“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt is learning to minutely experience — change that — Ruburt is learning to minutely alter his experience with the probable atomic correlations that exist quite as validly as does the particular kind of atomic integrity that you generally recognize. When he does so, in your terms, he alters atomic receptivity. [...]

[...] The structure of the atom that you recognize, and its activity, is in larger terms one probable version of an atom.¹¹ Your consciousness, as it is allied with the flesh, follows the activity of atoms as far as it is reflected in your system of reality.

From the 250th session for April 11, 1966: “The atom you ‘see’ does not grow larger in mass, or expand outward in your space, and neither does your universe.”

[...] As atoms have a mobility, so do psychological structures in their own way. They move through the value climate of psychological reality as freely as atoms move through your time.

[...] The atoms and molecules are forever moving, and in a way the electrons are the directors of that motion.

Remember that you are also objects, and also events, and as physical bodies your organs are also composed of atoms and molecules whose motion, again, is directed by the electrons.

[...] After the program ended at 9:00 I explained to Jane out of my own limited knowledge how particle accelerators—“atom smashers”—work. [...]

[...] Will the dissection of a gene, down even to its atomic components, ever yield reincarnational clues? [...]

I have mentioned that atoms and molecules possess consciousness to a degree, as do electrons of course. [...]

The consciousness of atoms and molecules can be likened to the subconscious as you now know it, in that it is generalized to a large degree, but energy-propelled. [...]

[...] Emanations from this field continue, traveling further, projecting energy that is transformed as you know into matter; and in a simplified version of your universe perceived in terms of such force fields, you would have seemingly endless atoms and molecules spinning about the nucleus, or an endless variety of such patterns that would appear on first appraisal random to an observer from another field.

[...] The sound instrument had a fantastic cohesive effect that bound atoms and molecules together.”

[...] [Pause.] “All objects have their own sound patterns that help form their structure as much as the atoms and molecules do....”

[...] Something about these instruments making atoms and molecules denser, somehow—doing different things with them....”

[...] This was followed by a discussion of the data Seth introduced in last week’s class session, concerning the pulsating nature of atoms and molecules — and this in turn led to the consideration of possible origins for the so-called flying saucer phenomena.)

[...] Since their atomic structure is not the same as yours, distortions must occur in order to make any contact possible. [...]

(To Art O.): Now, my dear scientific friend over there: Atoms and molecules, minute as they may appear to you, also carry their burden of consciousness and responsibility. [...]

[...] Even physically you are more than you know, for the chemicals that are your body, and the atoms and molecules and the breath that leaves your lungs... [...]

[...] The atoms and the molecules in this chair, you see, and in our friend’s camera, all have a consciousness...

Now: As you know, you do not perceive the atoms and molecules that swim about the room, nor those that fill the space between our two friends, nor the forces — the field forces — that exist. [...]

Now: You use atoms and molecules in a strange way. [...]

While you were
sleeping,
all the cupboards
of the earth
were filled.
Mother Earth
sought out each
need.

While you were
weeping,
your tears fell
as sweet rain
drops on small
parched hills
that rise in worlds
you cannot see,
though you are known
there.

While you were
sleeping,
Mother Earth
filled all the
cupboards of your
flesh
to overflowing.
Not one atom went
uncomforted
in worlds that
are yours,
but beyond your
knowing.

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.

They are aware of themselves as a part of action, and therefore through capsule comprehension, which we have discussed, the simple atoms and molecules are aware of their own basic immortality. [...]

[...] Compared to this truly astounding structure, that is the result of the memory of every atom and molecule, this impeding action is relatively unimportant, and when correct methods are used, it can be dislodged without too much difficulty.

[...] Look at it this way: The young woman through whom I speak once stated in a poem, and I quote: “These atoms speak, and call themselves my name.”

Now your physical body is a field of energy with a certain form, however, and when someone asks you your name, your lips speak it — and yet the name does not belong to the atoms and molecules in the lips that utter the syllables. [...]

The atoms and molecules themselves possess kinds of consciousness impossible for you to analyze, because the scales of your activities are so different. [...] The atoms and molecules and all of the seemingly smaller “particles” within them are, again, information-carrying processes, and upon them depends your entire interpretation of the nature of events.

[...] To the vitality within your atoms and molecules. [...]

The physical sound that I make, the energy that you sense now is, indeed, a part of the energy that sings within the vitality of any atom and molecule. [...]

[...] You do not perceive the atoms or molecules that compose them; so in the same way, but in a different manner of speaking, events seem “solid” as tables do.

Now: In purely physical terms, what you think of as consciousness of the self arises from a certain peak of intensity reached by the gestalt consciousness of the atoms and molecules, and cells and organs, that compose the body.

Secondary constructions, being composed of atoms and molecules, contain generalized consciousness and innate capsule comprehension. [...]

[...] It dispenses with its atoms and molecules, or matter, almost instantaneously, as you know.

The atoms and molecules appear and disappear. [...]

[...] The apparent continuity is a result of your inability to perceive the actual atoms that compose matter as they appear and disappear. [...]

[...] (With gestures, eyes wide open): The activities of atoms and molecules quicken as they approach these points, but the distance between the atoms and molecules remains the same. [...]

[...] We have said that to some degree even atoms and molecules have consciousness, and each one of those minute consciousnesses forms its own dreams, even as on the other hand each one forms its own physical image. Now, as in the physical field individual atoms combine for their own benefit into more complicated structure gestalts, so do they also combine to form such gestalts, though of a somewhat different nature, in the dream world.

[...] Hitler might well have exploded the world’s first atomic bomb.

[...] In the same way (pause), Germany did not have the [atomic] bomb for the same reasons.

[...] The atoms and molecules within them have their own consciousness, as do the atoms and molecules with your body.
