Something along the line of mental genes. (Jane dictates:) As mental genes are behind the physical genes so to speak, so mental enzymes are behind the physical stuff that you can examine on your plane. Chlorophyll is such a mental enzyme, and there are more which I shall describe to you at another time.

In a sense any color or quality of that nature could be considered a mental enzyme. There is an exchange of sorts between the mental and the physical without which, for example, color would not exist. Now I use color as an example first because it is easier perhaps to understand how this could be a mental enzyme, than it is to understand the same thing about chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is green but more than color. (Pause.) Nevertheless there is an interaction here also which gives the chlorophyll its properties. (Pause.) This is one of the most difficult terms to explain. I hope to make it much clearer to you, but it involves part of a larger concept and as yet you do not have the necessary background.

(Jane dictates:) Chlorophyll as I said is a mental enzyme, and is one of the moving forces in your plane. However, a variant of this exists in all other planes. It is a mental spark so to speak that sets everything into motion. (Pause.)

This has also much to do believe it or not with feeling, which also is a mover. You must try not to categorize things in old ways, but when you open your mind you will see a similarity between chlorophyll as a mental enzyme or mover, and emotion which is never still. Emotion solidified is something else again and perhaps is a framework of other worlds. (Pause.) And really Jane, you’re giving your subconscious an awful lot of credit. Let’s see credit where credit is due.

Perhaps I may be able to make mental enzymes clearer afterwards since they have a basic part to play in the universe, at least as I know it so far. Let me say though in your own experience you are familiar with steam, water and ice. These are all manifestations of the same thing. So can a seemingly physical chlorophyll be also a part of a seemingly immaterial emotion or feeling, but in a different form; and of course directed into this form or caused to take various forms as response to certain laws, as of course ice will not exist of itself in the middle of your summertime. And if I am not to be compared to a symphony, Joseph, you must admit I do well with a figurative baton.
