“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, on your particular camouflage universe you are learning energy transformation. And in your case you are learning to transform inner energy by forming it into physical constructions that the plane enables you to manipulate by the formation of particular outer senses for this purpose. You are severely limited as yet in the use of your abilities. When the two laws of value fulfillment and energy transformation are mastered, then duration is a natural consequence.

Energy transformation and value fulfillment, all existing within the spacious present, add up to a durability that is at the same time spontaneous. Energy transformation and value fulfillment add up to a durability that is simultaneous.

What you consider death has no more basic reality than has your idea of time and space. Death really represents a blind spot in your present ability to perceive energy transformation, and even value fulfillment. Death merely represents the termination of your own perception, that is, the termination of your understanding. Your ability here amounts to a complete dwindling of comprehension. Your senses are not equipped to perceive the transformation of energy from one form to another.

Certainly the birth of a child is really basically just as incomprehensible, but this transformation is projected into, rather than out of, your sphere of understanding. What you call death is merely the transformation of your own energy onto a sphere that cannot be perceived by the outer senses. I hope that I have made this material plain enough for your plane.

[...] When you paint a picture, my dear egotistical Joseph, you are dealing with a transformation of energy and a transformation of camouflage pattern. [...] You are forced because of your earthly physical situation to transform this creative energy into another camouflage pattern. [...] You transform it into a somewhat different more evocative new camouflage pattern that is nevertheless more fluent, more fluid, than the usual pattern, and which gives greater freedom and mobility to the basic fuel or vitality itself. [...]

The instruments themselves do this transforming, transforming say the idea of time or light years into sound patterns, radio waves and such. [...]

Mental enzymes have much to do with psychic phenomena naturally, as they have to do with the transformation of energy on any level and of any kind. [...]

Mental enzymes are the transformers, and as I have said they are extremely important. [...]

Many people go through several such transformations, using symbolic transformations then that still serve to focus wonder and curiosity while keeping them well within the accepted picture. [...]

(Her material this afternoon concerned “the reconciliation of the Sinful Self and its transformation into the innocent self that it was before it was undermined —indoctrinated—with negative beliefs.” [...]

[...] For centuries Christianity served to preserve old frameworks while still allowing for transforming elements and symbolic activities that allowed individuals to assert some independence and originality by moving from one religious symbol, say, to another—still, however, within that larger framework. [...]

It is then transformed into what it was before such indoctrination by the culture. [...]

A simple example can be seen in the transformation of an idea into a painting, that is the transformation of the energy, the psychological energy of an idea into physical materialization. The idea itself, once you have conceived of it, represents an additional energy component that you build up, formulate and manipulate on the psychological level, and then transform; but the idea itself contains energy.

Ideas, being themselves composed of energy, are translated or transformed into other kinds of energy, which you happen in many instances to perceive. On other planes the idea energy is perceived, and the energy transformed into physical fields is not perceived.

[...] In the past I spoke briefly of pulsations, as atoms and molecules were transformed from one energy plane to another, becoming visible to the material field. [...]

It represents also the minimum thrust value necessary for physical transformation of energy from a purely psychological into a physical state. [...]

These particles are, then, transformers of a kind; receiving energy from system B, they transform it before passing it through. [...]

This transformation of energy should be quite comprehensible since you know that you subconsciously transform energy into physical, mental, creative or psychological states, manipulating it to your advantage. [...]

[...] Availability of energy and energy transformation into the particular camouflage necessities of the system are other properties.

A system may say that within its limitations there is room for still further transformation of energy into still more various camouflage forms. [...]

In a very real manner events or objects are actually focal points where highly charged psychic impulses are transformed into something that can be physically perceived, a breakthrough into matter. [...]

[...] They may be transformed and emerge as realities or events within entirely different systems, in which they are then accepted by the inhabitants as vivid events. [...]

[...] You do not understand as yet the prime part played by the nervous system in the transformation of psychic material into physical matter.

[...] When you paint a picture, my dear Joseph, you are dealing with a transformation of energy and transformation of camouflage pattern. [...]

You are forced to transform this creative energy into another camouflage pattern because of your earthly situation. [...] Then you transform it into a somewhat different, more evocative, new camouflage pattern that is, nevertheless, more fluent, more fluid than the usual pattern, and gives greater freedom and mobility to the vitality itself. [...]

[...] As their instruments reach further into the physical universe, they will see further and further, but they will automatically and unconsciously transform what they apparently see into the camouflage patterns with which they are familiar. [...]

[...] They themselves transform data from terms you cannot understand into terms that you can understand. [...]

[...] When I spoke of energy being transformed within the mental enclosure, I mentioned that it was transformed into matter, but also into other constructions.

[...] But it is limiting only for the ultimate purpose of intense concentration of energy, resulting in a burst or expansion of this energy that has been transformed and pressurized, so to speak, into new patterns.

