“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You will remember that we said that atoms and molecules contained consciousness, a generalized consciousness first of all, in which data is suspended in condensed mental genetic code, and also a self-consciousness to some limited degree.

I have mentioned also that the cells in an arm could just as well have been formed into the cells of another limb or portion of the body. Here it is the purpose of this mental genetic code system to maintain such purpose and data. There is a difference between the physical chromosome pattern, and the mental gene code, in that the chromosomes carry translated inner instructions in condensed physical form, for the physical cells to follow.

However, the mental system that parallels the chromosome system carries in condensed form within the atoms generalized consciousness, data that has been transmitted to it by the entity. That is, before entry into your plane, the main characteristics of a personality have already been determined by the personality itself.

The cooperation is gone. We have spoken of mental enzymes and of their importance. It would be helpful to reread those passages in connection with this material. It is because every atom and molecule contains within it condensed comprehension, inner, direct, codified comprehension, of the inner universe as a whole, that these atoms and molecules are capable of such varied combinations and variations.

I have said that this condensed comprehension is readily available when it is needed. It is latent within the generalized consciousness of each atom and molecule, and is directly responsible for the combination into cell structure.

You cannot perceive either the consciousness or comprehension, condensed and latent, in the sperm, and then in the fetus, before the human body’s complete construction; nor can you see or perceive the comprehension or the consciousness that is still there, when so-called death occurs.
