is not a structure that takes up space as you know it, obviously, but it is a structure nevertheless, and could be compared to the appearance of dream locations.

If you toss a ball in a dream, neither the self that tosses the ball, nor the ball, exist in any space structure as you know it. In somewhat the same manner are emotion structures handled. A refusal or a denial, an attempt not to handle a particular emotional structure involves action. [...]

You may perhaps come closer to understanding how these psychological structures are manipulated if you consider the same sort of structures as they exist as dream objects in sleep.

Structured beliefs collect and hold your experience, packaging it, so to speak; and so when you look at a given experience that seems like another, you put it into the same structured package, often without examination. [...]

[...] But if you drop the time concept and then view the conscious content of your mind through other core ideas, you are still structuring. [...] I am saying that you must become aware of your own structures. [...]

[...] You must look through the structures that you have yourself created, the organized ideas upon which you have grouped your experience.

[...] This information will not be a part of the organized structure of your usual thoughts; though the data is consciously available you can be relatively blind to it.

[...] There is general and mass focus of all self-structures within that system, binding enough and cohesive enough so that the appearance of a permanent and all-pervading physical reality is maintained. The ego part of the structure concentrates with great intensity, directing itself within those coordinates that form physical reality.

These coordinates are psychic structures, and they form the cornerstones of all realities.

Through these openings whole groupings of self-structures experience, and reexperience in different ways, the dimensions within those coordinates. [...]

[...] Some of my own self-structures were never physical. [...]

[...] Beliefs are ways of structuring reality. If you overstructure reality, however, then you will end up with a formal mental garden — whose precise display may be so rigidly structured that the natural aspect of the plants and the flowers is completely obscured. Even your dream information, then, will flow into structured patterns.

[...] There are structured dreams as there are structured games in waking life. [...]

[...] Your conscious mind as you understand it is the “psychological structure” that deals with conditions on a physical basis. [...]

[...] The resulting structure of the dream suits your reality and no other: As this intrusive matter falls, plummets, or shifts through the levels of your own psychological atmosphere, it is transformed by the conditions it meets.

[...] Consciously you only experience portions of events with your corporeal structure, yet the structure itself records them.

Because of your psychological and psychic structure, there is within the rich makeup of your being a literally endless variety of what you may call probable selves. [...]

In your terms probable events are brought into actuality by utilizing the body’s nerve structure through certain intensities of will or conscious belief.

[...] (Suddenly very intense and fast:) At other levels of psychic activity however such knowledge is also available to you, but only when you disconnect your experience from the time-activated neuronal structure — and this you can do through various alterations of consciousness, often quite spontaneously adopted.

(Pause.) The biological structure as it existed in the past is therefore affected. [...] It is impossible, of course, for you to examine cellular structure now as it exists in the present and simultaneously as it existed in the past (very positively). [...]

During certain stages in sleep states you short-circuit the neurological structures, and perceive experiences of a multidimensional nature that you then attempt to translate, as best you can, into stimuli that can be physically assimilated — hence you often convert these into symbolic images that can be understood, and to some extent reacted to, by your bodily structure.

In such instances there is, as easily as I can explain it, a reaching into deep biological structures as they existed at one time; at that point the probabilities are altered, and the condition erased in your present — but also in your past.

[...] If, in the present, one past event can be altered within your neuronal structure, however, then basically no event is safe from such change.

[...] The cellular structure at that point responds to light, and activates latent abilities in the cellular structure of the mother’s body. [...]

[...] They are that sensitive to the consciousness within cellular structure. [...]

Now: there are electromagnetic structures, so to speak, that are presently beyond your (scientific) instruments, units that are the basic carriers of perception. [...]

[...] Your scientists are simply asking the wrong questions, and do not think in terms of such freewheeling structures.

[...] However, there is a structure to them. This structure is beyond the range of electromagnetic qualities as your scientists think of them. [...]

[...] One of the reasons why they have not been discovered is precisely because they are so cleverly camouflaged within all structures. 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 do intend to explain the structure of these units. [...]
