“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is rather important that the reality of these electromagnetic systems be understood, as they are so important in the construction of physical images and dream images, and since they are responsible for the inner communication which takes place beneath consciousness.

These systems are affected by the weather, and they also affect the weather. There is a constant inflow and outflow. The dream, any dream, fits neatly within certain and definite electromagnetic boundaries, and at the same time helps to form the electromagnetic field itself.

No physical matter is without this electromagnetic reality, and no thought exists which does not exist within this reality. Again, I am not speaking symbolically, but quite practically. Emotions, having their own reality within this system, do not affect physical matter indirectly, but cause specific electromagnetic changes within the physical organism.

This, and all such effects, represent one of the most basic ways in which one action causes another action to change. These definite fields operate as channels for inner communications. They may be formed instantly, sweeping out into other directions. They open through attraction. This attraction may originate as an emotional one, but the emotional feeling has its own electromagnetism, and the attraction is in direct proportion to the force of the emotion itself, or to the charge that the emotion may carry.

These dreams go unrecognized by the conscious ego; but they do not go unrecorded by the inner self, and they therefore exist, and they form electromagnetic channels of their own to which—make that by which—the physical body itself is affected. The physical organism is constantly changed by all stimuli, whether or not the ego is aware of the stimuli. And it is affected by stimuli, whether or not science realizes that the particular stimuli even exists. Therefore, the physical organism reacts to this continuous unconscious mental activity in the form of continuing dream experiences, whether or not the individual is awake or asleep. All of these realities go into the formation of the personality, and unless they are all understood the personality itself will remain a mystery.

Dream experiences often, very often, change the course of human events. Again, all this takes place through the operation of electromagnetic systems. There is a definite connection between this constant dream activity undertaken by the unconscious self, and what you call inspiration or creative activity.
