“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The cells are independent, as they are individuals. They are also dependent upon the driving organization of your subconscious, following its directions even to cancerous reproductions, which on their part is of course growth.

You as a physical being are also dependent upon many forces that you do not understand, so there is no contradiction in saying that the cells are individual and independent, and yet dependent upon stronger organization. There is no coercion put upon the cells, because each cell is what it is because of its innate ability and strength. Nor is there any coercion as far as a personality is concerned, which is a part of an entity. There are laws of development, which are the only real laws, and which govern such matters. Or really, such matters govern themselves. When capabilities grow there are ways of further growth which become open.

I am afraid I have taken you too deeply into these matters too early. There are no simple answers. There is complexity and growth and the dynamics of vitality always; and these find new forms, new diversions and new creations constantly. Your own animals and all the various species that you know belong to a general grouping, with man presently holding forth.
