In Session 73, recorded on a steamy Wednesday evening, July 22, 1964, our channeler, Jane Roberts is a bit jumpy about having new witnesses, a Dr. and Mrs. Piper. As usual, Seth arrives with his signature blend of cosmic wisdom and dry wit.
The Pre-Show Jitters
Before diving into the deep end, Seth offers some advice regarding Jane's performance anxiety. He points out that her conscious worrying about whether the guests will show up is blocking his connection. His suggestion is to chill out and trust the inner self. "The whole thing should be handled on a subconscious level, so that he seems to automatically prepare himself in advance in response to an inner knowledge as to whether or not witnesses will arrive."
Just then, the guests appear. Seth, ever the character, can't resist a playful jab: "Now that your guests are indeed arriving, you may let them enter, or I myself will open the door."
The Pulsating Chair of Reality
With the audience settled, Seth gets back to one of his core teachings: the true, bizarre nature of matter. He reiterates that objects like a chair aren't solid, continuous things. Instead, they are being constantly and instantaneously constructed by energy. We perceive them as stable only because our senses can't keep up with the rapid-fire pulsations of their creation. Matter, he explains, "is the simultaneous expression of energy under certain conditions."
He drives the point home with his favorite prop: "The chair is neither durable nor continuous, and its reality is limited to the recognition which you give it as an object." So, that thing you're sitting on is more of a persistent idea than a solid object.
Guest Stars & Past-Life Readings
Seth then turns his attention to the newcomers, giving them their "entity names": Aeiada for Mrs. Piper and Norman for the doctor.
You Build Your Own Reality (So Stop Headbutting the Walls)
The session's ultimate takeaway is a powerful one: we are the architects of our physical world. Our expectations, beliefs, and fears are the direct blueprints for our material experience. Seth even links this to biology, explaining how the thyroid gland reacts to panic, triggering subconscious mechanisms "to actually create, in matter, the object of the fears which have themselves caused the initial overaction."
He puts it bluntly and memorably: "You knock your head against walls that you yourselves have made."
The session ends with Seth suggesting the guests read the material from the beginning and teasing a future party where he promises, "I shall keep my dignity, and you may worry about your own."