[...] Mental enzymes help transform the energy into incipient patterns, from which matter, physical matter, can result.

The front gates of our cube then open, freeing the transformed energy. [...]

These realities, because of their continuing effects within your system, and their actual transformation of it, should be studied thoroughly, for much can be gained in this way. Like transformations are made by events in your universe upon the dream 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.

[...] 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. [...]

The Crucifixion was one of the gigantic realities that transformed and enriched both the universe of dreams and the universe of matter, and it originated in the universe of dreams. [...]

[...] In other words, such a dream may begin to transform the physical environment through lifting inner expectation.

When you realize this, then our energy transformation and our change of molecular structure comes into play. There is no barrier of space to be overcome, there is merely a transformation, first of all of psychic energy, and then because you are on your plane bound to many camouflage concepts, there will be a secondary reconstruction of physical image.

I have explained to you how the inner self is connected to the present personality, and how the emotions at your end change through the layers of the subconscious, begin in your plane as parts of the personality, and as part of your force field, and then are transformed and become the inner-sense connective that connects the outer ego to the inner self.

I have also explained how energy is transformed, and changes, adapting itself to the particular camouflage pattern of any given plane. [...]

In your dreams, when the conscious ego is stilled, you often and continually work this transformation, and we have gone into this problem. [...]

In many respects the physical body itself aids in these transformations, through chemical interactions, changes in delicate electromagnetic balances, temperature variations, and through other methods that will be discussed shortly.

[...] This is the nearest I can come at this moment in telling you how this particular sort of transformation can occur.

Thoughts and emotions directly activate the mechanics of physical matter, alter and transform it, maintain it, and also destroy it.

[...] This infinite healing presence within me is now transforming every atom of my being, making me whole and perfect now. [...]

[...] The healing intelligence of her subconscious mind which created her body is now transforming every cell, nerve, tissue, muscle, and bone of her being according to the perfect pattern of all organs lodged in her subconscious mind.

(John said that his boss was very nervous that day at the meeting in Rochester, when the transformation took place in his features. [...] John said he could understand his boss’s feeling of desperation, which led in turn to the transformation.)

(See page 253 of the 313th session, describing a change of features John saw transform the face of his district supervisor recently at a meeting in Rochester. [...]

The transformation brought about subconsciously in answer to an inner need and to offset a growing feeling of panic and failure.

(Regarding the data on page 260: John said Seth’s description of an Andy Gump type fits a salesman in his company named John Winslow and that JW was present at the Rochester meeting three weeks ago, during which time the transformation took place in the features of John’s district supervisor. [...]

[...] So you become parents of thoughts and feelings that can help to transform your world. I’m not speaking of transforming it through great dogmas, but of concepts that put people in touch with their own reality.

[...] The personality is already immersed in a dimensional transformation; when the emotional need of those within the physical plane call out for communication, they add to the pull or force of the attraction still present, binding portions of the personality to the physical field, and can add to the resistance encountered by personalities in transformation.

This may cause bewilderment and disorientation to such a transforming personality. [...]

[...] And your own emotional explosions appear transformed into mass within one such system.

The psychic organism is much better equipped to handle such transformations and translations than is the physical organism, and there are also influences, quite natural, from surrounding psychic environments within your system that can act as resistances.

What magicians we all are,
turning darkness into light,
transforming invisible atoms
into the dazzling theater
of the world,
pulling objects,
(people as well
as rabbits)
out of secret
microscopic closets,
turning winter into summer,
making a palmful of moments
disappear through time’s trap door.

[...] But seeing myself transformed more or less into plain black and white words on a page of paper seems dull and uninteresting. [...]

It is much more difficult for this data to be transformed by you, Joseph, and Ruburt is right here, because you are sensitive to inner visual data, and pictures that you get in this way would frequently need interpretation.

Do you have in mind the transformation of inner data into woodcarvings?

[...] However this will take much practice on her part, as she is as far from proficiency along that line as you are far from her use of the ability to transform inner data into audio patterns.

Each of you act as transformers, unconsciously, automatically transforming highly sophisticated electromagnetic units into physical objects. [...]

Quite literally, the “inner self” forms the body by magically transforming thoughts and emotions into physical counterparts. [...]

When I come through in an emotional manner at all, this is often transformed into the loud voice, an overvolume, a static. Ruburt has not learned as yet to transform these elements throughout the whole physical system, you see—(gesturing in a humorous way, Jane rubbed her outstretched arms alternately; eyes wide, smiling)—but focuses them at the vocal cords, which causes difficulty that I understand.

[...] The physical organism cannot perceive it, hence some necessary transformations. [...]

[...] This is accomplished through what you might call a changing of frequencies or vibrations: a transformation of vitality from one particular pattern or aspect to another. [...]
