“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

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.

These apparent inspirations from nowhere definitely come from somewhere, and this somewhere is that inner dreaming condition, which is a necessity on the part of every consciousness, human or otherwise. Here I am using the word consciousness to cover all organisms with awareness. This dream activity seems divorced from the conscious state itself, and came before the conscious state within your physical system. It cannot be turned off, and it will not cease. It will only be noticed, as a rule, when the aware portions of the personality are disconnected from their physical stimulations to some considerable degree.

These dream activities have a pulsing quality that could be compared with the pulsing of heartbeat, and that are quite as vital to the human system. So much telepathic communication is received at this level that the lines of individuality are not as brilliant. Yet individuality does exist here, but it takes a strong organizing system, with amazing powers of discrimination, to handle such data; and it takes the human personality to stand firm upon its own identity while it is, on this other dreaming level, open to so many communications that are not its own.
