“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Thoughts spring into your mind as the objective universe swims into reality — that is, in the same fashion. Diagramming sentences tells you little about the spoken language, and nothing about those miraculous physical and mental performances that allow you to speak — and so diagramming the species of the world is, in the same way, quite divorced from any true understanding.

You walk quite well without having at your fingertips any conscious knowledge of the inner mechanism’s activity. You may have been told, or you may have read about the body’s anatomy, and the interaction of its parts. Yet whether or not you have such information, you walk quite as well. Such data therefore do not help your walking performance any.

For that matter, an athlete may have a great zest for motion and an impatience with reading, caring not what within the body makes it move as long as its performance is superb — while an invalid with great book knowledge about all of the body’s parts is quite unable to physically perform in a normal manner.

Your body knows how to walk. The knowledge is built-in and acted upon. The body knows how to heal itself, how to use its nourishment, how to replace its tissues, yet in your terms the body itself has no access to the kind of information the mind possesses. Being so ignorant, how does it perform so well?

If it were scientifically inclined, the body would know that such spontaneous performance was impossible, for science cannot explain the reality of life itself in its present form, much less its origins.
